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

Even several C-level Awakened within the association said so, let alone others.

For a time, the association was filled with lamentations and was in a state of utter misery.

"You lot, I'm not trying to be mean, but have you all forgotten how this Celestial Fruit came to be?"

Hua Jun smiled.

"How did you get here?"

Everyone was stunned at first, then their pupils lit up.

Yes, this Heavenly God Fruit was bestowed upon President Hua by the Chairman!

"You remember now?"

Hua Jun smiled and continued, "Don't even mention you guys, even I can't afford this Heavenly God Fruit, but the guild leader can afford it, and not only can he afford it, he can give it away without even blinking an eye."

"You don't know, just now in the president's office, when the president put the Heavenly God Fruit on the table and asked me to take it, I was stunned. I thought I was dreaming."

The group exchanged bewildered glances, thinking that they would be just as bewildered if they were in that situation.

To give an example, it's like ten years ago, when they worked hard and earned a monthly salary of three thousand, one day their boss called them into his office, placed millions of dollars in cash in front of them, and told them to take it.

"President Hua, what happened next?"

Someone asked.

"Later, the president's voice rang out, sounding somewhat impatient. He urged me to take the Heavenly God Fruit quickly, and that if there was nothing else, I could leave."

Hua Jun said, not knowing whether to laugh or cry.

He wasn't lying, because that was indeed the situation at the time.

"Did Chairman Li urge Chairman Hua to accept it?"

"My God, this is a treasure worth 50,000 points!"

"President Li is really rich and powerful! I doubt he even cares about a single Celestial Fruit?"

"Of course! Chairman Li is an A-level Awakened One. He can easily earn hundreds of thousands of points just by going out once!"

"Really? Are A-level Awakened beings really that lucrative?"

"Nonsense! How many A-level Awakeners does our Yan Kingdom have in total? It's not an exaggeration to say that only one in ten thousand can earn us many points."

The crowd buzzed with discussion, their voices filled with envy.

"Actually, not only me, but you all have this opportunity too."

Suddenly, Hua Jun said something.

The surroundings suddenly became quiet; you could hear a pin drop.

Seeing the astonishment in everyone's eyes, Hua Jun said solemnly, "Yes, you heard me right. Not only me, but everyone here has this opportunity, as long as you work honestly for the chairman."

"Just do your job obediently for the chairman?"

These words were being muttered by the crowd.

"Think about it, why did I receive the chairman's favor? Isn't it because I've been working for him all along? It's just that I'm very close to him and can see him every day, so I was the first to receive his approval."

Hua Jun looked at Xie Ming and the others, "Brother Xie, he has seen and remembered your contributions to the association over this period of time. I have also benefited from your contributions."

"No, no, no."

Xie Ming was both excited and apprehensive. He waved his hands repeatedly and said, "Brother Hua, you're exaggerating. How could our contributions to the association possibly be as great as yours? In fact, we should be the ones benefiting from your success."

"Yes, yes, Chairman Hua, please don't say that. What we did was just a few small things. How can it compare to your overall planning?"

The people around Xie Ming also chimed in.

But I was very happy inside.

Although Hua Jun didn't say it explicitly, he had already hinted at it quite clearly.

As long as they work hard from now on, why should they worry about not receiving a reward from the chairman?

Even if what they obtained wasn't as precious as the Heavenly God Fruit, they would be overjoyed if it was worth ten or twenty thousand points.

"hehe."

Hua Jun smiled at them but didn't continue speaking.

After all, he wasn't the president, so he couldn't make any definitive statements, otherwise it would be overstepping his bounds. If he were the president, he wouldn't be happy to hear this news either.

The next moment, he turned his gaze to everyone present.

"You too, the president has seen the benefits you have made to the association during this time. Keep up the good work, and the president will not let you down."

"Yes, Chairman Hua!"

Upon hearing this, everyone was overjoyed, their eyes shining with delight.

In fact, they all knew that Hua Jun was just making empty promises to them.

Like Xie Ming and those other C-level Awakeners, who received Chairman Li's attention and rewards, it's possible that ordinary D-level or even E-level Awakeners like them could have the same opportunity.

However, people tend to have a tendency to take chances.

What if?

What if Chairman Li is in a good mood one day and rewards them with something?

After all, in their knowledge, they had never heard of any guild leader being so generous as to give away a treasure worth 50,000 points to his subordinates.

Seeing this, Hua Jun nodded secretly.

Having achieved his goal, and with time running out, he should head back to consume the Celestial Fruit and enhance his spiritual power.

After all, keeping this thing unused is a waste of resources.

"Alright, that's all for today. Everyone, go back and continue your cultivation."

