132: Chapter 132 Preparing to Return to the Northern Emperor, Li Fan's Parents!

At this moment, on a beach in a corner of Daxia.

Lin Kui and a group of instructors watched the continuously churning sea surface and immediately stood up in unison.

"Form the array! They're coming out!"

With a loud shout, Lin Kui immediately led the instructors in parting the seawater.

The next second.

As the seawater was divided, that long seabed path leading to the ancient structure reappeared before them.

Looking at the swirling vortexes on the structure, Lin Kui and the others felt quite apprehensive.

They didn't know how many would return alive this time, or how many slots would be obtained.

Not long after.

With the appearance of Li Fan, Zhao Ran, and the others.

The results gradually became clear.

Looking at the figures of the returning group, the expressions of Lin Kui and the others were not very good.

Because the casualties were actually not few; compared to before they left, a full nine were missing.

This already exceeded the average level.

So the only thing they could hope for now was that a few more slots had been obtained.

"Instructor Lin Kui."

"Instructor Lin Kui."

...

Back on the beach, the students began greeting Lin Kui one after another, wanting to report on the situation inside the secret realm.

However, Lin Kui just nodded and looked towards the plane not far away,

"We'll talk on the way."

As the plane left the beach and moved away from the ocean.

Lin Kui slowly learned about the situation inside the secret realm from Zhao Ran and the others.

"What? There were so many Saint-level ferocious beasts in this secret realm?"

"What? All ten slots this time were taken by our side?!"

"Li Fan was first, and he even killed a Saint-level Alien Race Prodigy?"

"The treasure orbs were even given to you by Li Fan?"

...

Listening to each piece of news.

Lin Kui's expression was incredibly vivid, full of nothing but shock.

Every single thing was completely beyond his expectations.

So the reason the casualty rate was so high was because there were so many Saint-level ferocious beasts inside?!

There were only a mere ten slots this time?

Yet all ten were actually seized by their human side!

This was an unprecedented achievement!

Of course.

What shocked and astonished him even more was Li Fan.

When arranging for Li Fan to go, the higher-ups actually didn't have high expectations for Li Fan's chances of obtaining a slot; they just wanted Li Fan to gain more experience and adapt to the intensity of the slot secret realm.

The higher-ups mainly had high hopes for Zhao Ran, Hei Da, and those other Senior Students.

But he never expected that Li Fan would obtain heaven-defying opportunities inside, leading to his strength advancing by leaps and bounds. Now, despite only being at the peak Transcendent realm, he possessed battle power capable of killing mid-grade Saint-level opponents!

Such a monstrous talent was simply unheard of!

Furthermore, from the accounts of Zhao Ran and the others, the reason their human side managed to turn danger into safety and achieve such great results this time was completely inseparable from Li Fan's contributions.

Regarding this, he, who was usually strict, did not hold back in his praise and admiration for Li Fan.

Of course.

Amidst the shock, Lin Kui couldn't help but feel a sense of lingering fear in his heart.

Previously, they had estimated that the inside should mainly consist of Quasi-Saint level ferocious beasts and hadn't anticipated there would be so many Saint-level ones. Otherwise, they wouldn't have let Fang Qing and Li Fan enter.

This time, it was only because Li Fan performed miraculously.

What if Li Fan hadn't obtained great opportunities inside?

The outcome of everything would likely have been completely different.

But fortunately.

Such a tragedy did not occur.

And there was no need for excessive hindsight.

Soon after.

Zhao Ran and the others handed over the suicide notes Tang Hua had collected earlier to Lin Kui.

After examining them, Lin Kui was truly filled with emotion, his expression unusually solemn.

After a long while, Lin Kui immediately decided to later show the contents of these letters to the seeds back at the base.

He would then hold a lecture on this topic to properly motivate and inspire all the seeds.

...

Meanwhile, deep in the ocean abyss at this time.

Just like Lin Kui and the others.

The elders of the Zi Clan, the Silver Clan, and the other Oceanic Alien Races were also welcoming the return of their own prodigies.

At first, the elders of the two strongest clans, the Zi Clan and the Silver Clan, were engaged in a war of words, betting on whose prodigy would obtain a slot in first place.

But as the Alien Race Prodigies from inside slowly emerged.

They still didn't see their own Zi Yuan or Yin Qi.

The most outrageous thing was that none of these emerging Alien Race Prodigies had obtained a slot.

Seeing this, the elders from both sides couldn't help but start thinking the worst.

