There is another brief break before the next match. After all, Cloud has fought for so long, so it is not fair if he fight again right away.
The next match would be Cloud against Fang Yue.
Fang Yue has been watching the previous match.
At first, it was to see Xiao Fan's moves and to make plans to counter those moves.
But now, she is totally shocked. She didn't even have the time to make plans against Cloud's moves.
She got surprised again and again when she was watching.
At the moment when Xiao Fan almost lose right away.
At the moment when she saw Xiao Fan released his full strength, when he was enraged.
At the moment when Cloud calmly counter every of Xiao Fan's moves.
It was too one sided. If Cloud didn't used Xiao Fan to help him improve himself, then it would've end very quickly.
Fang Yue rack her brain to think of a way to win. She is actually quite competitive.
She has never lose before. There is only Xiao Fan in this city that can fight her properly.
But they didn't really have a proper match before. There was only some spar with some ambiguous results.
They are quite popular in the city after all. If they fight and lose, it would affect their reputation.
They might not care much about it but they also need to think about their family's reputation because it would also affect that somewhat.
When watching the match, Fan Yue thought that her strength is quite close to Xiao Fan's.
It is at the level where if they fought, she might not 100 percent confident if she can win.
But the probability would be closer to 50/50.
And she was confident that she can have a great battle and she also thought that she would have a slight advantage.
But Xiao Fan's movements when he was enraged is more powerful than she thought.
His moves after he threw away his anger are also very efficient. She is not confident she can take those moves as well as Cloud.
Briefly after the previous match ends, the city lord and Xiao Han came back to their seats.
They didn't sit right away. They first thought back about the match and what it signify.
After they sat down, the first to speak is Xiao Han.
"To think that there is such a talent in this city. It's a good thing that we start the recruitment competition around this time. If it were one month earlier we might've missed him."
"If that's the case then I would've had the chance to recruit him. Maybe I would've adopt him as a son. Now I don't have that chance anymore. What a pity..." The city lord said then sigh.
It would've been a blessing for the city lord if he manage to recruit Cloud. His power might then grow more compared to the Xiao family.
At least that's what the city lord is thinking.
Xiao Han just smile at the side. Now that he has seen this, he definitely wouldn't let Cloud go.
If he can recruit such a talent then he would get significant contribution in the future.
He would also gain some benefits immediately. If it is proven that Cloud is very talented, than he would get immediate resources and other forms of treasures.
This thought makes him smile from ear to ear.
"It's for the better uncle. Someone like him, this city wouldn't be able to contain him for long. Even if you recruit him, he would still leave eventually." Xiao Han said to the city lord with a smile.
The city lord just glance at him with a slightly ugly look. But he didn't make it obvious. He quickly return his expression to normal.
It is true that the city would not be able to contain Cloud for long. Looking at his talent, he would eventually leave to improve further.
The city lord think that entering the sect would actually be the best outcome for Cloud.
But if he had the chance to recruit him, then he would've been able to make some connection with Cloud first.
Then in the future when Cloud gain some success, he would also get some benefits.
Now, he doesn't have the chance. He even look at Xiao Han with some envy. But of course he doesn't make it obvious.
In his heart, he even curse the bastard beside him who is still smiling in glee so openly.
How can you be so happy while I miss a once in a lifetime opportunity?
"You're right. It is actually for the best that he can enter the Sect." The city lord reply with a heavy heart.
