Unrivaled Martial Emperor

Chapter 548 - Famous Overnight

The nearby Flying Eagle Alliance members were all dumbstruck as they watched the aura trying to resist Chen Fan’s palm. Sparks flew everywhere and loud clunks rang out.

It actually looked like the fragment’s aura was fighting a steel plate. Just how horrifyingly tough was his physique? He was simply like a god or a devil.

The people’s gazes toward Chen Fan changed once more, viewing him as a freak of nature.

Chen Fan ignored the crowd. His true primeval surged like the Yangtze River as he channeled the Myriad Elephants Divine Art to the limit. “Hmph, retrieve!”

No one understood his situation better than himself.

To the crowd, he looked like a god or a devil, but only he knew how sharp and terrifying the Martial Dao Will fragment was.

Despite channeling the Myriad Elephants Divine Art to the limit, the sharp aura still cut through his steel palm and rushed into him, wreaking havoc.

It felt like a knife had entered him and was trying to cut his meridians, flesh, and blood.

Chen Fan thought that even if Myriad Elephants Divine Art advanced to the fifteenth layer, reaching complete mastery, it would not be easy for him to retrieve the Martial Dao Will fragment with his bare hands.

“What an incredible physique he has! It’s no wonder he could trounce Luo Qian. What a monster!”

“I know, right? It really looks like the Martial Dao Will fragment is fighting a steel plate and not a human palm. Unbelievable.”

“I’m afraid he would be the first person in history to retrieve a Martial Dao Will fragment bare-handed. We’re witnessing the birth of a miracle.”

“Look, he picked up the Martial Dao Will fragment. It’s over.”

“......”

Chen Fan picked up the Martial Dao Will fragment. Even though the sharp aura had cut his flesh, making him bleed, he did not frown.

He did not stay here any longer. He turned into a blur, turned into a streak of light, and disappeared into the horizon.

The Flying Eagle Alliance members stood dumbfounded for a while.

“That physique of his... Is it really a human’s body? Did he not transfer his consciousness into the body of some kind of demon god?”

“That is too scary. Once he is at the one-revolution level, I’m afraid his strength will be comparable to those few at the top. Who could stand against him then?”

“With that kind of power, he truly deserves to be called a supreme expert of the younger generation.”

“No one has ever dared to try grabbing a Martial Dao Will fragment with their bare hands. The fact that he even succeeded is simply unimaginable.”

“......”

Chen Fan had left with the Martial Dao Will fragment. Although the Flying Eagle Alliance members were gnashing their teeth in anger, no one dared to chase after him, as even their vice alliance leader, Luo Qian, had been defeated.

Their alliance leader, Liu Xin, also showed no intention of starting a fight with him. It was clear that even if they banded together, they wouldn’t be able to defeat him.

Chen Fan’s overwhelming strength was deeply imprinted in their hearts.

......

News of the ninth Martial Dao Will fragment appearing quickly drew the attention of countless people on the Hidden Dragon Island.

More information came from the mouths of the Flying Eagle Alliance members soon.

Someone named Chen Fan, some brat at the ninth level, had taken the will fragment. Owing to that, his name also became known to everyone overnight.

After all, the Flying Eagle Alliance had two three-revolution Golden Core experts even without Xiao Zhen. Their overall strength wasn’t considered weak among the various forces on Hidden Dragon Island. Otherwise, they wouldn’t have been able to repel a couple of forces and seize the Martial Dao Will fragment.

Yet, Chen Fan had snatched the fragment from them, and they dared not stop him.

The news quickly shook the entire Hidden Dragon Island, causing a major stir.

It soon came to light that despite being only at the late stage of the ninth level, Chen Fan had decisively defeated the three-revolution Golden Core expert Luo Qian.

If Liu Xin, the alliance leader, hadn’t intervened and offered the Martial Dao Will Fragment as a token of apology, Luo Qian would have been killed.

The question arose: what kind of strength would one need to subdue the entire Flying Eagle Alliance single-handedly?

Chen Fan quickly earned a reputation as a lone expert in the eyes of many.

The revelation that he had seized the Martial Dao Will Fragment with his bare hands and succeeded created an even bigger sensation, given the fragment’s terrifying nature.

Li Yao had taken the first will, but even he hadn’t dared to grab it with his bare hands. However, Chen Fan, a ninth-level Core Formation realm expert, did just that and succeeded.

What kind of abilities did this require?

What kind of a physique?

Chen Fan grew even more mysterious and powerful in the crowd’s eyes.

This also sparked greed in many people.

After all, Chen Fan was a lone ranger. Without any helper, it seemed appealing to try to snatch the Martial Dao Will fragment from him.

Naturally, those entertaining such thoughts were top experts with four-revolution Golden Core realm cultivation or higher.

Those weaker than them had no such ideas. If they went to find Chen Fan, they would only be dying in vain.

Chen Fan did not pay attention to the others’ reactions. After taking the fragment, he had quickly found a place and went into seclusion to comprehend the powers contained within the fragment.

Using a Martial Dao Will Fragment to understand Martial Dao Will was considered a shortcut.

Chen Fan did not intend to do so, however. He aimed to grasp the secrets within the fragment, achieve an understanding, and then slowly develop his own Martial Dao Will.

The Martial Dao Will fragment was a primer that would help him step on the path of comprehending his own Martial Dao Will.

While Chen Fan studied the fragment in seclusion, some people were searching for him, aiming to seize the Martial Dao Will Fragment in his possession.

After all, no matter how one looked at it, Chen Fan was the weakest among those who had obtained a Martial Dao Will fragment.

Even though he had snatched the Martial Dao Will fragment from the Flying Eagle Alliance, deterring some restless people and forces, not everyone was discouraged. Many forces were stronger than the Flying Eagle Alliance.

Of course, even more people were continuing their search for other Martial Dao Will fragments, hoping for the tenth fragment to appear.

However, as the days passed, there wasn't any more news of another Martial Dao Will fragment.

Thus, everyone realized that all the Martial Dao Will fragments had likely already appeared.

With a total of nine fragments, if anyone wanted to obtain one, they needed to seize it from the forces or experts in possession of one.
