283: Chapter 283 Everyone's Going All Out!

"Greetings, Dean Liusha!"

"Greetings, Dean Liusha!"

Seeing Dean Liusha arrive, Li Fan and Peng Song quickly bowed deeply to him.

However, Dean Liusha was full of smiles, signaling for the two not to be so formal.

"Tomorrow is the second stage of the Inheritance Competition. What are your plans?"

Dean Liusha spoke at this moment, looking at the two.

As for this question.

Peng Song did not hesitate at all and stated directly, "I plan to continue pushing for first place!"

Dean Liusha smiled and nodded at him, then turned his gaze to Li Fan beside him.

Li Fan also concealed nothing and truthfully stated his thoughts,

"Although the second stage is more difficult than the preliminary round, it's still manageable. My idea is just to secure stable advancement. As for fighting for first place, I plan to save that for the offline competition later."

As soon as these words came out.

Dean Liusha also nodded, but immediately after, Dean Liusha spoke up,

"Your idea is good, but I actually suggest you fight for first place."

"The reason is very simple. Once we reach the second stage, the people from Cosmic Cloud Company will start paying attention, and at the same time, many people from other top companies will also send people to watch."

"This is a great opportunity to showcase yourselves in front of the cosmic powerhouses!"

"Although the Academy can provide you with a good environment, compared to a behemoth like Cosmic Cloud Company, it's far behind."

"If you have the chance to be noticed by a behemoth like Cosmic Cloud Company, the Academy strongly encourages you to go."

Hearing Dean Liusha say this.

Li Fan couldn't help but feel slightly surprised.

He hadn't expected Dean Liusha to say such things.

He was actually encouraging him to aim for a top-tier company like Cosmic Cloud Company.

Logically speaking, shouldn't the Academy try its hardest to keep a genius like him?

However, looking at it objectively, what Dean Liusha said was not wrong.

Huangchen Academy was indeed a top academy in Wushan Seat, but compared to a giant company like Cosmic Cloud Company, there was no comparison.

If there was truly a chance to enter Cosmic Cloud Company, it would indeed be an excellent opportunity.

Thus, after some brief contemplation.

Li Fan's gaze also became firm.

"Dean Liusha, I know what I need to do."

That's right.

He would fight for first place!

Not just first place in the second stage!

Since he had started fighting for first place, he would aim for first in the subsequent third and fourth stages as well!

Hearing Li Fan's reply, Dean Liusha couldn't help but nod in satisfaction.

"Keep it up, I'll wait for your good news."

"But also, don't be careless. Among those Outer Domain Contestants, many have also hidden their strength, and their combat power should not be underestimated."

After reminding the two, Dean Liusha vanished from the spot and left directly.

...

In the blink of an eye.

Time arrived on the first day of the competition's second stage.

Currently, many Contestants were starting their matches right at the scheduled time.

This truly made Li Fan's mouth twitch.

He had only spent a little over an hour accompanying Gu Ling.

When he opened the leaderboard, the first place had already accumulated nearly ninety wins—it was simply insane!

That timing was too precise?!

Moreover, his strength was indeed outrageous, almost always winning with an absolute crushing speed kill.

And the person in first place on the leaderboard was none other than Li Fan's old acquaintance.

Jiang Yunxu!

That's right, it was Jiang Yunxu!

Besides Jiang Yunxu, there were quite a few familiar faces mixed in the top twenty, such as Duan Xuan, Peng Song, Fang Tong, Luo Ling, and others.

Clearly.

It seemed they were now holding the same idea as Li Fan: to fight for first place!

And it wasn't just them.

Many prodigies from the Outer Domains who hid their strength in the first round now seemed to have stopped hiding.

Furthermore, their strength was indeed as Dean Liusha had said—not to be underestimated!

Currently, among the top ten, apart from Jiang Yunxu and the trio of Duan Xuan and Peng Song, all the rest were Outer Domain Prodigies!

The Outer Domain Prodigy who won first place in the first round preliminary competition was currently ranked only fifteenth!

It was obvious.

In this second stage, everyone had gotten serious.

Immediately after, Li Fan, taking advantage of the relatively small gap for now, also immediately started matching for a battle.

And Li Fan continued to use the method with the fastest kill efficiency: mental attacks!

He annihilated his opponent almost the instant he saw them.

How fast Li Fan's winning streak could be depended entirely on how fast the matching speed was!

...

Meanwhile, on the other side.

The Wushan Seat forum was currently in an uproar.

"Brilliant! First place is our Wushan Seat's Jiang Yunxu!"

"Jiang Yunxu is awesome! I said long ago he was a favorite to win; he just wasn't exerting himself in the first round!"

"Not only Jiang Yunxu didn't exert himself, but Duan Xuan and the others also hadn't been going all out before!"

"That's right, now more and more geniuses from our Wushan Seat are emerging!"

"I take back my previous sarcastic remarks about our Wushan Seat's geniuses. Jiang Yunxu is awesome! Duan Xuan is awesome!"

"Hold on, why be so quick to take it back? Haven't you seen that most of the top ten are still Outer Domain Prodigies?"

"Indeed, there are only three from our Seat Domain in the top ten, and their win counts are very tight; they could be surpassed at any moment!"

"Go away! How can you turn your elbow outwards? As long as the person in first place is from our Seat Domain, then it's awesome, no matter how many Outer Domain people are in the top ten!"

"Exactly! Besides, this is only the first day, why the rush? Who knows, maybe other geniuses from our Seat Domain will charge up!"

...

It could be seen.

With Jiang Yunxu and the others exerting themselves.

The public opinion atmosphere on the forum had clearly undergone a one-hundred-and-eighty-degree reversal.

Now, the Wushan Seat Public had reignited their hope for the geniuses of Wushan Seat.

And in Silver Dragon Central City at this time.

The Silver Dragon City Lord had gathered a group of friends to watch the matches together.

Looking around, they were all Domain Lord level existences.

"No, Silver Dragon, you said our Tianlan Star Domain produced a dark horse with the potential to win the championship. Where is he? On the leaderboard, I only see a Li Fan ranked over ten thousand. Is the dark horse you mentioned him?"

One Domain Lord couldn't help but ask, looking at the Silver Dragon City Lord.

The Silver Dragon City Lord did not deny it and said, "Indeed, it is him!"

However, when he said this, it caused his friends to show strange expressions.

"Reaching over ten thousand is indeed a dark horse, but you say he has the potential to win the championship? Isn't that still worlds away?"

"Exactly, Silver Dragon. To fight for the championship, he needs to at least break into the top thirty first. Where is he now?"

Clearly.

His friends felt that the Silver Dragon City Lord was exaggerating.

The Silver Dragon City Lord, however, was extremely calm regarding these doubts, a smile on his face.

"Don't rush. We haven't seen each other in a long time; let's first drink and chat for a while."

"Perhaps after we drink for a while and then open the leaderboard again, there will be a surprise!"
