After hearing Lu An's answer, the four of them were stunned.
Guo Hancheng and the other two were both surprised and delighted. Lu An could defeat Chu Jinyi in his current condition. In fact, they thought that Lu An could defeat his next opponent, even if his opponent had a Fate Wheel.
"Are you sure?" Guo Hancheng asked quickly, "Don't you want to think about it?"
"Yes." Lu An nodded and said, "I just made a breakthrough and I want to try my strength and adapt to the new realm."
"…"
Everyone looked at each other. It was the first time that they had heard of someone adapting to the new realm through fighting. Moreover, judging from Lu An's fighting condition today, did he need to adapt to the new realm?
"Since that's the case, I'll treat you tonight!" Guo Hancheng immediately said, "Ever since I started cultivating in the Skywolf Sacred Land, most of the techniques I've cultivated have been used to heal injuries. Based on your current injuries, I'll be able to heal you after a night of treatment. Although you can't fully recover, you'll be almost healed! "
Lu An was stunned and said, "Won't it be too tiring to treat me for a night?"
"Not at all!" Guo Hancheng waved his hand and said loudly, "What's more, even if it's tiring, you have to fight on behalf of the Black Wolf City. Compared to you, my suffering is nothing."
"Okay." Lu An smiled and said, "In that case, I'll thank you in advance."
"Don't mention it. I can't thank you enough!" Guo Hancheng laughed and said, "Eat. After you finish eating, we'll start!"
However, just as Guo Hancheng finished his sentence, Song Ge, who was next to him, suddenly tugged at the corner of his shirt. Guo Hancheng was stunned and found that Song Ge was looking to the other side.
Guo Hancheng followed Song Ge's gaze and found that Liu Lan was looking at Lu An quietly. At this time, he realized that Liu Lan had not spoken since the beginning. As an experienced person, Guo Hancheng immediately understood what Song Ge meant.
"Lu An, I'll go back and prepare something to treat your injuries. You eat first. I'll be back after you eat!" Guo Hancheng stood up and said to Lu An.
Wan Kedong and Song Ge hurriedly stood up. Wan Kedong said, "Let's go see if there's anything we can help with. Alliance Master Liu, please stay here with Lu An for a while."
With that, the three of them shoved each other out of the room. They did not even think about how lousy their excuses were. The treatment was done using Heavenly Techniques, so there was no need for three people to prepare anything.
However, after the door was closed, the room quickly quieted down. Lu An had also eaten a lot at this time, and his speed had obviously slowed down. Looking at Lu An, Liu Lan could not help but ask, "Will you leave after returning to Black Wolf City?"
"Yes." Lu An nodded gently.
"What about the thing you promised me?" Liu Lan asked again.
"I haven't forgotten." Lu An smiled and said softly, "I'll go back first. I'll come here once every half a year. If you become a Level 6 Heavenly Master, I'll bring you there."
"…" Liu Lan frowned. Her hands were clasped together under the table. She asked, "Can't you wait for me to break through before leaving?"
Lu An shook his head slightly and said, "I've been here for half a year. I've been away for too long. I should go back and take a look."
Hearing Lu An's words, Liu Lan did not say anything else. She just lowered her head. Her black hair flowed down like a waterfall in the dark night. She looked exceptionally quiet.
Although Lu An could not bear to see her like this, he really could not stay here any longer.
"I'll go into seclusion when we return to Black Wolf City." Liu Lan suddenly said. Lu An was stunned. "I'll go into seclusion for a month at most. I hope you can wait for me for the last month."
Lu An was stunned. He frowned and said, "You're going into seclusion to break through so soon? Are you confident? "
"It will take about 20 days to return to Black Wolf City from the end of the competition. I'll make the best use of these 20 days to prepare." Liu Lan looked at Lu An and said seriously, "I might be able to break through."
