High-level martial arts: Invincibility starts with basic archery.

"Okay, okay, then I'll trouble Chairman Wu." Chang Fei nodded like a chicken pecking at rice, his heart pounding wildly.

real or fake?

Brother Chen actually killed a raging bull king, and a single person?

The Rampaging Bull King, although a relatively ordinary commander-level ferocious beast, is still a commander-level ferocious beast!

He absolutely could not have done this.

Just then, Wu Yu sent a text message.

The information is minimal, just a string of phone numbers.

Chang Fei opened his phone's contacts, found Chen Fan's number, and compared the two. He was stunned, as if struck by lightning.

Because these two numbers are exactly the same!

Wu Yu on the other end of the phone also noticed something and her expression became serious.

Could it be that it really is the same person?

"President Chang?"

She called out several times before Chang Fei snapped out of his shock.

"President Chang, it seems that it was indeed Chen Fan from your association who killed that raging bull king."

Wu Yu took a deep breath and spoke slowly.

"Chairman Wu,"

Chang Fei swallowed hard. "Where did your people see Brother Chen? What was he dressed like?"

Even now, he still can't believe it.

Anxi City.

Wu Yu blurted out, "At that time, he was wearing a mask and holding a black longbow. The arrows he used were very long, as thick as an adult's forearm..."

She recounted all the details that Yuan Yang had told her before.

Chang Fei gasped.

In fact, when Wu Yu mentioned that the archer was wearing a mask, he was already certain that the person was Chen Fan.

Because he knew that Chen Fan had a habit of wearing a mask when hunting, and that he used a bow and arrow as his weapon...

Where in the world are there so many coincidences?

What's more, even their phone numbers are exactly the same.

"It really is Brother Chen."

He let out a long sigh.

It felt like a jumble of emotions, a mixture of feelings welling up inside.

"It must be him," Wu Yu said with a smile. "President Chang, I remember there's a man named Ling Yu in your association. He's so young, yet he's already a True Yuan Realm martial artist. And now there's Chen Fan. The future of your Jiangnan District Martial Arts Association is limitless!"

"President Wu, you're too kind." Chang Fei felt like he was swallowing a bitter pill, unable to express his grievances.

This was indeed a great event, both for the association and for the individuals involved, since competition is essential for progress.

The problem is that these two people seem to be irreconcilable enemies.

"President Wu, I'm so grateful to you for telling me this. Otherwise, I really wouldn't have known that Chen Fan was already a True Yuan Realm martial artist, and even capable of killing dozens of elite-level ferocious beasts on his own, including a commander-level ferocious beast," Chang Fei said with emotion.

"Hehehe, I only learned about this by chance, so I came to Chairman Chang to inquire about it. It turns out it's true. If your general president knew this, he would definitely be happy, wouldn't he?"

"Yes, yes."

Chang Fei chuckled.

"That's all for now, Chairman Chang. Let's meet up for tea sometime when we have time," Wu Yu said with a smile.

"Okay, okay, thanks to Chairman Wu's information this time, otherwise I would still be in the dark about Brother Chen's scheme." Chang Fei laughed, and only after hanging up the phone did he breathe a sigh of relief.

This is not good...

Has Chen Fan's strength reached such a formidable level?

If it were Ling Yu, could he kill a commander-level ferocious beast all by himself? I'm afraid it would be difficult.

Does that mean that Brother Chen's strength has very likely surpassed Ling Yu's?

He clearly remembered that when Chen Fan joined the association, he was still a Transformation Realm martial artist. He killed many high-level ferocious beasts, causing quite a stir in the association.

But in such a short time, Chen Fan has become a True Essence Realm martial artist, capable of single-handedly killing a commander-level ferocious beast.

If it continues to grow at this terrifying rate, it's entirely possible that it will surpass the president in the future.

"No, I need to tell the president this right away!"

Thinking of this, Chang Fei quickly dialed Shi Tao's number.

The moment the call connected, before the other end could even speak, he blurted out, "President, something terrible has happened!"

"What's the big deal?"

Shi Tao, who had been calm, couldn't help but change his expression upon hearing his tone.

"Guild Master, Brother Chen is now capable of killing a Commander-level ferocious beast on his own. I think you should quickly send Ling Yu to apologize to him?"

"What?!"

Shi Tao exclaimed in surprise. His unusual behavior also made Ling Yu, who was meditating and cultivating nearby, open his eyes.

"Yes, President, you heard me right, and I'm not making this up. It's absolutely true."

Chang Fei spoke hurriedly, recounting how Wu Yu had just found him.

"President, judging from his attire, weapons, surname, and contact information, the person who appeared in Anxi City must be Brother Chen. President, do you remember what Brother Chen said a couple of days ago?"

