372: Chapter 372 Expectations for Li Fan, Emerging from Seclusion

Outside the Star Chasing Plan assessment area.

"Damn it! Just a little bit more, and I feel like I could have moved up another dozen spots!"

Peng Song returned to the spaceship's rest area and began venting his frustrations to Duan Ping and the others.

He actually had a chance of winning just now, but due to carelessness, he was ultimately eliminated.

Ranked 186th—he wasn't satisfied with this ranking at all.

Beside him, Duan Ping, Luo Ling, and the others were also dejected and listless.

Their rankings were even worse than Peng Song's.

As Peng Song was speaking, a figure suddenly appeared in front of him, causing his voice to come to an abrupt halt.

It was Jiang Yunxu.

Not much emotion could be seen on Jiang Yunxu's face, but a hint of resentment and disappointment was visible in his eyes.

"You were eliminated too? What's your rank?"

Peng Song looked at Jiang Yunxu and gave a bitter smile.

"One hundred and thirteen."

Jiang Yunxu shrugged and said indifferently.

Before coming to the headquarters.

Although they had all trained together at the Huangchen Academy, Peng Song and the others didn't have much interaction with Jiang Yunxu.

After arriving at the headquarters...

The Wushan Seat Contestants all chose to stick together.

Naturally, the relationships among the top performers among them gradually improved.

Now, they would look out for each other to some extent in this headquarters.

"113th. What a shame. I felt like you could definitely have made it into the top 100."

Hearing Jiang Yunxu's answer, Peng Song was slightly surprised and spoke with a frown.

He highly acknowledged Jiang Yunxu's strength; at the very least, it was definitely above his own for now.

In his view, Jiang Yunxu was guaranteed a spot in the top 100, and might even have made it into the top 50.

Yet, he ended up at 113th.

This really surprised him quite a bit.

However, since even Jiang Yunxu had underperformed, his own result of 186th made him feel a bit better.

"Alright, alright, I can't listen to this anymore. No matter how unfortunate you think you are, are you as unfortunate as me?"

At this moment, a voice sounded from the corner.

This person was none other than Kun Yun.

Although Kun Yun wasn't from the Wushan Seat, he had come with Peng Song and the others, so he was currently hanging out with the Wushan Seat Group Members.

Hearing Kun Yun's words, everyone couldn't help but show wry smiles.

If one were to talk about being unfortunate, Kun Yun was truly the most unfortunate.

Kun Yun's strength wasn't weak; he was on the same level as Duan Xuan, second only to Jiang Yunxu.

Reasonably speaking, Kun Yun also had a chance to enter the top 100.

But unfortunately, Kun Yun's luck was too poor.

As soon as he entered, he was teleported right between several Supreme Seat Domain seedlings, earning himself a spot in the bottom five.

The people who eliminated Kun Yun are currently still in the top five of the Star Chasing Plan Sequence Rankings.

Faced with such a situation, none of them would have been able to do anything about it.

Assessments are things that involve a bit of luck.

But fortunately, this sequence ranking is only an initial positioning; there will be more assessments later, and they still have a chance to push forward.

"Alright, the assessment is over. What's the point of saying so much? Let's stop comparing our miseries. Counting the time, Brother Fan should be arriving soon. Do you have any interest in coming with us to welcome him?"

At this point, Luo Ling waved his hand, shifting the topic to Li Fan.

It was now less than ten days until Li Fan's arrival at the headquarters.

Back then, the few of them had promised to host a welcome dinner for Li Fan.

"Not interested. Just say hello for me; I need to cultivate."

"I don't have time; I also need to cultivate."

Jiang Yunxu and Kun Yun both refused immediately and left in a hurry.

Their relationship with Li Fan wasn't as close as Peng Song's group, so they had no interest in a welcome dinner, and they were indeed busy with cultivation and lacked the time.

Seeing the two leave, Luo Ling, Peng Song, and the others couldn't help but shrug and smile at each other.

The two's refusal was within their expectations.

"The sequence assessment for the qingyun plan seems to be starting soon as well, right? I wonder if Brother Li Fan knows about this news," Duan Ping said with a frown.

A few days ago...

The announcement for the qingyun plan sequence assessment was also released internally.

That is currently the most anticipated event in the entire Talent Training Zone.

At that time, everyone in the Talent Training Zone will be watching, and it's said that even people from the headquarters' leadership team will attend.

As the leadership team of the headquarters, they rarely make appearances; the fact that they will personally attend to watch this time speaks volumes about the level of importance placed on it.

But the reason for such high importance is completely understandable.

Because in this batch of the qingyun plan, there are simply too many monsters.

Most of these Contestants come from various super-powers in the Supreme Seat Domains, with backgrounds that could be called the most prestigious in the history of the qingyun plan.

Even if the headquarters doesn't give these Students face, they still have to show some respect to the powers behind them.

"Brother Fan likely knows; this announcement will definitely be sent to all Students, unless Brother Fan is still in seclusion," Peng Song said with a shrug and a smile.

"Regarding this sequence assessment, I'm afraid things aren't looking very optimistic for Brother Fan. I've seen that group from the qingyun plan; they are generally at the second or third stage of the Universe Level, and every one of them has comprehended Law Power—some even more than a single wisp!" Duan Linger let out a breath, her expression slightly solemn.

As soon as she said this...

...the expressions of the others also turned solemn.

Indeed, on paper, the gap between Li Fan and these monsters from the Supreme Seat Domains is simply far too large.

Therefore, like most of the Wushan Seat Group Members, they aren't very optimistic about Li Fan's ranking this time.

"It's fine. With Brother Fan's talent, catching up is only a matter of time. Let's first think about how to welcome him when he arrives!"

"I suggest we take Brother Fan to the Jinyan Pavilion for a meal; we can even listen to some music."

Peng Song spoke up, steering the conversation away from that heavy topic.

The others then joined in the discussion.

"Listening to music at a lounge? That sounds great!"

"Jinyan Pavilion isn't cheap, but it's definitely worth the price. Let's go there then..."

...

In the blink of an eye, another five days passed.

Meanwhile, back to Li Fan.

At this time, Li Fan was still training on that Bizarre Planet.

"It's about three days until arrival; I should head out."

After finishing his last set of exercises, Li Fan checked the time and murmured to himself.

He was about to arrive at the headquarters.

In these three days, he planned to learn more about the situation at the headquarters and in the Supreme Seat Domains.

He got up, left the Bizarre Planet, and returned to the cultivation room.

Before Li Fan could even settle in, a voice sounded from outside the door.

"Li Fan, it's time to emerge from seclusion. There's an announcement!"

The speaker was one of the four who had come to escort him.

Naturally, Li Fan didn't dare to hesitate for a moment and immediately got up and walked over.
