Chapter 2191: Chapter 2288: Just as He Said (Second Update)
As the female guide brought out 120,000 superior true stones.
In an instant.
A perfectly stacked cube of superior true stones, three meters high and wide, appeared before everyone’s eyes.
Dazzling.
Superior true stones are milky white, containing extremely rich spiritual energy, with a divine charm that is incredibly brighter than diamonds.
With just this stack placed on the Twenty-first Layer, the entire floor was immediately illuminated.
It was simply an extremely glowing crystal lamp.
As the female guide took all 120,000 superior true stones out of the space ring, the Twenty-first Layer fell silent as if no one was there.
More than 100,000 martial cultivators had their thoughts, breathing, and even their heartbeats sealed, closing off all fluctuations of divine sense and qi.
Even Ying Jin became as if he were a stone man.
Ying Jin’s face was as red as liver.
He even felt as if his throat were suddenly severed, the air passing neither up nor down.
Stifled, extremely stifled.
Ye Zhi, on the other hand, shook her head bitterly, shaking it again and again...
She couldn’t bring out such a vast amount of superior true stones!
Although she was the daughter of a Sixth-rank power’s leader, she wasn’t the leader herself, which made a big difference.
She could only get superior true stones from her father.
A year, just 200,000 pieces.
After deducting her own cultivation expenses, how much could she really spend?
Throwing out 120,000 pieces at once was something she could never do!
Yet, Su Chen did it.
Su Chen, a martial cultivator from a Minor Thousand Worlds!
How long had it been since he came to the Grand Cosmos World?
She had been disappointed in Su Chen, thinking they were not in the same league anymore, thinking Su Chen had changed, and so on, how laughable she had been.
He was Su Chen.
A Su Chen who created numerous miracles.
A Su Chen who never fails to shock, never disappoints.
"Even if he hasn’t caught up in strength yet, with such immense wealth, it won’t take him long, especially with his terrifying talent. Perhaps in just two or three hundred years, he’ll catch up with, maybe even surpass me, yet he’ll still be under a thousand years old!" Ye Zhi muttered to herself, her heart complicated.
A monster, a peerless monster, ultimately terrifying.
"I need to work harder. Even if it won’t be a few hundred years before he surpasses me, my strength is currently greater than his, and I should maintain this for as long as possible," Ye Zhi resolved internally, being at the nine-layered peak of the Divine Lord Realm, almost at the Domain Lord level, while Su Chen’s strength might just be at the fourth or fifth level of the Divine Lord Realm, still a certain gap, if she worked hard enough, Su Chen would need hundreds of years to catch up, a few hundred years she’d be content with.
In the end, she once surpassed Su Chen, even if just for a mere few hundred years, right?
"Who exactly are you?" After several breaths, Ying Jin finally spoke, not a fool, since Su Chen could casually bring out 120,000 superior true stones, then Su Chen must be extraordinary. He suppressed his shame and asked.
A bit wary.
He wanted to know Su Chen’s background.
He had to know.
"Su Chen." Su Chen said indifferently, glancing at Ying Jin.
"Brother Su, where do you come from?" Ying Jin’s voice even had a hint of flattery.
Su Chen seemed to be even more of a tycoon than himself, a super-rich man.
Maybe, with a tremendous background.
Could he be from a direct lineage of a Fourth-rank power?
"Minor Thousand Worlds." Su Chen truthfully replied.
Nothing shameful about it, right?
A Minor Thousand World is just that.
Besides, he was proud of once being an Earthling, once from the Divine Martial Continent, from the Primordial Continent.
"Young Master Su must be joking." Ying Jin was once again stunned, after several breaths, managing a bitter smile, a person from the Minor Thousand Worlds? Haha... taking him for a fool?
Trash from the Minor Thousand Worlds, even 120,000 middle-grade true stones would be impossible to produce, let alone superior true stones!
Su Chen was joking, making a fool out of him, right?
Su Chen didn’t bother with Ying Jin any longer, he had said it, whether Ying Jin believed it or not, what did it matter to him?
Su Chen instead looked at the female guide who collapsed on the floor: "Shouldn’t you be handing me the two swords now?"
The money was paid.
Shouldn’t the items be given?
"Yes, yes, yes..." The female guide, only now, barely reacted, shakily stood up, still somewhat unsteady, always feeling her limbs were missing.
The female guide trembled as she went to retrieve two swords for Su Chen.
Ying Jin, however, spoke again, trying to confirm Su Chen’s background.
He really wanted to know.
He needed to know.
However, before he could speak, Ye Zhi spoke: "Su Chen indeed comes from a Minor Thousand World, and he hasn’t been here long."
She didn’t want to see Ying Jin continue to foolishly question Su Chen.
No matter what, Ying Jin came with her.
Although she loathed Ying Jin.
If Ying Jin kept acting like a fool, asking aimlessly, she, Ye Zhi, would also be embarrassed.
"Is that so?" Ying Jin’s eyes flickered, knowing Ye Zhi’s character clearly from her father, Ye Zhi does not lie, proud, and aloof, disdaining to lie.
So, since Ye Zhi said so.
Then it must be true.
This young man really came from a Minor Thousand World!
That explains it.
No wonder his strength was so weak!!!
The wariness and other emotions in Ying Jin’s heart vanished.
He instantly realized, since this young man came from a Minor Thousand World, he had no background, not a shred of it.
Strength was weak too.
Nothing at all.
The reason for being such a tycoon.
Even more tycoon than himself.
Is most likely because of some sudden fortunate encounter.
Only this possibility.
Otherwise, can you imagine a waste from the newly arrived Minor Thousand World having so much wealth overnight?
Only by fortune.
Fortune, like winning the lottery.
Hard to win the lottery.
But not entirely impossible.
A trace of resentment, jealousy, and greed flashed deep in Ying Jin’s eyes.
Resentment because Su Chen made him lose face incredibly.
Like a fool, he was slapped down, his face swollen.
Jealousy because Su Chen as a tycoon, even more so than him, Ying Jin, who is famously wealthy, yet less than Su Chen, why? A waste from a Minor Thousand World, does he deserve it?
As for greed, it’s because he thinks since he got some fortunate encounter, casually taking out 120,000 superior true stones without heartache, then perhaps Su Chen has even more wealth, if he could obtain it? Though Ying Jin has money, the Ying Family has money, no one ever feels too rich, right? His heart burned hotly, already thinking, how to kill Su Chen.
