Huo Donglin knows Su Fan, but Su Fan doesn't know Huo Donglin.

He came to Tianhai to duel with Yagyu Jyugong and had no intention of paying respects to any faction.

The young woman beside Huo Donglin is his granddaughter, Huo Simin.

Huo Simin clearly understood what was happening and immediately introduced Su Fan with a smile:

"Hello, President Su, I am Huo Simin, and this is my grandfather, Huo Donglin, the president of the Tianhai Martial Arts Association."

Huo Donglin was first taken aback, then realized that Su Fan truly might not know him.

In the Tianhai martial arts community, he is well-known, but he has not reached a level of fame that commands the attention of all of China.

However, Huo Donglin is a very open-minded person. He laughed heartily and said, "Hahaha, oh, I'm really getting senile."

"I didn't introduce myself when I stopped President Su."

Su Fan smiled carelessly and said, "I was presumptuous, only thinking of dueling with Yagyu Jyugong and momentarily didn't recognize Mr. Huo."

If people show me an inch of respect, I will give them an inch of respect in return.

Since Huo Donglin was so polite, Su Fan naturally responded courteously as well.

With this exchange, the somewhat awkward atmosphere from before was immediately alleviated.

Huo Donglin extended an invitation to Su Fan, saying: "Since President Su has come to Tianhai, I shamelessly offer a bit of hospitality."

"Might I invite President Su to visit my residence?"

Su Fan nodded slightly, "Thank you for your gracious invitation, Mr. Huo. I'd be honored to accept."

He wasn't sure what Huo Donglin wanted by inviting him, but there were still two and a half days before his duel with Yagyu Jyugong.

Since Huo Donglin extended an invitation, it would do no harm to follow him to his residence.

Huo Donglin's residence wasn't far from Tianhai International Airport.

Under Huo Donglin's guidance, Su Fan quickly arrived at Huo Donglin's residence.

Since both were martial artists and both were presidents of martial arts associations,

upon arrival at the residence, Huo Donglin eagerly asked, "President Su, might we spar a bit?"

Su Fan has had very few opportunities to spar with martial arts grandmasters, so he was certainly willing to engage in a bout.

He immediately said, "Mr. Huo, how about sparring for fifty rounds?"

Huo Donglin nodded at these words.

Huo Simin, however, was a bit helpless, but of course, this was something unavoidable.

When two martial arts grandmasters meet, if they don't spar properly, both would feel quite uncomfortable.

This sparring between Huo Donglin and Su Fan was thereby destined to have Huo Simin as the sole spectator.

Su Fan's weapon did not pass through airport security; it was transported to Tianhai through other means, and had not yet arrived.

In this sparring session with Huo Donglin, neither of them intended to use weapons.

Although Huo Donglin's surname is Huo, he does not practice Mizong Fist, but rather a martial art of his own creation.

A martial arts grandmaster needs to be exceptionally skilled and have a profound understanding of martial arts to create their own style.

In fact, once a martial artist reaches a certain level, achieving this is quite feasible.

The advanced martial arts realm allows martial artists to more easily grasp the essence of martial arts.

At this moment, Su Fan and Huo Donglin stood on open ground.

Su Fan assumed the Tai Chi Boxing stance, while Huo Donglin positioned himself in a Tiger-shaped Fist stance.

One well-known technique related to Tiger-shaped Fist is called Tiger-Crane Double Shape.

However, at this moment, Huo Donglin was clearly using pure Tiger-shaped Fist.

Huo Donglin didn't attack Su Fan immediately but started circling around him.

This was not to make Su Fan dizzy but to find the right moment to strike.

Just like a tiger seeing its prey, it doesn't strike the moment it spots it.

Most of the time, they choose the right moment to kill with a single blow.
