284: Chapter 284 The Dark Horse of the Tianlan Star Region, Camis!

As soon as Silver Dragon City Lord said this,

The few people present couldn't help but shake their heads and smile, not saying much.

In their opinion, the Silver Dragon City Lord was most likely bragging!

Based on Li Fan's current ranking, Li Fan could indeed be considered a big dark horse.

But to say he would win the championship? That's out of the question.

How could winning the championship be so easy?

However, judging from the Silver Dragon City Lord's calm expression,

They didn't dare to be completely certain.

So, they decided to let things develop for a while.

For now, they would follow what the Silver Dragon City Lord said: have some wine and see what happens later.

...

Now, back to Li Fan.

Since the preliminary rounds, Li Fan had been noticed by a small portion of the Wushan Seat Public in the Tianlan Star Domain, and was even continuously praised. It wasn't until Li Fan didn't continue to match and participate in battles later, and his ranking kept falling, that the attention on him decreased.

Now, entering the second stage,

Li Fan once again displayed impressive strength.

This undoubtedly brought his attention back up.

And as Li Fan gradually climbed to over ninth thousand place, while also maintaining a continuous winning streak,

Li Fan's popularity also skyrocketed!

Currently,

On a large forum in the Tianlan Star Domain, Li Fan's battle footage had already been pinned and livestreamed.

And the title was quite eye-catching.

The Strongest Dark Horse of Tianlan Star Domain! After a thousand years, the Outer Domain Prodigies of Tianlan Star Domain might once again enter the top one thousand of the fourth stage!

That's right.

Li Fan had already been given high hopes by many of the Wushan Seat Public, considered a seeded Contestant who could enter the top one thousand of the fourth stage.

There was no other way; looking at the entire leaderboard, Li Fan's current ranking was the highest, and his momentum was also the strongest.

If not Li Fan, then who else could they place their high hopes on?

Of course, for such a high evaluation, there were naturally many voices of doubt.

However, most of these voices came from those who hadn't watched Li Fan's battle videos.

Anyone who had watched them basically had great confidence in Li Fan.

For example, those Wushan Seat Public who followed Li Fan's battles.

They had personally witnessed Li Fan instantly killing one terrifying opponent after another. Even when matched against opponents ranked much higher than Li Fan, he still killed them without fail, having not lost a single match along the way!

Li Fan's strength limit is currently nowhere to be seen!

For such a super dark horse, whether he can reach the final top one thousand is still uncertain, but they definitely have great expectations for him to reach the fourth stage.

...

In a flash,

Time came to the afternoon of the second day.

After a day and a night of fierce fighting,

The situation in the upper ranks of the leaderboard had basically stabilized.

However, in the top ten and top thirty queues, the competition remained extremely fierce.

Among the top ten, six were occupied by Outer Domain Prodigies.

Among the top thirty, half were also occupied by those Outer Domain Prodigies.

The Wushan Seat Public were clearly not very satisfied with this result.

The only thing that still brought them some comfort was that Jiang Yunxu still ranked first.

And soon,

As Peng Song and Luo Ling were successively squeezed out of the top ten by Outer Domain Prodigies,

Among the entire top ten, only Jiang Yunxu, who was first, and Duan Xuan, who was fourth, remained as local Wushan Seat Prodigies.

For a time,

The emotions of the Wushan Seat Public immediately erupted on the forum.

"No, what's going on? Peng Song and Luo Ling could actually lose a match?"

"It's over, now only Jiang Yunxu and Duan Xuan are left in the top ten!"

"Damn it, how could these two mess up at such a crucial moment?!"

"Damn it! Are our Wushan Seat Prodigies really inferior to these guys from the outer domains?"

"You can't say that. Isn't the current number one still our Wushan Seat's Jiang Yunxu? But I feel like there's a serious gap in strength among our Prodigies here. Besides Jiang Yunxu and Duan Xuan, no one else has shown particularly outstanding performance, sigh."

