Chapter 192: Chapter 192 Can I go in now?

"Chen Fan is really bold to leave such a valuable item here."

Tang Chuchu walked to the table, picked up the jade bottle, opened the lid, and took a sniff, "Wow, such a rich medicinal fragrance! This must be the Gathering Yuan Pill!"

Worried that the aroma would spread to the courtyard, she quickly put the lid back on, then a cold smile appeared on her face, "Chen Fan, you caused my whole family to hate me, and even took away seventy percent of the Tang Family’s wealth. Now, I’ll sell this bottle of Gathering Yuan Pills to make up for my family’s losses!"

"When I give the money from the sale to Grandpa, he’s bound to start doting on me again."

...

Binhai Martial Arts Association.

In front of the grand courtyard with three entrances and exits.

Lu Qinghuan, dressed in a long teal dress, was waiting there.

Before long, a taxi stopped, and Chen Fan got out.

Lu Qinghuan immediately greeted him, "Mr. Chen."

Chen Fan nodded and glanced over at the large residence of the Binhai Martial Arts Association, with its gilded gate and rosewood pillars. Above the door hung a signboard with the character "Martial Arts" written with vigorous strokes, looking many times more imposing than that of the Jiangbei Martial Arts Association.

"Have they all arrived?" asked Chen Fan.

Lu Qinghuan nodded, "The Huo Family from Linzhou, the Zhou Family from Jinling, and the Sun family from Rongcheng as well as my grandfather have all arrived. The Han Family from Zhongzhou and the Zhuo Family from Yunzhou had other matters and sent their apologies. The Tang Family hasn’t come either; it’s said that the old master of the Tang Family is sick and doesn’t want to meet anyone at the moment."

After finishing, Lu Qinghuan curiously sized up Chen Fan and asked, "Mr. Chen, did you visit the Tang Family afterwards?"

She always felt that the Tang Family’s old master falling ill had a lot to do with Chen Fan.

Chen Fan smiled slightly, "The Tang Family gave me seventy percent of their assets, and the old master is not sick. He just doesn’t want to meet people, probably because he’s quite upset."

Lu Qinghuan’s eyes widened like copper bells, "Seventy percent of the Tang Family’s assets... wasn’t it half before?"

Chen Fan smiled faintly, "Tang Chuchu tried to wriggle out of the debt, so naturally, there was a price to pay."

Lu Qinghuan swallowed hard and her look towards Chen Fan grew even more respectful.

Although she didn’t know how Chen Fan had done it, she always had the feeling that no one could cheat Chen Fan out of money.

Now, she felt incredibly relieved that after upsetting Chen Fan in the past, she had taken the initiative to apologize and even improved her relationship with him.

Otherwise, the fate of the Lu Family might not have been much better than that of the Tang Family.

"It’s just a pity that such a dragon among men, who has already given his heart to another, will probably be the regret that haunts me for life," thought Lu Qinghuan, feeling a sense of loss.

Chen Fan said, "Let’s go in."

Lu Qinghuan nodded her head and led Chen Fan into the residence, through a veranda, and into a courtyard.

In the courtyard stood a massive cauldron weighing ten thousand jin with numerous hand seals imprinted on it, varying in depth.

Upon seeing these hand seals, Chen Fan intuitively knew that the individuals who left them were all high-level practitioners of the Transformation Realm without exception.

One hand seal was nearly ten centimeters deep, almost penetrating the cauldron.

"Could it be that the Martial Arts Circle also has a custom of leaving hand seals as memorials?" Chen Fan chuckled and followed Lu Qinghuan to the entrance of an arched gateway.

Two middle-aged men around fifty years old were guarding the gate, and Chen Fan could feel the aura emanating from them, judging that both had the strength of the first level of the Transformation Realm.

This made him sigh with emotion, Zheng Tianyuan, with only the strength of a Grandmaster, could be the President of the Martial Arts Association in Jiangbei, yet in Binhai, the first level of the Transformation Realm was only enough to guard the door.

The gap between the martial arts of Jiangbei and other regions was indeed very large.

Lu Qinghuan went inside, but when Chen Fan attempted to follow, he was stopped.

"Inside is an exchange meeting for martial arts experts from various regions, no outsiders are allowed to enter," one of the middle-aged men said.

Lu Qinghuan hurriedly said, "Mr. Chen is my friend, and he’s also here to participate in the Martial Arts Conference."

Both men sized up Chen Fan, and one of them said, "Miss Lu, I believe he is your friend, but to say he’s here for the Martial Arts Conference, that seems a bit far-fetched. Everyone sitting inside is a well-known figure in the Martial Arts Circle, whereas your friend is merely unremarkable. He doesn’t qualify to enter."

Chen Fan felt helpless and took out his Martial Arts Competition Command Token, "This is my competition token, I am representing Jiangbei to participate in the Martial Arts Conference."

The two middle-aged men were taken aback, exchanged glances, and couldn’t help but burst into laughter.

"If you’re from Jiangbei, then you’re all the more unqualified to attend today’s exchange meeting," one of the middle-aged men said.

Chen Fan frowned, "Why not?"

The man replied, "What’s happening inside right now is a meeting for the truly top-tier experts. They are exchanging experiences and trading treasures. I’m afraid you wouldn’t even manage to get a word in if you entered, so it’s best not to disturb them."

The other man chimed in, "We’re not deliberately giving you a hard time, it’s mainly because those inside are high-level practitioners of the Transformation Realm, and it would be of no use for you to go in."

Chen Fan was speechless, "Why would you think I am weaker than those inside?"

One man smirked, "You’re so young, and from Jiangbei besides. You most likely haven’t even touched the threshold of the Transformation Realm, yet you aspire to compare with the real experts?"

The other man glanced sideways and said, "Well, let’s not argue. Do you see that handprint on the cauldron over there? That vessel is made of special material, and only a high-level Transformation Realm expert can leave a mark on it. Go ahead and strike it with all your might. If you can leave a handprint on it, even just a faint trace, we’ll let you in, how about that?"

Chen Fan snorted coldly, "Then you’d better watch closely!"

He then walked towards the giant cauldron.

The two middle-aged men shook their heads incessantly.

"No idea where this young man’s confidence comes from, imagining he can sit at the same table with those long-established experts. It’s quite laughable indeed."

"What can we do, he’s from Jiangbei. Martial arts in Jiangbei are so backward, even a minor Grandmaster Realm expert can be called number one. This young man has probably been held in too high regard in Jiangbei and has no idea how far behind they are from the outside world’s martial arts."

Lu Qinghuan glared at the two men in anger, thinking, "Such a condescending view, wait until Mr. Chen shows his power, let’s see if you feel ashamed!"

Chen Fan approached the giant cauldron, gathered the Strength of the Dragon Elephant in his palm, and smacked down hard on the body of the cauldron.

Bang!

The deafening sound made the two middle-aged men and Lu Qinghuan involuntarily cover their ears.

All three looked towards the cauldron and were struck with astonishment.

The giant cauldron, weighing tens of thousands of pounds, had actually shifted several meters, and on its body, more than a dozen centimeters thick, a terrifying hole appeared, as if blown open by an explosive.

Chen Fan retracted his palm, exhaled a breath, turned back to the two middle-aged men, and asked, "Can I go in now?"
