Meanwhile, the North District candidates behind Ryan were filled with pride.
They had already known how powerful Ryan was, but witnessing such a scene again still made their hearts burn with excitement.
This was their legend.
Their idol.
The mythical figure of the North District.
On the other side, Ma Long frowned slightly.
Seeing Shanhua die so easily forced him to reevaluate the situation.
He began quietly measuring Ryan's strength in his mind.
Judging from the attack that had just been displayed, Ma Long realized something troubling.
Even he might not be able to defeat this North District candidate easily.
That beam attack was simply too terrifying.
However…
Giving up the Rank 5 monster crystal now would be extremely difficult for him to accept.
First, the crystal itself was incredibly valuable.
Second, losing to a North District candidate was something Ma Long found hard to tolerate.
After all, the North District was widely considered the weakest region.
