A strange light flashed in He Wanqing's beautiful eyes. She covered her mouth and laughed:
"Who would have thought? This is an opportunity heaven handed to you, Brother Duan."
"As long as you cultivate steadily, you'll easily earn five hundred Contribution Points in half a year. Your little sister is truly envious."
Duan Jinglan had been feeling rather dissatisfied because no one was singing his praises.
He Wanqing speaking up just then scratched him exactly where he itched.
Duan Jinglan burst out laughing and said with feigned modesty:
"Wanqing, you shouldn't be so certain."
"There might be crouching tigers and hidden dragons in the Outer Area. Someone could be concealing their strength, only to reveal it later."
"It's not impossible."
"Hahaha!"
Watching the two play off each other, Cui Qiongyu was speechless inside.
Zhao Guangyao exchanged a glance with her and smiled helplessly.
Then Zhao Guangyao turned back to Li Chuan, hoping to exchange a look with him.
But when he looked, he caught a trace of... mockery on Li Chuan's face?
Did Brother Li think the two of them were ridiculous?
Yet with Ding Luo dead, Duan Jinglan being the first to reach Mid Gang Force was practically set in stone.
Even the candidates ranked closest behind Duan Jinglan in the selection, including the one in twenty-third place, were at least a month or two behind him.
There was almost no way to close that gap.
As though sensing his gaze, Li Chuan's expression returned to normal.
For a moment, Zhao Guangyao wondered if he had seen it wrong.
The mockery had been faint, after all, and Li Chuan had no reason to be mocking them, did he?
Could he also be planning to be the first to eat the crab?
The thought had barely crossed Zhao Guangyao's mind
