Shi Tao narrowed his eyes.
Indeed, that’s true.
Unless the Song Family truly intends to level the headquarters, Elder Wang would step in to stop them.
Moreover, the critical point is, Elder Wang is currently not at the headquarters but in Anshan City, over one or two thousand kilometers away...
"I understand, I’ll return immediately."
This matter, he definitely had to demand an explanation from the Song Family.
Yes, at this moment his fist indeed is not as strong as the Song Family’s, but if they rely on their might to bully others, he wouldn’t say anything. When his strength surpasses the Song Family’s, he would naturally pay them a visit and return the favor.
"Alright, President."
Shen Si was filled with joy.
With the President’s speed, he might return in a few hours.
No matter how fast the Song Family acts, even if they arrive tomorrow morning, there’s no need to worry too much.
"Oh, by the way," Shen Si suddenly remembered something, "Brother Chen will also come tomorrow."
"Chen Fan is coming tomorrow, to the headquarters?"
Shi Tao was a bit surprised, "Did you tell him about this matter?"
After all, Chen Fan is thousands of miles away, how could he know about the happenings at the headquarters?
"No, President," Shen Si said with great embarrassment, "Actually, it was Brother Chen who found out first and then called to inform me."
"What?"
Shi Tao’s mouth slightly opened.
"He found out first? How did he find out first?"
"Oh dear!"
Shen Si slapped his forehead and smiled bitterly, "The situation was so urgent that I forgot to ask. Now that I think about it, it’s indeed incredible. I was at the headquarters and didn’t know about Jiang Tao’s disappearance, yet he knew and informed me that the Song Family had learned everything from him. Strange indeed, could he have foresight?"
"Foresight?"
Shi Tao frowned slightly.
"By the way, President, Brother Chen also mentioned he would send me an email with portraits of several people for me to investigate their identities."
Shen Si continued.
"Alright, follow his instructions." Shi Tao nodded, "We will discuss the specifics when I return."
"Yes, President, be careful on your way."
"Hmm."
Shi Tao hung up the phone, his deep gaze turned towards the pitch-black night sky.
For some reason, he felt a sense of unease, as if on this return, he would lose something very important.
The Jiangnan Sub-district Martial Arts Association?
It doesn’t feel like that.
Because if this matter gets out, the association has reason on their side. The Song Family, no matter how brazen, cannot act wantonly.
But specifically what it is, he couldn’t pinpoint.
"Once I return, everything will be clear. I just hope nothing bad happens."
He sighed.
In Anshan City, upon meeting with the association, Chen Fan also let out a sigh of relief.
Fortunately, he had foreseen a wave; otherwise, unexpected consequences truly would occur.
Because of this matter, he had to invest time, which might lead to increased difficulty in defending Anshan City at dawn tomorrow.
If those burrowing fierce beasts are not thoroughly cleared, casualties within the city would be hard to avoid.
"Do what can be done, leave the rest to fate."
Chen Fan helplessly sighed.
In a chaotic world, protecting oneself and family is most important. If he had excess power, he would help others as much as he could.
Then, his gaze fell upon the skill bar.
It was time to elevate these martial arts to the Perfection Realm.
As flashes of enlightenment crossed his mind, the experience points on the panel visibly decreased at an astonishing rate.
[Celestial Frost Fist],
[Wind God Leg],
[Cloud Dispelling Palm],
These three Supreme Martial Arts vastly enhanced his physical attributes and brought [Three-Part Returning Essence Qi] into completion status.
As a Supreme Martial Art, Three-Part Returning Essence Qi possessed powerful defensive capabilities, though it slightly lagged compared to the Undying Golden Body.
Not to mention, after fusion, the Undying Golden Body lacked a Cultivation Gate.
However, Three-Part Returning Essence Qi had long-range attack abilities, compressing True Essence into a sphere to throw, surpassing ordinary Sword Qi in potency and range; he greatly anticipated this.
Subsequently, other Supreme Martial Arts also advanced to the Perfection Realm.
