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

Chapter 443 The Council of Elders

"These spatial rings contain quite a few rare and precious materials."

Looking at the thirty-odd items displayed in his spatial storage, Chen Fan nodded slightly.

The most valuable items are two Earth Spirit Fruits, each worth 50,000 points. Consuming them can increase one's physical attributes.

The Celestial Fruit also costs 50,000 points and can increase the spirit attribute by two to three thousand points.

Considering that mental attributes are more difficult to improve than physical attributes such as strength and agility.

Therefore, for the same price, the physical attribute bonus from the Earth Spirit Fruit might be more than just two or three thousand points.

Besides the Earth Spirit Fruit, there are five other valuable treasures, each worth 10,000 points. Some of these treasures enhance physical attributes, while others enhance agility and strength.

Preliminary estimates suggest an improvement of several hundred points.

Besides these three, there are more than twenty other items, with prices ranging from several hundred to several thousand points.

Those with several thousand points will see a larger increase, ranging from several hundred to a thousand points.

Those who used to have hundreds of points might now only have tens or hundreds.

Chen Fan didn't take it to heart.

As the saying goes, even a mosquito's leg is still meat, no matter how small.

Actually, he accumulates points quite quickly, often accumulating hundreds of thousands of points, making it easy for him to exchange them for treasures.

However, he has always used his points to exchange for martial arts manuals.

And so, a whole lot of martial arts techniques still haven't been exchanged.

"Anything else?"

Chen Fan asked.

"There really aren't any left."

Kevin cried.

He had already given away all the items in his spatial storage; the items inside were what he had accumulated by robbing several groups of people.

Of course, not all of them were obtained through robbery.

Some of them he found himself.

Now, they have all become Chen Fan's possessions, and his heart is bleeding.

"Is that so? It seems I'll have to break another leg before you'll tell the truth."

Chen Fan sneered.

"There really aren't any left."

Kevin cried out, "Even if you kill me, I won't have anything more to offer."

Chen Fan looked at him for a while, and seeing that he didn't seem to be lying, he nodded and said, "Okay, I'll believe you this once."

Including the large spatial ring from before, the gains from just that one person alone amounted to two or three hundred thousand points.

Not worth it.

Kevin finally breathed a sigh of relief.

However, I didn't completely relax.

He was afraid that once he lost his usefulness, this guy would kill him without hesitation.

"now you."

Chen Fan walked up to the next person.

Kevin finally breathed a sigh of relief.

In any case, his life should be saved now.

The person being looked at by Chen Fan broke out in a cold sweat and stammered out how to open his spatial ring.

"Brother, all our valuables are on Kevin, so I don't have many good items in my inventory."

He spoke cautiously.

"Yeah?"

Chen Fan gave a noncommittal response.

Upon opening the spatial ring, I was immediately somewhat surprised.

This spatial ring also has an internal space of one hundred cubic meters.

His gaze swept over the others. Could it be that all of them had such large spatial rings?

If all of these are true, then this time, he will be able to make a fortune using the items in his spatial storage.

Just as the other party had said, there were very few good items inside the ring.

There are only three or four treasures that can improve physical attributes, and their value is around one or two thousand points.

After glancing at him, Chen Fan walked to the next person.

Having learned from past mistakes, those who followed naturally cooperated fully.

Watching Chen Fan collect one spatial item after another into his pocket.

It would be a lie to say that Shen Si and the others weren't envious.

But it's just simple envy.

Because Chen Fan deserved it all.

Soon, all the spatial items on the bodies of the dozen or so people fell into Chen Fan's hands.

Among them are three large spatial rings, each with an internal space of one hundred cubic meters.

The remaining twenty or so are medium-sized, with an internal storage space of only ten cubic meters.

They may not look like large spatial items, but they are numerous.

A medium-sized spatial item with a volume of 10 cubic meters is worth 10,000 points. Ten of them would be worth 100,000 points, and twenty of them would be worth 200,000 points.

If you also include the three large spatial rings, the total value is as high as 50 points!

Chen Fan felt that these alone were already a great deal.

Not to mention, there are also treasures worth three to four hundred thousand points inside.

Seeing Chen Fan standing there motionless, the group of Fengguo people dared not make a sound.

Some people are filled with panic and helplessness.

They didn't know if they would survive the day.

Some, however, made a silent vow in their hearts.

If I make it back alive today, I'll definitely skin that masked guy alive, tear him to pieces!

Not only him, but also the people behind him, and that Jiangnan District Martial Arts Association, they all have to die!

Especially Kevin.

He stared at Chen Fan's retreating figure, his eyes filled with deep resentment.

