Battle Through the Heavens: Clan Leader, I'm sorry, now I just want to be a good person.

The process was incredibly natural, neither making Yueyao feel neglected nor being overly rude; the balance was perfectly maintained, causing a hint of surprise to flash in Xiao Fan's eyes.

"I am He Feng, and I have long heard of Junior Brother Xiao Fan. Whether it was his great battle against Bai Cheng or his refining of a fifth-grade pill in front of everyone, those were major events that caused a sensation in the inner academy."

He Feng smiled and said to Xiao Fan, "Junior Brother Xiao Fan, is this your first time in the arena?"

“How come you see?”

Xiao Fan tilted his head to look at He Feng, not taking his flattery to heart. However, this arena was not like the Heavenly Flame Qi Refining Tower, where there was a test for first-time visitors.

Moreover, given the sheer size of the arena, Xiao Fan didn't believe He Feng could keep track of the students entering the arena at all times.

"hey-hey."

Hearing Xiao Fan's words, He Feng smiled faintly, and then said with a mysterious air, "Although my strength is not the strongest in the academy, when it comes to the control of information in the academy, even Lin Xiuya and the others are not as good as me."

"Oh?"

Upon hearing He Feng's words, Xiao Fan's interest in him increased significantly.

Judging from He Feng's behavior, he doesn't seem like the type to exaggerate, so what he said is most likely true.

Xiao Fan became curious; how could someone so knowledgeable about the inner court be so little known?

"Then I wonder why Senior He Feng contacted me?"

"Don't be so formal. If Junior Brother Xiao Fan doesn't mind, you can just call me He Feng."

He Feng smiled faintly, then said to Xiao Fan, "I've just heard a lot about Junior Brother Xiao Fan and wanted to make friends with him."

"Alright, since that's the case, I won't be shy anymore."

Xiao Fan looked at He Feng, a glint of light flashing in his eyes. He stopped calling him "senior" and started addressing him by his name instead.

"Since this is your first time in the arena, how about I give you a brief introduction?"

Seeing that Xiao Fan did not refuse, He Feng pointed to the competition platform below and said to Xiao Fan and the others, "These ten competition platforms below are where the students usually spar. They may seem to be the same at first glance, but if you look closely, there are subtle differences."

At this point, He Feng didn't speak, but looked at Xiao Fan with curiosity.

Xiao Fan raised an eyebrow and released his soul power, immediately discovering the mystery within.

"That stone platform in the center?"

“That’s right.” He Feng was somewhat surprised that Xiao Fan had discovered it so quickly. He pointed to the stone platform in the middle and said, “Although there are quite a few students who challenge each other in the arena on weekdays, everyone has tacitly preserved that stone platform in the center.”

What could be the reason for this?

Xiao Fan looked at the stone platform in the center, which appeared to be a bit darker in color, and a hint of curiosity flashed in his eyes.

Sitting next to Xiao Fan, Yue Yao also showed a hint of doubt on her face. After all, apart from those who have been in the arena for many years, others might not know these things so clearly. This shows that even if He Feng's words were somewhat exaggerated, his information was indeed well-informed.

“That’s right.” He Feng smiled faintly, then said, “Speaking of which, this is also related to the inner courtyard’s ranking list.”

"Top Ranking?"

Xiao Fan was somewhat puzzled, then suddenly realized. "This arena is specifically reserved for those challenging the top-ranked players?"

He Feng nodded and said with a smile, "Just like your battle with Bai Cheng last time, if we follow the general rules of the inner academy, battles involving students who are ranked on the strong list are basically conducted in the arena through a challenge match."

"On the one hand, both sides want to build up their popularity, and on the other hand, they want to prove their strength. After all, the challenger wants to show his fangs, and the challenged wants to make an example of someone."

Xiao Fan nodded in agreement upon hearing this. After all, most of the students on the ranking list were focused on their training. If they were challenged every few days, would they even be able to continue training?
