Chapter 388: Chapter 376: The Emperor’s Qi Observation Skill? I Know It Too (Please Subscribe)
A palm seal, towering over twenty or thirty meters, descended from the sky, directly crushing the last remaining high-level fierce beasts into powder.
Within a radius of a few miles, no fierce beast could be seen standing anymore.
However, quite a few were lying on the ground, bones broken and tendons severed, still twitching as they were not completely dead.
Chen Fan’s face showed a trace of helplessness.
The fierce beasts in this area had all been dealt with by him. Logically, he should move to another place.
However, these remaining high-level fierce beasts were also experience points. Though few, accumulating them would be a considerable amount.
Thus, he had no choice but to point his fingers towards those high-level fierce beasts. The true essence within him transformed into sword qi, shooting out from his fingertips, piercing through the skulls of one beast after another, leaving deep marks on the ground.
"It also counts as improving the level of my basic finger technique, killing two birds with one stone."
He thought to himself.
At this moment, a series of vibrations came from the pocket on his right side.
"It’s the phone from the martial arts association."
Chen Fan’s expression changed slightly.
Unlike others, even when he went out to hunt fierce beasts, he did not put the phone in space items, worried that he might miss an urgent call.
Those who knew this number.
Were not just Sun Wei and his teammates, but also relatives and friends in the village, making it impossible for him not to be cautious.
"I wonder who is calling me? I hope it’s not bad news."
Chen Fan muttered to himself, while continuing to finish off the beasts, he took out his phone and looked at it.
The screen showed an unknown number.
His brow furrowed immediately, what was going on?
Unknown number?
Though puzzled, he answered the call, "Hello? Who is this?"
The person on the other end was none other than Shen Si.
After hanging up with Chang Fei, he had obtained Chen Fan’s contact information.
After hesitating for a moment, he mustered up the courage to make the call.
Because he firmly believed in one principle: some things, though may not be perfectly accomplished if done, will certainly never succeed if not attempted at all.
However, after dialing Chen Fan’s number, he was extremely nervous, fearing that if the mysterious person and Chen Fan from the association were not the same person, what would he do?
But when Chen Fan said those words, his body trembled.
This voice was exactly the same as the mysterious person from a few days ago!
Swallowing hard, Shen Si tentatively asked:
"May I ask, is this Brother Chen Fan?"
"Yes, it’s me. Who are you?"
Chen Fan suddenly felt that this voice was somewhat familiar, as if he had heard it somewhere before.
"Brother Chen, it is really you."
Shen Si was relieved and laughed aloud.
"It’s you?"
Chen Fan also realized it at this moment.
"It seems that Brother Chen has recognized who I am."
Shen Si chuckled, "Yes, I am the one who handed you the business card that day, hoping to cooperate with you."
Chen Fan was silent for a moment and then said, "It seems, Chairman Shen already knows my identity."
"Hehe, yes."
Shen Si hurriedly said, "Brother Chen’s weapon is so unique and powerful, just a little investigation reveals it."
He did not bring up his chairman’s identity, nor did he mention the Jiangnan Sub-district Martial Arts Association, fearing to anger Chen Fan and make him hang up the phone directly.
"Hmm."
Chen Fan responded, not surprised by this, as he had no intention of hiding his identity from the beginning.
Now that the other party called, the purpose was not difficult to guess.
"Chairman Shen, calling me about the matter from last time, I assume?"
"Brother Chen is right."
Shen Si sighed; he initially did not intend to get straight to the point so quickly.
"Hmm, if it is about that matter, then I can give Chairman Shen a clear answer." Chen Fan did not hesitate to say, "I appreciate Chairman Shen’s kindness, but for cooperation, please find someone else."
"Brother Chen, why don’t you reconsider?"
Shen Si’s face grew even more bitter. Chen Fan’s refusal was within his expectations. If Chen Fan had agreed, it would have been surprising.
"Brother Chen, this is not boasting, but among the martial arts associations of Yan Country, very few have achieved my level in the Emperor’s Qi Observation Skill. If we cooperate, it would greatly enhance your strength, and the profit share is also negotiable."
"Chairman Shen, if today’s call is solely about this, then my answer is clear, and if there is nothing else, I shall hang up now."
Chen Fan said calmly.
"Wait, wait."
Shen Si became anxious, "Brother Chen, I know that due to some matters, you have been at odds with the headquarters lately, but my cooperation with you has nothing to do with the headquarters. It is personal, between you and me.
Moreover, as I’ve heard from Chairman Chang, regardless of the truth of the matter, he indeed acted inappropriately. We have been persuading him to change his mind, it just takes some time."
