208: Chapter 208 I'm being chased, heading to the Taiyuan Star Region!

Time flew by.

More than ten days had passed in a flash.

Only one day remained until the agreed time with the City Lord of Silver Dragon City.

Inside the gravity chamber of the Dark Star,

Li Fan was still training frantically.

"Seven thousand six hundred and six!"

"Seven thousand six hundred and seven!"

"Seven thousand six hundred and eight!"

...

After over ten days of frantic training, his stats had seen another slight increase.

Converted into combat power, his current stats, combined with the Frenzied Battle Prairie Art, should allow him to fight against some newly initiated Star Shattering Rank Tier Three experts.

Of course, it would only be a fight.

Defeating them would certainly be unlikely.

The higher the rank, the greater the gap between each tier, and the more difficult it became to fight across ranks.

At the level of Star Shattering Rank, even crossing one tier to fight already qualified someone as a top-tier expert.

If he wanted to become even stronger and maintain his terrifying ability to fight across ranks, he still needed to continue striving to raise his stats.

After finishing the last set of exercises,

Li Fan slowly walked out of the Dark Star.

Next, he could have considered using energy stones to try and break through to Star-Treading Level Tier Six.

However, considering that he had to gather and depart for Huangchen Academy tomorrow, he could only put that plan aside for now.

"Jia Yan has been gone for so long and hasn't returned."

"It seems he doesn't plan on coming back."

As the departure time neared, Li Fan thought of Jia Yan.

Ever since Jia Yan mentioned needing to leave for a while and that it would take some time before he returned, there had been no news from him.

After thinking about it, Li Fan guessed that Jia Yan had already left Silver Dragon Central City long ago.

Li Fan was actually not surprised by this.

Jia Yan had been constrained by the Black Abyss Star Pirate Group for too long; having finally regained his freedom, it was unlikely he would stick around serving someone.

The reason he had inexplicably flattered him before was probably just to gain some benefits from him.

Seeing that he didn't gain any benefits, the three minutes of flattery had also run out.

Immediately after,

Li Fan sent a message to Jia Yan in the virtual network, briefly explaining his situation and informing Jia Yan that he was leaving Silver Dragon Central City.

Although Jia Yan might have stuck close to him for certain motives,

Jia Yan had helped him quite a bit during this period and had never harbored ill intentions, so he could be considered a half-friend.

If Jia Yan hadn't left but truly had unfinished business, it wouldn't have been good if he returned to Central City looking for him only to find he had left without a word.

However,

Just as Li Fan finished sending the message,

He received a reply from Jia Yan.

"Brother Fan? You're coming to the Taiyuan Star Field? What a coincidence! I'm also in the Taiyuan Star Field!"

"Since that's the case, I don't need to run back to Silver Dragon Central City to find you."

"Never mind for now, Brother Fan! Things here are a bit urgent; I'm currently being hunted. I'll chat properly about our meeting once I'm safe."

All these messages were transmitted in voice format.

It truly left Li Fan completely bewildered.

There was no other way; the amount of information sounded too overwhelming.

How did Jia Yan inexplicably run off to the Taiyuan Star Field?

And he was being hunted?

While being hunted, he still had the leisure to reply to his message?

Li Fan was stunned for a full few breaths before recovering.

It seemed Jia Yan hadn't run away; he had genuinely run into trouble.

If they were closer, it would have been fine for him to step in and help, but unfortunately, they were too far apart, so all he could do was pray that Jia Yan could survive.

...

Time jumped to the next day.

Li Fan packed his things early in the morning and headed towards the City Lord's Mansion square.

Walking on the street,

There were still quite a few discussions on the road regarding his duel with Lan Feng.

Now, the rumors about him were becoming increasingly outrageous.

Some people were even spreading that he was a woman and the mistress of some major figure in the Central City.

It was simply the height of absurdity!

However, Li Fan didn't care about this.

After all, such idle gossip couldn't cause any real impact on him.

Moreover, he was about to leave Central City.

At the City Lord's Mansion square,

A massive S-class spaceship was currently docked, attracting the attention of many people.

However, an isolation zone had been set up outside the square, so the crowd could only watch from afar.

Li Fan pushed through the crowd and saw the Silver Dragon City Lord under the spaceship from a distance.

The Silver Dragon City Lord was talking with a Middle-aged Man who had a subtly effeminate demeanor, his face full of smiles.

Not far from the two stood several youths whose expressions were slightly tense.

Arriving at the isolation zone,

The Silver Dragon City Lord noticed Li Fan immediately and signaled him with his eyes. Li Fan then passed through the isolation zone and headed toward the spaceship.

"Hey! You're that Frenzied Warrior?"

Just as Li Fan took a few steps, a voice came from behind him.

Turning back,

It was a dark-skinned, robust youth clad in tight red armor, with two long swords strapped to his back.

At first glance, he gave off an honest and simple impression.

Seeing that this youth had passed through the isolation zone with Li Fan, he should also be heading to Huangchen Academy to be a Sparring Partner, just like Li Fan.

"Mm."

"You are?"

Li Fan looked at the youth and frowned slightly.

Hearing Li Fan's reply,

The youth showed surprise, then scratched his head and gave Li Fan an honest smile,

"I didn't expect you to really be the Frenzied Warrior!"

"My name is Peng Song, I'm from the Sword Order Star System. I arrived in Central City half a month ago. I watched your duel with that Lan Feng; it was incredible!"

"Of course, although I'm still much stronger than you, if I were still at Star-Treading Level Tier Six, I definitely wouldn't be your opponent!"

Listening to the youth, Li Fan suddenly didn't know how to respond.

He couldn't figure out what this person named Peng Song was trying to express.

Was he expressing admiration or trying to provoke?

So Li Fan just gave him a polite look, then continued towards the Silver Dragon City Lord.

The arrival of Li Fan and Peng Song immediately drew the attention of the few youths standing not far ahead.

They understood that the two would also be their companions.

So, the next thing they did was introduce themselves to each other, hoping to get acquainted first.

After a brief exchange, they discovered that they were all from the Tianlan Star Domain, although their star systems were different.

For this trip to the Taiyuan Star Field, they were considered fellow provincials.

...

Soon,

As time passed,

Several more men and women around Li Fan's age arrived one after another.

When all ten were gathered,

The Silver Dragon City Lord and Cang Hai finally finished their conversation.

"We'll probably meet again after the Inheritance Competition."

"No matter, meeting on the virtual network is the same. Take care on your journey."

After saying their goodbyes, they parted ways.

Then, Cang Hai turned to look at Li Fan and the others behind him and said lightly,

"Let's go, board the ship, it's time to depart!"
