Taking the Mafia to the Magic World

Chapter 970  Third Official Fight

Three weeks after his match, Vicente was back on one of the fighting platforms of the Combat Center for another official round, his third match for the rank.

As he walked up to the platform and saw his opponent for today, Vicente knew that although there were only half a dozen people around the platform, hundreds of thousands were watching him right now.

After his first fight, he had found himself in the situation of being challenged by many, many Outer Disciples who were eager to use him as a springboard to success.

By the third day after his fight with Xander, over 200 challenges had been made against him!

As a result, he had ended up in a situation that normally only rank leaders ended up in. He could pick his opponents!

With only three mandatory fights a month, he had accepted a challenge from another Outer Disciple the week before, fought and won another match, and moved up a few more places in the Outer Disciple rankings.

Initially, Vicente was ranked 998, having never fought an official match. But after his first win, he climbed to position 929, which he improved a little more and is now ranked at 877.

Vicenteʼs opponent today was ranked 699, a 7-Star Archmage, someone who could give him another 40 spots if he won today!

But Vicente wasnʼt worried about his ranking. With over 200 challengers, even if he ended up fighting opponents ranked lower than him, he would still earn points.

With 3 fights a month, he could end his first year on Stonewall with 40,000 points and break into the top 250!

His goal? To reach the top of the Outer Disciple rankings and make the step up to Inner Disciple!

”Nice to meet you, Brother Fuller. I hope youʼll teach me in this game.” The adversary greeted him. This man didnʼt look less human than Vicente, with blond hair and blue eyes.

Vicente greeted his opponent in return, eager for the match to begin.

When the referee gave the signal for another match to begin, 900,000 people simultaneously watched the match from their homes around Light Cay.

Most of these spectators were ordinary people interested in the entertainment of watching powerful mages fight. But a small fraction of them, Stonewallʼs rivals, were already connected to the broadcast.

...

”Vicente Fuller, huh? Letʼs see if the rumors are true.”

A woman muttered as she stared at Vice, far away from the Polaris Realm human at the moment, but perceiving him as if she were there with him on Platform 14.

Like many others, Iris Gale had heard about Vicente in the last few days. With over 10 million total views in his two previous fights, Vicenteʼs fights had already become popular in Light Cay.

Like her, several others were watching his third fight today, eager to get a feel for what his powers looked like in reality.

Visually, his pentagram configuration was truly impressive. But his movements werenʼt enough to tell how strong he was.

There were people who could show different colors in their pentagrams than their genuine quality, so he could be an impostor.

There were people who could show different colors in their pentagrams than their genuine quality, so he could be an impostor.

However, when the fight began, Iris and several others soon sensed that this was not the case!

The moment the referee gave the go-ahead for the match to begin, Vicente unleashed his powers, causing thousands upon thousands of spectators to turn pale as they felt the pressure coming from him.

Even though the spectators couldnʼt feel everything that was happening on the stage—because the effects didnʼt affect their actual bodies—they could feel the fightersʼ powers in their virtual bodies. In other words, while their bodies and souls wouldnʼt be injured, their virtual versions could even be knocked out, depending on how the match went!

Vicente didnʼt take it lightly. Aware that many people were watching him, he wanted to preserve as much of himself as possible and end the fight quickly.

As he moved, he made all of his 6th stage viewers feel pressure in their virtual bodies, temporarily paralyzed by Viceʼs electromagnetic suppression.

The stronger ones watching him with 8-Star and 9-Star cultivation frowned and looked at him in horror.

”All this?” Iris shouted as her eyes widened and her fists clenched.

With her mouth hanging open, she watched as Vicente attacked his opponent with a merciless electric fist, hitting his opponent so fast that he had no chance to react.

...

Upon being hit by Vicente, the 699th rank Outer Disciple opened his eyes wide, the red veins in the center of his mouth intensified, and a high-pitched sound was uttered.

”Aaaagh!”

A short, piercing scream reached the ears of the many virtual spectators watching the battle as Myles looked on from the corner of the platform, his arms folded across his chest.

This time, he had come forward to be present for this decisive match.

The moment he saw student Felix Thomson thrown against the platform barrier, Myles smiled with satisfaction, seeing that this would be another quick victory for Vicente.

Vicente felt the same way, this time acting without any room for the enemy. Instead of giving them openings and opportunities, Vicente closed off all the enemyʼs alternative routes of movement in a surprise attack.

The enemy was certainly wounded enough to pose a minor threat. But he did not want to have to use his full power. Before Felix had even hit the ground, Vicente was already at his side, using mana to strengthen his own body while he savaged Felix.

And so he would continue to build his reputation for ruthlessness, with the best results in official fights for Outer Disciples.

Even with only three official fights so far, Vicente already had two fights in the top 10 fastest battles in the rankings!

He finished todayʼs challenge by knocking out his falling opponent with his second attack.

”In this match, disciple Vicente Fuller wins the challenge!”

With the refereeʼs announcement, most of the spectators continued to stare at Vicente in shock, not realizing that they had seen much less than they thought.

Vicenteʼs position in the rankings immediately changed, as he jumped 39 places to 838th!

ʼNext week a new month will start and Iʼll be able to fight for more matches.ʼ Vicente climbed down from the platform as the broadcasting equipment in the area stopped working.

ʼNow itʼs time for me to use my position to get a good deal with a sponsor. With the opportunity to make a lot of stone coins in front of me, Iʼll be able to finance the expansion of my faction!ʼ He thought with a smile on his face as he looked at one of the men waiting for him in front of the stage.

As Prisiche had said before, it was possible to make very lucrative deals if one showed potential in the ranks!

After his demonstration, some famous families and shops in Ravengarde had already sought him out. In particular, the man Vicente was looking at now represented the group he was close to making a deal with!
