Chapter 136: Three Questions

  Ripples spread across the water, waves rising.

  Lu Fan stepped out with his other foot and stood on the surface of the water.

  Just like a stone thrown into a lake, ripples spread out in circles.

  Lu Fan stood on the lake surface, and the power of heaven and earth around him began to fluctuate strangely.

  A spiral water flow rises from the surface of the water, and a flowing golden power appears around it.

  The dean's eyes shone brightly and he nodded three times in a row.

  "Alright, alright, alright!"

  Lu Fan's footsteps were steady, step by step towards the center of the lake.

  The reason why it is called Tao Domain is that the key point lies in the Tao within it.

  From this realm, Lu Fan felt a vitality-filled and infinitely powerful aura.

  Vast and profound, mysterious and again mysterious.

  Although he had only caught a glimpse of it, it was enough to make the Dao realm no longer reject him.

  It's really unknown who left this piece of Taoist domain. Lu Fan couldn't help but imagine that the person's power would be how terrifying and powerful.

  A glimpse of a leopard through a tube, and you can see one spot.

  Lu Fan walked quietly, doing his best to keep his body stable and his breath in harmony with the Tao.

  This is not an easy thing, slightly different, he will be rejected by the Taoist community again.

  One hundred and eighty steps later, Lu Fan arrived at the center of the lake and stepped into a small boat.

  The moment I stepped onto the boat, all the pressure vanished instantly.

  As if the Tao realm no longer exists, everything returns to nothingness, and transforms into a calm lake.

  The dean looked at Lu Fan with a faint smile.

  "You are the first student who can reach the boat. You're great, I seem to see you at the peak of Wu An Guo that day."

  Lu Fan slowly exhaled and looked at the transparent Dean in front of him, with a hint of surprise in his eyes, but still calmly replied: "Dean, you're overpraising me."

  The principal stretched out his hand and gently patted Lufan's shoulder.

  Ke Lufan only saw the dean's hand move twice on his shoulder, but he didn't feel anything.

  "Don't be surprised, what you're seeing now is just one of my powerful avatars, naturally it doesn't have a physical body."

  Lu Fan's face showed surprise, and he said: "Split body? Dean, have you gone far away?"

  The principal smiled and said, "It's not that I've gone far away, but rather I'm already in a distant place. All these years, the me who stayed at Wudang Academy was just a split body. It's just that on the outside, it looks like my physical form is intact, but here, I have to reveal my true form."

  Lu Fan's face showed even more surprise, the principal of Wudao Academy was actually just a clone.

  Before Lu Fan's surprise had faded, the principal continued: "My true body is now in Wuping City, the capital of Wu'an Country. When you come to participate in the Great Competition of All Nations, you can come and see me then. You are already qualified now. Take this thing."

  The dean waved his hand and a ray of light fell down, and a small heavenly character appeared on Lu Fan's palm.

  The font is majestic and carries a domineering aura. The principal said: "Remember, when you arrive in Doucheng, come to the Tianjia to find me."

  Lu Fan bowed his head in response, the capital of Wu An Guo, what kind of place is that. It's said that the warriors there, even the gatekeepers have at least reached the outer boundary realm cultivation. The headmaster spoke of Tian Jia, Lu Fan didn't know, but thought it must be a true martial arts family without a doubt.

  "Director, what is this Wanfang International Competition?"

  The Dean said, "A competition for young elites from various countries to showcase their skills and choose a successor. Ask your master about these when you return. Lu Fan, I have a few questions for you now. You must answer truthfully."

  Lu Fan nodded slightly.

  "The Dean said: 'Firstly, tell me. What have you realized from within my domain?'"

  Lu Fan pondered for a moment before saying, "All things are born from nothingness!"

  The dean's eyes suddenly burst out with a sharp light.

  "Good, being able to comprehend these four characters, your cultivation can be reduced by a hundred years. I'll give you another sentence: The cultivation of martial arts is for life, in harmony with heaven and earth, with the same longevity as the earth. But the cultivation of martial arts is also for death, a belly full of hot blood, a segment of red dust. The extreme of life, the place of death. The cycle of life and death, endless birth."

  Lu Fan muttered to himself and repeated this sentence several times, although he didn't understand it at the time, but he still forcibly memorized it and engraved it in his mind.

  The dean found Lufan more and more pleasing to the eye, with a natural talent, not arrogant, calm and composed. For a moment, the dean had the idea of accepting him as an apprentice.

  However, the dean still held back this idea, it's not the right time yet.

  He paused for a moment, and then the principal continued to ask: "Second question, tell me. How did you make the magic tool of the cultivator listen to you?"

  Lu Fan's expression changed slightly, and he hesitated for a moment before saying, "Director, I have had some strange experiences, so I understand a bit about the methods of Qi Refining Masters."

  The dean nodded calmly and said, "Yes, at your age, having such achievements is quite normal. However, I still want to remind you that whoever cultivates achievements, whether it's the path of martial arts or the path of cultivating energy, who doesn't have some unexpected encounters? Today, I didn't expose you, but I hope you'll be more cautious in the future. If you're going to deceive people, do it thoroughly."

  The principal suddenly smiled lightly at this point.

  Lu Fan saw the director's smile and suddenly understood in his heart.

  "So it turns out you knew everything all along, Director."

  The Dean smiled and said, "It's not that I know everything. For example, what happened to you inside the Void Mansion, I really don't know. But as long as you left the Void Mansion, how could anything that happened be hidden from Tianqi? If it can't be hidden from Tianqi, then naturally it also can't be hidden from me. When Yan Qing came out of the Void Mansion, I saw everything clearly. How the Ten Directions Cauldron was dug up by Feng Ling and his men, I also saw clearly. The cause and effect, although not knowing all of it, but I understand the general idea. I just didn't say anything. That Zhao Xu really thought I was an old fool."

  Lu Fangdao said: "Why does the Dean still want to..."

  The principal smiled and looked at Lu Fan, saying: "Because I want to see your performance."

  Lu Fan swallowed back the rest of his words and shook his head with a bitter smile.

  "The Dean continued: 'However, your performance has really surprised me. Whether it's your demeanor or calmness, that fearless and humble attitude is reminiscent of a young hero. This is also why I brought you here. Do you think any disciple in the Martial Arts Academy can come here to try out the Dao Domain?'"

  Lu Fan clasped his fists and bowed: "Thank you, Dean."

  The principal waved his hand lightly and said, "Let's put these aside for now. One last question, what is your ideal?"

  Lu Fan didn't even think about it and immediately replied: "I want to become a strong person."

  The principal smiled and said: "What kind of strong person?"

  Lu Fan Dao said: "A strong person who is stronger than anyone else, as long as I am still alive, I will become even stronger."

  The director's smile rose from the corner of his mouth and burst out laughing.

  "It's interesting, it's interesting. I'm looking forward more and more to the day you come to Du City. Alright, Lu Fan, from now on, you can come and go as you please in this place. The Academy Ranking War, such a trivial matter, I suggest you don't waste too much time on it, focusing on your cultivation is the most important thing. For the next few days, take your time to digest what you've learned recently, and don't act rashly again."

  As soon as he finished speaking, the Dean's body transformed into a stream of light and disappeared without a trace.
