Chapter 436: Chapter 424: Is This Really Useful? (Please Subscribe)
At the city gate of Anshan City, there were two long queues, with over a thousand people at a glance.
At the back of the queue, many people were standing on tiptoes, desperately looking towards the city gate.
Most people were whispering to each other, discussing softly.
"Finally made it here, it wasn’t easy." someone sighed.
"Yeah, luckily there were Awakeners escorting us, or else with so many Fierce Beasts along the way, who knows how many of us would have died?"
"Are we really going to be able to stay for free later?"
"Even if we can’t get in, it doesn’t matter. These two camps outside are much larger than the places we lived before; it’s not bad to stay here."
"Yes, yes."
Many people agreed, their eyes looking towards the two camps on the left and right.
"Humph."
Just then, a cold humph sounded.
The noisy chatter suddenly quieted down.
Because an Awakener had unknowingly walked over.
"Since our president said you can stay inside the city, why would there be any falsehood?"
The man glanced at everyone and said.
"!"
Upon hearing this, the crowd became even more excited.
Someone gathered the courage to ask: "Sir, do we really not need to give anything to stay inside?"
"Yes, yes."
A few voices echoed.
"Nonsense."
The man glanced at him, "What do any of you have that would be worth our president’s attention?"
"Enough, don’t worry here. When you reach the city gate, you’ll understand. Not only do you not need to give anything, but you’ll also get a house for free."
"A free house!"
"Really?"
"A free house?"
The exclamations grew louder.
"Naturally." The man’s face unconsciously showed pride.
However, he did not forget the vice president’s instructions, and his face turned serious: "The president is pitying you and letting you move into the city, you’d better behave and not cause trouble, otherwise, being kicked out will be the least of your worries."
"Yes, yes, Awakener, we are all honest people, we wouldn’t cause trouble."
"Right, even if you gave us the guts, we wouldn’t dare cause trouble."
The crowd quickly said.
"Humph, that’s not necessarily."
The man swept his gaze over the group, "If any of you are Martial Artists or Awakeners, you must truthfully register at the city gate without any concealment,
and if any of you are cultists, you’d better leave now, or once you’re in the city, face the consequences."
"Yes, yes."
The crowd quickly agreed.
After the man finished speaking, he walked back, obviously to inform the people at the back.
The group at the front breathed a sigh of relief.
Someone cautiously asked:
"Are there cultists mixing into the city?"
"It’s possible, I heard that large cities have quite a few cultists hidden within, coming out at night to harm people. If big cities are like this, imagine small cities." said a man in a suit and glasses, appearing quite knowledgeable.
"Yes, Anshan City now does not refuse anyone, as long as it’s a person, they can settle in the city. It’s logical to attract cultists."
"Those cultists deserve to die. Hopefully, they won’t come and if they do, they will be caught."
"Indeed, indeed."
"Do we need to register our strength?"
In the crowd, a small, dirty woman whispered to herself.
Slyness flashed in her eyes immediately.
Coincidentally, nearby, several strong men who looked formidable were also whispering amongst themselves.
"Boss, why does Anshan City require strength registration to enter now?"
"Yeah, I haven’t heard of such a requirement before. Wasn’t it that anyone can enter?"
"Perhaps it’s to prevent cultists from mixing in?"
"Why panic?"
A thick voice sounded, "It’s just registering strength, we can hide it when the time comes."
"True, I’ve heard there’s not a single True Essence Realm Martial Artist here, how could they see through our true strength?"
"Not a single True Essence Realm Martial Artist? This place sounds shabby." A man smacked his lips.
"Fourth, have some shame."
The man next to him glared at him, "You chose the worst person, absorbing all his Inner Strength, causing us to run with you."
"Exactly, I had just settled down there."
The fourth man gave an embarrassed smile and quickly apologized: "Brothers, wasn’t it a moment of impulse? If time could be turned back, I definitely wouldn’t choose him."
However, I must say, those family heirs are different from us rogues, their Inner Strength is pure."
"Is it really that good?" asked several, intrigued.
"Alright,"
the thick voice sounded again, "Once we get into the city, stay low and don’t cause trouble. Wait until things calm down, then we’ll go back."
"Got it."
"Boss, there are quite a few Martial Artists in Anshan City, maybe even some Meridian Refining Realm ones. Why not?" The fourth man rubbed his palms.
