Legend of the Fighter (2)
Chapter 9: As Seamless as the Unperforated Path
Zhou Fan was still on top of the arena, he was waiting to find out if anyone intended to challenge him.
A short while later a middle-aged man dressed in white jumped onto the arena.
"Representative of the first prince, Gao Bin." The old man mentioned his identity.
Zhou Fan prepared with his sword, facing the man named Gao Bin.
When Emperor Shao said the match had started, the two did not advance, regardless of what they were going to do, which was obviously just silence and looking at each other.
But it did not last long, because soon after Gao Bin attacked.
Zhou Fan held on, resisting the attacks of the machete that continued to pound out mercilessly. Feeling under pressure made Zhou Fan depressed, but he still held on.
This is seen differently by the opponent. Gao Bin thinks the opponent cannot match his strength, can only survive and ultimately lose without a fight.
Tranks...
The machete attack could be held back by the night blood sword, the gazes of the two met and Gao Bin let out a very irritating grin.
Shao Mingrui did not know what Zhou Fan was doing, but it was obviously not like what the young man had shown before. Even if it cannot be defeated, it can still provide resistance, not just survive.
"Third sister, it looks like your representative is exhausted." The first prince's words sounded slow, but implied a very deep joke.
Zhao Mingrui snorted, she would not be affected by the other princes words. As if it was something he had often accepted.
"Only competed once, and already exhausted, it seems you chose the wrong person." The second prince laughed.
Shao Mingrui glanced at the sinister, thin smile on her lips. "That's better than a loser in the first game."
Shao Mingrui's words were indeed not directly addressed to the second prince, but all who heard surely knew for whom the statement was addressed.
The second prince clenched his hands and hit the handle of the chair. "Wait until your representative loses, I'll laugh loudest."
Meanwhile above the arena, Zhou Fan still held on. Not just defending, he was actually looking at the strength of the opponent as long as he received an attack, it was also the reason why he did not even avoid the attack of the goal.
"That's enough, I'll be serious." The white-clothed middle-aged man groaned furiously, darting and attacking with his machete.
Zhou Fan snorted, in his mind he said. "You're serious, then it's time for me to end it."
Zhou Fan's movements were getting more agile, when the machete was about to slash, all that was cut down was empty air, while Zhou Fan was no longer there.
Gao Bin's face was slightly tangled, he was looking for where his opponent was. As he sensed the presence behind his body, he turned around quickly.
But, unfortunately, it's too late. A bogem struck right between his forehead. Making the middle-aged man retreat with his head staggered.
Not only was Gao Bin shocked, everyone even Shao Mingrui did not expect something like this to happen. He had thought that Zhou Fan would lose, but it seemed that from the very beginning the young man had been in control of the fight.
Everyone might have seen Zhou Fan in a defensive state, but what happened was that the young man was controlling the opponent to analyze his strength.
Ughhhh...
A shrill pain rang out from Gao Bin's mouth, while holding the middle-aged man's head up.
But Zhou Fan was already unable to bear it, he darted after Gao Bin who had just risen up, making the middle-aged man's body bounce further, even exiting the arena and hitting the floor of the hall.
Shao Mingrui smiled widely, he glanced at his two eldest brothers. "First brother, it looks like your representative needs help to stand up. Yet it was better compared to a person who fainted above the arena."
Once again the second prince groaned furiously. He glanced at the old man beside him. "Basically useless, why did you lose to him?!"
But the one asked just kept his head down. Nor is it his desire to lose, who does not want to win, it's just that the opponent is too tough, making victory just wishful thinking.
"Bong Heteng, you go!"
The middle-aged man who was beside the eighth prince jumped onto the arena with a sword on his back.
Bong Heteng did not speak a word when he looked at Zhou Fan, he felt that this opponent could really force him.
Zhou Fan with the night blood sword prepared above the arena. He has won twice in a row, one more victory and the task will be done.
"Bong Heteng, if you defeat the third prince's representative, I'll give you something interesting." The second prince said from his seat.
Shao Mingrui laughed softly, but it was enough for the second prince to see.
"People themselves are useless, wanting to take out the person belonging to the eighth sister."
The words were so casual, but it could pierce the heart of the second prince. The second prince quickly denied. "You can't say anything, I'm just encouraging, can't you?"
"Prince, let it go. Why don't you ask the second prince to bet?" Zhou Fan raised his hand, advising Shao Mingrui.
Shao Mingrui smiled, it was a sign that Zhou Fan had the ability to win matches. He quickly nodded at Zhou Fan's words.
The second prince hesitated, he was not sure if Bong Heteng would be able to defeat Zhou Fan. Moreover, the third prince's representative looked confident.
But not with Shao Ziyu, he excitedly said. "Third brother, what if you bet with me?"
Shao Mingrui silently glanced at Zhou Fan, nodding as Zhou Fan nodded.
"What will be the betting material?" Shao Ziyu believed in the abilities of his people, it was impossible to lose to a young man.
"If you lose, you must give the eighth level beast crystal, and it must be the ice element." Zhou Fan cut in, everything in the hall looked at him with a look of dislike.
"It's not your right to speak." Several people exclaimed simultaneously, voicing dislike.
"No, he fought. I agree with what he said." Shao Mingrui had to follow Zhou Fan's will this time around, he didn't expect the young man to make very good use of the chaos.
"But I don't have it." Shao Ziyu seemed to think.
Zhou Fan just kept quiet, it was impossible if he said. 'But the imperial palace has her', could she be accused of doing this on purpose and it wouldn't end well for her.
Everyone waited, and for a long time no sound was heard.
"I have the crystal beast you want, no need to bet, I'll give it to the winner of the fight." Emperor Shao spoke up, he told one of the servants to take the crystal from the palace warehouse.
Her smile was beautifully painted on the young man's face. He had put the bait, he didn't think anyone would grab. This is definitely a big catch, not to be let go.
