LGHTNOVELBOOK Chapter 573
Chapter 573: Chapter 573: Only In Novels Dare To Write Like This_1 Chapter 573: Chapter 573: Only In Novels Dare To Write Like This_1 For a time, there was a plethora of guesses about the identity of this newly-risen “Divine Ninja,” with every possible version being speculated upon.
Not to mention the various conjectures among the cultivators in the Island Country caused by that soaring streak of colored light.
After Xu Fan advanced to the Foundation Establishment Stage, the energy within his body boiled and surged for a full half-minute before it gradually subsided.
At this moment, his aura, restrained and condensed, was profound yet edgeless, like a peerless treasured sword that conceals its edge, nurturing Sword Qi within the sheath, ready to break through mountains and rivers with its brilliance and shatter the opponent’s courage once unsheathed.
“Big brother, Mr.
Xu…
this Mr.
Xu, who exactly is he?
So young and already ascending to the Heavenly Venerable Realm, perhaps even the term ‘unprecedented genius’ is an understatement.”
After arriving in Wang Jinghu’s room, Zhu Mofeng spoke up, his face full of disbelief.
Chen Quanying was also present.
Upon hearing Zhu Mofeng’s words, his expression changed instantly, but he had good emotional control and quickly regained composure, his brow furrowed in thought.
Wang Xiaolong opened his mouth, but no words came out, clearly in utter shock and at a loss for what to say.
Wang Jinghu himself felt a great shock.

Li Fuqiang had told him that Xu Fan was an old friend, but he hadn’t mentioned what level of ancient martial strength Xu Fan possessed.
Now hearing about it for the first time truly surprised him.
When Wang Jinghu first met Xu Fan, he was surprised by Xu Fan’s demeanor, finding him to be composed and neither humble nor haughty, displaying the air of a great family.
Although he had little contact with Xu Fan, his discerning eyes, based on his extensive experience, were quite reliable in judging people.
Even though Wang Jinghu had already passed the age of sixty, his own presence had not been diminished by time but had become even more profound.
Especially given the foreign martial world environment in which he operated, over time, Wang Jinghu had developed a ruthless manner.
Ordinary people would be intimidated upon meeting him, their behavior compromised, unlike Xu Fan’s calm and natural demeanor.
Therefore, in his eyes, Xu Fan was exceptionally outstanding among the younger generation he had met.
As the leading figure of the Hongmen Island Country branch, able to maintain a foothold amidst the plethora of gangs and gradually establish a reputation, Wang Jinghu’s strategies, vision, and courage were extraordinary beyond compare.
But this time, he had misjudged Xu Fan.
Xu Fan’s performance was now beyond his judgment.
The other man was a Heavenly Venerable powerhouse, and no amount of praise could suffice to describe him.
“It looks like I need to have a word with Old Li about this.”
Wang Jinghu picked up the telephone handset and dialed Li Fuqiang’s personal number.
As soon as the call connected, he heard Li Fuqiang’s hearty voice: “Hello, Old Wang.”
“It’s me.
Old Li, I’m calling to ask about this young friend Xu Fan, what’s his background?”
The two shared a deep friendship and spoke frankly, getting straight to the point.
“Old Wang, why are you asking like this?” Li Fuqiang couldn’t help but be surprised.
For someone of Wang Jinghu’s status to make a call personally to inquire about Xu Fan’s identity, Xu Fan must have done something to shock Wang Jinghu.

“Haha…
He broke through two minutes ago.”
“Ah, I thought it was something else.
Just a breakthrough, no need to be surprised,” Li Fuqiang said laughingly without a second thought: “Aside from being the descendant of an old friend, Xu Fan himself has extremely good talent and comprehension and has attained great achievement as an Ancient Martial Artist.
When I met him before, he was already a Martial Arts Grandmaster.
I didn’t expect that in just half a month, he has broken through to be a Martial King, tsk tsk tsk…
remarkable.
