157: Ambition!
In the battle of City 006, Chen Fan, alone, slew three King-level Monsters!
This achievement, once spread, would be enough to shake the entire Great Xia and even the world.
In today’s world, shrouded by the monster crisis, such inspiring good news is needed to dispel the gloom.
Chen Fan didn't pay too much attention to this.
He just wanted to strike while the iron was hot.
Taking advantage of the opportunity to comprehend the Yin-Yang Domain, he intended to thoroughly clear out this huge tumor adjacent to Kyoto Base City.
The entire City 006 was filled with monster roars all night, without a moment's rest.
In the ceaseless transitions of the battlefield, Chen Fan slaughtered ninety-nine percent of the Lord-level Monsters in the city.
Countless monsters fled in terror, and for a time, all the monsters in City 006 were on edge.
He directly handed the remaining matters over to Qin Luo and the Jingji Garrison.
He believed that the Jingji Garrison would not easily let go of such a good opportunity.
With three King-level Monsters fallen and ninety percent of Lord-level Monsters slain, City 006 was now an empty city.
Subsequently, a large number of soldiers, weapons, equipment, and warriors were dispatched from the military base, heading straight for City 006.
This time, the Planetary-level martial artists leading the team, in addition to Huang Qianzhong and General Ling, also included Lin Xinghe and Jia Yi, who had broken through with the help of mu ya crystal.
In just two days, Great Xia gained three new Planetary-level martial artists.
The God of War Palace conference was bound to cause a major earthquake.
Thus, with four Planetary-level martial artists leading the way, they swept through City 006... The night ended, and dawn was approaching.
At the edge of City 006, Chen Fan, Isadora, Venina, and others exchanged their latest contact information before parting ways.
At their farewell, the two foreign beauties even shared an intimate hug with Chen Fan, making Wang Teng's eyes widen.
"Stop staring, Old Wang, you also need to work hard and become a God of War martial artist soon!"
Chen Fan gave Wang Teng a thumbs up, then offered him an encouraging smile.
"Hm!"
"I definitely will!"
Encouraged by Chen Fan, flames seemed to flicker in Wang Teng's eyes; he needed to step up his efforts.
After bidding farewell to everyone, Chen Fan did not return directly to Beihe District.
He first went back to the Jingji Garrison Headquarters and met Xue Zhan.
Chen Fan briefly recounted the events in City 006,
including the fact that he had killed three King-level Monsters.
What Xue Zhan wanted to do but couldn't, Chen Fan accomplished, and he did it perfectly.
Immediately after, under the astonished gaze of the First Martial Artist, Chen Fan made a request.
"Brother Xue, I want to spar with you!"
"Oh?" The muscular middle-aged man raised an eyebrow: "This is the first time I've heard such a request!"
"Then let's fight. It would be my honor to be defeated by a rising star like you!"
Xue Zhan looked at the flickering battle intent in Chen Fan's eyes and agreed without hesitation.
Although he knew he was no match for Chen Fan, he still wanted to add fuel to Chen Fan's momentum.
His purpose was none other than to ensure Chen Fan's momentum remained soaring, allowing him to advance even more smoothly on the path of martial arts!
In the first move, Chen Fan and Xue Zhan were evenly matched!
In the second move, Chen Fan unleashed his Yin-Yang Domain, and Xue Zhan immediately conceded!
"No, no, I'm getting old, I can't beat you anymore!"
Xue Zhan wiped away the sweat from his brow; he had already used seventy percent of his strength just to resist the domain Chen Fan released.
The remaining thirty percent was far from enough to contend with Chen Fan.
"Brother Xue, what do you think are the chances of me winning if I spar with Hong using this domain?"
Chen Fan's gaze was clear as he asked Xue Zhan his question.
Hearing Chen Fan's question, a solemn expression appeared on Xue Zhan's face.
