Chapter 45: Chapter 45: Don't panic, it's just a small scene, I can handle it. (Seeking recommendations and favorites)_1
Xu Sheng's eyes flickered with a hint of astonishment, and the corner of his mouth twitched, "This Exploding Crystal actually costs five hundred golden soul coins?"
What kind of joke was this? This Flander simply seemed like a profiteer, asking for an exorbitant price!
In the original work, Tang San's starting price was a hundred, yet why had it increased fivefold for me?
No matter how wealthy he was, he couldn't allow himself to be taken for such a fool!
Under the cover of his hat, Xu Sheng's eyes turned cold, and he calmly asked, "Boss, can't it be a bit cheaper?"
Flander, sitting in his rocking chair, stretched his legs out to lie down, rolling his eyes without any reservation, and retorted mercilessly, "Take it or leave it, the price is final, no room for negotiation!"
If they wanted to buy something from Flander, he had to make a hefty profit off them—that was the rule!
Besides, this was also the perfect opportunity to see if this guy truly needed these two items, in order to glean something from his reaction...
Xu Sheng clenched his teeth, then, suppressing the displeasure in his heart, took out two bags of golden soul coins from his soul tool and indifferently threw them onto the table...
"Fine, I'll buy it! Here's eight hundred golden soul coins!"
As Xu Sheng was about to store the Exploding Crystal into his soul tool after picking up the ring, Flander glanced at him and spoke again, "Wait, the Exploding Crystal and the ring together come to a thousand golden soul coins! You're short!"
"Are you deliberately provoking me?" Xu Sheng's already icy face grew even more somber as he spoke, his whole body emanated a terrifying chill...
He had tolerated the mention of five hundred golden soul coins, after all, he wasn't one to fuss over such an amount...
But now, with prices being raised again so suddenly, it was a blatant provocation of his limits...
Feeling the terrifying aura emanating from Xu Sheng, Flander set down the magazine in his hands, adjusted his glasses, and slowly stood up, saying indifferently, "I say it's worth eight hundred, and that's what it's worth."
The icy gaze hidden under Xu Sheng's hat seemed to pierce through Flander. A few seconds later, with an expressionless face, he turned to leave...
Flander raised an eyebrow, realizing that Xu Sheng was likely not going to buy anymore...
However, he had achieved his goal, seeing that Xu Sheng was ignorant of the two items—it must have been more of an impulsive desire.
"I can sell you these two trinkets for five hundred golden soul coins, but only if you take off your hat and cloak..."
Xu Sheng turned around again, slowly removed his hat, revealed an extremely cold and handsome face, and said with an icy voice, "Scram!"
Just two items, he could do without them...
When Flander caught sight of Xu Sheng's face, his eyes flickered with surprise, and he thought to himself, "He's so young, looks about the same age as Mubai, but what's with the terrifying increase in the soul power fluctuations?"
Propping up his chin, he began to ponder, "Maybe I should probe this kid? If he's talented, it could be worth recruiting him into Shrek Academy a day earlier..."
Once he made up his mind, Flander's gaze fixed on Xu Sheng and he slowly uttered a highly displeased sentence, "Kid, you might choose not to sell, but since you dared to speak rudely, don't blame me for teaching you a lesson!"
The angry Xu Sheng's cold pupils emitted traces of red light, and he chuckled, "Teach me a lesson? Interesting, Flander, you've really overstepped."
Flander was inwardly shocked, "He actually knows my name!"
But what of it? He refused to believe that he, a Seventy-Eighth Level Soul Saint, would lose to a teenager!
That would be an insult to his own character!
Flander's contemptuous gaze swept over Xu Sheng once, and with a handsome gesture, he extended a palm towards Xu Sheng, arrogantly saying, "Kid, since I am older than you, I'll let you make the first move..."
When it was his turn to act, he'd better hold back a bit—if by some mishap he crippled the lad, that'd be a real sin...
Xu Sheng said nothing, but slowly took a step forward...
