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

"I'm sorry, young man Chen, we've dragged you down."

Shen Si sighed and said, "If it weren't for us, you wouldn't have gotten into such big trouble..."

Chen Fan interrupted him, saying, "President Shen, there's no point in saying all this now. Besides, to be honest, I already knew back then that this day would come."

"You, you thought this day would come?" Shen Si was taken aback.

"Yes, the truth will eventually come out. Besides, the Song family is a prestigious family with a foundation that ordinary people can't match. It's only a matter of time before it's exposed." Chen Fan said calmly.

Yes, yes.

Shen Si smiled bitterly upon hearing this.

I was too naive and tried to deceive everyone.

But there's no such thing as a free lunch. With Song Gang and the members of the Revival Society, the Song family would never choose to give up.

And that's how they found a breakthrough.

"Brother Chen, what do you think we should do next to deal with the Song family's retaliation?" He took a deep breath and said, "I suspect that the Song family already knows about our connection to Song Gang's death, but they haven't taken any action yet. They're probably preparing. Once they're ready, they'll probably come looking for trouble."

Chen Fan thought to himself that this was indeed the case.

Moreover, the Song family acted even faster than expected, arriving at headquarters by noon the next day.

"President Shen, where is President Shi now?"

"The Grand Master?"

Shen Si jumped in alarm and quickly said, "The president went out on a mission and just left yesterday. Oh no, if the Song family comes and the president isn't here..."

He dared not think any further.

"President Shen, it's best to inform President Shi about this matter as soon as possible. This time, the matter is of utmost importance."

Although the Song family went to headquarters to inquire about his whereabouts, the whole incident ultimately stemmed from Shen Si and others.

Shi Tao certainly couldn't stand idly by, and given his personality, he wouldn't choose to do so.

At that time, they will have two Celestial Realm warriors on their side. With his current strength, he is strong enough to kill an ordinary Beast King-level ferocious beast. Dealing with a Celestial Realm early stage warrior should not be a problem.

In this way, even if all three Celestial Realm martial artists from the Song family arrived, it would be difficult for them to gain an advantage.

"Okay, I'll inform the president immediately!"

Shen Si readily agreed.

"Then, after you finish, could you please help me investigate a few more people? I don't know their names, but I've drawn their faces and will send them to you via email later."

During that time, he wasn't idle either; relying on his memory, he drew all the people in the scene.

He needed to know exactly how many Celestial Realm martial artists were among the people from the Song family who would be coming tomorrow. After all, knowing yourself and your enemy is the key to victory in every battle.

"Okay, no problem. Is there anything else?" Shen Sizhui asked.

That's all for now.

Chen Fan shook his head.

That's all he can think of right now.

"I'll head to headquarters first thing tomorrow morning. We can talk about anything else then."

"What? Young Master Chen, you're coming to headquarters? Great! Great!"

Upon hearing the news that Chen Fan was coming to headquarters, Shen Si was initially delighted, but her smile quickly froze.

Chen Fan's arrival at this time may not be a good thing. He is a thorn in the side of the Song family, who want to get rid of him as soon as possible.

The Song family's strength should not be underestimated. If the Jiangnan District Martial Arts Association were to clash with them, the former would undoubtedly be the one to be wiped out.

Unless they find several other associations to work together against the Song family.

However, the Song family is not to be trifled with. They can also unite with other powerful families. In this way, the Martial Arts Association is still inferior to them in terms of strength, and the gap is even widening.

After hanging up the phone, Shen Si immediately called Shi Tao.

"President, please answer the phone no matter what!"

He prayed silently.

Luckily, the call was answered shortly afterward.

"Old Shen, what's wrong?"

Shi Tao's somewhat weary voice rang out, "Has something happened at headquarters?"

"Yes, President."

Just as Shen Si was about to reveal the truth, she suddenly remembered something and asked, "President, is it convenient for you to talk now? What I'm about to say is that matter."

"That matter?"

Shi Tao asked in confusion, then seemed to understand and said, "Okay, I understand."

A second or two later, his voice rang out again.

"Is it about the Song family?"

"Yes, Chairman."

Shen Si said urgently, "The Song family probably already knows the truth about Song Gang's death and is plotting how to attack us."

"How did they know?"

Shi Tao's tone sounded calm, as if he had known all along.

"They sent people to infiltrate the headquarters and kidnapped Jiang Tao right under my nose. From Jiang Tao, we learned everything."

