Chapter 17: Friendly advice

It was the other teams that the city had found to enter the planar crack, among them was one team who held a grudge against Boss Gao's team.

When the leader of that team saw Boss Gao's team come in with an unfamiliar face, he immediately stood up and said with a cold snort, "Oh, Gorilla Gao, you were so afraid that you found a kid to babysit you babies?"

Boss Gao saw that the one who spoke was Ao Jian.

Boss Gao's team had been in dispute with Ao Jian's team more than once over prey before, but the main reason behind their dispute was that their families were at war with each other.

Boss Gao and Ao Jian both came from noble families and were juniors that received the most training, so they had always been pitted against each other. If possible, they wished that they could kill the other person.

He just ignored Ao Jian and led Lin Fan to the counter.

"Xiao Zi, help me set up a temporary license for my friend over here. He'll be joining us for the exploration mission."

The girl at the counter turned when she heard Boss Gao call to her and when she saw Lin Fan, she hesitantly said, "Boss Gao, are you sure you don't have a grudge against him? He's just a kid and you're trying to bring him into the planar crack."

Boss Gao just laughed and said, "It's fine, it's fine, he's even stronger than me."

Of course Xiao Zi wouldn't believe this, but she had to do her job still, so she led Boss Gao's team to the testing room in the back.

Everyone from Boss Gao's team followed Lin Fan into the back since they were curious just how strong he really was. He was strong enough to make Boss Gao acknowledge him and Boss Gao was in the high Silver Realm, being at the Silver 7 Level, which meant that he should at least be in the Silver Realm.

Lin Fan didn't say anything and just followed Xiao Zi into the room. The moment he came in, he was confused to see that there was a pole in the center that was hooked up to this large machine.

Xiao Zi told Lin Fan to use all his strength to hit the pole and it would record his cultivation level.

Lin Fan went up to the pole and gathered his life energy around his fist before punching out.

As he was doing this, everyone was shocked by the colour of his life energy, which was silver with a tint of gold.

Based on their understanding of the cultivation system, this meant that Lin Fan was at the peak of the Silver Realm!

Peak of the Silver Realm, just how old was Lin Fan!

According to the registration he filled out earlier, he was only 19 years old!

Compared to them, this was a true genius.

The one most shocked was Yang Xin since just yesterday, Lin Fan's life energy was still pure silver. The fact that it had gained a tint of gold meant that Lin Fan had broken through in a single day!

While they were all shocked by Lin Fan's life energy, there was a beep from the machine on the side that signified Lin Fan's test was finished.

When Xiao Zi heard this, she turned to look at the screen and received an even bigger shock.

On the panel, written in large letters was the word "ERROR"!

She had never seen this situation before. When she thought of all the various possibilities to this, she remembered that this machine could only measure life energy up to the Legendary Realm.

When she had this thought, after her body trembled, she shook this thought out of her mind.

A 19 year old Legendary Expert?!

That would have even surpassed the cultivation speed of the cultivation legend Mo Tian Ji!

In the end, Xiao Zi made a decision, "Mister Lin, our machines seem to be malfunctioning right now and couldn't make a proper judgement, but based on your life energy, I should say that you're in the Silver 9 Level, so how about I record that for you?"

Lin Fan didn't really mind since that's what he felt he was at anyway, so he just gave a nod to her.

But little did they all know that Lin Fan's body was actually on par with an expert in the Legendary Realm since he condensed that first sun in his dantian.

The machine hadn't made a mistake, Lin Fan's full force attack was indeed on par with the attack of a Legendary Realm Expert!

After the test, Xiao Zi was much more respectful towards Lin Fan since seeing his abilities.

Lin Fan was confused about what privileges a temporary seeker license gave, so Xiao Zi patiently explained on the way back, "A temporary seeker license grants you access to the various exchange sites that our Seeker Guild offers, but of course you won't receive the special discount that normal seekers receive. But since you have qualified for a temporary seeker license, you can easily apply to formalize it and that will grant you many of the services available to registered seekers. It really does make things much more convenient."

Lin Fan was someone at the peak of the Silver Realm, if she could reel him into the Seeker Guild, she would definitely receive a large bonus.

Lin Fan just replied with an "oh".

Being a seeker did give plenty of rewards, but he earned them by risking his life. It was much better to follow the system and properly manage his pet shop!

But Lin Fan was tempted by the exchange sites that Xiao Zi had mentioned, so he asked, "Now that I've gotten my temporary seeker license, how do I access the exchange sites?"

Xiao Zi explained, "You can just access our site and input your temporary license once you receive it."

Lin Fan replied with the same "oh".

They came back to the front and Xiao Zi quickly typed in Lin Fan's information, registering his temporary license.

Once that was done, Boss Gao led his group out to get some supplies from the base's warehouse.

As they were heading to the door and passing by Ao Jian's table, he suddenly stood up and bumped into Boss Gao, spilling the drink in his hand all over him.

Ao Jian just revealed a cold smile as he said, "Oh, I'm sorry, you were so short that I must have missed you, Gorilla Gao."

Boss Gao had been completely drenched from head to toe with wine and judging by the vein popping out on his forehead, he was about to lose his temper.

"You…" Boss Gao was about to lose it, but Lin Fan had stepped forward to stop him.

"Friend, you should really be careful of how you act. Sometimes you might make an enemy you might not be able to afford to offend." Lin Fan came forward and revealed his usual smile when he said this.

Ao Jian was surprised to see this kid come out of nowhere and talk to him like this, but that smile of his really was off putting.

After being surprised by that smile, Ao Jian wanted to come forward to punch this kid down, but there was an overwhelming pressure that came over him.

It was like at that moment, he was facing the aura of death and his legs crumbled under him.

He tried to speak but all that came out was a few stuttering sounds.

Lin Fan just came forward to help him like he was being friendly before saying, "Look, Boss Gao, it really was an accident. He can't even seem to stand on his own two feet."

The reason why Ao Jian had suddenly fallen was naturally because of Lin Fan.

His cultivation technique was very special, so there were many things that he could do that others couldn't.

One of these things included the ability to freely manipulate his aura, which he used to completely crush down on Ao Jian alone, suppressing him to this extent.

The moment Lin Fan tried to help Ao Jian up, he seemed to have regained his composure as he slapped Lin Fan's hand away, but all that did was make his hand numb like he had just hit a steel block.

Holding his hand, Ao Jian looked at Lin Fan with a venomous look before coldly saying, "I'll remember you." Then he walked away with his group.

Once they were gone, Boss Gao apologized to Lin Fan, "Brother Lin, I'm sorry about that. If it wasn't for me, you wouldn't have offended Ao Jian."

Lin Fan just casually waved his hand, "It's fine, it's fine, we were destined to become enemies anyway."

Boss Gao was confused by this, "What do you mean?"

Lin Fan's eyes turned cold as he said, "I know his type, he's someone who won't leave any loose ends, so it was destined that we would become enemies once your team invited me."

Boss Gao was even more confused by this, he didn't understand the meaning hidden in Lin Fan's words at all.

But Lin Fan knew exactly how the minds of people like Ao Jian worked.

That was because he used to be exactly like him back on earth!
