Without a doubt, Lin Fan knew Shadow Asura well—actually, very well—because they were fellow disciples!

Shadow Asura's real name was Lin Bai, a name given to him by Lin Fan fifteen years ago. When Lin Fan named him, he said, "I hope you turn whiter and whiter in the future."

Who'd have thought this guy would become darker and darker? Lin Fan was frustrated; he might as well have named him Lin Black...

Lin Fan knew very well of Lin Bai's immense strength—he was the one among the younger generation closest to matching Lin Fan!

Lin Fan didn't want a head-on clash with him, so he retreated three steps, flipped in mid-air, and effortlessly jumped onto the roof of a nearby BMW!

Crunch~

A crisp sound was heard!

Shadow Asura slammed his palm mercilessly, shattering the car window, causing the entire car to tremble three times!

"Damn! My car! Black Loach, how dare you smash my car; quickly pay up!" Lin Fan cursed angrily.

"Ten years ago, you borrowed a month's living expenses from me to go down the mountain and drink wine. Even at the bank's lowest interest rate, the interest over these ten years would be enough to replace your car window."

Lin Bai said indifferently, and before he finished speaking, his right leg, like a giant windmill, swung high and sharply, aiming a sweeping kick at Lin Fan on the car roof.

Lin Fan hurriedly jumped to dodge, and Lin Bai's foot skimmed over the car roof, making a "sizzling" sound and leaving a deep groove there.

"Holy! Damn Black Loach, you even dare smash the Young Sect Leader's car, I'll penalize you to buy me a new one." Lin Fan shouted indignantly.

"Beat me, and I'll buy you one." Lin Bai replied coolly.

"You really think I'm afraid of you? Bring it on, who fears who." Lin Fan simply let loose, pushing hard with both feet on the car roof, leaving two deep dents instantaneously.

Lin Fan, like an arrow shot from a bowstring, transitioned into the offensive, extending a finger to stab straight toward Lin Bai's shoulder.

Lin Bai knew well the power of Lin Fan's One-Finger Zen, and hurriedly countered with a sweeping leg, also aiming at Lin Fan's shoulder.

It's said that longer is stronger; how can an arm's length compare with a leg's reach? If Lin Fan continued forward, even if he could eventually pierce Lin Bai's shoulder with that finger, his own shoulder might be shattered by Lin Bai's kick.

Lin Fan came to an abrupt stop, leaned back, bending into a bow shape, easily dodging Lin Bai's kick, and with a swift turn of his hand, it moved like a nimble snake, reaching for Lin Bai's ankle.

Lin Bai dared not hesitate, executing a thousand-pound fall, his right foot dropping fiercely like a heavy tripod!

Boom~

As they collided, a wave of powerful Qi spread wide like floodwaters!

Both Lin Fan and Lin Bai stepped back—a closely matched confrontation where neither gained the upper hand, Lin Fan shook his numb palm while Lin Bai quietly stretched his aching right foot.

"It's been five years, and I didn't expect your strength to have improved so much." Lin Fan chuckled.

"Looking at your photos every day is the greatest motivation driving my training." Lin Bai replied indifferently.

"I didn't expect my photos to have such magic power. Black Loach, could you be in love with me? I should tell you, I have no interest in men, especially someone dark as if sneaking out of a coal mine." Lin Fan jabbed sharply.

Lin Bai's face turned grim, and he roared, "You misjudged! Every time I see your photo, I want to beat you up for Little Junior Sister."

"Geez! Then hurry up and return the photos to me, or else don't blame me for taking you to court for infringing on my portrait rights." Lin Fan grumbled displeased.

"Lin Fan, your nonsense just gets worse with age, unchanged from five years ago." Lin Bai remarked.

"This mouth is how I pick up girls! Unlike you, all silent like a gourd. That Little Junior Sister Lin Ya has been secretly in love with you for so long. Five years ago, she pulled you into her boudoir wanting a night together. It was cold, and she asked you to hold her as you slept, but you acted like a wooden block, just cuddling her through the night. You must be no good in that regard!" Lin Fan exposed.

Lin Bai's eyes immediately darkened disdainfully, wordlessly clenching his fists to charge again!

"Lin Fan, show your true strength, or I'll be unsatisfied with my loss!" Lin Bai roared.

"Alright, today I'll ensure you admit defeat." Lin Fan casually chuckled, and an invisible layer of Powerful Qi seeped from his pores, wrapping around his arm like armor!

Whoosh!

A piercing sound cut through the air!

Lin Bai's fists swept in like bulldozers, pushing aside the air in front, stirring up a mighty whirlwind.

Powerful Qi spiraled around Lin Bai's fists, forming blades made of wind; if they collided with the opponent's fist, this whirlwind would instantly envelop and shatter the enemy's arm bones.

"It's actually the Second Martial Uncle's Wind-Breaking Fist, let me see how much you've mastered." Lin Fan chuckled nonchalantly, extending a finger, concentrating Qi at the fingertip, like an unstoppable Divine Sword, shattering the air ahead and colliding with Lin Bai's fist!

Boom!

A deafening clash erupted like a planetary collision!

A wave of Qi, resembling floodwaters, boiled at the center of their attacks, transforming into a whirlwind, spreading forth!

Following, a crisp "crackling" sound echoed across Lin Bai's arm like popcorn popping, and the Qi on his arm instantly vanished into nothing.

Lin Bai's face turned pale, shaking his head with a wry smile, "I lost again, didn't expect your strength not to have waned but grown stronger over these years."

"Of course, I'm your senior disciple—there's no way a senior is defeated by a junior!" Lin Fan laughed easily, leaning on the car and smilingly looking at Lin Bai, showing a few signs of satisfaction in his eyes.

Actually, Lin Bai was arguably Lin Fan's closest brother for life; they grew up together and trained together.

It's just that since Lin Fan gave Lin Bai the nickname Black Loach, Lin Bai swore he would defeat Lin Fan one day, so whenever they met, they'd fight.

Lin Fan lit a cigarette and took a drag, "How did that old man allow you to come down the mountain to find me?"

"The Sect Leader said you'd encounter trouble in the East Sea, sent me to help." Lin Bai said while looking at the pair of dusty black gloves on his hands, seemingly with a touch of OCD, he frowned and tossed them aside, then took out a new pair from his pocket.

Lin Fan grinned, "Geez! These gloves aren't even dirty, why toss them? You're so wasteful!"

Lin Bai, donning the new gloves, calmly replied, "You said you'd take care of me for life."

"Hold on, hold on! Care isn't the same as sustenance; stop making it sound like I'm keeping you—I'm really not interested in men." Lin Fan said with frustration.

Lin Bai furrowed his brow, after pondering a while, unsure what to say, he opted to remain silent, his expression still meticulous, eyes carrying a chill!
