Chapter 355: Chapter 350: Something Special, But Not Much (Please Subscribe)
Everyone fell silent after hearing Chen Fan’s words. Their eyes lowered, none dared to meet his gaze.
Oppose him?
Do they even have the option to oppose him?
Three commander-level fierce beasts, with one being high-level commander, were nevertheless killed in one strike!
Honestly, if they hadn’t seen it with their own eyes, they wouldn’t believe it even if you beat them to death.
"Alright."
Chen Fan nodded slightly, "It seems you all agree with what I said. Then I will take these twelve Celestial God Fruits. As for you, you may leave now. Of course,"
His tone turned cold, and his gaze swept over Pei Yong and Tang Qiang, "If anyone is unhappy or has any crooked thoughts, feel free."
Pei Yong and Tang Qiang’s faces turned pale with fright.
"F-friend," Tang Qiang quickly tried to explain, "We’re leaving now, we’re leaving right now."
"Yes, take the twelve Celestial God Fruits. We have no objections."
Even Pei Yong, who initially had an arrogant attitude, now spoke in a very humble tone.
Saying this, they turned and signaled to a few C-level Awakened behind them, then left without looking back.
The few C-level Awakened seeing this, quickly followed suit.
Seeing the Celestial God Fruits maturing soon, they were naturally unwilling to let go.
However, besides giving up, they had no other choice. Risking their lives was definitely a bad idea.
Thinking of this, they all felt a deep sense of relief.
Luckily, those two Strong Demon Apes appeared timely, preventing them from taking action. Otherwise, lying on the ground would not just be those three fierce beasts.
Chen Fan watched the Awakened leave, then turned his gaze to Shen Si and the others.
Zhao Yan and two others immediately felt an invisible pressure bearing down on them.
"Friend, I have a few words I want to say to you. After saying them, I will leave," Shen Si gritted his teeth and said.
He made a bold decision.
This decision carried significant risk, but once successful, he would be able to collect numerous treasures that he couldn’t gather before.
Yet he trusted his intuition, believing the person before him, despite a mysterious aura in every move, didn’t seem to be untrustworthy.
Nevertheless, just in case, he needed to have a backup plan.
Chen Fan frowned, not knowing what Shen Si was plotting.
Considering that they both belonged to the Jiangnan Sub-district Martial Arts Association, he reluctantly nodded, "One minute, I’ll give you one minute."
"Enough, that’s enough."
Shen Si nodded repeatedly, then turned to Zhao Yan and the others, "You guys go back to the city, I’ll catch up later."
"President?"
Zhao Yan’s eyes widened in confusion.
"Don’t worry, I won’t be in any danger."
After saying this, the three swiftly headed away.
Chen Fan captured it all in his eyes, squinting slightly.
This Shen Si seems to assume ill intentions on his part.
If he really wanted to take action against him, letting those three leave first wouldn’t make a difference.
After waiting a few seconds, Shen Si finally spoke, "Friend, I wonder how you discovered the location of these Celestial God Fruits? If it’s a secret technique, then forget I asked. But if you found them by luck, perhaps we could cooperate."
Upon hearing this, Chen Fan’s heart skipped a beat.
The reason he found these Celestial God Fruits was thanks to Meng Xue.
The Awakened might have used some unique superpowers, like treasure detection.
But as a Martial Artist, how did Shen Si discover them?
Thinking of this, he responded calmly, "How do you propose we cooperate?"
Shen Si took a deep breath, "Friend, I won’t hide it from you. I have a secret technique that can detect the presence of Heavenly Materials and Earthly Treasures in the vicinity, not just Celestial God Fruits but other treasures as well, all found using this method."
Saying this, he took out several items from space, showing punch-sized red fruits.
Also, finger-sized ones,
Some herb-like materials emitting fragrant scents, clearly extraordinary items.
Chen Fan scanned them briefly, growing increasingly curious.
"How did you find these?"
Shen Si smiled silently, "I can’t reveal that, but if you agree to cooperate, I can take you to find numerous valuables."
