“Ha ha, you won't even dare to take a single move from the Ouyang Holy Daughter, is this considered a man?”
“Ouyang Holy Daughter has already said that she won't kill him, yet he still hesitates like this; it seems he is just a coward.”
“I heard this kid is the champion of the Alchemy Tournament from the Lower Four-Domains. Is this kind of trash worthy of being called a champion?”
“Commoners really are commoners; it would be better for him to roll back to the Lower Four-Domains early. How dare he try to associate with the Ouyang Holy Daughter? He should take a good look at his own worth, garbage!”
A crowd of onlookers gathered around, immediately mocking and sneering, their disdain and contempt evident, exuding an arrogance that came from their bones.
The Ouyang Holy Daughter was a goddess in the hearts of many talents from the Alchemy Pavilion. The fact that Ouyang Zhengqi allowed her to associate with this commoner from the Lower Four-Domains touched the sensitive nerves of everyone present.
Qin Chen's expression changed suddenly, filled with anger.
He was provoked and shouted, "Who says I'm not a man?"
“Then come and take a move from me!” Ouyang Nana said proudly.
“Alright!” Qin Chen could no longer suppress himself and readily agreed.
Ling Yi instantly revealed a look of disdain. What a fool; he was easily provoked and lost his composure in just a few exchanges. Such a person wasn't worth his attention and could be easily dealt with.
Old Gu was surprised. Based on Qin Chen's performance over the past few days, he was clearly a calm and composed person. How could he be so easily enraged?
Something didn't feel right.
“However!” Qin Chen elongated his voice and said angrily, “I'm not stupid; why would I compete with you for no reason? Unless you agree that if I can take your move, you'll give me a few royal medicines!”
“A few royal medicines? This kid really is asking for too much; does he think he is someone special? Just taking one move is worth a few royal medicines?” The crowd around sneered.
“Fine!” Ouyang Nana, however, did not hesitate to agree.
The readiness to agree so quickly was naturally because she had already formed a killing intent, determined to severely injure Qin Chen. So no matter how harsh his demands were, what did it matter?
Qin Chen was not so easy to deal with. He extended his hand and said, “Then let's bet on this. You need to put the stakes forward; I'm afraid you won't honor your word!”
“Will I go back on my word?” Ouyang Nana was furious. She was the Holy Daughter of the Alchemy Pavilion's headquarters and the most talented disciple of the Ouyang family. She was a person of her word; how could she not honor her promises?
“Regardless, if you don’t put up the royal medicines, I won’t compete with you. Who knows if you will go back on your word?” Qin Chen's attitude was firm.
“Alright!” Ouyang Nana finally nodded, her right hand spread open, and in her palm were three royal medicines.
“Three hundred years, four hundred years, four hundred fifty years.” Qin Chen glanced over and shook his head repeatedly, saying, “Are you trying to fool a beggar? These royal medicines are not even worthy of entry-level!”
Eighth-grade royal medicines generally have an age of at least three hundred years, but royal medicines aged between three hundred to five hundred years can only be considered entry-level, with relatively low value. Only royal medicines over five hundred years old would have extraordinary value.
Ouyang Nana was surprised; she hadn't expected Qin Chen's eyes to be so discerning. With just a glance, he completely saw through the ages of the three royal medicines. Such alchemical knowledge was not ordinary.
She looked at Qin Chen with a hint of vigilance. Could it be that this kid was pretending to be a pig to eat a tiger?
Yet, thinking further, she shook her head in her heart. No matter what, a late-stage Martial King could never be a match for a half-step Martial Emperor, even if he could take one move.
