Wang Lei immediately pulled back with his Drill Rhino, creating distance between him and Xiao Huo.
Lin Fan didn't make a move as he let him draw back. Since his opponent had shown him respect, of course he would give him respect back, giving him a chance to have a fair fight.
Wang Lei now felt a bit of regret, but also a bit of excitement over his decision to challenge Lin Fan. He had never faced someone who was the same age and had completely dominated him like this like Lin Fan had done.
Wang Lei could feel his blood boiling and he could sense that he was being pushed to his limits, bringing his power to another level.
Since he was the one who had asked for this duel, of course Wang Lei couldn't back down even though he knew that he couldn't win this fight. Still he steeled his heart before deciding to charge forward while coordinating with his Drill Rhino. Gathering all his life energy, he wrapped it around the Drill Rhino to form a layer of armour while also gathering it at the tip to increase the Drill Rhino's penetrating power.
Lin Fan was impressed by the level of coordination Wang Lei had with his pet, but still he wouldn't let him win that easily.
Lin Fan had also been working on coordinating with his pet, but so far he had only come up with a single move with Xiao Huo, but it did remind him of a special move for a certain captain back on earth.
With a mental order to Xiao Huo, Xiao Huo gave a cry before flying onto Lin Fan's back and continuously releasing flames that wrapped around him perfectly without burning him.
The flames that seemed to wrap around him like a layer of fiery armour before gathering slowly into his fist.
As both sides continued to gather their life energy, it seemed like they would end this fight in a single clash.
Once they had finished gathering their life energy, Lin Fan and Wang Lei exchanged a glance. Like there was a tacit understanding between the two of them, they suddenly charged at each other at the same time.
At the same time, they screamed out the names of their attacks.
"Shining Drill!"
"Phoenix Punch!"
There was a bright light that came out of the tip of the Drill Rhino's horn before it formed a little cone of light at the tip of the horn.
As for Lin Fan, the flames around his fists seemed like they were transforming as they took the shape of a bird that wrapped around his fists.
The two attacks clashed against each other, but there was no contest at all as the cone of light was shattered to pieces and the waves of flames carried Wang Lei to the other side of the arena.
Wang Lei struggled to stand, but he stabilized himself after a few seconds. There was a sliver of blood that came out of the corner of his mouth, but his injuries weren't serious since Lin Fan had held back at the last second.
This was a duel between men, this wasn't a fight to the death. Lin Fan wouldn't force Wang Lei into a corner.
Wang Lei knew that he had been beaten, so he calmly walked back to the center of the arena where Lin Fan was waiting.
When Wang Lei came back, the first thing he did was cup his hands and give a slight bow to Lin Fan, "Owner Lin, it has been an honour. I thank you for giving me the chance to fight you."
Lin Fan was someone who treated others how they treated him. Since he was shown respect, of course he would return it.
Lin Fan also cupped his hands and said, "Young Master Wang, it was also quite the learning experience being able to spar with you. If possible, we should find time to do it again."
Wang Lei broke out in laughter, "Are you sure you don't want another chance to beat me up? What young master? Owner Lin has no need to be this formal, you can just call me Brother Wang."
Lin Fan revealed a smile, "Brother Wang is the one who was formal in the first place, you can also just call me Brother Lin."
Wang Lei was really similar to Boss Gao when it came to personality, but of course there was a difference when it came to talent between the two of them. Boss Gao was in his thirties and he was still in the Silver Realm, while Wang Lei was in his early twenties and he was already in the Gold Realm.
But Wang Lei was someone who was direct and treated others with respect, so he was definitely someone that Lin Fan could get along with.
They chatted for a bit before Wang Lei said, "Brother Lin, if possible, do you have time to come visit our Wang Family?"
Lin Fan fell into thought for a bit before saying, "Alright, when I have time, I'll come visit you."
Lin Fan really hoped that the Wang Family wasn't like the Gao Family, he really hoped that they were just like Wang Lei and he could become friends with them.
Since they had reached an agreement, they exchanged contact information before Wang Lei surrendered.
During this time, the crowd was completely filled with silence. They couldn't believe what they had just witnessed!
This was a fight between Gold Realm Experts which was something that most of them would never have the chance to see in their entire lives.
It took awhile for the host to react, but soon he shouted, "The winner is Lin Fan and Luo Qing!"
Wang Lei's female partner came over and checked over his wounds, but Wang Lei just waved her off. Wang Lei didn't forget to introduce her, "This is Yin Hua, she is my childhood friend and my fiancee."
Yin Hua gave a polite bow to Lin Fan, but he didn't miss the slight cold gaze in her eyes.
Based on the aura that came from her, Lin Fan was almost certain that she was even stronger than Wang Lei. The aura that came from her was almost comparable to the aura Xiao Huo released when he transformed.
But nothing happened in the end and Wang Lei left.
Lin Fan and Luo Qing were sent back to the waiting area and after a few minutes of resting, they were brought back to the stage.
No one dared to jeer at Lin Fan this time, but of course they still wouldn't cheer for someone who had stolen their goddess. Still, his display of power had brought a few people to his side and he had obtained a few fans who cheered for him.
But compared to the people who cheered for their opponents, these few cheers were drowned out.
Lin Fan could tell from this person's aura that he was the same was Wang Lei, an expert in the Gold Realm and based on his age, he should be the young master of a noble family like Wang Lei. However, this young master's personality was completely different from Wang Lei's. If it had to be described, it was actually the exact opposite of Wang Lei's personality.
The moment this young master saw Lin Fan, the first thing he did was give a cold snort as he said, "So you're the one who beat that trash Wang Lei?"
Lin Fan was confused by this, but he still defended his new friend, "Who are you to call Wang Lei trash?"
The young master revealed an arrogant appearance and said, "Trash, you dare talk back to me?"
Lin Fan deeply knit his brows as he was confused by this.
Most of the noble families should know who he was and the ones that didn't should have heard from the other nobles, so it was strange that a noble young master was treating him like this.
Even the ones that he was enemies with were weary around him, but this young master was openly hostile with him.
Did they know each other? Was there some previous grudge between them?
Lin Fan wanted to ask him why he was acting this way, but he didn't get a chance.
The host had finished introducing Lin Fan and Luo Qing, so he shouted, "Now, it's time to begin!"
The moment the host started the fight, the proud young master flew out, sending a punch right at Lin Fan's head.
