Chapter 575: Destined!?
That black light energy ball containing the power of annihilation suddenly exploded!
The illusory dragon behind Fang Yu abruptly enlarged, blocking all the annihilation power that was blasting toward the rear.
On the front side, Yi Duanliu was instantly pulverized by the scattered annihilation power, disappearing into thin air!
“Boom……”
The entire Nandu Hotel was violently shaking, with rumbling sounds rising from all directions.
Only after more than ten seconds did it gradually calm down.
Fang Yu stood in place, the illusory dragon behind him vanished, and the aura on his body had diminished significantly.
He looked down at his right hand.
Even after crushing an energy ball containing annihilation power, his right hand didn’t have the slightest damage.
To be honest, if it wasn’t for trying to experience the feeling, there would be no need to use sacred power to deal with someone as insignificant as Yi Duanliu.
But Fang Yu’s brows remained tightly furrowed.
For some reason, he felt that the integration between himself and the sacred power was not yet perfect.
After releasing the sacred power, his sensitivity to his own body decreased significantly.
This feeling was abnormal.
No matter what high-level energy one masters, the human physical body should always maintain the dominant position.
This was Fang Yu’s first time using sacred power on a large scale, and he already felt as if his body wasn’t his own.
“Could it be that the refinement isn’t thorough enough? That shouldn’t be the case.” Fang Yu frowned deeply, thinking.
He had refined the dragon’s origin twice in total.
Continuing with a third refinement would merely be circulating the sacred power through his meridians again, without any further extraction of essence.
In other words, there should be no problem with the refinement.
But if the dragon’s origin had been thoroughly refined, why couldn’t Fang Yu dominate the sacred power?
Fang Yu rubbed his chin, completely puzzled.
At this moment, the entire Nandu Hotel lobby was in shambles.
But the chandeliers hanging from the ceiling seemed to be of excellent quality; even after experiencing such a massive shock, they still hadn’t fallen and continued to emit light.
Fang Yu turned around and found that on Lin Batian’s side, everyone was looking at him as if he were a deity.
This group of people had already witnessed Fang Yu’s skills before and admired him immensely, even believing he was omnipotent.
But after seeing what just happened, their image of Fang Yu in their hearts was once again overturned.
Fang Yu… was much stronger than they had imagined, and far from reaching his limit!
Fang Yu turned his head to look at Gu Rong, who was on the ground in the distance, staring at him.
“Puff!”
The moment he made eye contact with Fang Yu, Gu Rong spat out a mouthful of fresh blood and fainted.
In the moment before losing consciousness, his heart was filled only with regret.
This Fang Yu was not someone he could provoke!
The master Yi Duanliu whom he had relied on couldn’t even leave ashes behind now… such an outcome was enough to leave a psychological shadow on him for the rest of his life.
Almost all the other members of the Xiangcheng Chamber of Commerce present had fainted, with only a few emitting weak moans.
And those martial artists who had been arranged near the hotel earlier, after sensing the terrifying aura emanating from inside the hotel, had already scattered.
They knew that their opponent was not on the same level as them, and no one wanted to gamble with their life!
As for those financial backers, they could die for all they cared; they could find new ones later!
The Nine Provinces Nation had no shortage of wealthy people!
“Get ready to leave,” Fang Yu walked back to the original table and said to the dazed crowd.
“Fang Yu, you…” Lin Batian’s face also showed shock, then said, “Never mind, let’s talk when we get back.”
“F-Fang Yu, are you okay?” Tang Xiaoqiu stared at Fang Yu, stuttering.
“What do you think?” Fang Yu asked in return.
At this moment, Fang Yu remembered Bai Ran and turned to walk toward the corner of the lobby.
Bai Ran was lying on the ground, watching Fang Yu approach step by step.
“B-benefactor… you saved my life again,” Bai Ran said with difficulty.
“Before you become invincible, it’s best to understand your opponent’s strength roughly before each confrontation, otherwise you’ll suffer greatly like now,” Fang Yu said.
As he spoke, Fang Yu placed his hand on the back of Bai Ran’s neck, his palm emitting a white light.
Bai Ran immediately felt the pain in his body decrease significantly.
“Invincible… Benefactor, have you… reached this level now?” Bai Ran asked.
