494: Chapter 494 A New Record!

Such a scene.

It was enough to make everyone outside the arena feel their hearts pounding, their scalps tingling, and be utterly shocked to the extreme!

Li Fan's punch was simply too terrifying!

Other challengers, even Venerable Wuji, could at most leave a mark on the surface of this Sacred Mountain.

But Li Fan.

He had actually, with brute force, split the very plane of the Sacred Mountain in two!

This was simply too unbelievable!

Had we not seen it with our own eyes just now, it would be completely impossible to believe!

"This... how is this possible?!"

"Li Fan actually shattered the Sacred Mountain with a single punch!"

"No! Am I seeing things? It cracked?!"

"Hiss! What kind of monster is this Li Fan?!"

"This... does this mean Li Fan has already broken the Extreme Realm of Strength record, set by Venerable Wuji, and become the new Record Holder?!"

"Judging by the current situation, it seems so!"

"Too incredible! Does this mean Li Fan's attainment in the Great Dao of Strength has already surpassed Venerable Wuji's?!"

"Whether his attainment surpasses him or not is unknown, but in terms of pure power at the Domain Lord First Order stage, Li Fan's strength has indeed surpassed Venerable Wuji's!"

"My goodness! Are we witnessing history?!"

...

Exclamations of shock now resounded throughout the entire universe.

Li Fan did not act lightly, but once he did, he immediately shook the heavens with a single feat!

Just moments ago, many among the populace were still thinking that Li Fan most likely regretted choosing to challenge this Extreme Realm of Strength.

However.

With this punch from Li Fan.

Not only could he leave his name on the Sacred Mountain, he directly shattered Tai Wuji's record!

This was simply the fastest possible slap in the face!

But whether it was a slap in the face or not was no longer important.

Because the majority of the populace were still immersed in unparalleled shock.

And, for a while, they most likely wouldn't be able to recover.

On the other side.

At this moment, the reactions of the high-level figures from various major forces aboard the starships at the periphery of the star domain weren't much better than those of the ordinary people.

"This... a record broken?!"

"Hiss! As expected of Cosmic Cloud Company's discerning eye, his strength is truly terrifying!"

"Cosmic Cloud Company's eye for talent is indeed accurate. This Li Fan came and directly broke the record right off the bat!"

"He actually broke the record. Doesn't that mean Li Fan has essentially locked in first place for this grand event?"

"If no one else can break the record later, then yes, you could say first place is locked."

"To be able to break Venerable Wuji's record, this young man's future is limitless!"

...

They clearly hadn't anticipated that Li Fan would directly break the Extreme Realm of Strength record either.

Regarding this, the only psychological comfort they could find was attributing it to Cosmic Cloud Company's sharp eye for talent.

Could someone chosen by Cosmic Cloud Company be anything less?

However, no amount of reasoning could soothe the pressure in their hearts.

Because now that Li Fan had broken the record,

that also meant

if no one else could break the record later,

then it would be almost impossible to catch up to Li Fan.

Li Fan would lock in first place early!

And today was only the first day.

Li Fan had practically overshadowed all the brilliance of the prodigies from their own clans.

...

"Li Fan!"

"He... broke the record?!"

Tai Fang and the other few instructors now wore expressions of shock and disbelief.

They had never, ever expected.

that Li Fan's combat power in the Great Dao of Strength would be so formidable!

Not only could he leave his name, he even directly broke the Extreme Realm of Strength record!

While the few of them were shocked, what followed was ecstatic joy.

"It seems our understanding of Li Fan still isn't deep enough!"

"Indeed, who would have thought his attainment in the Great Dao of Strength was so terrifying!"

"It's settled! Li Fan is settled! Barring any accidents, first place is in the bag!"

Tai Fang and the others exclaimed now, extremely excited.

Originally, their expectations for Li Fan weren't actually that high.

But now, Li Fan had directly given them a huge surprise!

This was so far beyond their expectations that for a moment, they didn't know how to describe their feelings.

As for Li Fan himself,

Li Fan had now retracted his fist, putting distance between himself and the plane of the Sacred Mountain.

Looking at the Sacred Mountain he had shattered with a single punch, Li Fan guessed he had probably broken the record.

And indeed it was so.

After just a few breaths,

the shattered plane of the Sacred Mountain before him vanished, and everything before his eyes returned to its original state.

The only change was in the text of the Extreme Realm of Strength.

[Extreme Realm of Strength:

Record Holder: Li Fan!

Names Left: Tai Wuji, Wu Tian, Feng Lingxiong...]

That's right.

Now, the Record Holder of the Extreme Realm of Strength had changed hands, becoming Li Fan's name.

Gazing at his name inscribed above, Li Fan felt joy in his heart, without excessive surprise.

Earlier, when he observed the phantom images of the ten senior prodigies before him, each was indeed formidably strong.

But if compared to him, the gap was still quite considerable.

After all, his hidden talent of gaining attribute points through training wasn't for nothing!

If he didn't have this talent, perhaps he would only be about on par with Tai Wuji at best.

But unfortunately, he was a cut above.

Afterwards, Li Fan immediately checked his point situation.

Previously, he had obtained a total of over 670,000 points.

After deducting the 500,000 used for the challenge, he had over 170,000 left.

Now, having successfully broken a record, his points directly increased by one hundred million!

Therefore, Li Fan's current points had already reached one hundred million, ten thousand, and seventeen thousand!

However, there was an additional note attached.

[Name: Li Fan

Affiliation: Cosmic Cloud Company

Points: 100,010,017 (100,000,000 Sacred Mountain points, cannot be used to initiate Sacred Mountain Challenges)]

The meaning of this note was very straightforward.

It meant that the one hundred million points from breaking the record could not be used to initiate the next Sacred Mountain Challenge.

To initiate the next one, he would need to continue hunting fierce beasts outside, obtaining over 500,000 points, and use those points to initiate it.

"I didn't expect there to be such a rule."

Looking at this note, Li Fan couldn't help but find it both funny and frustrating.

He had originally thought that with this one hundred million points, he wouldn't need to go out again and could directly try all the projects here.

Now it seemed the designer had long been aware of this potential loophole and had fixed it in advance.

But this wasn't really a big problem.

With the methods for obtaining points he currently mastered,

500,000 points would be a piece of cake, wouldn't it?

Just as Li Fan was pondering this in his heart,

a voice gradually sounded in his mind.

"You have completed the Sacred Mountain Challenge. In ten seconds, you will return to the teleportation point!"

"The cooldown time for the Sacred Mountain Challenge is three days!"
