374: Chapter 374 An Intensity Beyond Li Fan's Expectations!

"Not bad, a little interesting!"

After reading the explanation regarding the sequence ranking, Li Fan couldn't help but smile wryly.

In fact, this was largely consistent with what he had previously guessed.

For youth training programs, it was mostly like this.

Whether it was the Martial Arts University on Blue Star or the later Huangchen Academy, rankings were primarily tied to resources.

As for the desire to win based on the ranking,

Li Fan naturally possessed it, but it wasn't overly intense. He just needed to figure out the gap between himself and those others, or how far ahead he was.

Compared to absolutely having to compete for supremacy with these seedlings,

He clearly wanted more points.

This was the Cosmic Cloud Company Headquarters, a top-tier major power in the entire universe!

The resources it could provide were far beyond ordinary people's imagination!

Earning a massive wave of points and exchanging them for resources almost unseen in the outside world—wouldn't that be incredibly rewarding?!

Therefore, for this sequence assessment, he absolutely had to push his ranking forward as quickly as possible!

Immediately after,

After finishing reading the notice about the qingyun plan sequence assessment, Li Fan prepared to log off.

With three days remaining, he didn't plan to continue cultivating in seclusion. He intended to find the seniors who had guided him to learn about the Supreme Seat Domain and some information regarding the Cosmic Cloud Company Headquarters.

Just as Li Fan was about to log off, a meeting invitation from Peng Song popped up.

Seeing this, Li Fan immediately clicked 'Confirm'.

The next second,

It was the familiar courtyard.

Peng Song, Luo Ling, Duan Ping, and Duan Linger—all his good friends—were present.

"What, have your sequence assessments all finished?"

Seeing them, Li Fan couldn't help but ask with a smile.

More than a month ago, they had told him about their sequence assessments.

Since they now had time to look for him to chat, it was highly likely they had already concluded.

But upon hearing Li Fan's words,

The bright smiles on their faces gradually turned somewhat bitter.

"Uh, the situation isn't great?"

Seeing their expressions, Li Fan felt a bit helpless.

"Sigh, Brother Fan, don't even mention it. None of us from Wushan Seat selected for the plan made it into the top one hundred. I only ranked one hundred eighty-sixth. The strength of those guys is truly ridiculous!"

Peng Song waved his hand at this moment, looking slightly depressed.

"You're doing well; at least you made it into the top two hundred. We're all over two hundred, almost hitting three hundred."

Luo Ling sighed and shook his head, his eyes filled with disappointment.

Listening to their complaints, Li Fan scratched his head, feeling a bit embarrassed. It seemed he shouldn't have brought up the sequence assessment.

"Jiang Yunxu didn't get into the top one hundred either?"

Li Fan asked curiously at this moment.

He hadn't sparred with Jiang Yunxu, but he felt Jiang Yunxu was very strong.

Someone like Jiang Yunxu didn't even make the top one hundred?

Duan Linger shook her head. "He didn't either, ranking one hundred thirteenth. He should have had a chance to get in, but unfortunately, his luck wasn't very good."

Hearing this answer, Li Fan nodded, feeling slightly surprised in his heart.

It seemed the intensity at the Headquarters was much higher than he had imagined.

"Alright, let's talk about something happier. Brother Fan, how much longer until you arrive at the Headquarters?"

"Our assessments just ended, and we have a half-month rest period. We can spend some quality time together, welcome you, and later we can also help you familiarize yourself with the situation at the Headquarters."

"Oh, right, I can actually call over those compatriots from our Wushan Seat who are still in the preparatory group to hold a welcoming party for you. You have no idea how much they miss you!"

Peng Song changed the subject at this moment, a spark of excitement appearing on his face.

"Huh?"

Li Fan frowned and was momentarily stunned.

Miss him?

Seeing Li Fan's confused expression, Luo Ling explained with a smile.

"To put it plainly, it's because our batch of top talents hasn't lived up to expectations!

At the Headquarters, there's a hidden hierarchy of contempt. Those from the Supreme Seat Domains look down on us outsiders, and among us outsiders, we look down on those who are weak in strength and lack a representative figure.

You are the only one from Wushan Seat selected for the qingyun plan, equivalent to our face and confidence. As long as you remain in the qingyun plan, we will be much bolder when arguing with others!

So, those of us who came from Wushan Seat naturally want you to arrive at the Headquarters soon and make a stunning debut."

Duan Ping also chimed in: "Indeed. Now that the sequence assessment is over and they've seen the situation with our batch, they probably miss Brother Li Fan even more."

Hearing this,

Li Fan showed a strange expression, feeling even more amused. Good heavens, so that was the reason?!

Before Li Fan could speak,

Peng Song next to him took over the conversation. "Oh right, Brother Fan, your qingyun plan sequence assessment date has also been set. You should know, right?"

Li Fan nodded. "Yeah, I just found out."

"Brother Fan, I feel like you shouldn't put too much pressure on yourself. Those from the Supreme Seat Domains are all ruthless characters. They were born with silver spoons in their mouths, drinking all sorts of rare treasures like water.

As far as I know, in the qingyun plan, quite a few who are only seventeen or eighteen have already comprehended two strands of Law Power!" Peng Song's expression turned solemn, his words carrying a trace of emotion.

After Peng Song finished speaking, the others also spoke up one after another, giving Li Fan a preemptive warning.

After listening,

Li Fan was slightly astonished.

Seventeen or eighteen years old, Universe Level, two strands of Law Power.

A talent profile like that looked terrifying just by sight.

This was quite a bit stronger than Li Fan had anticipated!

However, it was still acceptable. Excluding age where Li Fan was slightly inferior, in all other aspects, he was not afraid at all.

But Li Fan didn't immediately explain his situation to Peng Song and the others; he just nodded along with their advice.

After all, the best way to prove himself wasn't by talking, but by doing!

When the assessment officially began, if he displayed his strength and made a stunning debut, then everything would naturally be explained.

And soon after,

After continuing to chat with Peng Song and the others and finalizing plans for their gathering, Li Fan logged off.

Taking a deep breath,

Li Fan slowly headed toward the recreational area of the spaceship.

As soon as he arrived at the recreational area, Li Fan's gaze was shaken by the scene in the distance.

Looking up,

Stars of various colors and sizes, spaceships, and massive facilities he had never seen before orbiting outside the stars, densely packed, blotting out the sky!

Li Fan's mind was currently occupied by one word: "Spectacular"!

This place was more prosperous and magnificent than anywhere Li Fan had ever seen!

Compared to this place, both Wushan Seat and Qiongwei Seat seemed so desolate and barren!

"Is this the Supreme Seat Domain?!"

Li Fan couldn't help but murmur, his eyes filled with excitement and anticipation.

But this questioning murmur filled with emotion was instantly doused with a bucket of cold water.

"This isn't it. This is just a slum nearby. But we will arrive soon."

At this moment, the Middle-aged Man from before walked up beside Li Fan and chuckled lightly.

"A slum?"

Hearing the man's words, Li Fan's eyes widened, and an expression of disbelief rose on his face.

Such a prosperous place was actually a slum?

If this was a slum, then their Wushan Seat...
