"Huh?" Xiang Haomeng's face darkened as he turned his head with a fierce look.
In the entire field, just as the crowd was about to disperse, everyone abruptly came to a halt and turned their heads in the direction of the sound, only to see a handsome young man with a frosty expression striding forward from a distance!
"Huh? Who is this kid? Where did he pop up from?" Many students looked on with puzzled expressions, unsure of the identity of this unexpected arrival.
Chao Liang turned to look at Ling Fan, his gaze slightly focused, and subconsciously glanced at Su Qiong and the others, his eyes revealing a somewhat playful look.
"Hehe, could this kid be the so-called 'boss' they've always been raving about? Interesting!" Chao Liang mused to himself, suddenly intrigued.
After a moment of astonishment, the crowd couldn't help but come to a realization, their gazes shifting back and forth between Ling Fan and Su Qiong's group, as if understanding something!
"Boss... Boss?" Fan Zhan turned his head, mumbling dazedly.

Jiang Shi, lying on the ground, also trembled violently, struggling to lift his head, only to see a familiar and stern figure approaching, his vision blurring instantly.
He choked up: "Boss, you've finally returned..."
Qi He, with tears streaming down his face, took a deep breath, finally having waited for the youngster to return!
Wu Rao's heartbeat quickened, filled with excitement and also anxiety. The excitement was because Ling Fan had returned, the man to shoulder the heavy responsibility was back.
The anxiety stemmed from the present situation, which held not the slightest advantage for Ling Fan; it was uncertain how he would handle it!
"Ling Fan..." Su Qiong called out in a low voice, full of profound meaning, tears silently falling.
Zhou Siyu's eyes also reddened. In the past few days, she had experienced the warmth and cold of human relationships like never before, witnessing much indifference of human nature and truly feeling what the law of the jungle was.
Ling Fan arrived in the middle of the field, his gaze coldly sweeping over everyone. He saw Fan Zhan, Jiang Shi, and Qi He lying wounded on the ground, and also, Zuo Zhengqing with his faint breath.
"Ling Fan, quickly check on Zhengqing, he seems to be in bad shape!" Su Qiong urged, lips quivering.
Ling Fan had naturally noticed Zuo Zhengqing's peril and quickly went to check on him, his expression growing increasingly grim as he did so.
"Holy Princess, can he be saved?" Ling Fan squatted motionlessly on the ground, inquiring in his Divine Sense.
"He's tough to save. There are Starlight Immortal Herbs in the Cang Ling Ring; take one that's less than ten thousand years old and feed it to him!" The Holy Princess's voice came faintly to his mind.
"And then? Will he be able to make it?" Ling Fan asked further.
After a moment of silence, the Holy Princess replied, "Then, it's all up to his fate..."
Without a word, Ling Fan immediately took a Starlight Immortal Herb, under the Holy Princess's guidance, that was less than ten thousand years old and fed it to Zuo Zhengqing.
"Damn, this is their boss? I thought they were just bluffing, but turns out there really is such a person. Quite looking forward to this!" Kong Yin opened his mouth wide, speaking in a sarcastic tone.
"Hehe, this guy's timing is spot-on; has quite the appearance of a hero descending from the heavens on a rainbow cloud to save the beauty!" Tao Yang couldn't help but snicker.
"Hahaha, Brother Yang sure is humorous. This kid, descending on a cloud? Just look at him squatting there, not daring to let even a fart slip; he's probably so scared his legs have cramped up and he can't stand!" Jiang Wen immediately scoffed in laughter.
Suddenly, the new students of the Secular World burst into boisterous laughter, "Hahaha, probably his Somersault Cloud cramped up!"
Snickers and piercing mockery soon filled the surroundings as everyone looked at Ling Fan squatting on the ground, with strong disdain and sneers.
"Elder Liang, this is the new student, Ling Fan, I mentioned before. He didn't meet with an accident at Shennong Peak and has safely returned. Please let him undergo the assessment!" Qi He couldn't help but speak out loudly.