Chen Fan frowned.
Shen Si’s actions are understandable.
A normal person wouldn’t casually reveal their trump card.
Yet his demeanor didn’t seem deceitful.
Chen Fan felt a temptation to use the Soul Shifting Technique, though it was morally questionable, and using it could cause permanent mental trauma.
Thus, he probed cautiously, "Divination? Or is it perception? Or some other method?"
At the mention of divination, Shen Si’s smile remained intact, but he flinched slightly at perception, though Chen Fan’s high spiritual power easily noticed it.
Unaware, Shen Si continued smiling, "Friend, stop probing. Cooperation is mutually beneficial. You don’t have to decide now; take your time."
He handed out a business card, "My contact info is here. If you decide to collaborate, call me anytime. If not, we can still be friends."
Chen Fan took the card, pondered briefly, then nodded, "Alright, I’ll consider it."
"Great, I won’t disturb you as the Celestial God Fruits are about to mature."
Shen Si bowed to Chen Fan, then left.
After watching Shen Si’s figure disappear, a smile curled on Chen Fan’s lips. It seems like perception martial arts.
The Celestial Response Technique can only sense humans or beasts.
So it’s Emperor’s Qi Observation Skill?
"Seems like it’s Emperor’s Qi Observation Skill."
Chen Fan’s eyes showed anticipation.
President Shi Tao’s expectation, he had seen and mastered nearly all supreme martial arts.
Shen Si, as vice president, should master supreme martial arts too, at worst top-level martial arts.
Perception martial arts are niche, top-level martial arts and supreme martial arts are few.
This narrows down the answer.
Looking at the business card, he shook his head.
Up to seven days, Emperor’s Qi Observation Skill unlocks.
Unlocking means Perfection Realm.
Then, he can sense the Heavenly Materials and Earthly Treasures alone.
Besides, Shen Si’s combat strength is limited, struggling even against an ordinary commander-level fierce beast, cooperation would mean carrying a burden.
Shaking his head, he waited.
With a series of cracking sounds, over ten Celestial God Fruits finally matured, filling the air with a rich fragrance.
Chen Fan put away his bow and arrow, swiftly approached a Celestial God Fruit, grasping it received a mental shock.
"Hmph."
Chen Fan snorted, easily dispelling the spiritual attack, plucked the Celestial God Fruit and stored it.
He then flashed to the second fruit.
At that moment, several tree roots, each two meters thick, erupted, whipping towards Chen Fan.
"Snap! Snap!"
Each root struck the ground, leaving deep trenches.
But none hit Chen Fan.
Predictable strikes were evaded by Chen Fan in bizarre ways.
Using top-level lightweight skill, Wave-Riding Step.
The roots, powerful enough to injure an ordinary commander-level fierce beast, were dodged effortlessly by Chen Fan.
He dodged and plucked several Celestial God Fruits.
Roots thrashed wildly, but Chen Fan always found the blind spots, easily dodging and plucking one fruit after another.
In a blink, he had collected most of the twelve fruits, leaving five.
The Celestial God Tree’s leaves rustled furiously.
The roots abandoned Chen Fan, aiming to destroy the remaining fruits!
"As expected."
Chen Fan had anticipated the tree’s desperate measures.
Fortunately, he hadn’t used full power.
Instantly, his speed surged, agility attribute jumped from 30,000 to nearly 200,000!
The Celestial God Tree sensed danger and tried to destroy the fruits.
For the tree, growing so many fruits was difficult, meant to attract strong prey, instead faced a greedy collector.
Refusing to let go, it preferred to absorb the fruits rather than gifting them to Chen Fan!
But Chen Fan’s speed, akin to a storm, easily evaded.
Soon, the branches were empty when roots arrived.
"Snap! Snap!"
Frustrated, the Celestial God Tree thrashed the ground.
Chen Fan appeared hundreds of meters away, smiling at the helpless tree.
Indeed, the tree had some skills, yet he triumphed.
