"Tiger, Brother Tiger," the man in sunglasses stared blankly at Chen Fan for a moment, then looked at Yang Hu and asked cautiously, "What, what exactly is going on?"

"Yeah, Tiger, why are you suddenly signing a life-or-death contract with someone?"

The people in the server room also rushed out upon seeing this, repeatedly trying to persuade them.

"What happened?"

Yang Hu sneered, his gaze falling on Chen Fan. "It's not that I want to fight him to the death, it's that he wants to fight me."

"What?"

The man in sunglasses and the others stared at Chen Fan, mouths agape, dumbfounded.

All eyes turned to Chen Fan, their expressions filled with utter disbelief.

Yang Hu's voice rang out.

"A few minutes ago, I kindly had someone invite him into the private room and even offered him a thousand points as compensation, hoping to get closer to him. Who knew that this kid had ulterior motives."

"Is he harboring malicious intentions?"

"What malicious intent?"

All around was quiet.

"What malicious intent?"

Yang Hu sneered, "He said that he only earned 10,000 points after fighting three arena matches, which is far too few. In order to get more points, he wants me to find a C-level Awakened to cooperate with him in throwing a match."

"Find a C-level Awakened One to help him fix matches?"

"Match-fixing?"

The group looked at each other, puzzled.

Chen Fan had already guessed it in his heart, and his eyes narrowed slightly.

It seems this guy is planning to turn the tables on me to prevent me from revealing what happened.

As a confidant of the local association president, everyone present was naturally willing to believe what he said, even if they eloquently uttered tales, no one would believe them.

I have to say, that's pretty shady!

Yang Hu gritted his teeth and said, "Because he is new and his background is still unclear, everyone will definitely put most of their points on the other C-level Awakener."

"Could it be?" someone exclaimed in surprise.

"That's right!"

Yang Hu stared intently at Chen Fan. "This guy surnamed Li told me to say hello to that C-level Awakened one on the stage and ask him to deliberately hold back so that he can win."

Because most people bet their points on their opponents, he continued to bet on himself, just like before. As a result, he gained hundreds of thousands of points!

"What?!"

"This is outrageous!"

The crowd was already furious because Chen Fan had won a lot of points, and when they heard this, they were enraged and wished they could tear Chen Fan to pieces on the spot.

"Hey Li, are you even human? You hid your strength in the first three matches and won so many points from us, and that's fine, but you're still not satisfied and want to take all the points from us?"

"Li Ping, how heartless you are!" Ren Xiancheng, who had fought Chen Fan before, gritted his teeth and said, "Don't you feel any remorse for doing this?"

"Guilt? If he felt guilty, he wouldn't have come to Tiger and told him about this plan. Brothers, we all underestimated this newcomer. He's not a newcomer at all; he's clearly a cunning and treacherous old fox!"

"Brother Tiger, so you're saying that it's because you didn't agree to his request?" The man in sunglasses asked hurriedly, as if he had just realized something.

"That's right."

Yang Hu nodded, sighed, and said, "We're all brothers in the same association. Earning points isn't easy. Some people have even died outside for a few hundred points, without even a proper burial. How could I do such a thing? So, I refused."

"And then what happened?"

Someone asked.

After all, if it were just a matter of refusing, things wouldn't have escalated to this point.

Who exactly proposed this life-or-death duel?

"Later, he repeatedly suggested it, even threatening me, but I still refused. I told him that a person should have a conscience and shouldn't resort to any means to earn some points. Who knew he would get so angry and actually challenged me to a duel to the death, you surnamed Li," Yang Hu looked at Chen Fan and said, "If you're a real man, do you dare admit that it was you who suggested a duel to the death with me?"

Instantly, Chen Fan once again became the focus of the entire audience.

All around, pairs of eyes burned with fury.

If it were an ordinary person in this situation, they would either be so frightened that they would turn pale and speak recklessly, or they would be red-faced and argue endlessly. But Chen Fan was not like that.

He smiled and nodded, saying, "That's right, I was the one who proposed the life-or-death duel with you. So, are you brave enough or not?"

After all, it's too late to say anything now.

Moreover, judging from the other party's practiced performance, I might not be the first person to be turned around and falsely accused.

Perhaps, from the moment she rejected him, he had already planned to slander her.

What he told me was a big secret. If it were me, I wouldn't allow someone who wasn't me to have such leverage. How could I not have a backup plan?

Upon hearing Chen Fan's words, the people around him became even more enraged.

"You, surnamed Li, are too arrogant!"

