Chapter 482: Chapter 462: Take It
Chen Fan ran thousands of kilometers before finally slowing down and expanding the range of his Celestial Response to the maximum.
Countless breaths appeared around him.
Some were human, others belonged to fierce beasts.
"It seems like they didn’t follow."
Chen Fan carefully sensed his surroundings but didn’t dare to lower his guard. He continued to move forward, walking another hundred kilometers before slowing down to sense the breaths again.
After repeating this process several times, he finally dared to stop.
On one hand, he couldn’t sense the breath of the Liang Family Ancestor.
On the other hand, his True Essence within was running low.
After all, whether it was the previous consumption of activating the Vajra Indestructible Body or the subsequent desperate escape, the speed at which his True Qi was consumed was akin to a rocket launch.
"I should have shaken them off."
Chen Fan nodded.
When the opponent manipulated Sword Qi to chase him, their speed was slightly slower than his. Just that he didn’t dare to be careless, so after shaking off the opponent, he maintained his speed.
His Vajra Indestructible Body truly couldn’t withstand the opponent’s Ten Thousand Swords Return to the Sect. Being able to block two to three thousand Sword Qi was probably his limit.
Once his Golden Body was broken, he would indeed be close to death.
"Lucky I’m more skillful."
Thinking of this, Chen Fan let out a long sigh of relief, a smile appearing on his face.
The plan was risky but fortunately, it came through successfully without any danger.
He carefully took out a palm-sized Cyan Dragon Fruit from his Spatial Ring, a faint fragrance wafting out.
"This is the Cyan Dragon Fruit worth a million points."
Chen Fan examined it for a moment, feeling slightly uneasy.
One fruit, a million points.
Sell it?
The idea was immediately killed by Chen Fan.
Such a valuable item, even if sold by the Awakened Association, would still be extremely rare, of course, not impossible to buy but requiring one to queue.
A month? Three months? Even years are possible!
Better consume it himself and convert it to power.
"A Celestial God Fruit can increase one to two thousand points of Spirit Attribute, priced at fifty thousand points. I wonder how much Physical Attribute this Cyan Dragon Fruit can increase."
Chen Fan thought to himself and took a bite.
The flesh broke apart, juice splashing out with a taste somewhat similar to a tomato, a blend of sour and sweet.
[Consumed Cyan Dragon Fruit, Physical Attribute increased by 2000 points]
Information flashed in his mind.
"Just one bite of the fruit increases Physical Attribute by 2000 points?"
Chen Fan felt a surge of joy.
Looking at the Cyan Dragon Fruit in his hand.
The bite only took a little over one tenth, meaning if he consumes the entire fruit, his Physical Attribute could increase by nearly 20,000 points!
His current Physical Attribute is just shy of 70,000 points, a close to 30% increase!
"With such effects, no wonder even Celestial Realm Martial Artists are tempted."
Chen Fan sighed.
This time, only the Liang Family Ancestor appeared, probably because for Celestial Realm Martial Artists, consuming too many of such treasures weakens their effects.
Better to be generous, letting juniors fight over them.
In quick succession, Chen Fan consumed the entire Cyan Dragon Fruit feeling warmth across his body as if he had just soaked in a hot spring.
His Physical Attribute rose from nearly 70,000 points to 90,000 points.
"Not bad."
Chen Fan was very satisfied.
Enhanced Physical Attribute meant increased defensive power when activating Vajra Indestructible Body.
And it wasn’t just a slight increase.
However, facing the Liang Family Ancestor head-on would still be challenging. The ten thousand Sword Qi flying from the opponent, blocking half would be considered fortunate.
"To face these Noble Family Ancestors head-on, merely unlocking Undying Golden Body isn’t enough. My Realm needs enhancement, at least to True Essence Realm Second Realm."
Chen Fan spoke while retrieving various Heavenly Materials and Earthly Treasures from his Spatial Ring.
All these were snatched from Song Gang and the Feng Country people.
Although they were far less valuable than the Cyan Dragon Fruit, they still provided thousands or hundreds of attribute points upon consumption cumulatively significant.
Information flashed in his mind.
The three attributes occasionally jumped.
After several minutes, Chen Fan wiped his mouth, still yearning for more.
Indeed, these Heavenly Materials and Earthly Treasures tasted quite good akin to enjoying a fruit salad, but they were too few.
Next, he focused on his attribute panel.
Realm: True Essence Realm·First Realm (63.2%) (+)
True Essence: 75948.4/1804.75 (+4110%)
Level: 29 (0/1 billion)
Physical: 91,900
Power: 208,200
Agility: 61,600
Spirit: 1,363,300
Potential Points: 5 million
Experience Points: 12 million
True Essence attribute was unchanged from the morning.