Seeing Xu Sheng's reckless move forward, Flander frowned and muttered, "What's with this kid? He's not even summoning his Martial Soul, could he be planning to pick a quarrel with me, Flander?"
Tsk, someone capable of tricking Flander in this world probably hasn't even been born yet!
With a "bang", Xu Sheng, head lowered, took another step towards Flander, and a pitch-black Ten-Thousand-Year Soul Ring slowly rose from beneath his feet...
When the latter beheld the profound black Soul Ring, he exclaimed in shock, "The first Soul Ring is a Ten-Thousand-Year one! This child's talent is terrifying! He must be recruited into Shrek Academy! Although his Soul Power is a bit low, he is indeed a monster among monsters!"
This kid is literally a monster among monsters! If we compared monster levels, Mubai and the rest are merely rookies compared to this child!
Brock, it seems your ten core competencies are not correct!
Today, a kid broke the academic authority of your Soul Master field!
Xu Sheng sneered and stepped forward two more paces... and two more pitch-black Soul Rings rose from beneath his feet...
Flander's face was filled with excitement, and he felt an immense thrill inside, secretly thinking, "Three Ten-Thousand-Year Soul Rings for a Soul Elder! He is a genius among geniuses, I, Flander, swear by any means necessary to enroll him into Shrek Academy!"
If this kid is enrolled at Shrek, why would I, Flander, worry about outstanding students? The future of Shrek is utterly bright!
A level 30 Soul Elder, capable of utterly crushing all the peers of his age on the Continent!
While Flander was lost in his thoughts, Xu Sheng took another step, and three more terrifying Ten-Thousand-Year Soul Rings floated up from his feet...
Flander involuntarily stepped back, looking at the six Soul Rings beneath Xu Sheng's feet in disbelief and asked, "Six... Ten-Thousand-Year Soul Rings for a... Soul... Soul Emperor?"
And here is Flander, just a Seventy-Eighth Level Soul Saint!
"This guy couldn't be getting serious, could he?"
Yet in his heart he reassured himself, "No big deal, no big deal, I'm a Soul Saint. His talent might be frightening, but he's just a Soul Emperor, there's still a ten level gap between us!"
The problem's not big, it's a small scene, a small scene, I, Flander, can handle this!
Xu Sheng slowly lifted his head, his eyes filled with murderous intent as he locked onto Flander and said coldly, "Flander, are you ready?"
A confused Flander asked with some bewilderment, "What do you mean by your words just now?"
But the next second, he understood what Xu Sheng meant!
Underneath Xu Sheng's feet, another three Ten-Thousand-Year Soul Rings emerged, and the last two were so profound they nearly approached a hundred thousand years!
"A... Title Douluo... Are you... are you joking with me? Your... Highness? Can you listen to my explanation... I didn't do it on purpose," Flander hastily started to defend himself, waving his hands. At that moment, the thought of recruiting Xu Sheng into Shrek was the last thing on his mind, as not being annihilated by the latter would be considered an earth-shaking miracle!
This is a Title Douluo! Damn the Soul Emperor! They're not even on the same level!
Oh heavens, are you planning to doom me, Flander!
Xu Sheng gave him a faint glance, not stopping his slow advancing steps, "Flander, weren't you very arrogant just now? Afraid?"
As Xu Sheng drew nearer and nearer, a tide of fear swelled up from the depths of Flander's heart, forced under the pressure of the Title Douluo...
Flander was compelled to release his Martial Soul, the Four-eyed Cat Eagle!
A massive eagle with four eyes materialized behind him, its huge form peering down at Xu Sheng, its piercing gaze locked firmly on his every move...
And seven Soul Rings appeared beneath him, a standard configuration of yellow, yellow, purple, purple, black, black, black Soul Rings.
Seeing that Xu Sheng still had no intention of stopping, Flander took another step back, pointing at Xu Sheng with a trembling voice, "Your Highness, if you come any closer, I may have to make a move..."
