The name Lan Zhou immediately revealed that he belonged to the Lan family, and everyone's expressions varied.
"Lan Zhou, the leading figure of the younger generation of the Lan family, has extraordinary combat power, far surpassing his peers. It seems that it will be difficult for Leng Xiaofan to obtain the title of Hundred Battles King."
"Yes, that's why this matter has alarmed the city lord, and even Young Master Lan Xiang has come, and has specially sent a member of the Lan family."
"Hehe, I told you before that Yin Tiantian and Xiao Fan offended Commander Han. This matter won't be easily forgotten. You didn't believe me, but now you see."
"I think the city lord and Young Master Lan are in cahoots to send a warning to others."
"That's not quite right. This may seem a bit targeted, but everything is within the rules."
"That's right. Lan Zhou has already won ninety-seven games and is fully qualified to participate. Why can't someone from the Lan family take the field?"
"Although... but something just feels off."
"The Hundred Refinement Arena hasn't produced a Hundred Battle King in a long time, so why can't it be the Lan family if one is going to emerge?"
Han Qi glanced at Yin Tiantian, a playful smile on his face, his gaze icy. The latter rolled her eyes at him.
Han Wu also revealed a malicious smile, but mindful of his status, he did not act as blatantly as Han Qi.
Tang Yang remained seated, his expression unchanged, as if everything was none of his concern.
On the arena.
Upon hearing Lan Xiang's instructions, Lan Zhou respectfully replied, "Uncle Xiang, I understand. I will certainly not let you down."
Lan Xiang nodded. "Then I look forward to your performance. The Hundred Training Ground will definitely produce at least one Hundred Battle King today, and I hope it's you."
Lan Zhou replied firmly, "I will definitely be there for you."
He turned to look at Xiao Fan, his arrogance surging, and said haughtily, "King of a Hundred Battles? Heh, I hope you won't disappoint me too much."
Hearing these provocative words, Xiao Fan's initial excitement gradually subsided, but his fighting spirit only increased.
He was like a sword yet to be drawn, its sharpness concealed, but its power already evident.
Seeing the two men's imposing presence, Lan Xiang nodded in approval and said to the crowd, "The battle is about to begin, those who want to place bets should hurry up."
The Lan family's reputation is renowned in Frost Ripple City. Xiao Fan's hard-earned fame still couldn't compete with the Lan family's power.
In the end, the vast majority of people chose Lanzhou, and only a very small number of people were optimistic about Xiaofan.
Yin Tiantian noticed this situation and said with dissatisfaction, "These people really have no vision. They blindly bet on the Lan family. They'll be crying later."
Ao Ling comforted her, saying, "If they bet, we'll just bet more."
Qin Feng agreed, "That's right, we'll bet all the winnings we made before, and Xiao Fan's odds are even higher than that person's."
Seeing that everything was ready, the host announced loudly, "Begin!"
Lanzhou and Xiaofan moved at the same time.
Lan Zhou's sword flashed like lightning, shooting towards Xiao Fan like a sharp arrow.
Xiao Fan drew his sword like a precious blade, and the arena resounded with a roar as he thrust his long sword straight at his opponent.
For a moment, the sounds of swords clashing, blades whistling, and air-bursting explosions filled the air.
Lan Zhou's face was arrogant and haughty. He wanted to make a good impression on Lan Xiang. At the same time, this battle also represented the face of the Lan family, and he had to win.
Xiao Fan's fighting spirit soared, but his face remained expressionless. Once the battle began, he had no distractions and focused solely on the fight.
Although the arena was large, the two rushed towards each other, and in just a moment, the thunderous sound of swords clashing was heard.
The two separated immediately upon contact and retreated simultaneously, their initial exchange proving evenly matched.
At the same time, the two lunged at each other, their knives and swords clashing, and they began to fight again.
This went on for several rounds.
Even the most spectacular battles in the True Immortal Realm wouldn't catch the eye of the crowd.
However, this matter involved their own interests, as well as Han Wu, the city lord, and the Lan family, so they took it very seriously.
Even without Han Qi speaking, Han Wu kept his eyes glued to the screen.
City Lord Tang Yang seemed indifferent, but his eyes were always on the arena.
Even though Lan Xiang was very concerned about this battle, he was not here today for Yin Tiantian and Xiao Fan.
Even if these two win the title of Hundred Battles King, he won't care at all. What he wants is for the Lan family's disciples to become famous by stepping on these two.
This would make the Lan family members appear even more outstanding, while also giving face to Han Wu and Tang Yang.
He had initially ignored them, but when the two men approached him and explained their purpose, they said they could help the Lan family gain momentum, so why not?
Lan Xiang began to pay attention to Yin Tiantian and her group. Interestingly, he discovered that these people might be involved in the deaths of the three emperors of the Three Emperors Palace in Beixuan City.
He became even more concerned.
Few people know that the Three Emperors Palace is a force secretly cultivated by the Lan family, deliberately infiltrated into the Taixu Immortal Dynasty, and they have to pay tribute to the Lan family every year.
He died mysteriously. It seems he had a conflict with someone at the auction before he died, and that's the end of it.
Lan Xiang glanced at Qin Feng, then looked back at the arena, nodding occasionally. It was unclear whether he was satisfied with Lan Zhou or praising Xiao Fan.
Qin Feng noticed his gaze, but pretended to be nonchalant and watched the battle with peace of mind.
On the arena.
Xiao Fan wielded his sword with wide, sweeping strokes, his swordplay fierce and domineering, his style as always, each strike like a raging fire, each strike stronger than the last.
Lan Zhou is no slouch either; he's the strongest opponent of the same level that Xiao Fan has encountered so far.
Lan Zhou, full of fighting spirit, exchanged a few blows with Xiao Fan, only to find that he was at a disadvantage in a direct clash of strength.
He decisively changed tactics, using skillful force to neutralize the fierce attack and waiting for an opportunity to strike.
The two exchanged blows, no less than a hundred moves, fighting fiercely and evenly matched.
The audience was on the edge of their seats, cheering incessantly.
