Chapter 2556: Ancient Sword! The Rise Of Unity Of Man Sword! Gray Crystal! (6)
“Are you going to tell them?” Round Ball asked.
“I won’t bother. Even if the price is a bit higher, it won’t surpa.s.s Le Yan’s Skywind Cyan Vulture. Whether I say it or not, the outcome will be the same,” w.a.n.g Teng replied.
“With 1,200 Chaos Coins, it seems like we’ve won,” Le Yan looked at w.a.n.g Teng and glanced at his piece of ore, saying, “Are you going to continue extracting stones?”
“Yes, why not?” w.a.n.g Teng replied calmly.
“Your ore was small, to begin with. Now that it’s been cut in half and still hasn’t produced anything significant, it’s likely to lose. You won’t beat Le Yan,” Ti Jing remarked blandly.
He still wanted to salvage his relations.h.i.+p with Le Yan. Since they were destined to lose, Ti Jing figured showing some magnanimity might help restore the impression he lost earlier.
“It isn’t fully extracted yet. It’s too early to say anything,” w.a.n.g Teng said calmly.
“Stubborn as a mule,” Ti Du sneered with disdain. “Do you think you can win Miss Le Yan with your ore? You’re daydreaming.”
“Why? You don’t want me to cut the ore?” w.a.n.g Teng glanced at him and asked him back.
“Enough, no more nonsense here,” Le Shan couldn’t stand it anymore, giving Ti Du and the others a cold look. “Regardless of the outcome, before it’s fully extracted, nothing can be determined. Don’t you understand such a simple principle?”
Ti Du’s face stiffened instantly, feeling extremely embarra.s.sed.
“Let’s continue extracting stones,” Le Yan chuckled, trying to defuse the tension.
At this point, her impression of w.a.n.g Teng had also deteriorated. With things having reached this stage, it was frustrating to see him still holding on stubbornly.
Sang Yi also frowned and glanced at w.a.n.g Teng. What exactly was this guy thinking?
While his eyesight was indeed impressive, in this situation, she didn’t believe his chosen ore could still win. So why was he persisting?
Master Rong walked over to the last stone extraction master, took a glance at w.a.n.g Teng’s piece of ore, and shook his head. He was not very optimistic about it but decided to personally extract it as a favor to these exceptional talents.
The treasures extracted from the first three stones had already widened his horizons. This piece of ore could just be a bonus, inconsequential.
Besides, with only a small piece left, it wouldn’t take much effort.
Crack…
Master Rong’s speed was impressive. In just a few swift movements, he peeled off the layers of stone skin from the ore in front of him, quickly revealing its true form.
There were no dazzling lights, no terrifying dangers. Everything was calm.
A dull gray crystal appeared before everyone, lying quietly there, looking somewhat inconspicuous.
“What is… this?” Everyone stared at the crystal, exchanging glances.
Sang Yi, Le Yan, and others looked at the stone with strange expressions, then glanced at w.a.n.g Teng as if to say…
Did you persist until the end for this dull gray crystal?
“Hahaha…” Ti Du couldn’t help but burst into laughter, laughing so hard that he bent over, saying, “Is this the treasure you picked out? It’s hilarious.”
“Looks like your luck isn’t too good this time,” Ti Jing said with a hint of mockery on his face, shaking his head.
“I thought you were a real genius, but it turns out you’re just seeking attention,” Ti Lu said indifferently.
Gu Luo felt that something was off. He approached the dull gray crystal and glanced at w.a.n.g Teng, seemingly not believing that w.a.n.g Teng would extract something useless.
“Is this it?”
“The treasures extracted from the first three ores were all remarkable. 1 thought even if this last one wasn’t as good, it wouldn’t be too bad. But to think it’s just this?”
“Yeah, what can this dull gray crystal do? 1 don’t sense any energy fluctuations from it. It’s probably a worthless stone.”
The people around were also discussing, deeply disappointed.
“Hahaha…”
Just at that moment, a burst of laughter suddenly rang out.
All eyes turned towards the source of the laughter, only to find that the one laughing heartily was none other than w.a.n.g Teng.
“What are you laughing at?” Ti Du frowned.
“Some people mistake ignorance for innocence!” w.a.n.g Teng shook his head.
“Who are you calling ignorant?” Ti Du’s expression turned sour as he glared at w.a.n.g Teng. “Anyone can see that this is just a worthless stone. Only you are still stubbornly insisting otherwise.”
“Worthless stone?!” w.a.n.g Teng glanced at him, his eyes full of contempt. “I think you’re the worthless one here, not understanding anything and yet still spouting nonsense.”
“What did you say?” Ti Du’s anger flared, his face turning red with rage.
“What do you mean?” Ti Jing’s expression was grim, but he remained calm as he scoffed, “Could this dull gray crystal be anything other than a worthless stone? With so many people here watching, do you think everyone is blind?” “Of course, this is a treasure. Unfortunately, everyone here is just blind to its value.” w.a.n.g Teng glanced at him, chuckled, and then directly activated his group mocking skill, mocking everyone present in one go.
Ti Jing was a little stunned. This guy dared to say anything.
Sang Yi and Le Yan were speechless.
This guy had real nerve, mocking so many people without fear of being beaten to death.
With so many people cursing him, it would be enough to drown him in their spit.
“What did you say?”
“What do you mean by blind? This is clearly just a worthless stone.”
“You gambled and lost. Who’s to blame? What use is being stubborn? It’s a joke.”
Indeed, the people around all had faces blackened with anger, glaring daggers at w.a.n.g Teng, wis.h.i.+ng they could spit on him until he choked.
This guy’s mouth was too sharp.
Old Ji and the elder named Song Ling beside him both shook their heads speechlessly. This kid must have lost his mind. With so many grandmasters and strong individuals present, he wasn’t afraid at all.
At the same time, Old Ji couldn’t help but breathe a sigh of relief. It was good that he lost the bet. If he won, it would be his turn to feel heartache.
Everyone was venting their anger at w.a.n.g Teng, and some were even gloating, sneering at him like he was a joke.
Only Appraiser Mesfield frowned, leaning in front of the dull gray crystal, looking at it and shaking his head from time to time as if he couldn’t quite understand.
“Now what do you have to say?” Ti Jing sneered.
Gu Luo, Sang Yi, Le Yan, and Le Tun frowned as they looked at w.a.n.g Teng. No one knew what he was thinking.
“In that case, let me show you what this is!”
“Pay attention, everyone!”
In the face of the crowd’s ridicule and sarcasm, w.a.n.g Teng’s expression remained unchanged. He walked up to the crystal, picked up the small crystal, about the size of a baby’s head, and held it in his hand. Then, he infused a strand of soul power into it.
Boom!
A deafening roar suddenly erupted, and an immensely pure and powerful soul force burst out, swirling in the air above the entire hall.
The surroundings immediately fell into silence…
