Lin Fan didn't go right back to studying the fountain, but rather he turned his attention to the group of young masters that were standing around him before finally turning his attention to Wang Jian.
He could tell that this person didn't have any ill will, but he also didn't want to deal with him right now since there was something more pressing. However, based on the battle intent that he was releasing, it was clear that he wouldn't back down that easily.
There was still one thing that was on the back of his mind, he wanted to know how they had come into this place in the first place.
Could it be that there were those among them that knew how to read Chinese?
If that was the case, how were they able to learn this language?
This was related to the very reason that Lin Fan was brought to this world for, so naturally he would be very curious about this.
As Wang Jian approached Lin Fan, he could feel the pressure that came from him.
It wasn't a pressure that came from his cultivation since as far as Wang Jian could tell, Lin Fan's cultivation was below his. This was a kind of cultivation that came naturally in terms of battle intent.
As someone who craved battles, Wang Jiang naturally had a strong battle intent that he could use to pressure other people, but Lin Fan was on a completely different level. He could tell that he definitely would never reach the same level as Lin Fan because to reach Lin Fan's level, he would have had to start fighting even before he was born.
As for how Lin Fan got that battle intent, it was the same as his killing intent, it had been trained in the many battles that he had undergone in the cultivation realms.
In terms of combat experience, there were few people that could match him since there were few people that fought as many battles as him. Most people spent their time cultivating and even those that did fight battles continuously, most of them wouldn't survive to reach the same level as Lin Fan.
Of course, there were a few that did and they were known as some of the strongest experts in the entire universe…
Rather than feeling pressured, Wang Jian was filled with excitement the moment he felt this pressure. He could tell that this was someone who he could go all out against, someone who could push him to his limits and let him break through to the next realm, which was what he craved with each battle.
It was just too bad that Lin Fan wasn't in the mood to fight at all.
Mo Ze Chen could clearly tell what Lin Fan was thinking since he had gotten better at reading Lin Fan after everything that they had gone through together. So he came forward and said with a smile, "This brother, how about we talk…"
But before Mo Ze Chen could even finish, Wang Jian had already pulled out his sword and jumped into the air, slashing down at Lin Fan.
Lin Fan looked at him and it was like he was moving in slow motion, so Lin Fan was able to easily move to the side to dodge this. However, this was exactly what Wang Jian had expected Lin Fan to do.
As soon as his sword came down, his wrists immediately twisted and another slash came right back up, perfectly aimed at Lin Fan's neck with a speed that was even faster than the downwards slash.
Lin Fan slightly knitted his brows when he saw this.
He had to admit that this kid was better than he had expected and it seemed that he had to get a bit more serious.
He also had the right to call this young man a kid because mentally, he was twice his age since he had the memories of two lives, both of which had lived to around the same age.
So put together, his mental age should be considered over forty years old which he considered to be middle aged according to the age standard of earth.
Lin Fan didn't hesitate at all as he brought his right hand up to where his neck was and when it came up, there was a pure white dagger that appeared in his hand.
When the giant blade that Wang Jian was holding clashed with the tiny dagger that Lin Fan was holding, there was a powerful shockwave that spread out around them. This lasted for all of two seconds before Wang Jian was suddenly forced back two steps while Lin Fan just stood in place, like he wasn't affected by Wang Jian's attack at all.
After taking those two steps back and stabilizing himself, Wang Jian suddenly spat out a mouthful of blood onto the ground.
When all the young masters around saw this, they couldn't help being shocked by this.
That was right, with just a single blow, Wang Jian had suffered internal injuries while Lin Fan stood there like nothing was wrong.
They couldn't help worrying after seeing this since if even the strongest of them couldn't stop Lin Fan, what would stop Lin Fan from taking care of all of them if he really wanted to?
The third ranked member of the Decagram was even more anxious because for him, Wang Jian had been his goal. Ever since he had fought him for the first and last time, he had set Wang Jian as his goal since that was how deep of an impression Wang Jian left on him. It wasn't just fear, but also admiration that he felt for Wang Jian.
But now that he was seeing Wang Jian being pushed back, he couldn't stop the conflicted feelings inside of him from coming out as he shouted, "Wang Jian, what are you doing? This isn't the normal you? Why aren't you taking him down with a single swing?"
But Wang Jian didn't have time to care about this person, in fact he didn't even remember him since he had fought too many people. Anyone that was in the Decagram with him wasn't even worth remembering for him since they were just too weak.
However, this man in front of him was different because for the first time, he felt something different. Instead of being able to dominate this person easily, he was actually the one being dominated.
This feeling was strange, but also exciting.
It was definitely not a feeling that he had ever felt before.
However, Lin Fan wasn't feeling that same way.
To him, it was a waste of time for him to fight Wang Jian since he was still technically on a clock. After the time wasted in the crypt, there was only a bit over two hours left before they were automatically pulled out of this place.
However, even with that clock running down on him, Lin Fan hadn't been able to find a way to progress at all.
Instead of wasting time with Wang Jian, he wanted to keep studying this fountain to see if he could find any clues.
After Wang Jian had stabilized himself, Lin Fan actually took the initiative to speak as he said, "There's no reason for us to fight right now."
Everyone was surprised when they heard this since for most of them, it was the first time that they had heard Lin Fan speak. For a few of them, they had noticed when Lin Fan had come into the room with Qiao Yi Fei and had heard his voice when he said a few words to her.
They had thought that he was just a simple nobody that she had been forced to escort, but now it seemed like he deserved having such an escort.
But Wang Jian of course wasn't in a mood to listen to any of this.
He had finally found someone who was worthy of being his opponent, someone that could make his blood boil like this to fight, so how could he let him go?
Wang Jian wouldn't have any of it as he said, "None of this is important." After saying this, his eyes turned sharp as he looked at Lin Fan and said, "All that I care about right now is fighting you."
Seeing that look that Wang Jian had, Lin Fan couldn't help giving a sigh since he knew what it meant. He had seen plenty of people like this back on earth, but it was too bad that he didn't have security to deal with them here.
Since that was the case, the simplest thing that Lin Fan could do was restrain Wang Jian so he wouldn't be a problem anymore.
But before that, he would make sure that he would have a little soak first to cool down that temper of his.
With this idea in mind, Lin Fan just stood there waiting for Wang Jian to come, but Wang Jian didn't charge forward right away. Rather, he took a step back and raised the sword parallel to his face, pointing the tip of the sword right at Lin Fan.
As he stood there, he gathered all the life energy that he had into his sword, creating physical wisps of sword energy that even people without cultivation could see. It was clear how much he had dedicated his life to the sword and how deep his understanding of sword laws was, so it could be imagined how sharp this single stab would be.
After he finished gathering all his energy, Wang Jian took a step forward and instantly disappeared.
