91: The storm is coming, extraordinary warriors

As soon as Jiang Fan hung up the phone, he clicked on the club's website.

To his astonishment, a global dark web had actually created a promotional video of his decisive battle and placed it prominently on the homepage of their official website.

The video featured edited highlights from Jiang Fan's previous battles, while his opponent Chen Ping'an was represented by lines and lines of text.

The text revealed Chen Ping'an's impressive past achievements.

At 35, he single-handedly fought a pack of Level 5 Vicious Beast Wind Armored Wolves.

At 40, he single-handedly counter-killed three Advanced Elite Martial Warriors.

Finally, Extraordinary Martial Artist and Half-step Grandmaster were used as personal summaries, building up the hype!

Jiang Fan shook his head. Was the club trying to stir up a topic to attract traffic?

It seemed the club wanted to heat things up to get more people involved.

For the bookmaker, the more people involved in this kind of sure-win business, the better!

The forum on the website was also full of discussions about the upcoming match.

"Gung Yue's opponent this time is a bit too strong, isn't he? He's a Half-step Grandmaster; how can he fight a Junior?"

"That's not right. Since it's a battle within the same Realm, isn't it reasonable?"

"Reasonable, my foot? How can a Half-step Grandmaster's combat experience compare to a young person's?"

"One has experience, the other is young and full of Qi. Isn't that very reasonable? Each has their strengths!"

"What's all the fuss about? The two combatants themselves have no objections, so why are you all arguing here?"

"That's true. I'm just struggling with which one to bet on this time."

"Listen to me, all in on Gung Yue. Bet big to win big!"

"Forget it. This opponent is too strong this time. I'm afraid I'll lose everything."

...

Jiang Fan shook his head as he watched the netizens' discussions.

In the afternoon,

Jiang Fan, who was deeply engrossed in Cultivating, was interrupted by an urgent knocking sound.

Jiang Fan opened the door and was stunned to see a group of beautiful women standing there.

Jiang Na, Xiao Min, and Yan Fei blocked the doorway, each looking at Jiang Fan with worried eyes.

Soon after, the 'battlefield' naturally moved to the living room.

Everyone began to bombard Jiang Fan's eardrums in turn.

Jiang Na's parental authority immediately came online:

"Are you getting too big for your britches?

Who told you to go to that kind of club to fight in the arena?

And a life-and-death arena at that? Do you want to infuriate me?"

Seeing this, Jiang Fan, displaying his Tai Chi prowess, immediately grinned:

"Didn't Qiu say that my Qi and blood were weak and needed real combat in life-and-death situations to improve? So I went to improve and train myself, to temper myself, and thus advance further in the Martial Dao!"

Qiu Nanfeng, who had been invited to mediate, heard this and immediately spat out a mouthful of hot tea:

"You brat, this has nothing to do with me! How did you drag me into this!"

Jiang Fan chuckled:

"Didn't I think Qiu's suggestion was excellent, which is why I thought of finding such a place to Cultivate? And don't even mention it, after these few days of fighting, my strength has improved quite a bit! Now, let alone a Half-step Grandmaster, I won't even fear a Great Grandmaster!"

"You! ... Stop being so glib! Are you saying I can't control you anymore?! What's this about fighting a Half-step Grandmaster in the arena? Do you have a death wish?"

Jiang Na's face turned pale with anger.

Xiao Min also advised from the side:

"Tempering oneself is a good thing, but this arena fight is too dangerous! If something happens to you, what will your sister do?!"

The 'culprit' Yan Fei, meanwhile, added fuel to the fire:

"Exactly. That Half-step Grandmaster said he would suppress his Realm, but what if he gets desperate and stops suppressing his Realm? You'd be dead for sure! The Zhang family already has a vendetta against you; this time, they're coming for your life!"

Jiang Fan, helpless, glared fiercely at Yan Fei.

Yan Fei, seeing this, quickly hid behind Xiao Min:

"You all must stand up for me. He didn't want me to say anything, but I told you this because I was worried about his safety!"

Jiang Na glared at Jiang Fan and said:

"You can't blame Yan Fei for this. How could you keep such an important matter from me all this time?! Is there any way to cancel the match now?"

Jiang Fan spread his hands helplessly:

"It's already set. It can't be canceled. Given the club's methods, if I back out now, I'll probably face endless pursuit from the club."

Jiang Na's face instantly turned ashen upon hearing this:

"Then what do we do?"

The scene immediately fell silent, and everyone looked grim.

Jiang Fan kept winking at Qiu, and the two bargained with their eyes.

Only after Jiang Fan paid ten Essence Blood Pills did Qiu nod contentedly.

Qiu Nanfeng cleared his throat and said:

"I think, everyone, don't be so pessimistic! Although a Half-step Grandmaster is formidable, he is, after all, suppressing his Realm to participate, so Jiang Fan still has a very good chance!"

Upon hearing this, the previously dejected crowd exploded.

"Qiu, this is no joke. This is a life-and-death arena; if he loses, he'll lose his life!"

"Exactly, Qiu, you can't be so irresponsible!"

"If anything happens to Jiang Fan, you'll have to be my younger brother!"

...

Qiu Nanfeng hadn't expected these few people to be so vocal and blurted out in a panic:

"Don't worry, this small matter won't stump me! Next, I will conduct special training for Jiang Fan, guaranteeing that he can win this match!"

Upon hearing this, the women all breathed a sigh of relief.

"This is what Qiu himself said. Your word is your bond; you're a man of your word, so we believe you won't trick us!"

"Exactly. With your status as a Great Grandmaster, we believe you wouldn't tarnish your reputation!"

"If there's any accident, you have to issue a national announcement, call me older sister! Be my younger brother!"

...

Half an hour later.

Qiu Nanfeng sat gloomily in the training room:

"You brat, are you deliberately acting to trick me? I haven't even finished the purification matter yet?"

Jiang Fan slanted an eye at him:

"I don't have time for that. Why don't you go on with your purification? You're an eyesore staying here!"

Qiu Nanfeng heard this, and thinking of the women at the door watching like overseers, he grumbled:

"You! You brat! Hmph, I won't stoop to your level!"

Jiang Fan's eyes darted around, and he suddenly remembered that Chen Ping'an was an Extraordinary Martial Artist, so he asked:

"Brother Qiu, what's the deal with Extraordinary Martial Artists? Tell me about it, you're just idling anyway."

Qiu Nanfeng heard this and disdainfully glanced at Jiang Fan, then turned his body away:

"I don't have that much free time! I can first deduce my purification plan!"

Jiang Fan suddenly yelled at the top of his lungs:

"Sis, someone here is slacking off!"

Qiu Nanfeng heard this and immediately jumped up from the ground:

"Brother! You are my brother! Don't shout, I'll explain it to you right now!"

After an explanation, Jiang Fan finally had a concept of Extraordinary Martial Artists.

It turned out that the Cultivation of normal Martial Artists relies on tempering the body and increasing the power of Qi and blood to achieve the goal of increasing combat power.

However, some Martial Artists have the talent to mobilize elemental forces such as wind, thunder, fire, water, and earth. These Martial Artists with elemental power are significantly stronger than ordinary Martial Artists, and their means of dealing with enemies are also much richer.

Therefore, these Martial Artists are called Extraordinary Martial Artists.
