After consuming them, they could increase some Physical Attributes.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The Celestial God Fruit also cost 50,000 points, and it could increase two to three thousand points of Spirit Attributes.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Considering that Spirit Attribute was more difficult to enhance compared to attributes like Constitution, Power, and agility,\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>therefore, at the same price, the physical attribute enhancement brought by the Earth Spirit Fruit might not be just two to three thousand points.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Other than the Earth Spirit Fruit, there were five treasures each worth 10,000 points among the more valuable items, some enhancing Physical Attributes, and some enhancing agility and Power Attributes.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Initial estimates suggested they could also bring a few hundred points of enhancement.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Apart from these three, the remaining twenty items varied in price from a few hundred to a few thousand points each.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The higher value ones, priced at a few thousand points, would bring larger enhancements, likely in the hundreds or thousands of points.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The lower value ones, priced at a few hundred points, might only offer tens to a hundred points.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Chen Fan didn’t mind.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>As the saying goes, \"Even the legs of a mosquito are still meat.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Actually, he collected points rather quickly; it wasn’t difficult for him to exchange tens of thousands of points for some treasures.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>However, he had always spent his points on exchanging for Martial Arts Secret Manuals.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>And so, he hadn’t yet finished exchanging for all the Martial Arts he wanted.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Is there any more?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Chen Fan asked.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Really, there isn’t any more,\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Kevin cried.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>All the spatial items on his body had been given away.

Judging by his appearance, he didn’t seem to be lying. He nodded and said, \"Fine, I’ll trust you this time.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Including the large Spatial Ring previously, the gains from this person alone reached two to three hundred thousand points.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>It wasn’t a wasted trip.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Kevin finally breathed a sigh of relief.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>However, he didn’t completely relax.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Because he feared that after losing his value, this guy in front of him would mercilessly kill him with a single blow.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Your turn,\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Chen Fan walked to the next person.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Kevin finally exhaled a breath of relief.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Either way, his life should be safe for now.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The person Chen Fan turned to next broke out in a cold sweat, stammering as he revealed how to open his Spatial Ring.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Brother, the valuable items on us were all on Kevin, so there aren’t many good things in my space items,\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>he said cautiously.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Is that so?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Chen Fan responded noncommittally.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Upon opening the Spatial Ring, he was somewhat surprised.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The internal space of this Spatial Ring was also a hundred cubic meters.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>His gaze swept over the others; could it be that all Spatial Rings these people had were this large?\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>If that’s the case, he could gain a lot solely from these space items.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Indeed, as the person said, the ring had very few good items.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>There were only three or four treasures enhancing body attributes, each worth one or two thousand points.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>After glancing at him, Chen Fan walked to the next person.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Having learned from the previous examples, the next few people cooperated fully.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Chen Fan collected one space item after another.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Shen Si and the others couldn’t help but feel envious, but it was plain envy.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Because these were what Chen Fan deserved.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Quickly, all the spatial items from the more than ten people were in Chen Fan’s hands.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Among them, there were three large Spatial Rings, each with an internal space of a hundred cubic meters.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The other nearly twenty items were medium-sized, with an internal storage space of ten cubic meters each.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Compared to the large space items, they weren’t impressive in size, but they were numerous.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>A medium-sized space item with a ten cubic meter capacity was worth ten thousand points. Ten such items would be worth a hundred thousand points, and twenty would be worth two hundred thousand points.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Counting the three large Spatial Rings, the total value would be as high as 500,000 points!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Chen Fan felt he had profited sufficiently from these alone.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Not to mention, inside were treasures worth another three to four hundred thousand points.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>As Chen Fan stood there motionlessly, the Feng Country people didn’t dare to make a sound.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Some were filled with fear and helplessness.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>They didn’t know whether they would survive today.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Others made secret vows internally,\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>If they made it back alive today, they would skin this masked guy alive and tear him to pieces!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Not just him, but the people behind him and that Jiangnan Sub-district Martial Arts Association would all have to die!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Especially Kevin.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He looked at Chen Fan’s back with intense resentment in his eyes.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Since coming to Yan Country, he had never suffered such humiliation!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Usually, the Yan Country people he met were always respectful and deferential to him.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>But this guy here actually chopped off one of his arms!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Damn it!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>This guy deserves to die!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>At that moment, a voice rang out.