Chapter 272 - Going on Stage

“Damn him!”

Noticing Chen Fan's disregard, Nangong Fengyun's eyes flashed with icy killing intent.

“Hoho, don't worry, Brother Fengyun. Wait till this kid steps into the arena. I’ll meet him there and teach him the consequences of offending you,” said another youth with a cold smile.

This man was Ding Haipeng, a genius from the Tianhai County’s Ding Clan. He had gained some fame in the imperial city by winning seven consecutive matches in the battle palace; subsequently, Nangong Fengyun recruited him for the martial meet.

“Haha, good. With Brother Haipeng giving me your word, that little bastard is dead for sure!” Nangong Fengyun smiled coldly and turned his head to look to the side. He looked at Chen Fan like he was looking at a dead man walking. New n0vel chapters are published on

......

On this side, Nangong Wan'er shared some information with Chen Fan while observing the intense battles in the arena. “That's Nangong Fengyun, a standout talent among the Nangong Clan's junior members with the Star Bloodline. He recruited two individuals: Muye Xiao and Ding Haipeng, both of whom are famous in the imperial city.

“I shan’t delve into details about Nangong Fengyun. You're already somewhat familiar with the structure of our clan. The Sun Bloodline and the Star Bloodline have been suppressing my bloodline for the past eighteen years, ever since my aunt's scandal. Now, we've fallen from grace completely."

Chen Fan maintained his silence, absorbing the newfound knowledge that his mother had an older brother, who was also Nangong Wan’er’s father and a former genius of the Nangong Clan.

Presently, the Moon Bloodline faced a talent shortage, with only two representatives in the council of elders. One was from Nangong Wan’er's grandfather's generation, nearing the end of his life, and the other was Nangong Wan’er’s father, Nangong Baxiong.

It could be said that Nangong Baxiong was single-handedly carrying the entire Moon Bloodline on his shoulders. The Moon Bloodline would have collapsed long ago if it had not been for him.

Despite his efforts, the Moon Bloodline was on the brink of crisis.

Chen Fan asked casually, “Oh, don’t you blame your aunt for dragging you guys down?”

Nangong Wan’er said calmly, “I’d be lying if I said I did not blame her, but I can empathize with her reasons back then. So, I actually don’t feel that much hatred for her.”

Indeed, her tone did not carry much resentment.

“Let's not dwell on that. Instead, I'll brief you on Muye Xiao and Ding Haipeng. After all, you will probably run into them during the Bloodlines Martial Meet.”

Nangong Wan’er directed the conversation towards Muye Xiao and Ding Haipeng

“Muye Xiao is an elite disciple of the Divine Light Sect and is currently at the peak of the fourth level. He’s only a step away from advancing to the fifth level and becoming a core disciple.

“Three months ago, Muye Xiao won ten matches in the battle palace back to back and got his name on the Earth Leaderboard. That made him quite famous in the imperial city. Although his ranking is not high, being on the Earth Leaderboard proves his strength.

Chen Fan consoled her and said, “Rest assured. With me here, nothing will happen to your Moon Bloodline.”

Nangong Wan’er smiled and did not say a word. She only treated it as Chen Fan comforting her.

Although Chen Fan was at the fourth level and a sword cultivator, the other bloodlines would all target their Moon Bloodline. It was impossible to resist them all only by relying on her and Chen Fan.

Nangong Wan’er’s lukewarm reaction was within Chen Fan’s expectations. He smiled inside and said, “It’s about time for me to try things out in the fighting arena and see how many rounds I can win.”

Chu Xuan’er immediately shouted, “Big Brother Dongfan, I believe you can win ten matches in a row!”

“Then go place your bet.”

Chen Fan tousled Chu Xuan’er’s head.

“Okie.”

Chu Xuan’er went to place her bet, pulling Nangong Wan’er with her.

Meanwhile, Chen Fan walked down, signed the life and death agreement, and ascended the fighting arena step by step.

As soon as he stepped into the arena, the battle palace echoed with speculation and chatter.

“Who is this young man? He dares to come to the Earth Class Battle Palace to fight at such a young age?”

“He’s probably hoping to become famous! There are too many hot-blooded youths like him. Dozens of them die every month. It’s nothing strange.”

“I noticed him chatting up Nangong Wan’er of the Moon Bloodline and the Calm Sun Commandery Princess earlier..."

......

Meanwhile, from a higher viewing stand, Nangong Fengyun’s trio fixed their gaze on Chen Fan, sporting malevolent smiles.

“Hoho, look, Brother Fengyun, that kid stepped into the arena.”

“Hoho, Brother Haipeng, later on, you go teach him a lesson he’ll never forget.”

“No problem.” Ding Haipeng smiled coldly as if he was sure to win against Chen Fan.
