159: Speaker Chen Fan!

At 1:40 PM, in the virtual space.

Chen Fan sat on a soft sofa, holding a cup of fresh milk coffee with less sugar, and watched a news report on the large screen on the wall of the lounge.

On the screen, battle scenes from City 006 were being broadcast.

Flames engulfed the city, and amidst the rising smoke, martial artist teams, coordinated with heavy firepower, conducted point-to-point clear-up operations against the fleeing low-level monsters.

At the same time, fighter jets and bombers circled at low altitude in the sky, searching like eagles for the monsters' hiding places.

Finally delivering a fatal blow!!!

As for Advanced Monsters, such as Beast Generals and above, specialized martial artists were assigned to deal with them.

The division of labor was clear, and the cooperation was seamless.

All the details of this battle demonstrated the terrifying combat power of Daxia's strongest army.

“This time, the elites from the Jingji Garrison Headquarters were all dispatched, and with the army pressing in, more than half of City 006 has now been secured.”

“According to my estimation, it’s only a matter of time before the entire city is recaptured. I will continue to follow up with news reports, so please stay tuned…”

The sweet voice of the beautiful hostess came, and Chen Fan slightly closed his eyes, feeling refreshed.

Not only because of the beauty's sweet, soft voice, but also because the Jingji Garrison successfully recaptured City 006.

Today, the first step in reclaiming lost territory was finally taken.

Then, the rest would naturally follow quickly.

Similarly, Chen Fan was also very clear that the great war against monsters required manpower and material resources.

Especially the emergence of high-end combat power could decisively tip the scales of a battle in their favor.

“Australia and Mist Island, wait for me!”

Chen Fan whispered softly, a glint flashing in his eyes.

Not only Mist Island, but also the No. 0 Relic — the 'Dragon Mausoleum Ruins' — which Xue Zhan highly praised.

Even other ancient civilization relics around the world had become the focus of Chen Fan's exploration and search.

No other reason,

Every ancient civilization relic might contain technology or resources useful to humanity.

Even if only a few, they held extraordinary significance for humanity as it was.

“Furthermore, I must hurry and challenge the Blade Hell Corridor. The more I pass, the better the rewards!”

Chen Fan clenched his fists. Unbeknownst to him, he had already come to regard the trial corridor left by Blood Blade Venerable as a treasure trove.

Not only for Chen Fan's own strength improvement, but even the strength of the entire Daxia was closely related to it.

“Come on, improving strength is the key to overcoming challenges!”

Then, Chen Fan silently cheered himself on.

Gulp!

Closing the screen, Chen Fan drank the coffee in his hand in one gulp, got up, and walked to the window.

Looking out through the large floor-to-ceiling windows, the entire world was enveloped by a sea of clouds.

This sea of clouds was sometimes still, sometimes surging, combining movement and stillness, much like his Yin-Yang Domain.

As the clouds rolled and unfurled, Chen Fan's mood grew brighter.

“Let's go, it's time to meet the other Gods of War and Council members.”

Chen Fan turned and walked out of his villa, following the private passage to the God of War Palace.

The building, like an ancient imperial palace, impressed Chen Fan every time he saw it.

At this moment, a good number of God of War martial artists had already gathered in front of the God of War Palace.

They were mostly God of War powerhouses from America, Europa, Lion Country, and Siberia.

Among the Council members, besides Lion Country, the three major powers each had one, and the HR Alliance also had one Planetary Level Kassel.

The remaining Council members were from the The Two Great Martial Arts Schools, Extreme and Thunder, as well as Daxia's Planetary Level martial artists.

These martial artist groups were chatting happily in twos and threes.

But as soon as Chen Fan arrived, the martial artists who were chatting immediately stopped. They looked at Chen Fan.

“God of War Chen Fan, hello!”

“Mr. Chen, welcome to the God of War Palace!”

“Chen Sir, my old friend, it's been a long time since we last met.”

“...”

After a long separation, Chen Fan was enthusiastically surrounded by these Gods of War.

They all had a life-and-death friendship from No. 9 Relic, and the lives of most of these Gods of War were saved by Chen Fan from Lord-level Monsters.

They were naturally grateful to Chen Fan, their savior.

Gradually, more and more God of War martial artists gathered around Chen Fan.

