The two took the private elevator and conveniently arrived at the President's Office.
Sometimes, Chu Han truly envied people like Zhao Feiyu who had connections.
Even the Martial Arts Association president's office could be used as a trading venue.
The moment he pushed open the door, Chu Han felt two powerful auras lock onto him at the same time.
Both auras were extremely powerful—stronger than that black-clothed old man from before!
Chu Han looked inside. Directly facing him was a middle-aged man who resembled Zhao Feiyu greatly. His strength was formidable, and he carried himself with extraordinary bearing.
This man must be Zhao Feiyu's father, and also the president of the Jiangcheng Martial Arts Association. His strength is at least Tier 6!
Chu Han thought to himself.
The other, even stronger aura came from a stern-faced old man seated on the sofa to Chu Han's right.
Within the aura released by the old man, he actually sensed traces of Spiritual Power fluctuations.
This old man is very likely a Tier 7 Grandmaster Level expert!
This shocked him greatly, and a flash of astonishment crossed his eyes.
Grandmaster Level—this was a realm countless martial artists dreamed of reaching.
Only upon reaching the Grandmaster realm could one be considered a true powerhouse!
Yet among a million martial artists, not even one might reach that realm.
There were only one or two hundred Grandmaster Level martial artists in the entire Longxia Federation. Every one of them was an existence capable of intimidating an entire city and guarding a whole region!
Beside the old man sat a sweet-looking young girl, who was sizing him up curiously. Her large eyes were filled with excitement and anticipation.
Perched on the girl's shoulder was a snow-white eaglet. Its sharp eagle eyes gleamed as it stared intently at the backpack behind Chu Han.
At that moment, Chu Han felt the pressure on him lighten as the two imposing auras vanished simultaneously.
Zhao Tianlong rose from his seat and beckoned Chu Han over with a smile. "You must be Chu Han, right? Come in and have a seat."
"Yes, hello, President Zhao." Chu Han nodded politely.
Zhao Tianlong laughed heartily. "You and Feiyu are good friends, so just call me Uncle Zhao. Feiyu has received quite a bit of care and help from you lately. As his father, I ought to thank you properly. If anything comes up in the future, feel free to come to me. In Jiangcheng, I still have a bit of say."
"You're too kind, Uncle Zhao. Feiyu and I are good friends. It's only natural for us to help each other."
Naturally, Chu Han would not refuse Zhao Tianlong's goodwill.
With this connection, things would at least be much more convenient in Jiangcheng.
"Brother Han, let me introduce you. This is my cousin, Lin Baiwei, and she's the buyer for this transaction."
Pointing at the girl, Zhao Feiyu introduced her to Chu Han. "She awakened an S-rank beast-taming talent, 'Lord of Ten Thousand Beasts.' This little white bird is her beast companion."
Chu Han had noticed the White Eagle on Lin Baiwei's shoulder and had already formed a guess.
But upon hearing Zhao Feiyu say that she had awakened an S-rank talent, he was still deeply shocked.
S-rank talents were not cabbages growing by the roadside, much less a beast-taming type.
He had not expected to encounter such an impressive buyer the very first time he sold a mutant beast cub.
He immediately thought of his Talent Copy Card!
If he copied Lin Baiwei's talent, wouldn't he gain an S-rank talent himself?
Chu Han's heart stirred as he continuously weighed the pros and cons.
In the end, however, he suppressed the thought.
Beast-taming talents were far too rare, and S-rank ones were rarer than phoenix feathers and qilin horns. If he suddenly possessed the same talent as Lin Baiwei—
He would inevitably draw the attention of many people in beast-taming circles.
There was simply no way to explain something like that.
Besides, he himself was not particularly interested in beast-taming talents.

He was still more inclined to copy a combat-type talent.
Chu Han quickly calmed his thoughts and smiled at Lin Baiwei. "Hello, I'm Chu Han."
