After winning a match, Su Fan could rest. There were resting rooms on-site for immediate breaks.
Each venue had five hundred participants. Even if ten people competed in each match, it would take fifty matches to complete the first round, clearly making it impossible to finish in one day. Therefore, resting rooms were essential.
Each venue had fifty resting rooms, accessible only to the winners for undisturbed rest.
Su Fan didn't recognize anyone among the five hundred participants and was too lazy to watch. He'd rather rest more.
Dedicated personnel guarded the resting rooms, ensuring no disturbances. Anyone causing trouble at the venue would be immediately executed. These "security" personnel were elites from the Imperial Guard, their strength not to be underestimated.
Su Fan closed his eyes and returned to reality.
With fifty matches to complete, it would extend into the next day. Su Fan saw no need to wait inside.
Su Fan brought out the Purple Lightning Azure Frost Sword.
He was primarily drawn to the equipment's inherent skill, "Fire Meteor."
He wondered what this game-breaking ability would be like in reality.
Purple Lightning Azure Frost Sword
Imbued with potent elemental fire energy and possessing mysterious power.
This was the description of the Purple Lightning Azure Frost Sword.
It didn't reveal much.
However, as Su Fan held the hilt and carefully sensed it, he discovered that the sword indeed contained rich elemental fire energy, and it seemed to be connected to the forces of heaven and earth.
*Jingle, jingle!*
Su Fan's phone rang at that moment, interrupting his contemplation.
Su Fan saw it was Dongfang Tingyin and quickly answered.
"What is it?"
Su Fan knew Dongfang Tingyin wouldn't call him without a reason.
"The Western Ability Alliance has arrived and is looking for you."
Dongfang Tingyin's tone was heavy as she spoke to Su Fan.
Su Fan's spirits lifted.
He knew how powerful the Ability Alliance was, with numerous SSS-class experts originating from it. Even the unfathomably powerful Alice hailed from the Ability Alliance.
"Did they trouble you?"
Su Fan asked with concern.
"No, they are in the office now."
Dongfang Tingyin denied it.
Su Fan's expression turned serious.
Normally, it was impossible for anyone to reach Dongfang Tingyin's office without permission. This implied they had forced their way in without prior notice, indicating ill intentions.
"I'll be there soon."
Without further thought, Su Fan decided to go immediately.
Su Fan put on all the new equipment he had brought from the game world.
He immediately felt a surge of elemental fire energy filling his body, as if he were a sun.
Su Fan's attire looked somewhat mismatched, like a low-level extra in a film, and the props were carelessly chosen.
However, Su Fan couldn't afford to care about appearances now. Although it was ugly, it could enhance his strength.
With a step, he flew directly towards the Martial Alliance Tower.
Landing on the rooftop, Su Fan proceeded directly to Dongfang Tingyin's office.
Pushing open the office door, Su Fan saw two strangers sitting inside, one with an Eastern face and the other with a Western face.
Dongfang Tingyin sat at her desk, appearing unharmed.
Su Fan breathed a sigh of relief.
The three people in the office looked at Su Fan's peculiar attire with a strange gaze; he truly resembled someone who had just returned from a film set.
"Su Fan?"
The Eastern person spoke to Su Fan in Chinese.
"Who are you?"
Su Fan looked at the two of them with confusion.
"I am Wei Feiyu, and this is Beliya. We are from the Ability Alliance. You should know of us."
Wei Feiyu stood up and introduced them to Su Fan.
"So, what is it you want?"
Su Fan raised an eyebrow and asked, puzzled.
"Two of our members have gone missing in your China. We suspect you are involved. Have you met Zhang Tianhua and Austin Gall?"
Wei Feiyu questioned Su Fan.
"Setting aside whether I know these two, are you... interrogating me?"
Su Fan was displeased with Wei Feiyu's attitude. He was no longer the person he used to be, someone who could be bullied by any Heavenly Realm cultivator.
"You can interpret it that way. I just want to know if you have seen them."
Wei Feiyu nodded, showing no regard for Su Fan.
"Heh, I have. I killed Zhang Tianhua, and his brother Zhang Tiannan, buried in some forest in Beijing. I've forgotten the exact location. Austin Gall, that fat guy, is probably fish food by now."
Su Fan said with a cold laugh.
This Wei Feiyu was too arrogant, and as a Chinese person, he was siding with foreigners. He was a traitor!
Wei Feiyu's expression changed instantly.
"You killed Austin? Impossible!"
Wei Feiyu clearly didn't believe Su Fan. Austin was among the top ten strongest in their organization; how could he have been so easily killed by Su Fan?
"If you don't think so, then it's not true."
Su Fan shrugged. If the other party didn't believe him, why should he explain further?
"You dare to toy with us!"
Wei Feiyu became angry. He had been away from China for many years and had never endured such disrespect here.
"So what if I toy with you? Come and bite me?"
Su Fan sneered and turned to run.
Wei Feiyu was stunned, not expecting Su Fan to flee so abruptly.
"Chase him! He killed Zhang Tianhua!"
Wei Feiyu said to Beliya in a foreign language.
Beliya didn't understand what Wei Feiyu and Su Fan had said. He only saw that Wei Feiyu was unhappy, and then Su Fan ran, so Wei Feiyu ordered him to pursue.
He could only trust Wei Feiyu, as they were companions.
Beliya closed his eyes and began to sense.
"The rooftop!"
Beliya immediately predicted Su Fan's escape route.
Beliya's ability was precognition, related to time, very rare but not very offensive.
Upon learning Su Fan's escape route, Wei Feiyu placed his hands on his head and flew upwards.
*Bang!*
Wei Feiyu's body smashed through the ceiling, shattering concrete as he ascended to the rooftop.
Beliya followed closely behind Wei Feiyu.
When Su Fan reached the rooftop, he found Wei Feiyu and the others had already outmaneuvered him and reached the rooftop ahead of him.
"Running? Why aren't you running anymore?"
Wei Feiyu sneered when he saw Su Fan frozen in surprise.
Su Fan was merely astonished. After a brief pause, he saw the large hole nearby and understood what had happened.
With a step, Su Fan shot straight into the sky.
Wei Feiyu hadn't expected Su Fan to be a Heavenly Realm martial artist, so he was caught off guard by the aerial escape. He froze for a moment as Su Fan flew away.
"SSS-class expert!"
Wei Feiyu finally realized Su Fan was a Heavenly Realm expert.
"Beliya!"
Wei Feiyu called out to Beliya.
Beliya immediately understood Wei Feiyu's intention.
He closed his eyes and used his ability.
Su Fan's figure appeared in his mind; Su Fan was standing amidst the clouds, motionless, with the Martial Alliance Tower below him.
"He's in the sky! Not moving!"
Beliya immediately relayed the scene in his mind to Wei Feiyu.
