Legend of the Heavenly Fruit
Eps. 116 — Two Disputes

"Senior Xiao, I'm not sure about that..." Zhou Yuan scratched his nose with an awkward feeling, rejecting Xiao Fan's request.

"No need to worry, we only fight by relying on the physical without using the slightest amount of energy. I just want to see the abilities of someone who has become my grandson's teacher." Xiao Fan put on a hopeful smile.

Zhou Yuan increasingly hesitated, a match like this was indeed not a foreign thing to be done by a warrior in the martial world.

Usually a match that relied solely on physical strength aimed to gauge one's fighting prowess. Xiao Fan obviously wanted to test his abilities.

While Zhou Yuan was still thinking and likely to refuse, Xiao Fan suddenly gave his palm strike.

Zhou Yuan was startled and hurriedly greeted the site attack with his footprint. The two tread attacks collided, causing a loud sound after the air vibrations to the surroundings, Zhou Yuan and Xiao Fan were both pushed back due to the attack.

"Not bad, Yuan'er, you have a strong physique..." Xiao Fan checked his hand, the tread attack used 70% of his physical strength but Zhou Yuan was able to compensate easily.

"Senior Xiao, this is..." Zhou Yuan was shocked at Xiao Fan's sudden attack.

"You can't resist it, we're gonna play around here for a second..." After saying so Xiao Fan again charged towards Zhou Yuan.

Zhou Yuan had no other choice so welcomed the red-haired Grandfather's attack.

The two eunuchs who were looking at them from afar were startled when the two suddenly attacked each other, they ended up watching the match of Zhou Yuan and Xiao Fan who were exchanging attacks.

If it did not use its inner power, Xiao Fan's strength did not differ much from that of the swordsman who had reached the peak Golden Realm.

Zhou Yuan and Xiao Fan clashed against the tread attack quickly but from the two showed their strength was almost evenly matched.

After exchanging attacks of more than twenty Xiao Fan moves then increased his strength even higher, Xiao Fan thought at this level Zhou Yuan would not be able to accept his tread attack but it was unexpected that Zhou Yuan was still able to calm down and welcome any incoming attacks.

Xiao Fan frowned, not expecting Zhou Yuan to have any special physical strength.

As Xiao Fan was seen thinking, Zhou Yuan took the opportunity to twist his body and make a powerful kick.

Xiao Fan held back the swing of the kick with both hands but did not expect his body to remain pushed back.

"This child..."

Xiao Fan found it hard to hide the shock on his face, he did not expect Zhou Yuan to have this much physical strength. The two hands that were holding Zhou Yuan's kick were now in pain.

"Yuan'er, you made this old geezer almost die of surprise..." Xiao Fan smiled wryly.

Xiao Fan was a swordsman who had reached the Light Realm, the strength of his physical body had been strong and sturdy, should an ordinary punch not cause him any pain but it turned out not to be for Zhou Yuan's attack.

Zhou Yuan smiled awkwardly, indeed his current strength had improved greatly after refining a hundred percent level physical forging technique.

"I don't know how hard you've been training until it's this strong Yuan'er..." Xiao Fan smiled faintly then pulled out his sword. "We're quite comfortable now, how about we go straight to the main show."

"Senior Xiao, wouldn't it be better for us to use a wooden sword?" Zhou Yuan was quite surprised when he saw that Xiao Fan's sword was a cloud-grade heirloom, a high-level satisfied quality in the martial world.

"No need, just calm down, like before I won't use any inner power. You can use your heirloom too."

Zhou Yuan smiled faintly, pulling his father's heirloom.

In this match practice, Zhou Yuan could have pretended to lose and hid his strength but for some reason he was unwilling to do that.

The main reason was that Zhou Yuan wanted to see the limits of his abilities against Xiao Fan who was a hotshot figure in the Moon Empire, so he did not hesitate this time to attack him seriously.

Zhou Yuan who first attacked, played his sword nimbly while Xiao Fan smiled as he fended off every attack.

Xiao Fan's smile did not last long as he found Zhou Yuan's sword movements getting faster and having a movement that was hard to guess especially Zhou Yuan not only swung his sword but with his kick science.

Xiao Fan's heart beat faster as Zhou Yuan's attacks managed to push him further. Xiao Fan was intending to suppress Zhou Yuan's attack with his sword ability but let alone wanting to do so, Xiao Fan did not even have the time to strike back.

'This child, how many times should I be surprised by his martial ability...'

After continuously exchanging attacks Xiao Fan finally understood why Xiao Rou was so quick in learning swords. He had to admit that his swordsmanship and Zhou Yuan were too different.

