549: Chapter 549 Qin Yan – Eight Consecutive Victories!

Night soon descended.

The Fifth Grade Arena heated up once again. The massive arena was brightly lit, and the clamor of voices was deafening.

The spectator stands were packed to capacity, with tens of thousands of gazes focused on the center of the field.

The two egg-shaped beings, Dashing and Dashuai, still stood in the center of the field, announcing match after match in their humorous and impassioned voices.

Bout after bout broke out in succession, as the surrounding spectators shouted with enthusiasm.

There were fist-to-flesh brawls, duels of flashing blades and swords, collisions of crisscrossing True Qi, and spectacles of Martial Skills flying everywhere.

Every match was brilliant; every match was intense.

“Next, let us invite the next pair of challengers.”

Dashing's voice resounded throughout the arena, loud and impassioned.

“Stone Human Clan—Yan Feng!”

A burly man from the Stone Human Clan walked out from the tunnel.

He had a stalwart build, his entire body composed of grayish-green rock; with every step he took, the ground trembled slightly.

“His opponent is the Taixuan Holy Land Special Grade Disciple—Qin Yan!”

Dashing spoke, but as soon as he finished, he felt something was wrong.

Qin Yan? Why was he coming onto the stage!

He knew about Qin Yan 'resigning' from the arena today.

Deacon Sun Cheng had personally brought people to handle the procedures this morning, so how could he not know?

In that case, Qin Yan's status at this moment was that of a challenger!

Dashing and Dashuai glanced at each other, both seeing a sense of foreboding in the other's eyes!

They never imagined that Qin Yan would be so underhanded?

He was a Gold Medal Arena Defender yesterday, and today he had turned into a challenger?

This guy had simply figured out the arena's rules perfectly!

The audience was also stunned for a moment, but then they all reacted.

“Qin Yan! It's Qin Yan! He wants to be a challenger!”

“Hahaha! Now there's a good show to watch! With Qin Yan as a challenger, who can stop him?”

“I bet 30 tiangang points on Qin Yan's victory!”

“I also bet 30 tiangang points on Qin Yan's victory!”

“Who can lend me 29 tiangang points? I want to bet on Qin Yan winning too!”

“I'm betting too! I'm putting down my entire net worth!”

In the spectator stands, a betting craze instantly erupted.

One after another, resources were poured into the pillars of light, and the light representing bets on Qin Yan flickered incessantly.

That light was more dazzling than at any other time.

The betting phase ended, and the match began shortly after!

As for Qin Yan's opponent, Yan Feng of the Stone Human Clan, perhaps because it was his first time participating or for some other reason, he had not heard of Qin Yan's great name.

He stood on the Fighting Arena, looking at the seemingly frail youth opposite him, his eyes filled with blazing Battle Intent!

He only knew that the person before him was his opponent.

By defeating him, he could win tiangang points.

“Hah!”

Yan Feng let out a furious roar as earthy yellow True Qi surged wildly around him!

He raised that massive stone hammer and charged toward Qin Yan!

Upon the stone hammer, the earthy yellow light grew stronger and brighter!

This hammer strike was heavy and powerful, enough to split mountains and shatter rocks!

Seeing this, Qin Yan's expression remained unchanged.

He simply raised his long spear and gave it a light sweep—

“Bang—!!!”

A muffled thud!

Yan Feng's stalwart body was like one struck by a giant mountain, instantly sent flying backward!

He flew dozens of meters away, smashing heavily onto the Fighting Arena and kicking up a cloud of dust!

“Pfft—!”

A mouthful of blood sprayed out wildly!

He struggled to get up, only to find that every bone in his body was groaning; he was simply powerless to fight again!

He raised his head, and the gaze he directed at Qin Yan was full of terror!

This... how could this person be so strong?!

He was clearly also at the Fifth Grade Peak!

How could he not even take a single spear strike from the opponent?!

Qin Yan withdrew his long spear, his expression calm.

He hadn't dared to use his full strength just now, fearing he might kill the opponent in one hit.

“Next match.”

Qin Yan spoke indifferently.

That voice was calm and nonchalant, yet it resounded throughout the entire arena.

The spectator stands boiled over once again!

“As expected of my God Yan, so overbearing!”

“Exactly, he doesn't even need to rest, badass!”

“Qin Yan, I want to have your babies!”

“Get lost! You're a man, why are you joining in the fun!”

In the audience, cheers, shouts, and banter rose and fell.

Seeing this, Dashing also agreed to Qin Yan's request.

According to the arena rules, a challenger could issue consecutive challenges as long as they had enough stamina.

He directly announced the opponent for the next match!

The second match began.

The opponent was a Werewolf Clan Martial Artist at the Fifth Grade Peak, extremely fast with sharp attacks.

But—

He still couldn't block a single spear strike from Qin Yan.

One spear, an instant kill.

“Next match.”

Qin Yan's voice rang out again.

Third match.

The opponent was an Elf Clan archer, a long-range attacker with precise archery.

But—

Qin Yan didn't even get close; with just a single burst of Spear Qi, he sent the opponent flying.

One spear, an instant kill.

“Next match.”

Fourth match.

Fifth match.

Sixth match.

Seventh match.

Eighth match.

One opponent after another ascended the arena, but none were a match for Qin Yan for even a single exchange.

There were power types, speed types, long-range types, and close-combat types.

There were those on the path of Qi Refining, those on the path of Body Refining, and those who practiced Dual Cultivation of Qi and Body.

But regardless of who the opponent was or what methods they used—

Before Qin Yan, it was always a matter of a single spear strike.

One spear was enough.

“Eight consecutive victories! It's eight consecutive victories!”

“Qin Yan is going for a ten-win streak!”

“Ten wins! Ten wins! Ten wins!”

“I've already won eight bets! I've made a fortune!”

Cheers and shouts resounded throughout the arena.

“Next match!”

As Qin Yan spoke again, a figure slowly walked out from the tunnel.

It was a Half-Dragon, stalwart of build, with a thick back and broad shoulders, his entire body covered in dark red dragon scales.

A pair of curved dragon horns grew from his head, his eyes were vertical slits, and he dragged a thick dragon tail behind him, its tip as sharp as a blade.

His hands were dragon claws, their tips glinting with a cold light as if they could tear through anything.

He radiated the aura of the Fifth Grade Peak, and he was even a practitioner of Dual Cultivation of Qi and Body!

That aura was deep and heavy, carrying the unique pressure of the Dragon Clan.

He walked toward the Fighting Arena step by step, each step making the ground tremble and carrying an invisible sense of oppression.

Qin Yan looked at the opponent, his heart filled with a myriad of emotions.

Yesterday, he had the same status as this Half-Dragon.

He just hadn't expected that so soon, he would turn from a defender into a challenger, from the one being challenged to the one challenging others.

“Match start!”

As Dashing's voice fell, this much-anticipated duel officially began.

Facing an opponent of this level—a dual Fifth Grade Peak—Qin Yan had to be a bit more serious to resolve the matter easily.

It was still the familiar opening move—Blood Mist Domain activated!

Layers of dense blood qi surged wildly from Qin Yan's body, spreading toward the entire arena in the blink of an eye!

Wherever the blood mist covered, a faint scent of blood permeated the air.

The Half-Dragon only felt his internal blood qi stagnate, his strength weakened by ten percent out of thin air!

Then, the Spirit Weapon Skill—Blood Burst activated!
