Chapter 219


    Fade Chen took out a booklet and handed it to Elder Chai, saying, ''Tm here to return this."


    "This..." The elder took over the booklet and examined it closer. Instantly, his eyes widened and he


    eximed, "The Cloud-Reaching Skill, this is something that the n has been looking for for


    ages."


    "Mr. Chen, are you the one who killed the traitor, Feather Gu, in Hanover City?" Elder Chai looked


    at Fade expectantly.


    Fade nodded and said, "Yes, that''s me. I happened toe here on my way, so I thought about


    returning this booklet back to the Cloud n."


    "Thank you so much, Mr. Chen." Elder Chai saluted deeply towards Fade.


    Fade Chen was about to leave but was stopped by Elder Chai, who wanted to get all the elders


    together to thank him in person.


    Fade agreed and 15 minutester, 8 elders had gathered in the n''s side hall. As the Guardian of


    the n, Donavan Zhuo was not there, Elder Chai was the one who had the most authority there.


    He took out the booklet and started exining the whole incident to


    the other elders.


    After hearing the story, all the elders were in ecstasy and quickly took a look at the Cloud Reaching


    Skill booklet. After confirming that it was the real deal, the elders immediately thanked Fade politely.


    Fade responded by waving his hand as a gesture of goodwill.


    But at this time, a somewhat unfriendly voice could be heard amongst the crowd, saying "Mr. Chen,


    may I ask you a question?"


    Everyone including Fade turned towards the voice. An elder in his fifties that had eyes as sharp as


    daggers was ring at him sternly. Fade lowered his gaze and replied, "Yes, please do."


    The elder nced around and asked, "I would like to know, how did you find Feather, how did you


    kill him, and how did you find the Cloud Reaching Skill?"


    As soon as these questions were asked, Fade''s expression hardened.


    Everyone''s expression froze in awkwardness and Elder Chai quickly came over. He snapped,


    "Elder Hu, Mr. Chen has done a great favor for us. What do you mean by this?"


    Elder Hu shook his head and looked at Fade, saying, "If everything is true, Mr. Chen is naturally the


    benefactor of our n. But I''m worried that something is wrong."


    "Wrong? What do you mean?" Fade asked coldly.


    Elder Hu''s eyes narrowed as his gaze was fixated on Fade and asked sternly, "ording to the


    rumors, Feather has now reached midck Level and has overwhelming strength. I want to ask


    you, Mr. Chen, you''re in your mid twenties, so how did you manage to kill Feather since he''s at mid-


    ck Level?"


    When everyone heard this, they couldn''t help but stare at Fade. Although they didn''t doubt what he


    said, but they were still curious to how he was so powerful.


    Upon hearing this, Fade simply said, "How, you ask? I merely defeated him, then I killed him. That''s


    all there is."


    "Defeat him?" Elder Hu let out a muffled snort. "That’s easy for Mr. Chen to say. Then, may I ask


    you, Mr. Chen, how did you defeat an expert at the mid-ck Level? You should know that with


    Feather’s current strength, even a few elders like us would be at a disadvantage if we were to fight


    against him." Fade sneered and said, "I defeated him with strength alone. How else would I have


    defeated him?"


    "Nonsense!" Elder Hu sneered. "Mr. Chen, you''re exaggerating. To defeat a professional at the mid-


    ck Level, you would have to be at the peak of the ck Level. Or do you mean that you''ve


    already attained that level?"


    As soon as he finished asking, Elder Hu shook his head with a look of disbelief. The elders around


    him did not think it was possible.


    Elder Chai tried to calm everyone down, "Perhaps, Feather isn''t as powerful as the rumors say? Or


    perhaps he didn''t expect Mr. Chen''s strength?"


    Elder Hu shook his head and said, "Elder Chai, you''re trying to say that it was a sneak attack, aren''t


    you? Even if it was one, it still would be no easy feat to defeat a mid- ck Level martial artist. One


    would need to be at the early-ck Level stages to do so. Mr. Chen, have you attained this level


    maybe?"


    With that, he turned back at Fade with a glint of doubt in his eyes.


    Fade''s eyes narrowed with the usation, secretly fuming inside. However, he chose not to directly


    confront them or exin. Instead, he turned around and fixed his gaze upon a big bronze pir


    situated in the middle of the hall. He walked to it and stared at it, deep in thought.


    "What are you going to do?" Elder Hu asked in confusion. "Are you trying to avoid my question?"


    All of a sudden, Fade gave a loud war cry and jabbed his right index finger out.


    Immediately, a fiery-red aura wrapped around his finger and shot out like an arrow headed for its


    target.


    The crowd saw this and could not help but be shocked.


    "What, what is he going to do?"


    "Mr. Chen, stop it!"


    Amidst the surprise, Fade thrust forward his finger towards the pir. A loud crack sound could be


    heard and he quickly withdrew his hand and ced them behind his back, as though nothing had


    happened.


    The elders all looked at the pir wide-eyed. What they saw shocked them all, as a fingersized hole


    had appeared on the sturdy pir. The hole had been cleanly drilled through the pir as though it


    was there all along.


    All the elders gasped and looked at Fade in disbelief.


    "Did he just stab a hole through the pir with one finger? What, what kind of strength is this?" "I''m


    at the early stages of the ck Level, and I am only able to smash the pir with my palm due to its


    thickness. To be able to drill a hole with one finger is too advanced for me."

    "So, has Mr. Chen really reachedte ck Level? Or has he reached the legendary Earth Level?"


    "Then what Mr. Chen said just now waspletely true. He must''ve crushed Featherpletely!"


    All the elders were very excited. Fade turned and looked at Elder Hu who was full of doubt. He


    asked coldly, "Elder Hu, do you still have any doubts?"


    Elder Hu''s expression was uncertain and his face paled. He didn''t expect Fade to be so powerful.


    With such strength, it was more than easy for him to defeat Feather.


    After a moment of silence, Elder Hu looked up at Fade and said, "Even if Mr. Chen is powerful


    enough to kill Feather, I still have one more question."


    "What is it this time?" Fade sighed impatiently.


    Elder Chai and the others desperately tried to send signs to Elder Hu to stop provoking Fade. If he


    had made an enemy out of Fade, it would be a big blow to the Cloud n who had just regained its


    ce in the ck Level ns.


    Elder Hu pretended not to notice and continued asking Fade sharply, "Since Mr. Chen found the


    booklet containing the Cloud Reaching skill from Feather, you must have read it."


    After a slight pause, he continued, "The Cloud Reaching skill is one of the most renowned skills


    from the Cloud n. Even if some Earth Level ns tried to request them from us, we have never


    agreed to their requests. Since Mr. Chen has looked through the booklet, may I know how much


    you remember?"
