I Have the Alchemy Emperor in My Head - Chapter 498

Chapter 498: Chu Yunfan? He’s Nothing but a Clown!

Everyone was dumbfounded, especially the young man who had chastised Chu Yunfan earlier. He now felt so embarrassed. He had thought that Chu Yunfan was just an average student and did not look like he had a profound cultivation base.

The youth had wanted to make Chu Yunfan suffer a little. But after witnessing what happened, he finally knew what it meant to be a frog at the bottom of a well.

After passing the gravity plate, Chu Yunfan estimated that the gravity of this plate had roughly doubled. Those with slightly weaker cultivation bases would not be able to endure it. Even Sha Peng and the others would probably find it difficult to reach the end. Unless one had a cultivation base of the Acquired fourth or fifth level, it would be possible for them to endure the double gravity.

But to Chu Yunfan, it was not a difficult matter at all.

At this moment, a man in a black suit stood out from the crowd. He said respectfully, “Sir, you have successfully passed Wuwei’s test. Please present to us your terminal. We will transfer one million into your personal account right now.”

Although Chu Yunfan was of small stature, the man did not dare to show the slightest disrespect. He had seen Chu Yunfan easily pass the gravity plate test and knew what it meant. Especially with Chu Yunfan’s age, his future was even more promising. The man did not dare to have the slightest intention of offending him.

Beep!

Chu Yunfan stretched out the terminal on his wrist. After scanning it, a message popped up shortly after. One million Federation Coins were transferred into Chu Yunfan’s account.

Chu Yunfan was surprised that Wuwei did things in such a straightforward manner. It was not sloppy in the slightest. It was indeed worthy of its reputation as one of the three largest financial companies in the Federation.

After receiving the money, Chu Yunfan was about to leave when the man in the black suit hurriedly said, “Sir, our young master has invited you to come and have a chat.”

“Your Young Master?” Chu Yunfan knew that Wuwei was a large gathering of forces. In every generation, many young masters would appear and compete with each other. The most powerful one among them became the next president of Wuwei, while others would often become the elders of Wuwei who held real power and influence.

This method was commonly used by various large organizations. For example, the next clan leader of the Chu family would be Chu Haoyue. Although it was not a fact set in stone yet, without any big incident, there would be no deviation. Chu Haoyue was the strongest person in the current generation of the Chu family. Currently, there was no one else that could surpass him.

Back then, Chu Haoyue had competed with many other competitors before he finally managed to stand out. The end result should not be much different.

“Are they only inviting only me, or are they inviting all those who passed the gravity plate?” Chu Yunfan asked.

“All those who make it past the gravity plate will be invited. Our young master has always been magnanimous and is willing to make friends with everyone in the world. Would you extend to us the honor of your presence, sir?” the man in a black suit replied.

Chu Yunfan pondered for a moment. There was still some time before his appointment with Tang Wentian. It would be good for him to meet the young master of Wuwei right now. Since the young master did not have any ill intentions, it would be good for Chu Yunfan to make more connections.

Chu Yunfan was led by the man in the black suit to a private clubhouse at the center of the reception area. The clubhouse was extremely hidden and there were even hidden formations operating in the surroundings. If it was not for someone leading the way, it would be very difficult for ordinary people to discover it.

After entering the clubhouse, Chu Yunfan felt that he had entered an extremely modern private club filled with all sorts of luxurious decorations.

It was a rather large hall and the decorations inside it were magnificent. All sorts of food were laid out. From the eight major cuisines of ancient times to Western cuisine to even Japanese cuisine.

At this moment, there were already about a dozen people gathered in the clubhouse. They were chatting and laughing, appearing quite relaxed. These people looked to be about in their twenties. All of them were dressed luxuriously, giving off unspeakably powerful airs about them. When they saw Chu Yunfan enter, they glanced at him a few times before they stopped paying attention and continued chatting amongst themselves.

Chu Yunfan originally had no intention of getting close to these people, but their words caught his attention.

“Jiang Yunfei, I didn’t expect you to have improved so much after just a year. You’re only a sophomore and you’re already at the fifth level of the Acquired Stage,” someone said.

Everyone turned to look at a certain young man. He was tall and slender and looked quite handsome.

Seeing everyone’s gazes turned to him, this young man’s face revealed a proud expression as he said, “You flatter me too much.”

“This rate of progress is pretty impressive. At this rate, you’ll reach the Innate Stage within ten years at the latest,” that person continued to say.

“I heard that Jiang Pengfei from your family is also coming out for the Dao Conference. Is that true?” a beautiful woman asked. Her words immediately attracted the attention of all the other women. The name Jiang Pengfei was clearly quite attractive to them.

“Indeed he is,” Jiang Yunfei said, “He’s one of the top contenders amongst this year’s freshmen. Naturally, he’s determined to become the champion of the Dao Conference.”

Suddenly, a young man who looked about eighteen said, “I heard a student from Federation University say that Jiang Pengfei was defeated by someone. That person was named Chu Yunfan, right?”

At the mention of this name, a gloomy expression appeared on Jiang Yunfei’s face. He said, “That was just an accident. Chu Yunfan took advantage of Jiang Pengfei’s unprepared state to defeat him. He won’t be so lucky this time. Jiang Pengfei will find this Chu Yunfan and avenge his previous humiliation. He might even kill him.”

Jiang Yunfei did not bother mincing his words.

“Chu Yunfan is just an insignificant clown. He should be grateful to our family’s junior leader, Jiang Lingxiao, for being able to live well. If not for the so-called one-year agreement with Jiang Lingxiao, he would already be a dead man by now,” Jiang Yunfei continued, “That kid is arrogant. If I knew where he was, I would teach him a lesson on behalf of Jiang Lingxiao. Jiang Lingxiao can’t bully the weak, but I don’t have such concerns.”
