Chapter Twenty-Five: The Dark Tide Surges

Back at the bamboo house, it was early in the morning. Zhou Fan decided to go to meet his grandfather first and ask about the situation of Starfall City.

Thinking so, Zhou Fan came to the bedroom door of the head of the Zhou family and knocked lightly.

"Who, come in," said a majestic voice from the room.

Zhou Fan pushed open the door, walked into the room, and said, "Grandpa, it's me, Zhou Fan."

The old man, who was cultivating cross-legged, slowly opened his eyes, and looked at the delicate young man who seemed to be missing some immaturity in front of him, and the essence flashed in his eyes. He smiled and nodded, "Here, you stinky boy, you retreat for a month, hey! It seems that you have made a lot of progress in this retreat."

"Hey, it's okay." Zhou Fan touched the tip of his nose and smiled. "That's right, Grandpa. Tell me about the situation in Starfall City."

The old man nodded, and his face suddenly became serious. said: "There are still two days before Dabi, I can see that you have made a lot of progress, but this time Dabi should not be booed." You still have a few strong rivals, and there is news that the righteous son of the younger generation of the Chen family has returned, and it is said that he was raised as a wolf cub by the wolves in the mountains and forests. Later, he was brought back by the head of the Chen family, focusing on cultivation, and later entered the deep forest again to cultivate, and now his strength is unfathomable. There is also a young man named Li Ruofeng from the Li family, it is said that he was born with a high degree of compatibility with the wind attribute, and he should have comprehended a trace of the artistic conception of the wind, and the Li family has been cultivated with various pills since he was a child, he is the real first person of the younger generation of the Li family. I used to be in retreat, but now I have broken through the barrier and is also one of the favorites to win the championship.

Zhou Fan listened carefully on the side, and after the old man finished speaking, he looked at himself, and then smiled indifferently and said: "Don't worry, this kind of competition will not be boring, this time the leader of the big competition must be your grandson and me, who will stop whom."

"You stinky boy, you have to get up, it's good to have faith, but don't be careless. Okay, go find your sister, she's been complaining for the past few days, saying you've been in retreat for too long."

"Well, then I'll go first, and I'll have to go see the godmothers." After saying that, he left the room and walked towards the mansion where the uncle was.

"This stinky boy is becoming more and more like his father." Looking at Zhou Fan's back, the wrinkles on the face of this majestic old man seemed to be more obvious, and when he thought of his favorite son, he couldn't help shedding a trace of tears. These tears are not only guilty of his son, but also the relief of seeing Zhou Fan's rise now.

Zhou Fan came to a mansion on the north side of Zhou's mansion, which was the house where the uncle and their house lived, and stepped in. As soon as I entered it, I saw a young man with a slightly elegant temperament fighting with a beautiful and moving girl, with heavy fist shadows and light blue light flickering from time to time, it was Zhou Ling and Zhou Zheng. On the next step sat a golden monkey, screaming with his fist raised.

"Brother, don't hide, let me punch me, hum!" Seeing that he couldn't attack Zhou Zheng, Zhou Ling couldn't help but be annoyed and angry, and he was trying to cheat.

"Haha, it's you who want to test your fists and feet, how can there be any reason to stand still and let you fight." Zhou Zheng couldn't help but laugh. As soon as he finished speaking, he saw Zhou Fan walking into the courtyard.

"Hey, Zhou Fan, your retreat is over." Zhou Zheng said with a smile.

Zhou Ling listened to Zhou Zheng's words, turned around and looked, and a happy smile immediately appeared on his face, which was very moving. looked at Zhou Fan who came over, and suddenly stretched out his little hand to grab Zhou Fan's ear, which was a turn.

"Ah...... Ah, it hurts...... It hurts, sister, let it go". Zhou Fan didn't expect Zhou Ling to come like this suddenly, wailing and begging for mercy.

Touching his red ears, Zhou Fan said aggrievedly: "Sister, what are you doing?"

"What do you say, once the retreat is a month, I'm bored to death." Zhou Ling pouted and said hatefully.

"Uh...... Isn't it for Tabi, won't I come to see you as soon as the retreat is over?" Zhou Fan picked up the little monkey that rushed over, touched its hair on the top of his head and said with a smile.

"By the way, Dabi in two days, how are you preparing?" Zhou Fan asked with a smile.

"Hmph, your sister and I have already reached the sixth level of martial arts, amazing, the "Water Cloud Jue" you gave me is too powerful, I don't know how many times faster I can cultivate. By the way, I also handed over the Shui Yun Jue to my brother, you won't blame me." Zhou Ling stuck out his little tongue and asked weakly.

Zhou Fan smiled happily: "Haha, of course not, if you give it to you, it's yours, I don't care who you give it to."

Zhou Zheng also put his mind at ease and said with a smile: "Xiaofan, I can't see through your current strength, and it is likely that you will be the leader of the big competition this time."

"Well, this retreat has really improved a lot. But I've heard that there are still a few great people, and I'll do my best."

Then Zhou Fan talked with the two for a while, then took the little monkey to say goodbye, and went to the City Lord's Mansion to see the godmother. The second daughter was very happy to see Zhou Fan, who she hadn't seen for a month. I just kept him for dinner.

After all this was over, the sky was already dark, and Zhou Fan began to cultivate the "Refining Divine Technique" again. During the month of retreat, Zhou Fan also felt that the spiritual power in his sea of spiritual consciousness was infinitely close to saturation, and he could compress it for the first time at any time.

"It's now", after cultivating the magic technique for two hours again, Zhou Fan felt that the spiritual power in the sea of consciousness was completely saturated, and he let out a loud shout.

Zhou Fan concentrated his mind and mobilized the spiritual power in the sea of consciousness according to the compression method recorded in the first layer of the Book of Souls. I saw that the wisps of transparent spiritual power quickly approached each other, and finally seemed to consciously begin to collide with each other and devour each other.

"Ah!!h Fortunately, Zhou Fan is a human being in two lives, and his willpower is much tougher than ordinary people.

Two hours later, Zhou Fan felt the pain gradually weaken, only to see that the spiritual power in the sea of consciousness stopped moving, and the wisps of spiritual power after compression and devouring became more substantial, although it was not obvious, but Zhou Fan could clearly feel that the strength of these spiritual powers now was far from being necessary before compression.

When Zhou Fan was cultivating his spiritual power, it was already late at night. No one noticed that a dark shadow flickered in the night, and in the blink of an eye, he entered a courtyard south of the Zhou Mansion, only to see him come to the door of a house.

"Brother, I'm here," the shadow whispered.

"Is this done?" asked the man in the room.

"Well, the Li family has agreed to cooperate, after getting rid of Zhou Zhenyu, they will let you be the head of the Zhou family, but they want half of the Zhou family's weapons business."

"Hmph! I have a great appetite, but let's agree first, the current Zhou family is almost out of place for us."

"Brother, Zhou Fan must be handed over to me when the time comes. I'm going to kill him with my own hands, my two grandchildren were seriously injured by him, Hong'er hasn't recovered yet, and he must pay the price." The black shadow forcibly suppressed the anger and said, this person is the three Zhang Zhou Hongjun who were expelled from the Zhou family.

"Well, you should go away first, lest anyone find out. Endure for two days, and after the big competition, it's time to act." The man in the room said.

The three elders nodded, dodged into the night, and disappeared.

At this time, Zhou Fan and others didn't know that a storm was coming. The night is silent, and the conspiracy is invisible.
