With such low odds, even if you bet correctly, you hardly gain anything.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Bet on the opponent then,\" someone suggested, \"bet a little, with ten times the odds, if you bet correctly, you could make a big profit.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"That’s right, actually, I just bet on that newcomer earlier, ten points, and it turned into more than sixty points.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Haha, but that was last time, Wang the Pockmarked was a waste, Luo Kai is different. Even though he’s still a W-level Awakener, his combat power is already close to D-level, right?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Yes, he’s completed several D-level tasks with others, only missing proof of having completed a D-level task alone.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"True, with his superpower, completing the promotion task should be easy.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The crowd was discussing in small groups.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>On stage, Chen Fan was viewing his opponent’s information.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Luo Kai, E-level Awakener, joined the association two years ago, superpower is petrified skin.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Just these few lines, there were more details available but required paying an additional 100 points.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Chen Fan decided not to be tricked into making this expense,\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Petrified skin, as the name suggests, is similar to the C-level Awakener in Anshan City whose whole body can turn into metal.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He exited the screen, glancing at the points of both sides, 600 to 5000.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Chen Fan frowned, he wished there were fewer people betting on his win, that way, he could take a majority of the points.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>But others weren’t foolish either, they liked betting small to win big.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He looked at his remaining points, still 353 points left, and bet all of them on himself immediately.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Thus, on the screen, the points under Chen Fan’s name jumped from 600 to over 900, shocking many people.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Who’s that? Betting so heavily on an upset, aren’t they afraid of losing it all at once?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Quite gutsy, if the newcomer loses, they’ll be too devastated even to cry.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Isn’t this good? I see so many people betting on Luo Kai, the odds are shockingly low, someone betting on the newcomer pushes the odds up, right?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Right, the more people betting on the newcomer, the better.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>In the control room, the group in sunglasses couldn’t help but feel a sense of déjà vu seeing this scene.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Looking at the screen confirmed it.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Sure enough, it’s the newcomer betting on himself?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Going all in?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Very bold, this Luo Kai is not comparable to Wang the Pockmarked. With his current strength, fully petrified, he can withstand close-range rifle bullets.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"True. This newcomer is fast; what good is it if he can’t break the opponent’s defense?

His fist, initially the size of a sandbag, expanded to the size of a basin, hammering toward Chen Fan’s face.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"So fast!\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Someone from the audience exclaimed.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Luo Kai’s strength has grown again?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Great, let’s see how that newcomer can still be arrogant now!\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Many people bit their lips, resentful toward Chen Fan for causing them to lose points earlier.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Zhang Jun and Liao Yue were also among the crowd, clenching their fists, eyes wide open.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Don’t celebrate too early.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Someone said, \"Don’t forget, the newcomer is a speed-type Awakener. His speed during the last match against Wang the Pockmarked was so fast, dodging Luo Kai’s attack shouldn’t be too difficult.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>This statement resonated with many around.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>After all, speed-type Awakeners inherently excel in evasion.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Dodging attacks was easier compared to the average Awakeners.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Unexpectedly, as the distance closed in, Luo Kai’s rocky fist almost touching Chen Fan’s cheek within centimeters, the latter remained unmoving.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"What’s happening?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The audience burst out in astonishment, \"Is the newcomer paralyzed with fear? Why isn’t he moving?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"No way,\" someone beside widened their eyes, \"That guy was so arrogant before the match, now he’s paralyzed with fear?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>On stage, Luo Kai revealed a grin, as though already seeing Chen Fan being sent flying, crashing into the protective shield with his single punch!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Then, an unexpected twist occurred.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He thought Chen Fan was scared stiff, but Chen Fan suddenly swung his right arm back, then, with lightning speed, swung forward.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"What is he doing? Trying to go head-on with Luo Kai?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"He’s crazy!\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"This guy?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The crowd was stunned.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>What a joke is this?\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>A speed-type Awakener going head-to-head with a martial artist who can petrify skin?\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Luo Kai’s eyes showed contempt, mocking the newcomer’s overconfidence.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Bang!\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>A loud crash.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The fists made a solid collision.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"It’s over!\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Many people couldn’t help but have this thought, imagining Chen Fan’s figure being sent flying.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Crack!\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>A crisp noise.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Crack.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Crack.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Consecutive sounds echoed.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"What noise is that?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Someone looked around, puzzled.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Don’t look around, the sound is coming from the stage.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Crack!\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>With the final sound, Luo Kai’s entire right arm was covered in shattered rock, fragments falling to the ground.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Boom!\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>At that moment, everyone’s heads felt like they were hit by a gong, buzzing loudly.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Shattered?\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Luo Kai’s arm rock had been shattered?\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Someone realized and quickly looked at Chen Fan. The latter’s arm was still in a punching position, completely unharmed.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"This!\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>In the control room, even Yang Hu, who had been sitting comfortably, jumped to his feet, wide-eyed and shocked at the sight.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Fist-to-fist collision, the newcomer, had won?\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The area around the stage fell eerily silent.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"How, how could this be?\" Someone looked around, hoping for an explanation.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Speed,\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Someone said, \"Don’t forget, this newcomer is a speed-type Awakener. The power of a punch relates to strength, but also speed. Though the newcomer’s strength is lesser than Luo Kai, his speed compensates for the lack of strength, making his punch more powerful.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Is that really possible?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Speed can be used like this?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The crowd was enlightened yet felt something was off.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Impossible!
