"Hmm?"

Looking at Feng Che, who was trembling and yet refused to reveal the mastermind behind the scenes, Xu Fan slightly frowned.

Interrogation was something Xu Fan was always proficient at; once the Jade Silkworm was unleashed, the enemy had no choice but to beg for mercy.

However, for a minor figure like Feng Che, it wasn't worth Xu Fan summoning the Jade Silkworm. The Jade Silkworm had undergone significant evolution, and a minion in the Entering Dao Realm no longer held any allure for it.

Moreover, given that this was in the base, Xu Fan wouldn't resort to cruel means against Feng Che in front of everyone.

"It seems that our old friend is quite formidable, to the extent that even our genius dares not reveal his name."

"Within the base, only a few families possess such power, and those who can be in the same circle as our genius Feng Che are even fewer."

"Now, I'll give you two choices: either tell me that person's name and I'll let you leave unharmed, or you kneel down and slap yourself a hundred times, and I'll consider today's matter as if nothing happened."

Xu Fan's cold voice made everyone involuntarily tremble.

It's not just Xu Fan's methods, but also his scheming!

Just from Feng Che's behavior, Xu Fan deduced so much, making it truly frightening!

Xu Fan's inference was indeed correct; Feng Che, being one of the super-geniuses in the base, could be ordered by only a few people, and those who might have subtly influenced Feng Che to act were even fewer.

After Xu Fan's analysis, even the average students in the base could see that Feng Che was merely a pawn, and the real mastermind could only be one of two people!

It was either the prodigy from the Lan Family or the prodigy from the Luo Family!

Both the Lan Family and the Luo Family are Overlord Level Hidden World Families, holding a status above everyone else, and only those two could command Feng Che to do their bidding and keep Feng Che trembling in fear, unable to expose them when the plan was uncovered.

Slap! Slap! Slap!

Feng Che didn't hesitate for long, soon kneeling with a face full of despair at Xu Fan's feet, numbly slapping himself.

The once-famous genius title was officially stripped from Feng Che, and in the future, Feng Che would only be seen by everyone as the defeated who knelt in humiliation and slapped himself in front of Xu Fan.

Such an outcome is heart-wrenching, but everything today was Feng Che's own doing!

No one cast even a glance of sympathy at Feng Che, in fact, no one even spared him a look.

At this moment, everyone was staring at Xu Fan, eyes filled with excitement.

Originally, everyone thought today's farce would end with Xu Fan's intervention, but after Xu Fan's analysis, they realized the real show was only just beginning.

Regardless of whether the mastermind is from the Lan Family or the Luo Family, both are heavyweights.

The member from the Lan Family is always low-key, yet none dare to overlook their prowess, rumored to be able to contend with a Zhiwei Realm strongman!

And the member from the Luo Family is the complete opposite, extremely flamboyant, claiming to be invincible in the Vajra Realm!

These two true super-geniuses meeting Xu Fan would undoubtedly create fireworks!

"Instructor Xu, I've slapped myself a hundred times. Can I leave now?"

At Xu Fan's feet, the previously arrogant Feng Che, who didn't regard Xu Fan highly, now looked timid. Despite having slapped himself enough, he dared not rise.

"Of course."

Xu Fan chuckled lightly, seemingly having truly dismissed Feng Che's past wrongs as if they never happened, a faint smile on his face.

"Thank you, Instructor Xu, for sparing my life! Thank you! Thank you!"

Feng Che stood up in disgrace, continuously bowing deeply to Xu Fan in thanks, and staggered away in the opposite direction.

"Wait."

Just as Feng Che was about to walk far, Xu Fan's cold voice suddenly rang out again, causing Feng Che's whole body to tense up, his knees weak, nearly kneeling again.

"Instructor Xu, what... what else do you need?" Feng Che turned around, not daring to look up at Xu Fan, keeping his head lowered, his flushed face forced into an ugly smile.

"It's not much of a command, just inviting our genius to help me with a small favor."

Xu Fan's expression was indifferent, his voice calm yet carrying a trace of coldness, "Help me pass a message to the person behind you. I hope to see him at tomorrow's grand competition."

"How about it, are you willing to help me with this small favor?"

Feng Che nodded repeatedly in a low bow to Xu Fan, his posture lowered to the extreme, "Instructor Xu, rest assured, I will definitely pass the message, definitely..."

Feng Che bowed continuously as he fled towards the distance in disgrace.

All the onlookers finally couldn't help but erupt in shock.

Their surprise wasn't at Feng Che's disgrace; ever since Li Tao defeated Feng Che in one move, no one bothered with Feng Che anymore.

People only cared about the strong!

The shock was at Xu Fan's words.

Xu Fan's situation was clear to almost everyone in the base.

Not only had Xu Fan offended the families of Li, Dragon, and Phoenix, but he had also angered the higher-ups within the base, so much so that after the grand competition, Xu Fan would likely be expelled and hunted by various forces.

Yet, facing such dire straits, Xu Fan was completely unfazed, not backing down a step, and even publicly declaring he wanted those against him to participate in tomorrow's grand competition.

What does Xu Fan plan to do?

"Tomorrow's grand competition will surely bring about something big!"

Gazing at Xu Fan's calm face, everyone couldn't help but simultaneously have this thought.

…

The matter between Xu Fan and Feng Che quickly spread throughout the base.

The formidable strength and unyielding attitude of Xu Fan left many astounded, causing countless jealous individuals to gnash their teeth.

The most infuriated of all was Luo Yan, the prodigy from the Luo Family.

Initially, Luo Yan sent Feng Che merely to gauge Xu Fan's capabilities, to see if Xu Fan, after a month of seclusion, had the qualifications to compete with him.

However, Xu Fan openly embarrassed Feng Che and subtly deduced Luo Yan's identity.

Seeing Feng Che standing before him, face swollen, anger boiled uncontrollably in Luo Yan's heart.