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Brother Chen,\" a Martial Artist pointed at Kevin and said, \"The way he looks at you, he wants to tear you apart.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Kevin nearly died of fright when he heard this.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Is that so?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Chen Fan turned around with a half-smile.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"I saw it too, Brother Chen. The way he looks at you is full of resentment. He must hate you very much,\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Shen Si nodded.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"No, I really don’t,\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Kevin regretted deeply.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He hadn’t expected that even in his miserable state, these Yan Country people would still target him.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"So you do want to kill me after all,\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Chen Fan sighed lightly, \"You know, I was actually thinking of letting you go.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Shen Si and a few others tried hard to suppress their rising smiles.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"No, please don’t kill us,\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>someone panicked and kept begging, \"Please, let us go. We’ve already given you all the valuable things we had, haven’t we?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Yes, we really haven’t hidden anything,\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Please, spare us. We are willing to be your friends,\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"If you think it’s still not enough, let us go back, and we can give you more.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The group kept begging.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>They were Feng Country people!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>How could they die such an aggrieved death here?\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>...\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>At the same time, two figures were quickly approaching from a distance.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>One had blond hair and blue eyes like Kevin and the others in the rainforest, but with sharp, wolf-like eyes.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The other had black hair and black eyes and seemed to be a Yan Country person.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The two were chatting and laughing.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Mr. John, I hope you can persuade more people in your Revival Association to support our Song Family in the upcoming Elder Council election a month from now,\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>said the middle-aged man with black hair, smiling obsequiously.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Ten years ago, a cataclysmic change occurred, bringing tremendous upheaval to Yan Country.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Now, the highest authority in Yan Country was the Elder Council, composed of five elders.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>All major decisions were made through discussions and votes by the five elders.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>For instance, the decision a few years ago to deploy countless nuclear bombs to eliminate the Beast Emperor Level Fierce Beast was made by the Elder Council.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Including the nationwide effort to cultivate three S-Class Awakeners.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>This showed the status of the elders.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>And how were the elders chosen?\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The answer was, from the Noble Families that controlled Yan Country.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Every three years, the Elder Council would go through a reshuffling.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The previous elders would step down and be replaced by newly appointed ones.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Of course, some elders could serve consecutive terms, but it was very rare.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The fourth Elder Council election was about to begin, and each Noble Family was vying for more support, both openly and covertly.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The Song Family, as one of the Noble Families controlling Yan Country, had only held a seat in the first Elder Council but failed to secure a spot in the subsequent two terms. As a result, they’ve faced considerable suppression and weakened power over the years, far inferior to other families.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Feng Country people had high social status and considerable power within Yan Country. If they could secure their support, the Song Family would gain a lot of leverage in the upcoming Elder Council election.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>If they could get strong support from the Revival Association, it would almost guarantee the Song Family a seat in the Elder Council.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>John, the blond man, smiled slightly upon hearing this and said, \"Song, you’re my friend. If I don’t support you, who would I support? However, persuading my friends is not an easy task.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Internally, Song Gang cursed the shamelessness of the other party.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The Feng Country people had established themselves in Yan Country.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The Song Family might not have played the biggest role, but they had exerted considerable effort, even making a few families their enemies for good.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Because those families believed in the saying, \"They who are not of our kin are sure to have different minds,\" and firmly opposed the entry of Feng Country people.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Although, in the end, the Feng Country people still came in.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Besides, every year, Song Family gave gifts worth millions of points to the Revival Association; this had been the case year after year.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Not to mention the personal gifts given to members of the Revival Association.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>For someone like John, the Song Family gave him gifts worth millions of points annually. Aggregating all miscellaneous expenses, the total reached two or three million.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>They hoped he would speak favorably for them within the Revival Association and garner some allies.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>However, this beast was never satisfied!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Despite his inner rage, Song Gang maintained a polite smile, \"Mr. John, rest assured. As long as you can secure more support for our Song Family, we will surely reward you handsomely.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Ha ha ha ha,\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>John laughed, giving a thumbs-up, \"Song, you really are a good man, I appreciate you.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"I appreciate Mr. John as well,\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Song Gang replied with a smile.\u003C\u002Fp>",1797,"2026-06-06T15:42:49.907Z",1,"novelbin.me","880388604e40f95e0e6aa4515c3a8df3dc02836ea26713ce396b401d2787e34d","high-martial-arts-invincible-starts-from-basic-a-chapter-455","high-martial-arts-invincible-starts-from-basic-a-chapter-453",808,"https:\u002F\u002Fnovelzhen.com\u002Fimages\u002Fcovers\u002Fhigh-martial-arts-invincible-starts-from-basic-a-cover.jpg"]
