"Chairman!"

"It's the Chairman!"

"Great, the Chairman is here. Now, that woman will definitely get what she deserves!"

Many people were excited.

But some felt a sense of déjà vu seeing the scene.

Yes, it was like when Gao Shan and his group came out before, causing a stir, though not as big as this.

And the result?

It was obvious.

"Could it be that even the Chairman is no match for that woman?"

Many people had this thought.

Under everyone's gaze, Sun Wei walked up to Wang Lingling.

"Are you the Chairman here?"

Wang Lingling looked at him and slightly curled her lips.

"That's right."

Sun Wei nodded, also sizing up the woman before him.

Just as Xu Jie had said, she looked about twenty-something, even a bit immature.

Could she really be a True Essence Realm Martial Artist?

He found it hard to believe.

But her strength was indeed extraordinary. Gao Shan had no power to fight back in front of her.

So, she must be in the Meridian Refining Realm, possibly even in the Late Stage of Meridian Refining.

He, as a Mid Stage of Meridian Refining Martial Artist, would definitely be at a disadvantage against a Late Stage one.

Especially since he hadn't been in the Meridian Refining Realm for long.

But, there was no choice. He had to go forward, maybe luck would be on his side and he could win.

"Oh, doesn't seem like you're that impressive." Wang Lingling nodded.

Hearing this, the people around couldn't help but speak up.

"How dare you speak to our Chairman like that?"

"You girl, you look nice, but why do you talk like that?"

"Yes, our Chairman is a Meridian Refining Martial Artist, the most powerful in our association."

"Alright." Sun Wei waved his hand. After the crowd quieted down, he said, "Saying I'm the most powerful in the association is overestimating me. But as the Chairman, I must step forward in a situation like this. Miss, what is your purpose in coming here today?"

"Just bored, came in to look around and give you some pointers."

Wang Lingling smiled, "Sparring with a True Essence Realm Martial Artist like me isn't an opportunity most people dream of having."

"..."

Upon hearing this, the crowd was speechless.

As if anyone cared.

Moreover, who knows if you're really a True Essence Realm?

Gao Shan, on the other hand, looked pleased.

No matter if she was a True Essence Realm or not, her strength was undoubtedly above his.

Being guided by her would be of immense benefit.

"I see." Sun Wei breathed a sigh of relief, it seemed the other had no ill intentions.

"Miss, shall we spar right here?"

"No rush." Wang Lingling looked around, "I remember you said earlier that you're not the strongest here, right?"

Sun Wei was stunned and nodded, "That's right."

However, some present were surprised to hear this.

Most of them had just joined recently and looked up to Sun Wei.

So there was someone stronger than Chairman Sun in the association?

Who could it be?

"Then call him out to spar with me." Wang Lingling said.

"Well..." Sun Wei looked troubled.

"What, unwilling?" Wang Lingling was unhappy, "Or do I need to defeat you to make him appear?"

"Well," Sun Wei helplessly said, " Miss, even if you defeat me, it's uncertain you'll see him."

"Why?"

"Because Brother Chen isn't in the association during the day." Sun Wei replied.

"His surname is Chen?"

There were whispers in the crowd.

"You new folks might not know, the person Chairman mentioned is Chen Fan." An elder explained.

"Chen Fan?"

"Yes, Chen as in 'east', Fan as in 'ordinary'. I heard he was in the Meridian Refining Realm before the Chairman was."

"What! He was already in the Meridian Refining Realm before the Chairman?"

"More than that, I heard from sources that Chairman Sun broke through to the Meridian Refining Realm thanks to him."

"Some even say he's now a True Essence Realm Martial Artist, and it shook the headquarters, prompting a visit from the President."

"What, the President was moved and came personally? Just to meet him?"

"Of course, we were all there at the time. We owe him. If it weren't for him, we'd never have met the President in our lifetime."

"Then why did we never see him?"

"Even we haven't seen him for a long time."

Listening to the discussions, Wang Lingling frowned.

This Chen Fan sounded not simple.

He even had some connection with the President of the Jiangnan Sub-district Martial Arts Association?

She had some respect for that President.

But soon, she focused back on Sun Wei, suspiciously, "You're not lying, are you?"

"How could I?" Sun Wei smiled wryly.

From his perspective, he wished Chen Fan stayed in the association all the time. It would be much more convenient to ask for advice or Alchemy.

But unfortunately, Chen Fan usually disappeared early, only returning at night, then repeating the next day.

Because of this, he admired him greatly.

No wonder he was so powerful; born talented and diligent.

"Miss, our Chairman isn't lying," Xu Jie helped explain, "Brother Chen usually hunts Fierce Beasts during the day and returns to cultivate at night. It's hard for us to see him often."

"Indeed, if you really want to see him, you can wait until the evening."

"Really?" Wang Lingling felt an indescribable oddness.

The one with the surname Li, wondering if he'd be out hunting Fierce Beasts.

And in the Martial Arts Association, this Chen Fan also hunts Fierce Beasts.

Could they be the same person?

"What am I thinking about?"

She shook her head, finding the idea unrealistic and irrelevant to her.

However, she had nothing else to do.

"Fine, I'll come back in the evening to see if this Chen is as good as you say."

She then walked straight out.

"?" The crowd was puzzled.

What's going on, she's leaving already?

Wasn't she going to spar with the Chairman? Now that he's here, she's leaving?

"Could she be leaving early knowing she would lose?" Someone murmured.

The voice wasn't loud, but clear to Wang Lingling.

The next moment, he felt a kick and fell to the ground.

At the same time, Xu Jie's voice was heard,

"Chairman, why do you have an extra wallet in your hand?"

"Huh?" Sun Wei looked down and saw a black wallet in his right hand.

"A gift for you." Came a woman's voice from outside the hall.

Sun Wei broke into a cold sweat.

If she could stealthily place a wallet in his hand, wouldn't taking his life be just as easy?

And, if he guessed right, the wallet was the one from the guy who got kicked.

At that moment, the hall fell into an eerie silence.

After a long while, Gao Shan chuckled bitterly, "Chairman, probably only Brother Chen could match her, right?"

"Yes." Sun Wei sighed deeply.

He was also worried; with such terrifying speed, could even Brother Chen be her match?
