194: Chapter 194 The Silver Dragon City Lord's Appreciation, and the Decisions of Major Conglomerates!

Hearing this,

the butler and the man standing nearby were both stunned for a moment.

The City Lord of Silver Dragon is actually going to watch the fight?

This truly surprised the two of them!

Although the Silver Dragon Duel Arena has very high popularity, and many dignitaries often visit for entertainment,

for someone of the City Lord of Silver Dragon's stature, it was absolutely impossible for him to show any interest.

It seemed that the reason the City Lord of Silver Dragon wanted to watch was likely to see if this newcomer seedling met his standards.

...

Not long after.

The three of them changed their appearances and arrived at the Beast Fighting Arena where Li Fan was.

Currently,

with Li Fan's continuous rise in popularity, the number of spectators in the Beast Fighting Arena had reached fifteen million, presenting a lively and bustling scene as far as the eye could see.

And below,

Li Fan's battle was underway.

In this match, Li Fan's opponent was someone at the eighth stage of the Star-Treading Level.

Compared to previous fights, this one for Li Fan was not as easy; in fact, it could be described as extremely intense.

However, the fighting spectacle was thrilling for the audience to watch.

Li Fan met punch with punch, his moves broad and powerful, like thunder and majestic might, while his opponent possessed sharp movement techniques, wielding his spear with divine skill, resembling a swimming dragon.

For a time,

the two fought fiercely, neither giving way.

"A mere fourth stage of the Star-Treading Level, yet he can fight the eighth stage of the Star-Treading Level to a standstill. No wonder so many high-ranking powers sent people to seek him out. He is absolutely a super newcomer!"

The butler couldn't help but sigh as he watched Li Fan in the arena.

The man beside him, who was the owner of the Silver Dragon Duel Arena, Director Jiang, also nodded in agreement.

Li Fan's combat performance was in no way inferior to those star Contestants, and most importantly, Li Fan was only at the fourth stage of the Star-Treading Level, meaning his potential was immense.

If Li Fan reached the ninth stage of the Star-Treading Level, his combat power would be simply unimaginable.

At that time, at least in the Star-Treading Level Arena, he would absolutely be a dominant existence!

"He is indeed strong, but if he continues fighting like this, he is going to lose."

Director Jiang slowly shook his head at this moment.

In his view, although Li Fan was strong, his combat techniques were still lacking; he was basically engaging in direct confrontation with his opponent every time.

As the saying goes, longer reach means stronger attack. If Li Fan could somehow manage to close the distance and get close, he might have a chance, but Li Fan seemingly lacked that ability.

In the short term, Li Fan could still fight back and forth, but as time wore on, Li Fan would inevitably fall into a disadvantage and be forced onto the defensive, leading to a slow death.

And soon,

the situation in the arena developed exactly as he had predicted; Li Fan quickly fell into a disadvantage.

However, the subsequent development was not what he had anticipated.

Just as the opponent thrust his long spear downwards, Li Fan's speed suddenly increased, and he stepped onto the opponent's spear to rush into close combat, then threw out a punch, ending the battle.

Accompanied by the cheers rising from the arena,

Director Jiang and the butler by his side both showed surprise.

"I didn't expect he was holding back some reserves."

"This combat power is truly terrifying!"

The two couldn't help but exclaim.

As for the City Lord of Silver Dragon beside them, a flicker of appreciation crossed his eyes.

"Frenzied Battle Prairie Art. This cultivation method has not been seen in a long time."

"It seems he has already cultivated it to the second level."

"If he can comprehend the third level, his combat power can be enhanced once more."

"The reason this little fellow is fighting continuously here is probably aiming for the third level, but comprehending the third level is no simple matter."

The City Lord of Silver Dragon recognized Li Fan's cultivation method and intent at a glance.

Immediately after,

he looked at Director Jiang beside him and said slowly, "Keep an eye on this person for me. If this person shows signs of rapid improvement in strength within a month, let me know."

"Also, hurry up and contact the Tianying Duel Arena. I have some matters to attend to, so I'll take my leave now."

With that said,

the City Lord of Silver Dragon withdrew from the Beast Fighting Arena and disappeared from the spot.

Director Jiang and the butler who remained exchanged a look, then turned their gaze toward Li Fan in the arena, their expressions becoming meaningful.

It seemed the City Lord of Silver Dragon had taken a liking to Li Fan.

Although they didn't know why the City Lord of Silver Dragon suddenly sought out a seedling at the Star-Treading Level, if Li Fan could truly be chosen, it would undoubtedly be a good thing for their Duel Arena.

Earning a favor from the City Lord of Silver Dragon—that value was something a super newcomer or a star Contestant could not compare to.

"Director, how should we reply to the conglomerate leaders regarding this?" At this moment, the butler raised the question he had asked earlier again.

What greeted him was a roll of the eyes.

"The person the City Lord favors, how do you think we should reply?"

"Let's talk about it again after a month!"

"For now, just tell them that regarding the matter of 'Frenzied Warrior,' our Duel Arena cannot make the decision. They will understand what that means."

...

Soon,

the major conglomerates received the news.

For a time,

all the major conglomerates fell silent collectively.

"What? The Duel Arena cannot make the decision?"

"Was this person snatched up by someone else in advance?"

"The Duel Arena cannot make the decision? Could it be that the identity of this 'Frenzied Warrior' is special and he is not purely a free agent?"

"Cannot make the decision? It seems the identity of this 'Frenzied Warrior' is not simple. Then we must change our strategy.

If we cannot absorb this person, then we must ride on this popularity wave. Notify all the Star-Treading Level Contestants currently resting—go and intercept 'Frenzied Warrior' now!"

"We should have thought of this long ago. With 'Frenzied Warrior' being so strong, he couldn't possibly be some free agent. Then let's find people to promote this, inflate the stakes, and take a slice of the cake!"

That's right.

The major conglomerates basically all understood the meaning behind Director Jiang's words.

They could not make a move on Li Fan for the time being.

However, driven by their scent for profit, they unanimously formulated a unified plan.

That was to ride the coattails of Li Fan's momentum, inflate the betting pools, and earn a substantial profit from it!

In just a short while,

the Star-Treading Level Contestants from all the major conglomerates began queueing for duels, and among them were even some star Contestants within the Star-Treading Level.

...

Meanwhile, Li Fan.

Li Fan remained completely unaware of the changes happening in the outside world.

However, even if he knew, Li Fan wouldn't have cared.

Because Li Fan's mind was entirely focused on comprehending the third level of the Frenzied Battle Prairie Art.

In that last battle, he had vaguely touched upon that realm for an instant.

If nothing unexpected happened,

he only needed to continue fighting and constantly verify his conjectures during combat; comprehending the third level would certainly be a sure thing.

"Let's continue."

Li Fan exhaled and clicked the option to continue matching.

Immediately after,

Li Fan began his next battle.