"This is not a joke." Lu An's face suddenly turned serious. He said, "The more times you break through, the smaller the possibility of breaking through. Don't waste your opportunity for me. You have to wait until you're very confident before breaking through. "
"Do I look like I'm joking?" Liu Lan said seriously, "Don't worry. I won't mess around. If there's really no possibility of breaking through, I won't force it. However, from tomorrow onwards, I won't be able to watch your matches. "
Lu An frowned. It did not matter whether she watched his matches or not. The problem was that he did not want Liu Lan to do such a stupid thing.
However, just as Lu An was about to continue persuading her, Liu Lan suddenly stood up. She looked at Lu An and said, "I don't have much time left. I want to cultivate like you. Promise me that you'll give me another month when we return to Black Wolf City."
"…"
Lu An looked at the serious Liu Lan and did not say anything. He just nodded.
Liu Lan heaved a sigh of relief and turned to leave the room. Not long after Liu Lan left, Guo Hancheng came back alone. Guo Hancheng did not ask what the two had talked about. He and the other two did not eavesdrop.
"Are you full?" Guo Hancheng looked at Lu An and asked with concern.
"Yes." Lu An nodded and put down his chopsticks.
"Then let's start," Guo Hancheng said seriously. "It's been a long time since I've healed someone through the night. Even I'm curious if my Heavenly Healing Technique is still working!"

The next day, at 7 a.m.
Apart from Liu Lan, the other four people from Black Wolf City rode to the battlefield. Although Liu Lan did not tell Guo Hancheng and the others why she was not coming, they all guessed that it had something to do with what happened last night.
The treatment last night lasted until this morning. It was proven that the Healing Technique of a Level 5 Celestial Master was very powerful. After three hours of continuous treatment, Lu An's injuries were almost healed. In addition, his Fate Wheel had recovered by about 70%. By the time he fought, he might be able to recover up to 80%.
Now that his body had recovered to its current state, Lu An was more confident that he could win. In fact, he continued to fight not because he wanted to adapt to his strength and level, but because he wanted to fight with people who had Fate Wheels.
He had fought against too few people with Fate Wheels. Back when he was still in Starfire Academy, he had met one when he went to Skylight City to participate in the Academy Ranking Tournament. Then, he met one during the battle between Gongye Qingshan and the eight Holy Lands. After that, there were not many people with Fate Wheels. Now that he finally met two Level 5 Celestial Masters who had Fate Wheels, he would not give up. At most, he would admit defeat if he could not win.
Not long after, the four of them arrived at the border of the battlefield. Looking at the battlefield that had changed beyond recognition, it was hard to imagine what had happened here in the past three days.
Blackwolf City arrived at the right time. People from other cities had already arrived. The appearance of Blackwolf City immediately attracted their attention. If they could ignore this city before, no one could do so now.
After about half an hour, all the people from the nine cities had arrived, including the Prefecture Overseer. However, the luxurious carriage was nowhere to be seen today. Only the Prefecture Overseer and his servants were sitting at the side.
Soon, it was nine o 'clock. The host came to the battlefield after asking the Prefecture Overseer. Suddenly, people from all nine cities stopped talking and looked at the host in the center.
"A total of six people made it to the next round yesterday. However, two of them forfeited due to their serious injuries. So, there are only four people left in the third round!"
"These four people are Li Gaoqu from Stone Bear City, Gao Kuang from Daojian City, Lu An from Blackwolf City, and Shi Feifan from Daojian City!"
Hearing the names of these four people, people from other cities, except for Stone Bear City and Daojian City, were stunned. Stone Bear City and Daojian City were truly powerful cities. If it weren't for Lu An and Liu Lan defeating one person from each of the two cities, the third round would've been completely dominated by the people from the two cities.
The host looked around and said loudly, "The first round is between Li Gaoqu and Gao Kuang. Please enter the battlefield!"
As soon as he said that, everyone looked at Stone Bear City and Daojian City. Li Gaoqu from Stone Bear City was a Wind Celestial Master with Fate Wheels, while Gao Kuang was a Wind and Thunder Celestial Master cultivated by Daojian City with a special Wind Celestial Cultivation Core. Which side had the stronger Wind Celestial Master? Everyone was very curious.
Under everyone's curious gazes, two figures leaped up from both sides of the field and flew into the air.
