Since the round was over, Lin Fan and Luo Qing went off the stage to head to the contestant waiting room.

Lin Fan wanted to have a little talk with Wang Ning, but it was a good thing she was smart and had already escaped into the crowd sitting in the stands. Lin Fan couldn't find her no matter how hard he tried, so he had no choice but to give up.

Luo Qing however was enjoying every part of this experience, even though she knew that it was wrong lying to Lin Fan like this. She had slowly come to terms with her feelings, but it was too bad a blockhead like Lin Fan would never understand.

They only spent a few minutes in the waiting room before being called out to the arena once again.

Lin Fan and Luo Qing were prepared for another easy fight, but this time their opponents came as a surprise.

After they had been introduced, their opponents were actually Murong Quan and a girl that seemed to be in her twenties.

Murong Quan was shocked to see Luo Qing in this tournament since this was a couples tournament after all! But he was even more shocked to see that Lin Fan was here with her!

Murong Quan looked betrayed as he said, "Owner Lin, how could you do this to me?"

Murong Quan was considered a regular in Lin Fan's store and with how much he stuck to Lin Fan, eventually Lin Fan accepted him as a little brother, so Lin Fan was currently feeling a bit guilty.

Lin Fan tried to explain, "Xiao Quan, this isn't what it looks like, if you just let me explain…"

But before Lin Fan could finish, the host had already started the match.

Murong Quan was too angry to hear Lin Fan's words, so he summoned out his Flame Hound and charged out with the Flame Hound to attack Lin Fan.

The Flame Hound had a look of fear when it saw Lin Fan, but it quickly got over that fear since it was much stronger compared to before with all of Lin Fan's training. The increase in its power had gone to its head and now it thought that it could beat anyone!

But Luo Qing moved in front of Lin Fan and summoned out the Song Bird.

The Song Bird had received much more training compared to Murong Quan's Flame Hound, so naturally it was much stronger. The Flame Hound was only comparable to the Intermediate Bronze Realm, while the Song Bird was comparable to the Peak Bronze Realm!

The Song Bird flapped its wings and created gusts of wind that blew Murong Quan and the Flame Hound away. They tried to fight against it, but eventually they collapsed on the other side of the arena after spending all their power.

Then Luo Qing turned her attention to the other opponent, but she found that she was already gone.

While she was looking for the other girl, there was a cough that came behind her.

When she turned, she felt a finger tap on her forehead and everything turned to black in front of her.

Her Song Bird couldn't even do a single thing since it was also knocked out with a single tap of the finger.

The last thing she saw was a wisp of silver life energy.

The young woman smiled as she said, "Ho, ho, this Song Bird is in the Peak Bronze Realm, this young lady really is a rare talent. It's no wonder Quan Quan likes her so much."

Then she turned to Lin Fan and said, "Now, you really shouldn't get in the way of Quan Quan and his crush, it's quite rude. Especially since you're just playing with her."

Lin Fan knit his brows when he heard this and he said, "Playing with her? What do you mean?"

The young woman was taken aback, "Are you pretending or are you really that dense? Well either way, it's good for Quan Quan."

Then with a flicker, she appeared in front of Lin Fan, "Either way, big sister will take care of everything for Quan Quan."

As she was about to tap Lin Fan on the forehead with the same move she used against Luo Qing and her Song Bird, Lin Fan suddenly flicked her finger away, causing her to reveal a look of shock.

"You…" She tried to say, but she didn't get a chance at all.

Before she could even react, Lin Fan had tapped her on the forehead, knocking her out with the same method she had used earlier.

Once that young woman had fallen down, the crowd fell into silence. They couldn't believe what had just happened, this pretty boy had actually knocked out the young woman who had knocked out the Ice Queen!

No matter what, they wouldn't believe that this pretty boy that had tricked their goddess was actually an expert!

"He must have cheated! Host, disqualify them immediately!"

"He tricked our goddess and now he's using his tricks on other women, despicable!"

Of course there were still a few quiet voices that supported Lin Fan.

"He didn't seem like he cheated, it seemed like he won that fair and square."

But they were immediately drowned out by the waves of negativity.

"Pei, pei, what are you saying? He clearly cheated! Do you really think a pretty boy like him could knock out a Silver Realm Expert with a single poke?"

,m The host also felt conflicted over this and didn't know what to say, but soon there was a voice that came over his earpiece that cleared up everything.

The host shouted, "The judges have ruled that the Lin Fan and Luo Qing team have won fair and square and will move on to the next round!"

But all that answered him were waves of jeers and booing from the crowd since they still couldn't accept this.

Since the match was over, the medics came up and woke everyone that had been knocked out.

Murong Quan was still glaring at Lin Fan and Luo Qing, but he didn't have any strength to do anything about it.

Now that Murong Quan had no power to fight back, Lin Fan finally had a chance to explain things to him.

After listening to their explanation, Murong Quan was still a bit angry, but he reluctantly chose to forgive them.

But he also swore that he would find Wang Ning after this and give her an earful.

He didn't forget to add, "Qing Qing, if you needed a partner, why didn't you come to me?"

But all he received in return was a cold snort from Luo Qing.

As for the young woman who was with Murong Quan, he introduced her as his big sister, Murong Ling.

Murong Ling just waited for them to finish before coming over to Lin Fan with a seductive smile, "Little brother, you're the first one to give big sister an experience like this, you've really caught my attention. How about you and I have some fun together some time."

But Luo Qing came in front of her and stopped her from moving any closer towards Lin Fan.

It was her womanly instinct that Murong Ling was dangerous.

Murong Ling just smiled and hugged Luo Qing, "You really are a cute girl, I really want to eat you up."

Her instinct was right, Murong Ling really was dangerous.

…

In the judge's room, there were currently three old men with white beards who were staring at the stage.

They were looking at no one else other than Lin Fan.

One of the old men stroked his beard and said, "So young and so talented, he was able to reach the Gold Realm at such a young age."

Another of the old men said, "How about you give him to me? You could all tell that he specializes in training physique, so he's perfect for me."

But the third old man said, "Don't try to play that trick with us, you could clearly see how fine his control of his life energy is. He created a perfect pin prick with his life energy to poke that Murong girl in the head to knock her out. That kind of life energy control can only be found once in a hundred years! He's perfect for me!"

But then the first old man raised an important point, "Still, who is he? Is he even a student of our school?"

The other two old men also fell into thought before calling someone to investigate Lin Fan.

Then they went back to arguing like little kids over who would take him as a disciple.
