Perfect World: I Am Eternal

Chapter 374 Cats and Dogs
"We are not here for a visit, but rather as students invited by the Grand Elder to join the Immortal Academy," Lin Fan explained.

"Is there any proof?"

For a moment, Lin Fan and Yue Chan fell silent. After the old man abandoned them halfway, he only told them the location of the Immortal Academy and didn't give them any tokens.

"Notify the Grand Elder to come over; he'll know immediately upon seeing him," Lin Fan said after a moment's hesitation.

"How laughable! Our Grand Elder is a figure of immense stature, whose cultivation is as profound as the heavens. He practices the Great Law daily. How could you possibly see him whenever you wish?"

"Leave now, or don't blame me for being impolite."

Inside the mountain gate, the voice carried a hint of disdain and arrogance.

"Ha, I'd like to see just how impolite you are?"

Lin Fan was displeased. He was already annoyed that the old man had abandoned him halfway, but when he finally arrived at his destination, he was stopped by a gatekeeper.

"Hey!"

As soon as he finished speaking, a man walked out from inside the mountain gate, his red hair as fiery as fire, exuding a commanding presence.

At first glance, one can tell that this person is no ordinary individual; he possesses extraordinary talent and remarkable abilities. In particular, the presence of an ethereal aura surrounding his body further demonstrates his extraordinary nature.

Of course, compared to Lin Fan, this is not enough, but for guarding the gate, it is quite "luxurious".

"Hmm, these two young ladies are quite pretty. They can enter the Immortal Academy, as long as they get closer to me."

The red-haired man chuckled, making no attempt to conceal his arrogance as he sized up Yuechan and Fengluan.

It was obvious that he was attracted to the two women's looks and wanted to take them as maids or even concubines to serve him.

Moreover, their words were spoken as if it were a great honor bestowed upon them.

This made the two women feel disgusted and repulsed.

“I will go and fight him!” Feng Luan said.

She had always harbored a fiery temper. After being captured and brought to Jiutian, far from her homeland, she was nearly reduced from a high-ranking princess to a plaything.

This immense sense of loss and hatred caused her to feel no goodwill towards the beings of the Nine Heavens, and a hostility she wanted to vent.

Even now, her becoming a follower of Lin Fan and Yuechan is only a temporary expedient.

After all, she was once the princess of the ancient kingdom of Zhanxiandi. Whenever she went out, she was always surrounded by admirers and pampered by her clansmen. How could she easily and willingly become someone's maid?

She is doing this now for two reasons: first, to repay a debt of gratitude, and second, to find a way to return to her homeland.

Because Feng Luan learned that Lin Fan and Yue Chan did not belong to the Nine Heavens, but came from one of the Ten Lands—the Three Thousand Dao Provinces!
"boom!"

This battle was inevitable.

Feng Luan is very strong. She is a proud daughter of heaven and became a god at a young age, which speaks volumes.

She was not only stunningly beautiful, but also a master of fire magic, reaching a level of unparalleled skill, like a phoenix rising from the ashes.

"The young lady isn't bad, but... that's enough." The red-haired man smiled, his tone teasing.

The next moment, a pure white aura appeared around him, instantly disintegrating Feng Luan's magic and repelling her.

However, to everyone's surprise, the phoenix's brow glowed, and the "fire" mark seemed to come alive, pressing forward with force.

This was very strange. Lin Fan was watching it intently. The mark actually carried the aura of immortality, and it seemed to be some kind of bloodline inheritance.

"Hey!"

In an instant, the character "fire" glowed, gathering fire elements from heaven and earth to form a furnace, imprisoning the crimson man and burning him.

"You have some skills, but you haven't cultivated immortal energy yet, so you don't understand the difference." The red-clad man was dismissive and very confident.

Above his head, a Dao flower bloomed, transformed from celestial energy, mysterious and unpredictable, impacting the entire furnace.

Unfortunately, although Feng Luan was one of the best among the gods, she ultimately failed to cultivate immortal energy and was still lacking enough to suppress her opponent.

With a loud "Boom!", the furnace shattered, and Feng Luan turned pale, suffering a backlash.

She was defeated. Looking at that ethereal aura, she felt a sense of desolation. Even her strongest attack couldn't defeat a mere gatekeeper.

"In the end, we didn't take that step; there's a gap between us..." she sighed.

"Now you know, the Immortal Academy isn't a place just any Tom, Dick, or Harry can enter," the crimson-clad man said, looking down at her.

"Hey!"

Just then, a golden spear flew in, bursting with lightning, dazzling and bright, shooting forward.

It was Lin Fan who made the move!

"How dare you!" the red-haired man shouted, dodging the attack.

However, it was too fast, as brilliant as a galaxy, streaking across the sky with astonishing momentum, accompanied by a great deal of thunder.

Upon seeing this, the red-haired man unleashed a magical artifact—a bottle that spewed flames and collided with the golden spear.

Instantly, endless runes appeared between the two, and sparks flew everywhere.

"boom!"

Suddenly, Lin Fan leaped up and descended from the sky, stomping down and covering the earth with his foot, leaving the red-haired man furious and unable to dodge.

"court death!"

He let out a long roar, and a wisp of immortal energy swirled around his palm as he slapped it towards the sky, accompanied by a faint aura of chaos, exuding a fierce and imposing aura.

However, it was all in vain in the end. Lin Fan's big foot landed like a towering mountain, almost shattering his immortal aura.

The red-haired man was shocked and enraged. He used all his strength, causing the petals of the Great Dao to bloom, lifting the treasure bottle above his head. Flames soared into the sky and burned fiercely.

Even so, Lin Fan remained calm and did not use any immortal energy. He simply stomped down heavily, impervious to all magic.

"Crack!"

A crisp sound rang out, and the treasure bottle, under the foot of the ground, developed numerous cracks before exploding.

"My magical artifact!" The red-haired man was heartbroken, but before he could think any further, something even more infuriating happened.

The giant foot in the sky continued to press down, landing on his forehead and stomping him into the ground, creating a large crater.

"puff!"

Blood spurted out, and the disciple of the Immortal Academy screamed as his skull cracked open, blood mixed with brain matter splattering everywhere. He had suffered a severe injury and looked extremely gruesome.

"So this is all the Tom, Dick, and Harry of the Immortal Academy? Nothing special!" Lin Fan sneered, disdainfully.

The red-haired man's face turned ashen. He had just said those words, only to be mocked in return. It was truly humiliating.

At the same time, he was stepped on on the head and almost died. He felt extremely wronged and was too ashamed to face anyone.

Of course, what he felt most was shock. The opponent's attack was too fast and too casual. He was defeated just like that, without even displaying any divine aura. It was unbelievable.

Even within the Immortal Academy, there aren't many people with such strength, and each one is an extremely terrifying existence.

Even so, the red-haired man still had an air of arrogance and resentment, because behind him was one of the strongest academies in the Nine Heavens.

"Boy, do you know what you're doing? Provoking the Immortal Academy, you... ah..."

He cried out in pain and immediately shut his mouth. His primordial spirit was squeezed and almost collapsed, and he was annihilated in both body and spirit.

He quickly realized that the person above him was not afraid of being threatened, and did not dare to kill him because of his status as a disciple of the Immortal Academy.

"Yangming, what's wrong with you? You can't even handle some wild kid who came out of nowhere?"

Inside the mountain gate, laughter echoed as several figures emerged, both men and women, all appearing very young, accompanied by wisps of ethereal mist, exuding otherworldly grace.
