Extreme Almightiest Young Master-Chapter 1751 - 1733: Zhang Bufan’s Little Schemes

Zhang Bufan enjoyed dealing with those Outer Sect disciples yesterday, so this morning he felt quite invigorated and went straight to the training ground intending to work on those disciples again. However, upon arriving at the training ground, he suddenly saw Fang Yan, and instantly his mood soured. The experience of the past two days told him that if Fang Yan was here, his plan to handle the Outer Sect disciples was sure to fail.

If he were to force the issue, it was likely he would embarrass himself. But as an Inner Sect disciple, he couldn’t physically discipline the Outer Sect disciples; otherwise, he would have dealt with Lin Feng long ago. This frustration was more than he could bear, and if he had known it would be like this, he would have never come to the Outer Sect to lead these disciples.

"Why are you here? Didn’t you say you could skip all trainings?" Zhang Bufan asked Fang Yan with a very aggrieved tone, his teeth grinding audibly, wishing he could handle this damned guy right away!

"I’m just idling around today, and considering I shouldn’t disconnect from the crowd, I’ve returned." Fang Yan answered with a smile as he looked at Zhang Bufan.

Just idling around...

Hearing Fang Yan say this, Zhang Bufan felt so enraged he could spit blood. What does idling around mean? This obviously meant he was opposed to him, completely undermining Zhang Bufan’s authority as a coach! But until he could think of a good solution, Zhang Bufan genuinely wasn’t planning on stirring up anything with Lin Feng again; he didn’t want to once again lose face in front of these Outer Sect disciples.

With this thought, Zhang Bufan said coldly to everyone, "Today’s training will consist of one thing: individual cultivation. If you encounter anything unclear or confusing, wait until tomorrow when I’m here, and ask me."

After saying this, Zhang Bufan left without turning back, but his face now looked extremely grim, thinking to himself that this damned Fang Yan, if he ever found the chance, he would definitely deal with this damned guy!

Watching Zhang Bufan leave in front of their eyes left everyone stunned; no one expected such a situation to occur. Thinking to themselves, Fang Yan was amazing; originally, they thought they would surely suffer today, but with Fang Yan’s arrival, Zhang Bufan was directly enraged and left. This was simply delightful!

"Fang Yan, you’re amazing!"

"Fang Yan, you’re really impressive!"

"You made Zhang Bufan run away; did you see Zhang Bufan’s face? It’s too funny!"

...

Now everyone was truly overjoyed; they were utterly frustrated with Zhang Bufan, still puzzled why the higher-ups sent Zhang Bufan to be their coach. Now that Lin Feng managed to get Zhang Bufan to comply, their coming days would be much more comfortable.

"You don’t need to be so happy, I’m simply keeping you from getting involved. Stay focused on your cultivation; after all, only by improving your strength is there a real path forward. Don’t forget we still have assessments, and getting into the Inner Sect can only rely on your efforts; no one can help you." Lin Feng said at this time, signaling with a wave of his hand. He meant it sincerely, not wanting his fellow disciples to relax; enhancing one’s own strength at all times is foundational, only constant progress is the right path.

"Right, let’s go cultivate!"

"We need to improve our strength too!"

"For the Inner Sect assessment, we must strive hard!"

...

Upon hearing Fang Yan’s words, everyone instantly became serious and stated their intents. They all understood Lin Feng was very right; to advance into the Inner Sect, only enhancing one’s own strength was the real path. After expressing their thoughts, they immediately went off to find places to cultivate, now being Inner Sect disciples of the Divine Sword Sect, they must cultivate accurately the Divine Sword Heaven-Eroding Technique.

Watching everyone go off to cultivate, Fang Yan gave a glance to Qin Kun and Wu Shan, signaling them to come over. These two naturally saw Fang Yan’s cue, walked to Fang Yan’s side, both puzzled as they looked at Fang Yan, unclear about what he wanted to tell them.

"You usually follow everyone in cultivation as well. If Zhang Bufan tries any tricks again, reach out to me, I’ll deal with him." Fang Yan spoke these words, then immediately left, for he had his own matters to attend to, needing to heal his injuries before anything else. Only when his injuries were better could his strength recover somewhat, providing him with some ability for self-preservation here.

Though nothing else had occurred yet, Fang Yan was sure Zhang Bufan wouldn’t be content, so he was mentally prepared, prioritizing strength recovery. As for the so-called Divine Sword Heaven-Eroding Technique, in his eyes, it was very ordinary, barely worth mentioning. His only reason for cultivating it was due to his necessity to blend within the Divine Sword Sect; otherwise, he wouldn’t even bother cultivating.

Qin Kun and Wu Shan exchanged looks, then together nodded, after which they both went off to cultivate.

On the other side, Fang Yan returned to his dwelling and began cultivating diligently. Once he closed his eyes, he started contemplating the events of recent days. After thinking for a while, he still felt entering the Inner Sect was most crucial, but given his current strength, even if he entered the Inner Sect, it would probably be very dangerous. Concluding, he suddenly had an idea, instantly linking his thoughts with Lin Feng’s thinking, his mind flashing, and transmitting the events of the past days to Lin Feng.

