Sensing the hair-raising crisis, cold sweat slid down Lu Cao's forehead.
However, as soon as the cold sweat appeared, it was immediately evaporated by the high temperature in front of him.
He didn't dare to move at all because he knew that if he dared to move, the real high temperature would immediately erupt.
At that time, he would definitely be seriously injured.
"Fang Ping wins, replacing Lu Cao's ranking on the list. He's ranked fourth."
Seeing that Lu Cao had been subdued and had no way to make a comeback, the old referee stepped forward and looked at Fang Ping with a slightly surprised expression.
Like the people watching the battle, he was also more optimistic about Lu Cao because he had once presided over Lu Cao's battle and knew how invincible Lu Cao's "Deceleration Field" was. Even he thought that he was inferior to Lu Cao.
However, he didn't expect that the final result would be Fang Ping winning and Lu Cao losing. Fang Ping, who was ranked tenth on the list, challenged Lu Cao and successfully took over Lu Cao's ranking.
"He won again. Even Lu Cao, who is ranked fourth on the list, is no match for him. This Fang Ping is too monstrous."
"Indeed, he's too monstrous. It's only been a short time, but he's already ranked just below the three people on the list."
The people who came to watch the battle couldn't help but exclaim.
They had looked down on Fang Ping time and time again, but Fang Ping had refreshed their understanding of him time and time again. He had displayed even greater strength time and time again.
This kind of growth speed was simply monstrous. Even compared to the growth experience of the three people, it was not the slightest bit worse.
Hearing these people's exclamations, Fan Xuan and Yan Xue, the only ones who had time to watch the battle, looked at each other and couldn't help but smile.
Ever since they met Fang Ping, Fang Ping had repeatedly shown a growth speed that amazed them. Today was no exception.
However, it wasn't just the people from Hean Base City who were amazed, but also the awakened ones from Yinchuan Base City.
After dispelling the flaming hand, Fang Ping walked out from the space within the door. Although he had defeated Lu Cao, he didn't look at Lu Cao with contempt. Instead, he looked at him with caution.
This battle was not easy. Except for the magnificent Fitzgerald, which had not been used yet, he had used all the means that could be used. It was enough to show Lu Cao's strength.
For Lu Cao to be able to be ranked just below those three and occupy the fourth place on the list, his strength was definitely powerful.
Especially the ability to decelerate. Fang Ping suspected that it might be a superpower.
"Although you've won, don't think that you can hold on to this position forever. Next time, I'll be the one challenging you."
Looking at Fang Ping, who had defeated him, Lu Cao's eyes were slightly dazed. He had not expected that he would actually lose.
This was something that he had never thought about before the battle. At most, he thought that his opponent could pose a threat to him, but once he used his Deceleration Domain, his opponent would definitely be defeated.
He didn't expect that not only was the other party's combat prowess not inferior to his at all, he was even able to break through the Speed Reduction Domain.
However, his eyes quickly regained his fighting spirit.
To be able to reach this step, it was not as simple as talent. Which one of them had not walked out from killing and training? Naturally, it was impossible for him to give up because of such a small setback.
"We'll fight again when the time comes."
Fang Ping solemnly nodded.
Lu Cao's strength and potential were unquestionable. If his strength increased slowly after this, it was not impossible for Lu Cao to catch up and surpass him.
Hu Ao 'er and the other two were there. When they saw Fang Ping defeating Lu Cao, Chang Sheng looked slightly surprised, while Hu Ao' er looked as if she had expected it.
Fang Ping was one of the few people that she could not see through, and she even faintly felt a threat from him.
For her to feel threatened, Lu Cao's strength was not hard to imagine. Naturally, Lu Cao was not his opponent. Just as she had guessed, Lu Cao had won in the end.
"Fang Ping?"
Among the three of them, Di Long, who had not spoken since the beginning, suddenly spoke in a voice that only he could hear.
After defeating the fourth place on the leaderboard, it was not hard to imagine who Lu Cao's next target would be. It would definitely be him, the third place on the leaderboard.
Although from the strength that Lu Cao had shown so far, he could not give him too much pressure, he saw a potential in Lu Cao, a potential that could threaten him.
After leaving the wasteland that had become even more broken, Fang Ping walked toward Fan Xuan and Yan Xue. Fan Xuan and Yan Xue also walked out to meet up with Fang Ping.
Fan Xuan wore a purple shirt and black slim pants. A pair of boots made her slender legs look even more slender.
Yan Xue wore a white shirt and beige pants. Her face was cold, and she looked cold.
Their beauty attracted the attention of many young people present. Some who were confident in themselves even wanted to go up and talk to them.
