Chapter 249: It's Just a Hongn Banquet!
Why hadn't Chen Ye taught Armant Haki earlier?
The answer was simple: his mastery of it wasn't sufficient until now.
Only recently did he feel confident enough to pass on the "seed" of Armant Haki to soone else.
"Pass it to ?"
Chairman Chen, intrigued by the sudden topic shift, couldn't hide his interest.
"I can learn this ability of yours?"
If he could master the skill to harden his skin, his strength would undoubtedly rise to another level.
"You should be able to!"
Chen Ye didn't want to overpromise.
Having the seed of Armant Haki was only the beginning.
Intense training was necessary to nurture and awaken it.
And there was still a significant chance of failure.
"Dad, hold my hand."
Chen Ye extended his hand.
Chairman Chen trusted his son completely and complied without hesitation.
It was the first ti Chen Ye had held his father's hand.
A strange feeling welled up in his heart.
"Dad, focus and rember this sensation!"
As he spoke, Chen Ye activated his Armant Haki, spreading it to Chairman Chen's hand.
Armant Haki could extend beyond the user's body, such as to weapons.
Spreading it to soone else's body, however, was far more challenging.
Chen Ye had practiced extensively to master this skill.
"Huh?"
Chairman Chen's expression turned to one of astonishnt.
Half a month passed in the blink of an eye.
During this ti, Chen Ye ca to a humbling realization: his talent and comprehension weren't anything special.
Why?
Because in just two weeks, Chairman Chen not only successfully mastered Armant Haki but also made remarkable progress.
On top of that, he had also learned Shave and Moonwalk from the Marine Six Styles.
Such progress left Chen Ye dumbfounded.
He began to suspect that his father was the true chosen one, a protagonist template with astonishing talent—just born in the wrong world.
If Chairman Chen existed in the One Piece world, he'd undoubtedly beco a master of Haki.
Give him a powerful Devil Fruit, and he might even reach the level of a Yonko.
As expected, anyone compatible with the S3 hero talent couldn't be underestimated.
anwhile, Chen Ye hadn't been idle.
Every day, he ventured into uninhabited wilderness areas to train his fire abilities.
Now that his ntal attributes had skyrocketed by 1,000 points, his fire powers had significantly strengthened.
The increase in temperature was particularly evident.
Chen Ye could now effortlessly lt steel with his flas.
For reference, steel lts at 1,538 degrees Celsius.
This ant that Chen Ye's flas reached at least 2,000 degrees Celsius or more.
He even suspected that the temperature of his flas corresponded to his ntal attribute score.
For example, with his current ntal attribute at 2,206 points, the temperature of his flas was likely around the sa.
"If my theory is correct, and I keep grinding secret realms to push my ntal attribute to 10,000 points, wouldn't my flas surpass the surface temperature of the sun?"
"When that day cos, with flas exceeding 10,000 degrees, wouldn't everything on this planet lt just by being near ?"
Chen Ye couldn't help but look forward to that possibility.
In the anti, he had also developed several new fire skills, though most were flashy and impractical—great for intimidation but lacking real combat effectiveness.
One example was his self-created "Blazing Avatar."
It involved releasing a massive amount of fire to form a towering, fla-shaped figure behind him, reminiscent of the legendary avatars of immortals in mythology.
While visually impressive, it had no offensive power.
For true destructive potential, Chen Ye still relied on combining his flas with his punches to unleash his Fire Fist.
Now, a single Fire Fist from Chen Ye was enough to take soone's life.
He wasn't just a warrior.
He was becoming a force of nature.
Ti passed, and the banquet celebrating Chairman Chen's breakthrough finally began.
That evening, starting from around 5 PM, an endless stream of luxury cars arrived at the entrance of Bai Liming's dojo.
Nurous prominent figures from Beijing, along with those from other regions who traveled specifically for the occasion, attended the banquet to congratulate Chairman Chen.
Although Qin Muyin, the captain of the Enforcent Division, couldn't make a public appearance, she still sent a gift to express her congratulations.
Fortunately, Bai Liming's dojo was large enough to accommodate the crowd.
Otherwise, the sheer number of attendees would have made it impossible to host such a grand event.
This evening's banquet had an unmistakable undertone.
Everyone knew that Bai Liming intended to elevate Chairman Chen as his successor, positioning him as the future leader of the Supernatural Association.
Naturally, Bai Liming's "nepotism" drew plenty of criticism.
For one, the higher-ups disapproved of Bai Liming's "reckless behavior."
The Supernatural Association was an official organization, not his personal fiefdom.
Did Bai Liming think he could appoint anyone he wanted to lead?
That would undermine the integrity of the institution!
Thus, tonight's banquet was also a "Hongn Banquet"—a prelude to chaos.
As for whether his father could handle tonight's "trial," Chen Ye wasn't concerned.
If he could, great.
If not, so be it.
With Chen Ye present, who could harm Chairman Chen?
At this mont, Chen Ye was relaxing in a lounge, chatting with Tang Zichen and Zhao Zheng.
Zhao Zheng, being Chairman Chen's sole disciple, was naturally attending his master's celebration.
Tang Zichen, the Chen family's future daughter-in-law, also had every reason to be present.
Noticing Zhao Zheng's trembling hands, Chen Ye chuckled.
"Junior Brother, tonight's star is my father, your master! Why are you so nervous?"
Taking a deep breath, Zhao Zheng replied, "I just saw a lot of martial arts masters outside. They're incredibly powerful!"
"You're worried my father won't be able to handle it?" Chen Ye asked.
"No!" Zhao Zheng shook his head.
"I have complete faith in Master. I'm just excited to see so many strong individuals at once!"
Hearing this, Chen Ye smiled.
At that mont, Tang Zichen interjected, "Chen Ye, what if they resort to a war of attrition against Chairman Chen tonight?"
"Hmm? No one would be that shaless, right?"
Even as he said it, Chen Ye furrowed his brows.
He knew Tang Zichen's concern was valid.
Such tactics were entirely plausible in a power struggle.
Politics was never fair or straightforward.
"No worries. My father has a god-level martial arts senior brother, and his son—you guessed it—! Let's see if they dare play dirty!"
Chen Ye suddenly grinned.
"If anyone tries to gang up on my dad, they'll have to get through first!"
Hearing his confidence, a faint smile curved on Tang Zichen's lips.
She loved seeing this bold, bald man's self-assured deanor—it was so commanding!
Just then, commotion arose outside the room.
Zhao Zheng imdiately stood up.
"It's starting!"
