"Who am I?"
Yang Yi opened his mouth, emitting a piercing laughter.
"Given your status, you wouldn’t be worthy of knowing my name. However, your soul is remarkably powerful, which piques my interest. So, I can make an exception for you. You can call me General Sara."
"General Sara?"
Chen Fan frowned deeply.
What kind of ridiculous name is that?
"How dare you show me disrespect?"
Yang Yi’s eyes turned blood-red as he opened his mouth wide, speaking angrily, "You insignificant ant, do you know that if my real body were here, I could crush you with just one finger?"
But Chen Fan laughed.
"So, you can’t do anything to me right now, can you?"
The voice abruptly stopped.
A moment later, the other side coldly snorted, "Even so, you shouldn’t get too complacent. The day of our true arrival is not far off."
"Is that so?"
Chen Fan remained noncommittal and then pointed to Yang Yi, "What’s his deal? Why couldn’t I get him to answer my questions despite controlling his mind just now?"
Yang Yi looked at Chen Fan like he was an idiot and said, "Did you think your methods were so sophisticated? Hmph, we’ve been prepared for this from the start."
"I see."
Chen Fan understood immediately.
It seems that within the Black Demon Sect, any bishops and above cannot be mind-controlled.
Or rather, if they are mind-controlled, others or something else will take control of their bodies.
Looking at the person in front of him, a bold idea came to Chen Fan’s mind: attempt to control using the Soul Shifting Technique.
But after a moment, he dismissed that idea—it was too dangerous.
Better to stay cautious.
"Your name is Li Ping, right? The president of the Anshan City Awakened Association? Just a C-level Awakened? No, with this kind of spiritual power, how could you be just C-level? Are you hiding your strength?"
At this moment, the voice arose again.
It seemed she was flipping through Yang Yi’s memories.
Chen Fan’s expression slightly changed.
He had to admit; he underestimated these cultists’ methods a bit.
"Hehehe, interesting."
The voice chuckled, "Your spiritual power equates to several A-level Awakened. So, you must be an A-level Awakened. Yet you’re hiding in a small city? Interesting indeed.
How about it, are you interested in joining the Black Demon Sect?"
"Do you think that’s possible?" Chen Fan asked.
"You are different from the others."
The voice said, "They were merely pawns, but you are different. You are our partner. Soon, Lord Black Demon will descend. Not just Yan Country, but your entire planet will belong to us, and you will be its ruler!"
"I bet you told the others the same thing,"
Chen Fan suddenly said.
"..."
The atmosphere instantly grew awkward.
"Ahem."
The voice coughed twice and said, "Indeed, many A-level Awakened in Yan Country are our partners. With our assistance, they became stronger."
"Who are they?"
Chen Fan asked.
"Hehehehe."
A sharp laughter echoed, "Do you think I’m stupid enough to tell you such vital information?"
Chen Fan shrugged.
He didn’t expect to get an answer anyway.
"Think it over carefully."
The voice said, "I’ll give you a day. Come here at this time tomorrow and give me your answer."
"No need."
Chen Fan shook his head, "I can tell you the answer right now."
Yang Yi’s face darkened, "So you’re saying, you won’t collaborate with us?"
"Any sane person wouldn’t cooperate with you."
Chen Fan sneered.
If he really believed that guy, he’d be the fool.
Those A-level Awakened who agreed to cooperate with them surely understood this. They probably just wanted to gain power from them.
But these guys aren’t idiots either; who knows what tricks they have up their sleeves?
"Is that so? I advise you to think carefully."
The voice sneered, "Do you think you can just kill our Black Demon Sect Bishop and let it end there?"
"Li Ping, I know what you look like and where you live. Yes, I can’t do anything to you for now, but that doesn’t mean I can’t let others handle you."
Chen Fan’s heart skipped a beat.
Fang Liang had said that the Black Demon Sect had one Sect Leader and five Archbishops.
Each Archbishop’s power could rival an A-level Awakened.
If it were the Sect Leader, their combat power could equal that of an S-class Awakened.
An S-class Awakened can rival a Beast Emperor-level Fierce Beast! In other words, with just a casual blow, they could destroy the entire Anshan City!
"Scared now, aren’t you?"
The voice said triumphantly, "There’s still time to regret your decision."
"Sorry, the word ’regret’ isn’t in my dictionary."
Chen Fan said, delivering a lightning-fast punch to Yang Yi’s head.
"Boom!"
A loud explosion.
The other party’s head exploded instantly.
It seemed as if a hysterical voice echoed through the void.
"What’s done is done. Regret is pointless."
A cold gleam flashed in Chen Fan’s eyes.
Bowing down to the Black Demon Sect? Absolutely impossible!
Certainly, if the Black Demon Sect Sect Leader and the five Archbishops showed up, even he might have to flee.
