322: Chapter 322 All Eyes on You!

"Ah?!"

"Li Fan did that!"

"Hiss! Li Fan is being reckless!"

"No, this shouldn't be! Doesn't Li Fan sense that something is wrong? He just went for it?"

"This is bad! Li Fan is likely going to get into trouble!"

"Indeed, if this is the case, Li Fan is going to pay the price for his rashness!"

"With Li Fan's insight, it seems impossible that he didn't notice the strangeness of this Giant Tree. What is going on?"

"Could it be that Li Fan's mind has been clouded by that space bodhi seed?"

"It's over! The peak showdown probably won't happen; Jiang Yunxu is going to reap the rewards."

"Li Fan, why aren't you staying calm at a time like this?"

"I feel like Li Fan has already sensed that something is off, but he doesn't care. He is too confident in his own strength!"

"I think that's possible too, but this isn't a wise choice. If he handles it poorly later, he might very well be eliminated!"

...

In the main channel.

The Wushan Seat Public watching Li Fan stride forward, full of confidence, toward the space bodhi seed, all let out shocked cries.

Li Fan's choice truly surprised them, and they strongly disapproved.

If the situation Li Fan faced was Ba Shang when they first arrived, it might still be understandable.

But the problem was, the area around the Giant Tree was filled with the smell of blood, and Jiang Yunxu was sitting there guarding it.

Under such circumstances, any normal person could probably guess some clues and wouldn't attack so easily.

Yet, look at Li Fan.

He actually charged toward the Giant Tree like a brave but brainless brute.

Since that is the case,

They could largely guess the subsequent scene.

That is, the Giant Tree would lash out countless willow branches, repel Li Fan, or even severely injure him, and then Jiang Yunxu would step in to clean up the battlefield, resulting in Li Fan's elimination.

And this outcome was clearly not what everyone wanted to see.

Among the public, those who least wanted to see this scene were naturally the Tianlan Star Domain public.

Their Tianlan Star Domain had finally produced an extremely monstrous genius; it would be too much of a pity if he were eliminated here!

...

On the other side.

In Li Daguo's private estate in the virtual network.

"Xiao Fan!"

"It's bad, Brother Fan hasn't calmed down!"

"This... Brother Fan is going to be in trouble!"

Huang Lan, Gu Ling, Lu Qilai, and the others watched Li Fan's actions, unable to help but stand up simultaneously, their faces filled with surprise and worry.

Right now, Li Fan had actually chosen the worst path they had predicted!

Not only was there a possibility of elimination, but there was also the risk of death!

"It shouldn't be!"

"Xiao Fan shouldn't have his mind clouded by some supposed opportunity!"

Li Daguo frowned deeply, staring intently at the situation on the screen.

Based on his understanding of Li Fan, Li Fan shouldn't be so reckless as to not notice anything unusual.

In his view, Li Fan must have noticed it.

And yet, he still chose this method; perhaps Li Fan had his own reasons.

All he could do now was trust Li Fan.

...

At the Wushan Seat Branch of the Cosmic Cloud Company.

"What is this kid doing?!"

Sang Gan was also dumbfounded, his words betraying a loss of composure.

From Li Fan's subtle expressions since his arrival,

He could clearly see that Li Fan had definitely noticed the situation with the Giant Tree!

He had probably even guessed that the Giant Tree might be a ferocious beast!

But even so, Li Fan dared to attack!

Could it be that Ai Xin was right after all?

Was Li Fan simply too confident in his own strength?

"For his level of strength, it's a real shame to fall in the third stage."

Ai Xin's expression was very calm, showing no surprise, as if she had seen this scene long ago. However, her words still carried a hint of regret.

Setting aside other things, she truly admired Li Fan's talent. Being eliminated due to excessive confidence was truly regrettable.

As her voice fell, Ai Xin suddenly shifted her tone, a hint of expectation rising in her eyes.

"But it's also good; I can finally see this little guy's full power!"

That's right.

Li Fan's crushing victories along the way had given her many pleasant surprises, but she had never had the chance to see Li Fan fight at his full capacity.

Now, under the pressure of the Giant Tree Lord, she would finally get to see it.

She didn't believe Li Fan could remain relaxed and composed when facing the Giant Tree.

Nor did she believe Li Fan would be so weak as to not even have a chance to resist.

So, in her opinion, Li Fan was bound to unleash his strongest power next!

Listening to Ai Xin's words,

Sang Gan below wore a wry smile, his feelings extremely complicated.

Li Fan was still too young!

Now, he had only one thought in his mind.

That was, Li Fan must not be eliminated!

Even if the opportunity was snatched by Jiang Yunxu later, he must not be eliminated. The third stage absolutely cannot be Li Fan's endpoint!

...

The focus returned to the arena.

As Li Fan charged forward,

All the Contestants present, including Jiang Yunxu, focused their gazes on Li Fan and the Giant Tree.

They all wanted to see if Li Fan could successfully obtain that space bodhi seed.

Just as Li Fan leaped and was about to reach above the Giant Tree, the dense foliage suddenly trembled, and then dozens of terrifying willow branches descended.

The willow branches drifted down rapidly, their speed almost reaching the extreme, shooting straight toward Li Fan, seemingly intending to slice him into several pieces, just like Ba Shang before him!

"Hiss!"

"Good heavens! What is that?"

"There really is something strange going on!"

"Such a terrifying aura!"

"No way, is this Giant Tree actually a ferocious beast?!"

The Contestants lurking below watched this scene, all unable to help but murmur softly, cold sweat breaking out on their backs.

They had suspected the Giant Tree was strange, but they never thought it would actually be a ferocious beast!

It was a good thing they hadn't rushed up like Li Fan after arriving; otherwise, these willow branches could have taken them out in minutes!

Compared to these latecomers, Jiang Yunxu naturally showed no surprise.

Jiang Yunxu's gaze was entirely fixed on Li Fan now.

He was extremely curious how long Li Fan could last against this ferocious beast, which was already at the Universe Rank Five Stage, and in what manner he would pay the price for his rashness or arrogance.

At the same time, he was ready to snatch any opportunity at any moment!

Once Li Fan was severely injured and repelled by the Giant Tree,

He would rush to Li Fan's side at the first moment and seize the crimson lotus tribulation flame seed on Li Fan.

Of course, he wouldn't choose to eliminate Li Fan directly, just stop at a warning blow.

Actually, if it were any other person, he would definitely eliminate them.

The main reason he planned to stop short was because this person was Li Fan!

The reason was very simple.

On one hand, he greatly admired Li Fan and didn't want to lose such a strong opponent so early.

On the other hand, he didn't want to take advantage of someone in distress and incur too deep a hatred with Li Fan.

If they were to fight, it should be a serious, fair fight, not striking when Li Fan was severely injured.

So, his current goal was only the crimson lotus tribulation flame seed!

On the other side,

The public in the main channel now also had their eyes entirely on Li Fan.

They all wanted to see whether Li Fan would be eliminated as they predicted, or if he would give them another surprise?
