257: Chapter 257 Beast King's Mount! Divine Illusionist?!

And this shout from Fang Tong.

It happened to be heard by Li Fan.

However, due to the overwhelming noise of the beast tide behind him, he could only faintly hear Fang Tong's voice and couldn't make out what Fang Tong was specifically saying.

But from the expression on Fang Tong's face, Li Fan could already roughly guess.

Fang Tong was trying to mess with his head.

In response, Li Fan didn't reply immediately, only revealing a wicked smile at the corner of his mouth.

He was somewhat surprised.

This squad from the Golden Shelter was actually the team Fang Tong was in!

Originally, he didn't want to waste time, planning to do as before—control the beast tide to directly scare the people inside out and get them eliminated.

But since it was Fang Tong...

Then he wouldn't mind leaving a deep impression on this Fang Tong!

"Li Fan is done for!"

"Definitely done for, but to be fair, his luck is something else. Just stepping out and he runs into a beast tide. I'm starting to suspect it's not rigged, haha!"

"In my opinion, the arrival of this beast tide makes it even more likely to be rigged! Under normal circumstances, if Li Fan hadn't come out, this beast tide should have been aimed at eliminating Duan Xuan and the others!"

"I think so too! The problem now is, the person behind the rigging probably didn't expect Li Fan to be so arrogantly self-important, actually choosing to run out!"

"Even without this beast tide, Li Fan would be no match for Duan Xuan and would still be eliminated. The beast tide just sped up the process!"

"Hahaha, they gave you the rigged setup, but you're just not up to it!"

In the live stream room.

Everyone had already announced the outcome of Li Fan's current predicament in advance.

Li Fan was bound to be eliminated!

Sharing the same thoughts as the live stream audience were none other than Peng Song and the others.

The four of them had already shouted for Li Fan with all their might.

But Li Fan showed no sign of intending to turn back.

At this critical moment, even if they wanted to go assist Li Fan, it was already far too late. The beast tide behind them had closed in nearby in the blink of an eye and would engulf them in an instant.

"Damn it!"

Peng Song returned to the shelter platform, pounding the ground fiercely, his eyes filled with regret.

He had originally planned to charge into the top ten together with Li Fan.

Yet now, Li Fan was about to fall here.

Beside him, Luo Ling and the other two were momentarily at a loss for words, only able to watch helplessly as Li Fan was about to be swallowed by the beast tide.

Now, back to Li Fan's side.

Just as everyone thought Li Fan would be engulfed and eliminated by this beast tide.

Li Fan suddenly stopped in his tracks, turned his gaze back toward the ferocious beast tide, his expression utterly calm.

Such a scene.

Truly stunned everyone present.

"Has he given up?"

For a moment, that thought popped into everyone's minds.

Obviously.

This idea was very reasonable.

Knowing survival was impossible, giving up was the best choice.

"He's giving up just like that?!"

In the distance, Fang Tong, who had already returned to the shelter, now wore a look of mockery on his face, his tone somewhat dissatisfied.

He had been looking forward to seeing the pained expression on Li Fan's face when the beast tide engulfed him.

But Li Fan directly chose to give up.

That was really a bit of a letdown.

But it didn't matter much.

Being able to see Li Fan eliminated right before his eyes was already a pleasure.

But soon.

The next scene made his face drastically change.

They saw Li Fan now leap up, charging head-on toward the direction of the beast tide.

"Is he trying to get eliminated faster?"

Beside him, Duan Xuan frowned, somewhat unable to understand Li Fan's actions.

And it wasn't just him who didn't understand.

The Sparring Partners in the live stream, the Senior Students, and the already eliminated Students also didn't understand.

Was Li Fan No being eliminated too slowly?

And immediately after.

Under everyone's watchful eyes.

From within the beast tide, a massive, tower-like crimson figure suddenly charged out, leaping toward Li Fan.

It was nothing else.

It was a Beast King!

And precisely the Beast King leading this terrifying beast tide!

This crimson Beast King leaped right in front of Li Fan, then crouched down.

Li Fan didn't hesitate in the slightest, leaping onto the Beast King's back.

"ROAR!!!"

Accompanied by a heaven-shaking beast roar.

The Beast King summoned the surging beast tide and charged fiercely toward the shelter of Duan Xuan and Fang Tong.

And Li Fan stood on the Beast King's back, hands behind his back, advancing along with the Beast King and the beast tide army.

"What?!"

Watching this scene.

Fang Tong's pupils contracted, his face visibly paling at a rapid pace.

Beside him, Duan Xuan was also unable to remain calm, his gaze fixed intently on Li Fan, his face full of disbelief.

How could this Beast King submit to Li Fan?!

What kind of ghost story was this?!

And those who felt even more disbelief.

Were none other than the viewers in the live stream.

"Huh???"

"No way, this... how is it possible?!"

"I... am I seeing this right? He's riding a Beast King!"

"Hiss!!"

"Is this my hallucination? What on earth is Li Fan doing?!"

"Something's off! This Beast King is off!"

"How could this Beast King be so friendly toward Li Fan? Is this the rigging? The beast tide was actually following Li Fan's orders all along!"

"Well, I have a bold guess, but even I find it hard to believe. Could this Li Fan be a Divine Illusionist?!"

"If he's a Divine Illusionist, that would indeed explain it."

"A Divine Illusionist? Impossible! Li Fan excels in physical prowess, how could he be a Divine Illusionist?

And even if he were, for Li Fan at his age to be able to control a Starry Sky Giant Beast at the Star Shattering Rank seventh or eighth stage, isn't that a bit too outrageous?!"