Shi Tao's pupils contracted slightly.

"President, to put it bluntly, if Brother Chen were to come over now, would Ling Yu be a match for him? Rather than making the situation too tense, it would be better to let Ling Yu back down and sincerely apologize. Brother Chen probably wouldn't make things too difficult for him then. This way, it would be better for everyone."

"Chang Fei, I understand what you mean, but this matter really has nothing to do with Ling Yu," Shi Tao said.

"..."

Chang Fei was taken aback, then gave a wry smile and said, "President, even I don't believe what you're saying, let alone Brother Chen. Sigh, there's something I've always wanted to say: President, you've been too protective of Ling Yu all along."

Like this time, anyone with eyes can see that there's something wrong here, but until just now, you were still favoring Ling Yu.

President, take my advice and make Ling Yu apologize as soon as possible, while there's still time. Otherwise, I'm really afraid that one day...

"Don't worry."

Shi Tao interrupted him, "If that day really comes, with me there, neither of them will be in any danger."

"President, you may have misunderstood me."

Chang Fei shook his head.

"Did I misunderstand you?"

Shi Tao was somewhat puzzled.

"Yes, Chairman, what I'm worried about is that, given Brother Chen's rate of growth, when he comes to headquarters, even you won't be his match."

"What?!"

Shi Tao's pupils dilated, and an expression of disbelief appeared in his eyes.

"President, think about it. What was Brother Chen's strength when he first joined our association? What is his strength now? To be honest, I'm starting to suspect that he's actually an Awakened One, or that his martial arts talent surpasses our understanding."

Chang Fei smiled wryly, "Actually, I think it's a good thing that Brother Chen is coming now. The problem is that he doesn't plan to come now, but instead cultivates quietly for a while before coming. As I said before, even you, the guild leader, won't be his match then. As for Ling Yu..."

He didn't continue speaking.

Because it's obvious to everyone that Xiao Hong's matter is definitely related to Ling Yu.

At that time, given Chen Fan's temper, would he have indulged him?

If Ling Yu isn't crippled, then it's already a blessing from his ancestors.

The atmosphere quieted down.

Shi Tao squinted.

After a moment, he said, "Okay, I'll consider what you said. Is there anything else besides this?"

"There's one more thing."

Chang Fei truthfully replied, "Elder Sun and the others have made progress. They just refined a batch of True Qi Pills today, with eight finished pills, five of which are high-grade True Qi Pills."

"Oh?"

Shi Tao's eyes lit up. "That's great!"

"Yes, Elder Sun and his team are still researching, and I believe it won't be long before they are able to refine more high-grade True Qi Pills."

"Yes, I believe that with Elder Sun's and his team's capabilities, they can achieve this. Very good."

Shi Tao smiled and said, "Chang Fei, I'll need your help following along from now on. If you encounter any difficulties, just let me know."

"I will."

Chang Fei nodded, hesitated for a moment, and said, "President, you must carefully consider the first thing I just told you."

"Um."

Shi Tao responded.

Chang Fei hung up the phone and scratched his head.

He always felt that the chairman only made verbal promises and didn't actually take them to heart.

"Master, is that Uncle Chang calling?"

Seeing Shi Tao put away his phone, Ling Yu asked curiously.

"Yes."

Shi Tao smiled slightly at him, "Didn't you always feel that there weren't enough high-grade True Qi Pills? Elder Sun and the others have made progress and can now refine five high-grade True Qi Pills from one batch of True Qi Pills."

"Really!"

Upon hearing this, Ling Yu was overjoyed.

"Would your master lie to you?"

Shi Tao smiled. "Now you should be happy, right?"

"Well, Master," Ling Yu scratched his head and smiled innocently, "I think that the high-grade True Qi Pills should be supplied to you first. When you break through to the Celestial Realm, the strength of our Jiangnan Division Martial Arts Association will suddenly become the strongest among the five martial arts associations in Yan Kingdom. Perhaps you can even merge the five into one, and from now on, there will only be one martial arts association in Yan Kingdom."

"Should the five be combined into one?"

A sharp glint flashed in Shi Tao's eyes.

This was indeed one of his wishes; the other was to eliminate the ferocious beasts and rebuild the glory of the human race.

"Don't worry, Master has more than enough high-grade True Qi Pills. You need to work harder too, okay?"

He couldn't help but reach out and pat the latter's head.

How could he bear to make such a sensible disciple lower himself to admit his mistakes?

Perhaps, Chen Fan's strength is indeed increasing very quickly.

But how can you surpass him, who is about to enter the Celestial Realm?

Unrealistic.
