340: Chapter 340: Project Tianming Contestants Enter the Arena!

Time flew by.

In the blink of an eye, ten days had passed since the start of the fourth stage of the Inheritance Competition.

During these ten days.

The vast majority of the Contestants had basically mastered the laws of survival here.

However, most of their survival methods were clearly not as composed as Li Fan's.

Setting everything else aside.

One could see the predicament of most Contestants just from their points alone.

A total of ten thousand Contestants participated in the fourth stage, and now only nine thousand one hundred remained on the field; among them, nearly five thousand people had no more than a thousand points in their hands.

In other words, the number of spiritual bodies killed by these five thousand-plus people did not exceed five!

Of course.

The situation for the Contestants ranked in the top one thousand was actually much better.

Having gained a basic understanding of the spiritual bodies here, combined with their own learning abilities and overall combat strength which were not weak, they could now face ordinary spiritual bodies with relative composure.

And it is worth mentioning.

During these ten days.

The Wushan Seat Public finally understood why Li Fan was fighting these spiritual bodies to a draw, and even looking like he was having a difficult time.

It turned out Li Fan was learning the combat techniques of these spiritual bodies.

Indeed, no matter how poor the public's strength or vision was, after such a long time, they could see the clues.

In fact, more and more Contestants were now doing the same thing as Li Fan.

For example, Jiang Yunxu, Kun Yun, and Duan Xuan were the outstanding ones among them.

And as the Contestants fought with the spiritual bodies.

Some Contestants also experienced things similar to Li Fan and Commander Yang Chong.

They were learning more and more about what had once happened on this Ancient Battlefield.

But of course.

The public in the outside world remained completely unaware of this.

From their perspective.

They only saw that some Contestants seemed to have become more polite, just like Li Fan.

...

In a flash.

Another three days passed.

On the Ancient Battlefield, everything proceeded according to plan.

At this time, outside the starry sky of the Ancient Battlefield continent.

In addition to the spaceship that had brought the Contestants here, another smaller spaceship had now arrived.

"The people have arrived!"

From the small spaceship, a Middle-aged Man wearing a Cosmic Cloud Company uniform emerged and then went before the Person in Charge of the fourth stage assessment.

The Person in Charge nodded, his expression slightly displeased. "Mhm, have them all come over; I'll teleport them in shortly."

"But make sure they remember, they absolutely must not interfere with the assessment process! Otherwise, don't blame me for being impolite!"

The Middle-aged Man shrugged and said with a face full of helplessness, "They probably won't. Their superiors on that side have already briefed them."

"Unless they don't want to go to headquarters anymore."

After saying that, the Middle-aged Man turned and left.

And after the Middle-aged Man left, the voice of the Person in Charge grumbling rang out.

"I don't know what the higher-ups were thinking, actually allowing these people to participate in the assessment?!"

"With these people going in, aren't they openly going to break the balance?"

Exactly.

The people he spoke of were precisely those from the Tianming Plan brought by Jiang Ling.

The assistant on the side had a face full of helplessness and spoke with a frown, "Actually, it's fine. There are only a few hundred of them in total. Compared to so many Contestants, the difference in numbers is huge. Plus, the area of this Ancient Battlefield is also large; the impact they can cause shouldn't be very significant."

As soon as these words were spoken.

The face of the Person in Charge improved slightly.

That made sense.

This group might be strong, but fortunately, their numbers were few. At most, they would encounter a thousand or so Contestants, and with a bit of bad luck, they might not even run into a thousand.

"This is that Ancient Battlefield?"

"Hiss! It looks even more oppressive than it did on the livestream!"

"Did you all bring enough healing medicine? If we injure those little brats later, we have to be responsible for their treatment, otherwise it'll affect their assessment progress!"

"Damn! We have to heal them if we injure them? There are too many restrictions! I really feel like a freaking NPC!"

"Enough, enough. This is an opportunity Lord Jiang Ling spent a lot of effort to secure for us. Just enjoy the competitive atmosphere; our own assessment hasn't come yet."

"Exactly. If our opponents were at this level during our assessment, I'd wake up laughing from my dreams!"

"I'm calling it now, leave Li Fan to me, you guys can have the rest!"

"What do you mean leave Li Fan to you? I clearly chose him first!"

...

On the spaceship's deck, the members of the Tianming Plan were all looking at the distant Ancient Battlefield continent, each one incredibly excited; many had even locked onto their targets in advance.

And soon.

After waiting for a short while.

These people from the Tianming Plan were teleported one by one into the Ancient Battlefield continent.

As for the entry of these members.

Both the Contestants and the Wushan Seat Public were completely unaware.

"As far as I know, many people in your Tianming Plan are interested in Li Fan, Jiang Yunxu, and the others. Do you think they have a chance of winning?"

In a courtyard of the Cosmic Cloud Company's Wushan Seat Branch, Ai Xin watched the Tianming Plan Contestants being teleported one after another and couldn't help but look at Jiang Ling beside her, a hint of playfulness on her face.

Jiang Ling raised an eyebrow and smiled, "They? Are you referring to the group of little brats I brought, or Li Fan, Jiang Yunxu, and the others?"

Upon hearing this, Ai Xin's smile froze, and her eyes narrowed slightly as she stared intently at Jiang Ling, seemingly displeased.

Seeing this, Jiang Ling immediately coughed and gave an awkward laugh, "Ahem, I was just joking, just correcting the ambiguity in your words. You really haven't changed at all, not a shred of humor."

"In my view, the strength of Li Fan, Jiang Yunxu, and the others is indeed formidable, but if they encounter the top few among those I chose, they still won't be able to take it. Besides their cultivation realms being far beyond Li Fan and Jiang Yunxu's, their ability to fight above their level is also not weak at all. It's truly hard to find a reason why they would lose."

After the atmosphere improved, Jiang Ling expressed his thoughts in such a manner.

And Ai Xin, hearing this, only smiled.

"Hard to say about the others, but as for Li Fan, even if your whole group were added together, they couldn't possibly be his match!"

Hearing this, Jiang Ling's brow furrowed slightly, "So much confidence in this Li Fan? Or are you looking down on my eye for talent?"

Ai Xin gave a disdainful smile, "Both."

These two words made Jiang Ling's mouth twitch uncontrollably.

Not having seen her for so many years, Ai Xin still spoke so directly, regardless of whether others lived or died.

However, Ai Xin's words successfully ignited Jiang Ling's competitive spirit.

"Since you're so confident in Li Fan, do you dare to bet?" Jiang Ling looked at Ai Xin with a hint of provocation.

But all he received was a look from Ai Xin as if she were looking at an idiot. "How old are you? Still playing this game? Even if you want to bet, how high do you think the chances are that the few top-tier seedlings you're thinking of will actually encounter Li Fan?"

"Damn! Well, if they do meet, do you dare to bet?" Jiang Ling spread his hands and asked again.

Ai Xin looked at Jiang Ling's appearance, remained silent for a while, and then couldn't help but smile with him. "Fine, then let's bet. But it seems you don't have anything on you that I want?"

Seeing that Ai Xin had agreed.

Jiang Ling slapped his chest and said with a smile, "The old rules: betting with me isn't about what you want, but about what I have!"
