Martial Universe: Invincible through lottery, with godlike comprehension from the start.

Wang Yan was pale and staggered as he finally managed to stand up, but Lin Fan was already in front of him again.

"Senior Brother Wang Yan, you've lost!"

Lin Fan swung the black tree trunk in his hand again, but it didn't fall; instead, it hovered above Wang Yan's head.

"Bang bang bang!"

Around Wang Yan's body, the ground instantly cracked, with fissures spreading everywhere, and then exploded, creating a huge crater tens of meters deep!

Only where Wang Yan was standing remained a small platform.

At the same time, a delicate dagger gleaming with golden light was pressed against Wang Yan's throat, piercing through the keratin layer of his primordial spirit and leaving a shallow bloodstain on his throat.

If we go just a little deeper, we can pierce his throat!

Chapter 248 Victory or Defeat, Who Will Take Command! [Please Read On]

Wang Yan stared intently at Lin Fan, his expression extremely complicated.

Wang Yan believed himself to be quite strong. With his ruthless nature, he could crush even those of the same level in a place like the Blood Rock Land.

However, he never expected that although he and Lin Fan were at the same level, the difference between them was so exaggerated!

Although Wang Yan still had some trump cards up his sleeve, looking at Lin Fan's relaxed demeanor, he understood that even if he used his last trump card, he would still be no match for Lin Fan.

But he was really unwilling to admit defeat!

"Senior Brother Wang Yan, I don't want to hurt you too badly, so please don't force me!"

Lin Fan looked at Wang Yan, whose expression was shifting, and said calmly, "The Sect Competition is not far away. Don't you want to kill a few more enemies in the Sect Competition?"

Lin Fan was very familiar with Wang Yan's situation and felt some sympathy for him, which is why he held back.

If Wang Yan continues to be stubborn, then he will no longer be polite.

Wang Yan never had the chance to enjoy the same treatment as Ying Huanhuan.

"You won..."

Wang Yan stared at Lin Fan for a long while before his eyes finally dimmed. Then he slowly closed his eyes, and a hoarse voice finally came out.

call!

Upon hearing Wang Yan's voice, everyone on the mountaintop finally relaxed their clenched fists.

On the desolate mountaintop, it was as if an autumn wind had swept up some gravel and withered leaves.

Everyone stared blankly at Wang Yan, whose eyes were closed and whose face was pale, with complex expressions flashing in their eyes.

Wang Yan lost!

Even Ying Xiaoxiao, the most outstanding young generation today, defeated him, yet he lost!

The person he conceded defeat to was a new disciple who had only been with the Dao Sect for less than a year.

Almost no one could have predicted this outcome.

Although Lin Fan had declared before the palace examination that he was destined to be number one.

However, very few people in the Daoist sect believed he could do it.

In the eyes of most people, the winner of this year's imperial examination will inevitably be either Ying Xiaoxiao or Wang Yan.

However, reality was beyond everyone's expectations.

Lin Fan achieved his goal of winning first place in the palace examination, fulfilling his bold statement!

Moreover, it seems that getting first place in the palace examination was quite easy.

That was Wang Yan, who had defeated Ying Xiaoxiao, yet he was defeated so easily by Lin Fan!

"This guy... he's really something!"

The disciples exchanged glances, all seeing a deep respect in the other's shocked eyes.

After a moment of shock, the disciples of the Desolate Palace showed excitement and pride on their faces.

They knew that after this battle, the status of the Desolate Palace within the Dao Sect would inevitably rise.

It's unlikely that anyone would dare to utter those mocking remarks from the past.

Who dares to say that their desolate palace is still at the bottom of the list?

In this year's imperial examination, Lin Fan was undoubtedly the most dazzling person.

"Sister, that guy really won!" Upon hearing Wang Yan's words, Ying Huanhuan couldn't help but clench her hands tightly, her big eyes filled with a relieved joy.

Ying Xiaoxiao nodded slightly, a smile also appearing on her delicate face.

Although this would mean Lin Fan would gain command of the sect competition, it would still be better than Wang Yan's situation.

"We're both at the Ninth Nirvana Realm, but I never expected Lin Fan to be so strong," Ying Xiaoxiao said, her beautiful eyes blinking as she looked at the young figure in the arena who was forcefully forcing Wang Yan to admit defeat.

"Sister is very strong too. If you weren't so soft-hearted, even Senior Brother Wang Yan might not have been able to beat you," Ying Huanhuan said with a sweet smile, holding Ying Xiaoxiao's fair wrist.

Lin Fan's victory clearly relieved the girl's anxiety, and her pretty face regained its usual liveliness and vitality.

Ying Xiaoxiao shook her head, neither agreeing nor disagreeing.

To be honest, her strength was indeed no weaker than Wang Yan's, but she lacked a bit of decisiveness and ruthlessness.

This kind of thing can probably only be truly possessed after being tempered by blood and fire.

