Seeing the serious expression on Chen Fan’s face, Zhang Ren felt a surge of emotion.
He recalled, "There were quite a few people back then, most of whom I didn’t know. However, the leader, I still rember his na and appearance."
"Who is it?"
"Lu Yang."
Zhang Ren spat out two words.
"So it’s him."
Chen Fan narrowed his eyes.
Isn’t it that guy who was leading?
At that ti, he acted so arrogant and even threatened , saying I’d regret it later.
Well, the next ti I et him, I’ll settle both old and new scores.
"Xiaofan, even though that’s the case, you shouldn’t act rashly against him."
Zhang Ren said worriedly, "If you attack others, it’s fine. But attacking him will definitely alert the Awakeners behind him. No matter their intentions, they won’t just sit idly by."
"Hmm, don’t worry Uncle Zhang, I won’t act recklessly."
Chen Fan smiled; Uncle Zhang’s advice was indeed reasonable.
That Lu Yang is just an Entry Force Martial Artist, getting rid of him is no big deal.
But if I do that, I will have to be prepared to face C-level, maybe even several C-level Awakeners.
By then, hiding in the Anshan City Branch will be of no use.
So, I must gather more resources and enhance my power.
That being said,
the next mont,
he took out a small bottle and poured out a Top-grade Qi Blood Pill.
"This, what is this?"
Zhang Ren’s eyes widened instantly, and he cried out in surprise.
The pill in front of him was round and smooth, deep red in color, emitting a unique fragrance.
Top-grade Qi Blood Pill!
"Uncle Zhang, this is for you."
Chen Fan smiled.
He had two secret manuals with him, naly [Qianyuan Skill] and [Cloud-piercing Arrow Technique].
But these two martial arts require reaching the ridian Refining Realm to cultivate, even he himself hasn’t t the requirents, let alone Zhang Ren.
So they’ll have to wait.
"No way."
Zhang Ren waved his hand and said, "This pill is too precious, you need it more than ."
"Uncle Zhang, take it. It’s just one pill."
Chen Fan smiled.
In fact, this pill was bought at a discounted price.
At present, he indeed urgently needs resources, so he’s sorry he can only give Uncle Zhang one pill.
However, once his Realm improves, Top-grade Qi Blood Pills will be like Low-grade ones now, insignificant.
By then, he’ll give Uncle Zhang several bottles of Top-grade Qi Blood Pills as compensation.
"Okay, alright."
Seeing Chen Fan persist, Zhang Ren had no choice but to accept it.
...
At the eastern training ground, Gu Ze was practicing his saber technique.
He felt the saber technique suited him more, simple and brutal to use.
"Gu Ze, do you have a mont?"
At this mont, a voice sounded.
Gu Ze turned around, and saw Chen Fan standing not far away, smiling at him.
"Yes."
He sheathed his saber and walked over.
"Shall we take a walk?"
Chen Fan asked.
Gu Ze was stunned for a mont, then he nodded.
"I went to Anshan City this morning."
Chen Fan said as he walked.
"I know."
Gu Ze looked at him and then said, "It won’t be long before I can go there by myself."
"I also joined the Martial Arts Association."
Gu Ze was puzzled, he didn’t quite understand what the Martial Arts Association was, but soon he said, "It won’t be long before I can join the Martial Arts Association too."
"No,"
Chen Fan turned, looking at him seriously, "Compared to the Martial Arts Association, I want you to join the Awakened Association."
"Awakened Association?"
Gu Ze frowned, "You an I should go to Anshan City?"
"Not necessarily Anshan City, it could be another city."
Chen Fan narrowed his eyes, "I understand your desire to stay here and protect your family, but you must realize that the Fierce Beasts are far more powerful than we imagine. Your growth here is too slow.
Yes, you can protect everyone well now, but what if one day the Fierce Beasts attack us again?
At that ti, even Anshan City could be destroyed in an instant, let alone our small village."
Gu Ze didn’t speak.
"This ti, when I visited the Martial Arts Association, do you know what the biggest impression was?"
Chen Fan turned to him and asked.
"What was it?"
Gu Ze asked instinctively.
"Resources."
Chen Fan said, "The resources provided by the association are far beyond what our small village or even a city can offer. The Awakened Association is even more powerful than the Martial Arts Association. Only by going there can you grow faster and protect your family better, because the destruction of the nest would an everything is gone. You understand this, right?"
"So, you’re here to persuade to join the Awakened Association?"
Gu Ze took a deep breath.
"It’s just a suggestion,"
Chen Fan looked at him, "A suggestion from a friend."
Gu Ze was silent for a long ti, then finally said, "I understand. I’ll go back and think about it."
"Hmm."
Chen Fan nodded, saying no more.
He had said what he needed to say; if Gu Ze still wanted to stay in the village, he wouldn’t say anything else.
Everyone has their own choice to make.
And joining the Awakened Association isn’t necessarily a golden path.
