The two people fighting on the stone platform at this moment naturally knew what Xiao Fan said.

That Fire Attribute, Cultivator, became more and more impatient. After all, he also knew that if he continued to delay, he would most likely become a loser.

Thinking of this, he became more aggressive, hoping to rely on his own level to defeat that Thunder Attribute Cultivator as soon as possible.

However, Thunder Attribute Cultivator had been cautious from the beginning and created a situation that was favorable to him now. When he realized that the other party had discovered his intentions, he became even more cautious.

Even if his opponent occasionally reveals some flaws and he is not sure of a counterattack, he still chooses to play it safe.

Soon, the Dou Qi in Fire Attribute Cultivator's body was about to run out. Thunder Attribute Cultivator, who had been suppressed and beaten, flashed in his eyes. Taking advantage of the moment when his opponent Dou Qi couldn't connect, he took action instantly.

Being beaten for a long time is not only to delay time and consume the opponent's Dou Qi, but also to facilitate him to observe the opponent's moves and analyze weaknesses.

Under his careful planning, his counterattack quickly bore fruit.

Although the Fire Attribute Cultivator expert was unwilling to give in, he had to admit defeat under the opponent's series of attacks.

As one side surrendered, Formation in the stands stopped the fight between the two and sent them out of the stone platform.

After leaving the competition market, Fire Attribute Cultivator looked at his opponent, vaguely unconvinced, but then he restrained himself, snorted coldly, and left.

Thunder Attribute Cultivator, with his head held high, accepted the applause from the surrounding stands.

Yue Yao looked at the two people on the field who were deciding the winner, and smiled at Xiao Fan, "You really guessed it right!"

"What do you mean by guessing? This is fine in my eyes!"

Xiao Fan raised his chin with a proud expression on his face, which made Yue Yao very funny.

"By the way, why didn't you see that guy Wu Hao?"

Xiao Fan glanced around Competition Stage, but still didn't find Wu Hao, and couldn't help but feel a little confused.

After all, according to Wu Hao's bellicose temperament, since he is among Arena, it is definitely impossible to stay quietly in the stands.

"I heard Hu Jia and the others talking before. Wu Hao seems to go up to fight basically every day. He hasn't gone up yet, maybe because he is still preparing."

Yue Yao on the side listened to Xiao Fan's words, and her beautiful eyes turned around Competition Stage several times, but did not find Wu Hao. Then she told Xiao Fan about the news she heard from Hu Jia and the others.

Xiao Fan nodded when he heard this, and then noticed a young man wearing gray clothes not far from him.

If Xiao Fan remembered correctly, when he and Yue Yao first came in, this man's eyes would fall on him from time to time.

At the beginning, Xiao Fan didn't care, after all, it was normal.

After all, in terms of appearance, she can crush everyone in the Inner Academy. Well, yes, Xiao Fan is extremely confident.

So it's quite normal to have a bit of a return rate.

In addition, because of the alchemy competition, Xiao Fan felt that although not everyone in the academy knew him, most of the students should have met him, so Xiao Fan initially regarded this person as someone who recognized his identity.

But after so long, his eyes still looked at him from time to time. Although Xiao Fan didn't mind, with Yue Yao by his side, this person's behavior was somewhat inappropriate.

Seemingly realizing that Xiao Fan had seen him, Gray-Clothed Youth cupped his hands towards Xiao Fan from a distance, then trotted all the way and walked up to Xiao Fan.

"You know me?"

Xiao Fan looked at the young man in front of him and asked curiously.

The young man doesn't look very big, he should be in his mid-twenties, but his strength is invisible under the gaze of Xiao Fan Golden Eyes.

Nine-Star Great Dou Master!

And judging from the somewhat frivolous aura, it seems that it is not far from breaking through Dou Ling.

Xiao Fan's interest in this person couldn't help but increase greatly.

"Haha, of course I've heard of junior fellow student Xiao Fan's style."

Gray-Clothed Youth smiled at Xiao Fan, then nodded to Yue Yao next to Xiao Fan, then looked away and looked at Xiao Fan again.

The process was extremely natural, and it neither made Yue Yao feel indifferent nor too rude. The scale was perfectly grasped, and a flash of surprise flashed in Xiao Fan's eyes.

"My dear He Feng, I have heard about Xiao Fan for a long time. Whether it is fighting Bai Cheng, or refining Fifth-grade Pill in public, it is a big event that will cause a sensation for the Inner Academy."

He Feng smiled and said to Xiao Fan, "This must be the first time for junior Xiao Fan to come to Arena, right?"

"How can I see it?"

Xiao Fan tilted his head and looked at He Feng. He didn't take his flattery to heart. But this Arena, unlike Heavenly Flame Qi Refining Tower, will be tested for the first time.

Moreover, the Dou Technique field is so big, Xiao Fan doesn't believe that He Feng can grasp the information of the students entering the Dou Technique field at all times.

"Hehe."

Hearing Xiao Fan's words, He Feng smiled faintly, and then said somewhat mysteriously, "Although I am not the strongest in the academy, when it comes to controlling information in the academy, even Lin Xiuya and the others are not as good as me."

"Oh?"

When Xiao Fan heard He Feng's words, his interest in him greatly increased.

Judging from He Feng's performance, he doesn't seem like the kind of person who likes to exaggerate, so what he said is most likely true.

