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

Hongwu, clad in armor and wielding a divine spear, descended from the sky, accompanied by a 20-person maintenance team.

"This is the Starshine Guild camp! No fighting is allowed. If you want to fight, do so outside the camp. Now, immediately withdraw your presence!"

After speaking, he released his aura as a sixth-level Grandmaster.

At the same time, a small silver dragon shadow emerged from the spear in his hand, coiling around the spear and slowly rotating, occasionally letting out a low roar, just like a living dragon.

An intense pressure emanated from above!

The other factions around were immediately dumbfounded.

Artifact!

An absolute godsend!

"Such an overwhelming sense of oppression, is this some kind of divine artifact?!"

"Just releasing a small amount of power has such a deterrent effect, that's amazing!"

"Wait, this isn't right. I remember this person was a freshman, how come... he's a Grandmaster?!"

"Wow, I didn't even notice! He's only been in school for half a year! What kind of magic potion has he been taking?!"

In a single sentence, he immediately drew everyone's attention to Hongwu's unusually high level of strength.

Everyone knows that, regardless of the school, only senior students who are about to graduate have the potential to become Grandmasters, and even then, only the most talented and outstanding students can achieve this!

To think you can reach that level during your freshman year is simply wishful thinking.

Unfortunately, reality is right in front of everyone.

At this moment, a quick-witted person suddenly muttered to themselves:

"I heard that the president of the Star Glory Society has already reached the Martial King realm... Could it be that his method for rapidly advancing in realm... can be shared with others?"

Upon hearing this, everyone gasped in shock.

If that's true, wouldn't that mean students at Dragon Soul University can rapidly improve their cultivation level?!

If they continue cultivating at Hongwu's pace, they will quickly surpass all schools and ascend to the top spot in a very short time.

It shocked the whole world!

As if in response to them, the twenty maintenance team members simultaneously displayed their imposing presence.

Twenty auras of martial arts masters at the eighth or ninth level soared into the sky!

This once again elicited gasps of surprise.

"It really is true!"

"I know some of them; they were only at the Martial Artist realm a few months ago. It's impossible for them to have advanced an entire major realm so quickly!"

"They definitely have a way to quickly improve their strength!"

"Damn it, these guys are really tight-lipped! We had no idea!"

At this moment, another student asked timidly:

"Won't such a rapid improvement have any side effects?"

Everyone looked at him with disdain.

brother?

So what if there are aftereffects?

So what if it costs me my lifespan?

How many people can't even reach the level of a Grandmaster in their entire lives, let alone a Martial King!

If it could make them Martial Kings, they would be willing to sacrifice ninety percent of their lifespan!

In the field.

Hongwu stared at Consort Xing and Wan'er.

He had met both women before and knew they were the flagships of the other two major academies, so his tone wasn't very strict at this moment.

"Do you have any more questions? If not, you can leave now."

Upon hearing this, the two women slowly withdrew their auras, nodded to Hongwu, and turned to walk away in different directions.

……

at the same time.

Inside the meeting room.

Ye Chen was chatting with many Martial Kings and Wei Feng.

With an hour to go before the auction begins, they can also have a chance to sample the fruits that are a specialty of the Starry Night Society.

To entertain these gentlemen, Ye Chen spent tens of millions to buy these rare items from the mall.

The taste is undoubtedly excellent, and the effects are top-notch.

It's either about extending lifespan, raising one's cultivation level, or reshaping meridians and strengthening the body's foundation.

There are no ordinary items anyway.

These bosses were eating with such gusto, they were practically eating it all the time.

Wei Feng sat at the head of the conference table.

Beside him were Ye Chen and Lei Bing.

"Brother Lei, you should eat too."

"Hehehe, I won't eat it. I've never really paid much attention to fruit since I was little."

"Then let's try two."

As he spoke, Ye Chen tossed a pink fruit over.

Lei Bing carefully wiped it clean, sang a few lines, and his eyes immediately lit up.

Ye Chen's lips curled up, and he turned to look at Wei Feng.

"Senior, do you like the taste of these dishes?"

"good."

Wei Feng nodded as he ate.

"Um... there's something I'd like to ask you."

"explain."

"It's about Li Na...her situation..."

"Just tell me what you want to do."

"Hehe, you know me best."

Ye Chen smiled and continued:

Actually, I quite like this person.

"You want to help her?"

"Hmm... I have that idea. It would be a waste to lock up an S-class superhuman."

"By the way, when are you going to give me the second batch of compounds?"

"Well...it'll be quick!"

"Hmm... In that case, let her redeem herself through meritorious service."

"Haha, great! Do you have any suitable opportunities?"

Upon hearing this, Wei Feng stopped eating fruit and pondered for a while.

He spoke slowly after a moment:

"Let him go and quell the rebellions in a few of our vassal states."

"Suppressing a rebellion? Is our vassal state in turmoil?"

"You should pay more attention to the international situation. Do you think everywhere is as peaceful as our country? Apart from us and a few other countries like the United States, the United Kingdom, and the United States, more than a hundred countries around the world are currently in turmoil. Especially after the East Coast incident, a large number of Martial Kings in the West died, and those countries that lost their only pillar have even begun to rebel. Grandmasters and Great Grandmasters have risen up to create their own forces, and they seem to be planning to divide up national territories."

"Does the United States not care?"

"Them? They're too busy taking care of themselves."

"Oh...wouldn't it be dangerous to send Li Na to those places?"

"How can she gain merit without facing danger? Besides, our vassal states are in a much better situation than the Western vassal states. If she goes there, she will at most kill some rebels, the strongest of whom will be no more than a grandmaster. She can handle that."

"Oh, I see. That's fine then."

"Hmph, you brat, if Li Na really can redeem herself and come back, she'll just go back to the army anyway. What are you after?"

"Hey, just to put my mind at ease. Besides, how do you know she'll definitely go back to the army? What if she ends up with me?"

"Hehehe, then let's see what you're capable of."

……

After a while.

The auction was scheduled to begin in fifteen minutes.

Ye Chen led Wei Feng and dozens of Martial Kings to the auction house.

The auction venue was no longer the temporary auction stage it once was; it had become a complete indoor building, complete with a dome, murals, white chandeliers, and bright spotlights.

Moreover, the area has been expanded four times!

In addition to adding VIP auction rooms on the second floor, the services offered at large-scale auctions have also been improved.

Not only can everyone enjoy one-on-one feeding, but even the bidding can be done by the beautiful waitresses.

Absolutely thoughtful!

Of course, this is a proper place and we do not accept excessive requests.

On the first floor, the stands that could originally accommodate several thousand people have now been increased to ten thousand!

Even if all the students from the three universities come, there will still be a place to sit!

As the lights gradually dimmed.

Three spotlights shone down.

Ye Chen appeared on the elaborately decorated auction stage.

"Damn it, my fellow spies, men and women!"

"The Second Starlight Auction has officially begun!"

"First of all, please allow me to express my gratitude for everyone's presence. I, Ye Chen, will remember all your kindness!"

"Alright, enough with the pleasantries, let's get straight to the point!"
