82: Chapter 82 The Great and Mighty He Wenguang?!

Hearing this news,

Zi Ming narrowed his eyes.

Two to three thousand people.

This intelligence seemed inconsistent with the team Li Fan was in.

Li Fan's side only seemed to have six or seven hundred, about seven or eight hundred people.

To expand to two or three thousand in such a short time, while possible, the probability wasn't very high.

"Whether it's Li Fan's group or not, we'll know when we get there!"

"Besides, maybe there's more than one Li Fan among the human geniuses!"

"Let's go!"

With a wave of his hand, Zi Ming's team sped rapidly toward the southwest.

And that team was naturally not the one Li Fan belonged to.

It was the team where He Wenguang and the others were!

...

Meanwhile, on He Wenguang's side.

"Brother Wenguang, where exactly are we going now? How about we rest here for a bit first?"

A Student with a simple and honest appearance looked at He Wenguang and couldn't help but ask.

This question was actually what the other Students wanted to ask.

Although morale had soared after killing that Transcendent Rank alien race member,

they had been ordered to keep moving to kill the next wave of Oceanic Alien Race members without much rest, which was genuinely tiring; everyone wanted a temporary respite.

However, He Wenguang, who possessed the Transcendent Rank explosion talisman, was their tentatively designated leader, so they could only listen to him.

When He Wenguang heard this person's words, his expression immediately turned cold.

"Rest?"

"Do you know that every second in the Secret Realm, our compatriots could be brutally murdered by these alien races?"

"They might all be waiting for us to arrive!"

"For every second we rest, a compatriot might die. Do you think we can rest?!"

He Wenguang's words immediately made many people feel ashamed.

Yun Ming and Luo Chen, who were nearby, felt the same way.

Originally, they thought He Wenguang was completely inconsiderate of everyone and was trying to be a dictator, relying on his Transcendent Rank explosion talisman.

But once these words came out,

ultimately, their perspective was too narrow.

Outside the Secret Realm,

He Wenguang's words also made many people feel profound respect.

"This He Wenguang is not bad!"

"Indeed, to think along these lines, he's truly a good person. It's a great thing for our Great Xia to have such a young genius."

"He Wenguang is awesome!"

"What vision!"

"I've decided, besides being a fan of Li Fan, I'm going to be a fan of He Wenguang too!"

...

Even He Wenguang's instructor, Fire God, watching this scene now, felt quite gratified.

He was worthy of being his Student.

This sense of responsibility destined He Wenguang to be a future pillar of the Great Xia!

The only ones who found it a bit strange were Lu Qilai and the others in the vehicle at this moment.

For a petty person like He Wenguang,

they didn't believe he could suddenly transform into someone so glorious and majestic in just over ten days.

However, strange as it was, at least there was nothing overtly wrong with what He Wenguang had said.

Returning focus to the team,

after He Wenguang finished speaking,

many in the team who had felt extremely exhausted now started injecting themselves with adrenaline. As the 'saviors' of the other Students, they had to race against time and could not rest!

And watching the team regain its vitality,

He Wenguang was genuinely thrilled inside.

Those words just now were naturally not what he felt from the bottom of his heart.

Saving people or not saving people?

He wanted to find Li Fan quickly!

Now that he was the leader of this massive team, if he could encounter Li Fan and have Li Fan join, he could use his authority to command Li Fan to do the most dangerous tasks.

If Li Fan refused, he could easily resort to moral blackmail!

When the time came for Li Fan to fight the alien race, he could then strategically use the explosion talisman to enter the fray and eliminate both Li Fan and the alien race!

This could perfectly fabricate a scene of accidental collateral damage.

He could kill Li Fan and gain prestige at the same time.

Of course,

Li Fan might have already been killed by the alien race.

After all, there were quite a few Transcendent Rank members among the alien races.

If Li Fan had bad luck and encountered one, he would most likely be finished.

But if that were the case, it would be too much of a pity; he had wanted to personally deal with Li Fan.

Apart from the matter concerning Li Fan,

there was another reason, and that was the seed program!

In the current situation, getting selected for the seed program based on points was basically impossible.

Therefore, the selection committee members would most likely screen based on their performance within the Secret Realm.

As long as he firmly held onto his current leadership position,

his selection for the program would be a sure thing once they got out!

He Wenguang was thinking this when,

suddenly, a frantic Student rushed over from ahead.

"Brother Guang, there are alien races! Quite a few of them!"

"It looks like at least seven or eight hundred, maybe even a thousand!"

This Student was the one sent out ahead to scout.

Hearing this news,

Yun Ming and Luo Chen both looked towards He Wenguang.

He Wenguang frowned.

Seven or eight hundred, a thousand?

That number was quite large!

The largest group of alien races they had encountered before was only a few hundred at most.

This number was a first.

Based on previous experience, such a massive group usually had a Transcendent Rank member holding the fort.

"Should we change direction?"

Yun Ming asked at this moment.

Hearing this, He Wenguang hesitated for a moment, his gaze sweeping over the Students behind him.

"Forget it, we won't change!"

"Since we aim to save other Students, we will eventually run into these alien races. At worst, we'll fight them head-on!"

"As the saying goes, if I don't enter hell, who will? If we can take down this large batch of alien races, we can save more compatriots!"

He Wenguang took a deep breath and said solemnly, showing no intention of changing direction.

In truth, he wanted to run.

But who told them they had made such bold declarations not long ago?

If he led the team away now, wouldn't the persona he had painstakingly built collapse?

He wanted to take a gamble!

A gamble that this group of alien races had no Transcendent Rank members, or perhaps only one!

If he won the gamble, achieving another great victory, his prestige would leap forward significantly once more!

And if he lost the gamble,

then he would only be able to fight symbolically and see if he could find an opportunity to escape.

After all, if their actual strength wasn't enough, the examiners for the seed program wouldn't have much to say.

Listening to He Wenguang's words,

Yun Ming and Luo Chen couldn't help but look grim.

He Wenguang indeed had great vision and a strong sense of responsibility; they admired that.

However, they felt that directly choosing to clash head-on with so many alien races, especially when the enemy's combat strength was unknown, was too reckless.

But since He Wenguang possessed the Transcendent Rank explosion talisman, they couldn't say much.

And so,

the group continued to advance mightily toward the front.

As the group moved forward,

after about ten minutes,

the figures of the alien race team appeared before He Wenguang and the others.

And that team was naturally the other group—the one Zi Ming belonged to!
