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

Chapter 488 You saw it, the future of Anshan City?

The experience I just had was terrifying; it wouldn't be an exaggeration to say it was a brush with death.

Therefore, she had almost forgotten why she had turned back and entered Anshan City halfway.

Now, she finally remembers.

I've come to deliver a message!

The beast tide has erupted!

Anshan City, being a small city, and one of the outermost ones at that, was as fragile as glass in the face of the beast tide, shattering at the slightest touch.

Go to the Awakened Ones Association in Anshan City to find him three days later.

Will Anshan City still exist three days later?

Thinking of this, she hurriedly said, "President Li, last night, the ferocious beasts on the outskirts rioted. I think there might be another beast tide. If the beast tide really breaks out, Anshan City definitely won't be able to hold out. In my opinion, we should leave Anshan City and find a medium-sized, no, preferably a large city to stay in?"

She said this not because she was concerned about Chen Fan's safety, but because she was worried that if something happened to Chen Fan, she wouldn't be able to get the Longevity Manual back.

If the Longevity Mantra were in her hands right now, she would definitely turn around and leave without saying a word.

"What's the panic?"

Chen Fan glanced at her.

"?"

Wang Lingling was taken aback, then realized, "Oh right, how could I forget? This person's true identity is an Awakened One whose special ability is precognition."

What just happened is the best example.

"Chairman Li, what do you mean?"

She asked cautiously, "Won't a beast tide break out?"

Chen Fan shook his head and slowly uttered a single word, "Yes."

"what?"

Wang Lingling's heart, which had finally settled down, jumped into her throat again.

Will a beast tide erupt?

How could I not panic?

"The beast tide will break out, but Anshan City can hold it."

Chen Fan glanced at her and said.

Actually, the reason he needed to borrow the Longevity Formula for three days was...

On the one hand, it's to avoid arousing suspicion from the other party.

On the other hand, they want the other party to work for them.

Tomorrow, the beast tide will arrive at Anshan City and launch an attack on the city.

If nothing unexpected happens, the flying and burrowing beasts that used to appear in the city will no longer appear because they have been eliminated, but just in case.

If any escapees do manage to get away with it, it will be difficult for both Hua Jun and his group from the Awakeners Association, and Sun Wei and his group from the Martial Arts Association, to deal with them.

This Wang Lingling is a genuine True Yuan Realm martial artist.

With her help in the city, even if a commander-level ferocious beast appears, she can hold it off for a while. If it is an elite-level beast, she can kill it much faster than others.

Of course, he wouldn't reveal this plan.

After all, the woman in front of him seemed quite shrewd and not easily fooled.

If she finds out, she'll probably raise the price on the spot.

"Can Ansan Castle be defended?"

Sure enough, upon hearing this, Wang Lingling's face was filled with doubt.

A beast tide? That's a beast tide!

Can Ansan City, a small city, hold out? Unless the sun rises in the west tomorrow.

"Have you forgotten what my special ability is?"

Chen Fan offered a "kind" reminder.

"Your superpower!"

Wang Lingling was startled, her voice tinged with excitement.

"Chairman Li, do you mean you see the future of Anshan City?"

"good."

Chen Fan nodded.

"How is this possible?"

Upon seeing this, Wang Lingling looked incredulous.

Anshan City's strength is so-so, how can it withstand the impact of the beast tide?

correct!

She jolted awake, her gaze falling on Chen Fan.

It's all thanks to him!

"That must be it!"

Wang Lingling thought to herself.

If she hadn't seen it with her own eyes, she wouldn't have believed that a Celestial Realm martial artist could be hiding in a mere small city.

With a Celestial Realm martial artist in charge, there is indeed a possibility of holding off the beast tide.

But it's not that easy, is it?

That was a beast tide. As the name suggests, ferocious beasts surged in like a tide. What was even more terrifying was that they were not only on the ground, but also flying in the sky and burrowing underground.

Even if we were to defend it, Anshan City would likely suffer heavy losses.

Not to mention, even if they can hold off the first wave, there will be a second wave, a third wave... Unless the beast tide retreats midway, sooner or later, Anshan City will be overwhelmed by endless ferocious beasts.

"Could he be lying to me?"

Wang Lingling muttered to herself.

