"As long as I don't run into that freak, I can definitely achieve the small goal of ten consecutive victories!"
With that, he left the arena.
There's still thirty minutes until the next match, time to recuperate properly.
Soto City Grand Soul Arena has a rather humane feature.
That is, players can choose their own time to participate in battles.
There are continuous matches, five-minute intervals, fifteen-minute intervals, thirty-minute intervals, sixty-minute intervals, and one-hundred-twenty-minute intervals.
The so-called continuous matches mean you can go straight to another platform for battle right after coming down from one.
This is called no interval.
A five-minute interval match means you rest for five minutes after coming down from one platform before going up to another for battle.
Fifteen-minute intervals are the same, come down from the platform, wait for fifteen minutes, and then go up again!
Thirty-minute intervals mean resting for thirty minutes before going up again.
However, generally, no one chooses continuous or under thirty-minute intervals.
Most would opt for a one-hour or two-hour interval, and some even take a three-hour break.
Ye Feng finished his match.
He returned to his exclusive VIP rest room and sat down directly on the soft genuine leather sofa.
Ye Feng wasn't a miser; he had just recently scammed over 900,000 gold coins from Young Master Dai.
Shouldn't he enjoy it a bit?
Moreover, with seven accounts to manage tonight, it wouldn't be convenient to operate in a public rest room.
"Bloodthirsty Demon, please get ready, you are about to participate in a battle on platform 11."
Just at that moment, a sweet broadcast voice rang out.
"Oh? So soon?"
Ye Feng had chosen matches every five minutes.
Seven accounts.
To avoid clashes, he always chose to sign up for the next match after finishing one.
He didn't expect the announcement to start broadcasting just two minutes later.
All you could see was Ye Feng changing into a new set of clothes.
And he put on a red mask!
Five-minute matches, twelve an hour; fight until eleven o'clock, that makes five hours, for a total of sixty matches.
Seven accounts, averaging less than nine matches each.
Still feels a bit too few.
Next time, I should try a few continuous matches.
He was thinking, he should at least get in seventy matches in one night.
After a short pause, Ye Feng wearing the red mask entered the ring.
As Bloodthirsty Demon appeared, an unprecedented cheer erupted throughout the Soul Arena!
Upstairs.
"Xiaosan, tell me, what exactly is going on here!"
Just as Tang San entered the VIP viewing room, Yu Xiaogang stood up with a face as dark as iron!
He had thought his student would win for sure, but unexpectedly, his student had capsized in the gutter and lost the match!!
Unforgivable!
"Brock, Xiaosan was just careless. Win the next match and it will be fine; there's no need for you to blame him too much,"
Seeing his old colleague slamming the table and rising, Flander intervened with an embarrassed look.
After all, to err is human; the expectations for Xiaosan were simply too high.
"Yeah, Master, maybe the third brother hasn't encountered such a weird opponent before,"
Ma Hongjun also chimed in.
At this moment in the viewing room, Ma Hongjun, Zhu Zhuqing, Dai Mubai, and others had returned.
Since their opponents were relatively easy, they had all successfully earned their first point.
"Of course, I know he can win the next match, but we as teachers must point out the problems, and they mustn't be repeated again! Especially the kind of carelessness from just now!"
The Master's tone was stern.
He had just made a pledge in front of Flander, Tang San was sure to win!
And what happened?
Tang San lost outright!
And it was a crushing defeat.
What's most crucial is that he had predicted defeats for Dai Mubai, Ma Hongjun, Zhu Zhuqing, but these three each secured their first point!!
This was no longer just a slap in the face of Yu Xiaogang!!
It was a relentless slapping on his face!
Painful!!
"Teacher, I was indeed a bit careless just now," Tang San admitted with a face full of contrition.
Lost and lost.
There's nothing much to explain, after all, this is reality.
"Knowing you lost because of carelessness is good. How many times have I told you that there are always people better than you, that even if you're exceptional, you should beware of capsizing in a gutter. Many strong people eventually fall because of arrogance and carelessness. Do you understand?"
As for his own student, Yu Xiaogang was very clear.
He thought Tang San's loss was likely due to carelessness.
Thus, he had to correct him, to make him take things seriously!
"Mhm! But, Teacher, actually, I lost on purpose just now. If it really came down to a fierce fight, I'm ninety-nine percent confident I could have made a comeback," Tang San said.
After contemplating for a moment, he felt he still needed to explain himself.
Not for any other reason.
But to comfort his teacher.
"Lost on purpose??"
Everyone in the private room was stunned.
Was there even such a thing as losing on purpose??
If it were anyone else making this claim, they'd think the person was just trying to save face.
But this was Tang San.
The man who once gave Teacher Zhao Wuji a headache.
"What do you mean?" Yu Xiaogang asked, his face full of confusion as he looked at Tang San.
It was his first time hearing something like this.
"Think about it, Bloodthirsty Demon No. 3 is about as strong as me, maybe just a bit weaker. Perhaps he'll only fight one or two bouts tonight, going all out is fine for him. But I have to complete at least ten fights or more. There's no need for me to waste so much energy on him, right? So I lost on purpose," Tang San said to everyone.
Once the crowd heard this, it was as if a light bulb went off.
So that was it.
"I see, this isn't a bad strategy," Yu Xiaogang nodded in approval.
This kid sometimes really did think of some surprising ideas.
Win this fight but be unable to battle in the next few? It's better to cut losses decisively, forfeit this match, and then go for consecutive victories afterward.
"Please, contestants on the number 11 stage, make your entrance. From exit one, the Soft Bone Charm Rabbit, and from exit two, the Bloodthirsty Demon!" the broadcast announced.
"Bloodthirsty Demon? How, how is this possible??" Yu Xiaogang's pupils shrank instantly upon hearing the broadcast!
It was as if he had heard some unbelievable news!
"What's wrong, Teacher??" Tang San asked, full of confusion as he saw his teacher's face turn gloomy.
Just what kind of organization was this Bloodthirsty Demon?
To be honest, the Bloodthirsty Demon No. 3 he had just faced was one of the strongest opponents he had encountered in a while.
"Xiaowu, this time we might have trouble. This Bloodthirsty Demon is no joke," Yu Xiaogang exhaled deeply.
His entire demeanor was one of deep worry.
Down in the 11th arena.
Even from the sidelines, you could hear the frenzied cheers of the crowd.
"Bloodthirsty Demon!"
"Bloodthirsty Demon!!"
They shouted excitedly, one after the other!
Especially those who had placed bets, they were even happier than on their wedding day!
This patron saint of gamblers, the unbeaten legend of the Soul Fighting Arena, had appeared once again tonight!!!
A night of madness!
Bettors were surely in for a treat!
The Soul Fighting Arena was deafening!
