296: Chapter 296 The Fang Family's Double Pupils, Departure for the Starry Sky Secret Realm!

Obviously.

The comments on the forum alone were enough to show just how heaven-defying these two opportunities were.

At this moment,

not only had the ordinary people on the forum exploded into a frenzy.

The various top geniuses were also incredibly shocked.

Especially the one hundred thousand geniuses who had successfully confirmed their entry into the third stage.

This Stellar Secret Realm featured random teleportation.

This meant they actually had a certain chance of being teleported near these two opportunities, allowing them to get a head start!

It wasn't about strength; it was a gamble on luck!

As long as they could obtain either of these two opportunities, they would just need to lay low. Even if they couldn't advance to the fourth stage in the end, honestly, having such an opportunity would be more than enough!

Of course,

if they could obtain either one, it was absolutely impossible for them to be eliminated!

The rules for the third stage's competition were that the top ten thousand would advance.

Even at their absolute limit, the value of the opportunity held by the ten-thousandth place couldn't possibly surpass either of these two.

As for top geniuses like Jiang Yunxu,

their thoughts were naturally not like this.

Their thinking was actually the same as Li Fan's.

They wanted it all!!

For them, both the Crimson Lotus Calamity Flame and the space bodhi seed were existences that had the potential to elevate their families and enterprises to the next level!

If they could obtain them all, the benefits would simply be immense!

So now, if one had a god's-eye view, they would surely see that

the clan elders of the various top geniuses' families had once again gone to emphasize the importance of obtaining these two opportunities. Some families had even resorted to using resources similar to 'pulling up seedlings to help them grow,' further boosting their geniuses' strength.

For example, Fang Tong.

Fang Tong was currently in the Fang Family's ancestral land, receiving a cultivation infusion from an existence at the level of an Ancestor.

Actually, a method like cultivation infusion would never be used unless absolutely desperate, as it greatly damages one's foundation. Later, it might require enormous costs to compensate.

But the Fang Family had indeed reached a point of absolute desperation.

Not long ago, Li Fan had risen heaven-defyingly, consecutively killing Karmis and Liu Tu, and secured first place in the second stage by a huge margin, resulting in the entire Wushan Seat being filled with talk of Li Fan.

This immense impact caused Fang Tong's fear of Li Fan to surge once more, to the point where he couldn't even continue cultivating. He had even proactively mentioned withdrawing from the competition to Mother Fang.

The Fang Family's higher-ups knew that this was Fang Tong's inner demon growing increasingly powerful.

To completely free Fang Tong from this inner demon, they needed to either eliminate Li Fan or have Fang Tong defeat Li Fair in a direct confrontation!

The former was clearly impossible at the moment.

Li Fan was currently still at Huangchen Academy, where multiple Immortals were now stationed. Attempting an assassination there would be sheer fantasy.

What about assassinating him when he headed to the third stage?

That was even more impossible!

That would be on a Cosmic Cloud Company spaceship!

Dare to cause trouble on the Cosmic Cloud Company's watch?

Even if the Fang Family had a trillion times the courage, they wouldn't dare!

So, the only method at hand was to have Fang Tong defeat Li Fan once in a direct confrontation.

And aside from cultivation infusion, there seemed to be no other method to achieve this.

Despite the severe side effects, they had no choice but to gamble.

And when the Fang Family's higher-ups saw these two resources in the Stellar Secret Realm, it only solidified their decision to take this gamble.

A secret location within the Fang Family.

"In a few days, the Cosmic Cloud Company will come to pick people up.

By that time, Tong'er's cultivation will at most reach Star Shattering Third Tier. Any higher, and his body won't be able to withstand it.

However, to be honest, with this cultivation level, defeating Li Fan shouldn't be a problem. But if we're thinking about breaking into the top three or even winning the championship in the fourth stage, it's still not entirely reliable."

"So, I have an idea. We dig out one of Fang Ling's eyes and refine it into Tong'er's left eye, creating a pair of Double Pupils!"

"I've discussed this with the Ancestor. As long as the Ancestor personally performs the procedure, we won't have to worry about rejection issues with the Double Pupils in the short term."

"The power of Double Pupils will be several times stronger than that of a single pupil. With Double Pupils, combined with Star Shattering Third Tier cultivation, it should be enough to secure a spot in the top three. As long as he can enter the top three, our Fang Family will have a chance to advance further!"

The Fang Family Head, Fang Tong's father, sat at the head of the meeting table, outlining his upcoming plan.

As soon as this plan was announced,

the assembled Fang Family higher-ups were instantly thrown into an uproar.

Finally, an elder spoke slowly, "This is indeed a method, but isn't it too cruel towards Ling'er?"

As soon as these words were spoken, they instantly met with unanimous agreement.

The Fang Family's pupil technique had a drawback: if one only had a single pupil, the other eye would completely lose its pupil technique abilities.

In other words, once Fang Ling's eye was given to Fang Tong, Fang Ling could bid farewell to all of the Fang Family's inherited pupil techniques.

Regarding this issue, the Fang Family Head had anticipated it.

He simply clapped his hands.

The next second,

a handsome and elegant young man slowly walked into the conference room.

The young man's gaze was exceptionally resolute. After reaching the front, he directly dropped to one knee with a thud.

"Thank you for your concern, esteemed elders. As long as it benefits the family, Fang Ling is willing to sacrifice everything!"

The young man's voice was loud and filled with unwavering determination.

This quickly earned nods of approval from the assembled clan elders.

Since that was the case,

there was nothing left to worry about.

They immediately arranged for Fang Ling to go to the ancestral land for the eye extraction, preparing to forge Double Pupils for Fang Tong!

...

Back to Li Fan's side.

After reading the announcement, Li Fan returned to the Bizarre Planet to begin a new round of training.

According to the timeline,

in five days, the Cosmic Cloud Company would send a spaceship to pick him up.

At that time, he would head to that Stellar Secret Realm.

However, it would still take over ten days to arrive.

So, Li Fan truly only had about half a month left for cultivation.

During this half-month, Li Fan's goal was to see if he could break through to Star Shattering Second Tier.

...

In the blink of an eye,

five days quietly passed.

As an enormous blue spaceship appeared in the sky above Huangchen Academy,

Li Fan, Peng Song, and other New Students still within the academy immediately soared into the air, stepping towards the spaceship.

In the Sparring Partner area,

a group of Sparring Partners looked up at the giant spaceship and the retreating figures of Li Fan and Peng Song, their emotions indescribably complex.

These two, who had arrived with them back then,

were now dazzling geniuses shining brightly across the entire Wushan Seat!

Especially Li Fan.

Li Fan had even forcefully secured first place in the second stage of the Inheritance Competition, becoming a contender for the championship in this Inheritance Competition!

At this moment,

there was no mockery or jealousy among them, only admiration and the occasional sigh of Feeling.

"When they become great figures in the future, will they still remember us?"
