Chapter 396 (1/2)

<hr><hr>

The spectators and the VIP certainly didn't expect the dark horse to face such a strong champion candidate so soon.

Jaafar is ranked at no.3 on the official rankings in Silvaria World Inst.i.tute. Only Caah and Sylph is above him in terms of fighting power.

Wu Yan is strong, if nothing else, his achievements are more than enough as proof of this. Jaafar is a tier 8 individual while he is still at tier 7, to the spectators, they aren't expecting a fair fight.

Maybe if he went up against Mikoto, he would lose but the spectators helplessly shook their head as they felt bad about the newcomer's streak of fame. There is no doubt in their minds that Wu Yan is going down today.

Caah took a glimpse at Wu Yan and he sighed. He felt bad for Wu Yan too. He recognized his strength, yes, but to choose a winner between Wu Yan and Jaafar, he would have to go for Jaafar. Not to mention, Caah isn't sure he can consistently win against Jaafar himself.

Caah can't accurately tell Wu Yan's strength, he can't detect a lick of dou qi or mana from him, judging from what he has seen from previous fights, Wu Yan don't seem to have strength that reached the tier 8 threashold.

Wu Yan is bound to lose due to the insurmountable gap of strength between tier 7 and tier 8. This gap couldn't be filled even if he did have strong armaments or some other trump cards.

It might be possible to surmount this gap of strength between tiers but at higher tiers, the gap grows wider and wider. Caah has never heard of a precedent.

Everyone looked at Jaafar. Jaafar is calm when stared by so many people.

In his mind, there are only few opponents that has his recognition, namely, Sylph, Mikoto, Astrea, and Caah.

”Ha! Finally, he's going to get a smackdown!”

Bing Mian jumped in joy. After Bing Ling's defeat at Wu Yan's hand, he had been enduring his frustration, he cursed Wu Yan so that he would go up against Jaafar or other similar top rankers. He didn't expect his jinx to work so easily.

Bing Ling frowned, he had recovered from his defeat, n.o.body knew what he thought about it.

”Yan…”

Lulu and Fei Fei turned towards Wu Yan. They were worried about Wu Yan, they are very familiar with Jaafar's strength. Wu Yan bitterly laughed in response, he rubbed Lulu's head.

”Have some confidence in me will ya?”

Wu Yan saw the looks on Lulu and Fei Fei's faces. He didn't want them to worry.

The other girls had grave looks.

Jaafar is a tier 8 individual, Wu Yan is at Level 68. His level is not representative of his true strength due to his possession of True Ancestor, Eternal Arms Mastery, Gate of Babylon, and other armaments and abilities. The girls themselves aren't too sure whether or not Wu Yan can win with all this in his a.r.s.enal.

Wu Yan shook his head. Jaafar is strong but Wu Yan is sure he can put up a good fight.

If he unleashed all his power, he is sure he would have some chance at beating Sylph. Meteor Storm is a bow that intimidated even Aiwa.s.s, an angel of unfathomable power. He is an ent.i.ty above Sylph in strength. Wu Yan is sure his Meteor Storm can beat Sylph's golden armament.

Meteor Storm would only use it as a last resort since the fallout can be potentially disastrous given the relatively small area of this arena. In the end, he is sure he could put up a fight against Sylph, what's more to say about Jaafar.

Lei w.a.n.g slowly turned away from Wu Yan. He is rooting for Wu Yan since he is closer to Lulu. He discerned that this mysterious fellow is probably the reason why Lulu is more cheerful nowadays. Lei w.a.n.g didn't know he had nailed it.

Even Fei Fei would unconsciously mention Wu Yan in their conversations. This is why Lei w.a.n.g is also fond of Wu Yan.
