Three days later.
Bei San Sea, Outré Prefecture, Deep Shark City.
During these three days, Lu An still did not act rashly, and the intelligence personnel had been collecting information. Before getting any definite information, Liu Yi would never allow him to make a move. In other words, the only thing Lu An could do now was to wait.
Today was the day he had agreed with the manager of Deep Shark City's Duel Arena. Today, he would fight one of the three former and current Top Rankers. In fact, Lu An was very calm. After experiencing so many things, he did not take this duel too seriously. However, he would never let his guard down. He just needed to perform as usual. However, when he arrived at Deep Shark City, he found that the 'people' here were really excited.
Yes, the 'people' here were really excited. After seven days of vigorous promotion by the Duel Arena, the news had already spread throughout the entire Outré Prefecture and even outside of Outré Prefecture. After all, it was really rare to see a Top Ranker fight. It might not even happen once in ten years, let alone a former helper. The 'people' from the other five cities in Outré Prefecture had also rushed over to watch this rare scene.
The ticket prices in the Duel Arena were ridiculously high, and the bets placed by both sides were also very shocking. However, from the betting, it was obvious that more people bet on the Top Ranker. Very few people bet on Lu An, and the disparity was very shocking. The odds were a shocking six times.
It could not be helped. Lu An was too confident in what he said to the manager. As a result, the manager had been promoting and guiding public opinion these few days, saying how powerful the former Top Ranker was and that Lu An had no chance at all. That was why the current result happened. After this result, the manager panicked a little. With such a huge bet, if Lu An really lost, the Duel Arena would definitely lose a lot of money.
If Lu An really lost, he would definitely forcibly detain this human. If he could not pay up, he would make this human suffer a fate worse than death!
At this moment, two very beautiful 'people' were walking on the street toward the Duel Arena. They attracted the attention of countless' people 'around them. Although these two women were very beautiful, they did not have any human aura on them. Yes, these two women were not human at all. Lu An had seen them before.
Si Mian and Si Yan of the Flowing Moon Clan.
Si Mian was the second-in-command of the Flowing Moon Clan, second only to Clan Leader Si Xing. Si Yan was Si Xing's daughter. This duel had been publicized so widely that Dripping Moon City naturally knew about it. Si Xing couldn't come, but Si Mian and Si Yan could. Even though everyone was in the Life and Death Alliance, the two of them had not seen Lu An for a long time, and they wanted to see how Lu An fought.
Other than the upper echelons of the Flowing Moon Clan, no one had ever seen Si Mian and Si Yan in their transformations, so no one knew who they were. The two of them walked into the arena, bought tickets, and then went to the betting area. Si Mian could not help but smile when he saw the disparity between the two of them.
"It seems like our Alliance Master is not welcomed," Si Mian said with a smile.
"Then what should we do?" Si Yan nodded and asked, "Should we place a bet as well?"
"Of course, this is a good opportunity to earn money," Si Mian said.
Then, the two of them went to the staff. With the two of them, they had raised Lu An's bet to almost half of the first place!
Such a shocking bet made the staff look at the two women in front of him in shock. It was impossible for them not to accept such a huge bet, so they quickly put it away.
When the supervisor heard that someone had bet so much money on Lu An, he frowned and his panicked heart calmed down. After some hesitation, he gritted his teeth and asked the arena to make up the other half of the bet as well!
Bet!
He was also betting!
Seeing the sudden increase in the odds, all the gamblers were stunned, and it immediately attracted more people to place their bets. At this moment, the square outside the arena quieted down.
Everyone turned to look in the same direction, and under everyone's gaze, the person walking over was Lu An.
Because of the Hidden Immortal Ring, Lu An did not emit any aura, making him look especially mysterious. Under everyone's gaze, he walked towards the arena step by step very quietly, as if the people in the square did not exist. There was no awkwardness or nervousness.
Lu An entered the arena, and those who had bought tickets immediately followed him into the arena. Those who did not have tickets could only stare in the square and wait for the news to spread.
