Jinghua City.
Budo Association Headquarters.
Headquarters President Sima Xuefeng sat calmly on the top floor of the office building, quietly looking at the group of Peak Emperor Stage Elders and Branch Presidents who had just arrived.
"Sir President, according to your request, all the Elders and Branch Presidents with Peak Emperor Stage cultivation in the city and several nearby cities have been summoned."
Qi Bing, the Vice President of the Budo Association, stood in front of the table and reported softly to Sima Xuefeng.
Qi Bing was also very curious. She didn't know what major event had happened in the association that could make the President summon all the Peak Emperors in the nearby associations at once.
It would not be an exaggeration to say that the ten Peak-Level Sovereigns in front of him were the entire foundation of the Martial Arts Association in the capital. Six of them had been rescued by Elder Yang Fan when they were on the brink of death and restored to their former Peak Martial Arts cultivation.
Qi Bing remembered very clearly that the last time the President had summoned all these big shots was when the dozen or so half-step Demon Emperors from the Thousand Monster Mountain invaded at the same time. She didn't know why this time, but she didn't see any great Demon Emperors invading outside the city.
At this time, not only Qi Bing, but the ten Peak Emperors present were also a little nervous, guessing the purpose of this trip.
"Greetings, Sir President!"
As soon as Qi Bing's voice fell, she saw Sima Xuefeng looking at them. The ten Peak Emperors in the association bowed to Sima Xuefeng at the same time.
Sima Xuefeng waved his hand lightly and said indifferently, "We're all brothers, no need to be so polite."
"I'm sure you're also curious as to why this President has activated the emergency signal to summon all of you back to the headquarters at the same time."
The ten people's expressions didn't change. They cupped their hands and replied at the same time, "Sir President, please tell us what you need. We are deeply indebted to you. For you and the association, we are willing to go through water and tread on fire. Even if we die, we have no regrets!"
Sima Xuefeng couldn't help but shake his head and smile. Looking at their solemn and nervous expressions, they must have misunderstood something.
"Elders and branch presidents, there's no need to be nervous. The association isn't facing any life-or-death crisis. Although I've called you here for an urgent matter, it won't be dangerous at all. There's no need for you to go through fire and water."
Hearing this, the ten people couldn't help but heave a sigh of relief.
Although they were not afraid of death, it was naturally better if there was no danger.
"Our association has an Elder Yang Fan. I'm sure all of you have heard of him?"
Sima Xuefeng softly asked the ten peak Emperor Realm subordinates in front of him.
The ten of them nodded simultaneously.
"The Federation's number one Emperor-ranked doctor, I's old injuries were completely healed by Elder Yang's help!"
"This subordinate once sought out Elder Yang Fan to refine an Emperor-level Soul Refining Golden Pill and benefited greatly."
"I have a grandson who is a freshman at Jinghua University this year. He has already become Elder Yang Fan's disciple, and his cultivation has improved tremendously!"
"…"
Hearing Sima Xuefeng mention Elder Yang Fan, everyone present praised him at the same time. They had more or less received favors from Yang Fan and had a very good impression of Yang Fan.
Sima Xuefeng smiled and nodded. In the past few months, although Yang Fan rarely came to the Budo Association, many martial artists in the association had received many favors from him.
Not only did he treat seriously injured members for free, but he also refined Soul Refining Pills for his colleagues in the association for free. He was very popular and loved by the local members.
Of course, it wasn't just the Budo Association. The Spirit Reader Association was the same. Many local spirit readers also had a very good impression of Yang Fan.
After all, not only was Yang Fan an Elder of the Budo Association, but he also had the title of an Elder in the Spirit Reader Association.
Sima Xuefeng raised his hand and pressed down, temporarily suppressing the comments of the people below. He said calmly, "Now, I have a great opportunity related to Elder Yang Fan for you. It depends on whether you are willing to accept it or not."
Great Creation and Great Opportunity?
Everyone's breathing stopped at the same time, and they looked at Sima Xuefeng curiously.
If the President called it a great opportunity, it definitely couldn't be wrong. For a moment, everyone's curiosity was aroused by Sima Xuefeng's words.
Qi Bing, who was next to him, also pricked up her ears and was very curious.
"Just an hour ago, in the dormitory of Jinghua University where Elder Yang Fan was staying, 15 peak-level Sovereigns from various aristocratic families broke through to the half-step Emperor Realm at the same time. Did you feel it?"
Sima Xuefeng asked them softly.
Everyone looked at him blankly and surprised.
The four branch presidents who had just returned from other places naturally had no idea.
As for the other six local peak-level Sovereigns, because they had been in closed-door cultivation, they had little awareness of what was happening in the outside world.
Therefore, when they heard Sima Xuefeng say that there were 15 peak-level Sovereigns from aristocratic families who had broken through at the same time, they were all surprised and couldn't help but widen their eyes, thinking that they were hallucinating.
Was this possible?
The president couldn't be joking, right?
Breaking through to the half-step Emperor Realm was not like eating or drinking. How could so many peak-level Sovereigns break through at the same time?
"Is what the President said true?"
"Fifteen peak-level Sovereigns broke through at the same time. Doesn't that mean that there are fifteen more half-step Emperors in the capital?!"
"But, is this possible …"
There was an uproar below, and many people couldn't help but ask.
Some quick-witted people quickly realized something, and even their breathing became a little rapid.
