"What? Qin Chen is facing off against the Young Master of the Four Directions? What is that guy doing? Doesn’t he know Qin Chen is my friend? Damn it!"
Fang Mu Ling's expression changed dramatically as she hurried to rush out. However, before she could leave, a force suddenly blocked her way.
"Father, what are you doing?" Fang Mu Ling exclaimed anxiously.
It was the Abyssal Manor Lord who intervened to stop Fang Mu Ling. He smiled and said, "Mu Ling, you and the demon god of chaos both said this person is a rare prodigy of my Abyssal Manor. Are you afraid he will be bullied by the Young Master of the Four Directions? If this boy is truly as you say, why would he fear the challenge from the Four Directions?"
"Father, this is a matter of principle. Qin Chen's outstanding talent is one thing; the Young Master of the Four Directions provoking my friend is another. How can you conflate the two?"
Fang Mu Ling replied angrily.
"Hehe, don’t worry. Since Qin Chen is your friend, I won’t let him come to harm. Besides, with Manager Li accompanying him, are you still worried he will run into trouble?" The Abyssal Manor Lord chuckled. "Didn’t you say you wanted me to meet him? As the distinguished lord of the Abyssal Manor, I don’t meet just anyone. It’s a good opportunity to see how powerful this peerless genius you spoke of truly is, one who has earned your admiration."
"I..." Fang Mu Ling wanted to say more, but the demon god of chaos beside her quickly reminded her, "Miss, the Manor Lord wants to observe Young Hero Qin. With his strength, if the Young Master of the Four Directions targets him, it would only be shooting himself in the foot."
Fang Mu Ling snorted coldly but didn’t say anything more.
The Abyssal Manor Lord looked at the demon god of chaos with surprise. He was aware of the Young Master of the Four Directions' strength, renowned among the younger generation. What ability did this kid possess to earn such confidence from the demon god of chaos?
Interesting!
The Abyssal Manor Lord opened his eyes and curiously gazed at the battlefield in the distance.
In the open space.
The Young Master of the Four Directions shouted at Qin Chen, "Kid, what’s the matter? Are you too scared to come up? If you're too scared, just admit defeat and roll out of the Abyssal Manor!"
"Since you’re looking for death, this young master can certainly fulfill that for you."
Qin Chen smiled lightly and slowly walked towards the open space. "But if we're going to fight, shouldn't there be some stakes? As the Young Master of the Four Directions, you wouldn’t be worse than a mere subordinate, right?"
"You..."
Hearing this, Li Long beside him instantly flared with anger.
"Hahaha, kid, you really have guts to ask for stakes at a time like this?" The Young Master of the Four Directions could barely contain his laughter; he looked at Qin Chen with cold eyes that radiated icy light. Raising his hand, a dazzling array of crystals floated in the air.
"This is ten thousand middle-grade cosmic crystals. If you have the capability, come and take them."
The Young Master of the Four Directions said with a cold smile.
The appearance of these ten thousand middle-grade cosmic crystals instantly changed the expressions of those present.
As expected of the Young Master of the Four Directions, such a sum was extraordinary.
"Is this all the stakes the esteemed Young Master of the Four Directions can muster? I expected more."
Qin Chen shook his head.
Everyone looked at him in disbelief.
What is this kid saying? This is ten thousand middle-grade cosmic crystals, not a small amount at all.
"Cosmic crystals are of no concern to this young master. As the Young Master of the Four Directions, you must have some top-grade materials. How about this: if you bring out three treasures that aren’t weaker than the previous Starlink Stone, then this young master will consider playing with you."
Qin Chen said lightly.
The Young Master of the Four Directions' pupils shimmered with a cold light: "Kid, are you not afraid of choking on your own words? Well then, I'll do you this favor."