"Honestly, Peng Song is considered very strong, his strength is definitely not a problem. It's just that the Outer Domain Prodigy he faced was indeed a bit too strong!"

"Indeed, I watched Peng Song's match. Facing that person, Peng Song wasn't at a disadvantage in the first few hundred rounds, but later, Peng Song started to show fatigue, yet that person actually grew stronger the more he fought, which is outrageous! I feel like even against Jiang Yunxu, that person might not necessarily lose!"

...

While the Wushan Seat Public were fuming with disappointment and anger,

A piece of news instantly ignited the entire forum again.

The publisher of this news was an Outer Domain Prodigy who had just defeated Peng Song and kicked him out of the top ten not long ago today.

This person's name is Karmis, he specializes in Saber Techniques, and is currently ranked exactly tenth.

In the preliminary rounds, he didn't show his edge, only ranking after tens of thousands of others.

Now in the second stage, he truly displayed his strength.

And the message he posted was very simple.

It was a provocation.

A very simple and crude provocation!

"Aside from Jiang Yunxu and Duan Xuan, Wushan Seat is full of cowards, none of whom can fight, it's truly disappointing!"

This post was published for less than a minute, and already received billions of angry curses below it. The language was so vulgar and harsh that ordinary people couldn't bear it!

Of course, this Karmis was naturally no ordinary person.

The more he was cursed, the more excited he became.

Because this showed that he had indeed hit a raw nerve with the Wushan Seat Public!

The feeling of riding on the heads of an entire seat domain's populace truly gave him a great sense of accomplishment!

And next, he would continue to maintain this style of action.

Every time he defeated a top Wushan Seat Prodigy, he would post about it on the forum!

...

"How boring!"

On the Inheritance Competition virtual arena, after Karmis casually dealt with a low-ranked Wushan Seat Prodigy, he couldn't help but show an impatient expression.

This wasn't an act; he was genuinely bored.

Constantly crushing opponents, without even a single one who could exchange a few moves, was starting to make him miss Peng Song.

At least Peng Song could fight back and forth with him.

"If only I could meet Jiang Yunxu or Duan Xuan, those two should be able to have a satisfying battle with me."

Karmis couldn't help but murmur to himself.

He had watched their battle videos and highly acknowledged their strength. Although he wasn't confident he could defeat them, it would be much better than this current boredom.

Meanwhile, on the other side,

Karmis's impatient expression was clearly seen by the vast audience in the Beast Fighting Arena.

As the saying goes, being infamous is also a form of fame.

Ever since Karmis made his provocative remarks,

The number of viewers in his battle channel soared. Currently, it might not be first or second, but it was definitely in the top five!

If Karmis hadn't already blocked the audience,

Perhaps the sheer volume of curses alone would have deafened him!

"Damn it! What is he pretending about?"

"He's so damn pretentious! I can't watch this anymore!"

"I really want to kill this kid!"

"Can't someone deal with him? Is it possible that in our vast Wushan Seat, there's really no one who can handle him?"

"Of course there are, but with so many Contestants, the probability of him being matched with Jiang Yunxu or Duan Xuan is too low!"

"No, besides those two, isn't there anyone else?"

"Sorry, even Peng Song wasn't his opponent. I feel that besides Jiang Yunxu and Duan Xuan, no one is his opponent!"

"Damn it! I'm willing to sacrifice a thousand years of my friend Zhang Changshou's lifespan for him to be matched with Jiang Yunxu next!"

The audience was now furious, their faces red with anger as they cursed.

But despite their curses, they were all somewhat helpless, seeing no hope.

And just as the audience was in an uproar, praying that Karmis would draw Jiang Yunxu next,

Karmis had already started the next round of matching.

As a flash of light shimmered,

Karmis's opponent for this round slowly appeared before him.

This was a handsome young man, whose every gesture exuded an extraordinary and refined demeanor.

Next to the young man, a piece of information was displayed.

"Wushan Seat, Tianlan Star Domain, Li Fan, Wins: 659, Current Rank: 948!"
