Chapter 357: Chapter 351 Above the Celestial Human Realm (Seeking Subscriptions)_2
Pei Yong was stunned for a moment.
Going to demand it? Just them? How is that different from going to their deaths?
As for finding help, their intuition told them that even if they found the most powerful B-level Awakened, there was no guarantee they would win against this guy, let alone an A-level Awakened.
It’s a joke, which A-level Awakened would care about this thing?
"Old Tang, you’re right, we better not make fools of ourselves. It’s late, we should go back and see if any other treasures have appeared. This time, let’s just consider ourselves unlucky."
Pei Yong sighed, stood up, and brushed off the dirt from his clothes.
"Yeah, that’s all we can do."
The two of them spoke and darted away to the distance, one to the left and one to the right.
Unbeknownst to them, a large tree behind them concealed a pitch-black dagger that vanished into the air.
A flicker of murderous intent flashed in Chen Fan’s eyes but disappeared instantly.
These two men didn’t have any bad intentions, and he was too lazy to make a move.
After all, his identity would definitely not remain hidden for long. If nothing unexpected happened, Shen Si would soon find out his identity.
...
At the same time.
The three people of Zhao Yan’s group, standing in the wilderness, anxiously waited with their phones.
"It’s been so long, and the President still hasn’t replied. Could something have happened to him?" Zhao Yan was as anxious as an ant on a hot pan.
"Don’t say such things."
The round-faced burly man said, "The President is always blessed, how could anything happen to him?"
"That’s right, the President has always been cautious. He wouldn’t put himself in danger. He just hasn’t seen the messages yet. Let’s wait a bit longer."
Another man also spoke up.
"Hmm."
Zhao Yan nodded heavily, feeling a bit better inside, but still looking in the direction they came from while watching the phone.
The other two men glanced at each other, their faces filled with worry.
They understood the President’s intentions.
He was preparing for contingencies in case something happened to him, so they could return and inform the headquarters about what happened.
But why exactly did the President do this?
Wouldn’t it be better if he returned with them together?
At that moment, a figure swiftly approached them.
"It’s the President!"
Zhao Yan shouted excitedly.
The two men, upon seeing this, also showed joyous expressions and quickly went to welcome him.
"President!"
"President!"
"President, are you alright?"
"What could possibly happen to me?" Shen Si smiled at the three people in front of him and said, "I’m sorry to have worried you."
"It’s nothing, President, your safe return is the best news."
"Zhao Yan is right. But, President, why didn’t you leave with us earlier?"
"Yes, President, what did you say to that person? If it’s inconvenient, you don’t have to tell us."
"There’s nothing inconvenient about it."
Shen Si smiled and said, "You all saw that person’s strength - one word, strong, two words, extremely strong."
"Yes."
The three of them looked respectful upon hearing this.
Such a huge Commander-level Fierce Beast was taken down with a single arrow.
And the High-level Commander as well.
This kind of strength seems only the President in the headquarters has, right?
"So, President, you decided to stay?"
"I wanted to collaborate with him."
Shen Si didn’t hide anything and said directly, "There are many Heavenly Materials and Earthly Treasures in the mountains. But the more precious the treasure, the stronger the Fierce Beasts guarding it. This time, three Commander-level Fierce Beasts were drawn out. Even without Pei Yong’s interference, we wouldn’t have been able to get those Celestial God Fruits alone."
Upon hearing this, the faces of Zhao Yan and the others became stiff.
"President, it’s all our fault for holding you back."
"Yes, it’s all because our strength is too weak."
"What does that have to do with you?" Shen Si shook his head. "I’m telling you this not to blame you, and besides, even I would have a hard time defeating a Commander-level Fierce Beast, right? I’m just being transparent with you all."
"President..." The three felt touched upon hearing this.
"Alright, let’s get to business."
Shen Si waved his hand and said while walking, "Everyone saw that person’s strength. He found the Celestial God Tree probably due to luck, which can’t be replicated. We can continuously locate similar Heavenly Materials and Earthly Treasures, but we lack the strength to obtain them.
If we collaborate with him, it would be beneficial for both of us."
"That’s true."
The three of them agreed after hearing this.
Even among Heavenly Materials and Earthly Treasures, the disparity can be as vast as heaven and earth. The value of a hundred of the former may not match one of the latter.
The President’s actions were for the benefit of the Association, and he didn’t hide anything from them, showing he regarded them as his own.
"President, did that person agree?"
Zhao Yan asked cautiously.
The round-faced burly man glanced behind Shen Si, feeling a sense of foreboding.
If that person had agreed, the President wouldn’t be here alone now.
But, perhaps he agreed.
"Not yet."
Shen Si sighed softly and said, "He’s still considering it. I gave him my business card. If he agrees, he’ll contact me."
"Still considering?"
The three exchanged looks of worry.
"He should agree, right?"
"I think so. Without the President’s Emperor’s Qi Observation Skill, no matter how strong he is, he’s merely depending on luck."
"Yes, luck is unpredictable. He should carefully consider how to choose."
"Hmm."
Shen Si nodded.
He also believed the possibility of collaboration was high.
That person most likely didn’t have the means to find various treasures, otherwise, he would have refused outright instead of probing subtly.
Walking through the wilderness, the atmosphere was a bit quiet.
Suddenly, Zhao Yan curiously asked, "President, is that person an Awakener or a Martial Artist?"
The round-faced burly man and another man also looked over curiously.
"I’m not sure."
Shen Si shook his head.
From the arrows shot by Chen Fan, he felt the presence of True Qi, like the flames on the arrows, which didn’t seem like real flames but more like Fire Attribute True Qi.
But this didn’t prove anything.
Many Awakeners are also Martial Artists, they practice Martial Arts and condense True Qi.
Among B-level Awakeners, many are True Essence Realm Martial Artists.
Among A-level Awakeners, some are Celestial Realm Martial Artists!
It’s said there’s an even higher Realm above the Celestial Human Realm!
Martial Artists, however, are not necessarily Awakeners.
"Yanzi, it doesn’t matter if he’s a Martial Artist or an Awakener, as long as he agrees to cooperate with us." The round-faced burly man laughed.
"Yes, even if the President finds something good, with our strength, we can’t obtain it. If he joins us, it will be different. Like today’s Celestial God Fruits, if he was with us, we could have shared half."
"Half? You dare to think big."
Shen Si laughed involuntarily.
That person killed the Commander-level Fierce Beast effortlessly. Just because it looked easy, doesn’t mean it was easy.
"Then he takes two-thirds, and we get a third?"
"That ratio seems fair."
Shen Si nodded.
After all, his use of the Emperor’s Qi Observation Skill came with a cost.
Moreover, this Supreme Martial Arts requires a high talent for cultivation, and even within the Awakened Association, few can master it.
To ask for a third, he felt confident.