However, Physical, Power, and Agility attributes had increased by varying degrees.
The greatest increase was naturally in Physical Attribute, nearly 25,000 points.
Power and Agility attributes increased by around 5,000 points.
Not significant but equivalent to mastering a Supreme Martial Art.
Spirit Attribute witnessed no changes.
Potential Points remained unchanged, likely the same for the next two days as he would be busy integrating the exotic True Qi within.
Though these exotic True Qi currently posed no major threat, keeping them within was akin to a ticking bomb likely to explode if left too long.
Finally, Experience Points had reached 12 million!
"12 million..."
Chen Fan took a deep breath.
For the first time, he amassed such substantial Experience Points capable of advancing several Supreme Martial Arts to Perfection Realm.
Or, upgrade one or two Supreme Martial Arts.
Chen Fan looked further down.
Many martial arts were in completion.
By tomorrow noon, Nine Provinces Archery could be unlocked.
This martial art’s priority was undoubtedly high.
To deal with flying high-altitude enemies, normal tactics were useless; even Heaven-Burning Arrow Technique might be ineffective.
Another priority was Undying Golden Body.
Its top priority was undisputed.
This martial art was Supreme, the only complete Supreme Martial Art in his possession.
Upgrading to Perfection Realm, although not guaranteed to match those Noble Family Ancestors, would ensure they couldn’t easily harm him.
Emperor’s Qi Observation Skill required another three to four days.
"Wait patiently and focus on overcoming the immediate challenge first."
Chen Fan murmured.
He then checked his phone, noting it was already afternoon, and Meng Xue hadn’t sent any message.
"Seems like I’ll have to wait until evening to receive her hint."
Chen Fan wasn’t surprised.
The future can change; even minor influences can create drastic changes.
Thus, a longer wait was acceptable.
"Hope my killing of Bloodthirsty Ants does bring some future changes."
Chen Fan sighed.
Under normal circumstances, he would seek fierce beasts for combat, earning some points.
But the Cyan Dragon Fruit’s consumption left his True Essence depleted. By the time he fully recovers, it would already be late.
Better to return to the city and fuse the exotic True Qi.
With this in mind, he headed towards Anshan City.
Cautious, he occasionally activated Celestial Response to guard against the Liang Family Ancestor possibly seeking him out.
Indeed, at this moment, the Liang Family Ancestor hadn’t given up, searching everywhere. Finding nothing, he reluctantly returned.
After over an hour, Chen Fan finally reached the gates of Anshan City.
Seeing the crowd queueing to enter the city, a morning figure flashed in his mind.
Yes, it was Wang Lingling driven out by him yesterday. But not giving up, she had disguised and mixed into the entrance crowd.
Chen Fan frowned slightly.
Uncertain if she had truthfully reported her strength.
Not necessarily only her among those sneaking into the city, so no need to find her urgently now.
Wait for Hua Jun to deliver the list at night before dealing with it.
As dusk fell, the bustling Anshan City quieted down.
Hua Jun, holding a list, stood outside the chairman’s office door, knocked.
"Come in."
A voice echoed from inside.
"Creak."
Hua Jun opened the door, walked in carefully closing it, respectfully saying, "Chairman, there were twelve hundred new entries today, similar to previous days. Among them were three Awakeners, two of D-level, one C-level, and over a hundred Martial Artists. The highest being Transforming Force, with three more. Their information is here, for your review."
He placed the materials on the table.
"Hmm."
Chen Fan nodded, not immediately checking, instead saying, "Chairman Hua, remember the promise I made to you?"
"Promise to me?"
Hua Jun was startled before breathing rapidly.
He certainly remembered.
The chairman promised to give him a Celestial God Fruit.
Now that the chairman mentioned it, could it be?
"Take it."
Chen Fan finished speaking, and a Celestial God Fruit appeared on the table.
This was scavenged from Feng Country people, only one left. With many consumed already, further consumption’s effect would be negligible.
Perfect, he had promised Hua Jun, saving him a trip to a big city for points purchase.
"Chairman, I..."
Hua Jun’s body trembled in reluctant desires.
A fruit worth fifty thousand points, even if bought, would be a heavy expenditure.
"Take it without so many words!" Chen Fan frowned displeased.
Hua Jun hurriedly took the Celestial God Fruit, lips trembling, unsure how to express his gratitude.
"Work for me, and I won’t mistreat you."
Chen Fan glanced at him, calmly said.
"Yes! Yes!"
Tears filled Hua Jun’s eyes.
Indeed, while the previous chairman ate the meat, not a drop of soup was shared.
Unlike Chairman Li, who casually gifted a treasure worth fifty thousand points!
