295: Chapter 295 The Secret Realm of the Starry Sky: Opportunities Everywhere!

In the blink of an eye,

half a month had already passed since the end of the second stage of the Inheritance Competition.

On the Bizarre Planet.

Li Fan was constantly training; although his realm was still at the peak of the first-rank Star Crusher level, the aura he exuded was a notch stronger than it had been half a month ago.

Over the past half month,

Li Fan had not continued practicing the Calming Chaos Art; instead, he had devoted himself entirely to training.

The reason was simple.

The Calming Chaos Art was truly quite difficult.

It would likely be impossible to grasp even a single move or technique without several months of effort.

So, rather than spending so much energy studying it, it was better to engage in frenzied training to raise his various stats.

Furthermore, he already had a stronger control over his Mental Energy thanks to the Calming Chaos Art.

Therefore, as long as his Mental Energy value was high enough, relying solely on his control and raw stats would be sufficient to make his combat power as a Divine Illusionist skyrocket.

And if he wanted to increase his Mental Energy value, he just needed to train!

Under the amplification of the Bizarre Planet,

the increase in his Mental Energy value could be described as adding wings to a tiger!

"Today should be the day they announce the schedule for the third stage."

After finishing a set of exercises, Li Fan looked at the date and muttered softly to himself.

Following past conventions, today was the day the third stage would be announced.

Li Fan was very interested in the content of the third stage's schedule.

Li Fan then exited the Bizarre Planet and logged onto the virtual network.

He opened the official website for the Cosmic Cloud Company Inheritance Competition.

Just as Li Fan expected, the schedule for the third stage had already been released.

According to the introduction in the announcement,

the third stage of this year's competition would take place in a massive Starry Sky Secret Realm.

If it were just an ordinary Starry Sky Secret Realm, there wouldn't be much to look forward to.

The key was that it was a secret realm personally created by the Cosmic Cloud Company Headquarters!

The emphasis was on the word 'Headquarters'!

Based on past experience,

anything produced by the Headquarters was bound to be high quality!

It would definitely contain rare treasures beyond their imagination!

Of course,

the dangers would also certainly far exceed those of ordinary Starry Sky Secret Realms.

However, the more dangerous the secret realm, the more exciting the competition would be for the audience!

Besides the introduction of the venue, the announcement also described the competition format.

The format was simple.

At that time, one hundred thousand participants would be randomly teleported to various corners of this Starry Sky Secret Realm.

Participants would be ranked based on the value of the opportunities and treasures they obtained; however, these rankings would not be displayed in real-time, but only on the final day of the competition.

In other words,

in the third stage of the competition, participants had to constantly acquire opportunities and treasures to ensure they remained in the top ten thousand when the rankings were released on the last day.

The methods for obtaining these treasures were very flexible.

One could find them personally, snatch them from others, or even have friends gift them if they had the ability; in short, any method was acceptable as long as one obtained the treasures, offering a very high degree of freedom!

"Interesting."

After reading the announcement, Li Fan couldn't help but nod, a hint of anticipation appearing in his eyes.

He was very satisfied with both the venue and the content of the competition.

For him,

it was no different from being on Blue Star—just going into a secret realm to score some free opportunities, and the quality of the opportunities here should be quite good.

If he was lucky,

he might even successfully break through to the second-rank Star Crusher level within this secret realm!

Just as Li Fan was about to close the website and return to his training,

a new announcement was posted.

[There are numerous opportunities in this secret realm; the two most valuable ones are announced in advance. They are:

1. Crimson Lotus Calamity Flame seedling (One of the Ten Great Universe Divine Flames; can be refined and traded)

2. space bodhi seed (After being crushed, it grants a brief ability to perfectly merge into the Void space, masking all presence; it can be used for stealthy assassinations or escapes.)]

Looking at this announcement,

Li Fan's expression suddenly changed, and his gaze became fervent.

These two opportunities... seem quite good!

He didn't know much about the Crimson Lotus Calamity Flame.

But the title of being one of the Ten Great Universe Divine Flames was enough for him to take it extremely seriously.

How could something that made it onto a universal ranking be bad?

And of course,

compared to the Crimson Lotus Calamity Flame, the space bodhi seed was clearly more attractive to Li Fan.

Currently, he possessed the Annihilation Eye, but he was somewhat restricted by the intimidation of the powerhouses in the universe and didn't dare use it freely.

But if he had this space bodhi seed,

wouldn't he have a period of time where he could use the Annihilation Eye without restraint?

That wouldn't just be an escape; it would be a direct counter-kill!

His future path was still very long, and it was inevitable that he would encounter powerful enemies and unpredictable dangers; having a space bodhi seed prepared would truly be a massive safeguard!

For a moment,

Li Fan had already made up his mind.

Setting aside other opportunities for now,

he was determined to obtain these two!

Meanwhile, on the other end,

following the release of the announcement,

the forums were also in an uproar.

"What? The venue for the third stage is actually a secret realm developed by the Cosmic Cloud Company Headquarters?!"

"Wait, did I read that right? A crimson lotus tribulation flame seed? They even have that!"

"The Ten Great Universe Divine Flames—refining any one of them grants perfect fire element affinity, allowing one to become a King-level Immortal of the Great Dao of Fire!

Even if it's just a seed, once refined, it can turn someone into a super genius of the Great Dao of Fire! Only the Cosmic Cloud Company could be so generous!"

"The other one, the space bodhi seed, isn't weak either! Legend has it that to refine a space bodhi seed, it must be crafted by a King-level Immortal who has attained the Dao through the Great Dao of Space, and a single one takes decades or even a century to make. They are incredibly rare!"

"Tsk tsk tsk, as expected of the Cosmic Cloud Company! It makes even me want to participate!"

"Pfft, do you even have the qualifications to participate?"

"I'm a bit curious, who will end up seizing these two heaven-defying opportunities?"

"It has to be Li Fan! The Tank, I'm not joking with you!"

"I wouldn't be so sure. Jiang Yunxu, Duan Xuan, and the others also have a chance to seize them. So far, we haven't seen them use their full strength!"

"It doesn't matter, it doesn't matter. As long as they aren't taken by those people from the Outer Regions, it's acceptable!"