"Main body, do you think I should maintain a low profile during the following process? I feel that being so high-profile, as you say, is not safe."

"Your goal is to enter the Inner Sect, become a core disciple or someone’s personal disciple, enter the core circle. If you don’t show your true talent, it will delay time. As long as you’re not overly flamboyant, it’ll be fine. You mentioned safety, you can rest assured about that; within the Sect, Zhang Bufan is impossible to make a move against you, even other Outer Sect disciples wouldn’t dare act against you."

"If that’s the case, that’s much better."

"You need to be careful of two people: one is Fang Zheng from the Fang Family, you haven’t noticed his gaze on you, and the other is Wu Kexiong. Both, like Fang Zheng, want to kill you. They don’t dare act openly, they’ll certainly prepare some tricks; just guard against them."

"Understood, isn’t Zhang Bufan to be guarded against?"

"Guard him for what? His attempts to use various tactics can make you stand out even more in front of people; don’t tell me you lack confidence to continue embarrassing him."

"Uh, it does indeed seem that way. Keeping someone who keeps failing publicly is not bad; this way, it can attract more attention from above."

"You need to quickly master the Divine Sword Heaven-Eroding Technique and Fang Family’s Dominating Heaven Divine Art; avoid exposing weaknesses, and once you cultivate these methods to the extreme, you can act impressive and make the higher-ups pay more attention to you. Both the Divine Sword Heaven-Eroding Technique and Dominating Heaven Divine Art are not particularly good methods; I estimate that they only allow core disciples and above to cultivate the top techniques of Divine Sword Sect."

"I understand, by the way, main body, do you think I should recruit a couple of underlings for fun?"

...

Lin Feng’s doppelganger, having transformed into Fang Yan, had a discussion with Lin Feng to determine the next steps of development. In fact, the relationship between Lin Feng and the doppelganger was quite mysterious; Lin Feng’s various abilities were well inherited by the doppelganger, yet in terms of personality, there were still minor differences between the two, possibly resulting in two different solutions when handling certain matters, necessitating communication between them.

Of course, if needed, Lin Feng could instantly control everything about the doppelganger, but generally such control isn’t necessary; the doppelganger can usually solve matters well enough, and constantly controlling the doppelganger involves diverting some attention for Lin Feng. Therefore, after Lin Feng confirmed that the doppelganger had no significant issues, he let the doppelganger handle things, while he needed to engage in retreat and enlightenment to improve his strength.

......

Dammit, what exactly can I do to handle Fang Yan, it’s driving me crazy!

Zhang Bufan, alone in his room, continually thought about how to deal with Fang Yan. More than half a month had passed, and he still hadn’t thought of a good solution to handle Fang Yan. As an Outer Sect disciple, he absolutely couldn’t make the first move. Given such a major restriction, wanting to mess up Fang Yan’s life was indeed mentally taxing; he thought of many methods but rejected them all, as Fang Yan’s ability was at the Middle Stage of Divine Firmament Realm, considered mid to upper in the Outer Sect disciples, and ordinary tactics wouldn’t work, leaving him thoroughly gloomy.

But if he doesn’t finish off Fang Yan, he has no outlet for this rage. When three months are up, and different Inner Sect disciples learn of what’s happened here, how will he continue mixing within the Inner Sect—the laughingstock of all Inner Sect disciples.

So now he had one goal: definitely think of a way to finish off Fang Yan, or use some other way to force Fang Yan out of Divine Sword Sect...

Glancing at the sky, suddenly a flash of insight struck Zhang Bufan’s mind!

Got it!

Zhang Bufan’s eyes lit up, and instantly his whole demeanor changed, filled with a sense of excitement.

With great pleasure, Zhang Bufan left the room and hurried towards Elder Hu’s residence; for now, it was just his idea, but if Elder Hu agreed, only then could this idea be implemented. Once implemented, he wouldn’t believe Fang Yan could still survive!

The journey went smoothly, he reached Elder Hu’s residence, obtained permission, and pushed the door open to enter.

"Bufan, how are those Outer Sect disciples doing now?" Elder Hu asked upon seeing Zhang Bufan come in; he’d been busy with other affairs these days and hadn’t had a chance to check on those Outer Sect disciples, so now with Zhang Bufan coming, of course, he had to inquire about those disciples.

"Elder Hu, this batch of Outer Sect disciples is quite good, they’re all working hard in their cultivation, doing very well." Zhang Bufan answered promptly upon Elder Hu’s questioning, though saying this gave him some frustration internally, for the sake of face, he couldn’t possibly let Elder Hu know about past events.

"That’s good, as long as they’re progressing well." Elder Hu nodded in satisfaction hearing Zhang Bufan’s response, then asked Zhang Bufan, "Did you come to see me for anything?"
