Chapter 335: Chapter 334: I’m Afraid One Day, You Won’t Be Able to Stop Me from Growing Up (Please Subscribe)
"Okay, okay, thank you very much, Chairman Wu." Chang Fei nodded repeatedly like a pecking chick, his heart pounding wildly.
Could it be true?
Brother Chen, he actually killed a Furious Barbaric Bull King, all by himself?
The Furious Barbaric Bull King, although a relatively ordinary Commander-level Fierce Beast, is still a Commander-level Fierce Beast!
If it were him, it would definitely be impossible.
Just then, a message from Wu Yu came through.
It wasn’t much, just a string of phone numbers.
Chang Fei opened his contact list and found Chen Fan’s number. When he compared the two, he stood there as if struck by lightning.
Because the two numbers were identical!
On the other end, Wu Yu sensed something and her expression grew serious.
Could it be that they are indeed the same person?
"Chairman Chang?"
She had to call several times before bringing Chang Fei out of his shock.
"Chairman Chang, it seems that the one who killed the Furious Barbaric Bull King is indeed your association’s Chen Fan."
Wu Yu took a deep breath and said slowly.
"Chairman Wu,"
Chang Fei swallowed hard, "Where did your people see Brother Chen, and what was he wearing at the time?"
Even now, he still couldn’t believe it.
"In Anxi City."
Wu Yu blurted out, "He was wearing a mask on his face, holding a black longbow, and using arrows so long that they were almost as thick as an adult’s small arm..."
She relayed all the details that Yuan Yang had previously mentioned to her.
Chang Fei gasped.
In fact, when Wu Yu mentioned that the archer was wearing a mask, he had already deduced that it was Chen Fan.
Because he knew Chen Fan had a habit of hunting with a mask on, and also used a bow and arrow...
How could there be so many coincidences in the world?
Moreover, even the phone numbers were identical.
"It really is Brother Chen."
He let out a long sigh.
His heart was filled with mixed feelings.
"It should be him," Wu Yu said with a smile. "Chairman Chang, I remember that your association has a very young True Essence Realm Martial Artist named Ling Yu. Now you also have Chen Fan. The future of your Jiangnan Sub-district Martial Arts Association is limitless, isn’t it?"
"Chairman Wu, you flatter us." Chang Fei felt like he had a bitter pill to swallow.
Originally, this should have been great news for the association and for them personally. After all, competition leads to progress.
The problem is that these two people seem to have an irreconcilable relationship.
"Chairman Wu, thank you for informing me. Otherwise, I really wouldn’t have known that Chen Fan has already become a True Essence Realm Martial Artist and could even single-handedly kill dozens of Elite-level Fierce Beasts, including a Commander-level one." Chang Fei said with a sigh.
"Hehe, I also found out by chance and came to inquire with you. It turns out it really is the case. If your President learns this news, he will surely be pleased, right?"
"Yes, indeed."
Chang Fei forced a laugh.
"Let’s leave it at that for now, Chairman Chang. If you have time in the future, we should meet up for tea." Wu Yu said with a smile.
"Sure, sure. Thanks again for the news, Chairman Wu. Otherwise, I’d still be in the dark about Brother Chen." Chang Fei said, and only after hanging up the phone did he let out a deep breath.
This isn’t good...
Chen Fan’s strength has already reached such a level?
If it were Ling Yu, could he single-handedly kill a Commander-level Fierce Beast? Probably not, right?
In that case, doesn’t it mean that Brother Chen’s strength likely already surpasses Ling Yu?
He clearly remembered that when Chen Fan joined the association, he was still a powerful Martial Artist who had killed many High-level Fierce Beasts, causing quite a stir within the association.
But in such a short time, Chen Fan has become a True Essence Realm Martial Artist capable of single-handedly killing Commander-level Fierce Beasts.
With such terrifying growth, he could easily surpass the President in the future.
"No, I must inform the President immediately!"
Thinking of this, Chang Fei quickly dialed Shi Tao’s number.
As soon as the call was connected, before the other side could speak, he impatiently said, "President, something big has happened!"
"What big event?"
Shi Tao, who had been calm, now showed a change in expression upon hearing his tone.
"President, Brother Chen can now single-handedly kill Commander-level Fierce Beasts. I think you should quickly have Ling Yu apologize to him."
"What!"
Shi Tao exclaimed in shock, which caught Ling Yu, who was meditating nearby, off guard.
"Yes, President, you didn’t hear wrong, and I’m not making this up. It’s absolutely true."
