Of course, after experiencing this, even if Ling Yu survives, his constitution will be far worse than that of an ordinary person. Let alone practicing martial arts, he wouldn’t even be able to walk for long periods.
The president still couldn’t harden his heart after all.
However, he didn’t intend to expose it and said instead, "I’m sorry, President."
"No, Chen Fan, it should be me who is apologizing."
Shi Tao turned his back to Chen Fan, shaking his head.
"If I had been stricter with him in my usual discipline, if I hadn’t indulged him so much, he wouldn’t have ended up like this. Let me take care of Ling Yu’s burial."
"Of course, after crippling Ling Yu, I already said that he would be at your disposal, President."
"Thank you."
With a thought, Shi Tao put Ling Yu’s body into the Yellow Sand Tower.
"President..."
Chang Fei opened his mouth but said nothing.
People are not insensible, who can be indifferent?
Even raising a dog for ten years would foster feelings, not to mention a person.
"Don’t worry, I’m fine."
Shi Tao shook his head, "Ling Yu deserved his fate, there’s nothing more to say. Let’s talk about what we face next."
Chang Fei obediently nodded.
Yes, Ling Yu might be dead, but the mess he left behind is still here.
"Hahaha."
At this moment, Song Tian laughed, as if afraid everyone would forget their current predicament, and said, "Shi Tao, I want to see how you deal with the situation next. And as for you, Chen, you are indeed very strong. But can you alone withstand my Song Family’s two ancestors? Not to mention you killed Carl and angered the Revival Association. Hehe, the Revival Association is much stronger than my Song Family."
"No need to worry, you’ll see how I handle it when the time comes."
Chen Fan replied indifferently.
Before mastering the Emperor’s Qi Observation Skill, he truly would have been very worried.
But with the Emperor’s Qi Observation Skill, he essentially had the ability to foresee the future. Knowing in advance what would happen greatly reduced the difficulty.
Even in the worst case, if he truly couldn’t win, escaping wouldn’t be a problem.
With a thought, an image appeared in his mind.
Two days later, a large group of people arrived at the Jiangnan Martial Arts Association, including elderly white-haired men and blonde, blue-eyed people from Feng Country.
The people they brought surrounded the Martial Arts Association, water-tight.
In contrast, the association’s headquarters were desolate, with only Shi Tao, Shen Si, and a few others left.
Yet, despite facing such a large crowd outside, their faces did not show the slightest fear.
Chen Fan understood clearly.
They only had two days left.
The best-case scenario would be breaking through to the Celestial Human Realm within these two days, which would give him great confidence in saving Shi Tao and the others.
In a more typical scenario, even if he didn’t break through to the Celestial Human Realm, a significant increase in True Essence might allow him to battle ten Celestial Realm Martial Artists without being at a disadvantage, possibly securing the safety of the group.
The worst-case scenario would be only a small increase in True Essence within those two days. While he could kill two or three Celestial Realm Martial Artists, even those at the mid-stage, he would soon exhaust his True Qi and be in danger of perishing himself.
"So, the problem now is how to fill about 90% of the Sea of Qi within these two days."
Chen Fan determined his goal and looked at Shi Tao in front of him, "President, I’ll leave these people from the Song Family to you. I’ll be back in a few days."
He didn’t persuade anyone to leave.
Firstly, given their statuses, escaping the pursuit of the Song Family and the Revival Association would be difficult.
Secondly, even if persuaded, they probably wouldn’t leave.
"Alright."
"Exactly, offending a Celestial Realm Martial Artist means that your Song Family and the entire Revival Association probably won’t sleep well." Others joined in the laughter.
Song Tian and the others’ faces grew increasingly grim.
Indeed, a lone Celestial Realm Martial Artist with no attachments is the most terrifying.
Even if the Song Family’s defense was as tight as an iron barrel, they couldn’t prevent such a person, who could come and go at will, from creating fear and havoc over time.
But a Celestial Realm Martial Artist with attachments is different.
"I shouldn’t have let him leave so easily." With this thought, Song Tian felt regret, but on second thought, how could he, being a hostage, have stopped him?
After leaving the Martial Artist Association, Chen Fan headed directly for the highest point in Jiangnan City.
By absorbing Primordial Qi, he could increase about 1500 points in one night. Including the daytime, he could gain at most 6000 points in two days, which was just 5% of the breakthrough threshold.
What good is an additional 5% of True Qi? It won’t greatly help the upcoming battle in two days. To make a difference, that number must multiply tenfold.
50%!
This means his total True Qi would exceed 600 million, allowing him to use the Giant Spirit Hand over sixty times!
In reality, the number could be even higher, because as his Inner True Qi grows, the passive recovery percentage remains constant, increasing the number of recoverable True Qi.
Facing a dozen Celestial Realm Martial Artists wouldn’t scare him then.
So, he needed to search for Heavenly Materials and Earthly Treasures to supplement his Inner True Essence.
Standing at the highest point, Chen Fan surveyed the large Jiangnan City, where numerous places emitted various glows.
These were the Heavenly Materials and Earthly Treasures, the stronger the effect, the stronger the emitted aura.
However, many of these were already owned. He looked further out in all directions where shimmering lights particularly brightened the south.
"I’ll check that place."
Chen Fan moved instantly.
