[Act 1: Feast of Genius Disobedience]
As night falls, Sunset Town sets up a feast for the three of them at the town's largest inn, the Moonwatch Tower.
Zhou Yuanshan hosted the banquet himself, and many cultivators were present.
As soon as they arrived, the whole place exploded.
"Are these the three heaven-defying newcomers?"
They don't even look to be at the middle level of the Qi Refining Stage. What gives them the honor of being the guests of honor?"
"I heard that the three of them decapitated the Sealed Fae Beast in the replica... Really?"
Lin Bufan and his companions sat in the main seat. All the cultivators in the town looked at them and whispered continuously.
At that moment, a lazy voice rang out.
"I said that Vice Town Zhou ... Shouldn't the top five in Sunset Town's battle power be worthy of sitting in the VIP seat?"
The crowd moved aside, and a young man in a green robe with gold stripes walked in. He held a folding fan and had an arrogant demeanor.
"Lin Bu Fan, right? My name is Qin Ye, third on the town's internal battle list."
"I don't believe you're qualified to sit in this position. Why don't we try?"
Luo Qingdao was about to get up when Lin Bufan reached out to stop him.
"I'll do it."
[System prompt: Challenge request triggered.]

Current recommended battle method: Crushing Defense Breaking.
[Suggested to turn on the "Battle Strength Display Mode"]
Lin Bufan slowly stood up, the corner of his mouth curling up. "If you want to fight, come."
Act 2: Out of the Box — One Strike Crushes
The entire audience retreated, leaving the open space vacant.
Qin Ye threw out his fan, and his aura exploded. Spirit patterns emerged under his feet!
"Look carefully. This is my latest secret technique."
Before he could finish, Lin Bu Fan suddenly moved!
One step broke the shadow!
Before the sword was sheathed, he was already approaching.
Bang!
Lin Bu Fan blasted Qin Ye in the abdomen with an elbow strike.
Qin Ye didn't even move, and his entire body was sent flying a dozen meters. He smashed into the pile of wine altars at the back of the banquet table.
"Cough—"
He stood up with difficulty, his face pale and his breath disorganized.
"How did you...you..."
Lin Bufan slowly walked back to the table. His tone was flat.
"You're not qualified enough for me to make a sword."
[Ding! Prestige +100]
[Ding! Systematic Battle Power Suppression Mechanism Triggered:
[Sunset Town Battle Power Ranking Update]
Lin Bufan has been listed first on the town list.
Is it publicly displayed? Yes.
At once, the entire room fell silent.
Zhou Yuanshan immediately stood up and bowed, saying, "Mr. Lin, I was reckless. From now on, this banquet will be honored by the three of you."
[Act 3: Villain Line Walk: Messenger in the Dark]
After the banquet:
Shadows floated outside the city as a black-clothed cultivator placed a recording stone in a carrier pigeon's belly and released it into the night sky.
"Lin Bufan... Life Soul Initial Moves, Battle Strength Breaks Ranks."
"Is this person perhaps the 'game breaker' in that plan?"
"But the board is not set, and the pieces can be discarded."
The pigeon flew far away and landed in a dark hallway.
A pair of pale gold vertical pupils slowly opened.
"The Destiny Soultaker has finally appeared."
"The plan can advance."