```
In his mind, as long as Ling Fan showed a performance as astonishing as Chao Liang's in the examination, he would undoubtedly catch the attention of those above and shock everyone. He was fighting for an opportunity for Ling Fan!
Liang Dang swept a disdainful glance at Qi He, turned to look at Ling Fan's figure with impatience written all over his face. He had no interest in dealing with such trash right now; his mind was completely fixated on the favored son of heaven, Chao Liang.
"Sorry, the time for the examination has passed. His spot and eligibility have been automatically cancelled. If he wants to enter the academy, he can wait for the next exam!" Liang Dang snorted coldly, too lazy to even give Ling Fan another glance.
Upon hearing this, Qi He immediately became so angry that smoke seemed to billow from his seven orifices, pointing at Liang Dang with wide eyes, "You... you..."
"You what? The academy has its own rules and regulations. Do you think you can just do whatever you want? Should I provide an examination every time someone shows up wanting to enter the academy?" Liang Dang scolded.
The onlooking crowd watched the scene, all wearing smiles that were neither smiles nor entirely happy about the disaster.
"Heh, I truly thought some amazing person had come, but not even getting a chance to perform, he was directly expelled. There has never been a more pathetic poser!" Zha You, standing beside Xiang Haomeng, couldn't help but mockingly laugh.
"By the way, what did he just say? To let go of these two girls and then he would wish me a good death?" Xiang Haomeng snorted out a cold breath from his nostrils.
"Fuck, the times have really changed, damn it. Anyone with two legs dares to talk tough and act cool!
I'm very curious. If I don't let go, aside from a good death, what kind of death would be not so good?"
After feeding Zuo Zhengqing the Immortal Herb, Ling Fan's eyes were filled with indifference, seemingly void of any emotion, as he slowly stood up from the ground.
Turning his head towards Xiang Haomeng, he said indifferently, "You'll soon get a taste of it, guaranteed to be unforgettable for life!"
"Heh, damn it, I'll make sure you're the one who won't forget it for life!" Xiang Haomeng sneered venomously.
If he lost face in front of Ling Fan today, this elite circle might as well disband; he would have no face to show in the academy anymore.
"What the fuck, what are you guys standing there stupidly for, waiting to eat shit? Are you not going to hurry up and trash those two pieces of garbage for me?" Xiang Haomeng barked coldly.
Earlier, in his irritation, Xiang Haomeng had ordered two of his underlings to cripple Fan Zhan and Jiang Shi, but just as they were about to do so, they were interrupted by Ling Fan's sudden appearance!
Now, compelled by Xiang Haomeng's cold shout, they immediately snapped back to reality, their eyes turning icy. Without another word, they made swift moves to cripple Fan Zhan and Jiang Shi's limbs!
Su Qiong was in a great panic inside, Zhou Siyu's complexion changed dramatically, Wu Rao tightened inside, Xiang Haomeng folded his arms across his chest, chuckling coldly!
Ling Fan's gaze turned icy, and in the next second, he vanished from his original spot, leaving only an afterimage as two flashes of silver shot from his hands before he stood aloof in the center of the field.
All onlookers narrowed their eyes slightly, thinking to themselves, "This guy is really fast!"
Chao Liang raised his eyebrows slightly and chuckled softly to himself, "Not bad footwork, much better than those other trash!"
"Bang~ Bang~"
In the next second, before the crowd could react, they saw two good heads roll off from their bodies onto the ground.
Then 'thud', the two underlings who were about to cripple Fan Zhan and Jiang Shi lay motionless on the ground.
"What?"
Everyone at the scene was dumbfounded. In Zhongnan Academy, one may maim, but not kill—-even Xiang Haomeng with his arrogance dared not cross this bottom line of the academy!

"This... Ling Fan is done for. There's no need for someone else to take action; the academy's Elders will personally enforce it, killing him to serve as a warning to others!" Wu Rao's face turned instantly pale.
Amid the shocked and horrified gazes of the crowd, Ling Fan stood with his hands behind his back, his face cold and determined as he declared, "Today I, Ling Beiming, vow here to spill blood across Zhongnan!"
