Chapter 404 - What Does It Take To Be A Legend? (2/2)
His power and influence simply seemed laughable to that of Chen Fan. The comparison put a wry smile on Chen Zhenxin’s face.
“The Han Family is very smart. Xiao Fan had dealt a huge blow to j.a.pan by defeating their Fourteenth Brigade, so they wagered that the Chinese government would spare no expense to secure their ties with Chen Fan. Therefore, to be the enemy of Chen Fan is to be the enemy of the Chinese government.” Chen Huaian said knowingly.
Everyone, including w.a.n.g Xiaoyun, nodded in agreement.
The Chinese government would do whatever was necessary to win over Chen Fan. It would be a crime if they let Chen Fan slip through their fingers to work for other forces such as Russia or England. Chen Fan was as powerful as an entire division of motorized infantry with unbridled mobility. He could strike fear into the hearts of even the most fearsome enemies.
“Atta boy! As long as we have Xiao Fan in our family, we can easily claim the seat of power at Jiang Nan Province.” Chen Huaian said as he beamed from side to side.
The old man was suddenly relieved and the mood in the room also lightened up a bit.
Chen Zhenxin and Chen Ning both stared at Chen Fan in silence.
They knew that Chen Fan’s branch was going to replace them as the dominating force in the family. Chen Fan alone was more powerful than the entire family. The Chen family relied on him and needed him.
Meanwhile, w.a.n.g Xiaoyun and An Ya looked to Chen Fan in pleasant surprise. w.a.n.g Xiaoyun wished she could hug Chen Fan tightly, kiss his cheek and then announce to the world: “This is my son. My son is a legend, and is as powerful as the nation’s leaders!”
An Ya tugged a loose strand of hair behind her ear as she looked at Chen Fan with a soft gaze. She batted her lashes and curled her lips into a mesmerizing smile.
Even Chen Gexin who rarely let his emotions show up on face nodded approvingly.
Chen Zhenxin and Chen Ning left the room quietly. Chen Fan had told them a lot, but he was still silent about the source of his power. Where did he get his power? Could he teach others to be as strong as him?
However, Chen Zhenxin knew that that information was meant only for the ears of Chen Fan’s close families. He wagered that Chen Fan would not willingly tell him those secrets so he might as well leave the room before he embarra.s.sed himself.
Once Chen Zhenxin and Chen Ning left the room, Chen Fan was finally alone with his parents, grandpa and Sister An Ya.
Chen Fan said with as much seriousness as he could muster: “Grandpa, Mom and Dad and Sister An, what I am going to tell you next are top secrets, and you should never ever tell anyone. Otherwise, there will be grave consequences.”
Chen Huaian and Chen Gexin both nodded with solemn faces.
They knew that Chen Fan was finally going to get down to the real business.
Chen Fan had been telling them a lot about his abilities, but he didn’t mention a word about the source of his power. The key questions remained whether Chen Fan could teach the others his incredible powers just as the masters in the Wu Xia drama would.
w.a.n.g Xiaoyun was gripped by a wave of intense antic.i.p.ation. If she could be as powerful as her son, she wouldn’t have to toil in the business world. Her Jin Xiu Group was worth ten billion yuan, but what did ten billion yuan mean to Chen Fan who was as powerful as a nation?
“Not only is it complicated to explain the source of my power, but it is also related to another secret that I don’t think you are ready to hear yet. But what I can say is this: if you start to cultivate with me, you can be as powerful as me, if not more so.”
Chen Fan said with a smile on his face.
“Really?”
w.a.n.g Xiaoyun exclaimed first.
“Of course.” Chen Fan nodded.
Everyone’s faces were lit up with glee. An Ya’s eyes were filled with joy and antic.i.p.ation. Who didn’t want to be a G.o.dly existence who could do whatever they wanted? The toiling and struggling in life were all part of the pursuit of power, wasn’t it?
Chen Huaian furrowed his brows and said: “Hold on a second. If even an old man like me could be as powerful as Xiao Fan then there should be many mighty figures just like Xiao Fan. But in reality, it’s rare to meet Internal Force users, much less Grandmasters. How could you explain that?”
The smile on w.a.n.g Xiaoyun and Chen Gexin’s face dimmed a little after they heard the old man’s question.
“Yea.”
Just so, they were close to forty and Chen Huaian was in his eighties. They were way past their best years for learning. Even in Wu Xia drama, didn’t all the protagonist start training when they were children? If they could master Martial Artists, there must be many Martial Artist Masters out there. If that’s the case, the world would be in chaos having so many powerful men and women with unbridled power.
With that thought in mind, they looked to Chen Fan for help.
“Grandpa was right. Of all the grandmasters in entire China, there are only less than twenty Grandmasters. There are a little bit more Internal Force users, but not a lot either. The world hasn’t seen an Immortal Level Overlord such as me for decades.”
Chen Fan nodded as he murmured to himself.
“That was because Martial Artist cultivation required very high raw talent. Only one in a million could have possessed such talent and on top of that, he would have to start stringent training when he was a child. That had severely limited the number of Grandmasters and Internal force users.”
“However, that was the method of training for ordinary martial arts, my method of cultivation is different.”
So saying, a light suddenly came up in his eyes.
