At nine o'clock in the evening, in the northern district of Demon City Martial School.
Martial Combat Arena, on Arena Stage 47.
"In this match, contestant number 250 wins!"
With the announcement of the result, Chen Fan let out a sigh of relief.
Immediately, he collapsed onto the ground, gasping for air.
At this moment, Chen Fan was not only exhausted of soul power but also physically drained, clearly at his limit.
If his opponent had held on a bit longer, without even needing to make a move, Chen Fan would have fallen on his own.
But unfortunately for his opponent, they backed down and chose to concede.
Thus, the final victory belonged to Chen Fan!
Chen Fan had won his twentieth match.
That's right!
On just the first day of the Freshmen Championship, Chen Fan fought a total of twenty matches.
Seven in the morning, eight in the afternoon, and five in the evening!
Most importantly, he won all twenty matches.
The cost, however, was that Chen Fan was utterly exhausted, finding it difficult even to move a finger.
Of course, the result was worth it.
Winning these twenty matches earned Chen Fan a total of forty points.
If there were a freshmen points leaderboard right now, he would undoubtedly be at the top!
And those forty points were secondary.
The most important thing was that through these twenty matches, Chen Fan discovered some serious shortcomings in himself.
Although he won all twenty matches, the process was quite challenging.
Twenty matches meant twenty different opponents.
These twenty people were geniuses from all over the country!
Some had been trained since childhood, while others had been guided by renowned teachers since middle school...
Compared to them, Chen Fan from Lin City No.2 High School was really lacking.
Whether it was combat skills, the use of his soul power, or the control of his martial soul.
In all these aspects, Chen Fan couldn't match them!
And Chen Fan's peak soul power of a thousand points and Twin Martial Souls didn't offer much of an advantage at the Pseudo Martial Artist stage!
But in the end, Chen Fan still won!
Because he fought harder and feared death more than they did!
Chen Fan knew well that he was all alone, with no one supporting him.
To get more and better resources, he could only rely on himself to fight.
Moreover, fighting these people now at most resulted in bleeding or injuries.
But in the future, facing ferocious soul beasts, it would be a life-and-death struggle.
Chen Fan didn't want to die, so he had to fight harder now!
As the saying goes, those with nothing to lose fear nothing, and that's the truth!
Therefore, Chen Fan could win.
At this moment, the freshman who lost to Chen Fan looked at him with a complicated expression.
He knew well that Chen Fan was at his limit!
But he was truly scared.
Scared of Chen Fan's reckless demeanor!
From the start of their match, he noticed that Chen Fan's fighting style was chaotic.
As for combat skills and soul power usage, there was none!
So he was quite confident about this match.
But as the fight went on, this freshman realized something was wrong.
Chen Fan's ferocity, willing to harm himself to hurt the enemy, forced him to retreat step by step!
A quick look at bit.ly/3iBfjkV will leave you more fulfilled.
Until the end, this freshman clearly saw Chen Fan's weakness.
But he didn't dare to gamble!
So instead of risking whether Chen Fan had any cards left, he chose to concede!
Because fighting Chen Fan was too painful.
Besides, it was just a match between freshmen, winning or losing wasn't important!
Thinking of this, the freshman looked at Chen Fan, who was lying on the ground, and said,
"This time, I lost!"
"But next time, it won't be easy for you to win!"
Hearing this, Chen Fan struggled to speak,
"I... will wait..."
The freshman, seeing this, didn't care about Chen Fan's attitude and directly said,
"Remember, my name is Gongsun Yu!"
After saying that, without waiting for Chen Fan's response, he left the stage.
As for Chen Fan, he couldn't care less about the opponent's name.
At this moment, he just wanted to return to his dorm and get a good night's sleep.
However, the intense pain all over his body made it impossible for him to get up.
Chen Fan struggled to open his eyes and turned his head to look at the senior who hadn't left yet, saying,
"Senior... could you... notify my senior brother?"
The senior asked,
"Sure, what's your senior brother's name?"
"Bai... Bai Xiaoluo!"
"…"
Ten minutes later, Bai Xiaoluo arrived at the combat arena with a group of people, full of momentum.
Intolerable, someone dared to lay a hand on his junior brother at Demon City Martial School!
Seeing Chen Fan lying motionless on the stage, Bai Xiaoluo was furious!
"Junior brother!"
Bai Xiaoluo quickly stepped onto the stage.
Of course, he didn't let his anger cloud his judgment and first checked Chen Fan's condition.
Upon discovering that Chen Fan was just overly exhausted and had fainted, he breathed a sigh of relief.
Then, Bai Xiaoluo coldly looked at the senior acting as the referee.
He needed an explanation!
At this moment, Chen Fan's face was bruised and swollen, and his body was covered in injuries.
How could a match between freshmen result in such injuries!
The senior, seeing this, quickly recounted the events in detail.
He was well aware of Bai Xiaoluo's reputation at Demon City Martial School!
This was someone who could single-handedly take on a Level-5 Soul Beast with the strength of a Level-4 Martial Artist.
Moreover, there was a crowd around the stage!
If Bai Xiaoluo misunderstood his impartiality in judging the match, it wouldn't be something that could be explained away with a few words.
After listening to the account, Bai Xiaoluo frowned slightly.
After a brief thought, Bai Xiaoluo asked,
"That freshman, did he say his name was Gongsun Yu?"
Hearing Bai Xiaoluo's words, the senior's face changed, and he quickly said,
"Bai Xiaoluo, what are you planning?"
"I can assure you, this match was absolutely fair!"
"A senior intervening in a match between freshmen isn't appropriate!"
"Hmph, I, Bai Xiaoluo, would never stoop to attacking a freshman!"
Bai Xiaoluo snorted coldly.
Hearing Bai Xiaoluo's words, the senior calmed down.
Indeed, Bai Xiaoluo was a proud person; he wouldn't attack a freshman.
Moreover, even if Bai Xiaoluo did, the school wouldn't let him off.
A martial artist who bullies the weak would never be nurtured by Demon City Martial School!
Thinking of this, the senior said,
"That's right, he did claim to be Gongsun Yu!"
Receiving the senior's confirmation, Bai Xiaoluo nodded.
Then, he helped Chen Fan up and took him to the school infirmary.
After the school doctor confirmed that Chen Fan was fine, Bai Xiaoluo was completely relieved.
He then took Chen Fan back to the dormitory.
Looking at the sleeping Chen Fan, Bai Xiaoluo sighed helplessly.
He knew well that no one was to blame for this!
But he was Chen Fan's senior brother, and when their teacher Hefengjiao "ran away," she personally entrusted Chen Fan to him.
So Bai Xiaoluo had the responsibility and obligation to take care of Chen Fan.
Just like when Bai Xiaoluo first became Hefengjiao's student, his senior brothers and sisters took care of him.
Now that Chen Fan had been beaten into a "pig head," he had to make a statement!
Afterward, Bai Xiaoluo left Chen Fan's dormitory.
Downstairs, the group that came with Bai Xiaoluo asked,
"President, tell us, what should we do!"
"There's no need to find that freshman."
Bai Xiaoluo thought for a moment and then asked,
"By the way, do we have anyone with the surname Gongsun at our school?"
Someone nearby said,
"Yes, the advisor for Class 3 of the fourth year, Instructor Gongsun Long."
Bai Xiaoluo rolled his eyes at this person.
"I meant among the students!"
"Uh... got it!"
"Gongsun Xuan from Class 2 of the third year, isn't he a Gongsun?"
"I heard his younger brother is a freshman this year!"
