190: Chapter 190 First Battle! Instant annihilation!

Battles in the Silver Dragon Duel Arena were also mostly conducted online.

The entire duel arena was roughly divided into the Apprentice Level Arena, Star-Treading Level Arena, and Star Shattering Rank Arena; there were currently none above those.

At least not in the Silver Dragon Duel Arena.

Existences at that level would be considered powerhouses even in the vast universe.

Unless it was an ultra-large, top-tier duel arena, it was unlikely to have matches of that level.

In all three arenas, there were many people watching and betting.

Among them, the Star Shattering Rank Arena had the most people.

The reason was simple: the stronger the power, the more exciting the battle, and the less likely a crushing victory would occur; it tested one's research and judgment of the Contestants when betting.

Li Fan had signed up for the Star-Treading Level Arena.

He clicked on the Star-Treading Level Arena.

In the next second, Li Fan appeared in the preparation backstage of a massive Beast Fighting Arena.

He was the only one in the entire backstage.

[Frenzied Warrior, this is your first appearance. Your current appearance fee is 50,000 cosmic coins. Your appearance fee will change based on your number of victories.]

[Currently, your prize pool is 0, with a commission rate of one ten-thousandth. Ten minutes before your appearance, we will show your basic information to the audience, and the prize pool will officially open...]

[Would you like to start matching an opponent now?]

Before Li Fan could even start operating, a prompt from the Silver Dragon Duel Arena popped up.

Looking at the prompt, Li Fan nodded slightly.

His current appearance fee was 50,000 cosmic coins.

This price wasn't very high, but it was actually reasonable, and he could fully accept it.

After all, his paper strength was only at the third stage of the Star-Treading Level, which was considered a lower level in the entire Star-Treading Level Arena.

Immediately.

Li Fan took a deep breath and immediately chose to start matching an opponent.

After a few minutes, the duel arena matched Li Fan with an opponent of similar cultivation.

However, after the match was successful, the duel didn't start immediately; there was about ten minutes of preparation time.

During this period, both sides of the duel could see the real-time numerical changes in their prize pools.

Li Fan's current prize pool—the amount bet on him to win—was currently 200 million cosmic coins, and it was already starting to slow down.

To be honest.

This was really a bit low.

Because if he took one ten-thousandth, he would only get 20,000 cosmic coins, which was lower than his appearance fee.

The reason it was so low was naturally because he was a newcomer; after all, few people would bet a large amount of money on a newcomer winning.

However, Li Fan didn't particularly care about this.

His primary goal in coming to this duel arena was to master the Frenzied Battle Prairie Art; making money was just incidental.

Soon.

Ten minutes passed.

With the end of a countdown.

In the next second.

Li Fan appeared inside the Beast Fighting Arena.

Looking around, the audience was sparse, not very many, roughly around tens of thousands of people.

For a giant Beast Fighting Arena that could accommodate a million people, this number was truly very small.

The reason was naturally self-evident.

Neither side of the duel had any fame.

"Both sides of this duel seem to be newcomers. I wonder what the situation is?"

"The introduction says they're both only at the third stage of the Star-Treading Level. There shouldn't be much to see, but it should be okay for passing the time."

"Who did you bet on? I bet on Frenzied Warrior. I feel like the name he chose is quite arrogant; his strength should be decent!"

"The weaker the person, the flashier the name. I bet on that one called Blue Eagle. And judging by the name, she's probably a girl in reality!"

"I also bet on Blue Eagle, simply because I think the name sounds good. Anyway, I didn't bet much, just for entertainment. By the way, brothers, are there any super newcomers or top seedlings in our duel arena lately? My Dao companion wants me to buy a C-class spaceship, otherwise she won't let me conceive offspring with her. I want to find an opportunity to take a gamble!"

"Wait, brother, you're quite the romantic! A C-class spaceship costs at least ten billion. If it really doesn't work out, just change Dao companions, or just buy a bunch of slaves."

"Exactly. With that kind of money, it's better to buy a slave planet."

...

In the spectator stands.

At this moment, bursts of discussion rang out, very noisy.

Shifting the focus to the arena.

Li Fan's opponent, Blue Eagle, was a young man who looked very handsome, but he had two purple horns on his head, making him look not quite human.

In the duel arena, Contestants not only used code names for their names, but their appearances were also basically not their original ones.

However, no matter how much the appearance changed, the race generally wouldn't be changed.

For example, Li Fan's current appearance had also undergone some changes, but he still looked like a young human male.

Soon.

The battle was on the verge of breaking out.

"Die!"

His opponent Blue Eagle shouted sharply, and a pitch-black halberd suddenly appeared in his hand.

The halberd swung, bringing a burst of terrifying astral wind, slashing fiercely towards Li Fan with an intimidating aura!

Facing the slashing halberd, Li Fan clenched his fists, and a touch of heat began to rise slowly.

This was exactly the Frenzied Battle Prairie Art!

However, compared to King Jinju in the video, it was naturally more than just a little bit worse.

"Is this guy called 'Frenzied Warrior' not planning to dodge?"

"As expected, the more arrogant the name, the weaker the strength. He probably didn't even react."

"A newcomer is a newcomer; he hasn't adapted to the rhythm of the duel arena yet."

"Damn! I bet on Frenzied Warrior, but luckily I didn't bet much."

In the spectator stands, seeing Li Fan clenching his fists without any movement, everyone couldn't help but shake their heads.

Especially those who had bet on Li Fan winning; they were all feeling lucky that they hadn't bet much.

He's so weak he doesn't even have the ability to react. How can he even play?

But in the next second.

This group of people clicked their tongues and froze on the spot.

Because at this moment, although Blue Eagle's body maintained a slashing posture, his head had already been blown to pieces, turning into clouds of blood mist, and his whole body began to slowly dissipate.

In just the blink of an eye.

Li Fan had achieved an overwhelming victory; they couldn't even see the battle process clearly.

"Huh?"

"Holy crap!"

"This!"

...

Almost everyone on the scene had faces full of extreme shock, stunned by the strength Li Fan displayed.

However, the exclamations didn't last long.

After all, in the duel arena, Contestants like this would often pop up, but many were just a flash in the pan and couldn't last.

Truly terrifying super newcomers would withstand the test of time.

"Frenzied Warrior, wins!"

Following the result announced in the duel arena.

This duel officially ended, and Li Fan also exited the Beast Fighting Arena. At the moment of exit, Li Fan received a notification that the funds had arrived.

The commission plus the appearance fee totaled less than 100,000 cosmic coins.

"This level of strength is still too weak; it doesn't provide much training effect."

Returning to the backstage, Li Fan was clearly not very satisfied with his opponent, Blue Eagle.

There was nothing he could do; his current strength was comparable to the seventh stage of the Star-Treading Level, so existences at the same realm as him offered no challenge.

To match with stronger opponents, it seemed he still needed to increase his win count.

Immediately.

Li Fan immediately began the next duel.
