"I was the first to challenge! Let me go first!"
Ma Qingfeng glared angrily at Chen Wei.
Though ranked lower than Chen Wei, he was not afraid.
"A mere warrior ranked 98th dares to compete with me, the 7th ranked assassin?"
Chen Wei sneered.
Yes, thanks to following Luo Hao through the high-difficulty secret realm of the Imperial Laboratory, Chen Wei's ranking had skyrocketed from beyond the top ten to the seventh position.
"Even if you're ranked higher than me, I called it first!"
"Logically, I should be the one to challenge!"
Ma Qingfeng didn't back down.
The surrounding freshmen watched the scene, their schadenfreude-filled gazes falling on Qin Fan.
"Haha…"
"This Qin Fan is so pathetic, being treated like an easy target by these people!"
"Isn't that right? Today, Qin Fan is definitely in for several beatings!"
This might be the most unthreatening and unimpressive freshman first rank ever.
Others seeing the top rank are usually too afraid to challenge.
But now, everyone can't wait to take a shot. It's truly laughable.
"Qin Fan, you can go up now."
At this moment, Dean Liu Jinhua finally turned with a smile to look at this calm and composed student.
Hmm…
Regardless of anything else, this student's temperament was truly admirable.
Like a rock, unwavering amidst the storm.
Though low-key and steady, there was an air of indomitable pride around him.
This kind of demeanor, Liu Jinhua had never seen in strong individuals of this age and level.
Anyone else would have either been furious or trembling with fear under such public provocation.
Moreover, he was very curious about this student's actual combat prowess!
Of course…
He was even more eager to see Qin Fan's dragon pet!
Faced with Dean Liu Jinhua's reminder, Qin Fan nodded and turned to step onto the nearest arena!
Under everyone's watchful eyes…
The freshman who had been subjected to constant doubt finally revealed a crazed, battle-hungry smile!
His arrogant words rang out like thunder in everyone's ears!
"Stop arguing…"
"All you challengers, one by one, get up here!"
"I'm in a hurry!"
As soon as he finished speaking, before anyone could react, Qin Fan's icy gaze fell on Bai Wushuang, Luo Hao, Xu Niannian, and Fang Tairan. He pointed directly at these four prodigies!
"And you!"
"Stop pretending to be high and mighty, get up here too!"
"If I don't beat the crap out of you today, then you can count yourselves lucky!"
The entire place was in an uproar!!
Damn!
Arrogant!
This guy is unbelievably arrogant!
Not just the freshmen.
Even the deans and teachers were taken aback.
As for the challengers, their faces were filled with anger!
"Chen Wei! Yuanyuan! Xiaotao!"
At this moment, Luo Hao, his expression ice-cold from Qin Fan's provocation, finally spoke indifferently.
"Luo Ge, any orders?" Chen Wei asked with a smile.
Feng Yuanyuan and Luo Tao also looked at Luo Hao.
"Since he wants a beating, let's oblige him!"
"Go up together and vent your anger!"
Luo Hao said coldly.
"Alright! I'll listen to Luo Ge! This brat isn't worth Luo Ge's effort!"
Chen Wei nodded, then he, Feng Yuanyuan, and Luo Tao stepped onto the arena.
Bi Dejiang and Tong Jiajia also looked at Bai Wushuang.
"Go up, but don't hold back too much," Bai Wushuang said flatly.
The two nodded and, under the excited gazes of the crowd, stepped onto the stage!
Likewise, Xu Niannian and Fang Tairan, who were also provoked, nodded and allowed their lackeys Tao Qian and Zhang Shan to take the stage!
Now, this enormous arena had eight challengers ranked within the top hundred!
Ma Qingfeng widened his eyes, about to speak, but was coldly stared down by the seven instructed to teach Qin Fan a lesson.
"If you don't want to join, get down!"
"This is Qin Fan's own doing, don't blame us!"
By rights, they all had their pride and wouldn't resort to ganging up on one person.
But this Qin Fan was just too deserving of a beating.
Anyway, he'd get beaten one-on-one too.
So, more people together would save time.
This was their thought.
However, Ma Qingfeng angrily jumped off the stage, "You guys are dishonorable! I am not!"
"I'll wait for Qin Fan to recover, then beat him myself!"
No one expected this blond kid to be so principled.
But considering his background from an ancient martial family, it made sense.
A teacher serving as the referee looked to the deans.
The deans didn't hesitate, nodding in agreement.
Though Qin Fan's challenge to take on a group was surprising, they weren't worried.
Don't forget…
Qin Fan had a terrifying dragon pet!