Chang Fei spoke rapidly, recounting how Wu Yu had approached him.
"President, whether it’s his attire, weapon, surname, or contact details, the person who appeared in Anxi City must be Brother Chen. Do you remember what Brother Chen said a couple of days ago?"
Shi Tao’s pupils contracted slightly.
"President, to be blunt, if Brother Chen comes to us now, would Ling Yu be able to contend with him? Rather than letting things become rigid, it’s better for Ling Yu to sincerely apologize now. Brother Chen shouldn’t make things too difficult for him, which would be good for everyone."
"Chang Fei, I understand your point, but this matter has nothing to do with Ling Yu." Shi Tao said.
"..."
Chang Fei was stunned for a moment, then smiled bitterly and said, "President, I don’t even believe that, let alone Brother Chen. Honestly, I’ve always wanted to tell you that you protect Ling Yu too much.
Like this time, everyone can see there’s an issue, but you’re still favoring him.
President, take my advice: have Ling Yu apologize quickly while there’s still time. Otherwise, when that day comes..."
"Don’t worry."
Shi Tao cut him off, "If it really comes to that, I will ensure neither of them gets hurt."
"President, you misunderstand me."
Chang Fei shook his head.
"Misunderstand you?"
Shi Tao seemed puzzled.
"Yes, President. What I fear is that at Brother Chen’s current growth rate, when he comes to the headquarters one day, even you may not be his opponent."
"What!"
Shi Tao’s pupils widened, his eyes full of disbelief.
"President, think about it. When Brother Chen first joined us, what was his strength? What is his strength now? Honestly, I’m starting to suspect he might be an Awakener, or his martial arts talent surpasses our understanding."
Chang Fei smiled bitterly, "If Brother Chen comes now, it might be better. What I fear is him continuing to cultivate for a while and then coming over. Like I said, by then, even you won’t be able to contend with him, and Ling Yu..."
He didn’t continue.
Because it was obvious to everyone that the Xiao Hong incident was closely related to Ling Yu.
And at that time, would Chen Fan let it slide? Probably not.
He would consider it charitable if Chen Fan merely crippled Ling Yu.
Silence filled the air.
Shi Tao squinted his eyes.
After a moment, he said, "Okay, I’ll consider what you said. Is there anything else?"
"There’s one more thing."
Chang Fei replied, "Elder Sun and his team have made progress. They just refined a batch of True Qi Pills today, with eight complete pills, five of which are Top-grade True Qi Pills."
"Oh?"
Shi Tao’s eyes lit up, "That’s excellent news."
"Yes, Elder Sun and his team are still working. I believe it won’t be long before they can refine more Top-grade True Qi Pills."
"I trust Elder Sun and his team’s capabilities. Very good."
Shi Tao smiled, "Chang Fei, please continue to assist them. If you face any difficulties, let me know."
"I will."
Chang Fei nodded, hesitated for a moment, and said, "President, please seriously consider the first thing I mentioned."
"Hmm."
Shi Tao responded.
After hanging up, Chang Fei scratched his head.
He felt the President only agreed verbally but did not take it to heart.
"Master, was that a call from Uncle Chang?"
Ling Yu asked curiously as he saw Shi Tao put away his phone.
"Yes."
Shi Tao smiled, "Didn’t you always feel there weren’t sufficient Top-grade True Qi Pills? Elder Sun and his team have made progress and can now produce five Top-grade True Qi Pills in a batch."
"Really!"
Ling Yu was overjoyed.
"Would Master deceive you?"
Shi Tao smiled, "Now, are you pleased?"
"Yes, but Master," Ling Yu scratched his head and smiled honestly, "I think the Top-grade True Qi Pills should be prioritized for you. Once you break through to the Celestial Human Realm, our Jiangnan Sub-district Martial Arts Association will become the strongest among Yan Country’s five Martial Arts Associations. Maybe you can unite the five into one, and Yan Country will have only one Martial Arts Association."
"Unite the five into one, huh?"
Bright light flashed in Shi Tao’s eyes.
That was indeed one of his goals. The other was to eliminate the Fierce Beasts and restore the Human Race’s glory.
"Don’t worry, there will be enough Top-grade True Qi Pills for me. You need to work hard too, okay?"
He couldn’t help but pat Ling Yu’s head.
How could he bear to make such a considerate disciple apologize?
Perhaps, Chen Fan’s growth rate is indeed fast.
But to surpass him, who is about to enter the Celestial Human Realm?
That’s not realistic.