As for Lin Fan, Ying Xiaoxiao felt that even if she possessed the same ruthless decisiveness, she would still be defeated.

Isn't Wang Yan right in front of us the best example?

After a brief moment of astonishment, Chen Zhen and the others quickly regained their senses on the high platform.

At this moment, even with their composure, a relieved smile couldn't help but appear on their faces.

Chen Zhen smiled and looked at Ying Xuanzi in the center seat.

The latter's face remained calm as a still pool, but if you looked closely, you could still see a hint of a smile in his eyes.

Clearly, the Taoist sect leader was extremely satisfied with this result.

"Announce the results!"

Upon hearing Ying Xuanzi's words, Chen Zhen nodded, stood up, scanned the entire room, and spoke in a deep, resonant voice:

"The ultimate winner of this Palace Examination is Lin Fan from the Desolate Palace. As the champion of the Palace Examination, he will also have the command authority over the disciples of my Dao Sect during the Sect Competition."

Chen Zhen's powerful voice echoed across the mountaintop, reaching the ears of everyone present.

As soon as he finished speaking, a thunderous cheer erupted from the mountaintop.

All the gazes that had gathered from the sky finally landed on Lin Fan, filled with deep awe.

Seeing that the dust had settled, Lin Fan flipped his hand and put away the black tree trunk. At the same time, the golden God-Slaying Flying Knife also disappeared silently.

Immediately, Lin Fan looked at the high platform and smiled, "Uncle-Master Chenzhen, let's leave the command to Senior Sister Xiaoxiao. I'm not good at this."

During the sect competition, barring any unforeseen circumstances, I will likely be separated from the main group, so there will be no need for me to take command.

Ying Xiaoxiao, who was in the audience, was taken aback when she heard this.

Ying Huanhuan, standing to the side, smiled and said, "What a sensible fellow."

On the high platform, Chen Zhen was also taken aback by Lin Fan's words, then turned his head to look at Ying Xuanzi, who pondered for a moment before nodding.

If we really have to talk about who the best candidate is, Ying Xiaoxiao is definitely the most suitable.

"Since you brought it up yourself, then so be it. I'll hand over the command to Xiaoxiao. Also, according to the rules, the final winner of the palace examination will receive a reward. You can go to the sect leader's office to collect it later."

Chen Zhen saw Ying Xuanzi nod before speaking to Lin Fan.

Lin Fan is in good condition now, so he doesn't need to recuperate from his injuries like Lin Dong in the original story.

In the arena, Wang Yan's expression was somewhat indifferent. He picked up his heavy sword and prepared to turn and leave. His lonely figure was heartbreaking.

As Ying Xiaoxiao and Ying Huanhuan watched that retreating figure, the smiles on their faces involuntarily faded.

"Senior Brother Wang Yan, I also find the people of Yuan Sect displeasing. During the sect competition, I hope we can fight side by side, kill more Yuan Sect disciples, and uphold the prestige of our Dao Sect!"

Lin Fan looked at Wang Yan's back and suddenly spoke up.

"When the time comes, kill whoever you want. Also... you did the right thing. Xiaoxiao is indeed the best choice, but I am not as magnanimous as you."

Wang Yan paused slightly, turned to the side, nodded slowly to Lin Fan, and uttered a slightly sinister sound before turning and leaving.

After Wang Yan left, this year's palace examination was almost over.

Under the instructions of the four hall masters, the crowd dispersed in an orderly manner.

Lin Fan, on the other hand, went with Ying Xuanzi to collect the champion's reward.

The grand palace examination, which had caused a sensation throughout the entire Dao Sect, finally came to a complete end as the sun began to set.

The numerous Daoist disciples, still somewhat shocked and feeling unsatisfied, dispersed.

This year's imperial examination was full of twists and turns.

Ying Xiaoxiao was unexpectedly defeated by Wang Yan. Just when everyone thought Wang Yan would successfully reach the top, Lin Fan suddenly appeared.

With an extremely powerful demeanor, amidst countless incredulous gazes, he decisively defeated Wang Yan, becoming the most dazzling protagonist in this year's palace examination!

Lin Fan ultimately won, but he voluntarily handed over command to Ying Xiaoxiao. This action surprised many disciples, but also made them feel admiration.

This is something not everyone can do.

This move undoubtedly brought Lin Fan's already soaring reputation to its peak, and even showed a tendency to surpass Ying Xiaoxiao, Wang Yan and others!

……

In the blink of an eye, several days had passed since the day of the imperial examination.

On the day the palace examination ended, Lin Fan went with Ying Xuanzi to receive the reward.

Ying Xuanzi's reward options for Lin Fan were still a Heaven-Rank Spiritual Treasure and the Stillness Token.

Lin Fan had no shortage of Heavenly Rank spiritual treasures, and the boost they provided to him was quite limited. After a moment's thought, Lin Fan still chose the Stillness Token.
