Chapter 25 Trapped!

Chapter 25: Chapter 25 Trapped!"Uh?" After hearing Lin Fan’s words, Elder Fang involuntarily paused. Initially, Elder Fang thought that Lin Fan would propose some very harsh conditions under the possession of the Sky Star Token, but unexpectedly, he merely asked to join the Sky Star Sect? This condition was simply too straightforward. Even with Elder Fang’s status, he could easily arrange for Lin Fan to become a disciple of the Sky Star Sect. However, Elder Fang soon regained his composure and said, "Alright, I will arrange for you to become a disciple of the Sky Star Sect, but there’s something I want to clarify first: I can only arrange for you to be an Outer Sect Disciple. Whether you become an Inner Sect Disciple or even a Core Disciple will depend on your own efforts." Lin Fan nodded and responded, "No problem." Finally reassured, Elder Fang’s face broke into a smile as he said, "Good, let me see your Sky Star Token, just to verify it. Once I confirm it’s real, I’ll immediately arrange for you to become a disciple of the Sky Star Sect." Without hesitation, Lin Fan took out the Sky Star Token and handed it to Elder Fang. After a while, Elder Fang, through many methods of verification, returned the Sky Star Token to Lin Fan, saying, "Correct, your Sky Star Token is genuine. I will have someone arrange it, from today onwards, you are a disciple of our Sky Star Sect!" "Thank you!" Lin Fan said. In fact, Lin Fan knew that with the Sky Star Token in hand, he could certainly gain many benefits from the Sky Star Sect if needed. However, Lin Fan had no intention to follow that path. Carrying his own pride, he planned to achieve everything through his own efforts. Had the scruffy elder outside not purposely made things difficult, Lin Fan wouldn’t even have pulled out the Sky Star Token. It must be said that Elder Fang indeed had some means; within just a short period, he had everything arranged for Lin Fan and even had someone escort him to the living quarters of the new Outer Court disciples. Because this year’s new disciple recruitment had not yet started, the living quarters of the new Outer Court disciples were still empty, occupied solely by Lin Fan, giving it a very desolate feel. However, this quiet environment perfectly suited Lin Fan. He took this opportunity to seriously cultivate; now that his cultivation had reached the Into Profound Realm, he could start learning the second move of the Soul Essence Spear Technique. Two Elements Soul Snatching Spear! It must be said, the Sky Star Sect truly deserved to be the first major sect of the Barbarian region, manifesting a grand atmosphere. Even the living quarters for an Outer Sect disciple seemed very luxurious, consisting of a courtyard with various cultivation areas. Having seen such living quarters, Lin Fan was also very satisfied. Although there were some flaws in the room, after a short period of modification, Lin Fan had transformed everything into his preferred style. "I will be spending a long time at the Sky Star Sect!" Lin Fan thought to himself as he lay on the bed. Knock knock knock... At that moment, someone knocked at the door. "Uh?" Lin Fan’s eyebrows slightly furrowed, he thought to himself, "I’m the only one in this new disciples’ residence, who could be knocking on the door?" Still, Lin Fan opened the door and saw a young man standing outside, dressed in the Outer Sect attire of the Sky Star Sect, which meant, this young man was an Outer Sect Disciple of the Sky Star Sect. And his cultivation had already reached the True Profound Realm! However, Lin Fan could feel that the young man’s internal energy was extremely unstable, which indicated a very unsteady foundation. Lin Fan asked, "Senior Brother, do you need something?" The young man took a look at Lin Fan and a hint of disdain appeared in his eyes. He knew that Lin Fan had just become a new disciple, certainly by pulling some strings to enter the Sky Star Sect. In the young man’s view, Lin Fan was nothing more than a slightly influential playboy from outside. The young man then introduced himself, "Let me introduce myself, my name is Luo Ziqiang, and from now on, I will be in charge of managing this ’New Dragon Court’ area!" The ’New Dragon Court’ that Luo Ziqiang mentioned was the courtyard where the new disciples resided. Lin Fan nodded and said, "I see, I hope you will look after us in the future!" "Hmm!" Luo Ziqiang said in a rather pompous tone, "Don’t worry, as long as you know your place, I will certainly take good care of you. But... Junior Brother, since you are the first to move into the New Dragon Court, shouldn’t you make some kind of gesture?" Luo Ziqiang was essentially directly asking Lin Fan for a bribe. At this moment, Lin Fan also finally understood Luo Ziqiang’s intentions. Lin Fan naturally disliked this kind of behavior immensely. Lin Fan responded, "Sorry Senior Brother, I really don’t have any money on me, so..." "Oh?" The smile on Luo Ziqiang’s face slowly faded as he asked, "Junior Brother, are you planning not to cooperate with me? Is that what you’re saying?" Lin Fan just smiled and said nothing. Luo Ziqiang added, "Junior Brother, let me kindly tell you something. Sometimes, it’s necessary to spend a little where it’s due, otherwise... your life in the New Dragon Court might become very difficult." Lin Fan felt very displeased and asked, "Senior Brother, are you threatening me?" Luo Ziqiang shook his head and said, "No, I’m not threatening you, I’m just stating the facts!" Lin Fan smiled again and said, "Senior Brother, to be frank, I’m least afraid of threats! So, Senior Brother Luo, please feel free to do as you wish!"" Lin Fan effectively gave Luo Ziqiang an eviction notice. "Hmph!" Luo Ziqiang became even more angry, and coldly said, "Fine, very well, let’s wait and see!" After saying this, Luo Ziqiang flung his sleeves and stormed off angrily! Lin Fan watched Luo Ziqiang leaving, his face remaining expressionless. He knew that after today’s events, he had offended Luo Ziqiang. However, Lin Fan did not care; a Luo Ziqiang was not worth his concern, to be honest. Afterward, Lin Fan closed the door again, planning to have a good rest for the night, and start his cultivation from tomorrow onwards. Out of boredom, Lin Fan took out the Sky Star Token again. He remembered that there was a soul entity living inside the Sky Star Token, an ancient ancestor of the Sky Star Sect, and Lin Fan planned to inquire about some related information about the Sky Star Sect. "Uh?" But as soon as Lin Fan took out the Sky Star Token and began inspecting it, his eyebrows slightly furrowed, "There’s something wrong with this Sky Star Token; damn it, this isn’t my Sky Star Token, my actual Sky Star Token must have been switched, damn it, I’ve been duped!" "Snap!" With energy coursing through his hand, the "Sky Star Token" in his hand shattered into pieces. At this moment, Lin Fan’s face turned extremely ugly.
