Cultivation Pet Shop

148 Chapter 148

This face was a face that was familiar to the envoy because he had seen it multiple times during the past few days. He had seen it almost daily as he investigated that pet shop that he couldn't see through. He had seen it so much that he was sick of seeing that face.

The envoy just shook his head and said, "No, how could it be you? I'll never believe this!"

Under that mask was the face of Lin Fan, the one that he couldn't see through.

Lin Fan just smiled at him as he said, "Why can't it be me?"

The envoy didn't know what to say at all, all he could do was open and close his mouth as shock completely wiped his mind blank.

Lin Fan shook his head with a smile when he saw this before turning to say to the crowd, "Now I see a few familiar faces out there, but there are many people I don't recognize. Hello everyone, I am Lin Fan, the owner of the infamous pet shop that you've all heard of."

At this, the crowd exploded.

Over the past few days, since the Alchemy Tower couldn't make a move against them, they had resorted to another method of attacking his shop. Since they couldn't directly attack it, they could only use indirect methods, like the most common business strategy for taking care of rival businesses, spreading bad rumours.

There were all kinds of different rumours that were spread about Lin Fan's shop, but the most common one was naturally the rumour that Lin Fan's shop was selling fake goods.

For those that had been to Lin Fan's shop and had personally seen his products, naturally they didn't doubt the quality of his shop and his goods.

But for those that had never been there before, even if the Alchemy Tower had degraded since the passing of the previous Alchemy Master, it was still one of the leading authorities in alchemy on the Blue Star Planet. So naturally their words carried weight and many people had avoided Lin Fan's shop because of this.

Then again, those that did were those who couldn't afford to buy Lin Fan's items, so it really didn't affect his store. However, it did affect his popularity which hurt the progress with his mission.

He was supposed to create three branch stores with the same amount of fame as the main store, but how could he achieve that with someone hurting his reputation like this?

All of that changed in this moment when Lin Fan revealed himself as Fan Lin.

Everyone had seen Fan Lin's talent during the tournament. With how talented he was in alchemy, was there even a need to doubt the products in his shop?

Then again, there were also rumours that there was a powerful expert guarding the store, which helped add even more credibility to that store.

The Alchemy Master was the first one to react. When he saw the changes in the crowd, he knew that the situation was bad.

The Alchemy Tower's reputation had been thrown into the ground at this point and if they didn't stop Lin Fan now, they wouldn't be able to recover. However, the Alchemy Master was still a bit afraid of Lin Fan after what had happened last time.

Since he didn't dare stop Lin Fan, he went to the only person he thought that could. He came to the envoy's side and tapped his shoulder a bit, which woke the envoy from his daze.

When the envoy came out of his daze and saw the situation, his face became very ugly.

How had his perfect plan collapsed like this?

He had seen his perfect future already, but now he had been thrown into the pits of hell. He had seen paradise, but now he had lost everything.

When he thought of this, his eyes were filled with rage and hatred as he glared at Lin Fan.

Since he was already pushed this far, he had no choice but to use his final trick. While that trick might seem shameful, he had been pushed onto a path of no return.

The Alchemy King Hall had sent him down to deal with this situation, but with how things had turned out, if word of this reached the Alchemy King Hall, he would definitely lose his position.

He had no other choice now, he had to silence everyone, whether it was with his wit or by force.

The envoy approached Lin Fan who was just standing there and watching the crowd with a smile.

Lin Fan quickly noticed the envoy approaching him, but he was confident since he knew that the envoy wouldn't attack him in front of everyone, otherwise it might mean losing all face and starting a war.

But once the envoy approached Lin Fan with a smile, before Lin Fan could say a word, the envoy suddenly punched out.

Lin Fan immediately knit his brows and crossed his arms in front of his chest to block this attack.

Even with his physique that was in the Fragmented Soul Realm, he still couldn't block the attack of the envoy since the envoy was an expert in the Fragmented Soul Realm.

This meant that they were a match when it came to their physiques, but the laws that Lin Fan controlled were much weaker in comparison. When their laws clashed, Lin Fan's Platinum Realm laws collapsed under the power of the envoy's Fragmented Soul Realm laws.

It was a good thing that this one strike from the envoy was a quick strike where he hadn't gathered all his strength yet, so Lin Fan was still able to resist it.

Even though he did resist it, Lin Fan was still pushed back several meters. Once he stabilized himself, he suddenly felt blood come up his throat as he spat out a small mouthful of blood.

When the envoy saw that Lin Fan was only slightly injured, he couldn't help being shocked by this.

This didn't make sense at all, when did a Platinum Realm Expert become strong enough to resist a Fragmented Soul Realm Expert? The level of power they controlled was completely different!

Even if it was a quick strike that didn't use all his power, he had still used at least 50% of his power in that one strike.

The strangest thing was that when the envoy punched Lin Fan, Lin Fan's body actually wasn't weaker than his. If it wasn't for his law, he felt that he might not have even been able to hurt Lin Fan.

When a certain cloaked figure in the stands saw Lin Fan spitting out blood, she really wanted to jump out, but Lin Fan had turned to her and shook his head.

The most power that Angela could use in this lower realm was in the True Soul Realm, which was the peak Soul Realm. Once she used power in the Star Realm, it would expose her true nature and expose her true identity which would be bad for Lin Fan.

Since this envoy came from an upper realm faction, Lin Fan assumed that he would have someone stronger with him. Otherwise, if he thought that he could dominate the lower realm with just his Fragmented Soul Realm cultivation, he really was too arrogant.

If Angela were to help Lin Fan now, it would leave her exposed for a sneak attack from the escort of this envoy. If that were to happen, Angela would either have to expose her true identity or be forced to take the hit and get injured.

While Angela didn't mind this, Lin Fan did since that would go against his plan.

? If Lin Fan was being pressured by something stronger than a kid in the Fragmented Soul Realm, he might consider this, but someone in the Fragmented Soul Realm was someone he could still deal with.

Lin Fan would use himself as bait to draw out the escort by taking down this envoy and Angela would take care of the escort once they were drawn out, that was the plan Lin Fan came up with.

Lin Fan stood back up and pulled out a giant bone club from his Storage Ring.

This was the same giant bone that Angela had found for him in the Inheritance Realm, the one that was able to clash with the Fragmented Soul Artifact of the Feng Family.

But this time, it was different when Lin Fan was wielding it.

With a swing of his hand, the giant bone club had suddenly turned into a giant two handed zweihander sword.

After the fight with the Feng Family, Lin Fan had asked Momonga about this giant bone club and he was shocked by what Momonga had found.

Momonga had told him that this was a special artifact made with the bones of a very special species of wild beast, the Iron Eater.

The Iron Eater was a beast that could change into the shape of various weapons, so once its bones were refined into an artifact, that artifact gained the same ability.

Once Lin Fan dripped a drop of blood onto the giant bone club, he felt that it had formed a connection with him and he was free to change it at will with a single thought.

He had tested it several times and had learned how to use various different weapons because of it, but now he was much stronger than when he only fought with his fists. That was because of the most shocking thing Momonga had found about this artifact.

This wasn't just a Fragmented Soul Artifact, it was actually an Embryo Soul Artifact!
