Chapter 194: 162: Battle Network “King of Avoiding Challenges”! (Two in One)_3
He had never participated in a competition in any age group, and the same goes for the Ranking division!
The power or person who erased Jianmu’s fight videos from the Battle Network didn’t choose to erase the rumors about Jianmu.
This indicates that the power or person behind Jianmu just doesn’t want Jianmu’s spiritual instrument and Guardian Beast to be exposed.
Under these circumstances, it is quite possible that Jianmu will still have a chance to face opponents on the Battle Network in the future.
Liu Tiantian was very confident about her speculation.
But after a whole week, Liu Tiantian checked the Battle Network every day without discovering any new rumors about Jianmu.
This made Liu Tiantian feel a little discouraged and deflated.
Not only Liu Tiantian, but all those who had watched Fang Mu’s two past battle videos, the grumpy old men always hanging around in the Skin Peeling House, and even lots of Battle Network hosts and no-name reporters.
They were all keeping an eye on the situation with Jianmu.
News about Jianmu could still generate tremendous heat whenever it was released.
For journalists making a living on the Battle Network, this heat and the related views translate into money.
Once anyone gets new information about Jianmu, even if it’s not exclusive, there’s a chance for them to make a fortune.
Those hosts who are paying attention to Jianmu are hoping that they, too, can matchup with him.
Xin Guang gained considerable exposure from his one-time face-off with Jianmu during the time the videos were not deleted.
As a result, he was directly accepted as a trainee by a large club.
After two and a half years of training, Xin Guang will have a chance for an evaluation.
If he passes, he will be permitted to stay on the main team of the large club as a substitute.
If he fails, he won’t be kicked out, but will be relegated to the B or C team to participate in some commercial city leagues.
This worst-case scenario is still far better than Xin Guang’s original dream.
Xin Guang can be said to have fully relied on Jianmu’s popularity.
Under Jianmu’s shining spotlight, even his opponent, Xin Guang, basked in the glory.
The ultimate goal of many Battle Network hosts is to earn the appreciation of a club.
But becoming part of a large club is extremely difficult.
Xin Guang paved a shortcut purely based on luck.
This shortcut can be replicated by anyone who encounters Jianmu!
Given that all the Battle Network hosts across all ranking divisions wanted to meet Jianmu,
The average live broadcast duration on the Battle Network increased by over two hours in the past week.
Many Battle Network journalists reported on this phenomenon.
For those who love watching live streams, this week’s broadcasts were simply too enjoyable!
Hosts who used to log off once their slots were up, now find excuses to extend their broadcasts.
Once they learned the reason from the articles published by Battle Network journalists,
Jianmu, who hadn’t showed up on the Battle Network and hadn’t had a single match in the past week, was hailed as the “King of Avoiding Challenges”.
At this time, Fang Mu had started his first promotion match.
Fang Mu was transported to the battlefield and found that the battleground for the Bronze to Silver promotion matches was more than four times larger than the one for the calibration matches.
The ten-meter-wide and sixty-meter-long field had become twenty meters wide and one hundred and twenty meters long.
Clearly, the increase in battlefield size was to give Silver Stage Guardian Beasts enough room to perform.
When a Guardian Beast reaches the Silver Stage, it possesses two skills.
When a Beastmaster contracts two Guardian Beasts, they can coordinate and formulate battle strategies.
Only with sufficient distance can the entire battle be considered fair.
Some Elemental Beasts that excel at long-range attacks have extremely weak physical defenses.
Without enough distance, these long-range attack beasts might get knocked out by melee beasts before they can even use their skills.
During his standoff with Fang Mu, Xin Guang didn’t choose to attack immediately with his Iron Arm Fire Monkey when he saw that Fang Mu had summoned a Silver Stage Half-Elf.
On one hand, he was startled by the appearance of Rainy Doll, delaying his judgment.
On the other hand, Xin Guang felt that in the sixty-meter long arena, the two Beast Masters weren’t standing at the two ends of the field.
The distance between them was only about forty meters.
Facing an Elemental Beast adept at long range attacks, even his Half-Elf’s Iron Arm Fire Monkey could close in quickly.
Even if it couldn’t threaten Rainy Doll, the Iron Arm Fire Monkey’s [Fire Eye Burn] could still kill Jianmu in a surprise attack.
However, it became clear that Xin Guang miscalculated.
Xin Guang was deeply troubled by this.
If he had performed better during his matchup with Jianmu,
There was a good chance he could have gotten a better contract when he was recognized by the large club.
Fang Mu thought the opponents he would meet in the promotion matches would be stronger than those in the calibration matches.
However, Fang Mu soon realized he had miscalculated.
The opponent he met in the first promotion match only had two Bronze Stage Guardian Beasts, and there was no cooperation between these two Beasts.
Both were aggressive beasts, acting rashly on their own, which is indeed an easy way to take advantage based on body strength in lower-ranking duels.
No wonder they made it to the promotion match from Bronze to Silver.
Fang Mu hastily dispatched the two opponents he was matched up within his two successive matches.
When Fang Mu was preparing for the third match, he suddenly received an official message from the Battle Network.
[V Battle Net]: Given that your account “Jianmu” has high hidden scores, you’ve been granted a chance to skip a few ranks.
If you choose to use the opportunity to skip ranks, the system will match you with an opponent at Silver Rank Level Four. If you defeat the opponent, you can directly advance to Silver Rank Level Four.
Fang Mu became interested at once.
After participating in the Battle Network contest last time, Fang Mu speciallv researched the situation in the Battle Network Ranking division.
He learned about the concept of hidden scores in the Ranking division.
If your hidden scores are high enough and you win two matches in a row, you can get a chance to skip a few ranks from the Battle Network during your final promotion match.
Since Fang Mu began playing in the Battle Network Ranking division, he has always been on a winning streak, but so far, he has only played seven matches.
Unexpectedly, he could get this opportunity during the promotion match after winning seven matches in a row.
With Rainy Doll, his Legendary Quality Silver Rank Level Ten Guardian Beast, Fang Mu had nothing to fear in the Silver Rank.
Fang Mu was eager to face off against a strong opponent, so he immediately accepted the Battle Network’s offer..
