Legendary Fighter
Chapters... 49: Friend of the Devil
As the qualification round was about to begin, the cultivators began to gather around the arena the host party had prepared.
Zhou Fan who saw many people leaving the tavern with hurried steps immediately tried to stop some visitors passing through his desk.
"Wait for my brother, where are you going? Why is it rushing like that?" he asked when he saw one of the visitors stopping at Zhou Fan's desk.
"Aren't you going to qualify? the show will start soon, you will be late if you don't move now," said the visitor as he left Zhou Fan, he was in a hurry because he also intended to enter the qualifiers.
Zhou Fan glanced at Lee who was still busy with his drink.
"Lee, let's go there now!" take him to the young man in front of him.
Lee just nodded without saying anything in response to his friend's invitation, Zhou fan who saw Lee's attitude was a little surprised.
"Not usually he's quiet, he looks more annoying when he's quiet," he said.
On the way, Zhou Fan tried to talk to Lee, but the young man's reply made Zhou Fan even more astonished, because Lee only answered with the shortest answer he could, unlike he usually did.
"Lee?"
"Hey..." Lee only muttered in response to Zhou Fan's call.
Zhou Fan scrunched his forehead even more, "You why? It's not usually easy to talk." he asked who was very curious about what made his friend so quiet
"My stomach hurts...." Squeak Lee while stroking his queen's stomach slowly.
Ha's? Zhou Fan could not help but be surprised, his friend became quiet because his stomach was hurting.
"Hahaha, I told you! don't drink too much, you go on, haha...." Zhou Fan instead laughed at his friend, instead of Zhou Fan not pity but he had already told his friend not to drink much but the friend ignored him, feel his pleasure, he thought.
Instead of helping his suffering friend, he looks happy over the misery of his friend, his accursed friend, Lee thought.
"Did you see, you said 'no problem, it's just a few glasses', haha..." Zhou Fan tried to mimic Lee's words when Zhou Fan tried to tell his friend.
"Sad..." Lee left Zhou Fan alone out of annoyance, he dashed towards the gathering place at a speed he was able to pull out.
.

Huh huh.. Lee arrived at the gathering place with a stingy breath.
"Surely he can't catch up to me, I'm going to be very fast" he said proudly, looking back.
"Heh... Lee was at the opponent," he said again after not seeing Zhou Fan's shadow behind him, he thought Zhou Fan was still far behind him.
"Ehem...."
Uh..
Lee was surprised to hear a deheman from beside him, not the deheman who surprised him but the deheman's voice sounded familiar to his ears.
Lee turned to the side, where the deheman came from, slowly he turned his head.
1... 2... 3... Wa!
"Since when!" Lee pointed at Zhou Fan while shouting.
"No need to be so surprised, your running speed is not as fast as you think, even I was waiting for you earlier," Zhou Fan said casually.
Although Zhou Fan said it casually, but not with Lee's response, he seemed to be in disbelief with what Zhou Fan said.
How could he believe that if the one who spoke like that was a 9-star beginner fighter cultivation level, he who was already at the level of a 1-star proficient fighter certainly did not believe Zhou Fan's words.
Lee was indeed unable to figure out because this time Zhou Fan put his ring back on so that the cultivation that could be checked by others was the level of a 9-star beginner fighter.
An old man spoke out loud in front of the crowd of participants, the man started to explain some things related to the qualifying round.
The qualifying round will consist of 2 stages, the first stage is selection, at this stage all those who have a minimum cultivation of 5-star beginner fighters and a maximum age of 23 years are entitled to continue to the second stage, in the second stage it is what determines whether to succeed or not, in the second round he will be held with the knockout system, all participants will get a token and will be drawn to determine who fights.
The man also explained that there were only 12 quota left, and he ended his speech with an expression of encouragement to all participants, and was greeted by cheers of those participants.
In accordance with the first stage system, all participants begin to line up at several available points, there are a total of five places that can be used to make the selection, participants who pass will get a token containing the name of each participant who passes, while those who do not escape can only look with a disappointed face.
Although it could be by examining it directly, this first stage used a crystal that could accurately guess its age, whereas to know the cultivation level of the participants it was necessary to ring a bell with its fists.
The first stage could be passed by Zhou Fan easily, he was only with his physical strength alone already on par with a one-star proficient fighter.
Likewise with Lee, the young man was also able to get away with it easily, Zhou Fan was so surprised to find out Lee's true age, because from his appearance Lee looked like the same age as Zhou Fan was even younger, even younger, Zhou Fan thought that he was older than Lee because Lee's face looked like that of a 17-year-old young man.
"Lee, you're older than me, at first I thought we were the same age" said Zhou Fan, who was still slightly distrustful.
Lee who saw Zhou fan's expression just chuckled, he approached Zhou fan.
"Why? I didn't expect my face to look so young" he said, blinking his eyes.
Zhou fan rolled his eyeballs carelessly at Lee's unreasonable behavior in his opinion.
"When I intend to make fun of him, but he looks so proud, so annoying," he grumbled inwardly.
About 48 participants managed to proceed to the next round, on average the participants had the cultivation of 9-star novice fighters and there were some who were already at the level of 1-star advanced fighters.
Zhou Fan looked around, precisely he was examining the strength of the other participants.
"It looks like it will be very easy" Zhou Fan said.
Zhou Fan had thought about facing the participants by using only his physical strength, he thought it would be very interesting.
"Why are you smiling like that?" lee asked suspiciously when he saw Zhou Fan's mysterious smile.
"I'm kanapa?" he asked Lee back, he pura did not understand the meaning of Lee's question by putting on his stupid face.
"Tiba arrived smiling indistinctly..," Lee replied wryly.
Zhou Fan chuckled, seeing that his friend was upset with him, saying that making someone upset was very pleasant.
Seeing all the participants stuffing their tickets into a large wooden box, Zhou Fan followed suit.
"Hehe, hopefully I can meet Lee in the last 12" Zhou Fan said in his heart, hoping to fight against his friend, but he did not expect the fight to happen quickly, at least after the two had earned a place to the black stone city tournament, he did not want his friend to be unable to enter the tournament just because he was defeated by him during the second stage.