"Did you just ignore what I said?"
The boss’s gaze turned icy.
"No, no, boss, I was wrong."
The fourth man’s head quickly lowered, scared to even breathe heavily.
The other men stayed quiet like quails.
Time slowly passed.
Soon, it was the small woman’s turn.
The man in charge of registration deeply looked at her, saying: "If you are a Martial Artist or Awakener, it’s best to be honest."
"Yes, I’m a Martial Artist."
The woman looked fearful, "I’m a Meridian Refining Realm Martial Artist."
"Meridian Refining Realm Martial Artist, hmm."
The man nodded, considering that she was alone, a weak woman who could pass through the wilderness to get here must be quite strong.
Of course, she could also be an Awakener, or intentionally hiding her strength; he couldn’t tell.
In fact, he wondered, does this strength registration really work? Can it truly stop those with ulterior motives? Stop those cultists mixing in?
But that was the president’s order.
He didn’t dare question it, just followed suit.
"Fill out the form."
"Okay, thank you, brother."
The woman appeared very cooperative.
"That girl is a Meridian Refining Realm Martial Artist?"
A few men not far away looked surprised.
A female Meridian Refining Realm Martial Artist was indeed rare.
Despite her dirty appearance, perhaps it’s intentionally done.
"Alright,"
a voice sounded, "Did you forget what the boss said? Behave once in the city, no trouble."
"Yes."
The men quickly responded.
Unbeknownst to them, their boss’s eyes showed a hint of greed as he looked at the woman.
Only withdrawing his gaze reluctantly after she disappeared from view.
"She’s quite a beauty."
The man’s mouth unconsciously curled up.
Although only a Meridian Refining Realm Martial Artist, she could still increase his Primordial True Qi significantly.
Coming to Anshan City couldn’t be for nothing, right?
However, he could act alone; his subordinates can’t.
If they dare disobey, he wouldn’t mind draining their Inner Strength first!
...
In the evening, Chen Fan stood amidst ruins, surrounded by Fierce Beast corpses.
"The sky is darkening, time to go back."
Chen Fan muttered to himself.
After killing the black giant dragon, he left Star Sea City.
Firstly, the remaining Fierce Beasts in Star Sea City were mostly killed in the battle, even the dozens of elite-level Fierce Beasts were gone.
Secondly, it was the most important reason.
He feared another Dragon-man would come, as his True Essence was almost depleted.
Thus, he went directly to the past Roaring City, where there were two commander-level Fierce Beasts, dozens of elite-level Fierce Beasts. After killing them, he retrieved his bow and practiced Basic Boxing and Kicking.
After an afternoon, his Basic Boxing and Kicking level had improved to Level 110.
Many top-level fist and kick martial arts’ skill levels were raised, but sadly, for someone like him now, such increases were negligible.
"Seems like to improve supreme-level fist and kick techniques, my Basic Boxing and Kicking level needs to be even higher."
Chen Fan smiled bitterly.
But at that time, he’d likely focus on Supreme Martial Arts?
Shaking his head, he turned towards Anshan City.
When night fell, Chen Fan arrived at the Awakened Association.
In the president’s office.
Hua Jun handed over a document, bowing: "President, here is the guest list of those who moved into the city today, totaling three hundred twenty-one people, including one Awakener who is an E-level Awakener with a rather weak superpower, and one hundred twenty Martial Artists including two Meridian Refining Realm Martial Artists. The specifics are in the last table."
"Hmm."
Chen Fan wasn’t surprised.
After all, it was relatively easy for Awakeners to settle into a city.
He directly turned to the last page.
Glancing at the Awakener, the superpower was the ability to eat one meal and not need to eat for days, indeed a weak superpower.
Of course, it could also be his one-sided claim.
Like the row of Martial Artists below.
Who knows if they have intentionally hidden their Martial Arts Realm?
After a brief look, he put down the list: "You’ve worked hard."
"Not at all, not at all." Hua Jun quickly said: "President, it’s my duty."
"Hmm, keep it up, by the way, the Celestial God Fruit I promised you, come get it at this time tomorrow."
"!"
Hua Jun’s face showed shock, his lips moved as if wanting to say something.
"Alright, if there’s nothing else, you may leave. I have some things to do." Chen Fan waved his hand.
"Yes."
Hua Jun left excitedly, closing the door quietly behind him.