Most of them were familiar with Chen Fan; the other Gods of War were friends of these Gods of War.

“Everyone, long time no see!”

Facing their enthusiasm, Chen Fan also responded with a smile.

They were all martial artists who had shed sweat and blood for this living planet.

In front of the God of War Palace, the atmosphere was full of warmth.

All the Advanced Gods of War gathered around Chen Fan, chatting casually.

The Intermediate Gods of War and Elementary Gods of War stood on the outer circle, looking at Chen Fan with awe.

No other reason,

In the battle of No. 9 Relic, Chen Fan alone killed more than a dozen Lord-Level Monsters, his terrifying strength was undeniable.

In the later Shanghai Battle, Chen Fan and Lin Xinghe joined forces to resist the King-level Monster, the Squid King.

This battle truly shocked God of War martial artists worldwide.

Because what they witnessed was two God of War martial artists jointly fighting a King-level Monster,

And this battle truly transcended life levels, fighting against a higher tier.

Although Chen Fan and the other fought with all their might, in the face of the terrifying King-level Monster, they could only barely maintain a draw.

Such a dangerous situation was unprecedented.

But as God of War martial artists, their discernment was excellent, allowing them to see many things.

Whether it was Lin Xinghe's Fengyun Spear Technique or Chen Fan's terrifying Spiritual power, both were fully displayed in this battle.

Therefore, this battle at Huangpu River Base, where Chen Fan and the other resisted the King-level Monster together, was used as a textbook for God of War martial artists worldwide to study and gain experience.

For a time, Chen Fan's reputation soared.

But Chen Fan remained unfazed, currently exchanging experiences with Sokolov and Mo Handerson, two Invincible Gods of War.

As time passed, over thirty Daxia Gods of War, led by Xue Zhan and five Planetary Level Council members, also entered the God of War Palace.

The meeting officially began.

In the God of War Palace's meeting hall, hundreds of God of War martial artists were seated, filling the room.

“Today, we gather here for three matters.”

Hong's clear voice echoed in the spacious meeting hall.

All the martial artists collectively looked up, their gazes fixed on the world's number one martial artist.

In the front row, Chen Fan, Lin Xinghe, and Jia Yi sat in the same row as many veteran Council members.

At this moment, any discerning person could tell.

These were three Planetary Level martial artists!

On the rostrum, three Chairman-level powerhouses sat at the center — they were Hong, Thunder God, and Xue Zhan.

When their gazes fell upon the two empty chairs, their expressions all darkened.

These two chairs originally belonged to Slav and Ye Fan, the Fourth and Fifth Chairmen, but they had both fallen in battle.

As for who would fill the empty chairs, the God of War martial artists dared not make a rash judgment.

“The first matter today is to commemorate our two Chairmen and all the Gods of War who died in battle in No. 9 Relic.”

“Everyone, please stand for three minutes of silence.”

Whoosh! Whoosh! Whoosh!!!

All Gods of War and Council members stood up simultaneously.

On the rostrum, the three, Hong, also stood up for the moment of silence.

The entire hall was silent, one could hear a pin drop.

After three minutes, the moment of silence ended.

“The second matter is to introduce the four newly promoted Planetary Level martial artists: Kassel, Lin Xinghe, Jia Yi, and Chen Fan!!!”

Thunder God's voice boomed like thunder, and the entire meeting hall shook.

As his voice fell, applause erupted like thunder.

Clap! Clap! Clap!!!

Amidst the surging applause, Chen Fan and the three other newly promoted Planetary Level martial artists stood up one by one and bowed in greeting.

Then, the applause grew even more tumultuous, like a rushing river, continuous and unending.

After a long while.

Hong pressed his hands down, signaling for everyone to be quiet.

“The final matter is to announce the new Fourth Chairman!”

When the words 'Fourth Chairman' were spoken, the entire hall fell silent.

Everyone was focused, awaiting Hong's decision.

Then, Hong, Thunder God, and Xue Zhan all looked at Chen Fan, the meaning in their eyes self-evident.

Finally, Thunder God announced the decision.

On the rostrum, Thunder God looked at Chen Fan with a relieved expression, then solemnly declared:

“After discussion and decision by our three Chairmen, the new Fourth Chairman will be Chen Fan.”

“Chen Fan is the new Fourth Chairman!!”

“...”