With the deans' nod of approval, the referee teacher also stepped onto the stage. To ensure the energy waves from the skills clashing wouldn't affect the audience below, a transparent energy barrier was erected with a hum.
Qin Fan's cold gaze slowly swept over the seven people before him.
Chen Wei, assassin.
Tong Jiajia, priest.
Zhang Shan, warrior.
Tao Qian, priest.
Feng Yuanyuan, mage.
Luo Tao, swordsman.
Bi Dejiang, warrior.
And all of them were over level 30!
It seemed that over the past few days, these groups had been frantically clearing secret realms, gaining several levels.
At this moment, the seven looked at Qin Fan with cold eyes, as if viewing a doomed loser.
They didn't even bother with trash talk.
The audience was already ecstatic!
1V7!
"Take your positions!"
The referee had raised his right hand!
Simultaneously, the intersecting rays in the center of the arena wove into a countdown of holographic numbers.
"3!"
"2!"
"1!"
"Ding!!"
As the countdown ended.
Swish!!
Chen Wei, being an assassin, had a finely crafted sharp dagger appear in his hand, and his figure darted toward Qin Fan fifty meters away like a ghost!
The arena's large area allowed the combatants to fully display their abilities.
But even at fifty meters, Chen Wei, using the A-grade skill 'Shadow Instant Kill,' closed the distance to Qin Fan in less than a second!
Fast!
So fast!
As expected from one of the top assassins among the younger generation of Fengtian Province!
Even more surprising was...
"Damn! Tao Qian and Tong Jiajia, those two priests, have buffed Chen Wei with two attack-boosting spells!"
"It's over!"
"Looks like Luo Tao and the others won't even get a chance to strike, because Chen Wei might just kill Qin Fan in one hit!"
The audience exclaimed in shock.
They had noticed Chen Wei's momentum reaching its peak!
His entire body was glowing with a faint enhancement aura!
This was the effect of the buff skills.
Up to this moment.
Qin Fan still showed no intention of summoning a pet!
This implied he really didn't have a dragon pet!
"Die!"
Chen Wei, shrouded in a terrifyingly fierce aura, lunged at Qin Fan, his sharp dagger drawing a bright arc in the air.
The dagger aimed directly at Qin Fan's arm!
Good heavens!
Chen Wei wasn't planning a quick fight!
He intended to cripple Qin Fan, making him suffer!
It seemed that losing to Qin Fan twice before had filled Chen Wei with overwhelming hatred for this top freshman!
However, in that critical instant.
No one noticed...
Qin Fan's eyes had already taken on a dark purple hue.
'Devil-Breaking Gaze'!
With this A-grade talent activated, Qin Fan's vision was unparalleled!
Chen Wei's lightning-fast attack appeared like a slow-motion turtle crawl under Qin Fan's exceptional dynamic vision!
Slow!
Too slow!
Faced with Chen Wei's fierce dagger strike, Qin Fan simply sidestepped.
Swish!!
In Chen Wei's astonished eyes, his supposedly sure-hit attack missed and struck the air.
"Oh no!!"
As this happened, Chen Wei felt a chill in his heart!
It's happening again!
In his first fight with Qin Fan, his attack had missed, allowing Qin Fan to counter during his skill cooldown, leading to his defeat!
Back then...
He thought he lost due to underestimating Qin Fan.
But now...
He was going all out, using his fastest A-grade assassination skill, with two priest buffs enhancing him!
And yet...
Was he still going to lose?
Bang!!
The answer came in the form of Qin Fan's iron fist, as large as a sandbag!!
This punch didn't even involve any skills!
It was a pure, raw punch, with a power attribute of 1400!
When it landed on Chen Wei's chest...
Crack!!
The life-saving barrier generated by Chen Wei's level 20 purple-grade armor shattered instantly!
What followed was a terrifying force surging through his body!!
"Ah!!"
Under the disbelieving gaze of everyone, the top assassin from Fengtian Province let out a blood-curdling scream, and was sent flying by Qin Fan's punch!
Bang!!
He crashed into the energy barrier, spat out a mouthful of blood, and fell to the ground, unconscious, his fate unknown.
Silent!
Dead silent!
At this moment, everyone in the audience, including the six challengers on stage, stared wide-eyed in horror at the scene.
What...
What just happened?
Wasn't Qin Fan supposed to be defeated by Chen Wei?
How did it turn out to be Chen Wei getting instantly KO'd!?
Moreover...
The key point was that Qin Fan seemed to have used no skills!
In that instant.
Everyone realized a serious issue.
They had severely underestimated this top student from Nanzhou Province.
