"So, what was bound to happen finally did happen..."
With this thought in mind, Lin Xiuyuan slowly turned around and looked calmly at Han Chenhua, who was walking towards him.
He had some guesses about what was going on.
After all, the feud between him and the Han family was not as easily resolved as that between him and the Xu family.
A result must be determined!
On the main peak, he is a prodigy of the Heavenly Firmament, a prominent figure of the moment!
The Han family wanted to use their power to suppress him, and regardless of his background, his family rules alone were his greatest protection.
Therefore, if you want to get a result.
The only option is for Han Chenhua to personally take action and overpower him, or... be overpowered by him.
Only in this way can the matter between the two parties be resolved and brought to a close!
For the Han family, suppressing Lin Xiuyuan and boosting their influence is a necessary thing.
Because Lin Xiuyuan has already entered the game!
Because he has the identity of a member of the Zhou family's maternal lineage!
Regardless of the nature of their relationship, this status remains.
Only by suppressing Lin Xiuyuan can this matter be resolved, allowing the Han family to better lead the team.
Regardless of the outcome... as long as Lin Xiuyuan is kept in check, the team will be more united.
Conversely... with the mountain gate intact, this 'weed' cannot be completely burned away! At that time, it is very likely that the team that will take down the Zhou family together will be smaller.
After all, once the Zhou family's property is destroyed, the weeds cannot be completely burned away. When they grow back in the spring, it will be enough to cause a lot of trouble.
What's more, this 'weed' is actually such a prodigy... Once the spring breeze blows, it will grow into a towering tree!!
Although the outcome will be the same and will not affect the Han family too much, this is precisely why a result is needed. Therefore, there is no room for compromise between the two sides.
Lin Xiuyuan had naturally anticipated this and was pleased to see it.
For him, it would be better to put the matter to a temporary halt than to be constantly on guard, wary, and suspicious.
However, it came sooner than expected.
For now, his chances of winning are slim...
"I will be breaking through to the Upper Realm soon. Before that, let's settle our matter. Or do you feel it's unfair and want to fight when we reach the Purple Mansion stage?"
Han Chenhua strolled over, chuckled softly, and spoke with a condescending air and disdain.
"It's up to you!"
Upon hearing these words, Lin Xiuyuan stared back without hesitation, his gaze sharp and fearless.
A slight smirk played on his lips as he said casually, "The fairness you speak of? Is it like the 'fairness' of last time?"
Lin Xiuyuan sneered, emphasizing the word "fairness".
At this moment.
Those who witnessed this scene couldn't help but chuckle softly.
"Hehe, indeed. If it were as 'fair' as last time, would there be any need to fight? Wang An's own strength is enough to overcome the late Foundation Establishment stage. If he hadn't been a bit impatient and had played steadily, he would definitely have defeated Junior Brother Lin! It's just that he was too hasty in the end. He didn't expect Junior Brother Lin to have a Soul-Suppressing Ancient Treasure!"
"If even a pawn like Wang An was 'configured' in this way, how far would Han Chenhua's preparations go if he were to make his move?"
"How can this be considered fair? It's a competition with an extremely unequal disparity in skill!"
The whispers and murmurs made Han Chenhua's expression turn somewhat unpleasant, but he couldn't lash out.
Han Chenhua's expression darkened slightly as he stared intently at Lin Xiuyuan, and said coldly:
"I'm challenging you to a duel in front of everyone, so I won't resort to any tricks. I know you're hesitant to accept the challenge easily, so I'll give you the fairest treatment."
"In this challenge, all means are limited to your own abilities. Ancient treasures and spirit beasts are all forbidden; those who violate this rule will be considered losers. Rest assured, the magical artifacts will be limited to high-grade artifacts. Top-tier artifacts like the Lesser Five Elements Ring will not appear in this battle."
"In that case, do you dare to accept the challenge?"
"If you don't dare, bow down to me, Han, and to my Han family, and I will no longer hold you accountable!!"
Han Chenhua said coldly.
He is a prodigy and genius of the Yunxiao lineage, and has already reached the peak of Foundation Establishment!
Looking up at the main peak, there are hardly any rivals left!
Disdainful of external things, he was confident that his own combat strength was enough to overwhelm Lin Xiuyuan!
They originally thought Wang An was enough to suppress or even eliminate him... but they didn't expect that they had misjudged him; he was actually a monstrous genius!
Since this matter needs a resolution, let him provide one!
Whether it's suppressing Lin Xiuyuan or Lin Xiuyuan simply bowing down... for the Han family, it's a good outcome at the moment.
Eliminating Lin Xiuyuan has essentially become impossible.
Given Lin Xiuyuan's monstrous talent and current status, he is destined to die at the hands of outsiders, not within the sect.
"Is this fair?"
Lin Xiuyuan remained noncommittal and chuckled softly.
This is inherently unfair, regardless of any external factors, because there is a huge gap between the two people's levels of attainment.
One person has just entered the late stage of Foundation Establishment!
One person has been at the Foundation Establishment stage for many years, honing his foundation, waiting only to break through to the Upper Realm and reach the Golden Core Dao!
This is the biggest difference...
"In the next grand competition, let's settle this matter with a battle between us!"
Lin Xiuyuan did not choose to avoid the battle. He also needed this matter to come to an end. Without much consideration, he directly agreed in a deep voice.
Since the challenge has been postponed to the next competition, given his current abundant resources and his extremely high cultivation speed, he should be able to reach the advanced stage within ten years.
