Lin Fan smiled and walked with Pox Ran outside towards the Fan Sect Outskirts. He smiled before Pox Ran put the knife deeper into his neck.
"You think I'm going to fall for explosives at this stage?" Pox Ran smiled and took a table out of his spatial ring before he dropped it on the grass. "Let's talk here about what I'm going to do to not break your legs..."
"So... you show up on my property, threaten to kill everyone I love, and you want me to talk to you? How do you know I don't have a way to kill you stored up my sleeves?"
"If you did..." Pox Ran said as he took the blade off Lin Fan's neck. "Then I wouldn't be here as your rival... I'm going to make you sweat, and I'm going to make you think about every move you make..."
"So... does that mean you know what I'm willing to offer you to join my side... I really don't mind giving you a promise... an oath that any overlord secrets I find in the future will go to you... The first three I mean..."
"Sit down, shut up, stop trying to make the situation worse for yourself..." Pox Ran said as he casually put his hands up on the chair... "Here's the deal... You got cocky and went after my two grand nieces... Now... because of that, I'm going to give you a proposition... You can either fight me at one percent of my total strength now, or thirty percent of my total strength in six months..."
"If you can even scratch me once, I will consider it a victory if you beat me right now... However, if with one percent of my strength I beat you, I take both my little cute nieces and disappear... five months later, I come and try and chop off your head with a hundred percent of my strength..."
"I... I think i'd be dumb to think I could scratch the great, noble uncle of my future wives... How about we play another game... If I can't convince you to join my side in ten minutes, you can chop off my head... However, if I do convince you to join my side, then you go end this war right now..."
"Idiot... You're full of yourself... I don't need you, nor do I care about becoming an overlord... All I care about is talking about your handicap... How does fighting with only one arm sound? How about I cut off your two feet and give it back to you in sixth months?"
"May I... May I ask why you don't give me your arm? I feel like your grand nieces would be upset if you hurt me... I could tell the moment you saw them you wouldn't do anything to hurt their feelings... Are you even an assas--"
Lin Fan gulped as a blade touched against the side of his neck. He lifted up his arms and smiled as Pox Ran also grinned and put down the edge of the knife.
"So fast... You must be able to go close to a hundred thousand miles an hour... What's that like being so confident that you forget to look behind you?"
Lin Fan looked at a few of his bunnies as the gently nibbled on the grass underneath his feet.. "What if something that looks extremely innocent, bit on your leg and you died from being poisoned?"
"I can't be poisoned... I mastered a obscure law that makes it impossible for anything to hurt me... Have you even mastered the fifteen main laws yet? You're pathetic... My grand nieces would be better off living with a prince from another kingdom..."
"Let's get down to business..." Lin Fan said as he leaned in closely to Pox Ran's face... "You... you want me to be handicapped and I want to kick your ass... Why don't I take the option to beat you at thirty percent strength in six months... However, in exchange for that... You give me the [Sacred Law Manuals]... the entire set..."
Lin Fan sighed and waved the bunnies away who had enough poison in their teeth to kill a demi-god stage magic beast. At the same time, he began to shiver a little bit as Pox Ran leaned in once again so fast that he couldn't even see him blur.
He was quite a bit stronger now than he ever thought possible, but felt like he was looking into a dangerous, impetuous monster that could kill him with a single slash...
"No... why do you think I'd give you the Sacred Law Manuals? How do you even know about those? They have been kept a secret since the founding of Sacred Light City..."
"Your grand nieces say a lot when they are on my back... I tell them to visualize what I'll be doing to them in a few months... I expect to kick your ass too and then turn around and have fun with your nieces..."
"Seriously, death it is..." Pox Ran slashed his arm forward before a light appeared in front of Lin Fan's on all sides. He activated the law of light and used his [Light Scout] to dodge the attack. He smiled and looked down, noticing that his neck had been slightly slashed...
"Ouch, and here I thought no one could cut light... Maybe that guy at the temple was right..."
"What temple? You mean Overlord Temple?" Pox Ran sighed as Lin Fan nodded his head... "How the hell would you know where that is? The greatest Overlord, and one of the rulers of Horizon, keeps that place locked down... If you tell me what you know about it, I'll give you the manuals..."
"No... After I kick your ass in sixth months, now keep your promise! Get out of here before I have one of my bunnies bite you! I know Gin Ran would be upset if you hurt me, so stop pretending to cut me! It hurts when you accidentally strike me!"
"Idiot... here... take the damn book... Study it and learn what you can..." Pox Ran put down the [Sacred Law Manual], a sentient grade treasure, before he sighed and looked up at the sky... "Just know that this war isn't going to be as easy as wooing a girl who only saw one man in her life..."
"I promise... I promise to be nice to your grand niece after I kick your ass!" Lin Fan smiled before the wind around Pox Ran distorted and he turned into a super sonic bullet that pierced the clouds. He was so fast that light seemed to minerly distort as Lin Fan patted Mimi Fan on the back...
'It's nice to know I simply mentioned Overlord Temple and he forgot about all his plans to handicap me and even gave me the book... I wonder what that means?'
Lin Fan turned the side and noticed Mimi Fan had run out to his side...
"Chicken Man... Why did that man look so scared when you said Overlord Temple... You aren't going to die in the future are you... If you die, I'm going to revive you and kick your ass!"
"Little girl... we both have a lot of training to do... Stop worrying about me and go tell the girls to start earning points... I need it on overdrive for the next few months..."
