Chapter 254: The Assessment Ends

In the Secret Realm…

Xiao Fan, along with three women, was currently eating grilled fish by the lake…

Xiao Fan felt quite helpless about this…

The idea of eating grilled fish naturally did not come from him.

It was Hu Rui.

The group's victory points were already sufficient, and most of the remaining Disciples in the Secret Realm had already gone into hiding.

Searching everywhere would be meaningless, so Hu Rui suggested that the group improve their meal.

After all, for the past few days in the Secret Realm, everyone had been eating food brought in from their Storage Pouch.

It must be said that the fish in the Secret Realm was truly excellent; the meat was fresh and delicious, and very tasty.

The four of them ate with great satisfaction, and what surprised Xiao Fan greatly was…

He had originally thought that Hu Rui and Qiao Rong might eat a lot, but it turned out that Nangong Lingxuan ate the most.

Even more than he did…

Because of this, Xiao Fan specifically took a few more looks at Nangong Lingxuan, and what he received in return was naturally an eye roll and the word "Lecher" from her!

"I say, I just looked at you a few more times, and I'm a Lecher? I don't believe that no other man has ever looked at you besides me."

Xiao Fan scoffed. Since there was nothing else to do at the moment, he decided to bicker with Nangong Lingxuan.

Nangong Lingxuan glared at him without saying a word…

Naturally, there were some, but very few.

Because those with lustful hearts generally wouldn't brazenly stare at her.

And those who had the guts to act on such lust were generally very weak in strength.

Furthermore, with her background in the Nangong Family, even those with high cultivation had to be wary…

"Is the Secret Realm about to end soon?"

Hu Rui pursed her lips at this moment.

Qiao Rong remained silent on the side, lost in thought.

Just then, everyone's bodies were suddenly shrouded in light…

The group looked at each other, knowing that the Secret Realm had come to an end.

"Whoosh"…

Xiao Fan felt his mind go blank for an instant, and when he opened his eyes again, the surrounding scene had already changed.

"Are we back?"

Xiao Fan whispered. He had already returned to the area outside the Outer Sect main hall, right where he had been before entering the Secret Realm.

He scanned his surroundings; Nangong Lingxuan, Hu Rui, and Qiao Rong were standing by his side, also observing their surroundings.

"The Secret Realm has ended," Hu Rui smiled, joy appearing on her face.

The others nodded, their faces also filled with joy.

Relying on their victory points, they could not only steadily enter the Inner Sect but had also placed in the top ten, gaining the opportunity to enter the Marrow Cleansing Pool.

Xiao Fan continued to look around and found that the number of people was far, far fewer than when they had entered, with currently less than four hundred remaining…

Suddenly, Xiao Fan felt he was being targeted by several resentful gazes, which were filled with intense Killing Intent!

Following the gazes, the person with the most intense Killing Intent was none other than Ji Bofeng!

Seeing Xiao Fan, Ji Bofeng's eyes were practically popping out of his sockets…

He was so angry that he gnashed his teeth… He wanted to make a move to kill Xiao Fan right then and there, but unfortunately, he didn't dare to act.

Xiao Fan had ambushed him, causing him to be heavily injured…

And he had even let Xie Lei escape!!

Xie Lei must have had many victory points; Ji Bofeng knew this without even thinking, yet Xie Lei had actually managed to escape…

It would be strange if he were willing to accept that.

However, after exiting the Secret Realm, Ji Bofeng did not see any sign of Xie Lei.

He had previously thought that Xie Lei was definitely in cahoots with Xiao Fan…

But where was he?

Where was the other person?

Among the gazes filled with hatred toward Xiao Fan, there was also Yu Liang…

He was currently in a wretched state. On the last day, his tracks had been discovered by Ji Bofeng, and he had been chased and beaten non-stop!

He hadn't dared to stop at all, having no other choice but to run…

And all of this was the good work of Xiao Fan and the others.

Among them, Xiao Fan also saw Rao Xiong.

This person was one of the three experts at the first layer of the Tongtian Realm they had encountered after initially entering the Secret Realm.

He had been directly defeated by Xiao Fan…

Even Xiao Fan was a bit surprised, not expecting to meet him here.

Xiao Fan shrugged, ignored them, and continued to scan the surroundings. He found that Senior Brother Yang Qi, Senior Brother Ren Hao, and the others were actually there too.

This stunned him for a moment.

With their cultivation, they had actually persisted until the end?

Even Xiao Fan himself found it hard to believe.

Senior Brother Yang Qi, Senior Brother Ren Hao, and the others noticed Xiao Fan's gaze and immediately cast grateful looks at him.

If they had walked with Xiao Fan right after entering the Secret Realm, they probably would have been eliminated on the first day.

After Xiao Fan left, this group of people had kept hiding on the outskirts of the Secret Realm.

Senior Brother Yang Qi and Senior Brother Ren Hao both had cultivation at the Half-step Tongtian Realm.

With the two of them joining forces, they wouldn't fear anyone else unless they encountered a Tongtian Realm expert.

Thus, they had passed the seven days safely, and during that time, the two had also snatched some victory points.

After all, among the Disciples participating in the assessment, only a few dozen possessed Tongtian Realm cultivation.

If they relied on their strength, the two of them were still capable enough to enter the Inner Sect.

As for the others in their team, Xiao Fan did not see any familiar faces…

As for Sun Mingqi and Xie Lei, neither was in the crowd.

The Disciples who noticed that these two were absent looked at each other…

Not knowing what they were thinking.

Among them, Xiao Fan also saw a few female cultivators, and Hu Rui's gaze also drifted over.

It was the few women who had initially teamed up with Xiao Fan and the others.

But of the original dozen or so people, fewer than five remained now.

Needless to say, the others had probably all been eliminated.

Xiao Fan's gaze just scanned them, then moved away without lingering for a moment.

However, Hu Rui stared for a long time, a complex look flashing in her eyes, before she also moved her gaze away.

Xiao Fan secretly calculated that his first place in this selection seemed to be secured…

After all, there were still so many people remaining.
