While Xu Fan absorbed the Cold Essence, replenishing the Spiritual Power that had been exhausted within him, he made a conjecture in his heart that left him chilled to the bone, trembling with rage.

Beside him, Xia Xiaodie thought something had happened to Xu Fan. Her small face was full of anxiety, and finally, she gritted her teeth and hugged Xu Fan tightly.

Xia Xiaodie could feel how cold Xu Fan was, so she used her own body warmth to warm him.

Inside this Huang Family palace, each step was full of danger, but while holding Xu Fan, Xia Xiaodie felt an unparalleled sense of security.

Looking at Xia Xiaodie, Xu Fan eventually sighed and put his thoughts about Xia Hengzhou aside for the time being.

The thoughts earlier were just Xu Fan's speculations, and even if they were true, because of Xia Xiaodie, Xu Fan couldn't do anything to Xia Hengzhou.

Everyone present would sometimes look up at the two streaks of light in the sky, sometimes at the battle between Huang Quan and Qu Granny, and sometimes at Xu Fan, marveling at how strange and unpredictable the world was.

Just earlier, Xu Fan was struggling desperately on the brink of death. But with the sudden appearance of the old undying, the situation became murky, and now Xu Fan had a completely solid opportunity to survive, and a huge one at that!

Zhou Shi'nian was watching the people fighting in the arena with extreme tension. This battle would decide Xu Fan's fate, and it was clear Zhou Shi'nian did not want Xu Fan to die.

Beside him, the old monk had closed his eyes, his expression extraordinarily calm, leaving his thoughts unreadable.

As for Arthur, he had finally reached an agreement with Avril and released her.

Arthur had pulled out all the stops to stretch the conversation from the Renaissance to World War II, yet Xu Fan had not died, and the situation had taken a favorable turn, almost driving Arthur to collapse! Avril also realized Arthur was stalling for time and was about to explode, so Arthur was left with no choice but to release her.

Once out, Avril's big sky-blue eyes darted around, searching for Xu Fan's figure. Seeing Xu Fan safe and sound, Avril's face lit up with joy. But upon seeing Xia Xiaodie by Xu Fan's side, a twinge of anxiety struck Avril's heart.

For some reason, Avril felt a bit envious of Xia Xiaodie at that moment. Such an outstanding man was willing to die for her, and after enduring countless hardships, they finally ended up together. There was probably nothing in the world more blissful than this, right?

Avril stopped her approach toward Xu Fan and stood silently next to Arthur, her head lowered, lost in thought.

Seeing Avril like this, Arthur sighed, about to offer some comfort when suddenly everyone around them let out a collective gasp. It seemed the results of the fight in the arena were gradually becoming clear.

This was never a fair fight, just like when Xu Fan faced the Huang Family alone. Huang Wandi's Cultivation Level was naturally inferior to the old undying, and the reason he could persist was simply that the old undying had not been going all out, while Huang Wandi was fighting desperately!

Yet even so, as time passed, Huang Wandi had completely fallen into a disadvantage. His clothes were already torn to shreds, with bloodstains on his chest, and blood at the corner of his mouth, looking utterly disheveled.

On the other side, the situation was even clearer. The six Vajra Realm experts of the Huang Family seemed like cannon fodder before the three Vajra Realm Peak experts from Qu Ying, now all laying unconscious on the ground.

As for Huang Quan and Huang Quan, both also of Vajra Realm Peak, they were barely holding on under the siege of Qu Ying's three people. Huang Quan exposed a flaw and was struck on the shoulder by Liu Rufeng. At the moment of impact, Liu Rufeng slightly retracted her strength, turned the blade, and knocked Huang Quan unconscious.

The reason Huang Quan and Huang Quan could hold out until now was largely due to their extremely tacit cooperation. Now with one fallen, the other's fate was self-evident. After being slammed by Qu Ying's three people, he also promptly passed out.

"Gongsun!"

Having dealt with the Huang Family crowd, Zhao Jie's eyes shifted, discovering the unconscious Gongsun Qin, rushing over to check her pulse and feed her an elixir, finally relaxing and turning to glare at Xu Fan.

However, after seeing Xu Fan covered in blood, Zhao Jie thought better of confronting him.

Seizing the opportunity, Xu Fan stepped forward, smiling at Qu Ying, "Godmother, you're amazing! You took care of the whole Huang Family in just a few moves!"

Qu Ying gave Xu Fan a reproachful look, but a smile tugged at her lips, "Don't flatter your godmother! No matter how amazing I am, I'm not as incredible as you, single-handedly invading this Huang Family palace and still surviving till now."

Liu Rufeng even mockingly said to Xu Fan, "You're just like that old undying when he was young. Once you get stubborn, not even nine bulls can pull you back!"

Beside Xu Fan, Xia Xiaodie respectfully bowed to both, thanking them for saving her life. Quickly, Qu Ying helped Xia Xiaodie up.

After exchanging pleasantries, Xu Fan signaled to Liu Rufeng with a look, and the two discreetly took a few steps aside.

Lowering his voice, Liu Rufeng asked Xu Fan, "Kid, what's up? Even keeping it from your godmother?"

Xu Fan wasn't hiding it from Qu Ying; he just didn't want Xia Xiaodie to overhear. Now, Xu Fan also lowered his voice, "Senior Liu, was the one who informed you people named Xia?"

Liu Rufeng shook his head, "Not sure, it was a man in black, very powerful."

Very powerful?

Xia Hengzhou's power should be in the Late Stage Vajra Realm, while Liu Rufeng's power is at Vajra Realm Peak. Could the man in black not be Xia Hengzhou?

Xu Fan shook his head, no longer dwelling on this issue, instead asking Liu Rufeng, "Senior Liu, what is this Earth List thing? How did I end up on it?"

"The Earth List ranks the potential of young cultivators worldwide, under the age of twenty. After you killed three barons, you entered the Earth List at number 298!"

"Two hundred ninety-eight?"

Liu Rufeng nodded succinctly, "Yes, third from the bottom!"

Xu Fan was speechless, thinking it might have been better not to appear on this Earth List at all, as now the world knew he was ranked third from the bottom.

Seeing Xu Fan's dejected expression, Liu Rufeng laughed heartily, patting Xu Fan on the shoulder, "Out of who knows how many cultivators in the world, being third from the bottom is already something we're very pleased with!"

The reason Xu Fan's ranking was so low was largely due to the help of the Mechanical Warrior. But Liu Rufeng believed that after today, Xu Fan's ranking would surely soar, possibly even reaching the top ten!

Entering Dao Realm Peak, despite being encircled by many, he killed nearly ten Vajra Realm experts! Even when angering a Zhiwei Realm expert, he survived!

Such achievements left even someone like Liu Rufeng, who was used to witnessing geniuses, utterly astonished!