He had never suffered such a great injustice since he came to Yan Kingdom!

Every Yan people he met on ordinary days treated him with utmost respect and deference.

As a result, the guy in front of him actually cut off one of his arms!

Damn!

That guy deserves to die!

Just then, a voice rang out.

"Brother Chen," a martial artist said, pointing at Kevin, "the way he looked at you was as if he wanted to tear you to pieces."

Kevin was nearly scared to death when he heard this.

"Yeah?"

Chen Fan turned around and said with a half-smile.

"I saw it too, Brother Chen. His eyes were full of resentment when he looked at you. He must hate you very much."

Shen Si nodded and said.

"No, I really didn't."

Kevin was kicking himself.

He never expected that even in his dire straits, this group of Yan people would still be fixated on him.

"So you really wanted to kill me."

Chen Fan sighed softly, "You know what? Originally, I wanted you to leave."

Upon hearing this, Shen Si and the others desperately suppressed the urge to smile.

"No, don't kill us."

Some people panicked and kept pleading, "Please, let us go. We've already given you all our valuables, haven't we?"

"Yes, we really didn't hide anything."

"Please, let us go. We'd like to be your friends."

"If you think this isn't enough, let us go back, and we can give you more."

The group kept pleading.

They are all from Maple Country!

How could I die here in such a miserable state?

……

At the same moment, two figures in the distance were also rapidly approaching this place.

One of them, like Kevin and the others in the rainforest, had blond hair and blue eyes and was from Maple Country. However, unlike them, his eyes were very sharp, like a wolf's.

The other person, with black hair and black eyes, appeared to be from Yan country.

The two chatted and laughed.

"Mr. John, at the elders' meeting a month from now, we hope you can persuade the others in your Revival Society to give more support to our Song family."

The middle-aged man with black hair said with a smile, a very obsequious one.

Ten years ago, the world underwent a dramatic change, and the Yan Kingdom experienced earth-shattering transformations.

In the present-day Yan Kingdom, the highest authority is the Council of Elders, composed of five elders.

All major decisions are made by the five elders in the council after deliberation and voting.

For example, the operation a few years ago that used countless nuclear bombs to eliminate the Beast King-level ferocious beast was carried out by the Elder Council.

This includes mobilizing the entire nation's resources to cultivate three S-level Awakened Individuals.

This demonstrates the status of the elders.

But how did the elders come about?

The answer is that they were selected from among the dozen or so powerful families that controlled the Yan Kingdom.

Every three years, the elders of the council are reshuffled.

The former elders stepped down and were replaced by newly appointed elders.

Of course, there are elders who can be re-elected, but they are very few.

The fourth election for elders is about to begin, and various powerful families are openly and secretly vying for more support.

The Song family, as one of the powerful families that control the Yan Kingdom, only managed to secure a seat in the first council of elders. They failed to obtain one in the following two councils. As a result, they have suffered a lot of suppression in recent years and their strength is far inferior to those other families.

The people of Fengguo hold a very high position and are quite powerful in Yanguo. If they can win their support, the Song family will receive a lot of help in the elder election a month later.

If they can get strong support from the Revival Society, then it's almost a certainty that the Song family will get a place in the Elders' Council.

Upon hearing this, the blond man, John, smiled slightly and said, "Song, you're my friend. If I don't support you, who should I support? But convincing my friends won't be an easy task."

Upon hearing this, Song Gang inwardly cursed the other party's shamelessness.

People from Feng Kingdom are able to establish themselves and gain a foothold in Yan Kingdom.

Although the Song family wasn't the biggest contributor, they still put in a lot of effort, and in doing so, they completely offended several other families.

Because those aristocratic families agreed with the saying "those who are not of our race will surely have different hearts," they were firmly opposed to letting the people of Feng Kingdom enter.

Although, in the end, the people from Feng Kingdom still managed to get in.

In addition, the Song family also gives the Revival Association gifts worth tens of millions of points every year, without fail.

That's not all; gifts were also given to individuals within the Revival Society.

Like this John, the Song family sends him gifts worth millions of points every year, and all the miscellaneous items add up to two or three million.

They hoped that he could speak well of the Song family in the Revival Society and win over some allies.

As a result, this beast was still not satisfied!

Despite his anger, Song Gang maintained a friendly demeanor. "Mr. John, please rest assured. As long as you can garner more support for the Song family, we will repay you handsomely."

"Ha ha ha ha."

John laughed and gave him a thumbs up, saying, "Song, you're a really good person. I admire you."

"I also admire Mr. John very much."

Song Gang laughed.