However, when they saw that it was Fang Ping who had met up with them, they could not help but stop in their tracks.
In this world, it was sometimes very dangerous to strike up a conversation. After witnessing the battle just now, they were not confident that they could withstand a punch from Fang Ping.
"Congratulations."
Fan Xuan and Yan Xue smiled and congratulated Xiang Fangping.
"Thank you."
Fang Ping thanked him and looked at the few young men who had wanted to get close but had stopped because of him. He joked.
"How was it? I'm not bad as a flower protector, right?"
"Yes, you did well. Keep it up."
Fan Xuan smiled sweetly, while Yan Xue rolled her eyes.
"Understood."
Fang Ping replied. He puffed out his chest and moved closer to the two of them like a knight in shining armor. He stood guard beside them.
Seeing Fang Ping like this, Fan Xuan could not help but laugh until she bent over. Yan Xue could not help but smile.
After a while, the fun ended. Fan Xuan said.
"You're fourth on the list this time. You have to treat us, and it has to be at that ability user restaurant."
"No problem."
Fang Ping agreed with a smile. Even though he was still short on money, he was not short on small sums of money.
Because he was going to use the Flying Thunder God Technique, he put his hands on their shoulders. Their bodies tensed up slightly, but they quickly relaxed and let him hold their shoulders.
Whoosh!
The three of them disappeared. When they reappeared, they were already in Fang Ping's residence in the Magical Creature Countermeasure Department.
He had spent a total of fifty to sixty thousand for one meal. However, to the current Fang Ping, this amount of money was just a drop in the ocean. Naturally, it was not a problem.
Fan Xuan and Yan Xue also knew that Fang Ping now had a monthly income of more than forty million. Because of this, the two were not polite with Fang Ping.
After resting for a few days, Fang Ping prepared to leave the base city and hunt Morning Star monsters with Lu Yu.
Before leaving, he planned to search the Magical Creature Countermeasure Department and the nearby area to see if Wu Shi had quietly returned to Yinchuan base city.
Hum —
His Observation Haki was activated. With him as the center, a range of more than three kilometers fell into his perception.
One after another, the sounds appeared in his perception like numerous lanterns, densely packed together.
Among them, some were weak like candlelight, while others were strong like raging bonfires.
The weak candlelight was an ordinary person.
The blazing bonfire was a rank 5 Awakened.
The stronger the Awakened, the stronger their life essence, and the stronger their aura.
He didn't sense the aura of a Morning Star powerhouse, because once one reached the Morning Star realm, their control over their own body would reach an unimaginable level.
They could already control their own aura. Unless they actively revealed it or couldn't suppress it in a fierce battle, it was impossible to sense their aura.
Fang Ping suspected that Morning Star powerhouses had a longer lifespan than those below the Morning Star realm because they often suppressed their aura.
This way, it was likely to slow down the loss of life.
After hailing a taxi, Fang Ping began to wander around the Magical Creature Countermeasure Department, searching for Wu Shi's aura.
After more than an hour, he had already searched the area around the Magical Creature Countermeasure Department, but he didn't find Wu Shi's aura.
"Is it because he was alerted and didn't sneak in, or does he have some kind of method to isolate his aura?"
Getting out of the taxi, Fang Ping walked aimlessly on the side of the road, thinking in his heart.
Although his Observation Haki's perception was good, it also had the ability to isolate aura, and even some magic items had this ability.
When he was re-quenching the magic items in the Magical Creature Pavilion, he encountered a magic item that could isolate the perception of Observation Haki.
After thinking for a moment, Fang Ping gave up for the time being.
With Observation Haki's one-second future prediction, Wu Shi's ability to control the Awakened to attack him with his mental manipulation ability was not a big threat to him.
The current focus was not on how to deal with Wu Shi, but on improving his growth talent and getting faster strength improvement.
Shua –
He raised his head and looked at the sky. It was already evening. He used the Flying Thunder God Technique and disappeared.
Behind him, a man wearing thick black-rimmed glasses and dressed like an office worker looked at the place where he disappeared as if he had seen a ghost.
A living person suddenly disappeared in front of his eyes.
He couldn't help but take off his glasses and rub his eyes to confirm that he wasn't dazzled.
But there was still no one, and the person just disappeared in front of his eyes.
Looking at the dim sky, he felt a chill on his back, tightened his clothes, and walked away in a hurry from the place where Fang Ping disappeared.
Although it was a world where the Awakened existed, supernatural rumors such as ghosts still existed, and there were still many believers.
Among them, many of the Awakened pretended to be ghosts and scared people.