Old Wang, you probably don’t know, but just a few days ago, with only the strength of a Grandmaster, he killed Patriarch Qin of the Qin Family from Zhonghai, Qin Wudao.
This Qin Wudao lived for over a hundred years, and in pursuit of more time to study the ancient martial arts, he turned himself into a Hairy Zombie, his strength comparable to the Heavenly Venerable Realm.
Now, my nephew Xu Fan’s combat power is probably even more unfathomable.”
“It seems I’m the ignorant one,” Wang Jinghu’s statement was originally meant to be modest, but his tone was rather strange, causing Li Fuqiang to be startled again.
Then, he heard Wang Jinghu say, “However, what he has broken through to is not the Martial King realm.”
“Oh?”
“Sigh…” Wang Jinghu took a deep breath before continuing, “He has broken through to the Heavenly Venerable Realm.”
“Pfft…
cough!
Cough!
Cough!”
Li Fuqiang swallowed a mouthful of saliva and choked on it, coughing violently and said in astonishment, “Old Wang, if you can’t make a joke, then don’t.
I almost took you seriously.
But do you think I’m a fool?
The Heavenly Venerable Realm isn’t something you can break through just by talking about it.”
“Haha…
Old Li, it seems you didn’t even know when he broke through to the Martial King realm?”
Wang Jinghu felt incredibly refreshed.
So, this guy didn’t know anything about Xu Fan’s level of cultivation.
Alright, then let’s be shocked together.
“What do I get out of lying to you?
He really has ascended to the Heavenly Venerable.
The extraordinary phenomena in the heavens and earth haven’t even dissipated yet.
I’ll send you a picture later; I estimate the whole suburbs of Dongjing City have seen it,” said Wang Jinghu with a calm tone.
After that, Li Fuqiang didn’t respond, as if he had fallen into silence.
This news was like a bombshell, exploding in his heart.
In his eyes, Xu Fan’s performance was already a heaven-sent genius, an unprecedented talent.
His killing of Qin Wudao had set off a thousand waves in the Ancient Martial World.
And yet, in just a few days, Xu Fan had become a Heavenly Venerable big shot.
This seemed like something only a fantasy novel would dare to write.
How could something so exaggerated and unbelievable happen in real life?
Even Li Fuqiang, the Chief Steward of the Flame Dragon Organization, felt his heart stop, finding it impossible to accept.
“Sigh, it’s still the same old saying, Xu’s big brother has indeed given birth to an immortal son…” After a long silence, Li Fuqiang finally let out a deep sigh.
“That’s true,” Wang Jinghu agreed wholeheartedly.
After hanging up the phone, Li Fuqiang was neither able to sit nor stand, feeling as if his head had been blown wide open.
With Xu Fan reaching the Heavenly Venerable Realm, the entire layout of the vast Ancient Martial World would likely have to change.
The combat power of the Flame Dragon Organization had grown even stronger, like adding wings to a tiger.
He even wanted to call the Xu Family and the Qin Family to warn them, to make them aware so they wouldn’t provoke Xu Fan again, or else the consequences would be very grave.
But soon, he changed his mind.
The four great families of Yanjing were originally the nation’s support, like the nation’s mighty tools, but the situation had already changed over the years.
The older generation of the four great families had made huge contributions to national construction, and their merits were undeniable.
But their younger generation, raised in luxury and comfort, had not become pillars of the nation to build and establish great achievements.
Instead, they had become more rampant in their dependency, like parasites, enjoying the best resources but serving no purpose.
If this continued, they might turn into a cancer in society.
Not to mention, Qin Qinglong’s younger cousin Qin Heihu, along with three of his despicable friends, had kidnapped and violated a freshman girl, causing her to be mentally traumatized and fall into psychosis.
Just a few days later, she leaped from a tall building to her death.
After the incident was investigated, Qin Heihu was let off lightly, with a minor punishment.
The public reaction to this event was extremely fierce.
If this situation persists, it may very well provoke public outrage.
