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

"This Xu Xiu is very powerful. It is said that he suddenly appeared a year ago, and his first appearance was when he eliminated a powerful expert at the Great Perfection of the Death Profound Realm."

Mu Lingshan leaned closer, saw where Lin Dong's gaze was focused, and said with a grin,

"However, in my opinion, there's something wrong with this rookie ranking. Brother Lin Fan should definitely be number one. After all, even Wu Xuan from the Evil Wind Cave Heaven died at Brother Lin Fan's hands."

Lin Fan smiled faintly and said, "Unless your third grandfather testifies for me in front of everyone, even if I tell others now that I killed Wu Xuan, no one will believe me."

"Hehe, how about we wait until we see Third Grandfather next time and have him testify for you in person?" Mu Lingshan said with a giggle.

Lin Fan shrugged. "Forget it, it's better to keep a low profile. Let's go, let's head to the Sea of ​​Flames first. The start date of the Thunder Tournament seems to be approaching."

……

The Sea of ​​Flames is a vast area within the Chaotic Demon Sea.

In this sea area, there are no other forces present. There is only one behemoth here, namely the Temple of Flame.

It is the undisputed ruler and overlord of this sea area!

The Chaotic Demon Sea is teeming with powerful figures, and its major forces are far more complex than those in the Eastern Xuan Region. There are also many more experts at the Reincarnation Realm than in the Eastern Xuan Region.

The reason why the Flame God Temple was able to occupy such a vast area of ​​the chaotic Demon Sea was naturally because of the existence of Moro.

With the strength of the Reincarnation Realm and the Flame Ancestral Symbol, even true powerhouses who have entered the Reincarnation Realm dare not underestimate him in the slightest.

Therefore, in this sea area, almost no one dares to challenge the authority of the Temple of Flame.

Even those powerful forces of the same level behaved very discreetly and kept a low profile when they arrived here.

Five days later, Lin Fan and his two companions arrived at the Sea of ​​Flames.

As far as the eye could see, there was a sea area with a pale red color, and beneath the surface of the sea, there was an extremely violent power of fire.

"Beneath this Sea of ​​Flames lie a continuous series of volcanoes. Don't be fooled by its calm surface; countless volcanoes are erupting beneath. If you wander in recklessly, even a Death Profound Realm expert will be in a sorry state."

Mu Lingshan introduced Lin Fan and Lin Dong to each other, acting as a guide.

"Let's go, next, we'll fly there," Lin Fan said with a smile, gazing into the distance.

As soon as he finished speaking, Lin Fan took to the air and flew towards the depths of the Sea of ​​Flames.

"Okay," Mu Lingshan replied, gently patting the giant whale before following along with Lin Dong.

The Sea of ​​Flames is now extremely lively because the Thunder Tournament is about to begin.

Countless streaks of light streaked across the sky, sweeping in the same direction like a vast expanse, creating a truly magnificent spectacle.

As Lin Fan ventured deeper into the Sea of ​​Flames, he could see large groups of soldiers clad in fiery red armor flying across the sky from time to time.

These almost military-like groups all had a flame symbol on their chests, representing the Temple of Flame.

The Sea of ​​Flames is quite vast, dotted with islands, and the place Lin Fan and his group were heading to was Flame City, the headquarters of the Flame God Temple.

After most of the day had passed, the three of them finally arrived outside the City of Fire.

A massive crimson light shield, shaped like an inverted bowl, descended and enveloped the city. A terrifying energy fluctuation emanated from the shield, causing even space itself to appear distorted.

Around the city, countless rainbow lights fell like a torrential rain, finally passing through the light shield and entering the colossal city.

Lin Fan and his two companions entered the Flame City without any hesitation.

"It's said that there's a welcoming pavilion in Fireflame City where everyone participating in the tournament goes. Shall we go too?"

Upon entering the city, Mu Lingshan gazed at the bustling city, her large eyes sparkling with excitement.

"Of course I'll go," Lin Fan said with a slight smile.

The Welcome Pavilion was quite conspicuous in Fireflame City, so the three of them arrived at it without much trouble.

Before this massive and magnificent pavilion stood numerous guards clad in crimson armor, exuding a powerful aura, making the defense quite formidable.

Soon, the three of them successfully entered the welcoming pavilion.

As soon as you enter the gate, a lively atmosphere greets you. The spacious hall in front of you is bustling with people and very noisy.

"Brother Lin Fan, Brother Lin Dong!"

Lin Fan and his two companions had just entered the welcoming pavilion when a surprised voice suddenly rang out.

Chapter 385 Get out, or die! [Please continue reading]

Lin Fan and his two companions looked in the direction of the sound and saw two figures looking at them with surprise in a corner of the pavilion.

The person on the left is a beautiful woman with a slender and supple waist, dressed in a light-colored dress. Her exquisite face is none other than Gu Mengqi from the Gu family of the Tianfeng Sea Region.

Beside Gu Mengqi was a familiar figure to Lin Fan—Gu Yan, whom they had met when they first arrived in the Tianfeng Sea.

"Hehe, I didn't expect to run into you here," Lin Fan said with a light laugh as he led Lin Dong and Mu Lingshan over.

"You're here to participate in the tournament hosted by the Flame God Temple, right?" Gu Mengqi smiled and stared at Lin Fan, her delicate eyebrows curving gently like the moon.

Lin Fan nodded slightly, "Just here to join in the fun."

