Chapter 85: Challenging an Outer Sect Disciple

Upon hearing that Xiao Fan wanted to challenge him, Chen Shi, who was about to step down from the Arena, stumbled and nearly fell to his knees…

Even after dodging and hiding, he had still been discovered by The Terror…

Chen Shi turned his head with a sorrowful expression, forcing a smile that looked worse than crying, and said to Xiao Fan, "Xiao, Brother Xiao… long time no see."

Now that he had been discovered, it would be unreasonable to keep hiding and refuse to acknowledge him.

Moreover, he knew all too well how ruthless Xiao Fan could be when he attacked…

Back at the Spirit Stone mine, he had been beaten until he hugged his head and begged for mercy…

Xiao Fan stood with his arms crossed, watching Chen Shi with a smile, not speaking, just watching.

Chen Shi, with a mournful face, walked back to stand in front of Xiao Fan.

"Brother Xiao, so you are here too, what a coincidence…"

"Brother Xiao, I just finished a fight, and my stamina is insufficient."

"I… can't I just forfeit…"

Chen Shi was on the verge of tears. Facing Xiao Fan, he had zero chance of winning and was even considering forfeiting directly. Otherwise, there would be no need to fight the subsequent matches; Xiao Fan would beat him half to death.

"You dare to forfeit?" Xiao Fan raised an eyebrow and said coldly, "Come here. I'm just curious how you ended up here."

Hearing Xiao Fan's words, Chen Shi felt bitter, but he dared not disobey and walked over obediently.

The people around them saw this and understood what was going on; these two must have known each other before…

"Why did you come here? And what is your relationship with that Chen Feixing?"

Xiao Fan was curious; both had the surname Chen, could they be from the same Family?

But it didn't seem like it. It was rumored that Chen Feixing's Family had powerful influence and was a rare, large Family in Wuhuang Province, whereas the Family Chen Shi belonged to… was just an inconspicuous small Family.

Chen Shi shook his head and smiled bitterly, "Actually, our Family is a branch of the Chen clan. We are usually not favored by the main branch and haven't had contact with them for many years…"

Chen Shi recounted his story… The Family he belonged to was a branch of the Chen clan…

This year, Chen Feixing happened to be joining the Jixian Sect. The Family wanted to find a suitable-aged attendant to accompany him. The direct descendants were either too high-status and unwilling to come, or lacked sufficient cultivation and were the wrong age, so in the end, they had to search among these branch families.

And the person finally chosen was Chen Shi.

Hearing this, Xiao Fan nodded, finally understanding the cause and effect.

Speaking of this, Chen Shi's expression became even uglier. He had originally been high and mighty, throwing his weight around and acting arrogantly in his Family, but now he had been sent here to be a servant; it would be strange if he were in a good mood.

The two of them were reminiscing on the Arena, which caused dissatisfaction among most of the people around…

There were only three days, and especially for those with lower scores, every moment was extremely important to them.

However, since it was Xiao Fan on the Arena, they could only be angry but dare not speak, and they all turned their gazes toward the ten Outer Sect Disciples who were in charge of discipline.

The ten Outer Sect Disciples on the scene also looked displeased, especially the leader, who felt that Xiao Fan was challenging his authority. He said in a deep voice, "The Arena competition is not a place for you people to reminisce. If you aren't going to fight, get down."

Hearing this, Xiao Fan frowned. He also felt that what he was doing was indeed wrong and had wasted others' time…

He didn't speak, but intended to just go through the motions with Chen Shi.

Chen Shi, however, smiled bitterly and cupped his hands, "Very well, Senior Brother."

Fight Xiao Fan? Was he courting death…

Seeing that Xiao Fan still hadn't paid attention to him, the leading Outer Sect Disciple said coldly, "Did you not hear what I just said?"

He felt that Xiao Fan's failure to bow to him or respond was an insult to him!

The leading Outer Sect Disciple spoke coldly once again, "Brat, your Senior Brother is asking you a question. Are you deaf?"

Xiao Fan turned around slowly, his cold gaze locking with the other party's… A moment later, he said indifferently, "Are you talking to me?"

"So you aren't deaf. I thought you hadn't heard." The Outer Sect Disciple sneered, "Since you aren't deaf, hurry up and fight, then get off the Arena."

The leading Outer Sect Disciple's attitude was arrogant, and he completely disregarded Xiao Fan.

Even though he knew Xiao Fan had a score of nine and was at the seventh level of the Huaqi Realm, so what?

Being able to become the leader of the ten proved his Bufan, and his own strength was at the ninth level of the Huaqi Realm, two minor Realms higher than Xiao Fan.

This was the disregard of the strong for the weak…

"Then the 'deaf person' you mentioned earlier was me?"

Xiao Fan asked coldly, his voice devoid of any emotion, making it impossible to tell if he was joking or angry.

The leading Outer Sect Disciple frowned; never before had an unenrolled Disciple dared to speak to him like that, "That's right, I was talking about you."

The atmosphere around them suddenly became strange… filled with the scent of gunpowder.

The five hundred youths participating in the selection looked at each other, not daring to even breathe loudly…

Chen Shi felt that his situation was extremely awkward, especially since he had just revealed that he knew Xiao Fan; he was worried about being retaliated against.

"Very well. You just said you were a Senior Brother, right?"

Xiao Fan smiled and said, "Then for this match, I concede."

The surrounding people were stunned… Xiao Fan conceded?

The strongest person on Arena Number Four had actually conceded!

Everyone knew that Chen Shi would definitely not be a match for Xiao Fan, yet the latter had actually conceded?

"Xiao, Xiao Fan, you conceded… then I won?"

Chen Shi stammered; he hadn't expected that he would win again?

Five points didn't mean much to Xiao Fan, but to him, it was extremely important, determining whether he could join the Jixian Sect!

"Since you've conceded, hurry up and get down."

The leading Outer Sect Disciple frowned tightly; he felt that Xiao Fan's concession was a slap in his face.

He had just told the other party to hurry up and fight, and yet the other party just conceded…

However, at this moment, Xiao Fan laughed again, "Senior Brother, I did concede this match, that's true, but I want to challenge the next person."

Challenge the next one?

The five hundred people were all stunned, deciding in their hearts that if they were chosen by this The Terror, they would definitely forfeit.

The leading Outer Sect Disciple looked around and then said indifferently, "Since the others have no objections, hurry up and choose your next opponent."

"Anyone present, I can choose anyone?" Xiao Fan asked.

"That's right, anyone present, you can choose anyone."

"Very good." Xiao Fan smiled and looked at the leading Outer Sect Disciple, saying, "Then I choose you as my next opponent. Senior Brother, come on up."

What!

Xiao Fan was actually going to challenge this Outer Sect Disciple who was at the ninth level of the Huaqi Realm?

At this moment, not to mention the five hundred youths participating in the selection, even the remaining nine Outer Sect Disciples were stunned…

Was this person crazy?

"What did you say? If you have the guts, say it again."

The leading Outer Sect Disciple's expression darkened instantly, and he said coldly, "Brat, I think you are looking for death."

"Hehe… I just said I want to challenge you. As for whether I'm looking for death, you don't need to remind me."

Xiao Fan said with an indifferent expression.

"You're courting death!"

The leading Outer Sect Disciple leaped directly onto the Arena.