But as long as the Sect Leader doesn’t come, he was confident he could fight even the five Archbishops with his Vajra Indestructible Body.
Of course, dealing with five A-level Awakened requires more than just mastering two Supreme Martial Arts.
It’d be best to master a few more, or perhaps learn another Supreme Martial Art. That would increase his chances.
"But to bank on the Sect Leader not coming isn’t the wisest strategy. I wonder how Meng Xue’s breakthrough is going."
Chen Fan looked into the distance.
If Meng Xue successfully breaks into B-level, her foresight into the future would make everything more secure.
"You better not mess with me, or else, forget about the Black Demon Sect, I’ll crush you all, including any Black Demon!"
...
The next morning, sunlight pierced through the clouds, illuminating the earth.
Anshan City was bustling, as if no one had gone missing.
In the Alchemy Room.
After an entire night of alchemy, Chen Fan looked at his attribute panel,
Realm: True Essence Realm·First Realm (38.2%)（+）
True Essence: 43748/497.2 (+3860%)
Level: 29 (0/100 million)
Constitution: 53,900
Strength: 155,200
Agility: 55,600
Spirit: 1,363,300
Potential Points: 20 million
Experience Points: 2,260,000
After two nights of alchemy, his True Essence had risen from nearly 20,000 points to over 43,000, almost 40% of its maximum capacity.
At this rate, within another five or six nights, his Elixir Field and Sea of Qi would be full.
At that point, he’d be able to condense a Martial Arts True Pill and step into the Celestial Realm.
Once entering the Celestial Realm, he could harness the Power of Heaven and Earth, making every punch and kick immensely more powerful.
However, he was also a bit nervous.
Because his current realm was only the True Essence Realm First Stage.
According to Chang Fei, True Essence Realm First Stage Martial Artists had a low success rate of condensing a Martial Arts True Pill, with a higher likelihood of failure.
If he failed, although it wouldn’t mean starting over, it would involve doing a lot of futile work, wasting vast amounts of time and resources.
Most True Essence Realm Martial Artists only attempted breakthroughs after reaching True Essence Realm Second Stage.
Though the quality was a bit lower, once successfully condensed, their strength was far greater than that of an ordinary True Essence Realm Martial Artist.
Some ambitious individuals, like Chairman Shi Tao, even attempted breakthroughs at True Essence Realm Third Stage to condense a First-grade Martial Arts True Pill.
"With my abundant True Essence, once it reaches 100%, I should be able to successfully condense a Martial Arts True Pill on my first attempt."
Chen Fan thought.
It seemed unlikely to him otherwise.
He continued examining the attribute panel.
Among the four basic attributes, his Strength had already surpassed 100,000, reaching 150,000!
And his Spirit Attribute was even more astounding, breaking through a million points!
By comparison, his Constitution and Agility seemed relatively weak.
"If I master Dragon Elephant Wisdom Skill to its Perfection Realm, my Strength Attribute could break through to 200,000 points, but it requires too much experience. Even with the Sun Observation Technique’s reduction, it’s still daunting."
Chen Fan sighed lightly.
He could only put it on hold for now; 150,000 points of strength was already impressive.
He focused on the last line, the experience points.
2,200,000 experience points.
Just enough to push the Sun Observation Technique to Perfection, so Chen Fan invested over a million experience points into it.
His spiritual power surged again in his mind.
At the same time, a flash of white light flickered in his mind.
Evidently, he unlocked a new trait.
[Sun Observation Technique: Perfection (0%), Traits: Divine Comprehension Level 5, Meditation Level 5, Serenity Level 5, Warmth Level 3, Inference Level 2, Body Transformation into a Fierce Sun Level 1]
"Body Transformation into a Fierce Sun?"
Chen Fan checked it out.
Moments later, he nodded.
This trait had both passive and active features. Passively, it increases resistance to dark-type attacks.
Activated, his body could emit sun-like light, causing enemies within a certain range to perish, both body and soul, very dominantly.
Of course, the spiritual power consumption was enormous.
With his current spiritual power of a million points, he could only maintain it for two seconds.
That’s right, not ten seconds, only two seconds. Each second of spiritual power consumption was a million points!
"It can be a trump card, but should only be used as a last resort."
Chen Fan thought, because once used, his spiritual power would be instantly drained, and many other martial arts also required spiritual power to perform.
Meanwhile, the Sun Observation Technique’s experience point reduction effect reached 40%.
"It’s time to go hunt Fierce Beasts and sell off the materials I have to exchange for some cultivation techniques and weapons."
Chen Fan thought, but before that, he needed to find Meng Xue.
"Buzz buzz, buzz buzz."
At that moment, his phone rang.
He took out the phone and saw the caller ID: Meng Yu.
What a coincidence?
