320: Chapter 320 Tensive Atmosphere, Li Fan Arrives!

Li Daguo's Private Estate.

"Little Fan is about to arrive there soon. I hope he doesn't act impulsively!"

"Indeed, that tree is ridiculously strong. I don't think even Brother Fan is its match. Plus, there's Jiang Yunxu nearby. If Brother Fan gets too impatient and provokes the Giant Tree Lord first, it would be extremely dangerous!"

"Yes, Brother Fan needs to be careful!"

With their god's-eye view, Huang Lan, Gu Ling, Lu Qilai, and the others had their hearts in their throats.

They had all witnessed the terrifying power of that giant tree.

Before this, they all thought Li Fan's current strength wouldn't be inferior to anyone's, that he could gallivant freely in this secret realm, waiting for first place.

But the appearance of the Giant Tree Lord truly poured a bucket of cold water on their enthusiasm.

Now, the situation was even more critical.

If Li Fan made the wrong choice, forget first place, he could likely be eliminated directly, or even fall!

...

"Isn't the combat power of this lord arranged a bit too high?"

"Indeed, it's more than enough. It seems this stage is testing the Contestants' ability to weigh choices."

"One Jiang Yunxu, one Li Fan... both are precious to us. To end up like this..."

Huangchen Academy.

Dean Liusha and several Immortal Deans were all staring at the main feed, unable to help but sigh with bitter smiles.

Firstly, this Giant Tree Lord was indeed a bit outrageous.

So strong that even they didn't think Jiang Yunxu or Li Fan could defeat it.

Secondly.

Looking at the current situation.

Li Fan and Jiang Yunxu were highly likely to battle.

And most likely, one of them would probably be eliminated.

For the academy.

Both were the academy's seeded Contestants.

They would be utterly heartbroken if either one were eliminated.

"Sigh, why not arrange a weaker lord so Jiang Yunxu or Duan Xuan could get that bodhi seed? Why insist on this test of weighing choices?"

An Immortal Dean couldn't help but complain again.

...

Cosmic Cloud Company, Wushan Seat Branch.

"These two are about to face off. Looks like we're in for a good show next."

Watching the scene in the secret realm, Sang Gan couldn't help but show a look of anticipation on his face.

He had long wanted to see who was stronger between Li Fan and Jiang Yunxu, to see their full-powered combat stances!

Now, Duan Xuan and Kun Yun had both left, with no other interference.

This was the perfect opportunity for a fair, one-on-one showdown between the two!

The only factor now affecting a direct confrontation was Li Fan himself.

If Li Fan rushed to seize the bodhi seed.

Then Jiang Yunxu would get an easy advantage.

Any talk of a direct showdown would naturally be off the table.

Of course, Sang Gan didn't think Li Fan would be foolish to that extent.

The bloody scent around that Giant Tree Lord was probably so thick it could be smelled from kilometers away.

Li Fan wouldn't be so eager to charge straight for the bodhi seed.

"Who do you think will win?"

At that moment, Ai Xin, seated at the head, looked at Sang Gan and asked, a playful smile at the corner of her mouth.

As for this question.

Sang Gan pondered briefly before saying:

"Neither has shown their peak form yet. It's impossible to judge who would win before the fight starts."

"However, with the Divine Illusionist boost, I think Li Fan has the greater chance of winning!"

That's right.

Sang Gan chose Li Fan.

Hearing this, Ai Xin nodded, then suddenly shifted the topic with a smile.

"In that case, I'll choose that Jiang Yunxu!"

Hearing this, Sang Gan couldn't help but frown.

With Ai Xin's status, she wouldn't deliberately contradict him.

"Has Lady Ai Xin perhaps noticed something in Jiang Yunxu that would lead to victory?" Sang Gan asked directly, voicing his doubt.

Ai Xin didn't beat around the bush.

"Not at all. The reason I think Jiang Yunxu can win is because of Li Fan."

"Judging by his headstrong personality, he'll most likely go for the bodhi seed first. He's too confident!"

Hearing this, Sang Gan nodded outwardly, but inwardly he was both amused and exasperated.

True, along his journey, Li Fan had indeed been bulldozing through, a blend of bravery and wisdom, though rarely showing the 'wisdom' aspect.

But to conclude Li Fan would be foolhardy enough to charge directly at the blood-soaked Giant Tree Lord first would be underestimating him!

At this moment.

He didn't say more, just agreed with Ai Xin a few times before turning his gaze back to the secret realm feed.

Now, besides looking forward to the battle between Li Fan and Jiang Yunxu, he had another expectation.

That was to see Li Fan crush Jiang Yunxu head-on and then leave, giving this Lady Ai Xin a good slap in the face!

...

Shifting focus back to the secret realm.

As time passed.

More and more prodigies began arriving under the giant tree.

And they were clearly not as impulsive as the first batch.

Apart from the bloody scent in the air.

The main reason was Jiang Yunxu.

Jiang Yunxu wasn't hiding at all; he was sitting there openly.

So almost all arriving Contestants could see Jiang Yunxu's figure immediately.

These Contestants weren't stupid.

Faced with the space bodhi seed right before their eyes, even a terrifying prodigy like Jiang Yunxu hadn't tried to seize it. Combined with the bloody scent in the air.

Anyone could basically guess this giant tree was probably not simple.

Therefore, these Contestants almost all went into hiding nearby.

On one hand, they wanted to see what was really strange here.

On the other hand, they were thinking if they could take advantage of the chaos later to get a piece of that space bodhi seed.

Even though with Jiang Yunxu present, the possibility was slim.

But what if?

Couldn't they take a chance?

Soon.

Time continued to pass, second by second.

The number of Contestants who had arrived and were hiding nearby grew larger and larger.

A rough glance showed several hundred had already come.

Jiang Yunxu was actually aware of this and could guess their thoughts.

However, he didn't care in the slightest; in fact, he was quite pleased.

Because after he seized the crimson lotus tribulation flame seed from the golden point.

The opportunities on these Contestants hiding nearby would also be his for the taking!

Simply put, barring any accidents, he could kill two birds with one stone!

And soon.

As Li Fan drew closer.

The Contestants hiding nearby also noticed, their eyes now gleaming with excitement.

The bodhi seed and Jiang Yunxu before them were too conspicuous.

They had almost forgotten about this golden point!

This way.

There were two golden opportunities laid out before them!

The chance to take a risk and succeed was undoubtedly greater now!

Of course.

Within the crowd, a very few individuals chose to flee swiftly at this moment.

And these few were precisely Contestants who had previously had their opportunities plundered by Li Fan.

Others might not know who the golden point was, but they did.

That was Li Fan!

One Li Fan, one Jiang Yunxu, a Universe Level Three giant snake, and this strange giant tree before them.

Just thinking about it made their heads spin.

Fishing in troubled waters was indeed tempting.

But when the water was full of crocodiles, how the hell were you supposed to fish?

And as time passed.

Jiang Yunxu, who had been meditating with his eyes closed, suddenly opened them, looking in a certain direction.

"He's almost here!"
