Chapter 367 - The Most Powerful Man In East Asia (2/2)
Ginza district was one of the most famous nexus for shopping in the world. It was located at the center of downtown Tokyo and was well known for the numerous luxury outlets. Its street was flanked by all kinds of shopping malls with squeaky clean windows and artsy decorations. It was also a hub for food all around the world. A visitor might find an Italian restaurant right next to an Arabic one that was across the street from a French Cafe.
Red Sparrow sat across the table from Chen Fan and was scrolling through some doc.u.ments on her computer. She asked: “Chen Beixuan, do you know what they call you now? The most powerful man in East Asia.”
Red Sparrow fixed her gaze on Chen Fan, her eyes were filled with admiration and disbelief.
She knew the beleaguered path of Martial arts at first hand. Ye Nantian, Azure dragon, and Takemiya Hiro, each one of them were powerful warriors in their own right, but none of them were able to reach Immortal State.
What had made Chen Fan so special?
The first person to claim supremacy in East Asia was not Ye Nantian, neither was it Azure dragon or Takemiya Hiro, much less Erika or Lei Qianjue. It was Chen Beixuan, a teenager not even twenty years old.
She wagered that she had to look hard and deep to find anyone in the entire planet who could deal with Chen Fan.
Red Sparrow had wracked her brain to find a reason for the young man’s extraordinary power but failed. She wondered if Chen Fan was the legendary one in a hundred-year genius who was born with the ability to master any martial arts that he came across.
“Oh? really?” Chen Fan replied quietly. He didn’t seem to mind whatever people were calling him.
These t.i.tles, let it be number one in China or Number one in East Asia, meant little to nothing to Chen Fan. He used to be the North Mystic Celestial Lord who presided over the top of the universe. He had crushed countless celestial beings and brought a slew of immortals to their knees.
What did the t.i.tle of “Number One in East Asia” mean to someone as mighty as him?
“Chen Beixuan, have you really reached Immortal State? I’m just curious. And what about Takemiya Hiro? Did he make it to the Immortal State during the battle?” Red Sparrow couldn’t hold back her curiosity, so she asked Chen Fan.
Violet had been cutting up the steak for Chen Fan, but she also paused and looked at Chen Fan curiously.
This was the most contentious question in the world. People had waged a war of words over each other for this one.
Although no one had seen the battle up close, the ruined Tokyo Tower was a telltale sign of what had happened. Plus, they had seen the Blade Qi that surged a few hundred meters above the tower, the otherworldly phenomenon of Sun and Moon hanging in the grey sky, and the utterly catastrophic damage the two warriors had done to the steel giant, the Tokyo Tower.
All signs pointed to one conclusion: the destructive energy unleashed by the two combatants were way beyond that of Transcendent State.
However, some people were still not convinced. After all, the last Immortal State warrior had only disappeared a few decades ago and many nations and organizations kept detailed descriptions of an Immortal State cultivator’s power. Chen Fan’s ability to levitate himself could count as one, but that was far from enough to be convincing.
“An Immortal State cultivator could control the power of heaven and earth, merge the Dharma Spell and Martial Arts cultivation. He was able to read minds, levitate, controlling natural elements, and many other clairvoyant abilities. In other words, they were no longer mortals, but demi-G.o.ds. That was why it was called Immortal State.” Red Sparrow murmured to herself.
“You have shown some of those abilities but not all of them. However, if you have not yet reached Immortal State, how could you kill Takemiya Hiro and destroy Tokyo Tower?”
Red Sparrow continued. It appeared that the enigma was starting to get on her nerves.
Ever since her power has awakened, she always bragged about herself being the youngest member of the department and a genius. However, She felt so insignificant after she met Chen Fan. He had made her abilities look like a joke.
Me? Of course, I am not at Immortal State.” Chen Fan shrugged. “But Takemiya Hiro was, for a while at least. He had reached Immortal State during the battle, but his injury had prevented him from taking full control of his new power.”
Despite the airy way Chen Fan had offered the answer, Red Sparrow and Violet couldn’t help but feel terrified.
If Takemiya Hiro had reached Immortal State—however unstable his power was—how powerful exactly was Chen Fan to be able to bring him down? What would happen if Chen Fan had to face a seasoned Immortal State cultivator?
Even as they pondered on the questions, a group of men in black suits filed into the coffee shop, scaring other guests away. They came closer to Chen Fan in two neat rows.
A well dressed, stately looking middle age man walked over to Chen Fan with a mechanical smile.
“Nice to see you again, Mr. Chen Beixuan. ”
“You are Mitsui Yuto?” Chen Fan nodded as he recognized the leader of the Mitsui Group. “Are you here to fulfill the payment? ”
“Yes, of course. j.a.panese people are honorable people. We have already wired ten billion US dollars to this account.” So saying, Mitsui Yuto handed over Chen Fan a debit card. The middle-aged man then paused a second and said: “Mr. Chen, I also have a message for you from a… certain individual.”
“j.a.pan does not welcome you, please leave, or else…”
Chen Fan narrowed his glinting eyes and hissed: “Or else what?”
