It's Lonely To Be Invincible

"I'm powerful, right?"

Tian Xu whispered. It was as if he didn't want others to hear him.

"Powerful?" Lin Fan rolled his eyes. ~What does it have to do with power?  It just feels like Master had an exciting life.~

~But which elite has led a boring life?~

~When I become an elite and start telling people about how I escaped from a beast's a**h***, is anyone going to believe it?~

~Most of them definitely won't. Only those who saw it personally will.~

"Disciple, let's not talk about this anymore. You will only understand after you experience more in life. It's going to confuse you even if Master teaches you now." Tian Xu waved his hands calmly and turned to Lin Fan, looking mysterious. He then secretly passed an old, small book to Lin Fan.

Lin Fan looked down. He couldn't tell what it was, but he took it anyway.

He expected it to be a skill set, but he knew he was wrong as he read the table of contents.

Chapter 1: Ways for ants to capture a goddess's heart.

Chapter 2: The types of women you shouldn't get on the wrong side of.

Chapter 3: Ten things men must say in their lives.

...

After a glance.

"Master, where did you get this from?" He turned to Tian Xu in horror.

"Shh!" Tian Xu shushed Lin Fan. "Don't talk or ask about it. It's a gift from Master to you. You can say that it's something that I passed down to you. Read it during your free time. It will contribute largely to your chances of having a good life."

He said and gave Lin Fan a knowing smile.

Speechless, Lin Fan kept the book in his storage ring and looked back at the arena.

It was an intense fight between Mu Ling and Zhang Feng.

"She's powerful." Zhang Long tried his very best to hold on. He realized that Mu Ling was way stronger than he expected. Her energy was surprisingly dense, and every attack of hers felt like it held a tremendous amount of energy.

Mu Ling frowned. She felt like a fire was burning in her, giving her endless energy.

Currently, all she thought about was victory. ~I must win.~

~Senior brother Lin is watching.~

She sent the other party flying with an attack. From the corner of her eyes, she could see that Lin Fan was still sitting in the same position. His eyes fixed on her as if enchanted.

Mu Ling could feel the fire grow, and her face turned red. It was so red that it looked like her face was being burnt by flames.

Just then, Zhang Feng came flying back towards her. He was making use of his strongest skill.

The spectating disciples were discussing heatedly too.

"Mu Ling is going to lose. This is Senior brother Zhang's Thousand Wind's Sorrow attack."

A palm's illusion appeared, and space seemed like it was about to explode.

Mu Ling felt intense pressure. But the stubbornness in her kept her barely going.

"I can't lose."

Suddenly, mystical energy exploded from her body. The power was beyond what she was usually able to exert.

"Breaking through during a fight?" Lin Fan raised an eyebrow. He did not expect that the sect would have such a talented disciple.

"Yeah. I did not expect this girl to be this good. It's rare to see people breaking through during fights." Tian Xu said, nodding. "With her talent, she will definitely grow strong if given time to develop."

Dao Tianwang, who sat on the side was confused. "Elder, is there something special about breaking through during a fight?"

"Mhmm. If you come across such an opponent, it's terrifying as you can never guess if he or she will break through during your fight. I've come across such an opponent before. He broke through twice while we were fighting.  It was a terrifying experience." Tian Xu said, reminiscing the past.

"Than how did elder win?" Dao Tianwang said in shock. "One that can fight elder must be of a similar cultivation as you."

"Win?" Tian Xu laughed. "I just killed him. My cultivation isn't something that others can overcome easily."

"Master, watch the competition." Lin Fan glanced at Tian Xu.

~Lies. If I believe Master's words, I can commit suicide here. Master isn't just good at boasting, but storytelling too.~

~ It's not difficult to guess what happened back then. It's either Master brought a group to beat up the other party or played some tricks to kill him. He must think I'm dreaming if I believe that he killed the person himself.~

At the same time, Mu Ling could feel intense Earth energy gushing into her body. The next second, incredible energy exploded out.

The spectating disciples were thrown off their feet.

"Oh my god, is Mu Ling breaking through?"

"How is it possible to breakthrough during a fight?"

"We take every breakthrough seriously and carefully. Isn't she afraid that breaking through during a fight will make her blood reverse and result in her getting injured?"

Instantly, Mu Ling launched an attack that totally suppressed Zhang Feng.

"I concede defeat." Zhang Feng smiled bitterly. This was completely unexpected.

~How am I supposed to continue?~

~When the other party suddenly breaks through during a fight? One must be insane to fight the Earth Star Border Realm when you're still in the Body Tempering Stage!~

"You let me win." Mu Ling said. Happiness could be seen washing over her face. She had always been trying to break through but to no avail.