However, the fact that the other party anticipated that he would come to him and accurately predicted that the Qin family would come is enough to prove that he is indeed a prophet.

Moreover, there seems to be no reason to deceive oneself.

"Nothing is impossible."

Chen Fan saw through her thoughts and said calmly, "You can go to other places or stay in Anshan City during these three days. After three days, come to the Awakener Association to find me, and I will return the Longevity Manual to you."

Hearing Chen Fan say this, Wang Lingling hesitated for a moment, then nodded and said, "Then I'll stay in Anshan City for now."

Just to be on the safe side, she decided to stay closer to Chen Fan.

It's not just about the secret to immortality.

It's also for their own safety.

"what ever."

Chen Fan nodded slightly, glanced at the rising sun in the east, and said, "It's getting late. If you've decided to stay in Anshan City, then go back."

"Why?"

Wang Lingling asked in surprise, "President Li, you're not coming back with me?"

"I have other things to do."

Chen Fan shook his head.

After saying that, he headed towards the direction of Blazing Valley.

"What's up?"

Wang Lingling looked in the direction Chen Fan had disappeared, her face showing confusion.

What could happen?

Could it be that they're planning to escape with the Longevity Formula?

No, no, no, that guy is a Celestial Realm martial artist, and the president of the Awakener Association. He shouldn't do something so shameless.

"Forget it, whatever he does has nothing to do with me. In three days, I'll retrieve my things and leave here to find a safe place to stay."

She glanced at the corpses on the ground and felt a weight lift from her shoulders.

No matter what, she had escaped death once. However, according to that person, there were special methods recorded on the parchment containing the secret to immortality.

She didn't have any particularly good methods either.

give up?

That's a god-level martial art; she's spent so much time and energy on it, she wouldn't give it up even if it meant death.

However, if you carry it with you, the Qin family might have similar methods and send someone to find you again. At that time, it might not be a True Essence Realm martial artist who comes, but a Celestial Realm martial artist.

"Perhaps staying by Li's side all the time is a good idea?"

An idea suddenly popped into her mind.

After all, that guy surnamed Li is not only powerful, but also has the ability to predict the future.

But that guy wasn't stupid; he was ruthless. Since I hadn't agreed to his deal, he just stood by and watched me die.

If he finds out about my plans, it certainly won't be so easy for him to get what he wants.

Thinking about this, Wang Lingling felt a headache coming on.

"Never mind, we'll see when the time comes."

She turned and headed towards Anshan City.

Before long, she entered the city gate.

Unlike her previous hurried pace, this time she had the leisure to take in the unremarkable little city.

She wondered if it was just her imagination, but she felt that the ordinary people living here, despite their tattered clothes, had smiles that were much brighter than those in other cities.

The entire city was filled with the lively atmosphere of everyday life.

"Is it because they moved in for free?"

Wang Lingling thought to herself.

Unless they are awakened beings or very powerful martial artists, the people in those small villages will never have the opportunity to live in the city in their entire lives.

However, because of Li Ping, these people moved in.

Knowing that this happiness was hard-won, they cherished it all the more, immersed themselves in it, and were full of fantasies about the future.

"What a pity."

Wang Lingling sighed softly.

These people were kept in the dark, completely unaware that the beast tide had already broken out and would soon arrive at the gates of Anshan City.

This hard-won happiness will soon be destroyed by the beast tide.

She shook her head and continued walking forward.

Before we knew it, we had arrived at the halfway point of the mountain.

A magnificent building appeared by the roadside, with the words "Anshan City Martial Arts Association" prominently displayed on its top floor.

"Martial Arts Association?"

Wang Lingling's face showed a hint of surprise, followed by a strange expression.

The people in this martial arts association probably don't know that there is a Celestial Realm martial artist in the Awakeners Association in the city.

"Since we're going to be here for three more days anyway, and we've got nothing else to do, we might as well go in and take a look, and maybe find someone to spar with."

A mischievous smile appeared on her face, and she walked towards the Martial Arts Association.

After all, he had just gone through a life-or-death battle. His wounds had been treated, but he was still a bit tense and needed to relax and let off some steam.

At this point, beating some weaker opponents is a good option.

"Hello, beautiful lady, how can I help you?"

A woman walked over and was surprised when she saw Wang Lingling's face.

