Chapter 205: Chapter 205: Chance Encounter

Chen Fan was taken aback, "Why?"

Li Chengfeng turned his back, "When you fought Elder Si, your strength must have been only at the Grandmaster Realm, right? Now, only a few months have passed, even if you have outstanding talent and broke through to the Transformation Realm, you still can’t compare with those experts who have been in the Transformation Realm for a long time."

"Even if you got a bye in the first round, your defeat afterward is foreseeable."

"And this Martial Arts tournament will also attract attention from the Capital, you’re already not recognized by the Mu Family, and if they see you making a fool of yourself here, what do you think they will think?"

Chen Fan immediately felt somewhat amused and frustrated, although Li Chengfeng meant well, he was really underestimating him.

He smiled and said, "Senior, I appreciate your kindness, but I don’t think I will fail. If I can get first place in this Martial Arts tournament, wouldn’t that make the Mu Family view me in a different light?"

Li Chengfeng furrowed his brow, turned around, and looked at Chen Fan, "Do you think the first place in the Martial Arts tournament is easy to obtain?"

Chen Fan replied indifferently, "It shouldn’t be too difficult."

Li Chengfeng snorted coldly, "Arrogant! Ignorant! Ridiculous!"

"Fine, you’re young and stubborn, and I can’t persuade you. If that’s the case, then let those Martial Arts experts teach you a lesson, but don’t regret it when the time comes!"

Chen Fan merely cupped his fists towards Li Chengfeng without saying anything else and turned to leave.

Watching Chen Fan walk away, Li Chengfeng sighed, "So unaware of his own limitations, even with outstanding talent, it will be difficult for him to achieve great things in the future!"

Chen Fan arrived at the spectator area and sat down next to Tang Wenxuan and Tang Qingwu.

On the stage, two experts had already begun their fight, and the crowd was cheering with all their might.

When Tang Wenxuan and Tang Qingwu saw Chen Fan coming over, they were both taken aback.

"Mr. Chen, you... why did you come to the spectator area?" Tang Wenxuan asked.

Chen Fan said with a smile, "I got a bye in the first round, so I probably won’t have a chance to enter the ring today."

The Martial Arts tournament was held over two days; the first round of elimination today, the half that were eliminated also needed to settle their positions.

The competition for the top eight places will take place on the second day.

Upon hearing this, Tang Qingwu said with a tinge of regret, "That’s a pity, today those Martial Arts experts won’t have the chance to witness Mr. Chen’s skills."

Tang Wenxuan, however, said, "What a pity? Those Martial Arts experts should be feeling lucky. After all, no matter who faces Mr. Chen, it’s an undoubtedly losing outcome for them!"

Tang Qingwu gave a charming smile, "That’s true indeed."

After a whole day of intense competition, the seven groups of contestants finally determined who would advance, and the remaining seven experts also had their rankings established.

Tang Yuanshan advanced easily. Sun Xiaotian and Huo Liancheng, despite losing an arm, still had their strength and managed to defeat their opponents without much danger.

Since the beginning of the first match, Chen Fan found it uninteresting, he focused on his cultivation and didn’t pay much attention to the results of the matches.

After all, no matter who advanced, it was all the same to him.

Only when the competition ended did he withdraw his focus, and along with Tang Qingwu, Tang Wenxuan, and Tang Yuanshan, he returned to the Tang Family estate.

On the way, Tang Yuanshan was mumbling something incessantly.

Tang Qingwu, curious, leaned in to listen and finally made out that Tang Yuanshan was saying, "I must not draw Chen Fan in tomorrow’s lot drawing." She couldn’t help but laugh out loud.

The following morning.

The four of them rushed to the Binhai Martial Arts Gymnasium once again.

Today, the crowd was even more excited than yesterday, as the competition was to determine the rankings of the top eight.

Chen Fan and his three companions had just arrived at the entrance of the Martial Arts Gymnasium when a surprised voice came: "Chen Fan!"

Chen Fan turned his head and saw a tall girl in jeans with a ponytail walking toward him.

A smile immediately appeared on his face, "Song Qian, what are you doing here?"

Song Qian smiled and said, "I quit my job at the bar and plan to develop in our Provincial City in the future. Before that, I’m traveling to relax. I’ve been playing around Binhai recently and heard there was a Martial Arts tournament, so I came over to watch."

At that moment, she noticed Tang Yuanshan behind Chen Fan, and her eyes widened in surprise, "Isn’t that the expert from the Tang Family?"

Chen Fan nodded, "He’s my friend."

Admiration immediately filled Song Qian’s eyes as she looked at Chen Fan, marveling at how impressive he always was, no matter where he was.

Tang Qingwu eyed Song Qian and stepped forward, asking, "Mr. Chen, who is this?"

Chen Fan replied with a smile, "This is Song Qian, my high school classmate."

He then said to Song Qian, "This is Tang Qingwu, Miss Tang."

Song Qian studied Tang Qingwu and was instantly charmed by her demeanor, subconsciously remarking, "She has such elegance."

Tang Qingwu lifted her head slightly, unsure why, but even the usually uncompetitive her found herself comparing to others in front of Chen Fan.

Tang Yuanshan interjected at the right moment, "Mr. Chen, since you’ve encountered a friend, we’ll go in first."

Chen Fan nodded.

Tang Qingwu wanted to stay, but was dragged away by Tang Wenxuan.

Song Qian felt a pang of emotion, remembering how Su Qingyan used to be the girl by Chen Fan’s side, and now it was Tang Qingwu. Each one was stunningly beautiful in their own way, making her feel somewhat inferior in comparison.

However, she had come to terms with it and cheerfully said, "Chen Fan, it’s great to run into you here, why don’t we watch the match together."

Chen Fan was about to say he was there to compete, when a guy and a girl approached them.

"Song Qian, how did you vanish in the blink of an eye? We thought we lost you," the girl said, linking arms with her.

Song Qian smiled, "I ran into an old classmate."

She then introduced to Chen Fan, "This is Wang Yun, and this is Xiao Qiang, my friends from Binhai."

Turning her head, she said, "This is Chen Fan, I’ve mentioned him to you before."

Chen Fan nodded at the two.

Wang Yun sized up Chen Fan and with a curl of her lip said, "So this is Chen Fan, huh? Looks pretty average. Doesn’t seem as impressive as you made him out to be."

Xiao Qiang gave a cold laugh, "Guys like to show off in front of girls. Sometimes they intentionally create an impressive scene to win the girls’ hearts, but in the end, everyone’s just ordinary, not that amazing. Buddy, I speak my mind, don’t take it to heart, alright?"

Chen Fan sensed hostility in the man’s tone and noticed that Xiao Qiang’s gaze toward Song Qian wasn’t quite right, seemingly covetous.

Song Qian felt awkward, "Chen Fan..."

Chen Fan just smiled, "It’s alright."

Xiao Qiang laughingly asked, "Buddy, Did you come to watch yesterday’s match? I heard your representative from Jiangbei is some greenhorn about our age. Everyone thought he’d get trashed, but he was lucky to get a bye in the first round."

"I must say, Jiangbei’s Martial Arts are really pathetic, letting such a half-baked fighter join the Martial Arts tournament."

"Have you seen that greenhorn? Is he really just filler material as the rumors say?"

Chen Fan was silent for two seconds, then said, "Uh... I’m that ’greenhorn’ you’re talking about."
