Chapter 505, Lu Fan Finally Makes His Move!

Translator: Silavin

 

However, some supporters of Meng Jia, or rather those who had bet that Meng Jia would win, began to make sarcastic remarks.

 

“Everyone says Lu Fan is strong, but I’m not convinced. He doesn’t even dare to face Meng Jia head-on and only knows how to hide behind others. He waited until Jian Ying had consumed a large amount of Meng Jia’s Stamina before taking advantage of the situation. Honestly, I think even if Lu Fan wins, it’s nothing to be proud of.”

 

“You’re right. On the surface, it seems like Lu Fan thinks Meng Jia isn’t worthy of making him take action, but who actually knows if that is his strategy. Waiting until Meng Jia’s Stamina is depleted, he can step in to win the match and protect his title as Hero of Dragon Country?”

 

“If Lu Fan wins like this, it’s hardly an honourable victory, is it? If Meng Jia’s Stamina were still at its peak, he might not necessarily lose to Lu Fan! In my opinion, this match is too unfair!”

 

For a moment, these opinions spread through the crowd, and many who had bet on Meng Jia and were about to lose money started booing.

 

But soon after, people began to counter these arguments.

 

“Shut up! How dare you judge the match when you know nothing about it!?”

 

“Exactly! Those saying Lu Fan wants to wear down Meng Jia’s Stamina should do their homework! You idiots need to learn about the Profession Characteristics of the Bloodcrazed Werewolf before criticising him!”

 

“Bloodcrazed Werewolfs have nearly unlimited Stamina! The more they fight and get injured, the more their Attributes increase! It’s a Profession that gets stronger as the battle progresses!”

 

“Those fools. Can’t they see that Meng Jia hasn’t shown any signs of tiring from the beginning till now? Instead, he has only gotten stronger.”

 

“Yeah. If Lu Fan really wanted to protect his reputation as a Hero of Dragon Country and ensure victory against Meng Jia, why wouldn’t he and Jian Ying attack together? Why wait until Jian Ying helps Meng Jia get stronger before deciding to act?”

 

“What? Meng Jia’s Profession Characteristics make him stronger the more he fights, and he has unlimited Stamina? That’s too overpowered! No wonder Jian Ying could suppress Meng Jia at first but can’t do so now. If one can’t defeat Meng Jia with one swift and decisive action, wouldn’t the chances of winning become increasingly slim?”

 

“If Lu Fan really wanted to be clever and guarantee his victory, he wouldn’t have gone up without understanding the Profession Characteristics of a Bloodcrazed Werewolf. In my opinion, Lu Fan truly believes Meng Jia is not worthy of his attention. But now that Jian Ying shows she can’t handle Meng Jia, he has no choice but to deal with him in person.”

 

“Well, whether Lu Fan is being clever by avoiding a direct confrontation with Meng Jia or whether he thinks Meng Jia isn’t worthy of making him take action, we’ll know soon enough.”

 

“If Lu Fan crushes Meng Jia with absolute strength, then it’s the latter. If Lu Fan struggles to win or is defeated by Meng Jia, then it’s the former.”

 

“Hey, let’s just watch the match. I’m just looking forward to the battle between Lu Fan and Meng Jia. I hope their battle will be even more spectacular than the one between Jian Ying and Meng Jia!”

 

Everyone waited eagerly to see how Lu Fan would perform against Meng Jia.

 

By now, Jian Ying was retreating step by step. Due to excessive Stamina consumption, she could not even activate the Skills of her swords.

 

However, her performance had been impressive, and Lu Fan could tell that Jian Ying must still be holding back.

 

After all, from beginning to end, Jian Ying had not unleashed her Five Swords Fusion Skill.

 

This Skill, once released, had an overwhelmingly terrifying power that even Meng Jia might not be able to withstand.

 

But this was just a friendly match, not a battlefield for life-and-death. Jian Ying had no reason to use such a powerful Skill against a fellow student.

 

Using only Minor Skills against Meng Jia naturally allowed his Profession Characteristics to shine, making him stronger and putting Jian Ying at a disadvantage.

 

Now, with Jian Ying’s Stamina nearly exhausted, it was time for Lu Fan to step in himself.

 

“Jing Ying, that’s enough. Come back,” Lu Fan loudly said.

 

Hearing this, Jian Ying did not resist and retreated behind Lu Fan, withdrawing all five of her swords.

 

Jian Ying was panting. She felt shameful as she softly said. “Sorry, I was no match for him.”

 

Lu Fan smiled and said, “There’s nothing to be sorry about. In a real life-or-death battle, you might not necessarily lose to him. Just sit down and rest. I’ll finish this battle for you.”

 

“En.” Jian Ying nodded, then added after a pause, “I feel there are still many inadequacies in how I fight. Compared to Meng Jia, I still have a significant gap that I’m lacking in. Otherwise, with our similar Levels and equipment, I shouldn’t have lost to him. When we get back, could you spar with me? I want to properly improve.”

 

“No problem,” Lu Fan agreed with a smile.

 

Hearing Lu Fan’s response, Jian Ying’s face broke into a smile.

 

At this moment, the two seemed oblivious to everyone else, appearing somewhat flirtatious, which greatly displeased Meng Jia in the distance.

 

He had pressured Jian Ying and forced her to retreat, so naturally, Lu Fan would be his next opponent.

 

“Dragon Tamer, you’re next!” The Werewolf that Meng Jia had transformed into howled but still spoke in a Human voice. “What kind of man hides behind a woman? I’m going to tear you apart alive! Let’s see who can stop me!”

 

Lu Fan glanced at Meng Jia and said with a shake of his head, “Brother, your Profession has a flaw. It seems that after gaining power that does not belong to you through your Profession Characteristics, you struggle to control the impact of this great power on your consciousness. If you continue to increase your strength, you’ll turn into a true Monster that kills anyone on sight, right?”

 

Meng Jia ignored him and stomped the ground fiercely, moving so quickly he almost disappeared from sight as he charged toward Lu Fan.

 

Lu Fan shook his head and casually took out his Underworld Serpent’s Cry. “Before you completely lose yourself, I’ll stop you.”

 

As he spoke, he drew the bow.

 

This time, Lu Fan used Summon Divine Arrow to replicate Bao Bao’s Skill, Chain Lightning!

 

On Lu Fan’s bowstring, a Bright Yellow Lightning Arrow suddenly appeared, crackling loudly.

 

Although the Lightning Arrow was not particularly powerful, it was extremely dazzling.

 

Everyone present was utterly astonished because they rarely saw Lu Fan in action and never expected that when facing Meng Jia, he would take out a bow!

 

After all, he was a Dragon Tamer! Competing with an expert like Meng Jia, was he not going to release his Pet Dragon?

 

Could it be that dealing with Meng Jia does not warrant him summoning his Pet Dragon!?

 

What incredible power does his arrow possess that makes him so confident it can defeat Meng Jia in one shot!?

 

Everyone was very puzzled by Lu Fan’s actions, but in the next second, something happened that left them all dumbfounded.
