225: Rapid progress!

In the giant dueling arena, Chen Fan stood proudly, bathed in blood.

This appearance was exactly like a triumphant general returning from battle.

"Babata, arrange an Astral Rank 1st-stage 'Chen Fan' for me. I want to fight myself!"

Suddenly, Chen Fan spoke again, his tone incredibly firm.

Babata's expression changed upon hearing this, and he couldn't help but ask:

"Huh?"

"Lord Chen Fan, are you sure?"

Babata blinked his blood-red eyes, looking at Chen Fan, and confirmed again.

"Yes!"

"I'm sure!"

Chen Fan nodded solemnly, his eyes revealing a look of certainty.

"Alright, Little Devil will arrange it for you right away!"

Babata replied cheerfully, then immediately set up the program and sent out the request.

Buzz! Buzz! Buzz!

Accompanying the spatial ripples, a 'Chen Fan' wearing 3rd-stage blood god armor and holding a 3rd-stage ice hell Battle Blade floated not far from Chen Fan.

The pressure emanating from this opponent was in no way inferior to Chen Fan's current self.

A bit strong!!!

Looking at this familiar 'self', Chen Fan's eyes narrowed slightly, and he made his judgment.

Boom!!!

Similarly, a triple three-attribute Yin-Yang Domain erupted, and terrifying power swept the surroundings.

Feeling the intensity of this domain, Chen Fan's expression grew even more solemn.

Although the pressure from his opponent was immense, Chen Fan's fighting spirit grew even stronger!

"This is the feeling, bring it on!!!"

A look of satisfaction appeared on Chen Fan's face.

The next moment, Chen Fan moved!

It was still his familiar preemptive strike!

At the same time, the opponent 'Chen Fan' also moved!

Without any fancy moves, it was the most direct and primitive clash from the start!

First to make contact were the Yin-Yang Domains released by the two of them.

The triple domains invaded each other's territories!

Within the domain, blade light fiercely clashed with blade light.

Terrifying aftershocks swept in all directions, with astonishing power!

Rumble!

This was the sound created by the domain clash, terrifying to behold!

Babata watched all of this with wide eyes, his expression a little nervous, yet his eyes were filled with longing and curiosity.

He wanted to see what kind of situation Lord Chen Fan would be in when facing an almost identical opponent.

Although in the third battle, Chen Fan directly set an Astral Rank 1st-stage version of himself as the opponent.

It seemed a bit irrational, but it was also within reason.

Babata understood the mindset of such a prodigy.

However, Chen Fan's opponent this time not only possessed the strength of an Astral Rank 1st-stage.

He also had the same 3rd-stage battle armor and 3rd-stage Origin Power weapon, ice hell.

Furthermore, the opponent 'Chen Fan' also possessed the same triple three-attribute domain.

The outcome for both sides was still unknown.

In the stands, Liu Qiyue watched this battle with great interest, her beautiful eyes half-closed, looking very beautiful.

Unfortunately, Chen Fan didn't have the chance to see this scene!

The battle was still raging fiercely.

This battle was extremely brutal for Chen Fan, basically an evenly matched fight.

Finally, the two fought until exhaustion, Chen Fan gritting his teeth and holding on to his last breath, thrusting his Battle Blade fiercely through his opponent's chest.

He achieved the final victory!

Lying on the giant stone slab stained red with blood, Chen Fan gulped down fresh air.

This was the first time he had encountered such a arduous battle since becoming a Planetary Level.

Even when he encountered seven King-level and one Emperor-level monster at the mouth of the Huangpu River, he had not been so disheveled.

A cool, chilling sensation spread across Chen Fan's back and throughout his body, and Chen Fan couldn't help but recall that battle at the river mouth.

Back then, still only an Advanced God of War, he relied on his powerful Spiritual power and the incredibly tacit cooperation with Invincible God of War Lin Xinghe to ultimately resist the attack of the King-level Giant Squid.

Today's battle was almost identical to that day, perhaps even more so!

Looking at the dim sky, Chen Fan's eyes grew brighter.

"Babata, arrange seventy more Astral Rank 8th-stage warriors for me!"