"So you're Chu Han. You really are handsome! My cousin has told me so much about you that my ears are practically growing calluses from listening..."
Like a little bird chirping away, Lin Baiwei rattled off a great deal, repeating to Chu Han all the exaggerated praise Zhao Feiyu had embellished and told her.
The more Chu Han listened, the more something felt off. Even with his thick skin, he could not help blushing by the end.
He looked at Zhao Feiyu, his eyes full of questions.
Zhao Feiyu scratched his head awkwardly and chuckled. "Alright, none of that's important. Let's have my cousin take a look at that Black Mane Lion cub."
Chu Han also wanted to change the subject as soon as possible, so he took off the backpack behind him and opened it.
A fluffy little head suddenly poked out through the opening of the backpack. Its two round, dark eyes looked around curiously, wearing an adorably silly, rather dim-witted expression.
"Wow! So adorable!"
Lin Baiwei was instantly melted by the cuteness, her eyes filled with little stars.
She reached into the backpack, took out the Black Mane Lion cub, and placed it on her palm, stroking it gently.
The little fellow seemed to know that this beautiful woman would be its future owner. It actually took the initiative to rub against Lin Baiwei's palm and even stuck out its tongue to lick her.
"Look how close it is to me. It must like me!" Lin Baiwei lightly brushed a finger across its chest as her innate talent quietly activated. A gentle energy wrapped around the cub, making it grow even more attached to her. It curled up in her palm and soon fell asleep with soft snores.
"I want this little beast. Teacher, what do you think?"
The more Lin Baiwei looked at it, the more she liked it. She immediately turned to the elderly man beside her.
Elder Fan slowly opened his eyes at her words.
His gaze fell on the cub, and his tone carried a hint of approval. "This cub is quite good. Its bloodline has mutated. If properly nurtured, it should reach at least Tier 5, perhaps even Tier 6 in the future."
"When your cultivation is still weak, this Black Mane Lion will be able to provide you with considerable help."
"Then how does it compare to Snowball?" Lin Baiwei asked curiously.
Elder Fan's mouth twitched. With utmost seriousness, he said, "Snowball is a Spirit Beast. At adulthood, it will be at least Tier 7. They aren't even comparable!"
"Oh, so Snowball really is stronger after all. You're not allowed to bully it," Lin Baiwei said to Snowball.
Snowball merely shot the Black Mane Lion cub a disdainful glance, then lifted its head proudly.
Seeing that Snowball ignored her, Lin Baiwei did not get angry. She simply stroked the Black Mane Lion cub and said, "Don't worry. With me here, it won't dare bully you."
Elder Fan looked at his student and smiled helplessly before turning to Chu Han. "A Black Mane Lion cub would be worth no more than thirty million on the market. But this little beast's bloodline has mutated, and its potential has greatly increased. I can have Baiwei pay you fifty million Federal currency. What do you think?"
"Fifty million?!"
Chu Han was shaken. He had thought it would already be good if he could sell it for twenty million. He had never expected it to fetch fifty million!
It seemed he had still underestimated this cub's value!
He nodded. "Sure! Since Senior has set the price, I naturally have no objections."
The old man nodded. "Good. Baiwei, pay him."
"Chu Han, I'll transfer the money to you!"
Lin Baiwei impatiently transferred fifty million into Chu Han's account without even furrowing her brow.
Chu Han could not help being astonished by her rich-lady behavior. Even Zhao Feiyu, standing nearby, watched with immense envy.
Ever since Lin Baiwei had awakened an S-rank talent, she had become the family's treasure.
The Lin Family Head had even given Lin Baiwei one billion Federal currency in startup funds without a moment's hesitation, turning her into a rich lady.
"Alright, this cub is yours now." Chu Han smiled.
He was happy as well. Not only had he made money, but he had also found the cub a good owner.
At the same time, a thought surfaced in his mind.
Perhaps when he went into the wilderness in the future, he should keep an eye out for more mutant beast cubs. That could be another road to riches.
