Chapter 18:
"Lin Fan!! I've been waiting for you, you finally arrived!" A voice called out from the side, making Lin Fan turn his head to the right. It was, of course, You Kuan.
"You Kuan! This place is beautiful, and completely secret too. I like it. Just as expected from the You Clan." Lin Fan moved closer to You Kuan, still gazing at the various dungeons around them.
"Of course it's secret! Only the core members of the clan and above know about it. It's one of the most important interrogation and torture areas for the clan!" You Kuan replied as he walked beside Lin Fan, heading deeper into the underground floor. The thick smell of blood still lingered in the air.
"Oh! So, am I now qualified to know about this, or did you just allow it?" Lin Fan asked curiously, trying to gauge his current status within the clan.
"Yes, you're qualified. Do you see that badge on your clothes? It marks your status in the clan based on the number of vertical lines. One line for outer disciples, two lines for inner disciples, and so on... You're currently a core disciple, so you have three lines. Once we return to the clan and you pass the test, you'll reach the elder status, meaning you'll have four lines on your badge." You Kuan patiently explained to Lin Fan, detailing how the clan members' ranks were determined.
"Oh, I understand now. So that's why the restaurant guard recognized me so quickly and treated me with such respect. It was clear that the core disciple from the You Clan who would arrive at that time would be me, especially since you already informed him of my arrival." Lin Fan looked at the simple iron badge with three lines and spoke softly, absorbing what You Kuan had just explained.
But suddenly, You Kuan stopped walking for a moment, staring at Lin Fan in shock. His eyebrows raised slightly in disbelief. "Wait a moment... your energy...!" You Kuan felt a disturbance in the Qi around Lin Fan, and his expression shifted into genuine shock. "Your level... You've broken into the Golden Core Realm?! How did you do that, by the hell's name?!"
Lin Fan smiled mysteriously as he looked at him, crossing his arms in front of his chest and speaking in a sarcastic tone, "What? Did you think I'd stay in the Qi Condensation Realm forever?"
You Kuan shuddered, realizing that just yesterday, Lin Fan had been in the Qi Condensation Realm—on the sixth layer, no less! Advancing to the Golden Core Realm at this speed was impossible... Absolutely impossible! 'My god... this man is a real monster!' You Kuan thought to himself, feeling both awe and fear toward Lin Fan, now even more certain that he had made the right decision to follow him.
Meanwhile, Lin Fan and You Kuan finally stopped walking as a large iron gate appeared before them, different from all the other surrounding cells.
"Is everything set up as I requested, You Kuan?" Lin Fan asked with a small, sinister smile on his face.
"Yes, take a look for yourself. I personally made sure everything was in place to fulfill your request with the utmost efficiency," You Kuan replied, pulling out the keys from his spatial ring. He began unlocking the iron gate as he thought, 'I've finally realized just how dangerous Lin Fan really is after this request of his, and I've also understood his twisted obsession. It's good that I'm on his side and not his enemy!'
The iron gate creaked open, revealing well-lit surroundings inside the dungeon, unlike the dim lighting in the rest of the underground floor.
"Umm... Umm..." A moaning sound came from within, and Lin Fan's satisfied smile widened clearly as he stepped slowly into the dungeon. Before him stood the figure of a bare-chested man, chained to the wall, his arms and legs bound, even his neck encircled with an iron collar to ensure he couldn't break free under any circumstances.
"Didn't I tell you? I won't rest until I torture you properly, make you beg me for death, and still deny you that mercy... Xiao Ming!" Lin Fan said with a sick smile on his face, inspecting the helpless figure before him.
"Umm... Umm..." Xiao Ming continued to moan in response to Lin Fan, his mouth gagged with a black mask, unable to speak freely.
"Oh... Can't talk, poor thing? Come on, I'll remove the gag from your mouth. Entertain me with your pleas, hahaha!" Lin Fan laughed maniacally as he removed the mask covering Xiao Ming's mouth.
"Ahhh! You bastard! Let me go! I'll never forgive you as long as I live. Don't you dare touch my daughter, you bastard, or I'll kill you!" Xiao Ming shouted at the top of his lungs, struggling to break free. The sound of the iron chains binding his hands and feet echoed clearly as his veins bulged, desperately trying to snap the chains.
"Bang!!" A powerful punch landed on Xiao Ming's stomach, causing him to bend slightly and spit out saliva involuntarily from the intense pain. "No, that's not what you should have said! Looks like this is going to be a long and enjoyable night. I'll strip you of that arrogance completely, Xiao Ming!"
Lin Fan took a step back, pulling out his black whip from his spatial ring, then turned his gaze to the corner of the dungeon, where various torture devices of all shapes and sizes were scattered. A wider smile spread across his face as he thought, 'Ah! This brings back memories. The only difference now is that the people in this world are much stronger and... they have far greater endurance and willpower too. Breaking them will be so much fun, hehehe!'
