66: President Wu is proud
On the city wall.
The various heads of the Martial Arts Association, seeing Ding Xing's red dot on the locator approach Jiang Fan and Qi Qi, then turn back, couldn't help but feel curious.
"Huh? Why did Ding Xing go back again?"
"He probably confirmed Jiang Fan and Qi Qi were safe, then went back to hunt Exotic Beasts!"
"Phew! Thankfully! I really don't want to see any casualties among the children in this selection competition!"
"..."
Minister Wan looked at the screen and nodded slightly.
"Safe is good!"
President Wu and President Li, however, frowned, somewhat unable to understand Ding Xing's intentions.
Logically, Ding Xing's strange behavior must have meant he did something.
But this positioning surveillance was too crude; it could only show the location of personnel, making it difficult to judge anything else.
"Look! Is that Jiang Fan?"
Suddenly, a voice rang out, and everyone looked over.
They saw a huge figure chasing and attacking Jiang Fan at the edge of the area covered by the searchlights.
"It's the Raging Giant Ape! A Third-level Exotic Beast!"
Whoa!
As soon as these words were spoken, the scene immediately descended into chaos!
"A Third-level Exotic Beast! Our children will have a hard time resisting it! How could a Third-level Exotic Beast appear outside the military's defense line?"
"Now is not the time to say these things; the situation is very dangerous, we must quickly go and kill the Third-level Exotic Beast!"
"Yes, other matters can wait!"
"..."
If before, everyone's concern about Jiang Fan and Qi Qi venturing deep beyond the military's defense line was merely superficial, then now all the heads of the Martial Arts Association truly felt nervous.
It wasn't for any other reason, but because, besides Jiang Fan and Qi Qi, there were also members from their respective Martial Arts Associations on the field.
These were all Geniuses selected from various regions, and they couldn't afford any mishaps!
Geniuses are called Geniuses primarily because of their infinite potential!
But in terms of cultivation, they are all still young and haven't reached a very high level!
Facing a Third-level Exotic Beast, based on the current data of all participants in this selection competition, no one can withstand it!
On the battlefield, being unable to resist means... death!
President Wu was extremely anxious at this moment!
He was about to leap down from the city wall!
"I'll go and kill the Raging Giant Ape!"
However, just as he was about to make a move, Minister Wan held him back!
"Wait a moment!"
President Wu's face was flushed with urgency!
"Minister Wan, we can't wait any longer!"
"If we're a little later, Jiang Fan will lose his life!"
"Not only will Jiang Fan lose his life, but even the Geniuses from other Martial Arts Associations will be in danger!"
Jiang Fan was a Genius that the Jiangcheng Martial Arts Association had painstakingly discovered, and he was currently facing the direct impact of the Third-level Exotic Beast, Raging Giant Ape, so President Wu was naturally the most anxious person!
Others still had a bit of room for maneuver, but Jiang Fan had no retreat!
Minister Wan shook his head, his eyes fixed on the field, and said, "I see..."
"This Jiang Fan, facing this Third-level Exotic Beast, doesn't seem to be at a disadvantage!"
Gasp?
Hearing this, President Wu hurriedly followed Minister Wan's gaze.
He just happened to see the scene where Jiang Fan broke through the Raging Giant Ape's arm defense!
"This..."
He was instantly stunned!
Not only him, but all the heads of the Martial Arts Association were dumbfounded at this moment!
"Jiang Fan... broke through the Raging Giant Ape's defense?"
The Raging Giant Ape, a Third-level Exotic Beast!
Among all Exotic Beasts, it was a giant defensive meat shield; not only was its body massive, but its skin was rough and thick, and its fur was like armor!
Even High-Stage Third Rank Martial Artists, or Fourth-level Martial Artists, would find it quite troublesome when facing the Raging Giant Ape!
Because under normal circumstances, it was possible to injure it, but causing fatal damage or killing it was very difficult!
But now Jiang Fan was actually able to break through the Raging Giant Ape's defense!
This utterly shocked everyone!
According to the data, Jiang Fan was only a Second-level Martial Artist!
Although he was only 17 years old, and had already touched the threshold of the mid-stage Level Two Martial Artist, which was quite Genius!
But in terms of cultivation alone, there was still a significant gap between him and a Third-level Martial Artist.
Yet, this young man, not even at the mid-stage Level Two Martial Artist, was effortlessly handling the enraged attacks of the Third-level Exotic Beast, Raging Giant Ape, which made people feel somewhat fantastical!
On the battlefield, scene after scene of Jiang Fan fighting the Raging Giant Ape entered everyone's eyes!
From shock, disbelief, to held breath, blank stares, and then numbness, it only took over ten minutes.
The moment Jiang Fan forcefully plunged his miao dao (a type of saber) into the Raging Giant Ape's head, and the Raging Giant Ape crashed to the ground, everyone seemed as if their Soul Emergence, their faces full of bewilderment!
After a long while, Minister Wan murmured,
"17 years old! Independently killed a Third-level Exotic Beast, the Raging Giant Ape!"
"Could he really just be a Second-level Martial Artist?"
After speaking, his eyes burned as he looked at President Wu.
"President Wu, your Jiangcheng Martial Arts Association has cultivated a true Genius!"
"No matter what Jiang Fan's ranking is this time, I will personally ensure Jiang Fan receives an additional reward!"
"Furthermore, I will truthfully report the situation here!"
Immediately, envious voices came from around.
"Congratulations, President Wu! Your Jiangcheng has truly turned things around this time!"
"That's right, 17 years old! Infinite potential, I'm even a little jealous!"
"..."
Amidst the flattery, a voice quietly emerged from Chen Sheng's mouth.
"President Wu, that's not very honest of you!"
"Jiang Fan is clearly a Third-level Martial Artist, yet you're falsely reporting his information like this, which is a bit insidious!"
Chen Sheng forcibly suppressed his jealousy and said in a Yin and Yang manner.
President Wu blinked, looked at his arch-rival Chen Sheng, and said with a smile,
"President Chen, I've been wronged!"
"When I reported the data, Jiang Fan was clearly a Second-level Martial Artist!"
"As for how he suddenly became capable of killing a Third-level Exotic Beast, I don't know either!"
President Wu spread his hands.
Although he spoke very politely, everyone could see that the corners of his mouth, which were turned up, simply couldn't be suppressed!
He was also very puzzled as to why Jiang Fan's strength had suddenly increased so much!
But at this moment, he didn't want to think about it too much!
The surrounding compliments made him intoxicated!
This was a treatment that the Jiangcheng Martial Arts Association hadn't enjoyed for many years!
And what made him even more comfortable than the compliments was Chen Sheng's expression, as if he had eaten something foul!
This was the feeling of being vindicated!
...After Jiang Fan killed the Raging Giant Ape, he forcefully stabilized his body, which was about to burst from the energy, and hurried to Qi Qi's side.
"Sister Qi Qi, are you okay?"
Qi Qi, propping herself on the ground, stared blankly at Jiang Fan.
"Jiang Fan, you... you..."
She spoke for a long time but couldn't utter a word!
