But after a few seconds, Lord Feng came back to his senses.
After quickly thinking about it, Lord Feng didn't really find it strange.
Lord Feng gave a chuckle and said, "It seems like your master really does treasure you, he even gave you one of his personal pets."
Then Lord Feng looked over Xiao Huo and his eyes lit up, "Oh, ho, it's a pet with a pure phoenix bloodline, that really is quite rare. I was just missing a good pet and since you're bringing one to me, of course I'll take it as a greeting gift."
Lin Fan narrowed his eyes and said, "With just you?"
Lord Feng said in a confident voice, "You're nothing more than an upstart, you have no idea what a real Platinum Realm Expert is like."
Lin Fan said in an equally confident voice, "Then why don't you show me?"
Lord Feng turned back to the elders and said, "Alright, I'll give you one last chance to redeem yourselves. Take care of that kid while I take care of his pet, you pieces of trash can at least do that, right?"
The elders quickly nodded their heads while kneeling as great elder Gao said, "Of course Lord Feng, we'll take care of him right now."
Then all the elders gathered behind great elder Gao in an array, gathering all their energy together behind great elder Gao. The energy continued to flow through each part of the array before finally channeling into great elder Gao.
When great elder Gao released his life energy this time, it was a rich golden colour with traces of white in it. With all the energy of the elders gathered together in that array, it had pushed great elder Gao into the peak Gold Realm.
Lord Feng was the one that moved first since he needed to take care of the phoenix before leaving the others to take care of Lin Fan. Lord Feng gathered the wind and created a divider between Lin Fan and the phoenix, using the wind to guide the phoenix to the side.
Lin Fan watched this happen, but he didn't have Xiao Huo stop it at all. Lin Fan just had Xiao Huo take care of Lord Feng while he prepared to take on the elders.
Gao Zhuang on the side was prepared to come over to help, but Lin Fan shook his head at him and Boss Gao.
Lin Fan could have had them help, but he wanted to test his own power first.
He knew that he couldn't match a Platinum Realm expert, but he wanted to see if he could fight someone in the peak Gold Realm.
Once he saw that Lord Feng was taking care of the phoenix, great elder Gao flew out at Lin Fan with his fists raised.
Great elder Gao knew that this was his final chance, so he spared no expenses at all as he used his strongest technique. Lightning wrapped around his fists as they flew through the air towards Lin Fan.
Lin Fan just calmly gathered his life energy around his fist before punching out to match great elder Gao's punch. Even if Lin Fan wanted to use a special move, he didn't have one in the end.
He had exchanged for several techniques back when he left the planar crack, but he found that none of them could match his cultivation technique. In the end, the only move that he had was gather his power and punch out.
When the two fists clashed, neither side backed down as waves of gold life energy spread in all directions.
Once the clash was over, both sides stood firm.
Lin Fan had a surprised look while great elder Gao had a look of fear in his eyes.
Just how strong was this kid's body? It had actually blocked an attack from an expert in the peak Gold Realm?
Lin Fan was surprised since he never expected his physique to be this strong. He already knew it was strong with how much beating he had taken from Angela, but he never expected it to be this strong.
The sad thing was that Lin Fan was still underestimating his physique since he could take the attack of a Legendary Realm Expert just with his physique.
However, great elder Gao didn't give up as lightning wrapped around his fists and he continued to punch out at Lin Fan. Since one punch didn't work, that meant that he would keep punching until it did!
Lin Fan didn't back down as he matched great elder Gao punch for punch.
But after going for over thirty rounds, Lin Fan realized that while his physique was strong, his life energy was still a problem. He still wasn't strong enough, so he didn't have enough stamina and eventually he was forced a step back since he was slowly running out of life energy.
He gathered his energy once again and forced great elder Gao back before jumping away.
This wasn't the way to keep fighting since he would eventually be forced back, so he had no choice but to reveal another one of his trump cards.
Pretending to make a few seals with his hand, he then had Brainy activate the parasite seeds that he had placed in the second and fourth elder earlier.
The seeds hadn't fully spread and they weren't strong enough to completely control the second and fourth elder, but they were still strong enough to control their movements to a certain extent.
Once the second and fourth elder were controlled, Brainy had them disrupt the array by going against the flow of life energy.
Great elder Gao immediately noticed that something was wrong and turned back to see the second and fourth elder jumping out to attack him, to which he immediately moved out of the way.
But then he saw the second and fourth elder move over to Lin Fan. The moment they arrived in front of Lin Fan, they turned and stood in front of him, blocking great elder Gao from reaching him.
Great elder Gao shouted at the two of them, "What are you two doing? Get out of the way!"
The second and fourth elder both had pained expressions on their faces, but they didn't move at all. The second elder said, "We can't control our bodies, we don't know what's going on!"
Great elder Gao saw Lin Fan still moving his hands to form fake seals and he shouted, "You, just what are you doing to them! Fight me fair and square!"
Lin Fan just smiled and said, "Now, whatever do you mean? I'm not doing anything."
Great elder Gao was confused why this was happening, but then after releasing his spiritual senses, he realized something. Lin Fan was actually using a spiritual technique to control the bodies of the second and fourth elder. He could feel the waves of spiritual energy around the second and fourth elder.
While great elder Gao was at a loss as to what to do, on the side of Lord Feng, he was actually gaining the upper hand against the Xiao Huo.
Xiao Huo had just advanced to the Platinum Realm not that long ago, so his control of the power of laws couldn't compare to Lord Feng who had reached the Platinum Realm a long time ago.
Lord Feng used his mastery of laws to slowly push back Xiao Huo's flames until Xiao Huo's flames couldn't reach him any longer.
As Xiao Huo was pushed back further and further, eventually it had no choice but to retreat back to Lin Fan.
It was only then that Lord Feng noticed the second and fourth elder standing in front of Lin Fan.
Lord Feng said in a cold voice, "Now even you two are betraying me?"
Great elder Gao quickly said, "My lord, it isn't like that. This kid is using a strange technique to control Old Second and Old Fourth."
Lord Feng said in a surprised voice, "Strange technique?" Then he released his spiritual senses and noticed the strange spiritual energy around them.
Lord Feng stroked his chin and said, "Ho, a spiritual technique. That truly is something rare. Kid, you really are a treasure trove, I wonder what else you have on you."
But even though Xiao Huo had been pushed back, Lin Fan was still strangely calm.
Lin Fan had already expected this to happen, it really was hard to fight someone who had been in the Platinum Realm for a long time. However, since one pet couldn't do it, he would use a second one.
Lin Fan raised his hand and gave a snap, summoning another pet out of his pet space.
What came out was a little lizard.
