When Xiao Feng landed in front of the fountain, Lin Fan and Mo Ze Chen jumped off his back right away to land in front of the fountain.
However, when they looked at the fountain, they found that nothing had changed with it. Well, it wasn't that nothing at all had changed. The water inside the fountain was now glowing golden, but other than that, there was nothing else special.
Even the map that had been at the fountain had disappeared.
Lin Fan looked around the fountain and found that there was nothing else there at all. Even when he used his spiritual sense, he couldn't find any special energy fluctuations that drew his attention.
To put it simply, this was just a normal fountain.
Could it be that all of this had been a trap and there was nothing here?
No, Lin Fan wouldn't believe that it was all for nothing since he had seen quite a few things during his trip to the four locations.
However, Lin Fan wasn't given the time to think this over as the other groups started arriving.
They weren't able to keep up to Xiao Feng and Lin Fan had pushed past them, so they arrived later, but that didn't mean that they were slower than each other. The moment that one group arrived, the rest of the groups had all arrived.
All of them were looking at each other with vigilant gazes and no one paid any attention to Lin Fan.
That was until they all suddenly remembered him.
They could feel that he wasn't stronger than them, rather he was only in the Fragmented Soul Realm, which was the cultivation that Lin Fan purposefully released to appear weaker than he actually was.
All of them were either in the mid Embryo Soul Realm or the high Embryo Soul Realm, only a few of them were in the peak Embryo Soul Realm, so a Fragmented Soul Realm Expert wasn't worth anything here. For them the only ones that they had to worry about was each other.

Most of them had seen each other when they came into the tree since all of them had taken entrances close to each other, but not a single one of them had seen Lin Fan and Mo Ze Chen before. After all, Lin Fan was quite easy to remember because of how handsome he was, even some of the male experts among these people were considering taking Lin Fan back with them…
Finally, one person came forward to where Lin Fan was standing and said, "Hey, what do you know about this place?"
Lin Fan hadn't been focused on these people since he knew that there was nothing special about them, instead he had been trying to figure out the secret of the fountain, so he didn't hear this person who shouted at him.
Seeing that Lin Fan completely ignored him, this young master was filled with rage from shame.
In front of all these other young masters, this weakling dared to ignore him?
This was simply a slap to his face.
He was someone who everyone had looked up to and treated with respect, even these fellow young masters didn't dare disrespect him like this. After all, they all knew the backing that they all had and no one would dare offend each other for no reason, that is unless they had a life or death grudge or their two factions were at war.
For this arrogant young master, to be treated the way that Lin Fan was treating him, he definitely wasn't going to take this sitting down.
He immediately came forward and grabbed Lin Fan by the shoulder, intending to pull him around to face him, but he revealed a look of shock the moment he tried pulling.
It was like trying to pull at a block of steel, he couldn't move Lin Fan at all.
No matter how hard he tried to pull on Lin Fan, Lin Fan's body was like it was bolted to the ground as it didn't move a single inch.
At first, Lin Fan didn't even notice what was happening since he was focused on searching the fountain with his spiritual sense, but eventually he noticed since there was a slight force that came from his shoulder that pulled him out of his thoughts.
Lin Fan didn't know what it was, so he turned to see where that force was coming from. Just with that slight force, he was able to send that young master who was pulling on his shoulder flying.
It was a combination of both the force of the young master pulling and the force of Lin Fan suddenly turning which had done it.
The young master was caught off guard since he felt the immovable force disappear and since he had been using too much strength, he had sent himself flying. Then with the force of Lin Fan turning added to this, it was too much for him to stop, so he couldn't stop himself.
As Lin Fan turned, the young master was picked off his feet and thrown right through the crowd of young masters behind him. He continued flying forth with a force that was hard for him to stop until he slammed into one of the buildings in the distance.
It was a good thing that this building was covered in the laws of time, so it was strong enough to stop him from flying any further, but at the same time, that was also a bad thing. Because of how firm it was, it reflected the force that he had hit the wall at right back into his body, causing serious internal injuries.
The only reason the young master was able to stay conscious was because of his strong will, but he fell down onto one knee and clutched his chest as he looked at Lin Fan with a bit of fear in his eyes. The young master couldn't help saying in a trembling voice as he looked at Lin Fan, "Who are you?"
After saying these words that seemed to take all his strength, he collapsed onto the ground and fainted.
Everyone was stunned when they saw this.
Just who was this person that none of them had recognized?
He was so strong that he had sent someone flying with just a single turn?
What kind of monster would he be if that were true?
Many of them didn't want to believe this, but the facts had been placed right in front of their faces and it was hard for them to deny it.
It seemed like this person who they thought was a nobody was not actually someone that they could offend easily. This was made clear by the one person who had taken the risk to test this person out for them.
But when they thought about it, they couldn't help realizing that this was the truth. After all, how had he been in this place if he wasn't special?
Perhaps it was better to get on this person's good side and work with them as equals.
Follow on Novᴇl-Onlinᴇ.cᴏmAs many of these young masters were pondering this, there was one person who had a smile on his face as he approached Lin Fan.
This person was Wang Jian.
The way that he approached Lin Fan wasn't hostile, but it also definitely wasn't peaceful since he was covered in battle intent. It was clear that he wanted to fight Lin Fan, but the way he showed his intent to fight didn't have any ill will towards Lin Fan.
To put it simply, he wanted nothing more than to challenge Lin Fan to prove his own might.
He could tell from the force that the young master had been sent flying that Lin Fan was definitely strong, perhaps even stronger than him.
While he didn't want to acknowledge that anyone was stronger than him, he had no choice in this matter. However, all that did was make the desire to challenge Lin Fan dwelling inside of him even stronger.
For Wang Jian, the only thing that mattered to him was becoming stronger and a strong opponent would definitely be the push that he needed to become stronger. He didn't even care about these ruins, he didn't care about the exam, all he cared about was strength.
The other young masters around naturally recognized Wang Jian since he was famous for being a battle junkie. Many of them had even received challenges from him and had suffered at his hands before.
He fully deserved his title as the strongest member of the Decagram.
But since they knew that he was a battle junkie, they knew that this was a chance for them.
After all, with the strength that Lin Fan had shown, Wang Jian wouldn't be able to control his desire to fight and would challenge Lin Fan.
They all wanted to dig deeper to expose Lin Fan's identity since he was just too much of a mystery, but none of them wanted to volunteer for that job after seeing what happened to that first young master.
Since this battle freak Wang Jian was willing to test the waters for them, there was no reason for them to stop him.
However, they couldn't help wondering if this battle freak Wang Jian would even be able to beat this mysterious person…
If he couldn't, what chance would they stand against him?
