Zhou Fan's record had left every third-tier contestant afraid to face him one-on-one.
But if it wasn't a one-on-one fight, that changed everything!
Up to five people could take on Zhou Fan together.
If they won, they would earn not only the arena's prize money, but fame as well!
Zhou Fan was immensely popular now, and his achievements were something many could only dream of matching.
But if they defeated him, all that popularity would shift from Zhou Fan to them.
And so, tempted by both rewards, a five-man team quickly came together and stepped into the ring.
All five were third-tier Espers: one at Third Tier, Five Stars, one at Third Tier, Four Stars, and three at Third Tier, Three Stars.

Zhou Fan glanced at them and nodded in satisfaction.

"Earth Dragon Technique!"
The two dragons struck from both sides!
"You're pretty good
