The Supreme Martial King Shocking All Realms - Chapter 644
Chapter 644: Chapter 641: Comparing Spirit Stones?_1
It’s simple—aren’t you arrogant? Aren’t you overbearing? Don’t you think others are too poor?
Now, Yang Chen wanted to see how Zhang Huafeng would react. Zhang had raised the price so high, increasing it by ten each time. Now, Yang Chen jumped the price directly from fifty to one hundred Top-grade Spirit Stones.
Such an increase shocked everyone.
How to describe it?
At first, Yang Chen seemed like a gentle little rabbit, raising the price by one Top-grade Spirit Stone at a time. Suddenly, Yang Chen jumped from one Top-grade Spirit Stone to fifty! This unexpected change caught everyone off guard. Some even thought if Yang Chen had gone mad and was bidding randomly.
“Does Yang Chen have that many Spirit Stones?”
“Exactly!”
“He couldn’t be just throwing out random bids, could he?”
Zhang Huafeng also shouted, “Yang Chen, I can understand your idea of bidding one hundred Top-grade Spirit Stones. It seems that people like you, who have risen from obscurity to become geniuses, are eager to feel equal to those in higher circles. But reality is always cruel.”
At this moment, Elder Hua Yun coughed twice. It’s difficult for an ordinary martial artist to come up with one hundred Top-grade Spirit Stones, let alone a few dozen.
This made Elder Hua Yun say, “Yang Chen, my young friend, have you considered your financial situation when bidding this price? Can you afford one hundred Spirit Stones?”
“Elder Hua Yun, if I can’t produce the same amount of Spirit Stones at the end of the auction, I won’t be able to leave this auction, right?” Yang Chen said slowly.
“Of course,” Elder Hua Yun replied.
“In that case, what are you worried about, Elder Hua Yun?” Yang Chen kindly said.
Elder Hual Yun nodded his head. Yang Chen had spoken so convincingly, what was there for him to worry about?
In the past, there were some who had bid until they were dizzy and ended up bidding beyond their means. They all had to pay a price, or else people would take the Yellow Sand Auction for granted, and no one would come to their auction!
“Zhang Huafeng, what about you? Can you raise the price even higher?” Elder Hua Yun looked at Zhang Huafeng.
Zhang Huafeng’s hands were trembling. He wasn’t really interested in the stick, but genuinely did it to teach Yang Chen a lesson. He hadn’t expected that he would encounter someone even more ruthless than himself. When he bid fifty, Yang Chen immediately countered with one hundred Spirit Stones.
Isn’t this playing for keeps?
But how could Zhang Huafeng just concede like that?
Zhang Huafeng shouted, “One hundred and ten!”
“One hundred and fifty!” Yang Chen countered as soon as Zhang Huafeng finished speaking.
The price increased again, making it unbelievable.
Everyone present was stunned.
At this point, they were actually quite delighted. In any case, Yang Chen’s actions had shocked Zhang Huafeng. Seeing Zhang Huafeng in such an embarrassing situation, everyone felt a little bit delighted. After all, Zhang Huafeng never showed this expression in ordinary days.
“You!” Zhang Huafeng was completely flustered.
Yang Chen’s voice was ice-cold: “Brother Zhang, you seemed to mention the word ‘poor’ just now. I don’t have a deep understanding of this word. Could you explain to me what it means to be poor?”
This was a slap in the face!
Zhang Huafeng felt his face burning with pain, as if someone had slapped him hard.
Yang Chen was using his own method to retaliate against him.
Just a moment ago, he had called Yang Chen poor. But what did Yang Chen do next? He raised the price so high that Zhang Huafeng was at a loss. He jumped to one hundred and then to one hundred and fifty in one breath, leaving Zhang Huafeng clueless.
Zhang Huafeng now wanted to continue bidding against Yang Chen, but he didn’t have enough Top-grade Spirit Stones.
Although he was a young noble, his extravagance had its limits. His Master had given him just over a hundred Top-grade Spirit Stones, which should be more than enough to intimidate others, but who would have thought that it wouldn’t be enough for Yang Chen?
“Brother Zhang, what do you say? Earlier, you seemed to ridicule me for not bidding more generously. Now, I will allow you to add just one more Spirit Stone. As long as you add one more, I will let the stick go, and it will be yours,” Yang Chen said with a smile.
This smile undoubtedly became the source of Zhang Huafeng’s humiliation and anger. Grinding his teeth, he said, “Surnamed Yang, very well, I’ll teach you the price of provoking me. I hope you can afford one hundred and fifty Top-grade Spirit Stones. Otherwise, even if the Yellow Sand Auction hasn’t scrapped you, I’ll make you pay! Fine, I don’t want this stick anymore!”
Zhang Huafeng left behind a sentence full of bravado, but it drew more ridicule from the others.
Obviously, Zhang Huafeng had lost to Yang Chen in the bidding.
“It’s rare to see Young Master Zhang lose.”
“Haha, indeed, it’s the first time!”
“Shh, lower your voice.”
“Since no one else is bidding, this mysterious stick will be awarded to Yang Chen, our young friend, at the final price of one hundred and fifty Top-grade Spirit Stones. Hopefully, after the auction ends, Yang Chen can come up with the same amount of Top-grade Spirit Stones to exchange for this treasure!” Elder Hua Yun’s words were intentional, placing emphasis on the four words ‘Top-grade Spirit Stones.’
Yang Chen understood Elder Hua Yun’s meaning; the other party clearly wanted him to prepare the Spirit Stones.
Elder Hua Yun still didn’t believe that Yang Chen could come up with such a large number of Spirit Stones.
This made Yang Chen shrug. Indeed, with his own wealth, it would be difficult to gather that many. Even if he were an Alchemy Master, it would be in vain. This was because the Sect had a group of people earning Spirit Stones, while he was just one person.
No matter how high his skill was, he could not possibly have wealth equal to an entire Sect. The term ‘rich enough to rival a country’ was hard to achieve.
However, while his Spirit Stones were limited, the Green Lotus Sect was different. The Green Lotus Sect was one of the largest sects in the Thirty-six Eastern Counties. When it came to Spirit Stones, not only Zhang Huafeng but even his Master would have to admit defeat. And Yang Chen went directly to the Green Lotus Sect to borrow the Spirit Stones.
Fortunately, Li Ruoxiang was generous enough to openly say, “Borrow as much as you want and compete with Zhang Huafeng.” So Yang Chen spent lavishly, having his taste of being a young noble.
The feeling was quite refreshing, completely scaring Zhang Huafeng.
However, it was a pity that these one hundred-plus Top-grade Spirit Stones needed to be repaid, and repaying them would prove difficult.
Of course, Yang Chen was confident that he could repay this small amount of one hundred-plus Top-grade Spirit Stones. Otherwise, he wouldn’t have been so extravagant. The reason he dared to be so extravagant was that he had confidence in earning back that much.
Now, what Yang Chen cared about the most was not the issue of Spirit Stones, but… that mysterious stick!