Hua Jun coughed. "Everyone has seen what the Martial Arts Association has been up to lately. If we don't work hard, we might get overtaken."

After saying that, he nodded to Xie Ming and the others, and then walked forward.

"Let's go back too."

Xie Ming and the others also left.

However, after walking a distance, someone in the group quietly asked, "Big brother, if we work hard, will we one day receive a reward from Chairman Li?"

"Fifth brother, what are you saying?" the second brother shouted, "Didn't we put our hearts into our work before?"

"No, no, Second Brother, I misspoke," the fifth brother said, his face flushed. "What I meant was, if we keep working so diligently, will we also receive a reward from Chairman Li?"

The atmosphere quieted down, and everyone's gazes turned to Xie Ming, who was in the lead.

The latter looked ahead and said calmly, "Just do good deeds and don't worry about the future."

"what?"

The fifth brother opened his mouth wide.

"Just don't think about anything else, just focus on your work. The chairman will know," the third brother said, glancing at him.

"oh."

The fifth brother shut his mouth and said no more.

Xie Ming narrowed his eyes slightly.

Don't let his calm demeanor fool you, he was actually drooling with envy.

But he knew even more clearly that what was his would eventually come to him, and what wasn't his would be useless to beg for, and would only make the chairman unhappy.

Why not keep doing this? Perhaps one day, fate will smile upon you.

……

Meanwhile, in Yandi City.

As one of the three mega-cities, Yandi City is filled with skyscrapers and colorful lights, making the entire city as bright as day.

Such bright lights would naturally attract the attention of many flying ferocious beasts.

However, there are many powerful individuals stationed in the high-rise building, so even if flying ferocious beasts attack, they are usually killed immediately without causing any panic.

Just then, a luxury car stopped in front of a tall building, the door opened, and a young man stepped out.

He looked rather disheveled and his expression was quite displeased.

"Young Master Bai Xuan."

A middle-aged man in a suit and tie immediately led several people up, looking very cautious.

After all, it's obvious to anyone with eyes that this young master of the Bai family is in a bad mood right now. If you accidentally offend him, you might not be able to save your life.

Bai Xuan glanced at the group, frowned, and asked, "Where's my dad?"

"President Bai is reading in his study."

"take me."

"Yes, Young Master Bai Xuan."

The middle-aged man quickly led the way.

Inside the hall, two women in cheongsams stood on either side, their breasts full, waists slender, and faces pretty. Upon seeing Bai Xuan arrive, they greeted him warmly. If it were an ordinary person, they would have been completely captivated and unable to move.

Bai Xuan frowned deeply, not even bothering to glance at him.

Led by the middle-aged man, they entered the private elevator, and the former then pressed the button for the 32nd floor.

This Baihao Building is an asset of the Bai family. It has 36 floors, and from the 30th floor onwards, only core members of the Bai family are allowed to enter.

"Ding-dong."

With a soft click, the elevator doors slowly opened.

The two of them, one in front of the other, arrived at a gate.

"Knock knock, knock knock."

The middle-aged man knocked on the door. "Mr. Bai, Young Master Bai Xuan has arrived."

"Let him in."

A strong, resonant voice rang out from inside the room.

"Yes."

The middle-aged man smiled and turned to look at Bai Xuan.

The latter nodded, pushed open the door, and went inside.

The room was decorated in a magnificent and opulent style, surpassing even the grandeur of past emperors.

Bai Xuan walked to the study door with practiced ease, knocked on the door, and then pushed it open and went inside.

"You're back?"

Behind the office chair, a middle-aged man with a square face and thick eyebrows put down the book in his hand and asked with a smile, "What's wrong? Did this trip not go smoothly?"

"It wasn't just not going well, it was going absolutely not going well at all."

As Bai Xuan spoke, he plopped down on the sofa, picked up the teapot next to him, and started drinking.

"You little rascal, are you really born in the Year of the Ox? Drinking tea like that?"

The middle-aged man chuckled and scolded, his eyes filled with affection.

He had many sons, but the most promising one was the son standing before him.

In his early twenties, he had already reached the second level of the True Essence Realm and had also cultivated the Vajra Indestructible Divine Art to a high level, earning him the favor of several elders in the family.

"I told you long ago that opportunities aren't so easy to snatch, but you wouldn't believe me. Now you know, right? Besides, so what if you didn't get the Azure Dragon Fruit?"

He laughed and said, "If you really want it, I'll talk to the family later, and I guarantee I'll deliver a dragon fruit to you within a week."

"Dad, it's not what you think."

Bai Xuan put down the teapot and said angrily, "It's not that I, your son, can't compete with others, but that some people lack martial ethics and don't even give me a chance to take it."

"What do you mean?"

The middle-aged man was stunned. (End of Chapter)