"One hour later, I want to fight again!"

"Understood!"

"..."

Time passed by bit by bit.

Unbeknownst to him, Chen Fan had already engaged in forty hours of brutal combat in the Slaughter Space—

The first time, Chen Fan slaughtered ten Astral Rank 7th-stage warriors.

The second time, Chen Fan also faced fifty pure Astral Rank 7th-stage warriors alone, only suffering minor superficial wounds!

The third time, Chen Fan directly created an opponent 'Chen Fan', Astral Rank 1st-stage with a triple three-attribute domain, using a 3rd-stage Origin Power weapon and 3rd-stage battle armor... In the end, Chen Fan almost used every last ounce of his strength, relying on his tenacious will to defeat his opponent.

This battle was almost a brush with death.

After an hour of rest, Chen Fan's opponent for the fourth time was eighty pure Astral Rank 8th-stage warriors.

Without any surprise, after Chen Fan killed nearly forty warriors, he was overwhelmed by the remaining ones and died tragically on the spot.

The fourth time, Chen Fan again set an opponent equivalent to 'Chen Fan'... In forty hours, Chen Fan experienced sixteen major battles.

Among them, he won completely 4 times, narrowly won 5 times, and won by fighting to the death 1 time.

The remaining 6 times were all crushing defeats.

But it was in this alternation of wins and losses that Chen Fan made very obvious progress.

More importantly, Chen Fan also discovered that his proud combat skills were actually completely inadequate in this Slaughter Arena, which had existed for an unknown period of time.

Especially when encountering opponents with the same strength, weapons, and domain as himself, Chen Fan's battles would become difficult.

But with each battle, Chen Fan would frantically absorb experience and fill in his own shortcomings.

Thus, in one life-and-death struggle after another, Chen Fan's improvement speed was astonishing, a toast to success.

After sixteen major battles, Chen Fan had already made leaps and bounds compared to when he first stepped into the Slaughter Arena!

In these battles, the combat experience and skills he gained had already enabled him to face an opponent of the same rank as himself without as much difficulty.

The opponent 'Chen Fan', whom he previously needed to exert all his strength to defeat, could now be defeated by Chen Fan with only ninety percent of his strength.

The last time, Chen Fan's confidence soared, and he even wanted to challenge an Astral Rank 2nd-stage version of himself.

Without any surprise, Chen Fan lost, being sharply cut down.

He was utterly defeated!

...After sixteen battles, when Chen Fan reappeared, he was back in the original yellow sand area.

At this moment, Chen Fan was lying sprawled out in the yellow sand, feeling an indescribable comfort throughout his body.

The continuous battles made Chen Fan feel an unprecedented exhilaration.

Especially when fighting an evenly matched version of himself, Chen Fan had no choice but to go all out.

Every attack, defense, and even retreat consumed all of Chen Fan's thoughts.

It was in such a high-intensity, high-pressure combat environment that Chen Fan clearly felt his rapid progress.

In battle after battle, Chen Fan was like a giant sponge, constantly absorbing combat experience.

After each battle, regardless of victory or defeat, Chen Fan experienced a significant improvement.

"Feels good, doesn't it!"

At this moment, Little Devil sat down on a sand dune beside Chen Fan, playing with the yellow sand to himself.

"Mmm, it feels very good!"

Chen Fan nodded slightly, a satisfied expression appearing on his face.

He watched Babata grab a handful of yellow sand, and then strands of fine sand slipped from his fingertips, carried away by the wind.

Watching the fine yellow sand constantly merging into the sand dune, Chen Fan showed a thoughtful expression.

"Accumulate earth to form mountains, and wind and rain will rise; accumulate water to form abysses, and dragons will be born."

At this moment, this ancient saying suddenly appeared in Chen Fan's mind.

He couldn't help but think of his current self; wasn't he relying on the accumulation of one battle after another to gradually achieve rapid progress?

As he thought about it, a relaxed smile appeared on Chen Fan's lips.

He spread his arms and legs, lying on the yellow sand in a large 'wood' character.

Beside him, Babata also lay down on the soft yellow sand...