After entering the arena, the staff here naturally remembered Lu An's appearance, and the contestants were allowed to pass directly. When Lu An arrived at the betting area, he happened to see Si Mian and Si Yan, who had not left yet.
Lu An was stunned, and so were the two women.
Just as Lu An was hesitating whether it was good to greet the two women here, Si Yan had already spoken. She waved happily at Lu An and said, "Lu An!"
"…"
Lu An had a headache. He had no choice but to acknowledge them now.
Si Mian and Si Yan walked towards Lu An. Si Mian smiled and said, "Long time no see."
"Senior." Lu An was very polite as he cupped his hands.
"Don't call me Senior. I don't really like it." Si Mian said, "You can either call me by my name or call me Sister Mian."
Lu An was stunned. He thought about it and said, "Alright. Sister Mian, why are you here?"
"To see you, of course," Si Mian said. "Recently, we have nothing to do. The Flowing Moon Clan's matter is not something that can be resolved in a short period of time, so we came to see if your strength has improved. Fortunately, we didn't misjudge you. Your strength has improved very quickly. "
Lu An nodded. It had indeed been a long time since he had last visited the Life and Death Union. Prince Qi was basically the one who helped him manage it. Regardless of whether it was the Ice and Fire Union or the Life and Death Union, he was an incompetent shopkeeper.
It was not good to talk too much here, as it might expose their relationship. Si Mian naturally knew this, so they quickly separated. Lu An walked towards the waiting room. After passing through the long corridor, he quickly arrived.
When he opened the door, many contestants had already gathered inside. They all immediately looked at Lu An.
They were all Rank Seven Mystical Beasts. They knew very well that everyone's eyes were on this human and the champion. If they fought, they would only be hated.
Facing such a mysterious and low-key human, although they wanted to talk to him, they did not dare. This human was indeed very strong, but in their opinion, it was impossible for him to win.
Under the arrangement of the supervisor, Lu An's three champions were arranged in order: the previous champion, the previous champion, the previous champion, and the current champion. Lu An's opponent today was the previous champion. His name was Suo Dun, and he came from an extremely rare Mystical Beast Clan called the Dun Hou Clan.
The Dun Hou Clan was indeed very rare. There were probably less than a thousand of them in the Nine Seas. Moreover, they were not a powerful clan. This Suo Dun was completely an exception. Perhaps he was a cultivation genius that only appeared once in ten thousand years. No one knew how he cultivated to such a high level. Ever since he was defeated twenty years ago and left the top position, he had never appeared again. Many people said that he had gone to attack the Rank Nine Mystical Beast Realm, but from his participation in this battle, it was obvious that he had not become a Rank Nine Mystical Beast yet.
But even so, everyone had witnessed Suo Dun's strength back then. It was definitely not something that could be forgotten by time.
The battles in the arena continued as usual. Lu An's battle was scheduled for the afternoon, which was also the most important time. Lu An arrived at noon, so there was not much time left before the start of the battle.
The contestants in the waiting room entered the arena one by one. Regardless of victory or defeat, those who left returned to the waiting room and did not leave. This was the privilege of the contestants. It was much better to watch the battle here than outside.
The time was getting closer and closer. Suddenly, Lu An, who had been meditating with his eyes closed, moved slightly, but did not open them.
Following that, the others in the waiting room soon heard heavy footsteps coming from outside the corridor. The sound was getting closer and closer, step by step, coming here.
The sound of every step was very heavy, as if stepping heavily on everyone's heart, making them tremble with fear.
Finally …
Bang!
The door was pushed open, and a tall and majestic man appeared at the doorway. Just by looking at his height, he was half a head taller than Lu An.
At this moment, Lu An finally opened his eyes and looked at the door like everyone else.
So strong.
Just by looking at the body, it was likely that this man's weight was more than half of Lu An's. But what made Lu An more concerned was this man's arms.
This man was wearing clothes that reached his shoulders. His arms were exposed, and there were many strange patterns on his arms, faintly exuding a heart-palpitating aura.