Suddenly, it dawned on Mu Ling.

~Could it be that battling helps me break through bottlenecks?~

"First-class outer disciple, Mu Ling, victory." Lu Qiming announced.

" Nice. It was an exciting fight." Lin Fan clapped. This was the first time he had ever seen somebody breakthrough during a battle.

Seeing Lin Fan clap, adrenaline filled Mu Ling. She looked down at her feet, not daring to look Lin Fan in the eye. "Thank you, senior brother, for your praise."

Lin Fan nodded and turned back to the competition.

Mu Ling's heart raced. She was on cloud nine, and she felt extremely motivated.

"Congratulations, Senior sister Mu Ling on breaking through to the Earth Star Border realm. You'll be an inner disciple from today onwards."

"Yeah, that was an interesting fight. The breakthrough was unexpected."

"I could tell that Senior sister Mu was unlike others from the past. You will definitely be promoted to second or first class inner disciple in the future."

However, she felt these praises were nothing compared to Lin Fan's "Nice."

When Lin Fan said that, her heart nearly jumped out of her chest.

In his seat.

"Disciple, she likes you a lot, huh." Tian Xu laughed.

"Master, how are you able to tell?" Lin Fan suddenly felt that he didn't want to talk anymore.

"Of course. Believe in Master because I'm never wrong. I have nothing against it, but I feel that she's not good enough for you."

"Master, let's just watch the competition. I'm not interested in this." Lin Fan waved his hands.

"Hahaha." Tian Xu laughed and said nothing more.

It's not unexpected. ~My disciple is a peak leader, and he's quite handsome. It's not a big deal that they fancy him.~

~Back when I was still young, I was very popular among the sect's female disciples. But I rejected them all.~

After all, a rabbit doesn't eat the grass in its own burrow.

~How am I supposed to keep my image if I don't understand this logic?~

Very soon, night fell.

The disciples were okay with staying up all night. But they were unable to see clearly enough to fight at night.

They suddenly saw Tian Xu lift his hand and making an artificial sun in the sky.

This threw Lin Fan off his feet. ~This is sick!~

This sun might not radiate heat, but it could light up a hundred miles radius.

Even until now, Lin Fan didn't know his Master's exact cultivation. ~How powerful is he to be able to make such a sun so casually?~

The next day.

The sect was still bustling with activity.

There were both winners and losers.

But with Lin Fan's words, the disciples weren't too upset about losing. Rather than focus on the result, they enjoyed their fights.

"First class inner disciple, Yue Sheng, victory."

"The competition has officially come to an end. The results of the first five hundred outer and inner disciples are out." Lu Qiming shouted as he ran onto the stage.

"Senior brother, here are the results."

Lin Fan smiled happily and stood up, facing all the disciples. "Alright, all junior brothers and sisters put up their best."

Lu Qiming started reading off the name list.

The disciples who were called went on the stage happily.

They felt happy after the competition, which they had never once felt after a fight.

Even some disciples who feuded with each other made up after a fight during the competition.

Maybe that's why they say that s** can solve all problems. It seems that a fight can as well.

"Don't be discouraged if you aren't in the top five hundred. All of you are the future of the sect. I hope you can learn from your shortcomings this time and cultivate harder in the future."

"Definitely." The disciples echoed.

Then, Lin Fan reached towards the Invincible peak as if grabbing something. The mountain top shook, and numerous pills turned into a dragon and flew out of the peak.

Numerous pills filled the air as if a constellation. They then descended slowly into the hands of each and every disciple.

The disciples were elated.

"Thank you, Senior Brother Lin."

Lin Fan waved his hands, smiling widely. "Those who lost will also be rewarded a pill each."

"Ah?" Smiles could be seen on the faces of the disciples who lost. It might only be one pill, but who wouldn't be happy to receive a reward despite losing?

Seeing how generous his disciple was, Tian Xu was worried that his disciple would use up all the pills he had.

He even used up the pills he got from Jun Wutian.

He was impressed by his disciple.

"Remember, the Invincible peak will hold a competition yearly. I hope that my Juniors will all cultivate hard and prepare for the next competition held next year."

"I announce the end of this competition."

Lin Fan waved his hands and sat down. He turned to Tian Xu and smiled. "How was it?"

"Wastrel." Tian Xu shook his head. But he didn't have the heart to reprimand his disciple.

"I will earn more if I know how to spend. It's worth it to make the sect more united through this competition." Lin Fan laughed.