"His arrogance is an understatement; he's clearly a despicable and shameless scoundrel!"

"That's right! Didn't you hear what Brother Tiger said? When we entered the private room, Brother Tiger gave him a thousand points! A thousand points! Even if Brother Tiger gave me ten points, I would be eternally grateful. This guy not only doesn't know how to be grateful, but he actually wants to fight Brother Tiger to the death! Is he even human?"

"He's clearly a beast!"

"I think they've gotten cocky after winning the previous three games, and they don't even respect Brother Tiger anymore."

"That's right, Tiger is a C-level Awakener. He wants to fight Tiger to the death? He should take a good look at himself in the mirror; it's like throwing an egg against a rock!"

"Tiger, sign him! As long as this scum exists, he's a disgrace to our association. When we get to the ring, let him know what despair is!"

The vast majority of people sided with Yang Hu and shouted wildly.

Only a very few people showed suspicion in their eyes.

They had heard rumors about arena matches between C-level Awakened individuals, and that there were inside stories involved.

Moreover, if I remember correctly, a few years ago, one or two C-level Awakened also proposed this idea.

The root cause is still Yang Hu.

Now, with this scene unfolding before our eyes, isn't it all too coincidental?

Yang Hu looked at Chen Fan with a mocking smile on his lips.

It's as if it's saying, "See? You think you can fight me?"

Once the surrounding chatter subsided, Yang Hu gestured for everyone to be quiet, then said to Chen Fan, "Li Ping, everyone makes mistakes. As long as you acknowledge your mistakes and correct them, it's okay."

Besides, you're a newcomer. If I were to go on stage and fight you to the death, even if I won, it wouldn't be very prestigious. How about this: if you're willing to give all your points to everyone here, I'll pretend this never happened, okay?

Yang Hu laughed.

He's figured it out too.

Why would he want to fight Chen Fan to the death?

There's absolutely no need for that.

Wouldn't it be more satisfying to ruin his reputation and make him universally hated in the association than to kill him?

Upon hearing this, those around him did indeed breathe heavily.

If I'm not mistaken, this newbie should have over 10,000 points, right?

With over a hundred people present, almost everyone could get seventy or eighty points, which is no small amount.

This is especially true for those who have lost all their points; it's like sending charcoal in snowy weather.

"Hey Li, did you hear that? Do as Brother Tiger says, and we can pretend nothing happened."

"That's right. The way you won our points before was also dishonorable. You should have returned them to us."

"Li Ping, Brother Hu has given you this opportunity, so don't refuse a toast only to suffer the consequences."

"Li Ping, hand over the points!"

The crowd's voices grew louder and louder.

"Yang Hu, stop with the nonsense," Chen Fan said, unmoved, simply staring at his opponent. "Do you dare to fight me to the death?"

There was a moment of silence, followed by a sound like a tsunami.

"Tiger, fight him!"

"That's right! Fight him! So what if you won three matches? You really think you're something special?"

"Fight! Fight! Fight!"

The crowd's voices converged into one word: Fight!

Even the man in sunglasses and others raised their arms and shouted.

The reason is simple: Chen Fan is too arrogant! His arrogance knows no bounds.

Therefore, he had no choice but to die!

As a C-level Awakened, Yang Hu could kill him with ease, so why wouldn't he agree?

They couldn't wait to see Chen Fan get brutally beaten on the ring!

"Yang Hu, if you're a man, just agree without hesitation."

Chen Fan added fuel to the fire.

The other party is very clever. They know how to use this group of uninformed people to completely ruin their reputation and make them like a rat in the street in the Stone City Awakeners Association from now on.

He could also turn the tables and use these simple-minded people to put them in a difficult position, so that even if they didn't want to fight him to the death, they had no choice!

Yang Hu's expression changed slightly.

He felt that the situation seemed to be slipping out of his control.

Why is Li Ping so insistent on fighting me in this situation? Could he also be a C-level Awakener?

However, the current situation left him no time to think about it anymore.

If he chooses to back down today, he will never be able to hold his head high in the association again.

not to mention,

So what if Li Ping is a C-level Awakener? I passed the C-level Awakener advancement mission two years ago.

He will win this battle!

"Hmph, don't try to provoke me."

He sneered, a hint of pity in his eyes. "I gave you a chance, but you didn't cherish it. Since that's the case, today I'll have the association rid us of this scum!"

"Well said!"

"Good job, Tiger!"

"Kill him!"

The surrounding awakened individuals erupted in a deafening roar of cheers.

As for Chen Fan?

In their eyes, he was already a dead man.
