Chapter 335: Chapter 335: I Have Experience in Fighting Above My Level

Meanwhile, in the control room behind the competition area, the broadcast had already been cut off.

Four or five top officials from the Superpower Alliance had already begun to argue.

"I still think we should cancel the participation rights for all Third-tier competitors, including Lu Xiao, and directly promote Mr. Edson to the champion’s seat. This would align with most people’s interests, and bettors wouldn’t riot," one of them said.

"That’s just nonsense, doing that is clearly engaging in manipulation. Do we even want to hold the Mutant Exchange Competition anymore?" another retorted.

"The current situation is that we can’t determine Lu Xiao’s strength. I think we can delay the final match by one day," suggested another.

"Shut your mouths, even if Lu Xiao makes a breakthrough to Fourth Rank on the spot, he’s still trash in front of Mr. Edson!" someone snapped.

The group bickered heatedly, each with his own opinion.

Each person had their own thoughts and reasons.

Just as no one could convince the others, a cellphone rang inside the control room.

"It’s Mr. Edson!"

"Answer it."

The call was connected, and Edson’s voice came through the speaker, "What are you doing? Why hasn’t the final started?"

Hearing Edson’s inquiry, the top officials all shut their mouths.

From the tone of Edson, it was clear he wanted to fight Lu Xiao, and right away.

"Mr. Edson, there’s a little problem with Lu Xiao’s strength. We think it’s better to be safe and reconsider," they explained.

"Reconsider what? Do you think I’ll lose to Lu Xiao?" Edson’s tone was clearly filled with anger.

Although he also felt a bit uncertain, that was just his personal feeling; having them doubt his abilities was downright annoying.

"Mr. Edson, please, we’re just trying to make sure the betting is foolproof."

"Exactly, Mr. Edson, think about it. If Lu Xiao somehow manages to win the championship through some trick, our Superpower Alliance would be ruined. We’d have to pay two hundred billion dollars!" one explained hastily.

"Mr. Edson, please give us thirty more minutes. We will make a decision," another said calmly.

The high officials of the Superpower Alliance began to pacify Edson.

By the arena, Edson’s eye twitched, but he finally managed to suppress the anger in his heart.

"Fifteen minutes, that’s it." After saying that, Edson hung up the phone.

Edson had just put his phone back into his pocket when Lu Xiao approached him with a grin.

"Mr. Edson, so when is this final starting? Are the organizers still discussing it? Can you hurry them up a bit?"

Hearing Lu Xiao’s question, Edson felt terrible.

This was just blatant mockery.

Worse yet, he had to endure it.

"You’ll have to ask the organizers. I’m not sure. I don’t know. I’m just an ordinary contestant like you right now," Edson said after a few seconds of thought.

Lu Xiao snorted. The old man’s skills were indeed not too bad, quite good at irritating people too.

Still claiming to be an ordinary contestant. Shameless.

"Look at you, didn’t you just tell them to decide in fifteen minutes? Mr. Edson, you really forget things fast," Lu Xiao chuckled.

Edson looked at Lu Xiao, his fingers slowly clenching.

Honestly, if Chen Fei hadn’t been beside him, he would have wanted to slap Lu Xiao to death.

You already heard and still you keep asking, what the hell.

"Mr. Edson, what do you think, between the two of us, who will win?" Lu Xiao suddenly changed the subject.

Edson paused for two seconds, then his eyes narrowed into slits, "So, what makes you think you can beat me?"

"Of course, it’s based on ability. Don’t mind me saying, but I had killed several Heavenly Men even before I became one myself. I have a lot of experience in fighting above my rank," Lu Xiao claimed confidently.

Edson snorted lightly, dismissing Lu Xiao’s words.

The gap between Fourth Rank and Third-tier is even bigger than between Heavenly Men and non-Heavenly Men, much bigger.

To put it more drastically, Fourth Rank and Third-tier aren’t even on the same level.

Even more exaggeratedly, you can’t even use the term ’human’ to describe Fourth Rank, technically speaking. Fourth Rank has truly transcended the bounds of ordinary humans.

Thus, in Mutant circles, Fourth Rank has another name: Transcendent.

"Fine, then let’s hope Mr. Lu Xiao gets what he wishes and succeeds in upgrading again," Edson said to Lu Xiao and walked away. Arguing with Lu Xiao was meaningless, plus this guy’s likely just here to mess with his head.
