Chapter 737 - 757: Lin Feng’s Results
The anger on Kong Feifei’s face was something Chu Linfeng naturally couldn’t miss. At this moment, he was walking toward the old man who was responsible for verifying the number of wooden tokens, his face brimming with confidence.
The old man glanced at Chu Linfeng and said disdainfully, "Take out all the wooden tokens you’ve obtained and let’s see if you can proceed to the next round."
Chu Linfeng smiled but didn’t immediately take out the wooden tokens. Instead, he glanced at the old man and said, "Your table is too small. I’m afraid my wooden tokens will overflow, so you’d better get a larger table."
"What, change the table? Kid, are you kidding me? With your perceived ability, you think you can fill this table? If you dare to cause trouble here, I’ll throw you into the dungeon." The old man said somewhat angrily.
The people around them also heard what Chu Linfeng said. Earlier, a certain young lady had been quite arrogant, pulling out a surprising number of wooden tokens, but even she didn’t ask for a change of table. Yet, this guy was even more outrageous, seemingly more arrogant than the lady. Many thought he was mentally unsound and was deliberately causing trouble, all ready to watch the spectacle.
The commander also glanced at Chu Linfeng, and from the energy fluctuations around him, it was clear that this person was only at the Saint Martial Realm Second Layer. Such individuals were a dime a dozen among the Ghost Race youths and nothing special.
Chu Linfeng then said, "If you think I’m deceiving you, then count these wooden tokens. I hope you won’t regret it!"
With that, he willed it, and all the wooden tokens from the Storage Ring appeared on the table, instantly piling up high, with many falling to the ground.
The sudden appearance of so many wooden tokens shocked everyone, especially the old man, the commander, and Kong Feifei.
The old man stared at the tokens on the table, dumbfounded, and finally blurted out, "Did you really obtain all these wooden tokens yourself?"
"Nonsense, if I didn’t get them, did you give them to me? I asked you to change tables, but you underestimated me. Now, you can count them at your leisure!" Chu Linfeng said irritably. At this moment, his power in Wangtu City was nothing to be afraid of anyone, let alone an old man whose strength was merely at the Eighth Level of the Saint Martial Realm.
The commander felt uneasy now. Just now, he had misjudged Kong Feifei’s performance, and now Chu Linfeng surprised him even more. It was unbelievable for someone at the Saint Martial Realm Second Layer to acquire so many wooden tokens, but with the facts right before him, there was only one possibility: this person was also a significant master with impressive hidden skills.
"Count these wooden tokens. I didn’t expect our Ghost Race to have two peerless talents appear; it really is surprising." The commander said.
Chu Linfeng didn’t say anything but turned to look at Kong Feifei. At this moment, Kong Feifei had an ugly look on her face, unable to believe that despite her efforts in the Land of the Dead killing Ghost Race members, she still had fewer wooden tokens than Chu Linfeng.
That wasn’t the worst part; having fewer meant she lost their bet. Given this guy’s shameless nature, he would surely make excessive demands, and she really didn’t know how to handle it.
Seeing Kong Feifei’s expression, Chu Linfeng felt elated and discreetly sent a secret message to her, saying, "You’ve lost this time, don’t forget our bet, hahaha!"
Kong Feifei glared at Chu Linfeng, and if looks could kill, he’d have died thousands of times over. Unfortunately, that wasn’t possible unless it was done by the Eye of Celestial Pupil from the Purple Demon Thunder Fox.
The crowd around erupted into chatter once again, and the discussions about Chu Linfeng were no less heated than those about Kong Feifei. Some believed that if Chu Linfeng could present so many wooden tokens, then the number of Illusion Stones he would take out might not be any less than hers.
These words were hard for Kong Feifei to hear. She wished to slay those who spoke them, but reason told her she must endure.
At this point, the old man picked up all the wooden tokens from the ground and finished counting them. "There are a total of 1,231 wooden tokens. It’s really surprising that you managed to get so many," he said.
"The surprises aren’t over yet. Don’t assume that just because someone’s strength seems weak, they can’t achieve great things." Chu Linfeng said, deliberately glancing at the commander.
The commander walked over and, with a wave of his hand, the wooden tokens disappeared. He said to Chu Linfeng, "Since you’ve obtained so many wooden tokens, there must also be quite a few Illusion Stones. I want to see what kind of miracle you can perform."
Chu Linfeng then took out all the Illusion Stones from his Storage Belt, making sure to hold back the Tyrannosaurus Illusion Stone. In no time, the Illusion Stones piled up into small mounds on the table, astonishing everyone once again.
Even the middle-aged man in the sky felt amazed at the sheer number of tokens and stones, something that seemed nearly impossible, as even for him to collect so many would take a long time.
The old man dared not underestimate Chu Linfeng anymore. Someone like him must be feigning weakness only to strike later, and he would surely become an influential figure in the Ghost Race, not someone to be offended.
The number of Illusion Stones was quickly counted, and the old man’s demeanor instantly changed. Smiling at Chu Linfeng, he said, "A total of 415 Illusion Stones! This is the first time I’ve seen someone in a competition gather so many Illusion Stones. Young man, you are truly remarkable. It will be your world in the Ghost Race in the future."
"Four hundred and fifteen? That’s 99 more than Kong Feifei, meaning there’s no suspense that I’ve beaten her," Chu Linfeng thought to himself with a grin.
"Not bad, not bad at all! You have the most wooden tokens in this contest. However, your Illusion Stones aren’t the most. The young lady earlier had 316 Illusion Stones, but she had one massive stone that was worth 100 regular ones. So her total should count as 416 Illusion Stones, while you only have 415, putting you in second place," the commander announced.
Chu Linfeng simply chuckled, "I know her Illusion Stone can be worth 100, but do you think only she has such a stone? Do you think I might not have one too? Aren’t you underestimating people?"
"You have one too? Those only appear on monsters at the Ninth Layer of the Saint Martial Realm. Are you telling me you have the power to slay something like that?" the commander asked, clearly startled by Chu Linfeng’s claim.
Kong Feifei had given him a mysterious aura that made it hard to see her true strength, but Chu Linfeng’s abilities seemed obvious. Claiming he could slay a Ninth Level Saint Martial Realm monster seemed unbelievable.
"Whether I have or not isn’t for you to say, it’s proven by the results!" Chu Linfeng replied with a smile, as a stone of the same size as the one Kong Feifei had previously taken out appeared in his hand...