Shen Si said angrily and anxiously, "These aristocratic families are really too arrogant. For the past few years, we have always kept to ourselves and not interfere with each other. Moreover, they are the ones who have been forcing us to do this, and they are still doing so now."

"Are they coming to headquarters to arrest people?"

Shi Tao's voice turned cold.

Let alone coming to headquarters to arrest someone, even if it's not headquarters but somewhere else, once he finds out, it's impossible to let it go unpunished.

"Yes, President, I'm worried that the Song family will take action within the next two days. I think they may already know that you are not at headquarters right now, and that you are only accompanied by Elder Wang. I'm afraid that I may not be able to stop them. Moreover, even if Elder Wang knows about this, he may not necessarily take action," Shen Si said worriedly.

Shi Tao narrowed his eyes.

This is true.

Unless the Song family really intends to flatten the headquarters, Old Master Wang will not intervene.

More importantly, Old Wang is not currently at headquarters, but in Anshan City, a thousand or two kilometers away...

"I understand, I'll be right back."

He is determined to get an explanation from the Song family regarding this matter.

That's right, his fists aren't as strong as the Song family's right now, but if the Song family really bullies people because of their power, he won't say anything. When his strength surpasses the Song family's, he will naturally come back and repay them in kind.

"Okay, President."

Shen Sixin was overjoyed.

At the president's speed, he can probably get back in a few hours.

Even if the Song family moves quickly and arrives first thing tomorrow morning, there's no need to worry too much.

"Oh, right," Shen Si suddenly remembered something, "Brother Chen will also be coming tomorrow."

"Is Chen Fan coming tomorrow too, to headquarters?"

Shi Tao was a little surprised. "Did you tell him about this?"

After all, Chen Fan was thousands of miles away, how could he know what was happening at headquarters?

"No, President," Shen Si said with great shame, "Actually, it was Brother Chen who found out about this first, and then he called to inform me."

"What?"

Shi Tao's mouth was slightly open.

"Did he find out first? How did he find out first?"

"oops!"

Shen Si slapped his forehead and said with a wry smile, "Things were too urgent at the time, and I forgot to ask. Now that I think about it, it's really unbelievable. I was in headquarters and I didn't even know Jiang Tao had disappeared, yet he knew. He even told me that the Song family had learned everything from him. It's strange. Could he possibly be a prophet?"

"Predicting the future?"

Shi Tao frowned slightly.

"By the way, Chairman, Brother Chen also said he would send me an email with portraits of several people in it. He asked me to check their identities."

Shen Si continued.

"Okay, do as he says." Shi Tao nodded. "I'll discuss the specifics when I get back."

"Okay, President, be careful on the road."

"Um."

Shi Tao hung up the phone, his deep gaze fixed on the dark night sky.

For some reason, he felt uneasy, as if he would lose something very important if he went back this time.

Is it the Jiangnan District Martial Arts Association?

He didn't think so.

If this matter gets out, the association will be in the right, and no matter how arrogant the Song family is, they cannot do whatever they want.

But I can't quite put my finger on what it is.

"We'll know everything when we get back. Hopefully, nothing bad will happen."

He sighed.

Upon arriving in Anshan City and encountering the association, Chen Fan breathed a sigh of relief.

Fortunately, I had foreseen this, otherwise, unexpected consequences would have occurred.

Because of this matter, he has to spend time, which will likely increase the difficulty of defending Anshan City in the early hours of tomorrow.

If those burrowing beasts are not completely eliminated, then casualties within the city will be difficult to avoid.

"Do your best and leave the rest to fate."

Chen Fan sighed helplessly.

In chaotic times, protecting yourself and your family is the most important thing. Once you've done that, if you still have the energy, then help out as much as you can.

His gaze then fell on the skill bar.

It's time to elevate all these martial arts techniques to their perfect state.

As flashes of inspiration crossed his mind, the experience points on the panel decreased at a visible rate.

[Heavenly Frost Fist],

【Wind God Leg】

【Dispelling Clouds Palm】

The three peerless martial arts techniques significantly increased physical attributes and also brought the [Three-Part Return to Origin Qi] into a complete state.

As a supreme martial art, the Three-Part Returning Qi also possesses formidable defensive capabilities; however, it still falls short of the Undying Golden Body.

Needless to say, after the fusion, the indestructible golden body no longer has any weaknesses.