1.5 billion experience points consumed less than 30 million.
"I’ve cultivated all Supreme Martial Arts within the Awakened Association to the Perfection Realm, now I can freely exchange for Supreme Martial Arts."
The corners of Chen Fan’s mouth slightly lifted.
The power of Supreme Martial Arts far exceeded that of the Supreme Martial Arts.
If not counting Longevity Technique (Water), he currently mastered two Supreme Martial Arts: the Undying Golden Body and Black Hand Demon Skill.
The former enabled him to withstand the Sword Saint of Liang Country’s Ten Thousand Swords Attack, and the latter granted him the power to instantaneously kill ordinary Beast King-level fierce beasts, even High-level Beast King; considering Top-level Beast King’s stature, only about a hundred meters tall.
Yet, imagining instantaneously killing a Top-level Beast King-level fierce beast with a single blow might be somewhat simplistic.
Now, he was about to master the third Supreme Martial Art, [Ten Thousand Swords Return to the Sect]!
After consuming another 15 million experience points, Ten Thousand Swords Return to the Sect reached Perfection Realm.
As expected, the two most potent traits were Ten Thousand Swords Attack and All Swords Return to One.
Ten Thousand Swords Attack, as the name implies, consumes True Qi to summon ten thousand Sword Qi, continuously assaulting enemies, also capable of attacking multiple targets.
Each Sword Qi consumes only 1000 points of True Qi.
What does this mean?
Previously, when Chen Fan stood on Anshan City’s wall slaughtering elite-level fierce beasts, each Sword Qi consumed 10,000 points of True Qi, 20 million True Qi could only condense two thousand Sword Qi.
With mastery of Ten Thousand Swords Return to the Sect, each Sword Qi consumes only 1000 points, 20 million True Qi could condense over 20,000 Sword Qi, allowing consecutive use of Ten Thousand Swords Attack twice.
By tomorrow morning, his True Qi value could potentially exceed 40 million points, enabling consecutive use of Ten Thousand Swords Attack four times!
Furthermore, this Sword Qi’s potency is over three times that of ordinary Sword Qi.
The Perfect Trait, All Swords Return to One is equally straightforward, consuming 10 million points of True Qi, merging ten thousand Sword Qi into a hundred-meter-long Sword Qi to strike the opponent.
In terms of size, it is similar to the Giant Spirit Hand.
Regarding potency, Chen Fan guessed it would be quite comparable.
However, Ten Thousand Swords Return to the Sect is different from Blood Hand Skill; the former is an independent sword technique that can continue to improve, while the latter is a fusion skill, constrained by the Undying Seal Technique and Wisdom Scripture of All Methods, lacking room for advancement.
If All Swords Return to One were elevated to Level 2, it could merge one hundred thousand Sword Qi, amplifying the potency tenfold!
Then, even the Undying Golden Body couldn’t withstand such a strike; killing a Top-level Beast King-level fierce beast would be effortless.
Chen Fan glanced at the panel. When that day comes, his total True Qi should surpass 100 million points, enabling use of the enhanced version of All Swords Return to One without any problem.
After a bit more observation, Chen Fan averted his gaze.
All Swords Return to One might not be immediately necessary due to its overlap with the Giant Spirit Hand.
However, Ten Thousand Swords Attack could significantly reduce the difficulty of defending the city.
Suddenly, he thought of the Liang Family Ancestor.
This individual, hailed as a Sword Saint, had also cultivated Ten Thousand Swords Return to the Sect to Perfection Realm; undoubtedly, a remarkable figure.
If someday he encountered him, wouldn’t it be Ten Thousand Swords Return to the Sect versus Ten Thousand Swords Return to the Sect?
He couldn’t help but laugh.
If such a day arrived, it would certainly be interesting?
But those are matters for the future, whether they would occur remains uncertain.
The trouble caused by the Song Family was a present concern.
"Tomorrow might be another fierce battle."
Chen Fan said, closed his eyes, and began absorbing Heaven and Earth Primordial Qi.
