Confident and undaunted, Chi Yuan uttered those two words without any hesitation.
Hearing this, Lu Zixun almost laughed out loud, shook his head, and said, "Compared with all my assets, yours might fall short by more than a little bit. So, here’s what I propose."
After a brief pause, Lu Zixun grinned at Chi Yuan, "I challenge you to a Spiritual Duel."
As soon as he finished speaking, Lu Zixun retrieved three large boxes of purified Spirit Pattern Branches from his storage talisman, "These Spirit Pattern Branches are worth ten million Crimson Coins, but of course, you can choose to refuse."
Clearly unprepared for Lu Zixun’s wealth, the sight of the three boxes caused Chi Yuan to fall into silence.
And Feng Yiyang, who had just walked in, gaped in disbelief upon seeing this scene.
Does the Lu family from the Crimson Land have such wealth?
My goodness, three boxes of Spirit Pattern Branches... With these resources, he could be piled up to J-level.
"Come on, little brother, speak up. If you don’t, I’ll take it as a refusal," said Lu Zixun, his lips curving in a slight smile, looking indifferently at Chi Yuan.
Trying to slap me in the face in front of Lin Siyin?
Sorry, but the king of pushing limits from the Crimson Land has never lost at being cocky.
Taking a deep breath, an air of relaxation suddenly appeared on Chi Yuan’s face.
His own strength was J-level while Lu Yanzu only had S-level strength; he must know that he couldn’t be his match, seeking to push him back with this tactic.
A cold smirk crossed Chi Yuan’s face; he might not be able to produce ten million Crimson Coins, but the Chi Family surely could. Lu Yanzu’s little ploy had clearly backfired.
Defeating Lu Zixun, seizing ten million Spirit Pattern Branches, and earning Lin Siyin’s admiration, as well as the appreciation of his family; the thought brought an uncontrollable smile to Chi Yuan’s face.
"I accept your Spiritual Duel! We’ll meet at the notary office in an hour!"
Regaining his confidence, Chi Yuan dropped this line and turned to leave, heading towards the Chi Family.
"Isn’t living a good thing?"
Having witnessed the scene, Zhang Tianyue muttered under her breath.
She had already figured out Lu Yanzu’s true identity.
Only someone capable of getting Lin Siyin to make an exception by allowing him to join their team and who could produce so many Spirit Pattern Branches at once, as well as sharing the Lu surname, and wield Ice Spiritual Ability...
Coincidences are many in this world, but when they accumulate, they are no longer coincidences.
Zhang Tianyue was certain that Lu Yanzu was unmistakably one of the lords from the Demon Country.
"You’re too rash, Yanzu," sighed Feng Yiyang, approaching Lu Zixun, "It’s nice that you want to use Spirit Pattern Branches worth ten million to make Chi Yuan give up the Spiritual Duel, but you’ve overlooked the fact that the Chi Family stands behind him."
Lu Zixun certainly wouldn’t forget such a thing.
Who said he only had so many Spirit Pattern Branches?
Once they get to the notary office, it wouldn’t just be about Spirit Pattern Branches worth ten million.
Today, if the Chi Family dares to provide Chi Yuan with ten million Crimson Coins, then Lu Zixun would strip the Chi Family bare if his name wasn’t Lu!
At the notary office, watching Lu Zixun’s bold manner as he continued to take items from his storage talisman, Feng Yiyang silently swallowed.
Who is this kid, and how the heck is he so rich?
"Insect Bamboo Crystals, thirty-eight pieces, valued at one hundred and fifty million Crimson Coins."
"Um, three hundred seventy-five Spiritual Tools... Let me find someone to come over and appraise their value for you."
Initially, Lu Zixun thought this notarization would be a private matter, but as it turned out, it was public.
There was an LED screen above, displaying the public betting amount.
Now, above Lu Zixun’s head, the LED screen was showing 3.9E, and that didn’t even include those unidentified spiritual tools.
"Si Yin, do you think the Chi Family could have this much money?"
Lin Siyin, who knew Lu Zixun’s intentions, couldn’t help but give him a disdainful look.
After pondering carefully, Lin Siyin replied, "They should have it. The Chi Family is in too deep to back out now. Da Ju, you’re too bad."
While the two of them were whispering to each other, Zhang Tianyue couldn’t help but feel sorry for Chi Yuan.
Lin Siyin generally kept others at a cold distance, never engaging in such whispering even with other women, let alone men.
However, Zhang Tianyue hadn’t expected that Lu Zixun’s Transformation would be so handsome.
Furthermore, now that Lu Zixun was showing off his wealth, Zhang Tianyue couldn’t help but inwardly exclaim, "Lin Siyin really hit the jackpot in life."
Chi Yuan was indeed in a tight spot right now...
Having brought over the Crimson Card, they thought those three boxes of Spirit Pattern Branches were already Chi Family property.
Until they looked up and saw the public betting amount skyrocketing to 3.9E, Chi Yuan actually thought there was a problem with the machine.
When the staff told Chi Yuan there was no problem, his face turned dark.
If he had known how rich Lu Yanzu was, he wouldn’t have initiated the Spiritual Duel at all, but would have let the family’s elders assassinate Lu Yanzu in secret.
But now regret was clearly too late, as the news of an S-level challenge to a J-level had already spread throughout Zone 3.
Chi Yuan could definitely refuse the challenge.
But his face, as well as the Chi Family’s face, would be thoroughly trampled upon, and they wouldn’t be able to hold their heads high in Zone 3 ever again.
"An S-level challenging a J-level is clearly just giving away money, and Chi Yuan actually refused. What an embarrassment."
"Whether it’s giving away money or not, Chi Yuan is definitely a coward."
Such remarks were already echoing in Chi Yuan’s mind.
"Go to the notary office."
Just as Chi Yuan was hesitating, a middle-aged man’s voice rang out beside his ear, and Chi Yuan was instantly overjoyed.
The one who came up to Chi Yuan was none other than the patriarch of the Chi Family, Chi Zuwang.
It has to be said, father and son had the same idea.
Chi Zuwang also believed that Lu Yanzu knew he couldn’t beat Chi Yuan, so he was using this method to force Chi Yuan to refuse, thereby avoiding the duel.
Chi Zuwang sneered coldly, this was clearly some nouveau riche from who knows where.
3.9E Crimson Coins was nothing, the Chi Family had deep reserves, they could produce 10E with ease, not to mention 3.9E.
And once the items were notarized, if Lu Zixun lost, they would all belong to the Chi Family.
Chi Zuwang stated that the idea of an S-level beating a J-level was absolutely a fantasy.
He took out another Crimson Card and had the staff notarize it.
Chi Zuwang patted Chi Yuan’s shoulder, "Fight well in a bit, show the Chi Family’s style. Lu Yanzu is just an insignificant stone on your path to success. You are the most outstanding of our Chi Family..."
Before Chi Zuwang could finish speaking, the staff came over and interrupted him, "Excuse me, sir, 3.8E has been entered into the public betting amount from your card. We’re still short 11.2E, would you like to forfeit this Spiritual Duel, or..."
Upon hearing this amount, Chi Zuwang, with anger in his voice, went over to Lu Zixun’s notarization area.
Seeing over three hundred Spiritual Tools laid out on the table, it seemed surreal.
But the next second, Chi Zuwang’s anger flared up, feeling overwhelmingly furious.
"Ah, that’s a bit much, the Chi Family might not be able to come up with that much money."