"It's nothing, I was just curious and came in for a look."

Wang Lingling smiled sweetly.

"Shall we take a look around?"

The woman was taken aback.

"Why, is that not allowed?"

"Sure, sure," the woman quickly replied with a smile. "Of course, if you don't mind, I can show you around our association."

"OK."

Wang Lingling nodded.

"Okay, please follow me."

The woman gestured for them to proceed, saying, "As you can see, this is our association's main hall, where the association's martial artists accept missions. Inside..."

Before she could finish speaking, Wang Lingling raised her hand to interrupt her.

Who is the strongest person in your association?

"The strongest person?"

"Mmm." Wang Lingling nodded.

"The strongest person is, of course, our association's president, Mr. Sun."

The woman's eyes were filled with admiration. "Our Chairman Sun is a Qi Refining Realm martial artist, and the only one in our association at that level."

"A martial artist at the Meridian Refining Realm..."

Wang Lingling pursed her lips, thinking to herself that she had just expected this.

The woman was quite perceptive; noticing the slight change in her expression, she guessed who she was and cautiously asked, "Beautiful lady, who are you?"

After all, this person has maintained a calm and collected demeanor since the beginning, which suggests that he is not a simple individual.

If she says anything confrontational, it could easily bring unnecessary trouble to herself and her association.

"I?"

Wang Lingling smiled enigmatically, not answering directly, but instead pressing further: "So, in your association, apart from your president, everyone else is a martial artist at the entry level?"

Yes, yes.

The woman had no choice but to nod, then suddenly she thought of something and said, "Besides Brother Chen."

"What do you mean?"

Wang Lingling asked curiously, "Who is this Brother Chen you mentioned? Is he also at the Qi Refining Realm? But didn't you just say that your association only has one Qi Refining Realm martial artist? Is that your association president?"

"Yes, that's right."

The woman stammered, "Because... because no one in our association knows Brother Chen's true strength."

"What?"

Wang Lingling exclaimed in surprise.

Instantly, many martial artists around turned their gazes towards him.

Wang Lingling quickly pulled the woman aside and asked curiously, "What did you mean by what you just said? Does nobody know his true strength?"

Yes, yes.

The woman cautiously looked around. "When Brother Chen first joined our association, he was already a Qi Refining martial artist. Now, some people in the association say he's long since become a Meridian Refining martial artist."

Some people say that Brother Chen is at the True Yuan Realm. Someone asked the guild leader about it, but the guild leader was very tight-lipped about it, so I have no way to give a specific answer.

"This tiny martial arts association in Anshan City actually has a True Yuan Realm martial artist?"

Wang Lingling was surprised.

But then again, who would have thought that the president of the Anshan City Awakeners Association was actually a Celestial Realm martial artist?

So, there might actually be a True Yuan Realm expert here.

"That's interesting."

She coughed lightly and said, "Where is that guy surnamed Chen now? Just tell him that someone wants to spar with him."

"Shall we have a friendly spar?"

The woman's eyes widened suddenly as she stared at Wang Lingling, her voice filled with shock as she exclaimed, "You...you're a True Yuan Realm martial artist?"

"What! A True Essence Realm martial artist?"

"A True Essence Realm martial artist?"

"Where? Where are the True Essence Realm martial artists?"

In an instant, the once quiet hall erupted into a frenzy, like boiling water.

"That woman, is she a True Essence Realm martial artist?"

Some people's eyes fell on Wang Lingling, their eyes filled with suspicion.

real or fake?

This woman looks to be in her early twenties, right? Could she really be a True Yuan Realm martial artist?

"Could it be that Kobayashi made a mistake?"

"Yes, that woman, no matter how you look at it, couldn't possibly be at the True Essence Realm, right? Our Chairman Sun is the Meridian Refining Realm."

However, Wang Lingling, under the gaze of everyone, was not flustered at all, but rather extremely happy. However, she did not show it on her face, but instead nodded in a haughty manner and said, "That's right, I am a True Yuan Realm martial artist."

In an instant, the hall fell into a deathly silence, as if time had stood still.

"What, you don't believe it?"

Wang Lingling's gaze swept over everyone present, and she said calmly, "If anyone is not convinced, they can come out and spar with me. Of course, I advise you all to come at me together."
