Keep in mind that he is now Intermediate Psychic, with Psychic Power of nearly 14,000p, which means his mental dimension reaches 1,400 meters. Yet, he couldn't even cover half of it, which shows just how vast Fortress No. 1 is!
Of course, this is also related to the spiritual energy revival in the 28th century, which caused the size of Blue Star to increase tenfold.
Correspondingly, the area of the original Fortress No. 1 also increased tenfold in proportion.
"Buzz buzz--" The phone vibrated.
Jiang Fan and the fat man were both taken aback, because their phones rang almost simultaneously.
After exchanging a glance, the two moved in opposite directions to answer their own phone calls.
The call on Jiang Fan's end was from Tang Duo.
" Xiao Fan, have you arrived at your stop?"
"Just got off the train."
After Jiang Fan answered that question, he heard a sigh of relief from the other end of the phone.
Hearing Tang Duo's worries, he was both amused and exasperated.
It was one thing for Tang Duo to treat him like a child and protect him before, but two months ago she clearly witnessed his methods and power with her own eyes, and knew that he was Spirit Master, yet she was still worried that something might happen to him on the road.
"You, I told you I'd come pick you up, but you wouldn't listen, saying you're not a child anymore."
Tang Duo said coquettishly, although she knew that Jiang Fan couldn't see her through the phone, she still couldn't help but roll her eyes at the air.
Jiang Fan was even more dumbfounded. "I'll be 18 after the New Year. Besides, I'm the top martial arts examiner at Fortress No. 31. How can I be a child?"
No matter how capable you are, you'll never be older than me. In my heart, my Xiao Fan will always be a child, always my little brother.
Hearing these words touched Jiang Fan deeply.
For a moment, he didn't know how to answer.
Tang Duo changed the subject, " Xiao Fan, can you find Yunlu Bay?"
Yunlu Bay was the place Yuanwu arranged for the Tang Family to live. Before coming here, Tang Duo had mentioned it to Jiang Fan, saying that Yunlu Bay was one of the most upscale villa areas in Fortress No. 1. She even sent him many photos, expressing her amazement at never having seen such a large and luxurious villa area. She also mentioned that there was a fountain seven or eight meters high, a swimming pool the size of two football fields, and much, much more...
The shock was indescribable, and the joy was boundless.
Jiang Fan felt very gratified when he heard these words.
Because he created all of this, he wanted to do more to make his family's life better.
Therefore, he needs to work even harder to improve his skills.
The fat man answered the phone.
" Xiao Sanjin, now that you're away from home, have you missed your great-grandmother?"
The woman speaking was leaning against a mahogany armchair, her long, waterfall-like hair loosely tied up with only an antique-style jade hairpin, adding to her languid air.
The red four-petaled plum blossom adorning her fair forehead added an extra touch of allure.
"Grandpa, please stop teasing me. We've only been apart for less than two months, okay?" The fat man said helplessly.
The woman twirled a strand of hair between her fingers and said with a charming smile, "Haven't you heard the saying 'a day apart feels like three autumns'? We haven't seen each other for two months, hmm, how many autumns is that? That's a lot of numbers, how should we calculate it?"
Fatty "..."
The fat man felt very tired. His ancestor had always doted on him, and he liked her very much. After all, who could resist an elder who was both incredibly beautiful and incredibly kind to them?
Even though his ancestor was so old, he always liked to tease him.
And after teasing her, she would always put on an innocent and naive young girl act.
This gave him a real headache.
"Alright, I'll stop teasing you. I sent you to investigate clues about Xiao Yan at the outer fortress. Any news?"
The woman asked the fat man to investigate, partly to give him some experience.
It's all because the fat guy is so afraid of death that he absolutely refuses to leave Pill Pavilion.
Although the Pill Pavilion was established hundreds of years ago and has developed well in various fortresses, the ancient wisdom tells the world that nothing lasts forever.
Even the once-prosperous Church of Justice, now without that person, has begun its decline, and a steep one at that.
The fat man shook his head. "For the past two months, I've been investigating from the outer perimeter of Fortress No. 26 all the way to Fortress 30, but I haven't gotten any useful information yet."
After a two-second pause, the woman asked, "You haven't been to Fortress No. 31 yet?"
Upon hearing this, the fat man was taken aback, not understanding why the ancestor would specifically mention Fortress No. 31.
Before the other party could give an explanation, he suddenly started appearing frequently in the news media in recent days at Fortress No. 31.
This was not only because a candidate from an outer fortress overwhelmed his peers with the strength of Late-Stage First-Rank Martial Artist during the martial arts exam, but also because the previous beast tide almost caused Fortress No. 31 to disappear in the torrent of history.
"You suspect that the aura of the Crimson Flame Phoenix might have originated from Fortress No. 31?"
"That's just my guess," the woman said.
"Wait a minute, I need to ask someone."
The fat man turned around to look; he had originally intended to ask Jiang Fan, but when he turned around, he found that Jiang Fan was gone.
Gone?
When did you leave?
Why didn't you even say hello to him?
The woman asked curiously, "Who do you want to ask?"
"He's the one who came with me, the martial arts champion from Fortress No. 31." The fat man said as he anxiously continued searching for Jiang Fan in the crowd.
Hearing him say that, the woman's beautiful eyes lit up with interest.
"You mean that guy—what was his name again? Oh dear, my memory's failing me. I'm getting old, I just forget things easily. I've been seeing him on my phone all the time lately."
The fat man curled his lip. Everyone in the Pill Pavilion knew that when the Ancestor said she was old, she was just waiting for others to praise her for being well-preserved and young and beautiful. If anyone dared to say that she was indeed old, they could expect a storm to come their way.
Knowing this perfectly well, the fat man was clearly driven by a strong will to survive.
"How can you say that? You're so young; people would think you're a middle school girl."
The woman immediately beamed with joy, touching her smooth, delicate face as she smiled, her eyes crinkling.
"Oh dear... that's quite an exaggeration. I don't look that young at all; I look more like a high school student."
Fatty "..."
"Has he disappeared?" the woman asked again.
"Yeah, it was just here a moment ago," the fat man muttered to himself.
"It's alright, you're both studying at Fortress No. 1 anyway, you'll definitely see each other again. You can ask him about it then."
The fat man nodded. "That's the only way."
I wonder which martial arts school Jiang Fan went to? How come I forgot to ask such an important question on the train?
However, regardless of which martial arts school it is, it's definitely not the same one as his. After all, with Jiang Fan's talent, he must be crazy to go to Yuanwu, which is known for its Corpse Martial.
