Chapter 262 Selection
Lin Fan had no choice but to agree.
Afterwards, Park In-meng prepared to take Lin Fan to select the remaining nine people to participate in the competition.
As soon as I stepped out of the council chamber, I saw a group of busybodies gathered outside.
Everyone craned their necks, eager to know what Park In-meng and Lin Fan were talking about.
This group of people remembered Lin Fan and had participated in his initiation ceremony.
However, a newcomer who had just joined the sect a few days ago at the third stage of Body Refinement got involved with the sect leader.
This inevitably arouses some curiosity.
Park In-moon surveyed the crowd with an authoritative expression: "What are you all doing?"
"Sect Master..." The crowd was extremely embarrassed and quickly dispersed, making way for him.
Park In-meng led Lin Fan and his wife to the main hall and then summoned all the disciples of the Huayun Sect.
The hall was packed with people; all 50-plus disciples of the Huayun Sect were present.
Several elders also came to the main hall, waiting for Park In-meng to announce the matter.
Everyone knew that tomorrow was the day of the sect competition in Shancheng City, and they were all very excited.
The top 10 martial artists are eager to try their skills and show off their abilities in the competition.
"Please choose someone!" Park In-meng gestured to Lin Fan.
As soon as the word "please" was uttered, everyone looked up curiously.
When they saw Lin Fan, many of the disciples were astonished.
It's far too hasty for Lin Fan to select the participants in the sect competition.
However, since it was Park In-moon's decision, there must be a reason for it, and no one could say much more.
Huang Yuanbai and Mu Ying exchanged a smile, it seemed that Park In-meng was also aware of Lin Fan's strength.
Ren Siyao was a little curious. She hadn't seen Lin Fan for a few days, and he had actually become familiar with the sect leader.
Lin Fan stepped forward, activated his Heavenly Eye to observe everyone, and after scanning the crowd, he sighed.
The skills of this group are all subpar; they're ridiculously bad.
Lin Fan glanced at Park In-meng again and shook his head helplessly. Even the sect leader was only slightly stronger than them.
However, since it was a competition in the real world, Lin Fan didn't insist too much and could only choose the best among the worst.
"You, you, and you," Lin Fan said, pointing at several people.
The selected individuals had mixed feelings; they were all among the top seven experts in the Huayun Sect.
But being told what to do by Lin Fan, a newcomer, inevitably made him a little annoyed.
"You two should join too," Lin Fan frowned, pointing to Huang Yuanbai and Mu Ying.
Huang Yuanbai and Mu Ying were stunned for a moment, then both pointed to themselves and said in unison, "Me?"
Lin Fan said, "That's right, you'll participate too."
Lin Fan paused for a moment and asked, "By the way, are you two elders? Is there a rule that elders can't participate in the competition?"
Huang Yuanbo smiled awkwardly: "There's no such rule."
Lin Fan nodded: "That's fine, you can participate too."
In no time, Lin Fan selected ten people, including himself.
Aside from Lin Fan, the strongest is Huang Yuanbai, who has reached the 9th stage of Body Refinement, while the weakest is Sun Tianqiang, who has reached the 7th stage of Body Refinement.
To be honest, after Lin Fan was 'forced' to participate by Su Ruowei, it didn't matter who the other nine people were anymore; they were just there to make up the numbers.
They also need to take the lead and eliminate as many as they can, so as not to draw too much attention to Lin Fan.
After the selection was completed and the meeting was about to adjourn, several disciples couldn't contain themselves any longer.
Three of them looked extremely embarrassed; they were originally ranked 8th to 10th in strength within the Huayun Sect.
If Lin Fan hadn't interfered, these three would definitely have participated in the competition.
If you participate in the competition, even if you don't become famous, you can at least come into the public eye.
Most people use the sect competition as a way to promote themselves and make it easier to find a high-paying job later.
Now, things have gotten really bad. Lin Fan, Huang Yuanbai, and Mu Ying have taken up three spots, squeezing them out.
"Sect Master! I am not convinced. What is the basis for this selection?" Li Hu, the disciple ranked 8th, stepped forward.
"I don't accept it either!"
"Sect Leader, please give us an explanation!"
The 9th and 10th disciples echoed this sentiment.
Lin Fan, who was about to leave, turned back to look when he heard someone object.
The first to speak was a blond man wearing a short-sleeved T-shirt. He had a strong and powerful appearance, and his arms were almost as thick as Lin Fan's thighs.
Park In-meng also turned around and said calmly, "We can discuss your opinions privately later!"
Li Hu murmured, then mustered his courage and said, "Sect Master! I want to have a match with Lin Fan! If I win, I'll take his place in the competition; if I lose, I'll have no complaints!"
Li Hu would like to take advantage of the large number of people present to make his demands. He wouldn't dare to confront Park In-meng directly if they were to discuss things privately after the meeting.
Park In-meng sighed helplessly and looked cautiously at Lin Fan: "This?"
Lin Fan smiled at Li Hu and said, "Okay."
Lin Fan also planned to take this opportunity to establish his authority and win over the Hua Yun Sect members with a few moves.
A few minutes later, everyone gathered in the courtyard of Tingyun Manor to watch the competition between Lin Fan and Li Hu.
Lin Fan and Li Hu stood facing each other, about 5 meters apart.
After Park In-meng gave the order, Lee Ho was the first to attack.
Li Hu then concentrated all his strength into his left foot and slammed it off the ground.
With a bang, Li Hu was launched into the air.
In the instant he approached Lin Fan, Li Hu released the force from his left foot and concentrated all his strength in his right fist, swinging it towards Lin Fan.
Peng!
Lin Fan raised his hand and used his forearm to block Li Hu's attack.
Li Hu frowned, quickly took a step back, and adjusted his breathing to observe Lin Fan.
After his all-out attack was blocked, Li Hu dared not let his guard down any longer and prepared to observe Lin Fan's movements to find an opening.
But Lin Fan didn't move at all, just stood there waiting for Li Hu to attack a second time.
After a tense standoff lasting several seconds, Li Hu began to get impatient.
Suddenly, Li Hu took a step forward and tentatively threw a punch at Lin Fan. Before the wind of the punch even arrived, Li Hu withdrew his fist.
The onlookers watched with bated breath.
Lin Fan didn't react at all just now, it's unclear whether he was frightened or anticipated Li Hu's scheme.
Lin Fan remained unmoved, watching Li Hu perform.
At this moment, sweat was beading on Li Hu's forehead, and a hint of retreat was beginning to creep into his mind.
"What do you mean!" Li Hu gasped for breath, gritted his teeth, and threw more than a dozen punches at Lin Fan.
He probed with his fists, but withdrew them at the most crucial moment.
"call--"
Li Hu breathed a sigh of relief: "Playing mind games with me? Are you trying to confuse me?"
Lin Fan remained silent, as immovable as a mountain.
"Alright! You wait!" Li Hu roared and threw five feints.
Seeing that Lin Fan still did not move, Li Hu stopped probing when he threw his sixth punch.
'Slap!' Lin Fan raised his hand and brushed away Li Hu's fist.
Li Hu's eyes darkened, and then he threw a punch.
Lin Fan easily blocked the attack as before.
"Damn it!" Li Hu's mind was in turmoil, and he swung his fists wildly.
After Lin Fan accepted each of the punches, his eyes suddenly sharpened, and he threw a punch at Li Hu's face.
As the fist approached Li Hu, Lin Fan stopped short of striking, withdrawing his strength.
Startled, Li Hu staggered back, his legs giving way, and collapsed to the ground: "I...I lost..."
