As soon as Lin Chen spoke, Ning Hao's face turned as black as a pot bottom.
Back when testing talents, he challenged Lin Chen and ended up in a terrible defeat. Lin Chen even bluntly called him a waste. Now Lin Chen uttered this word again, causing his anger to surge up; old and new grievances piled up. He wished he could devour Lin Chen alive to relieve his anger.
"Lin Chen! You're looking for death! Trash that ca from a lower realm, do you really think a few days of cultivation allows you to compete with ?"
"Ha, at least I'm stronger than you! The so-called upper realm genius was still trampled by !"
"Hm, that was just luck, and soon you'll know the vast gap between us!"
As soon as Ning Hao finished speaking, he suddenly stepped forward, releasing the aura of Divine Sense Stage Four, then struck toward Lin Chen's chest with a palm.
Red Fla Palm!
Streaks of red divine energy wrapped around his fist, making him seem quite impressive, and the palm attacked swiftly.
Upon seeing this, a cold smile appeared on Lin Chen's lips. Imdiately, without any visible action, divine energy surged, and his originally wide sleeves suddenly turned as hard as iron before fiercely striking at Ning Hao's palm!
"Bang!"
A muffled sound echoed, and Lin Chen's sleeves returned to their soft, wide appearance, while Ning Hao retreated several steps continuously until a sinister man stepped forward to support him. Even then, he was flushed red, evidently having his ridians disrupted by the divine energy, causing his vital energy flow to stagnate.
Though both of their cultivation levels were Divine Sense Stage Four, the difference between them was substantial. Lin Chen's cultivation had reached the peak of Divine Sense Stage Four, while Ning Hao was likely at mid-stage at most. As for the purity of divine energy, the explosion, and usage, they could hardly be compared to Lin Chen's.
Ning Hao glared angrily at Lin Chen, gasping repeatedly but unable to speak.
At this ti, the staff of Treasures Pavilion noticed the commotion here, and an old man with a goatee walked over with a smile.
"Dear guests, I go by the surna Wang and I'm the official of Treasures Pavilion. What can I help you with?"
Zhao Xiaohua was about to speak, but Ning Hao seized the chance to say:
"Officer Wang, we have chosen a divine skill, but they tried to snatch it away."
"Nonsense!"
Zhao Xiaowen imdiately retorted, her young face flushed with anger.
"We clearly saw it first, whereas you suddenly ca to snatch it!"
The goateed old man glanced at the group, his mind clear, instantly understanding the gist: two pretty young girls daring to snatch the divine skill ant for a Divine Sense Stage Six man?
He coldly glanced at Wang Li and the sinister man, about to speak, when the sinister man intervened:
"Officer Wang, this Fire Phoenix Step is priced at thirty pieces of lower-grade divine crystals. I offer forty pieces!"
Seeing this, Ning Hao imdiately whispered:
"Senior Brother Feng Shichang!"
"Shut up!"
The sinister man, none other than Feng Shichang, interrupted Ning Hao and promptly said:
"Officer Wang, now can this Fire Phoenix Step be sold to us?"
Beside them, Zhao Xiaohua instantly said:
"No way! It cannot be sold to them; we clearly decided to buy it first!"
Hearing this, the goateed old man gave Zhao Xiaohua a bland look and said:
"Just words aren't evidence; who knows if you saw it first? If you genuinely want it, this custor offers forty divine crystals. If you offer more..."
"If you can bid higher, I'll give it up!"
Feng Shichang jumped in, making Zhao Xiaohua and her sister flush with anger. However, they had no solution; although they were elite outer disciples, they only got a few divine crystals per month, and since cultivation also requires divine crystals, they couldn't produce that many divine crystals. Hence, they could only angrily watch Wang Li and Feng Shichang, utterly helpless.
At this point, Lin Chen frowned. He had plenty of divine crystals in his Storage Ring, and he had two useless divine skills he found in a cave, dark attribute divine skills that would fetch many divine crystals if sold.
Just as he planned to speak, a clear voice sounded:
"Officer Wang, what's happening here?"
Hearing this, everyone turned to see a woman approaching. She was tall, marginally taller than Zhao Xiaohua. She wore a purple skirt that accentuated her seductive figure, graceful and charming, with her face obscured by a veil, preventing anyone from seeing her appearance. Yet, even with this, her brows suggested she was a devastating beauty!
Upon seeing the woman in the purple dress, Officer Wang imdiately bowed and said:
"Miss! What brings you here?"
"Why, Officer Wang, are you not welcoming ?"
The woman raised her eyes to glance at Officer Wang, causing sweat drops instantly to form on his forehead. Lin Chen suddenly noticed the purple-eyed woman's eyes were also purple, albeit hard to detect unless one paid attention, extrely peculiar.
Just then, as if sensing Lin Chen's gaze, the woman abruptly looked his way, eting Lin Chen's deep eyes. As Lin Chen made eye contact, he instantly sensed a wave of Divine Sense coming straight toward his consciousness.
"Not good!"
Lin Chen reacted swiftly, releasing Soul Power to block the Divine Sense. The sense had no malice, and gently upon contact retreated swiftly, giving Lin Chen quite a fright.
"Hmm?"
The woman suddenly uttered a soft interjection, and Officer Wang thought she was addressing him, promptly saying:
"Miss, these two guests wish to purchase a divine skill, but these others also want to buy it. Yet, we adhere to first-co, first-served basis, hence I sold the skill to these two."
"You're deceiving us; we clearly wanted it first!"
Zhao Xiaowen couldn't help blurting out as Officer Wang continued to lie.
The woman gestured with her hands, signaling Officer Wang to stop speaking, glanced at Lin Chen, then addressed Zhao Xiaowen:
"Are you certain you saw it first?"
"I am certain!"
Seeing this, the woman nodded and imdiately said:
"Officer Wang, sell that divine skill to these young misses!"
"Miss, this..."
"Hm? Is there a problem?"
"No, no, I'll handle it!"
The woman's status was evidently high, and following her command, the goateed old man instantly sold the Fire Phoenix Step to Zhao Xiaohua, without daring to collect extra divine crystals.
