As the Warrior King laid out his analysis, Brother Qiang suddenly understood as well.
Xu Fan's physical abilities were indeed so strong that they defied belief.
"Just who is Xu Fan...?"
Brother Qiang couldn't help but feel puzzled.
Compared to Xu Fan, his own physical abilities were practically bronze-tier.
And then there was Xu Fan's mental fortitude.
Even contestants who had prepared ample supplies displayed varying degrees of panic after entering the mysterious Forbidden Land.
Xu Fan, on the other hand...
Looked as though nothing had happened.
"Could the authorities have concealed Xu Fan's true identity?" The Warrior King frowned, considering the possibility.
It was likely a measure meant to protect Xu Fan.
To prevent his information from being leaked.
That was highly possible!
Otherwise, how could they explain his almost inhuman physical abilities?
Regardless, after the Warrior King and Brother Qiang's analysis,
the public's pessimism was finally eased somewhat.
The number of viewers in the Live Stream Room exploded once again.
In less than ten minutes, the number of online viewers surpassed three hundred million!
"So, Xu Fan's physical condition truly is outstanding. Ten minutes have already passed since he entered the Forbidden Land, yet his pace hasn't slowed, and there are no signs of frostbite on his body."
Host Xiao Ying spoke again.
To become the host of this broadcast, she naturally had more going for her than just her valiant appearance—her professional skills were beyond question.
Whenever she had the chance, she spoke up for Xu Fan.
On one hand, it was to calm the audience's emotions.
On the other, Xu Fan's performance in the Forbidden Land was tied to whether Yan Kingdom could obtain valuable resources.
As a member of Yan Kingdom herself, Xiao Ying naturally did not want Xu Fan to be eliminated so quickly.
However, not all the Guests present felt the same way.
"What meaning is there in being physically fit? Without fresh water or food, how long can someone last in that kind of extreme environment? One day? Two days?"
"I think the Lighthouse Nation contestant looks far more promising. He used his limited time to prepare abundant supplies."
"What's more, he's from the special forces. Combined with the Lighthouse Nation's most advanced weapons, he can handle any sudden incident in the Forbidden Land."
Xiao Ying had thought the woman would rein herself in this time, but she still had that same disgusting attitude.
Host Xiao Ying's face turned livid as she fired back, "I have more faith in our Yan Kingdom contestant."
"Throughout history, our people's greatest virtue has been our unyielding spirit."
"The more extreme the environment and the scarcer the supplies, the more that proves it!"
Xiao Ying's words rang with force, and the corners of her lips curled up slightly. "The Lighthouse Nation should understand that deeply from its modern history."
The moment Xiao Ying finished speaking, the barrage of comments in the Live Stream Room surged instantly.
"Hahaha, as expected of my wife Xiao Ying! That comeback was beautiful!"
"The person above is dreaming. She's obviously my wife! And why did they invite that old hag anyway? Why doesn't she just die?"
"Damn it, no matter how bad Xu Fan is, he's still our Yan Kingdom contestant. Outsiders have no right to point fingers at him!"
"Bad? After Brother Qiang and the Warrior King's analysis, I think this guy's physical abilities are insanely strong. Do you people misunderstand what 'bad' means?"
Although viewers from other countries also came in to start fights, they were quickly drowned out by comments like these.
No one else got to talk shit about their own kid!
However...
Before everyone could finish venting their anger, a second figure appeared on the Live Stream Room screen.
Within the Outer Forbidden Zone.
After casually picking a direction, Xu Fan advanced without haste.
Had it been an ordinary person, they would likely have collapsed long ago.
Yet he continued across the deep snow as if walking on level ground, showing no discomfort whatsoever.
Then, a dark shadow suddenly entered his field of vision.
It looked especially conspicuous against the smooth snowfield.
Xu Fan's gaze sharpened as he swiftly locked onto the target.
A Snow Wolf, white from head to toe, was watching him from less than a hundred meters away!
"A wolf?"
Xu Fan furrowed his brow. Though he was unsure whether knowledge from Blue Star applied in the Outer Forbidden Zone,
he could only rely on experience to judge the situation for now.
"While lone wolves do exist, if I remember correctly, small animals hide away to hibernate during winter, so Snow Wolves can only hunt large animals such as deer..."
"And hunting large animals requires a pack working together, so Snow Wolves form packs during winter."
Xu Fan muttered to himself as he scanned the surroundings.
He did not want to unknowingly walk into a Snow Wolf encirclement.
Fortunately...
There was no second Snow Wolf within his line of sight.
"A Sentinel Wolf?"
Xu Fan quickly thought of another possibility.
He had entered the Snow Wolves' territory and happened to encounter a Sentinel Wolf responsible for patrolling.
Although a Sentinel Wolf's combat ability was nothing to scoff at, dealing with one would not be difficult for him.
And judging by its size, this Snow Wolf stood over two meters tall and likely weighed seventy or eighty kilograms.
If he killed it successfully, it could solve quite a few problems.
But...
"Once a Sentinel Wolf is attacked, the wolf pack lurking nearby will rush in to support it."
"And I don't want to expose my strength too early."
Xu Fan thought to himself, though his feet never stopped moving.
What Xu Fan did not know was that his Live Stream Room had completely exploded by then.
"Holy shit, is that a wolf? Why would there be wolves in an environment like this?!"
"Xu Fan, run! Please, stop walking forward!"
"So this is the Forbidden Land?! He ran into a ferocious beast after only ten minutes? Our Yan Kingdom contestant has had an unbelievably terrible start!"
"What do we do? What do we do? Even if Xu Fan is physically strong, he can't outrun a wolf in the snow, can he?"
"It's not just about whether he can outrun it! Snow Wolves are pack animals. This is bad!"
At the same time, an official comment suddenly appeared at the top of the Live Stream Room, standing out conspicuously.
[Yan Kingdom contestant Xu Fan has discovered a Forbidden Land creature!] [Name: Snow Wolf!] [Danger Level: E+-Rank. A carnivorous Forbidden Land creature with pack habits. It constantly searches for prey and can travel two hundred kilometers at a time!] [Rankings from lowest to highest: E, E+, D, D+, C, C+, B, B+, A, A+...]
"What the hell? A ferocious beast this terrifying is at the lowest danger level in the Forbidden Land?!"
"You've got to be kidding me!"
"Wait, is the danger level E for one Snow Wolf, or for an entire pack?"
The hundreds of millions of viewers in the Live Stream Room were completely dumbfounded!
