435: Chapter 435 The Hunting Tournament Begins!

"After waiting for so long, this Hunting Assembly is finally about to start!"

"Place your bets! Place your bets! Bet on who will be the victor of this Hunting Assembly!"

"That has to be the Lingxu Company side! With Di Chuan alone, I feel like they have already won by more than half!"

"Indeed, Di Chuan is a prodigy from the Hidden Family. Rumor has it he has already grasped four wisps of Law Power; his strength is terrifyingly immense! Moreover, apart from Di Chuan, Ma Zhong and Wang Yunteng from Lingxu's talent plan are not weak at all. The advantage for Lingxu Company this time is truly huge!"

"Cosmic Cloud Company has been the winner of the Hunting Assembly six times in a row. It's time for someone else this time!"

"Pfft, Lingxu Company has Di Chuan, but doesn't Cosmic Cloud Company have Li Fan? That Li Fan claimed he would utterly crush everyone from Lingxu. Aren't you going to bet on Cosmic Cloud Company winning?"

"Hahahaha! Him? A mere fledgling from the Outer Seat Domain dares to boast about crushing the second-generation elites of these super-factions? That's just wishful thinking!"

"Exactly. Does he just say 'crush' and it happens? I could claim I can crush all the geniuses in the universe! He's just all talk, trying to steal the spotlight here. Once they are in the hunting ground, his true colors will show!"

"But isn't Li Fan said to be ranked first in Cosmic Cloud Company's Sequence Assessment? His strength shouldn't be weak, right?"

"That's just hearsay, okay? Cosmic Cloud Company's official side has never stated this in any official capacity. That news is probably just a baseless rumor started by someone!"

"Come to think of it, that makes sense. A bumpkin from the Outer Seat Domain, winning first place in Cosmic Cloud Company's Sequence Assessment—are they writing a wish-fulfillment novel here?"

"Since you all think Lingxu will win, I'll bet on Cosmic Cloud this time. Let's go big!"

...

The populace of the two Supreme Seat Domains had almost completely filled the entire venue. Looking out, it was a dense, spectacular sight.

What the populace was currently discussing was the age-old topic.

That is, which of the two great factions would secure victory.

From the words of the populace, it was clear.

They generally leaned toward Lingxu Company.

Although Cosmic Cloud Company had been the victor of the Hunting Assembly for six consecutive sessions, their younger generation lacked a genius as outstanding as Di Chuan this time, so their winning prospects were noticeably weaker.

And although Cosmic Cloud Company had Li Fan, who boasted he would crush everyone from Lingxu.

In the eyes of the populace, Li Fan's strength was questionable and likely fabricated, merely a rumor, thus it couldn't be counted on.

In a corner of the venue.

Peng Song, Luo Ling, and the other Wushan Seat Group Members were present.

Listening to the surrounding populace's prejudices against Li Fan.

The group's expressions were extremely grim.

Peng Song, with his fiery temper, even led the Wushan Seat members in a shouting match with the surrounding crowd.

If not for the more composed Duan Ping stepping in to mediate, the cursing match likely wouldn't have stopped anytime soon.

"These bastards actually said Brother Fan's first-place sequence ranking is fake? Do they even have brains?"

"And they called Brother Fan a jumping clown? If Brother Fan is a clown, what kind of creeping species are they? Bah!"

Peng Song was still furious, still ranting, but fortunately, Duan Ping had already muffled Peng Song's voice.

At this moment, Duan Ping and the others in the Wushan Seat were also holding back their anger.

But they knew.

Arguing with people now served no purpose.

"Brother Song, let's not rush. Whether Brother Fan has the strength or not, they will naturally know once the Hunting Assembly begins!" Luo Ling said at this time, his eyes filled with determination.

Hearing this, all the Wushan Seat Group Members nodded in unison.

Indeed, the only way to reverse these prejudiced remarks from the populace was for Li Fan to prove his strength and slap their faces!

And just like Peng Song and the others, Li Daguo, Gu Ling, and a group of family and friends were also closely watching the Hunting Assembly.

Generally, people from the Outer Seat Domain had little access to view major events in the Supreme Seat Domains.

However, as Li Fan's family, they did have the privilege.

Arriving at the venue and seeing the densely packed figures and the incomparably magnificent scene, Li Daguo and the others were so shocked that they barely noticed what the populace was saying. Their hearts were only focused on cheering for Li Fan, with no other thoughts whatsoever.

...

Meanwhile, on the other side.

On the spaceship.

The Students from both sides had already chosen their shuttles, all fully prepared, just waiting for the spaceship to arrive.

"Brother Fan, it seems our entry points are slightly different, so it might be difficult to rush over and help you immediately."

"Big Brother, when we get to the hunting ground, remember to send me your location so I can find you!"

"It's about to start. Contact me if you need anything; I'll help as much as I can."

On the main deck of the Cosmic Cloud Company spaceship, Golden Flash Bear, Wu Chen, and Jiang Yunxu were all slightly turned, quietly communicating with Li Fan via voice transmission.

Although the Students were piloting the shuttles into the hunting ground themselves, not using a teleportation array for random entry.

The ship's deployment points for them were different, relatively scattered, making it almost the same as random entry.

So, even though the shuttles had communication and positioning devices, if the distance was too great, even with a shuttle, it would take a certain amount of time to rush over for support.

Li Fan did not refuse their concern.

"Mhm, I'll call if I need anything. But you all should focus on acquiring points first. That hunting ground is huge; it won't be easy for them to find me either."

Hearing this, the three nodded.

However, from the three's view of Li Fan's incomparably calm expression, they could tell that Li Fan was just placating them and had no intention of asking for their help.

Given this, they couldn't say much. If Li Fan was determined not to let them help, the hunting ground was so vast that they would essentially have a hard time finding Li Fan.

Since that was the case, they could only look after themselves first.

And soon.

As time passed.

Far in the distance, the full appearance of the Zhou Tian Hunting Ground finally came into everyone's sight.

Looking from afar, it was an indistinct mass of chaos, resembling a giant cotton ball—its scope was so vast it seemed like a wall, blocking the entire space ahead.

"In five minutes, the spaceship will enter the hunting ground. Deployment will begin on schedule. All Students, please board your shuttles and wait at the designated deployment location!"

At this moment.

A broadcast sounded on both sides' spaceships.

Instantly.

All Students on both sides subconsciously held their breath, excitement flickering in their eyes.

Soon.

As both spaceships sailed into the hunting ground's cloud mass.

Deployment officially began!

On the decks of both spaceships, the furious roars of the respective team leaders rang out.

"Go! Go crush all those whelps from Lingxu Company!"

"Remember! If you encounter anyone from Cosmic Cloud, attack immediately! Treat them like ferocious beasts!"

...
