342: Chapter 342 Defeating Kunyun's Top Promising Talents!

"Bro... Bro... Brother Fan, I mean no harm,"

"Actually, I was coerced by that dead fatty. I'm on your side; I don't even know him!"

The Thin and Tall Youth slowly stood up, casually tossed the recording equipment aside, and spoke hesitantly.

His strength was similar to the Corpulent Youth from earlier.

Now that the Corpulent Youth had met such an end, he certainly wouldn't stand a chance against Li Fan.

So the best outcome was to show goodwill to Li Fan and see if he could leave safely.

As for pride...

Yes, he had it.

But as the saying goes, a great man knows when to yield!

Endure for a moment and the winds will calm; take a step back and the horizon broadens!

However...

The Thin and Tall Youth's excuse seemed extremely weak.

'Coerced by that dead fatty?' Was he trying to fool a complete idiot?

"Brother Fan, Brother Fan, you have to believe me. I've actually always been your fan!"

Seeing that Li Fan had no intention of stopping, the Thin and Tall Youth couldn't help but continue speaking.

But these were his final words.

Just as he finished speaking...

Li Fan's figure flickered like a ghost, teleporting in front of the Thin and Tall Youth.

What followed was a terrifyingly heavy punch.

Bang!

A loud explosion sounded, mixed with the sound of teeth shattering.

Splat!

The Thin and Tall Youth also went into a spiral ascent, crashing into the same giant rock as the Corpulent Youth earlier, then falling unconscious on top of him.

After dealing with the two...

A question popped into Li Fan's mind.

"Where did these two come from?"

Looking at their situation, they definitely weren't Contestants.

Although they were no match for him, their strength would be top-tier among Contestants. If they really were Contestants, they shouldn't be unknown.

Spiritual bodies?

That was even less likely.

Since they weren't Contestants or spiritual bodies, he really couldn't think of any other identity they could have.

Sharing the same confusion as Li Fan was the Wushan Seat Public.

"These two don't look like Contestants. Why would they appear here?"

"Indeed, just looking at their age, they seem to exceed the standards for the Inheritance Competition. However, their strength is indeed quite formidable. It's just a pity they ran into Li Fan!"

"They aren't Contestants, but they don't look like spiritual bodies either. What spiritual body can speak and beg for mercy?"

"Then what's going on? Did they wander in by mistake? That's unlikely too; this is the Inheritance Competition!"

"Who cares who they are? It's satisfying to watch! Did you see those two punches from Li Fan just now? They were simply explosive. Li Fan is my idol!"

In the Main Channel, discussions were rife, voices rising like a tide.

They had seen the battle between Li Fan and the two men.

They were also completely confused about the duo's identity and why they were here.

Soon...

As time passed...

More and more mysterious people like the bloated and tall, thin young men began to appear on camera.

Indeed.

The people of the Tianming Plan had originally planned to find powerful Contestants to spar with.

But finding powerful Contestants like Li Fan wasn't easy, so they simply set their sights on ordinary Contestants.

Although this wasn't challenging for them, it could at least relieve their boredom.

As more people from the Tianming Plan appeared before the Wushan Seat Public, discussions about them grew more frequent.

Currently, the discussion about this group of mysterious beings occupied the top three spots on the hot list.

Then...

To prevent the public from continuing to speculate wildly...

The Wushan Seat Branch of the Cosmic Cloud Company released an announcement, briefly explaining the identity of the Tianming Plan participants.

Of course...

Since the Tianming Plan was an internal project of the Cosmic Cloud Company, it wouldn't be fully disclosed to the outside world. Thus, the announcement referred to them as 'part of the assessment, an Easter egg project.'

After the announcement was released, the Wushan Seat Public's discussion of these 'Easter eggs' grew even more intense.

However, the main reason for this was Kun Yun's crushing defeat.

Yes.

Not long ago...

Kun Yun was defeated by a seedling from the Tianming Plan.

Furthermore, that young man not only easily defeated Kun Yun but also dealt with a passing Contestant. Although that Contestant couldn't compare to Kun Yun, they were still highly ranked.

Such strength left the Wushan Seat Public both shocked and delighted.

They were worried that watching the Contestants fight ancestral spiritual bodies was becoming a bit repetitive.

The appearance of these Tianming Plan seedlings brought them new expectations!

What made them even more expectant...

Was that based on the current direction and distance of the young man who had just defeated Kun Yun...

Before long, he would encounter Li Fan.

...

Inside the courtyard of the Wushan Seat Branch of the Cosmic Cloud Company.

"This is Lin Yu. Among this batch of seedlings, his strength ranks in the top three."

Jiang Ling looked at Ai Xin beside him and introduced the young man on the screen who had recently defeated Kun Yun, a look of satisfaction in his eyes.

Ai Xin nodded and shrugged, "You have decent taste."

After watching Lin Yu's battle, her impression of him was quite good.

However, her next words made Jiang Ling's smile freeze.

"If he were a dozen years younger and had comprehended a wisp of Law Power, he could probably be selected for the qingyun plan like Li Fan."

The meaning behind these words was clear.

Lin Yu's talent was far inferior to Li Fan's, and his eye for talent wasn't as good as hers.

Jiang Ling was long used to such witty banter and simply shrugged with a smile.

"Lin Yu is heading in a direction where he'll soon meet Li Fan. So, are you nervous?"

At this moment, Jiang Ling looked at Ai Xin and spoke calmly.

Obviously, from neither her expression nor her movements did Ai Xin look nervous at all.

"I'm not nervous, but you might need to be."

Ai Xin smiled.

Jiang Ling spread his hands, "Then we'll just have to wait and see."

...

Within the Ancient Battlefield continent.

Li Fan was currently wandering atop a mountain range.

There were many spiritual bodies here, some even more powerful than Captain Yang Chong.

Their memories from when they were alive also moved Li Fan, and the secret techniques and combat skills they provided gave him much to gain.

Of course...

More importantly, it caused Li Fan's points to surge once again!

Now, Li Fan's points had reached 230,000!

This number left Jiang Yunxu, who was in second place with 73,000, far behind.

If he maintained this momentum, Li Fan would undoubtedly be the champion.

Soon...

As Li Fan continued forward, a figure appeared in his vision in the distance.

However, because it was too far away and Li Fan's main targets were the spiritual bodies in front of him, he didn't pay it much mind.

While Li Fan didn't care...

That figure had already locked onto him.

And this person was none other...

Than Lin Yu!
