116: Chapter 116 The Purple Clan, Zi Yuan's Vision!

"Prince Zi Yuan, the world truly is unpredictable. Before I entered seclusion, I heard of your genius brother's deeds, yet as soon as I emerged, I heard he was killed by a human."

"Oh, and I also heard that a Hall Master-level elder of your Zi Clan is gone too, apparently also killed by a human. Is this true or just a rumor?"

Among the Alien Race Prodigies, a handsome young man covered in silver scales looked at Zi Yuan, his tone carrying a hint of mockery.

As soon as those words were spoken,

The expressions of many prodigies around them stiffened, and they subconsciously held their breath.

In this place, he was likely the only one who dared to speak to Zi Yuan with such sarcasm.

As for why it was considered sarcasm,

It was because in the eyes of the alien races, being killed by a lowly creature like a human was a deeply humiliating matter.

And this man's provocation clearly caused a flicker of emotion in Zi Yuan.

"Yin Qi, do you believe I will tear your mouth apart?"

Zi Yuan tilted his head slightly to look at the silver-scaled youth, a cold glint flashing in his eyes.

In an instant, a murderous intent swept across the field.

One by one, the others were nearly breaking into a cold sweat.

"Fine, fine, I was just joking. Is that really necessary?"

"Humans have been established on Blue Star for a long time now; it's normal for them to have a few capable people."

The youth called Yin Qi froze for a moment, then immediately waved his hand and spoke with a smile.

However, while he smiled on the surface, he was actually quite nervous inside.

He felt that if he said a few more words, Zi Yuan might actually fight him to the death.

"It is indeed humiliating that Zi Ming and that elder of my family died at the hands of humans."

"But it is not the place of an outsider like you to butt in!"

"And the dignity they lost, my Zi Clan will naturally take it back!"

Zi Yuan gave Yin Qi no quarter despite his smile. After a cold snort, he gave Yin Qi a warning look.

Yin Qi was indignant but dared not speak out, only muttering to himself, "The Zi Clan really are a bunch of lunatics."

Back to Zi Yuan.

Zi Yuan stood with his arms crossed, gazing at the teleportation array within the distant complex. His cold expression was mixed with an intense fervor.

He had been in seclusion for a long time.

Both the fall of Zi Ming and the fall of the elder had occurred during his seclusion.

Before his seclusion, the Zi Clan's prestige among the Oceanic Alien Race was ranked among the top few.

But after emerging, their prestige was no longer what it used to be.

Although their foundation still barely ranked in the upper-middle tier, their reputation had collapsed.

If one went to the common areas, anyone with a mouth would be talking about how the old and young of the Zi Clan were taken out by humans as post-meal gossip.

So now,

He harbored an immense hatred for humans.

And the place they were heading to this time was where they would encounter human prodigies.

His goal this time was simple: collect one hundred heads of human prodigies and pile them in the center of the Zi Clan's sea territory for all passing sea races to see.

Although this wouldn't be enough to wash away all the disgrace,

It was only his first step!

The future Civilization Assessment would be the primary stage to clear the Zi Clan's name!

...

On the other side,

At the base,

After Li Fan received the news that the assessment would begin tomorrow, he stopped researching his cultivation techniques and instead made a call to Gu Ling and his family.

After all, the duration of this assessment was uncertain, and he didn't know when he would return.

To avoid them worrying due to a long period of silence, it was better to explain things in advance.

However, what gave Li Fan a headache was that

Gu Ling's phone connected instantly,

But his parents' phone simply wouldn't go through.

Thinking an accident might have happened, Li Fan even called Zhu Tianzheng to inquire.

Finally, very late at night, Li Fan received a call back from parents.

It turned out parents had played video games all night and were catching up on sleep, which truly left Li Fan caught between laughter and tears.

But fortunately, as long as parents were fine, it was okay.

He didn't want parents to live too exhaustingly.

Once he finished handling family matters,

Li Fan went back to the gravity room to train.

Currently, Li Fan's request for a five-thousand-fold gravity room had been accepted by the higher-ups, but setting it up would take some time.

So for now, Li Fan could only use the thousand-fold gravity room as a transition.

Perhaps by the time he returned from the assessment, the five-thousand-fold gravity room would be ready.

...

In the blink of an eye, the next morning arrived.

On a certain martial arts field at the base, a group of people was already lined up neatly, numbering roughly sixty or seventy.

Judging by their auras, every one of them was extraordinary, with the weakest having a Quasi-Saint level aura.

These were the personnel who needed to go for the assessment today.

"Li Fan hasn't arrived yet?"

At the front of the line, a man in a leather uniform held a name list and scanned the crowd.

As soon as he said this,

Many people present showed expressions as if they were waiting for a show.

They weren't familiar with Li Fan and hadn't even met him, but they all knew Li Fan was going with them.

Now that they were at the assembly point and Li Fan still hadn't shown up, this action would surely draw the man's reprimand.

The man's name was Lin Kui.

As a teacher known as the 'Tyrant' at the base for his terrible temper, very few people dared to be late in front of him.

"What's with Li Fan? Did he oversleep?"

"I don't know. I sent him a message as soon as I woke up, but he didn't reply."

"This is bad, he's going to get scolded."

In the queue, three familiar faces were whispering to each other.

These three were none other than Fang Qing, Wang Xing, and Tang Hua, who had participated in the Western Friendship Match with Li Fan.

That's right, they had also received the news about the assessment yesterday afternoon.

Compared to the others present, the three of them were the closest to Li Fan.

Just as everyone was preparing to watch the drama unfold,

Li Fan's figure came jogging over from one of the entrances to the martial arts field.

"Teacher, I'm sorry. I was cultivating for too long and almost forgot the time."

Li Fan rushed over and looked at Lin Kui in front of him with an apologetic smile.

Lin Kui merely looked Li Fan up and down, then nodded, signaling for him to join the line.

This scene

Truly made the onlookers' scalps tingle.

Good grief!

He didn't even get scolded?!

Even Bo Jun and the others, who were once called the strongest geniuses, had been scolded by Lin Kui many times.

But facing Li Fan, he actually chose to be forgiving. This was simply too abnormal, wasn't it?

For a moment,

Everyone couldn't help but wonder if Li Fan had some kind of special connections.

There was no time for them to think too much.

Lin Kui checked the time and then said,

"Time's up. As for the content of this assessment, let's talk about it after we board the plane."

With that,

Lin Kui raised his hand, and a teleportation array appeared beneath everyone's feet.

The next second,

When everyone opened their eyes again, they were already on a super-large aircraft.

Looking at the clouds receding rapidly outside the window, Li Fan couldn't help but be secretly shocked.

The speed of this plane seemed a bit too fast, didn't it?!

"Alright, let me tell you about the situation for this assessment."

At this moment, Lin Kui's voice rang out again.
