Chapter 547

Following the referee's order on the arena, Lu Feifan immediately raised his fists and sped toward Xu Tian.

Xu Tian stood in place with an indifferent expression, not moving at all.

The people off stage saw him like this and burst into sneers one after another.

"Hahahaha!"

"Why isn't he moving? Is he scared out of his wits by Young Master Lu's skills?"

"He's just an ordinary person, he definitely can't react in time. Let's see if Young Master Lu will show mercy."

Just as everyone was waiting to see Xu Tian make a fool of himself and pointing fingers at him, Xu Tian suddenly raised his hand and made a "pause" gesture to the referee next to him, then said lightly: "I want to forfeit."

What?

Lu Feifan's fist was about to land, and upon hearing Xu Tian's words, he couldn't advance or retreat, and could only stabilize his figure abruptly.

The referee was also confused; he had never seen anyone who asked to forfeit while standing on the arena before even exchanging blows.

As a martial artist, if you don't even have this bit of mettle, how can you mix in the circle?

Gu Beicheng off stage saw Xu Tian directly ask to forfeit, and his expression became somewhat subtle.

Is this kid not afraid of losing face at all?

"Alright, look at the Tang family team leader's frail appearance. Young Master Lu could cripple him with one punch. Let's just let him go."

"That's true, the arena tournament is originally for sparring and exchange. Mr. Xu is just a team leader after all, not a contestant. If he doesn't want to compete, then forget it."

"The Tang family is mainly in business, so it's normal for this team leader not to know martial arts. Everyone has their own specialty."

Among the crowd, there were also some people who stood on Xu Tian's side. After all, people who value martial arts have some sense of justice in their hearts. They can fight to the death for honor, but naturally, they don't want to do the dirty work of bullying a layman.

Xu Tian was clearly a layman who didn't understand martial arts, and might not even know basic fighting techniques. Forcing him to go on the arena to compete with the Lu family's successor was indeed a bit too much.

Facing the mixed calls from off stage, Xu Tian's expression remained unchanged.

"Referee, I have already complied with your rules and gone on stage. Now I request to forfeit. Your rules shouldn't have a clause forbidding forfeiture, right?"

Xu Tian had promised Tang Bingyan not to make a move long before coming to participate in the arena tournament. If he really encountered an expert, it wouldn't be a bad idea to spar and broaden his horizons.

But facing a martial artist of Lu Feifan's level, he really couldn't raise any interest. He didn't want to kill Lu Feifan in one move, have no combat experience, and then have to apologize to Tang Bingyan after returning.

You have to know, when it comes to his own safety, Tang Bingyan is not that easy to coax.

Whether it was Lu Feifan or Gu Beicheng, these two people's levels were not on the same level as his. If he made a move, it would seem like bullying.

Moreover, these two people had nothing to do with him and kept trying to set traps for him, so Xu Tian had even less intention of guiding them on the arena.

The referee was stunned for a long time before coming back to his senses and announced expressionlessly: "The Tang family team leader forfeits. Today's arena tournament comes to an end. First place is the Lu family, the Gu family is second, and the Tang family is last. If anyone has any objections to this result, they can immediately go on stage for an extra match!"

The extra match the referee mentioned was the final stage of the arena tournament. If anyone was dissatisfied with the result of the match, they could go on the arena to challenge the family that won first place one-on-one.

Of course, in a typical arena tournament, everyone is convinced by the end, and very few people initiate the final extra match stage.

Sure enough, after the referee announced the result, there was silence off stage. No one objected, and no one went on stage.

The Tang family secret guards were dejected and didn't even dare to look at the contestants from other families.

They had truly lost all face by coming here today and wouldn't be able to hold their heads up in this circle in the future. If they had known this would be the result, they would have been better off not being selected.

Iverson, sitting in the VIP seat, turned his head and whispered a few words to Lu Tian Feng. Lu Tian Feng looked grateful and thanked him repeatedly.

Soon, Iverson got up and walked toward the arena.

Lu Tian Feng also smiled and said to the other guests: "Mr. Iverson wants to see Huaxia's martial arts, so he decided to go on stage and trade a few moves with my son."

As soon as Lu Tian Feng's words fell, thunderous applause erupted at the scene.

Lu Feifan looked at Iverson walking toward him, his breathing becoming a bit hurried with excitement.

Being able to compete on the same stage with a world fighting master could improve his reputation at the fastest speed, and he could also receive pointers from the master.

After both sides stood steady, Iverson took the lead and raised his hand toward Lu Feifan.

"Make your move, no need to have any reservations."

"Senior, excuse me!"

As soon as Lu Feifan's words fell, he gathered all his energy and attacked Iverson in front of him.

He took this duel very seriously, and as soon as he made a move, it was a set of combo palm techniques.

Looking at Iverson again, he just stood in place and raised his right hand slightly, blocking Lu Feifan's attack with one hand.

Lu Feifan was greatly shocked. He knew Iverson was very strong, but he hadn't expected it to completely exceed his imagination.

Iverson blocked Lu Feifan's attack and said in a flat tone: "Although the palm technique is coherent, the aggressiveness is not strong, and it still needs improvement."

A flash of embarrassment crossed Lu Feifan's eyes, and he continued to attack Iverson, but no matter how hard he tried, he could never get close to Iverson.

And from beginning to end, Iverson just stood in place, not even moving his steps, neutralizing Lu Feifan's attacks perfectly every time.

After dozens of rounds passed, Iverson lost patience and directly raised his hand to punch Lu Feifan in the lower abdomen, knocking him to the ground.

Lu Feifan gritted his teeth to endure the intense pain in his abdomen, immediately climbed up from the ground, and said to the man in front of him with conviction.

"My skills are inferior to others, I am willing to admit defeat."

Now he finally knew how big the gap was between himself and this world-class fighting master.

Just now, although Iverson was only standing in place blocking his moves and seemingly didn't make a move, in reality, only Lu Feifan, who had truly exchanged blows with him, could feel that powerful deterrent force.

"You still have a lot of room for improvement." Iverson said.

"Thank you, Master, for your guidance." Lu Feifan was extremely grateful.

And Xu Tian, staring at Iverson who was fighting Lu Feifan, had a somewhat disappointed expression. It seemed that this fighting master didn't seem to be as powerful as he had imagined.

Among the martial artists present today, it seemed that there wasn't even one person who could arouse his interest.

Xu Tian didn't feel that he had made rapid progress during this time, but dealing with these people on stage was still more than enough. Could it be that seeing big scenes had raised his expectations?

After all, since his rebirth, he had seen many experts, first those mysterious people who almost killed him, then the elegant woman in a cheongsam, and then Yun Shuying, the Star Chart Woman, and the others. Everyone's strength was terrifyingly strong.

Just then, a commotion suddenly came from the entrance of the martial arts hall.

"Sir, you cannot enter without an invitation..."

With a "bang," the Lu family disciple guarding the door was actually kicked away.
