/ The Extreme Alchemist of the Mighty Cauldron Chapter 995 – Chapter 995 Chapter 994 The One
Chapter 995: Chapter 994: The One-Armed Man Chapter 995: Chapter 994: The One-Armed Man “You did quite well.” Fang Lin returned to the Pill Alliance branch, and Dugu Nian patted Fang Lin's shoulder with an air of a superior senior, speaking to him.
Fang Lin chuckled, grabbed Dugu Nian's smooth black hair, and said, “You'd better not lose too badly later, otherwise you'll not only embarrass me but also Master Ye.”
Dugu Nian pushed Fang Lin's hand away, dissatisfied, “Although my realm is lower than yours, my strength may not be much worse.”
Fang Lin nodded repeatedly, “Right, right, you are absolutely correct.”
Dugu Nian glared at Fang Lin fiercely, choosing not to engage with this infuriating fellow.
“Master Fang, congratulations on your initial victory.”
“Master Fang truly possesses extraordinary strength, congratulations.”
“We offer our congratulations to Master Fang for a successful start.”
Many people from the Pill Alliance branch approached, offering congratulations to Fang Lin, and even the person in charge, an elderly woman, gave him a bow.
Fang Lin was not averse to it and exchanged pleasantries with everyone, appearing in good spirits.
“It was just one win; you'd think you were heading straight to the Qin Capital already.” Suddenly, a discordant voice rang out.
Fang Lin and the others turned to look, the speaker was a young man dressed in brocade robes with a longsword at his waist, looking proud and distinguished.
Fang Lin and Dugu Nian vaguely remembered this person from the City Lord Mansion feast the other night, seeming to recall he was one of the five hundred talents and had attended the banquet.
But that was the extent of their memory; they had no idea who this upstart was.
“Who are you, exactly?” Dugu Nian asked the man, quite rudely.
The brocade-robed young man snorted lightly, looking at Fang Lin and Dugu Nian with a look of disdain, “My identity is not something you're qualified to know. I just can't stand to see you so pleased with yourselves over a single victory.”
Immediately, Dugu Nian retorted, “What's it to you? What kind of thing are you to jump out and make a fuss?”
The brocade-robed young man ignored Dugu Nian, still looking rather arrogant.
The elderly woman whispered to Fang Lin and Dugu Nian, “I know him; he's the eldest son of the Wanyuan Chamber of Commerce from Tang Country, Lu Shuihan. He comes from a wealthy and influential family and always thinks too highly of himself.”
“Oh? A rich man's son? No wonder he's dressed like that.” Fang Lin remarked with a smile, upon hearing this.
Fang Lin was aware of the Wanyuan Chamber of Commerce, the leading merchant group in Tang Country, wealth enough to rival entire nations.
However, the Wanyuan Chamber of Commerce was, after all, just a commercial entity, incomparable to those major clans and powerful forces.
Even with all their wealth, in the face of absolute power and strength, it was no different from dirt.
“Mr. Lu, you'd best hope I don't come across you later, or else I'll beat you so bad you won't be able to get back up!” Dugu Nian said fiercely to Lu Shuihan.
Lu Shuihan looked at them with disdain and said, “If you run into me, that'll be your greatest misfortune.”
After speaking, Lu Shuihan left with a few servants, seemingly unwilling to waste any more words with Fang Lin and the others.
“So annoying, some pest just came out of nowhere.” Dugu Nian complained unhappily.
Fang Lin, however, didn't seem to care, laughing, “It's fine, if we really run into him later, we'll just give him a beating.”
The elderly woman added, “This Lu Shuihan is not weak. He's quite a famous talent in Tang Country. Although he has not entered the Spirit Bone realm, he's skilled in all kinds of martial arts, and embodies the strengths of various schools.”
Fang Lin waved his hand dismissively, “The head of a hundred families? That sounds pleasant, but in reality, it means lacking uniqueness, jack of all trades but master of none.”
The old woman gave an awkward smile, “Master Fang speaks the truth.”
The contest of Talents continued, and after several consecutive matches had passed, another noteworthy Talent finally appeared.
The one-armed man Shen Fan!
If one were to talk about the most controversial among the five hundred Talents of Sea Moon City, it would be none other than this one-armed man, Shen Fan.
Despite his physical disability, he possessed incredibly formidable strength, which was a contradiction in itself and forced people to pay him extra attention.
Shen Fan hailed from the Ling Country of the Middle Three Kingdoms, and his family could only be regarded as a second-rate power even within the realms of Ling Country, much lesser when considered against the entirety of the Nine Countries.
Yet, this one-armed man, Shen Fan, had shocked and surprised everyone since the beginning of the Talent combat competition, never having lost a single match. In the second phase, he even defeated several Talents from the Upper Three Countries.
Even many major forces from the Upper Three Countries were paying attention to him, considering him a Talent worth cultivating.
As Shen Fan appeared, his expression was cold and indifferent. His empty sleeve fluttered in the wind while the chilling light within the sheathed longsword behind him remained restrained, unsheathed.
Remarkably, Shen Fan's opponent was also formidable, a female disciple from the Mystic Sect of Qing Nation, whose cultivation had just stepped into the realm of the Spirit Bone.
“This match will be worth watching!”
“The one I've been looking forward most is finally Shen Fan's appearance.”
“It's said his swordsmanship is extremely profound, I wonder how he compares to Jian Qingshan.”
“That's hard to say, after all, Shen Fan wields his sword with his left hand.”
“Alas, if he had both arms intact, his strength would probably be even greater.”
“That's not necessarily true, maybe it is because he lost an arm that he has such strength.”
“Regardless, I have high hopes for him; even in the Qin Capital, he would likely shine brightly.”
*****
Shen Fan's opponent was a woman whose appearance wasn't outstanding, but the aura of her Spirit Bone realm clearly indicated she was no pushover.
However, the woman was under a lot of pressure at this moment. There was no other reason except for the fact that she faced a formidable adversary like Shen Fan, and it was definitely impossible for her not to feel anxious.
But even when faced with Shen Fan, she intended to fight with all her might. Given that her own cultivation was not low, if she went all out and employed her trump cards, perhaps she would have a sliver of chance to win.
At this moment, the competition on the other four array platforms had already begun, but it was still the platform where Shen Fan stood that captivated most people's attention. At least half of Sea Moon City's population was watching Shen Fan, eager to see the amazing strength he would display.
The Mystic Sect's woman unsheathed her sword, the blade surging with a lustrous brilliance, a clear sign that the sword in her hand was no ordinary item.
“The sword of this woman has Phoenix Blood Stone from our Fengxia Mountain mixed into it,” Meng Haiwen mentioned, but only the Lord of Sea Moon City recollected the fact. Ye Mengxian and the others didn't show much reaction.
From the Pill Alliance's branch, Fang Lin watched Shen Fan on that platform from afar, a hint of surprise in his eyes.
“This guy, he's quite impressive,” Fang Lin murmured to himself.
On the platform, Shen Fan made no move, seemingly in no rush to take the initiative.
The woman, although holding her sword, also didn't dare make any rash moves, steadied her breath, focusing all her attention on Shen Fan.
Shen Fan remained still, but the pressure he exerted on the woman was incessantly multiplying. In just a few short moments, the woman's body became heavy, and a fine layer of sweat beaded on her forehead.
