104 Chapter 104

Since they had already agreed to play, Lin Fan and Angela went to the training room with the old man.

The old man jumped into the center and threw the ball from hand to hand in a very relaxed manner, as he looked at the two and said, "Well you can start whenever you want. If you want to come together, that's fine too."

Lin Fan and Angela looked at each other with the same smile before shaking their heads.

This old man, he really was seeking death.

Sure he might be able to handle Lin Fan, but he was actually underestimating Angela?

The last Legendary Realm Expert who had done that was Mu Bo Hai and he had received a black eye from it…

Lin Fan shook his head as he came forward and he said, "I'll be first."

The old man raised a brow and asked, "Are you sure you don't want to come together? I'm sure you know how strong I am."

Lin Fan really didn't know what was wrong with this old man, was he just confident or was he just stupid?

He just walked up to the old man and stuck out his hand as he said, "How about a friendly handshake before we begin?"

The old man looked at Lin Fan in surprise, but still he wasn't against this. Rather he was quite happy to see that this kid knew how to be humble as well.

But when the old man was about to shake Lin Fan's hand, Lin Fan's hand suddenly moved up towards the ball he was holding in his other than.

The old man's eyes opened wide in surprise, but then he just revealed a calm smile.

Right as Lin Fan's hand was about to land on the ball, the old man disappeared with a flash of white light and he appeared behind Lin Fan. Lin Fan wildly looked around, but then he felt a tap on his left shoulder.

When Lin Fan turned his head around, his cheek went right into the outstretched finger of the old man.

Lin Fan was annoyed at this and swung out at the old man, but that old man disappeared once again and appeared on the other side, standing in his original spot.

When he turned back to see the old man standing in his original spot, Lin Fan couldn't help clicking his tongue.

The old man just said with a smile, "Young man, you really are sly, but that's good sometimes. On the battlefield, being sly can sometimes be the same as using tactics, so there's nothing wrong with being sly sometimes."

Lin Fan just gave a soft snort before saying, "Then I'm coming for real this time."

Instead of releasing his normal three law gauntlet, Lin Fan released the power of the laws as auras around him, creating a three fold aura of gold, blue, and white energy.

When the old man saw this, he couldn't stop a flash of surprise from flashing in his eyes as he became a bit more vigilant. It seemed like he had indeed underestimated this kid.

Lin Fan didn't want to kill this old man since this was just a friendly game, so that was why he surrounded himself in his laws which would only give his physical attributes a boost.

When Lin Fan charged forward this time, he moved much faster, but still he couldn't catch up to the old man.

His first move was dashing around in a circle around the old man, creating afterimages as he went along, but still the old man's eyes saw through everything. The old man just followed him as he ran around in the circle and he stared right at him when he charged forward. The old man raised the ball up with one hand as he jumped over Lin Fan with the other, sending Lin Fan head first towards the wall.

Lin Fan quickly leaned back and used his feet to ground himself, stopping just a few inches away from the wall.

But he didn't stop for a single second since the old man was still flying through the air, so he knew that the old man couldn't dodge at this moment. Lin Fan quickly turned around and jumped forward once again, sending out a kick at the old man.

When Lin Fan's kick was about to land on the old man's chest, the old man suddenly grabbed his foot and with a turn, he swung Lin Fan in the air before throwing him onto the ground.

Lin Fan slammed down and quickly jumped up just to have the old man softly land right on his head.

Lin Fan quickly gathered his life energy and clapped above his head, aiming for the old man's foot, but the old man just jumped down and landed in front of Lin Fan with a smile.

The old man said, "Young man, you really are impressive, but your moves are a bit predictable. It seems to me that you're focused on cultivating your body and haven't cultivated any fighting styles yet, making your attacks quite simple and straightforward. When you fight against anyone with a bit of battle experience, it makes it quite easy for them to avoid you as long as you don't completely overpower them."

Lin Fan knew that this old man was right.

He had been focused on gaining as much strength as possible in a short amount of time, which meant that instead of focusing on technique, he's been drawing out all the potential that his body had to increase his cultivation.

But by doing this, he had a lack of techniques which made his attacks quite simple and straightforward.

Even if he had plenty of battle experience from putting his life on the line, that only meant that he could read his opponent.

When facing someone with the same amount of battle experience and the same level of cultivation, he would definitely be on the short end of the stick since he was lacking techniques to use.

But having this pointed out so directly made Lin Fan a little annoyed, so he just gave a snort and said, "Maybe, but let's see if you can keep that ball!"

The old man just shook his head with a smile, but he didn't say anything else. He had already said anything he had needed to say, anything else was unnecessary.

Lin Fan charged at the old man again and again, but the old man dodged easily time after time.

There were a few times when Lin Fan came close by using special little tricks, but every time his hand was about to touch the ball, there was a flash of white light before the old man disappeared.

Time continued to pass and eventually time ran out for Lin Fan.

Right before time ran out, Lin Fan made a desperation move of summoning out his three pets to create a three fold law cage around the old man. However, just like every time before when he almost caught the old man, there was the same flash of white light before the old man disappeared.

Finally, Lin Fan fell down to the ground feeling exhausted. He had given his all and in the end, he had failed.

Although this was just a game, he couldn't stop it from pressing down on his heart as a failure.

This was the first time he had failed at anything since coming to this world, it really did bother him.

Then he thought about what the old man had said before about his lack of techniques and he decided that maybe it was time for him to learn some techniques. He had seen some in the Feng Family's treasures, maybe he should seriously look over them next time.

The old man just walked over to where Lin Fan was lying down and said, "Well, that was a good try, but I think that you should know what you are lacking now. If you were to make up for that, I doubt I would have been able to escape your final trap."

Lin Fan looked up at the old man and knew that he had plenty of energy to spare, so he said, "What a liar."

The old man just gave a shrug.

Then Lin Fan said, "Just you wait, I'll get you next time."

The old man revealed a smile and said, "I'm looking forward to it." Then he turned to Angela and said, "What about this young miss, do you want to take your turn now?"

That was the main reason why Lin Fan had accepted his defeat so easily, he knew what was coming up and he was looking forward to seeing the old man eat his words.

Angela had been watching this entire time and knew that this old man had been training Lin Fan, so her guard against him was relaxed a bit, but there was still a trace of annoyance from being looked on earlier.

She just went over to where Lin Fan was and threw him to the side before saying, "Let's do this then."

For some reason, the old man felt a chill run down his back at these words...
