Feng Fan was momentarily stunned upon hearing the conversation.
'Who the hell is this Anus Annihilator?' he thought, stifling a chuckle. 'What kind of absurd nickname is that?'
Shaking his head, he continued walking until he reached a referee stationed near the arena.
"Excuse me," he said with a polite smile, "I'm at the 9th Qi Gathering realm, but I'd like to challenge a 1st Foundation Establishment cultivator. Is that allowed here?"
The referee raised an eyebrow, looking at him as if he'd lost his mind. "You can… but why would you want to play the punching bag, kid?"
Feng Fan's smile widened, but he didn't offer an explanation.
Noticing that the young man wasn't in the mood to explain, the referee didn't press the matter further.
"Tell me your name and press your hand on the orb. I'll call you when it's your turn to fight."
"Feng Fan," he replied, then followed the instructions, pressing his hand on the orb.
