Chapter 643: Chapter 640: Who’s Poor?_1
Upon hearing that someone dared to compete with Zhang Huafeng for an item, the atmosphere instantly became heated.
“Wow, what’s going on? Someone has the guts to compete with Zhang Huafeng?”
“Is this little guy not afraid of death? He dares to mess with Zhang Huafeng and his possessions?”
People turned their attention and focused on Yang Chen, who was bidding.
Yang Chen was initially low-key. He didn’t speak much or draw attention to himself, so very few people noticed him. He sat in a corner, and it was only now that everyone could see him clearly. And now that everyone’s attention was on him, they recognized his status.
“It’s Yang Chen.”
“The number one genius of the Thirty-six Eastern Counties.”
“Yang Chen wants to bid for this stick.”
“Haha, this will be interesting – two famous figures competing. Our Eastern Number One Genius is going to compete with Zhang Huafeng for this item.”
“However, in my opinion, this Yang Chen is courting death. He comes from Beishan Main City, a place that doesn’t even have the resources for the Yellow Sand Auction. Yang Chen is relying on that, hehe, if he offends Zhang Huafeng, what good will come to him when his master gets angry?”
“I agree. Yang Chen might have the Title of Eastern First Genius, but has it made him arrogant and gotten to his head? He has no power or influence, just a title that can’t bring him anything substantial.”
Zhang Huafeng heard someone talking and subconsciously looked over, only to laugh coldly when he saw Yang Chen: “The Eastern First Genius? What a piece of shit. A bumpkin like you dares to compete with me, Zhang Huafeng? It seems I’ve been too low-key these years and people no longer take me seriously.”
Before, even disciples from the Major Sects would behave respectfully when they met him.
It was because his master was a famously crazy martial artist, with a more intimidating aura than Old man Huayun.
This was also the reason why many forces didn’t want to provoke him and why no one dared to provoke him.
Now that Yang Chen dared to compete with him openly, Zhang Huafeng sneered, “I’m your fellow Yang Chen. Are you a lonely man with enough Spirit Stones to compete with this Young Master?”
Originally, Yang Chen just wanted to engage in a fair bidding. However, upon hearing Zhang Huafeng’s words, the corner of his mouth raised, and he replied, “Alright, since Brother Zhang is so interested, I shall accompany you to the end.”
“Alright, let’s play.” Zhang Huafeng sneered.
A bumpkin from Beishan Main City dares to compete with him in bidding? He’s truly ignorant and unaware of the value of Spirit Stones.
If that’s the case, he might as well reluctantly teach the other party a lesson!
“Twenty Spirit Stones!” Zhang Huafeng shouted.
He didn’t plan to use so many Spirit Stones originally. He was just driven by curiosity for the stick and wanted to buy it for a small price.
For him, dozens of Supreme Grade Spirit Stones truly were a small amount. His master was a powerful martial artist in the Earth Martial Realm, and he was his master’s beloved disciple with the same talent. This was also the reason why his master cherished him, so he could always be carefree with Spirit Stones.
For this auction, his master had specially given him enough Top-grade Spirit Stones to use.
Yang Chen was genuinely scared by Zhang Huafeng’s aggressive bidding, which started at twenty Spirit Stones.
He only had over a dozen Top-grade Spirit Stones, so how could he have more?
This caused Yang Chen’s expression to be somewhat unnatural.
Zhang Huafeng noticed this and disdainfully said, “What’s the matter, Brother Yang Chen? It seems that you’re running short of Spirit Stones, is that it?”
Seeing that Yang Chen didn’t respond, people began to make sarcastic remarks.
“Tsk tsk, looking at the situation, Yang Chen can’t really compete with Zhang Huafeng when it comes to financial strength. They’re not even in the same league. Zhang Huafeng only called out one price and Yang Chen was silenced.”
“There’s no other way. How many Supreme Grade Spirit Stones can Yang Chen, who is from Beishan Main City, have?”
It was obvious that everyone regarded Yang Chen as someone from Beishan Main City now.
At the moment, Yang Chen was in a difficult predicament with everyone’s gossiping.
Was he really going to swallow his pride and ask someone to lend him some?
From the looks of it, he needed to obtain this stick at all costs. This made him take a deep breath and said, “Twenty-one Top-grade Spirit Stones.”
“Thirty Top-grade Spirit Stones!” Zhang Huafeng said emotionlessly, “Why are you bothering to compete if you’re this poor? Haha, raising the price by just one Spirit Stone, you might as well just find a place to die embarrassedly, you’re a disgrace!”
Zhang Huafeng’s words were utterly merciless.
Being the Eastern Number One Genius was indeed not bad, however, unfortunately, there have been many such geniuses. But out of them, how many entered the Earthly Martial Realm? How many reached the peak of the Earth Martial Realm?
Compared with his master, these geniuses were far behind.
Yang Chen, hearing Zhang Huafeng’s ridicule, couldn’t help but feel angry.
His voice was chillingly cold but calm, replying, “Thirty-one Top-grade Spirit Stones!”
As they watched the two compete, the people from the Yellow Sand Auction were delighted. The original price of the stick was worth just seven Top-grade Spirit Stones, but now it had skyrocketed to thirty and was still increasing, with no sign of stopping. Who wouldn’t be happy about this?
“Forty Top-grade Spirit Stones!” Zhang Huafeng maintained his cavalier attitude.
Yang Chen remained calm, “Forty-one Top-grade Spirit Stones!”
“Fifty Top-grade Spirit Stones.” Zhang Huafeng snorted coldly, “Yang Chen, as I’ve told you, if I were you, I would just find a place to die. You really don’t have Spirit Stones, I can lend you some, haha.”
Hearing this, many loose cultivators laughed as well, enjoying the show beside them.
In their eyes, watching the embarrassment of the Eastern Number One Genius was a very enjoyable thing.
Yang Chen smiled, feeling quite provoked by this situation.
He was angry.
“Do you think fifty Top-grade Spirit Stones is a lot?” Yang Chen said slowly.
“What, you can afford higher? Or are you going to add just one more Spirit Stone again?” Zhang Huafeng asked disdainfully.
Yang Chen twisted his neck, then, under the astonished gaze of everyone, cried out, “One hundred Top-grade Spirit Stones!”
“What?!”
“One hundred Top-grade Spirit Stones!”
“Yang Chen is crazy!”
“Does he have that many Spirit Stones? He’s bidding like this!”
Zhang Huafeng was also startled, angrily saying, “Yang Chen, do you have that many Top-grade Spirit Stones?”
“You don’t need to worry about that. Brother Zhang, can you offer a higher price?” Yang Chen spoke with a firm voice.