"Does Chairman Shen think that my unwillingness to cooperate is because of Ling Yu?"
Chen Fan asked.
"Isn’t that so?"
Shen Si asked back.
Reflecting on it, if he were Chen Fan, encountering such a matter, he too would feel resentment.
As they say, love me, love my dog; conversely, hate someone, and you may also hate everything related to that person.
As a vice-chairman, being rejected was expected.
"Heh."
Chen Fan chuckled coldly twice and said, "Chairman Shen has overthought it. Originally, I didn’t want to state the specific reasons, but if I don’t, Chairman Shen probably won’t be appeased. So, I’ll say it."
"Alright, Brother Chen, if you have something to say, just say it." Shen Si said quickly, still smiling.
"Does Chairman Shen believe that in the Jiangnan Sub-district Martial Arts Association, only you can perform the Emperor’s Qi Observation Skill?"
Upon hearing this, Shen Si’s smile froze instantly.
A premonition of something bad dominated his mind.
"Brother Chen, you mean...?"
At this moment, contrary to his usual calm demeanor, Shen Si stuttered.
"That’s right," Chen Fan said emphatically, "I can also perform the Emperor’s Qi Observation Skill."
Although, not yet.
He mentally added a note.
After all, if he didn’t speak clearly, he might be pestered. It was better to be straightforward to avoid trouble.
"The Emperor’s Qi Observation Skill, you, you can also perform?"
Shen Si’s mouth fell open, standing there dumbstruck.
Earlier, he did entertain such a guess.
But he didn’t dare to believe it because this skill was a supreme martial art, different from supreme martial arts of fists and weapons. Its contents were profound and obscure, extremely mysterious. Even for him, it was through a stroke of luck that he cultivated to the stage of entering the hall.
Even so, he couldn’t explain a single word of this martial art to others.
Chen Fan, can perform it?
"Of course, I can."
Compared to him, Chen Fan’s tone was much calmer.
"If Chairman Shen doesn’t believe it, just think about it. If I didn’t have this supreme martial art, how could I have pinpointed the exact location of the Celestial God Tree that day?"
Shen Si looked as if struck by lightning.
His face was ashen.
In fact, when he proposed cooperation at that time, he had a worry, that Chen Fan might have similar methods to his own?
But he held a bit of luck in his heart, hoping that Chen Fan was just lucky, a coincidence.
And the result...
After a long while, Shen Si gave a bitter laugh and said awkwardly, "No wonder Brother Chen did not respond to me after leaving that day. So, the Emperor’s Qi Observation Skill, you already know it, sigh."
He sighed deeply, filled with regret and extreme astonishment.
Brother Chen’s proficiency in archery had reached such a level, his achievement in the Emperor’s Qi Observation Skill likely wouldn’t be far behind.
The chairman had offended such a person for Ling Yu, it was not worth it at all.
Despite this, he still held onto the last bit of hope in his heart.
"Brother Chen, may I ask a presumptuous question? What level have you reached in cultivating the Emperor’s Qi Observation Skill? To be honest, I’ve cultivated it to the stage of entering the hall,
but due to the secret manual being incomplete, achieving this stage is already extremely difficult. If Brother Chen has any unclear aspects in cultivation, we can discuss them together."
Chen Fan was a bit surprised to hear this.
Although the other party was interested in his combat power, to say such words also showed some genuine goodwill.
It’s just that he didn’t need it.
In a few days, once the Emperor’s Qi Observation Skill is completed, he would directly reach perfection. Who would instruct whom would be obvious.
"I appreciate your kindness, Chairman Shen, but if there’s nothing else, let’s leave it at that for today." Chen Fan said.
Shen Si was startled, now understanding the implication in Chen Fan’s words.
He initially wanted to act as a lobbyist for the headquarters to persuade Chen Fan.
But given the current situation, further pestering might cause dissatisfaction.
"Alright, if Brother Chen is busy, I won’t disturb you further. If you have any thoughts later, feel free to call me anytime."
"Hmm."
Chen Fan responded, hung up the phone, and put it back in his pocket, immediately flying towards another area.
To him, Shen Si’s call was just a tiny interlude, less tempting than killing a mid-level fierce beast.
Listening to the busy signal on the phone, Shen Si sighed deeply, his eyes filled with disbelief.
He had already said so much and still got rejected by Chen Fan, without a second thought.
Could it be that Brother Chen’s Emperor’s Qi Observation Skill has also reached the stage of entering the hall?