Could it be that the great opportunity mentioned by the President was the secret of these peak-level Sovereigns breaking through to the half-step Emperor Realm?
Breaking through and stepping into the half-step Emperor Realm in one fell swoop had always been their long-cherished wish.
It was just that it was difficult to comprehend the laws, and it was difficult to improve their cultivation. They had been trapped in the realm of peak-level Sovereigns for too long. Among the ten peak-level Sovereigns in front of them, more than half had no hope of breaking through, and they had even given up on the idea of breaking through decades ago.
But at this moment …
Everyone's thoughts became active.
"Of course, this matter can't be faked. At the time of the incident, this President, the President Mei of the Spirit Reader Guild, and Principal Gu of the capital were all present. We witnessed the process of Ji Lianghuai, Li Guanying, and the other 15 peak-level Sovereigns breaking through with our own eyes."
"This is also the reason why I've specially gathered all of you here. Because this might be a rare opportunity for all of you. As long as all of you are willing, I'm 100% confident that all of you will be able to successfully advance like Ji Lianghuai and the others!"
Whoosh!
The air in the office suddenly fell silent, and everyone couldn't help but hold their breaths.
100% … Successfully breaking through to the half-step Emperor Realm?
Sir President, are you sure you're not joking with us?
Although the cultivation of the ten peak-level Sovereigns present was similar, there was a world of difference in age and their respective talent and comprehension.
If there was someone who could help one or two of them break through, there might be a little possibility, but Sima Xue Feng told them that all of them would be able to successfully break through!
This was a bit like bragging, wasn't it?
Even the three Sovereigns might not dare to say such a thing, right?
They didn't expect that the President, who had always been serious and serious, would have such a … naughty side.
"I know these words are a bit unbelievable."
Seeing the expressions of these people in front of him, Sima Xuefeng naturally knew what they were thinking.
"In fact, if this President hadn't seen it with his own eyes, I wouldn't have believed that such an outrageous thing could happen in this world."
"But this is the truth. It has already happened in front of this President's eyes. If you don't believe it, you can ask the Ji, Li, Luo, and Zhao families. The fifteen newly promoted half-step Emperors are from these four families."
When speaking of these words, Sima Xuefeng couldn't help but recall the spectacular scene when Yang Fan helped Ji Lianghuai and the others break through at the same time.
To be honest …
If it weren't for the fact that she had an inheritance and her master was one of the three Sovereigns of the Human Race, the Sword Emperor Pan Shaoyang, Sima Xuefeng might not be able to control herself. She might have thrown away her pride and acknowledged Yang Fan as her master on the spot.
Just kowtowing and calling him master would allow one to break through the bottleneck of the peak Emperor Realm in minutes. How many people could resist such a cheap thing?
"We naturally won't doubt Sir President's words, but this matter is really too unbelievable."
"May I ask Sir President, if we want to break through, what kind of price do we have to pay?"
Seeing that Sima Xuefeng didn't seem to be joking, and this kind of thing could be easily verified, so it couldn't be faked.
Therefore, the expressions of everyone present gradually became serious. Some people couldn't help but start to inquire about the specific situation.
There was never a free lunch in the world. If you wanted to get something, you would usually have to pay a corresponding price.
And the breakthrough of a peak Emperor Realm Master was no small matter. They wanted to know what kind of conditions were needed for them to successfully break through.
"It's very simple." Sima Xuefeng directly replied, "You just need to acknowledge Elder Yang Fan as your master and agree to join the Demon Extermination Sect. Elder Yang Fan will personally help you break through the current cultivation barrier."
"What? Acknowledge Elder Yang Fan as our master?"
"Sir President, this isn't funny at all. Not to mention Elder Yang Fan's age and qualifications, even if I and the others are willing to acknowledge him as their master, can he really help Elder I successfully break through?"
"Wait, according to what Sir President said, Ji Lianghuai, Li Guanying, and the others have already become Elder Yang Fan's disciples, right?"
Everyone was surprised and found it hard to accept for a moment.
Asking them, a group of old men who could even be Great Ancestors of Yang Fan, to acknowledge an eighteen or nineteen-year-old child as their master, was not only difficult to say, but also very unpleasant to hear.
Moreover, among them, there were some juniors who were also Yang Fan's disciples. If they also acknowledged him as their master, wouldn't their generation be in chaos?
What should they call their own grandchildren in the future? Would they call them grandchildren or junior brothers or sisters? Wouldn't that be a joke?
"I've already said it just now. I can fight for the opportunity for you, but the choice is in your hands."
Seeing the doubts and concerns in these people's hearts, Sima Xuefeng said indifferently, "Whether you want face or strength, it's all up to you.
"However, I think that since Ji Lianghuai, Li Guanying, and the others can put down their old faces to acknowledge him as their master, it's not impossible for you to do the same.
"Even if you're not doing it for yourself, you have to think about the entire Humans Federation, Jinghua City, and the Budo Association. They all need you to seize this opportunity to break through to half-step Rulers.
"Also, if I'm not mistaken, apart from the Budo Association, those who want to organize people to acknowledge Elder Yang Fan as their master, the Spirit Readers Association, the professors and teachers of Jinghua University, the City Governor's Office, and other local aristocratic families might be planning the same thing.
"Therefore, you have to acknowledge him as your master as soon as possible. If you're late, you might not even get the soup!"
