Call me trash? I can instantly kill an S-level talent with just one yuan!

After a while.

Just as the high temperature had predicted, the spatial rift repaired itself.

With the last Thousand Beast dying at Hongwu's hands, the turmoil finally subsided.

Everyone breathed a sigh of relief.

What followed was overwhelming anger.

"Lord Gao, the Angel Clan harbors wolfish ambitions! They have committed such heinous acts within our country's borders; an explanation is demanded!"

"Is demanding an explanation enough? They must pay the price!"

"Indeed, if we hadn't coincidentally gathered here, who knows what disaster would have ensued. They must give us an explanation!"

"Yeah, do you really think we're easy to bully?"

"alright."

Wen Da raised his hand slightly, his expression calm. "Don't worry, everyone. I have reported this matter to the president. It will not end here. The association will announce any further developments."

Upon hearing what the high temperature said, everyone shut their mouths.

Afterwards, he bowed to the high temperature and said goodbye to the others before leaving.

……

the other side.

Hongwu cupped his hands in greeting to Lin Xiao, then looked at Ye Chen, "I'll head back now. Let's arrange a time to meet up in a couple of days."

"Okay, go ahead. You've been working hard on things at the association lately. I'll make it up to you after this busy period."

Hongwu was deeply moved.

Sure enough, Ye Chen could see his efforts, and he patted his chest vigorously.

"Don't worry, leave it to me!"

"it is good."

After watching Hongwu leave, Ye Chen gave some instructions to the three women and then left with Lin Xiao and Lin Feiyu.

The three walked until they reached a secret room before stopping.

The room, which was several dozen square meters in size, was now full of people.

The three major university representatives are Dragon Soul, Yaohua, and Black Star.

The six top families are: Xuanyuan, Zhuge, Lin, Hong, Liu, and Liu.

In addition to the National Martial Arts Association.

Everyone's here!

Lin Xiao shielded Ye Chen behind him and did not introduce him further.

This time, Lin Xiao was still in charge of the rendezvous. Ye Chen's presence was only to provide the former with key information, such as how much stock could be shipped and the price.

Once you reach the Martial Artist realm, you can transmit your voice to others without fear of being discovered.

"Oh, young friend Ye has arrived too."

One of the people who had greeted Ye Chen during the Thousand Beast Crisis laughed.

Ye Chen looked over and saw that it was the number one ranked Xuanyuan family—Xuanyuan Che.

He bowed slightly, smiled, and nodded as a greeting.

Hong Ba nodded at him.

Ye Chen responded to each of them.

Some people looked at him with hostility; they were from the Liu and Liu families.

Ye Chen rolled his eyes at them, pretending not to see them.

"Alright, let's get down to business. Old Lin, what's the matter that you've gathered everyone here?" The old man from the Zhuge family spoke first.

Lin Xiao stepped forward with a smile, his tone calm, "I have a business deal to discuss with you all."

"What kind of deal?" Hong Ba asked, puzzled.

Lin Xiao surveyed the entire scene.

"Does anyone still have any thoughts on the Hongyu Fruit?"

"What, you still have some?"

"Yes! And a lot of them!"

"And the price?"

Lin Xiao smiled.

"Well, hehe, naturally we won't use the auction price as the standard."

"Hmph, at least you have a conscience."

"Two billion each, I'll take ten."

"I'll take five."

"Me too..."

"Wait a moment!"

Lin Xiao suddenly spoke up, a smile tugging at his old face, "Everyone, have you misunderstood?"

"Old Lin, just say what you mean directly, don't beat around the bush." ​​The old man from the martial arts association said helplessly.

Lin Xiao's expression remained unchanged. "What I mean is... forty billion per coin!"

"What?!"

"Are you crazy? The auction only went for 3.6 billion, and you're going to take 4 billion from us?!"

"You dare to price something like this just because you sold some good stuff a few days ago, without even verifying its authenticity?!"

"Hey, everyone, don't rush to refute this. Let's test it out," Lin Xiao laughed. "Didn't those three end up with A-Che? Why don't we just eat one right here and find out?"

As soon as these words were spoken, everyone looked at Xuanyuan Che.

The old man shook his head and smiled wryly, "You little rascal, you've been waiting for me here."

"Okay, let's take the test."

After saying that, he waved his hand and had the junior behind him take out a luminous jade fruit.

His Xuanyuan family is not short of money; even if they are ruined, it will only amount to a few billion, a drop in the ocean.

"My nephew has an S-rank talent—Shockwave. He's used several resources to enhance his talent before, but he's probably still halfway to SS rank. Let him give it a try."

"Can."

"Let's get started."

The group of old monsters nodded in agreement.

The young man from the Xuanyuan family didn't waste any time and swallowed the Hongyu Fruit in just a few bites in front of everyone.

Then, he sat cross-legged and began to circulate and digest energy.

But as soon as he got into the zone, his expression changed instantly.

"This is……!!!"

He quickly closed his eyes and focused all his energy on activating his talent.

The surging energy rushed into his limbs and bones, nourishing his bones and cleansing his meridians along the way, and excavating the power of his talent from the cellular level!

Just a few minutes.

A powerful aura suddenly rose from his body.

The Grandmaster Level 3 has become the Grandmaster Level 4!

Everyone was stunned.

This... also comes with the added benefit of raising one's cultivation level? ???

The upgrade is not over yet.

Just as the young man's breathing had calmed down slightly, the entire room suddenly began to shake violently.

No, it's not the room that's vibrating, it's the air that's vibrating!

The residual force that had just emanated was already beginning to affect the surrounding environment!

This is definitely not something that an S-class talent could achieve!

Its power is still increasing.

"Bang!"

"Bang!"

"Bang!"

One teacup after another shattered on the table. Luckily, the room had no windows, otherwise it would have been broken as well.

"This is……!"

Xuanyuan Che's expression finally changed.

He knew his nephew's level best. Before this, he would never have been able to shatter surrounding objects with just the residual power. At the very least, he would have needed to actively release his talent over a small area to achieve this.

In other words, S really did become SS!

moment.

All the power gradually subsided and returned to the youth's body.

He slowly opened his eyes.

Facing the anxious gazes of everyone, the young man slowly stood up.

He didn't say anything to explain, but instead slowly clenched his right hand.

"Click!"

A crisp cracking sound rang out.

A crack had appeared in the space in the young man's palm!

"hiss!"

Everyone gasped in shock.

The hallmark ability of SS-level tremors—Shattering Space!

At that moment, everyone's gaze towards Hong Yuguo changed.

The young man withdrew his talent, turned to face his elders, and said calmly without hiding anything, "Uncle, my talent has been raised to the upper half of SS level, and I'm still about two-thirds away from SSS level. Moreover, with the increase in my realm, my meridians have become much smoother."

"Haha, great!"

Xuanyuan Che was overjoyed. "Quick, eat those two Hongyu Fruits too!"

The young man was taken aback. "Really... all for me? Not leaving anything for your sister?"

Before Xuanyuan Che could even speak, the other old men were already getting anxious.

"Stop talking nonsense, just eat what I tell you to eat!"

"Hurry up, you're driving me crazy!"

"Three coins are less than 10 billion, and you're already feeling the pinch? Hurry up!"

The young man gave a wry smile. "Fine."

Then, he decisively took out the remaining two Hongyu Fruits and swallowed them one by one.

Everyone held their breath.

Ye Chen stood in the corner, watching this scene with a smile.

The effects of the Hongyu Fruit might decrease later, but raising this guy to SSS level shouldn't be a problem.

This time, the doors to trade have been completely opened!
