As Chen Fan entered, the venue instantly erupted with excitement. Everyone enthusiastically shouted his name. After a morning of matches, many people had come to know Chen Fan. He had never lost, and his strength was overwhelming.
Those who did not know him were extremely curious as well. They had watched matches in other arenas that morning and had personally witnessed the power of espers. Hearing that there would be a one-against-ten-thousand match was simply unbelievable. Who could possibly possess such strength? After asking around, they learned that he was Academy City's No. 1 esper—the strongest esper in Academy City.
Chen Fan's identity had been uncovered by everyone. Once they saw it, they became excited. This match was going to be incredible.
The enormous arena could easily hold a hundred thousand people, so even ten thousand people standing on one half of it left plenty of empty space.
The other vast half of the arena held only Chen Fan. Yet Chen Fan alone seemed to suppress the aura of the ten thousand people opposite him. Those ten thousand were elites selected from various schools. They were all exceptionally strong, and even the weakest among them were powerful Level 3 espers.
There were also many large screens around the venue, tracking the entire match so everyone could clearly see the battle inside the arena.
The expressions on the faces of the espers opposite him varied. Some were afraid and huddled toward the back, but more of them were unconvinced. It was a rare opportunity to face Academy City's strongest. Though it was not one-on-one but one against ten thousand, that gave them a great chance to defeat Chen Fan.
[The rules of the match will now be announced. This will be a tug-of-war match. Victory goes to whoever pulls the other