Zhou Yuan continued to play his sword even faster until his attack was hard to see by his opponent's eyes until at one point, Xiao Fan's sword slipped out of his hand.

Xiao Fan was sculpting on the spot as his sword fell to the ground, not believing Zhou Yuan to have a sword skill of this height.

Xiao Fan, who had studied swordsmanship for a hundred years and was labeled as the number 2 swordsman in the Moon Empire, had a hard time accepting a boy who was only 15 years old to defeat him. This made the hundred-year-old grandfather shaken his soul.

Xiao Fan regained his senses then rubbed his slightly tangled face. Xiao Fan then looked at Zhou Yuan while trying to smile.

"Yuan'er, you're the youngest talented swordsman I've ever met, it's hard to have someone like you." Xiao Fan patted Zhou Yuan's shoulder.

Xiao Fan was sure that the one who taught Zhou Yuan the sword was not Zhou Bing, he knew very well the ability of his best friend's sword.

Xiao Fan guessed that someone had trained Zhou Yuan's sword secretly because it was impossible for one to have such a level of ability without a teacher.

Xiao Fan's conjecture was indeed not wrong, in fact Zhou Yuan was indeed patronized by a high-level swordsman who had scribbled history in the martial world several hundred years ago.

Master Zhou Yuan was the swordsman who created the Elemental Sword Technique, as he was the one that was divided into five parts and taught the five different clans.

"Yuan'er, this old man wants to ask you something and I hope to fulfill it..." Xiao Fan now spoke more casually, patting Zhou Yuan on the shoulder.

"What request is Senior?"

"Hm but before that I want you to promise to fulfill it."

"That's... Isn't it wise to promise something we don't know, I can't."

"Just relax, this request is easy, you can fulfill it at any time." Xiao Fan chuckled.

Zhou Yuan was silent for a moment before thinking and answering. "As long as it's within my reach, maybe I can promise to fulfill it."

Xiao Fan smiled widely. "Good, my request isn't hard and maybe you'll like it. Yuan'er, be my granddaughter's soul mate."

"It's..." Zhou Yuan was surprised, not expecting Xiao Fan to say this.

"How, it's not hard not to fulfill it?"

"Senior Xiao, isn't that too sudden." Zhou Yuan smiled wryly.

"Not really, I've been considering it since then and I think you're a suitable person who can marry Rou'er."

Zhou Yuan coughed softly, confused as to what kind of response he was going to respond to, but only then did someone say out loud.

"Brother Fan, are you crazy?!" The one who came was an older grandfather than Xiao Fan.

The grandfather was surprised not to play when Xiao Fan said he would match his grandson to Zhou Yuan.

"Brother Jian, why are you here?" Xiao Fan raised his eyebrows. "Have you been following me since?"

The newly arrived person was Yue Jian, Xiao Fan's best friend as well as the number 1 swordsman in the Moon Empire at the moment.

Xiao Fan's conjecture was indeed not entirely wrong as Yue Jian was indeed following him.

Yue Jian had been in this park for a long time, watching Zhou Yuan and Xiao Fan fight. The old man was clearly surprised by Zhou Yuan's abilities let alone his sword skills.

After witnessing Zhou Yuan's swordplay, Yue Jian was confident that his sword ability would lose if he had a direct match with the young man. Yue Jian certainly did not expect, his grandson's fiancee would be this talented.

"Fan, have you lost your mind, Yuan'er already has a fiancee and she is my granddaughter." Yue Jian would naturally not stay silent Zhou Yuan would be taken by the red-haired man.

Yue Jian was afraid that Zhou Yuan would switch and cancel his engagement because of Xiao Fan, upon seeing Zhou Yuan's talent, Yue Jian would not be willing to let go.

"Yuan'er, is it true that you already have a fiancee?" Xiao Fan glanced at the awkwardly smiling Zhou Yuan then replied with a soft nod.

"She said it, not me!" Yue Jian smiled triumphantly.

"No problem, Rou'er will be second." Xiao Fan still did not change his decision.

Yue Jian choked on his own breath, not expecting his best friend I would make that decision. He was now fully convinced that the red-haired creature in front of him had lost his mind.

"I won't let it, Yuan'er already owned Xiaxia. She'll be his legal and sole wife."

"Jian, you have to realize that times have changed compared to our lives, Yuan'er is a talented, handsome man, having more than one wife is not impossible for him..."

Yue Jian still did not accept even though the fact was indisputable, in the end the two grandfathers even argued.

Zhou Yuan who saw the two fighting massaged his aching head, he did not understand why this happened in his second life.
