404: Chapter 404 Li Fan is ranked number one by a wide margin?!

Before long.

The leaderboard status was refreshed and synchronized.

While the various Contestants in the secret realm checked it immediately,

the Students in the external virtual venue also began checking right away.

"Brother Fan, where is Brother Fan ranked? It shouldn't be very low, right?"

Peng Song and the rest of the Wushan Seat Group Members held their breath, their expressions extremely solemn as they slowly opened the points ranking board, their hearts filled with constant speculation.

Although Li Fan had been blocking the catacombs for three full days, maximizing his killing efficiency, it was highly unlikely his points ranking would be low.

But it was precisely because they had focused too much attention on Li Fan over these three days that they hadn't paid any attention to the other Students at all.

Perhaps among the other Students, there were also very stunning existences?

And soon.

As the points ranking board opened and they found Li Fan's name, everyone breathed a sigh of relief, some even letting out cries of surprise.

"First! Brother Fan is first!"

"That's right! Brother Fan is first! And it seems to be a massive lead!"

“Hiss! It's in the bag! It's in the bag! Brother Fan is set!"

"Big Brother is so damn fierce!"

The Wushan Seat Group Members and Wu Chen were all incredibly excited right now, their cheers echoing throughout the venue.

The other Students in the venue were also full of surprise after noticing Li Fan was ranked first.

However, they soon nodded silently.

Thinking back on Li Fan's actions over the past three days...

It would actually be unreasonable if Li Fan didn't take first place!

Having blocked the catacombs for three consecutive days, the number of fierce beasts Li Fan had killed was likely more than what those other Students had even seen!

"Li Fan's points look very impressive! If this continues, the top fifteen is definitely guaranteed!"

"More than just the top fifteen? This is a massive lead, okay?"

"Indeed, the higher-ups probably didn't anticipate that there would be a Divine Illusionist among the Students, and such a strong one at that. Li Fan is simply a bug!"

"If that's the case, does it mean Xu Yuntong took a beating for nothing?"

The Students in the venue couldn't help but voice their thoughts at this moment.

Li Fan's points situation was truly within reason, because his ability as a Divine Illusionist was just too buggy in this environment!

While the people outside felt Li Fan's point total was within reason,

the various qingyun plan Students inside the secret realm were all completely dumbfounded.

"First: Li Fan, Points: 118,020"

"Second: Han Luo, Points: 51,235"

"Third: Sang Yuening, Points: 45,125"

..."

On the leaderboard,

the name in the first position was very familiar to them, but looking at it was ridiculous to the extreme.

"It's him? Li Fan!"

"This Li Fan is first!"

"Over a hundred and eighteen thousand points! How on earth did this guy do it?"

"Over a hundred and ten thousand... he's actually leading the second place, Han Luo, by double the points!"

The Contestants' eyes were all wide open, and some even refreshed multiple times, wanting to see if they had misread it.

But no matter how they refreshed, Li Fan's name was indeed in the first place, with a cliff-like lead in points!

They were naturally aware of Li Fan's name, but for Li Fan's name to appear in first place with such exaggerated points!

This was somewhat unacceptable to them!

Now on the leaderboard, it had been divided into four tiers. The first tier was Li Fan; he was in a tier of his own.

The second tier consisted of Han Luoyunyang and the subsequent dozen or so geniuses who also possessed extraordinary strength.

The third tier was some geniuses with points around twenty thousand.

The final tier was the outer domain geniuses represented by Golden Flash Bear. Their points, excluding Li Fan, hadn't even broken the ten thousand mark at the highest!

"Impossible! Absolutely impossible! I must be lagging! Li Fan's points must have accidentally had an extra digit added!"

If one were to say who found Li Fan's massive lead the most unbelievable and hardest to accept,

it would naturally be Xu Yuntong!

At this moment, Xu Yuntong's eyes were wide as he frantically refreshed the leaderboard, attempting to prove that Li Fan's points were not in first place.

But no matter how he refreshed,

Li Fan's points of over a hundred and ten thousand remained unchanged and were even constantly rising!

Ultimately, Xu Yuntong could only accept this fact.

"This guy must have cheated! Otherwise, how could he possibly surpass Han Luo and the others?!"

At this point, he began to try to convince himself from another angle.