Finally, when the last Alien Race Prodigy emerged, and there was still no sign of Zi Yuan or Yin Qi, and still no Alien Race Prodigy had obtained a slot, they finally confirmed their worst fears.

This time, their younger generation had suffered a major defeat!

Not only did they fail to obtain any slots, but they also lost several Saint-level prodigies!

"No! This is impossible!"

"My young master Zi Yuan's strength should have swept through all opponents in that secret realm. He couldn't have just perished like this!"

"Who was it? Who exactly killed my young master Yin Qi!"

...

For a moment.

Terrifying roars shook the surrounding hundred miles.

...

In the blink of an eye.

Two days had already passed.

Li Fan and the others finally returned to the base.

They were greeted by a group of Senior Students and several higher-ups.

The news of Li Fan and the others' great victory had long since spread among the Senior Student circles.

Now, Li Fan's formidable reputation was thoroughly established.

Some even went so far as to rank Li Fan alongside those most formidable seeds like Bo Jun.

After a brief celebration, Li Fan went to find Di Yun, Luo Chen, and Lin Youwei.

They didn't yet know what Li Fan had accomplished.

They only knew that Li Fan had successfully completed the assessment and returned.

During these past days.

Di Yun, Luo Chen, and the other seeds who came to the base in the same batch as Li Fan hadn't been idle either; they had all focused on cultivation, and now each looked much stronger than before.

After catching up with these friends, Li Fan returned to his dormitory and took a satisfying hot shower.

After cultivating and rushing about in that secret realm for so many days, he could finally relax wholeheartedly.

After dozing off slightly on the sofa, Li Fan dialed Gu Ling's number.

After chatting with Gu Ling for a while, Li Fan's mood immediately improved considerably.

Hearing Gu Ling talk about some interesting things from her daily life.

Li Fan couldn't help but feel a bit nostalgic for the days of barbecuing and chatting in the courtyard with Lu Qilai, Ning Zhenzhen, and the others.

In this base, apart from cultivation, it was just more cultivation.

Although his strength had indeed advanced by leaps and bounds, it was truly monotonous.

Remembering the base's two-day monthly holiday, Li Fan immediately decided to return to Beidi for a trip.

After all, he had already obtained a slot, and that 5,000x gravity chamber still had a few days before completion.

Going back for a few days wouldn't cause any delay.

"Brother Fan, you're returning to Beidi tomorrow? Really?"

"Of course it's true. When have I ever lied to you?"

"Great! I'll tell Zhen Zhen and the others right away. They've missed you so much while you were gone!"

Upon receiving the news, Gu Ling was truly overjoyed.

...

In a corner of Daxia.

A man and a woman were riding a private plane, heading in the direction of Hang City.

"Have you heard? Little Fan obtained great opportunities in the secret realm. He can now kill mid-grade Saint-level opponents. Killing Saint-level while at the Transcendent realm... at our peak in our youth, we probably could only manage that at most, right?"

"Hahaha, Little Fan is much stronger than we were. Weren't you the one most opposed to Little Fan joining the seed program? Do you still object now?

With Little Fan's terrifying growth speed, he might truly be able to turn the tide during the Civilization Assessment!"

"Back then, I opposed Little Fan joining the seed program because I felt it was unfair, wasn't it?

We discovered the Oceanic Alien Race, discovered the primary Civilization Assessment earlier, went deep into the ocean multiple times to scout the enemy, killed a bunch of Hall Master-level aliens, and handled a pile of messy affairs for the leadership.

In the future, we'll still have to step up to face the primary Civilization Assessment. We've already done enough; there was no need to involve our son and make Little Fan bear these burdens too.

But thinking about it now, with great power comes great responsibility. Since Little Fan has this ability, he cannot escape this responsibility. When the nest is overturned, no egg remains intact."

These two were none other.

than Li Fan's parents.

Listening to his wife Huang Lan's words, Li Fan's father, Li Daguo, couldn't help but nod, but then a trace of gravity appeared on his face,

"It's a pity. That Civilization Assessment is pressing down too tightly, leaving too little time for Little Fan to grow."

"The original 300-plus days, for some reason yesterday, suddenly changed to sixty-one days."

"If we fail when the time comes, these sixty-one days will probably be humanity's last moments of happiness."

Huang Lan nodded, then took out a photo of Li Fan from his childhood from her bosom, gently stroking it.

"No matter the outcome after these sixty-one days, I want to see Little Fan start a family before then."

"And after hiding it for so many years, it's about time we told Little Fan our true identities."