"Hehe, Brother Lin Fan is too modest. Being fourth on the rookie list is not something you can just do for fun," Gu Yan chuckled. "It's us who are here to join in the fun."

Lin Fan smiled, neither confirming nor denying it.

Afterwards, Lin Dong greeted the two women and introduced Mu Lingshan. The two sides got along very well.

At Gu Mengqi's invitation, Lin Fan and the other two sat down at their table and chatted casually.

As they spoke in hushed tones, a commotion suddenly arose at the pavilion's main entrance, followed by a rustling sound that spread outwards.

Lin Fan raised an eyebrow and saw a group of people rushing in through the gate. At the very front of the group was a man in black. The man was tall and straight, with lips as thin as a knife, and a hint of coldness emanated from him.

The moment this person appeared, he caused a slight commotion in the building, clearly indicating that he was someone of considerable importance.

"Who is that guy?" Mu Lingshan asked, pursing her lips.

“Huang Ling of the Overturning Sea Sect… was originally ninth on the rookie list, but now he has been squeezed out of the top ten,” Gu Mengqi said.

Lin Fan smiled and said, "It seems that you were squeezed out by Lin Dong and me?"

Gu Mengqi parted her red lips slightly, "You could say that."

At this moment, Huang Ling also entered the pavilion and walked towards a group of people, who turned out to be members of the Wei family from the Tianfeng Sea Region.

Among them, Lin Fan also saw a familiar face, Wei Zhen, who had once participated in the martial arts tournament of the five major families.

Wei Zhen seemed to know Huang Ling. Upon seeing the latter approach, he quickly greeted him with a smile and then whispered something in his ear.

Huang Ling's eyes flickered slightly, and then his gaze shifted to the table where Lin Fan and Gu Mengqi were sitting.

"Heh," Huang Ling chuckled, then turned around and headed towards the table where Lin Fan and the others were.

Upon seeing Huang Ling's actions, many people raised their eyebrows and looked over as if they were watching a spectacle.

The rustling sounds spread through the pavilion. Gu Mengqi and Gu Yan looked at Huang Ling walking towards them, a hint of tension flashing in their eyes, and their jade hands on the table couldn't help but clench.

"What? Does that person have a grudge against you?" Lin Fan asked casually, looking at the two women.

Gu Yan hesitated for a moment, then recounted the grievances between them and Huang Ling.

It's actually quite simple. Huang Ling took a liking to Gu Mengqi, but Gu Mengqi didn't give him any attention, which angered him. As a result, the Gu family had several merchant ships seized.

"This guy is going too far," Mu Lingshan said, clenching her small fist indignation.

"Hehe, Miss Mengqi, I didn't expect to meet you here. What a coincidence."

Just then, Huang Ling also came to the table and let out a soft laugh.

Gu Mengqi looked at Huang Ling, who was holding a wine glass and had a gentle smile on his handsome face. Her expression seemed to want to turn cold, but then she thought of something, gritted her teeth, and forced out a smile.

“There was a misunderstanding with Miss Mengqi at sea earlier, and I apologize in advance. I will have someone send the merchant ship over when Miss Mengqi leaves,” Huang Ling said, his gaze fixed intently on Gu Mengqi.

At this moment, he seemed not to see the others next to Gu Mengqi.

"Thank you very much," Gu Mengqi said softly.

"You're welcome," Huang Ling smiled, then said, "Does Miss Mengqi have time? I'd like to introduce you to some of my friends."

"In the future, when the Gu family's merchant ships are overseas, they may need their help, which will only benefit your Gu family."

"Perhaps it's not very convenient," Gu Mengqi said with some difficulty.

Upon hearing this, Huang Ling smiled faintly and said, "Miss Mengqi, don't be so disrespectful."

Hearing the renewed chill in Huang Ling's words, a hint of anger flashed across Gu Mengqi's face.

Inside the pavilion, many people were watching this scene, looking on with anticipation of a good show.

"roll!"

Just then, a cold and domineering voice suddenly rang out in the attic.

Huang Ling's face suddenly darkened, his eyes narrowed into a dangerous arc, and he turned towards Lin Fan, "Are you talking to me?"

"You should recognize me by now, right?" Lin Fan raised his eyelids slightly, glanced at Huang Ling, and said.

"Heh, I do know Lin Fan, who's fourth on the rookie list. But even if you are fourth on the rookie list, speaking like this is far too arrogant!" Huang Ling stared at Lin Fan and sneered.

"There are quite a few people who disagree with this rookie ranking!"

As soon as Huang Ling finished speaking, a commotion erupted inside the pavilion.

"He is Lin Fan!"

"I never expected it to be that ruthless person. It seems he's going to stand up for the Gu family!"

"He's only been in the Chaotic Demon Sea for a year, yet he's already ranked fourth on the rookie list. He's really something else!"

"However, Huang Ling is no simple character either, and there are several people on the rookie list who are on good terms with him!"

"..."

"Get out, or die!"

Lin Fan was too lazy to waste words with Huang Ling and spoke coldly.

Those around Lin Fan were secretly astonished upon hearing his words. As expected of a ruthless man who had killed five Death Profound Realm experts in succession, he was even more domineering than Huang Ling.

Huang Ling, who had always been arrogant, could not tolerate such humiliation. Upon hearing this, anger surged on his face. "I'll test you first. How much strength do you, the fourth-ranked rookie, really have!"

As the words fell, Huang Ling suddenly rushed towards Lin Fan, his black longsword viciously thrusting towards Lin Fan's chest.

"court death!"