Actually, it was no wonder; after all, his points were currently only over fifteen thousand, ranking only in the lower reaches of the third tier.

The gap between him and Li Fan was simply too large!

Moreover, with Li Fan's current momentum, there was a high probability he would secure a spot in the top fifteen in the end.

This meant Li Fan would remain in the qingyun plan, and that beating he took was purely for nothing!

On the other side, Fang Jun, who had also been beaten by Li Fan before, was now also full of disbelief.

However, compared to Xu Yuntong, he was much calmer. Although he also questioned the authenticity of Li Fan's points, he had more trust in the Cosmic Cloud Company's fairness.

The current situation only indicated one thing to him.

And that was, from now on, he absolutely must not provoke this Li Fan again!

"Holy cow! Brother Fan's points are in first place? Am I seeing this right?"

Seeing Li Fan's points in first place, Golden Flash Bear's eyes were also glowing with disbelief.

He knew the strength was very high, but it shouldn't be to that extent, right?

Could it be that Li Fan used a cheat?

Thinking of this, Golden Flash Bear wanted to cry but had no tears.

If Li Fan really had a cheat, it would be great if he could let him use it too.

These three days, he had truly lived a miserable life!

It was bad enough that his points were currently at the bottom tier.

Now he was even blocked at a narrow cave entrance by over a dozen Universe Level seven-stage fierce beasts!

That's right.

He was currently hiding in a narrow crevice of a mountain cave with extreme frustration, completely unable to escape.

As soon as he showed his head, those dozen or so Universe Level seven-stage fierce beasts would charge at the cave entrance like mad dogs.

Li Fan was blocking the catacombs.

While he was being blocked by the fierce beasts!

...

"This person's points are more than double mine. How did he do it?"

In a corner of the secret realm.

Han Luo was hiding atop a giant tree, silently checking the leaderboard.

Seeing himself being surpassed by Li Fan, he couldn't help but frown slightly.

Amidst his surprise and astonishment, he immediately began to ponder the reason.

He didn't believe Li Fan's strength was above his own.

So in his view, the reason Li Fan's points could be so high must be because he used some clever method!

If he could also find such a way, then his points could certainly overtake Li Fan in a very short time, and even open up a gap with him.

But after thinking for a long time, Han Luo still couldn't think of any clever method.

"With so many points, he must have killed a lot of fierce beasts. To encounter so many beasts and kill them all..."

Han Luo murmured softly.

Suddenly, a flash of inspiration hit him.

"Catacombs! This guy must have gone to block the catacombs!"

That's it.

Han Luo narrowed his eyes as he spoke his suspicion aloud.

During this time, he had been hunting fierce beasts almost every moment without any rest. If Li Fan were the same as him, it would be impossible to surpass him, let alone pull away by so many points.

So it seemed there was no other possibility besides Li Fan going to block the catacombs!

"This guy is truly interesting!"

A slight smile curled at the corners of Han Luo's mouth.

He had actually thought about whether to block the catacombs before.

However, his thoughts were the same as Ji Can's earlier; the level changes of the fierce beasts coming out of the catacombs in each wave were hard to predict. Adopting the method of blocking the catacombs would be very risky, and if he were targeted and ambushed by other Students during the intervals, he would very likely be eliminated!

Blocking the catacombs required not only sufficient strength but also sufficient courage!

This Li Fan clearly had both.

Then, after Han Luo took a deep breath, a look of determination appeared in his eyes.

The next second.

Han Luo sped off directly toward the nearest catacombs.

Exactly!

Since even Li Fan dared to go block the catacombs,

then what did he have to fear?!

And if he didn't go, his points would likely be pulled further and further away by Li Fan!

Being surpassed by a grassroots genius from an Outer Seat Domain...

That was something he could not accept!

And looking at the other side...

If one had a god's-eye view, they would surely discover...

That such an absurd behavior as blocking the catacombs was not only being started by Han Luo,

but many geniuses from the Supreme Seat Domain had actually started it as well!

Like Han Luo, they were all heading toward the catacombs nearest to them!

That's right.

They had all guessed the reason why Li Fan's points were so high.

Since Li Fan had this courage,

then how could they not?

If their points were ultimately crushed by a kid from an Outer Seat Domain like this, wouldn't they be ridiculed by everyone else in those major power talent plans when word got out?
