Chapter 2341 2315 Who is Number One on the Profound
Chapter 2341: Chapter 2315: Who is Number One on the Profound Ascension Rankings! (Four Updates) Chapter 2341: Chapter 2315: Who is Number One on the Profound Ascension Rankings! (Four Updates) Xiang Yang sneered, “Without exaggeration, just the Divine Cloud Stones our Xiang Family has brought this time are more than triple your entire assets, do you grasp the concept? Even if you have some strength, the Ten Great Families are not something you can afford to provoke!”
Speaking, he glanced at Li Yanxi again, “And certainly not someone you could ever hope to court! Don’t think you can attract attention just by having a bit of strength and knowing how to put on an act, I advise you best not harbor such thoughts!”
“Enough!”
At this time, Li Yanxi finally burst out, rebuking sharply, “Xiang Yang! Although you are my friend, it’s not your place to point fingers at who I talk to or pay attention to, is it?”
Originally, she was just a bit interested in Ye Chen, but now with Xiang Yang stirring things up, her desire to get to know Ye Chen increased!
Upon hearing this, Xiang Yang was stunned, Li Yanxi actually got angry at him over this Ye Chen?
In a flash, Xiang Yang’s expression became exceedingly ugly, and his eyes, as they fixed on Ye Chen, were flashing with murderous intent!
Why would someone ranked one hundred on the Profound Ascension Rankings, from a garbage place like the Mystic Moon Sect, receive so much attention from Yanxi?
Where did he fall short compared to him? In every aspect, wasn’t he far superior? Yet it was him whom Li Yanxi scolded?
He couldn’t understand and was furious!
His pride and his dignity as a son of the Ten Great Families had been damaged because of this youngster!
Now, he felt it was Ye Chen who seemed like the son of the Ten Great Families, the genius ranking high on the Profound Ascension Rankings in front of Li Yanxi, while he himself was nothing…
He gnashed his teeth tightly and with force, he gripped the hilt of the black-sheathed Dragonslayer Sword at his waist, even contemplating drawing it!
At this moment, Ke Jing stepped forward to mediate,
“Alright, alright, the auction is about to begin. If you really need to settle a score, it won’t hurt to wait a little while, right? Once we get to the auction, won’t everything become crystal clear?”
Ye Chen smiled, not saying much more, triple the funds of the Divine Fire Academy?
It was barely less than ten million Divine Cloud Stones, that’s the strength of the Ten Great Families? Not so impressive then.
However, Ye Chen also knew that this was mainly because Ge Qing had invested so much in him!
He had almost single-handedly been given the resources of the entire academy, whereas the Nangang Xiang Family naturally could not do the same, and had only brought a portion of their funds.
In fact, for the Ten Great Families, they all had some contact with the Divine Kingdom to varying degrees, and compared to other top-tier forces, they valued this auction as well, but had not reached the point of committing a large portion of their assets.
And now, the auction officially began admission.
Ye Chen and Chen Zhifan walked into the auction house, while Li Yanxi gave Xiang Yang a cold glance, “Xiang Yang, I’m very dissatisfied with your behavior just now. Let’s not sit together at the auction.”
With those words, she followed behind Ye Chen, entering into the auction hall.
Xiang Yang was now utterly panicked!
He had been planning to confess to Li Yanxi after the auction!
And now, it seemed that Li Yanxi intended to sit with another man?
He called out anxiously, “Yanxi, listen to me…”
At this moment, Ke Jing blocked Xiang Yang with his arm, laughing as he said, “Brother Xiang, trying to stop Yanxi now will only make her resent you more. Let her go; you know her personality.”
Xiang Yang hesitated for a moment before he stopped in his tracks. He clenched the hilt of his sword so tightly that veins popped out on his hand, and a cold light flickered in his eyes as he said,
“Ye Chen? I’ll show you the vast gulf between you and the Ten Great Families. When you fail to win a single item at the auction, I wonder if you can keep up your pretense?”
Having said this, he and Ke Jing entered the venue as well.
Meanwhile, Ye Chen and Chen Zhifan had already found their seats and sat down. At that moment, Li Yanxi approached Ye Chen and asked, “May I sit here?”
Ye Chen shrugged and replied, “Sure, it’s just the two of us.”
Li Yanxi smiled brightly upon hearing this and said, “Ye Chen, you said yesterday that you won’t let us win anything at the auction? You’d better hope that nothing I like comes up, because I won’t go easy on you.”
“Oh?” Ye Chen smiled. “Let’s see if you can manage that.”
Competing with money didn’t bother him; after all, wasn’t that what auctions were for?
But since it was a competition of wealth, if his funds were sufficient, nobody should have anything to say about him sweeping the entire auction, right?
At this time, a young man dressed in extremely luxurious purple silk clothes, slender in stature, with handsome features and a hint of feminine softness, entered the venue.
Chen Zhifan pointed to the man and introduced him to Ye Chen by saying, “This man is named Liang Qiu, the third son of the West Desolate Mountain’s Liang Family from the Lingwu Continent. The West Desolate Liang Family is also one of the Ten Great Families. Although the overall strength of the Liang Family is slightly weaker than the other families,
the West Desolate produces various high-level crystal stones for refining weapons, and the Liang Family has a monopoly on most of the forging materials market on the Lingwu Continent. Therefore, in terms of financial strength, they can even compare with the Donglin Li Family, the most powerful among the Ten Great Families!”
As he spoke, he looked towards Li Yanxi beside him and continued, “This Miss Li is the eldest lady of the Donglin Li Family, and she also ranks seventh in the Profound Ascension Rankings as a super genius.”
Li Yanxi turned her head towards Ye Chen with a radiant smile, showing little concern for Chen Zhifan’s introduction. Instead, she pulled at Ye Chen’s sleeve, gesturing towards a burly man with bulging muscles, over two and a half meters tall and with a somewhat terrifying face, and said,
“That burly man is also quite famous, you know. Don’t judge by his looks; he’s actually only twenty-five years old! Known as ‘Giant Mountain’ Tong Niu!
With steel-like muscles and extreme toughness, he once withstood the full force of three strikes from a Great Void Strong Person without dying!
He’s ranked ninth on the Profound Ascension Rankings, at the peak level of the Sealed Gate realm, and it’s said that he has entered the Desolate Realm Secret Realm on the Lingwu Continent using his powerful physical body and acquired Supreme Treasure, making him quite wealthy!”
Chen Zhifan was taken aback and couldn’t help showing a bittersweet expression. He had wanted to introduce to Ye Chen the notable individuals at this auction, but now Li Yanxi had taken the lead?
However, he knew this might be even better, as with Li Yanxi’s status, she surely had a more thorough understanding of the people present.
But at that moment, Ye Chen asked curiously, “Has the person ranked first in the Profound Ascension Rankings arrived this time?”
If there was anyone present he was interested in, it would be the one who was first on the Lingwu Ascension Dark List.
He knew that, no matter where, the first in rank possessed unique qualities, and their level was entirely different from the second or third.
With Ye Chen’s current strength, only a genius of such caliber could attract his notice.
