"Yes."

Chen Fan nodded.

"Do you feel confident?"

Elder Wang asked with a smile.

"Somewhat."

Chen Fan replied honestly.

"Somewhat."

Elder Wang shook his head and said, "If it's just somewhat, then it's far from enough."

Chen Fan remained silent.

Currently, he shouldn't have much trouble defending against several waves of Beast Tide.

But after that...

He could only quickly improve his strength to the level that could rival Beast Emperor Level Fierce Beasts or even surpass them!

However, he couldn't say such things outright and could only take it one step at a time.

"How about this."

Elder Wang said, suddenly revealing an ancient book in his hand, with the words "Sacred Heart Technique" written on the cover.

"!"

Chen Fan's pupils instantly enlarged.

Sacred Heart Technique?

"It seems you have heard a bit about this Supreme Martial Art."

Elder Wang chuckled, placing the secret manual on the coffee table.

"Yes."

Chen Fan nodded and said, "Sacred Heart Technique, after cultivation, can grant eternal life and everlasting youth. It also contains many bizarre attack methods, even a glance can cause the enemy's soul to scatter."

"It's not that exaggerated."

Elder Wang stroked his beard and smiled, "The Sacred Heart Technique as a Supreme-level Martial Art is indeed extraordinary, but it's not as legendary as it is made out to be. There are countless cultivation techniques out there that are stronger, and what they can't do, how could it?"

However, while it cannot make one immortal, it can greatly extend one's lifespan, as evidenced by my own existence of over a thousand years."

Chen Fan wasn't surprised, having already heard it from the President.

He was more puzzled about why this Sacred Heart Technique was placed in front of him. Was it meant as a gift?

"I came here this time specifically at Shi Tao's request to take you away."

Elder Wang continued, "If you are willing to come to the headquarters with me, you can have this Sacred Heart Technique. Don't doubt it; this is the genuine and complete manuscript. With your talent, once you've learned it, even the Three-headed Beast Emperor Level Fierce Beast wouldn't be worth mentioning before you."

Chen Fan was stunned and looked up at him.

So, Elder Wang intended to buy him off with a complete Sacred Heart Technique?

Though he indeed coveted this martial art.

For the average person, without Phoenix Blood, it would be impossible to cultivate this martial art to the highest realm.

But he was different; theoretically speaking, as long as he had enough Experience Points, he could succeed. If not, he wouldn't lose anything.

However, Elder Wang's intent was clear.

If he took this cultivation technique, he'd have to leave with him.

The next moment, a bitter smile appeared on his lips as he said, "Is Elder Wang testing me?"

"It's a test, but it's also not."

Elder Wang chuckled, "What I just said is my genuine concern. It's good that you can resist the Beast Tide, but from a certain perspective, it's a bad thing as well.

Due to Anshan City's remoteness, the longer you hold out, the more firepower you'll attract. You might even alert the Beast Emperor Level Fierce Beasts, and then, do you think you could still hold out?

Rather than facing life-threatening danger then, why not leave early, as wise men avoid dangerous situations, isn't that right?

Even if Yan Country was destroyed someday, with this martial art, you could still rise again, couldn't you?"

Elder Wang's tone was gentle.

Chen Fan took a deep breath and slowly said, "A thousand years is too long; seize the day."

Elder Wang's gaze subtly changed, then he said, "So, you prefer to miss this opportunity and stay behind?"

"Actually, there's no conflict between staying and obtaining this cultivation technique." Chen Fan whispered.

Elder Wang was taken aback, then laughed heartily, re-evaluating the young man before him.

He was extremely mysterious at the headquarters, with few knowing his existence. Only Shi Tao frequently saw him.

But Shi Tao would never say such things out of respect and character.

"You sure have fanciful thoughts."

Elder Wang wiped the smile off his face, "You either stay or go. If you go, you can have this cultivation technique. If you stay, I will take it back."

"Then I'll choose to stay."

Chen Fan sighed lightly.

After all, he couldn't go back on his decision.

As for the Sacred Heart Technique.

Getting the complete version would be great, saving a lot of trouble. On reaching the Perfection Realm, it could directly complement similar higher-level cultivation techniques, like the Longevity Technique.

Once he had elevated it to the Perfection Realm, it indeed unlocked the entire progress of the Longevity Technique, now a bit over one-seventh, nearly one-sixth.

If he couldn't get it, that was fine too.

He could still complete it himself.

Just, it would take more time.

"Are you sure?"

"Yes."

Chen Fan nodded decisively.

Elder Wang nodded approvingly, "Very good, it seems you truly are as straightforward as they say."

"So, Elder Wang was indeed testing me?"

Chen Fan looked at the secret manual on the table.

Could it be fake?

"Why, do you suspect the manual on the table is fake?" Elder Wang smiled, "It's indeed genuine, but without Phoenix Blood, it's difficult to cultivate. Forcing it could lead to devastating consequences. Otherwise, I would have passed it to Shi Tao long ago."

Having said that, he took the manual back into his Spatial Ring.

In the next moment, another book appeared on the table.

"Flying Star Nine Revolutions Technique."

"What's this?"

Chen Fan was startled, looking at the manual and then at Elder Wang.

Was this really meant to be given to him?

Elder Wang smiled:

"This is also a complete Supreme-level Martial Art. Have you heard of it?"

"Yes."

Hearing the phrase "complete version," Chen Fan's eyes flashed with surprise, then said, "I've heard that this martial art enhances explosive power."

"Right."

Elder Wang explained, "This martial art enhances power each time it's activated. One revolution after another, power can be significantly amplified by multiples. However, each revolution has a usage limit, especially the repeat rotations. A person may only use it two or three times in their lifetime."

"I see."

Chen Fan realized, thinking that this cultivation technique had quite severe limitations.

Seeing Chen Fan's thoughts, Elder Wang smiled, "Don't be greedy. This technique can enhance the power of all martial arts, potentially changing the course in dire moments. Even if it can be used only once, it's like having an extra life."

"Elder Wang is right."

Chen Fan quickly said.

"Yes."

Elder Wang nodded slightly, "For techniques without usage limitations enhancing martial arts power, they exist, but collecting and learning them is challenging, like the No Desire Technique."

"No Desire Technique?"

Chen Fan's eyes brightened.

Did Elder Wang possess a complete version of the No Desire Technique?

Was it real?

"I don't have that cultivation technique."

Elder Wang glanced at him.

"Cough, Elder Wang, I didn't mean that." Chen Fan coughed twice.

Elder Wang smiled, "During my time, fewer than this number of people mastered this technique."

He held up three fingers.

"Three people."

"Yes," Elder Wang sighed, "but nearly a hundred mastered the Flying Star Nine Revolutions Technique."

"That's quite a disparity." Chen Fan said.

"Indeed, so I'm gifting this technique to you. After you take it, train hard. If you encounter difficulties, you can ask me anytime. Even mastering one revolution will significantly boost your chances."