He recalled the scene of fighting the Hell Spider Emperor with Hong and Thunder God in the No. 9 Relic.
At that time, Hong used his domain to pressure and confine the Emperor-level Monster.
At the same time, he amplified himself with the domain, and his strength surged.
It was precisely because of Hong's presence that they were able to contend with and severely wound the Emperor-level Demon Spider.
Chen Fan looked at Xue Zhan, who was frowning in thought, and with a slight flicker in his eyes, he seemed to have discerned a hint.
Five minutes later, after evaluating Chen Fan's recent battle and Hong's domain, Xue Zhan offered a conclusion.
"If you, at Planetary Level Stage Two, were to just spar with Hong, who is at Planetary Level Stage Four, your battle with Hong would still be a fifty-fifty split."
Xue Zhan looked at Chen Fan, shaking his head gently.
Chen Fan's eyes brightened, and his expression shifted slightly as he heard Xue Zhan continue:
"If both you and Hong went all out, in a fight to the death, Hong would definitely die by your hand."
Without any reservation, Xue Zhan stated his judgment.
At the same time, his expectations for Chen Fan grew even higher.
Having held a high position for many years, Xue Zhan had observed countless people, and he could easily sense a strong ambition from Chen Fan.
"You fellow, you wouldn't be eyeing Hong's position as First Chairman, would you?"
Xue Zhan spoke playfully, his tone relaxed.
"Yes, Brother Xue, I do want the position of First Chairman of the God of War Palace."
Chen Fan said honestly: "After all, I am a martial artist of the Jingji Garrison, and also a warrior protecting Great Xia."
"The position of First Chairman of the God of War Palace can help us accomplish many things.
At least humanity won't be so passive when facing monsters."
Meeting Chen Fan's determined gaze, Xue Zhan seemed to see an unparalleled martial artist with the strength to move mountains and an awe-inspiring spirit.
Then, Xue Zhan took a deep breath and declared loudly:
"Excellent, truly worthy of being a warrior of our Great Xia! I support you in this goal!"
"If you can defeat Hong in a spar and become the First Chairman, the military forces and martial artists of my Jingji Garrison and the other seven base cities will be at your disposal!"
"Even if you don't succeed, it will still be the same!"
Xue Zhan's promise was weighty, his words clear and firm.
Silently, the fate of the entire Great Xia was now tied to Chen Fan by Xue Zhan.
From then on, they would either prosper together or suffer together!
Staring into the old general's eyes, Chen Fan nodded heavily, replying with an unprecedentedly firm tone:
"Chen Fan will definitely not disappoint Brother Xue and the entire Great Xia."
Thinking of the six base cities that would exist in later generations, Chen Fan felt an invisible pressure.
But he was fearless; all the pressure placed upon him was transformed into motivation.
"Great Xia, I will protect it well."
"I never misjudge people. Huang Qianzhong and General Ling are like that, and so are you, Chen Fan."
Upon hearing this, Xue Zhan looked deeply at Chen Fan, very satisfied.
Suddenly, as if remembering something, he quickly said:
"After the God of War Palace conference two days from now, you, along with the newly promoted Planetary-level martial artists Lin Xinghe and Jia Yi, need to go to the Dragon Mausoleum Ruins. There are things there that will be useful to you."
Then, Xue Zhan briefly told Chen Fan about the Dragon Mausoleum Ruins.
The puzzled expression on Chen Fan's face quickly turned to joy: "A Relic of Ancient Civilization Number Zero? I will definitely go!"
After discussing everything, Chen Fan directly bid farewell to Xue Zhan, still in a hurried manner.
Watching Chen Fan soar through the night sky, Xue Zhan smiled with relief and said:
"Extremely talented and ambitious, his future is boundless!"
"Chen Fan is destined to become the world's top expert. Truly a blessing for our Great Xia!"
"Hahaha..."
Xue Zhan gazed at Chen Fan, who had already merged into the night, laughing heartily...
