328: Chapter 328 The Last Day, Ranking List!

Inside the main channel, the Wushan Seat Public were all discussing whether Duan Ping would fight Li Fan and what the outcome would be.

While the Wushan Seat Public were discussing...

Duan Ping was already beginning to slowly close in on Li Fan's location.

Meanwhile, Li Fan was incredibly relaxed, grilling meat on a scenic prairie while studying the refining method for the crimson lotus tribulation flame seed.

"Senior Ming Yan, I feel like I can start refining this flame seed now? I feel like I've gained some grasp of it."

Li Fan toyed with the crimson lotus tribulation flame seed in his hand while communicating with the remnant soul of Elder Ming Yan in his mind.

Over the past month, every time Li Fan used "Fire Cosmos" to try and refine or contact the crimson lotus tribulation flame seed, he would communicate with Ming Yan to ask about some detailed issues.

"Hmm, it's about time. With your current understanding of 'Fire Cosmos', perhaps it won't take more than a few months to refine this seed."

The remnant soul of Ming Yan transmitted his voice indifferently.

Though he looked calm on the surface, he was actually complaining in his heart.

In truth, with Li Fan's comprehension, he could have started refining this flame seed long ago.

However, since they were still in the middle of the Inheritance Competition, there wasn't a quiet environment for Li Fan to enter secluded cultivation. Thus, Ming Yan used the excuse that some details weren't yet in place to make Li Fan wait a bit longer.

It had to be said, Li Fan's talent and comprehension were truly ridiculous!

He could even vaguely see the image of Li Fan becoming a Three-Life Immortal.

Hearing the words of Elder Ming Yan's remnant soul, Li Fan couldn't help but feel a bit disappointed.

"Still a few months? It would be great if it could be refined within a month."

Li Fan complained.

Indeed, for Li Fan, taking several months to refine it was still too long.

If it could be refined within a month, he could still make it for the Fourth Stage of the competition.

As soon as Li Fan said this, Elder Ming Yan's mouth twitched, and he said sheepishly, "Then you can try, but you should understand the principle that haste makes waste."

No.

Being able to refine it in a few months was already considered very short!

If it were someone with weaker talent and comprehension, it would take at least a year or two.

Li Fan wanted to refine it in a month?

This was simply looking down too much on this Crimson Lotus Calamity Flame.

"Mhm, I understand. After the Third Stage of the competition ends, I'll give it a try."

Li Fan grinned, showing a row of white teeth as he spoke with a smile.

To this, Elder Ming Yan hesitated to speak.

Why couldn't he tell good advice from bad?

But since Li Fan was so confident, he didn't say anything more.

If the refinement failed, Li Fan would naturally back down.

But what if Li Fan actually succeeded?

It wasn't impossible!

After all, too many miracles had already occurred with Li Fan!

...

In the blink of an eye, several hours passed.

Li Fan had been staying on the prairie. Many Contestants seeking the opportunities on Li Fan had come and gone.

However, basically after seeing clearly that it was Li Fan, they all chose to retreat without hesitation.

And at this time.

Duan Ping's position was getting closer and closer to Li Fan.

Countless gazes were undoubtedly fixed on him right now.

They all wanted to see if Duan Ping would give them a chance to see Li Fan's peak form once again.

Before long.

Duan Ping noticed Li Fan on the prairie ahead, as well as the great serpent beside him.

Unlike the other Contestants...

Duan Ping actually didn't retreat, but headed straight toward Li Fan.

This scene caused the Wushan Seat Public in the main channel to subconsciously hold their breath, their eyes filled with expectation.

Duan Ping didn't run?

Could it be they were really going to fight?

"Hiss! Duan Ping is planning to trade a few blows with Li Fan!"

"Finally, there's something to watch! I hope Duan Ping can hold out a bit longer and try to make Li Fan show more of his strength!"

"Forget it. Compared to Li Fan, it feels like Duan Ping basically has no room to fight back."

"Isn't that the truth? Even if you called his brother Duan Xuan over, he basically wouldn't be Li Fan's opponent. I feel like this Duan Ping might be eliminated."

"Duan Ping's chances are indeed not high, but they haven't fought yet. As the former Young Sword Sovereign of the Sword Abyss Sea, I feel he still has a certain level of skill. Even if he can't win, Li Fan probably won't have it too easy."

In the main channel, the public was already discussing Duan Ping's actions, looking forward to the two of them fighting.

However.

The following scene disappointed them.

Duan Ping sped along and soon approached Li Fan. Forget about not drawing his sword and taking a stance...

He actually revealed a face full of smiles.

"Brother Li Fan, I didn't expect it to be you?!"

Duan Ping shouted.

Li Fan looked toward Duan Ping. He was stunned for a moment before also revealing a smile, "Duan Ping!"

Li Fan was very surprised to encounter Duan Ping here.

"Brother Duan Ping, it seems you've made quite a bit of progress lately?"

As Duan Ping approached, Li Fan immediately noticed the changes in him.

Compared to before the Inheritance Competition, Duan Ping now seemed to have undergone a complete transformation, whether in spirit or aura.

Duan Ping smiled and waved his hand, "It's a long story. But Brother Li Fan, you actually took both golden opportunities for yourself."

"Thinking about it, among all the Contestants, only you, Brother Li Fan, have the strength to do it."

...

After a brief exchange of pleasantries, the two sat on the ground together, waiting for the nearly cooked meat.

This scene left the public outside somewhat dumbfounded.

Good heavens.

Duan Ping and Li Fan actually knew each other!

And it looked like they had a pretty good relationship!

If that was the case, hadn't their expectations been in vain?

...

Back to Li Fan's side.

During their chat.

Soon, Li Fan learned from Duan Ping the reason for his transformation.

It mainly relied on the clan's inheritance sword techniques and the assistance of an ancestor in body tempering.

Originally, the clan did this just so Duan Ping could have a mediocre performance in the inheritance and not be too embarrassing.

Unexpectedly, while fighting in this secret realm, the symptoms of his strange illness actually began to slowly disappear.

Subsequently, with his years of persistent cultivation and the accumulation of effort, his strength began to advance by leaps and bounds. Within a few months, he broke through frantically, rising several levels at once to reach the peak of the second stage of the Star Shattering Rank, only one step away from the Third Stage!

Hearing Duan Ping's experience, Li Fan was also sincerely happy for him.

Compared to the previous timid and even somewhat wretched Duan Ping, he appreciated the current Duan Ping, who exuded confidence from head to toe.

"Brother Li Fan, there's less than two days left until the end of the Third Stage. I don't know where the value of the opportunities I have will rank,"

"So I'll take my leave first. Let's have a good talk after it's over."

After chatting for a long while, Duan Ping stood up and prepared to leave.

Compared to Li Fan's steady first place, he had no idea about the value of his own opportunities, so he couldn't calmly continue chatting with Li Fan here.

Li Fan was also very understanding and watched Duan Ping depart.

...

In the blink of an eye.

The final day of the Third Stage of the competition had arrived.

At this time, on the canopy above the secret realm, a phantom image of a ranking list was quietly emerging.

This list was none other than the ranking of the value of the opportunities held by the various Contestants!
