At the same time, news of Lin Beifan defeating Luo Tianjun spread through the academy like a whirlwind.
"Do you know? Luo Tianjun lost when he was sparring with someone!"
"Luo Tianjun? The sword genius from the Sword Master Academy, the one who can hold his own against the prodigies on the Wind and Cloud Ranking?"
"That's right! He lost to Lin Beifan from the Talisman Master Academy in just two moves!"
"Lost in just two moves? How embarrassing! Who is Lin Beifan? I've never heard of him."
"Lin Beifan isn't really anyone important, but he has a beautiful junior sister named Lin Weiwei. Also, he's currently just a Rank Four Talisman Master!"
"A Rank Four Talisman Master defeated Luo Tianjun?"
"Don't think too much of it, it was just a verbal duel! Luo Tianjun stood there and got bombarded by the other person, so he ended up losing!"
"It's still impressive to defeat Luo Tianjun in a verbal duel. Do you think the title of prodigy is a joke?"
...
The students in the entire school were discussing it.
Normally, there were thousands of duels in the academy every day, and a single battle wouldn't attract much attention. But because one of the participants was the sword genius Luo Tianjun, it became the center of attention.
Luo Tianjun was a rising Transcendent Level prodigy, having advanced four ranks in just three months. He possessed extraordinary sword skills that could rival the prodigies on the Wind and Cloud Ranking, and his strength was comparable to a Rank Nine.
There were rumors that several small clans were annihilated because they coveted the secrets he possessed.
An elder once said that in the next 30 years, Luo Tianjun would surely dominate the world and become a trendsetter of the era.
And yet, such a prominent figure lost to a mere Rank Four Talisman Master. Can you imagine how surprising that is?
It feels like an ordinary commoner defeating an unparalleled master.
As a result, Lin Beifan once again soared to fame, becoming the center of everyone's attention.
School's top geniuses naturally paid attention, but their reactions varied.
"Lin Beifan? If he had defeated Luo Tianjun fair and square, I might have held him in high regard. But I heard he used some tricks, which is beneath him. Just a small Talisman Master, nothing to fear! I could break him with one punch!"
Iron Fist, ranked tenth on the Wind and Cloud Ranking, said.
He was a proud Body Refiner, only believing in his own body and fists. Although only at the 8th stage, he had already made a name for himself and ranked tenth on the school's Wind and Cloud Ranking, exuding an imposing aura.
"I fought against Luo Tianjun before, and yesterday's terror is beyond your imagination.
At that time, he was only at the 6th stage, while I was already at the peak of the 8th stage.
I used all my strength, but still couldn't defeat him.
He is a very admirable opponent.
Lin Beifan? Just a sly character.
If they were to clash head-on, I'm afraid he wouldn't even have the chance to take out his talisman and would already be dead under Luo Tianjun's sword!"
Mad Dragon, ranked eighth on the Wind and Cloud Ranking, said.
Although Luo Tianjun lost, he still had faith in him and regarded him as an admirable opponent.
As for Lin Beifan, he didn't care.
Many other geniuses expressed their opinions, and the majority of them were not optimistic, believing that Lin Beifan had resorted to tricks.
This competition was seen as a joke.
Not a joke about Lin Beifan, but a joke about Luo Tianjun. Opportunities to witness opponents of the same level embarrassing themselves were rare, so they wanted to seize the chance to mock Luo Tianjun mercilessly.
Lin Beifan, a nobody, was insignificant.
But among these geniuses, there was one person with a different opinion.
Xue Qiangwei, the captain of the Red Tasseled Spear Squad and ranked fourth on the genius list, was an exceptionally talented female knight.
With her red tasseled spear, she suppressed a group of geniuses, displaying outstanding strength.
As she looked at the information and played with the small wine glass in her hand, a beautiful curve formed on her heroic face. "Lin Beifan? Are you really just an ordinary Talisman Master? How could an ordinary 4th stage Talisman Master defeat Luo Tianjun? Sister doesn't believe it.
I'll meet you tomorrow! I hope you don't disappoint me!"
Among the astonished crowd, there was also a little beauty who was confused.
Lin Beifan and Luo Tianjun actually fought?
Lin Beifan actually became a Rank Four Talisman Master?
Luo Tianjun actually suffered a miserable defeat to Lin Beifan?
Is Lin Beifan really that strong?
Did this happen in a past life? Why do I have no recollection at all?
Is it my memory that's wrong, or did my arrival cause a butterfly effect?
This young beauty is called An Kexin, a small Alchemist from the Alchemy Academy.
But in reality, she has another identity, that of a reincarnator.
Yes, she has returned from a hundred years ago. She never expected to have such an encounter after her death.
For her, these hundred years have been like a magnificent and brilliant dream.
Shortly after the fourth spiritual energy tide, the Blue Star expanded a thousandfold, and the concentration of spiritual energy also reached a thousandfold.
The world underwent a great change, and countless talented individuals rose rapidly at this time, controlling the winds and dominating the world!
This is a golden century of turbulence and extraordinary talents!
Especially in the South River District, where the most talented individuals gathered, it became a place of brilliance for these talents!
Let's not talk about the talented individuals from other worlds, let's talk about the local ones.
The Dragon-slaying Sword Saint Luo Tianjun!
The Dark Witch Lin Weiwei!
The Invincible Godly Tycoon Jin Buhuan!
Bai Qingqing, the stunning chef!
These four individuals are all unrivaled geniuses from South River, capable of competing with the Apex Level geniuses from the outside world!
He is the most terrifying shadowy figure, the elusive hidden master, whose name is unknown, whose true face has never been seen, and whose identity remains a mystery, yet he is the strongest in this era!
Humanity has faced numerous crises from the encirclement of Demonic Beasts, and it was he who stepped in to suppress them!
Countless geniuses pale in comparison before him!
His strength can rival that of a Godfiend!
There is also a terrifying criminal organization, with each member possessing exceptional abilities, calling themselves the Reincarnators from the Reincarnation Hall. Their supreme leader is the Main God, specializing in robbery and assassination of geniuses.
In short, the future is boundless and exciting!
In this golden era, An Kexin is just a small Alchemist.
Her strength is not outstanding, her alchemy skills are average, but she lives a comfortable life. Sometimes she envies the geniuses who compete in the heavens, commanding the world and controlling everything like them.
But after thinking about it, she gave up. She doesn't have the talent or the destiny for it, so she decides to live a simple and honest life.
However, a great war breaks out later, and she fails to escape in time and dies in the aftermath of the battle, filled with regret as she departs.
How great would it be if I had extraordinary strength?
I wouldn't die so miserably!
Even a mere aftermath could kill me!
So, upon being reborn, I swear not to be a bystander anymore!
She wants to become stronger, constantly growing stronger, to become a Transcendent Level powerhouse like the Dark Witch and the stunning chef!
My fate is in my hands, not in the heavens!
