Lin Fan gained his strength from the Strengthening Blood Serum Capsules. He hadn't practiced martial arts for a single day, instead relying on self-study to learn how to wield the immense power within him, but he hadn't developed a systematic approach.
Therefore, strictly speaking, Lin Fan couldn't be considered part of the martial arts community. He didn't understand or have any interest in getting involved with the martial arts world.
So when the Hongmen brothers mentioned the martial arts exchange event that day, Lin Fan didn't pay it much mind.
He was surprised to hear that at that martial arts exchange, this Brother Chen in front of him actually defeated those Hongmen brothers?
Lin Fan had seen the strength of the Hongmen brothers firsthand, and he had some understanding. At the time, when they sparred with that couple, they hadn't used their full strength and were very restrained. If it was a real fight, the couple would have been knocked out cold immediately.
