241: Chapter 241 A Sudden Increase in Strength, the Souls of the Forbidden Valley!

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

There was only one day left before the New Student Competition.

"Seven thousand eight hundred and three!"

"Seven thousand eight hundred and four!"

"Seven thousand eight hundred and five!"

...

Inside Confinement Valley.

Li Fan was currently exercising.

As the final set of exercises concluded.

Li Fan panted heavily and glanced at the time.

Only one day remained until the New Student Competition.

There was only one day left until he would be released.

On this final day, he didn't plan to continue exercising; he intended to properly consolidate his current state and think about what reason he could find to come back to Confinement Valley next time.

It couldn't be helped.

The more time he spent in this place, the more he liked it!

It was simply a place tailor-made for him!

He didn't know if it was just his imagination.

He even felt that this place made his cultivation progress much faster; it wasn't because of the density of cosmic primordial energy, but he couldn't quite put his finger on what it was.

During his break, Li Fan also opened his status panel.

"Name: Li Fan

Level: Star-Treading Level Eight (69.3%)

Strength: 247,789.8 (Stars)

Defense: 246,548.7 (Stars)

Spirit: 335,269.2 (Stars)"

Regarding his current stats.

Li Fan was clearly very satisfied.

In his current state, while utilizing the Frenzied Battle Prairie Art, his combat power was already comparable to the peak of the seventh stage of the Star Shattering Rank!

It could be said to be very exaggerated.

Being able to fight a seventh-stage Star Shattering Rank at the eighth stage of the Star-Treading Level meant he was almost crossing an entire major realm.

If this were to spread to the outside world, it would surely leave a large group of people with their jaws dropped.

As for entering the top ten of the New Student Competition.

Li Fan was now full of confidence!

Not even just the top ten.

Li Fan's sights were now set on the first-place position!

Although his goal was simply to enter the top ten, taking first place would surely bring more benefits.

He took a deep breath.

Li Fan stood up, preparing to head upward.

Since it was the last day and he didn't plan on training, there was naturally no need to stay under such high pressure.

However.

Just as Li Fan had taken a few steps.

A voice rang out, instantly causing his expression to change drastically and his hair to stand on end.

"Young man, wait!"

This voice was hoarse and old, and it carried a sense of void, as if it didn't belong to this world.

Li Fan suddenly turned around.

It was empty before him.

Only countless steps.

There wasn't a trace of anyone.

"Who is it?"

Li Fan's expression grew even more solemn, and he was already prepared to use the Annihilation Eye at any moment.

He didn't think he had misheard.

That voice definitely existed.

While he was training, someone had been secretly observing him; just the thought of it made him break into a cold sweat.

Soon, the voice rang out again.

"Little friend, do not be afraid, and do not be nervous. This old man is but a wisp of a spirit and cannot cause you any harm."

"Also, please do not appear too vigilant. There are other eyes watching this place; they cannot detect this old man, but they can see your movements."

"If you wish to communicate with me, you only need to use mental transmission."

The tone of the voice had become very friendly, appearing to harbor no ill intent.

Hearing this, Li Fan did not let down his guard.

However, he cooperated on the surface.

He wanted to see exactly what this voice wanted to do.

"Could you come out for a chat? What's the point of hiding in the shadows?"

Li Fan sent a mental transmission.

Immediately afterward, he received a response.

"Little friend, please turn around."

Li Fan suddenly turned his head.

He saw an old man with a mouthful of yellow teeth and white hair appear before him.

However, it was just a phantom image, with no physical form.

Li Fan was very surprised by this.

He hadn't expected it to actually be a spirit?!

And looking at the old man's appearance, it seemed he had been in this place for quite some time.

Seeing that the spirit had been polite to him the whole time.

Li Fan also became a bit more polite.

"I wonder what business Senior has? Is it that I have violated some rule of this place?" Li Fan asked slowly.

The Old Mans Spirit shook his head, a flicker of fervor erupting in his eyes.

"This wretched place has no rules."

"The reason I called out to you, little friend, is that I want you to take me away from here."

As soon as these words were spoken.

Li Fan frowned slightly, feeling a headache coming on.

Take this old man away?

Seeing that Li Fan didn't seem very willing, the old man immediately continued speaking.

"Little friend, this old man is not asking for your help for nothing."

"To tell you the truth, before I died, I hid a massive treasure within the sea of stars. If you agree to take me out, I am willing to give that treasure to you."

"Furthermore, if you can help me reconstruct a physical body and gain a new life, I am willing to sign a ten-billion-year servant contract with you. For these ten billion years, I will follow your every command!"

The old man's tone was very urgent and sincere.

After hearing this, Li Fan fell into hesitation.

Putting aside the question of authenticity.

He was certainly painting a nice picture.

After thinking it over carefully.

Li Fan decided to agree.

The reason was simple.

If it were fake, he would at most waste some time.

But if it were true, he would gain a treasure plus a servant of unknown but definitely not weak strength.

No matter how you looked at it.

Li Fan wouldn't lose out.

Besides.

He could also paint a picture for this old fellow.

He promised to reconstruct a body for him and bring him back to life.

But he didn't promise exactly when he would do it.

Maybe in a few years, maybe after he became invincible in the universe.

As for the old fellow finding out he was just making empty promises, it didn't matter.

After all, he was just a wisp of a spirit.

What could he possibly do to him?

He was taking a gamble now, betting that what the old fellow said was true. If he won, it would be a huge gain; if he lost, he wouldn't be out anything, and he'd simply have one more chance to seek a great opportunity.

"Alright then. But Senior, how should I take you out?"

Li Fan responded at this time.

Seeing that Li Fan had agreed.

The Old Mans Spirit immediately became excited.

"Thank you, little friend!"

"There's no need to worry about that. You just need to grab a handful of sand from this planet and put it into your storage space; I can attach myself to the sand."

Hearing this, Li Fan couldn't help but twitch the corner of his mouth.

What a simple and unadorned method.

Attaching to sand?

However, Li Fan quickly accepted this method.

He grabbed a handful of sand at random and put it into his space ring.

At the same time.

Li Fan also asked another question.

"Senior, you said someone else is watching me? Who is that person?"

Li Fan had heard the Old Mans Spirit mention this from the start.

The Old Mans Spirit didn't hide anything and waved his hand, saying.

"It's no one important, just a Marquis-level Immortal."
