437: Chapter 437 Li Fan's Nostalgia!
Back at the live broadcast venue...
The footage of Di Chuan's battle had just been displayed for all the spectators to see.
The cheers in the venue at this moment were practically tsunami-like.
"Hiss!"
"What a terrifying secret art! He eliminated that prodigy with Three Strands of Law Power in just two moves!"
"Is this Di Chuan?! Truly formidable!"
"Indeed! Too strong! The fight ended almost the instant it began—so fast I didn't even get a clear look at the face of the eliminated prodigy. Which unlucky young master from a top-tier faction was that?"
"I didn't see clearly either, only a back view. He looked quite disheveled."
"This guy is too cowardly. He at least possesses Three Strands of Law Power. At first, I thought his Law Power flaring meant he was going to fight desperately, but he actually fled!"
"Perhaps Di Chuan's pressure was just too overwhelming. The technique he used just now was probably the Di Family's White Void Curse. Its power is terrifying!"
"A top-tier prodigy who has comprehended Three Strands of Law Power didn't even have a chance to resist when facing Di Chuan. Di Chuan's presence here is simply beyond the scale. The victor this time is bound to be Lingxu Company!"
"Speaking of which, what about that Li Fan? The one who claimed he would crush all the prodigies of Spirit Ruins? Why haven't we seen him?"
"Right, I almost forgot about him. Why hasn't Li Fan been spotted? Could he have already been eliminated?"
...
From these exclamations of astonishment, it was clear enough...
...just how much Di Chuan's displayed combat prowess had shocked them.
Moreover, this wasn't even Di Chuan's full power.
For a moment...
...many who had previously bet that Lingxu Company would be the winning side this time were ecstatic.
With a terrifying existence like Di Chuan on Spirit Ruins's side, they simply couldn't imagine how Spirit Ruins could possibly lose?!
And then...
...while marveling at Di Chuan's terrifying strength...
...the spectators quickly thought of Li Fan.
If we talk about the prodigies with the highest buzz before the Hunting Assembly began...
...one was Di Chuan, and the other, without a doubt, was Li Fan!
The phrase 'I will crush everyone' from Li Fan's post still made them chuckle whenever they saw it.
Now, Di Chuan had already shown his strength.
But as for Li Fan...
...there was currently no news of him at all.
At this moment, many people were constantly searching for any trace of Li Fan.
And soon...
...following a surprised exclamation...
...someone had indeed found Li Fan.
"Look over there! That seems to be Li Fan, right?!"
The spectators followed the gaze.
In a corner of the screen...
...a young man was sitting cross-legged on the back of a massive, turtle-shaped Chaos Fierce Beast with an aura around Universe Level Six. In one hand, he held a huge beast leg, while flames danced in his other hand. He was intently controlling the heat, roasting the leg with a look of professional focus that also appeared quite bizarre.
As for his flying shuttle, it was parked to the side.
And this young man was none other than Li Fan!
It wasn't that Li Fan was slacking off.
The Hunting Assembly lasted a full month. He wouldn't be eating for *that* long—time was very plentiful.
Grilling some meat to soothe a bit of homesickness, filling up before getting to work—that's perfectly reasonable, right?!
Of course...
...this scene, in the eyes of the spectators, was utterly unreasonable!
"It does seem to be Li Fan. I've seen his videos online; he looks like that."
"It's definitely Li Fan, but... what is he doing?!"
"Huh???!"
"Am I seeing things? Is he... barbecuing meat?"
"No way. Everyone else is locked in fierce combat with the fierce beasts, fighting intensely, and this Li Fan is here grilling meat?"
"Didn't he say he was going to crush everyone on Spirit Ruins's side? And instead, he's pulling this stunt?"
"Nonsense! It seems Li Fan was truly bluffing! Looking at him, he doesn't seem like he's here for a competition at all!"
"Is this Li Fan? Not up to par. I even feel like he might be a bit mentally unstable!"
"Hahaha, what a joker!"
"Hey, is no one noticing? How did Li Fan get this savage Chaos Fierce Beast to carry him around?"
...
That's right.
In the eyes of the spectators...
...Li Fan's current actions were simply too outrageous!
They had seen some prodigies who weren't in a hurry to kill the beasts, but none as unhurried as Li Fan!
Not going all out to hunt the beasts was one thing, but to actually start barbecuing?!
Is he here on vacation?
However, one piece of information they did manage to grasp...
...was that Li Fan most likely truly lacked real strength!
If he really had the ability, he would have gone on a rampage like Di Chuan and the others long ago!
"Brother Fan is truly composed!"
In a corner of the venue, Peng Song and the Wushan Seat Group Members watched the situation, unable to help feeling both amused and exasperated.
Because this scene was not unfamiliar to them at all. During the previous Inheritance Competition, Li Fan had been this leisurely.
However, the Hunting Assembly was no child's play, and Li Fan was under such intense scrutiny.
Under these circumstances, Li Fan still acted this way, showing an almost excessive level of calm.
But based on their understanding of Li Fan...
...the calmer Li Fan was, the more reassured they felt!
Because that meant Li Fan undoubtedly possessed absolute confidence backing him up.
So, despite the loud jeers in the arena now, they didn't show much emotional reaction.
Let the bullet fly a little longer.
...
On the spacecraft outside the hunting grounds...
...the high-ranking members from both sides, having cooled down after their earlier dispute, now also had their eyes fixed on the screen showing Li Fan.
Seeing Li Fan leisurely barbecuing like this...
...the several mentors from Cosmic Cloud Company, led by Tai Fang, were completely dumbfounded.
That's right.
They couldn't understand why Li Fan would do such a thing either.
Li Fan was already a Universe Level cultivator. At that level, one should have long since lost any significant desire for food. Even if one ate, it would only be during leisurely, idle moments, not at a tense and grand occasion like the Hunting Assembly.
"What on earth is this kid doing?"
Tai Fang frowned, unable to stop himself from muttering softly.
He was aware of Li Fan's strength. While Li Fan might not necessarily be able to defeat Di Chuan, he should have no major problems dealing with anyone else.
So, it wasn't that Li Fan was trying to escape or hide by barbecuing here.
Moreover, Li Fan was definitely not the type to back down from a challenge!
The other mentors beside him were also full of question marks, completely baffled.
However, it was normal that they couldn't comprehend Li Fan's homesickness.
"Hahahaha, is this your so-called promising seedling, Li Fan? Perhaps he has some skill, but isn't this just too unprofessional?"
"Exactly! Could it be he's scared? Hiding out here on purpose?!"
On the other side, the Spirit Ruins group seized the opportunity and couldn't help but laugh heartily, continuing their mockery.
In response...
...Tai Fang and the others could only grit their teeth and remain silent, offering no retort.
Endure!
Endure for now!
Wait until the moment Li Fan makes his move, then they would respond with expressions a hundred times more arrogant!