Fang Yu paused, then shook his head and said, “Of course not, but it’s true that I haven’t encountered an opponent whose strength I needed to understand in advance for a long time.”
“You… isn’t that being invincible?” Bai Ran asked.
Fang Yu didn’t respond, the white light in his hand growing increasingly brilliant.
After more than ten seconds, he released his hand and said, “I’ve helped repair all the serious injuries in your body; you can heal the rest yourself.”
With that, Fang Yu stood up.
The pain in Bai Ran’s body disappeared, and much of his strength was restored.
He immediately got up and knelt before Fang Yu.
“Benefactor, you’ve saved me twice, and I have no way to repay you. I don’t dare hope to become your disciple. I only hope you’ll allow me to follow you, serve you, and help you with whatever I can,” Bai Ran said, kneeling on the ground.
Again!?
Fang Yu recalled that Ye Shengxue had done the same thing before.
“I don’t have anything that needs your service. You should go forge your own path. With your talent, after a decade or more of cultivation… although you won’t reach my level, you’ll certainly be able to easily crush someone like Yi Duanliu if you encounter them again,” Fang Yu said.
“Yi Duanliu is dead, my vengeance is fulfilled. Now, I only want to repay your kindness!” Bai Ran insisted.
Fang Yu was about to say something when Lin Batian walked over.
“Since you admire this young man so much, why not let him follow you? In the future, if you encounter some minor matters, you can have him handle them for you, so you don’t have to run around everywhere,” Lin Batian said.
Hearing Lin Batian say this, Fang Yu looked at Bai Ran, pondered for a moment, and said, “Alright, you can follow me for now.”
“Thank you, benefactor, for giving me the opportunity to repay your kindness!” Bai Ran kowtowed heavily.
……
After resolving the matter, Fang Yu and Lin Batian sat in Ji Rumei’s car, returning to the residential area.
As for Bai Ran, Fang Yu temporarily entrusted him to Tang Mingde, asking Tang Mingde to help him reshape his image and understand the current era, since he had been trapped for twenty years.
Sitting in the car, Ji Rumei looked at Fang Yu, her beautiful eyes gleaming with admiration.
Being stared at by Ji Rumei like this, Fang Yu felt somewhat uncomfortable.
“If you have questions, feel free to ask,” Fang Yu said.
“Mr. Fang, I really, really want to know… how many more abilities you haven’t shown yet,” Ji Rumei said, biting her red lips.
“He has many abilities. You need to get closer to him, understand him, to know,” Lin Batian said from the side.
“I’d like to understand Mr. Fang better, but Mr. Fang won’t give me that opportunity…” Ji Rumei said somewhat resentfully.
Looking at her slightly shy face, Lin Batian felt that strange feeling grow stronger in his heart.
How come even her personality seems similar now?
Back when Leng Xunshuang wasn’t familiar with Fang Yu, she seemed to have said similar words and shown similar expressions!
“No, no. It must be my preconceived notions affecting my judgment…” Lin Batian shook his head, no longer dwelling on it.
Soon, the car drove back to the entrance of the residential area.
“Mr. Fang, goodbye, good night.” Ji Rumei stood at the car door, gave Fang Yu a slight bow, then returned to the car and left.
“Sigh, really…” Lin Batian was about to speak as he watched the receding taillights.
“Don’t mention her again. There’s truly no connection between the two of them,” Fang Yu glanced at Lin Batian and said.
Lin Batian’s expression froze, and knowing Fang Yu’s mood, he didn’t continue on this topic.
The two returned home and sat on the sofa.
“By the way, Fang Yu. When did you acquire the power of the divine dragon?” Lin Batian suddenly remembered and asked.
“I found the dragon’s origin at the bottom of the sea earlier, and then absorbed it into my body,” Fang Yu answered.
“You found the dragon’s origin at the bottom of the sea?! Are you sure? For so many years, so many cultivators have been searching for the divine dragon, yet not even a scale was found, but you found the dragon’s origin!?” Lin Batian asked excitedly.
“Yes, I guess it was just good luck; I found it unexpectedly,” Fang Yu said.
“…This probably can’t be explained by luck. I think it was destined,” Lin Batian said, narrowing his eyes.
