Chapter 3: Sharpness

Secret Spirit Street is located in the northeast corner of Tianyuan Academy. It is a stone street with stone houses on both sides, ancient and weathered.

Lu Fan just took one look and realized the extraordinary nature of Secret Spirit Street.

The restrictions there were strict, and the entire sky above Secret Spirit Street was shrouded in a cold aura.

If anyone dared to run wild here, they probably wouldn't even know how they died.

There were some residual thoughts in his mind, but they were hazy, as if they were just hearsay. Clearly, the "famous" Martial Dao waste of the academy had no means to contact this place in the past.

Lu Fan had no clues, so he found a pharmacy at the entrance of the canyon and walked in boldly.

This pharmacy was very spacious, the entire hall was square, twenty or thirty zhang long, with wall cabinets and long tables on three sides. Many academy students were already trading here.

"Hello, Senior. I wonder if you are here to buy medicine or sell it?"

A youth in gray clothes walked over, bowing slightly. He looked very experienced, clearly not the first time doing this.

Lu Fan's gaze narrowed slightly, and he saw a book-and-sword mark on the other's chest, which was the mark of Tianyuan Academy.

He immediately understood that the other party was also a student of Tianyuan Academy, working here to subsidize his cultivation!

"I have a body-tempering prescription here. Help me get some herbs!"

Lu Fan nodded and took out a yellowed note, handing it over.

The youth didn't dare to be slow. Just as he was about to take the note, a hand reached out and snatched it away.

Lu Fan was slightly stunned, his gaze immediately turned to the person, and his expression changed.

This person was a youth of eighteen or nineteen, with a very ordinary face, but the vicious aura filling his brows was particularly obvious. It was Kang Jun, the person who had attacked "Lu Fan" to his death.

That day, "Lu Fan" listened to Wang Wu's words and went to the Brave Rock Society, where he was beaten to death.

The person who attacked was this vicious youth, and as for the person behind the scenes, it was Liu Yang, the vice president of the Rock Society.

"Body-tempering prescription? Sounds very powerful. You dare to call yourself a Senior? You were beaten half to death by me yesterday. This should be a prescription for treating bruises, right?"

Kang Jun spoke in a weird tone. While speaking, he held up the yellowed note, as if he wanted to study it against the light outside the room.

When he said this, several companions in bright clothes laughed out loud, mocking him one by one.

"Lu Fan, you're lucky you didn't die yesterday! You're still shamelessly staying at our Tianyuan Academy. You're really shameless."

"Where did you find this broken piece of paper? Body-tempering prescription? You must have lost your mind, kid!"

Kang Jun's eyes were gloomy, his threats and sarcasm naked, without any restraint. He even deliberately increased his strength, clearly wanting to attract the attention of the entire Spirit Medicine Pavilion.

Lu Fan's face turned cold immediately. This Kang Jun was purely looking for death. The death of "Lu Fan" had something to do with this person.

He had originally planned to find a time to seek justice in the future, but he didn't expect this guy to be so arrogant, publicly insulting him in front of everyone.

He was no longer the waste he used to be; how could he swallow this breath?

He snorted coldly, his whole body's strength condensing, preparing to take the other party down. He didn't expect Kang Jun to have sharp eyes and strike first.

"Hmph! You don't know what's good for you. I spared your life yesterday, today I'll let you die without a burial place!"

As soon as Kang Jun finished speaking, his body leaped up and pounced toward Lu Fan. In the air, strong winds rose, and the strength of the early Gathering Essence Realm erupted.

"Senior Kang is getting more and more powerful. Promotion to the mid-stage of the Gathering Essence Realm is just around the corner!"

"Yes! Yes! Following Senior Kang, we also have face!"

The people Kang Jun brought laughed out loud, but not a single word fell on Lu Fan.

In their hearts, Lu Fan was just air, dispensable, and useless to discuss, except for mocking him a few times.

The other onlookers were also excited, being able to see a Gathering Essence Realm Martial Warrior strike, maybe they would have other gains if they understood it later.

"Hmph! Noisy!"

Lu Fan's eyes turned cold, and he didn't avoid it at all. He kicked his legs, leaped from bottom to top, and shouted, "Blazing Flame Bombardment!"

A pair of fists smashed out, and for no reason, surging flames appeared, smashing into Kang Jun's chest.

"Bang!"

Kang Jun couldn't resist at all, his whole body receiving such great force, retreating with a crash.

He stumbled, his chest was charred, and there was even a faint smell of burnt meat.

Then he fell onto the long table by the wall, knocking the herbs on it into a mess.

"Mid-stage of the Gathering Essence Realm? How is it possible..."

Kang Jun's face was terrified, looking as if he had seen a ghost, his eyes filled with fear. However, before he could finish speaking, Lu Fan had already leaped over again.

Flame fist shadows immediately bombarded him, smashing Kang Jun into the counter, sparks splashing, and even burning many herbs to ashes.

Everyone around widened their eyes, all in disbelief. Wasn't Lu Fan a famous waste? He was actually beating Kang Jun, who was in the early Gathering Essence Realm. How could this be?

Lu Fan fought for a while, his anger mostly dissipated. Kang Jun was just a small fry, and Liu Yang was the culprit.

If he killed him now, he might alert the enemy, and even attract the teachers of Tianyuan Academy. With his current cultivation, it was too much, and there might be a big disaster.

"Bang!" Another punch hit Kang Jun's face, breaking half of his teeth.

He coldly threw out a sentence, "Kang Jun, I'll spare your life today. If I run into you again, your life won't be guaranteed!"

As soon as he finished speaking, he patted his sleeves, picked up the body-tempering prescription, and handed it to the gray-clad servant again.

The youth looked at it tremblingly, his brows furrowed. He didn't recognize most of the herbs and couldn't gather them at all.

Lu Fan had no choice but to wave his hand and leave. ===== CHAPTER 4 =====