However, the Three-Part Returning Origin Qi possesses long-range attack capabilities, capable of compressing true essence into a sphere and throwing it. Both its power and range surpass those of ordinary sword qi, so he was quite looking forward to it.

Subsequently, other peerless martial arts techniques also reached the point of perfection.

1.5 million experience points were used up, but less than 3 million were consumed.

"I have mastered all the peerless martial arts techniques in the Awakener Association to perfection. Now I can go all out and exchange them for supreme martial arts techniques."

Chen Fan's lips curled slightly.

The power of supreme martial arts is incomparable to that of peerless martial arts.

If we disregard the Longevity Technique (Water), he now possesses two supreme martial arts: the Indestructible Golden Body and the Black Hand Demon Art.

The former allowed him to withstand the Liang Kingdom Sword Saint's barrage of ten thousand swords, while the latter gave him the strength to instantly kill ordinary beast king-level ferocious beasts, and even high-level beast kings, since the height of top-level beast kings is only about a hundred meters.

However, thinking that one can kill a top-tier beast king-level ferocious beast with a single slap is probably a bit simplistic.

And now, he is about to master the third supreme martial art, [Ten Thousand Swords Return to the Origin]!

After consuming another 15 million experience points, the Myriad Swords Return to One realm reached its perfect state.

As expected, the two most powerful features are the simultaneous release of ten thousand swords and the unification of ten thousand swords into one.

The "Ten Thousand Swords Unleashed" technique, as the name suggests, consumes true energy to condense ten thousand sword energies, launching a continuous offensive against the enemy and capable of attacking a large number of targets.

Each sword strike consumes only one thousand points of true energy.

What does this mean?

When Chen Fan stood atop Anshan City and used his sword energy to slaughter elite-level ferocious beasts, each sword energy consumed 10,000 points of true energy. With over 20 million sword energies, he could only condense a little over 2,000 sword energies.

After mastering the Ten Thousand Swords Return to One, each sword qi consumes only one thousand points of sword qi. More than twenty million true qi can be condensed into more than twenty thousand sword qi, which means that you can use the Ten Thousand Swords Unleashed twice in a row.

By tomorrow morning, his true energy value will most likely exceed 40 million points, which means he can use the Ten Thousand Swords Unleashed four times in a row!

Moreover, the power of this sword energy is more than three times that of ordinary sword energy.

The Perfection characteristic, Ten Thousand Swords Return to One, is also easy to understand. It consumes ten million points of true energy, and ten thousand sword energies merge into a single sword energy that is a hundred meters long, which then blasts towards the opponent.

In terms of size, it's about the same as the Giant's Hand.

According to Chen Fan's guess, the power is probably about the same.

However, the Ten Thousand Swords Return to the Origin is different from the Blood Hand Technique. The former is an independent sword technique that can be further improved, while the latter is a fusion technique that is constrained by the Undying Seal Technique and the Wisdom Scripture of Controlling All Techniques, and has no room for improvement.

If the "Ten Thousand Swords Return to One" characteristic is upgraded to level 2, then it can fuse 100,000 sword energies, increasing its power tenfold!

At that time, even an indestructible golden body couldn't withstand this sword strike. Killing a top-tier beast king-level ferocious beast would be a piece of cake, right?

Chen Fan glanced at the panel. If that day really came, his total true energy should be able to break through 100 million points, and he would definitely be able to use the upgraded version of Ten Thousand Swords Return to One.

After looking at it again, Chen Fan finally looked away.

He might not need the "Ten Thousand Swords Return to One" move for the time being, because it overlaps with the Giant Spirit Hand.

However, the ability to unleash a barrage of swords would significantly reduce the difficulty of defending the city.

Suddenly, he thought of the Liang family patriarch.

This man, known as the Sword Saint, has mastered the art of returning all swords to their origin and has reached a state of perfection. He is indeed a remarkable figure.

If I were to meet him someday and we were to fight, wouldn't that be a battle of ten thousand swords returning to their origin? Yes, a battle of ten thousand swords returning to their origin.

He couldn't help but laugh.

If that day ever comes, it would be really interesting, wouldn't it?

However, these are all things for the future, and whether they will happen or not remains to be seen.

The troubles brought by the Song family are undeniable.

"I'm afraid tomorrow will be another fierce battle."

After Chen Fan finished speaking, he closed his eyes and began to absorb the spiritual energy of heaven and earth.