Xiao Fan is actually curious, such a person Proficient Inner Academy news is not very famous.

"Then you don't know why senior He Feng is looking for me?"

"I'm sorry, if junior Xiao Fan doesn't mind, just call me He Feng."

He Feng smiled faintly, and then said to Xiao Fan, "It's just that I have heard about junior Xiao Fan for a long time, and I want to make friends."

"Okay, if that's the case, then I won't be shy anymore."

Xiao Fan looked at He Feng, a glimmer of light flashed in his eyes, and instead of calling the senior, the two of them directly called each other by their names.

"Since this is your first time coming to Arena, how about I introduce it to you?"

He Feng saw that Xiao Fan did not refuse, pointed at the Competition Stage below, and said to Xiao Fan and the others, "The ten Competition Stage below are where the students usually fight. It seems there is no difference, but if you feel carefully, there are still subtle differences."

Having said this, He Feng did not speak and looked at Xiao Fan curiously.

Xiao Fan raised his eyebrows, released his Soul Power, and immediately discovered the mystery.

"That stone platform in the center?"

"That's right." He Feng was a little surprised to see Xiao Fan discovered it so quickly. He pointed at the stone platform in the middle and said, "Although there are not many students in Arena who have fights on weekdays, the stone platform in the center has been retained by everyone with a tacit understanding."

"What's the reason for this?"

Xiao Fan looked at the stone platform in the center that looked a bit darker in color, with a trace of curiosity flashing in his eyes.

Yue Yao, who was sitting next to Xiao Fan, also had a look of doubt on his face. After all, except for the people who have been hanging out with Arena all year round, other people may not necessarily know so clearly about these situations. It can be seen that even if He Feng's words are a bit exaggerated, his information is well-informed.

"That's right." He Feng smiled faintly, and then said, "Speaking of which, this is also related to the Inner Academy's Strong Ranking."

"Strong Ranking?"

Xiao Fan was a little confused, then suddenly realized. "Is this Competition Stage specially reserved for Strong Ranking to challenge?"

He Feng nodded and said with a smile, "Just like Xiao Fan your last battle with Bai Cheng, if we follow the general rules of the Inner Academy, battles involving famous students on Strong Ranking will basically be conducted in the form of a fight among Arena."

"On the one hand, they want to accumulate popularity, and on the other hand, they want to prove their own strength. After all, the challenger wants to show his fangs, and the challenged one also wants to scare the monkeys."

Xiao Fan heard this and nodded in agreement. After all, most of the students on Strong Ranking are basically immersed in hard work. If someone challenges them every three days, will they still practice?

So this Arena can be regarded as helping them to screen out a group of weak people.

"Not only because of this, but on the other hand, if it involves a challenge from a Strong Ranking master, in addition to the loser's Fire Energy being deprived of it, 10% of the Arena gambling money will eventually fall into the winner's pocket."

He Feng looked at Xiao Fan and revealed more information.

Among Arena, 10% of the gambling money involved in Strong Ranking's challenge would fall into the winner's pocket. This was something that even Xiao Fan did not expect.

In this way, it is no wonder that the challenges faced by Strong Ranking masters are all Arena by default.

Once the battle is successful, not only can you gain more popularity and fame, but you can also get a huge amount of Fire Energy. No wonder no one has cared about the existence of gambling in this Arena.

Xiao Fan looked at He Feng in front of him, a little surprised by his identity.

Being able to know so much information about Arena, and also knowing about the gambling battle involving the interests of master Strong Ranking, Xiao Fan does not believe that this is a status that ordinary people can have.

Then Xiao Fan remembered the current Pan Gate. Pan Gate now basically monopolizes the Pills market. Aren't some of the benefits also going to be handed over to the college?

Xiao Fan guessed that there should be forces similar to Pan Gate behind Arena.

"In addition, in Arena, most of the betting battles for each day are agreed in advance, so every day in Arena, there will be a list of contestants for that day, which can be regarded as building momentum for them in advance."

He Feng said as he took out a black Token that looked like Hand Order and handed it to Xiao Fan.

Xiao Fan took the Token handed over by He Feng. It felt cold in its tentacles, but the material of Token didn't look simple. It didn't take He Feng to tell Xiao Fan to understand the purpose of this Token.

A stream of Dou Qi was injected into Token, and pairs of names appeared on it. Looking carefully, it seems that there are still about ten competitions that have not been carried out today.

Xiao Fan searched among them but did not find Wu Hao's name. It seems that he did not participate in the competition today.

He wanted to return Token to He Feng, but He Feng refused, saying that he wanted to give Xiao Fan something to make friends with. Xiao Fan accepted it happily, and then took out a bottle of Pills and handed it to He Feng.

"This is a kind of Pills similar to Ice Purity Pill. It not only has the effect of suppressing Fire Poison, but also can make people stay happy and detoxify."

He Feng did not refuse, took Jade Bottle from Xiao Fan's hand, and found a reason to leave.

Xiao Fan looked at He Feng's leaving back, shook his head, put Token in his hand into Storage Ring, and then talked and laughed with Yue Yao while watching the competition on the field.

When outsiders are around, Yue Yao always behaves very quietly and will not interrupt Xiao Fan's conversations. Only when they are alone will they show their playfulness like a little girl.

Although the original intention was to see Wu Hao's Arena career, now that they have come, Xiao Fan and Yue Yao still felt the atmosphere of Arena before leaving.