It also ans facing more difficult foes, even treachery from within.
As for ng Yu, her abilities are special.
He planned to save ng Xue first, then let the sisters decide for themselves.
...
Throughout the night, Chen Fan practiced the Basic Fist Technique with Zhang Ren.
Currently, his physical attributes far exceeded Zhang Ren’s, so he had to restrain his strength during their exchanges.
Because of this, his skill level in the Basic Fist Technique increased a bit slower.
After a whole night of practice, it only increased by three levels.
[Basic Fist Technique: lv12 (5%), Traits: Powerful Level 12, Strengthening the Body Level 10, swift Level 8, Firm Strength Level 6, Spiritual Level 4]
No new traits were unlocked.
But this was within his expectations.
"To improve quickly, I need either actual combat or to spar with stronger people."
Chen Fan sighed.
Entry Force Martial Artists are unimpressive in front of him; he needs to find those ridian Refining Martial Artists.
As for Basic Archery, it’s easier.
Once the bow arrives from the head office, the Basic Archery skill level will improve significantly.
At that ti, practicing [Cloud-piercing Arrow Technique] will be much easier.
"Let’s see the effect of the Top-grade Qi Blood Pill, then start the cultivation technique, and finally breakthrough the realm."
Chen Fan took out four bottles of Qi Blood Pills from space items,
excluding the one given to Zhang Ren, 35 pills remained.
"I wonder how many potential points a Top-grade Qi Blood Pill provides."
With anticipation, he placed a pill in his mouth and swallowed.
Soon, a massive heat dispersed, as if a fire was burning in his abdon.
"Is the dicinal power too strong?"
Chen Fan wondered.
At that mont, the imnse dicinal power seed to evaporate in his body instantly, disappearing without a trace.
A line of information appeared in his mind.
[Potential Points 12000 points]
Chen Fan’s face imdiately showed joy.
He initially thought that if the Top-grade Qi Blood Pill provided ten thousand potential points, it would be great.
Unexpectedly, it reached twelve thousand points!
This ans that the sa amount of money used to buy Top-grade Qi Blood Pills yields a 1.5 tis better enhancent compared to Middle-grade Qi Blood Pills!
No wonder they’re in such high demand.
Chen Fan took the remaining Top-grade Qi Blood Pills, one after the other.
After they all converted, he looked at the panel,
Potential Points: 526152 (200 points/day)
Experience Points: 1325
520,000 potential points, the most he’s ever accumulated.
Chen Fan smiled, it’s enough to break through to Transforming Force.
Further breakthrough might be challenging, only achievable after hunting High-level Fierce Beasts and acquiring enough Top-grade Qi Blood Pills.
"Let’s improve the cultivation technique first."
He looked at the Skill Bar,
Two ridian Refining martial arts, plus Golden Bell Shield, three total, will be set aside for now,
Remaining are, [Soul-Annihilating Finger], [Moon Observation Technique], [Thirteen Grand Protectors’ Cross Training], [Shadowless Swift Blade], [Thunderous Blade Technique].
Chen Fan frowned.
He originally thought 1300 experience points were plenty; now it doesn’t seem enough.
"Prioritize Moon Observation Technique."
He thought.
He must face the Awakeners from Anshan City.
The higher the spiritual power, the stronger the spiritual defense, when facing that Guan Family Awakener, if their only thod is mind control, then they’ll be out of luck, only death awaits them.
If enough experience points remain afterward, he’ll enhance Thirteen Grand Protectors’ Cross Training and Soul-Annihilating Finger.
As for the two saber techniques, thanks to the Basic Saber Technique level, they shouldn’t consu too many experience points. It’s ti to max them out.
He focused, using 1 experience point on Shadowless Swift Blade,
A subtle warm flow erged,
[Shadowless Swift Blade: Initial Glimpse (0%), Trait: Powerful Level 1]
"A three-point power increase, huh?"
Chen Fan glanced, feeling pleased since it cost only 1 experience point.
He then used 2 experience points,
A mory surfaced in his mind,
[Shadowless Swift Blade: Slight Achievent (0%), Traits: Powerful Level 2, Shadowless Level 1]
[Shadowless: Skill level increases by one, blade speed increases by fifty percent, effective with Shadowless Swift Blade.]
"Fifty percent increase?"
If maxed out to Perfection Realm, it would provide a two-fold blade speed increase.
He checked Basic Saber Technique.
The Level 15 Fierce Assault trait provides a 45% blade speed increase per level, totaling 4.5 tis.
In comparison, Shadowless Swift Blade’s speed is slower by half.
This confirms that Basic Martial Arts and Advanced Martial Arts don’t have absolute strengths and weaknesses, it’s relative.
"Let’s see if new traits unlock next."
Chen Fan muttered, this ti using 3 experience points to raise skill level, but no new traits unlocked.
He then used 4 experience points, reaching Great Success, still no new traits.
"Only two traits, maybe?"
Chen Fan suddenly felt uneasy.
