Chapter 260 Unacceptable
He put the fragments of the Eye of God into his warehouse.
I glanced at the time.
There are still more than ten hours before the selection competition begins.
Not urgent.
Jiang Yuan also took a quick look at the warehouse.
Inside, the treasure shone brightly, its light dazzling and colorful.
There are countless high-level equipment and top-grade materials, and various rare and exquisite crystals are piled up like small mountains.
"I have wiped out all the accumulation of the three starter families on Alaya Island over the past hundred years."
"Besides the equipment I'm wearing, I currently have several legendary-level equipment and items, more than a dozen epic-level equipment, a considerable amount of grade nine precious medicines, and nearly 10 billion federal credits in cash... I won't lack resources for the time being."
Jiang Yuan thought to himself, glancing at the tens of thousands of merit points he still had left.
"I wonder if these merit points can be exchanged for anything interesting within the Divine Martial Academy."
"Oh, right."
Jiang Yuan glanced at the Hundred-Refined Divine Machine on his wrist.
"It's missing a few rare and special metals and items to upgrade it to legendary rank. Perhaps we can find them in the academy's treasury and research institute."
[Waaaaah, Master, you finally remembered me!]
This is the blueprint I designed for myself; I hope to become even more handsome.
[Since we're upgrading, I'd also like to add some attack and transformation elements, like turning into a mecha...]
"Shut up, I know what I'm doing."
【OK! 】
"Knock knock".
There was a knock on the door.
Jiang Yuan opened the door, looked at Tao Chunru in front of him, and smiled:
"mom."
Having eaten some spiritual fruits and taken some gene-enhancing potions, Tao Chunru, who looked more than ten years younger, asked, "Xiao Yuan, did I disturb you?"
"No, is something the matter?"
"A car is pulling up at the door. I think it might be looking for you. Do you want to go check it out?"
Jiang Yuan's gaze swept across the wall, allowing him to see everything outside.
He laughed and said, "It's nothing, don't worry about them."
"Where's Dad?"
"He went fishing with your aunt's husband. I really don't know what's so interesting about fishing."
"That's all he does for fun, just ignore him."
"I can't care about him."
……
at the same time.
A high-end extended sedan was parked in front of Jiang Yuan's house. The car was painted black and engraved with golden runes, clearly indicating that it was protected by a high-level magical shield.
A middle-aged man with slicked-back hair and an extremely upright demeanor stood at the door, his sharp eyes suggesting he had long held a high position.
Behind him stood a man and a woman in suits, both exuding a powerful aura and clearly formidable individuals.
A girl wearing round-framed glasses stood hesitantly not far away, dressed in a slightly dowdy black sweater and jeans, and was about the same age as Mo Xixi.
She had just mustered the courage to approach.
The man in the suit swept his eyes over, his gaze sharp as a knife.
How dare an ant, who isn't even a first-level martial artist, get close to this lord?
roll.
"Alas!"
The girl with glasses was startled and took two steps back, her face pale.
"Oh, how scary!"
"How could there be such a scary guy at Mo's doorstep? He doesn't seem like a relative. No, could he be a bad guy?!" The girl's mind was in turmoil, completely at a loss.
The middle-aged man glanced at the expensive antique watch on his wrist and said, "Black Violent, tone it down."
The man in the suit replied in a deep voice, "Yes."
"President, how much longer do we have to wait?" the woman in the suit asked, her tone somewhat impatient. "Given your status, so many important figures in the capital would love to see you but can't. Coming to apologize is already giving you a lot of face. This kid..."
"Feng, be careful what you say!" the man in the suit said.
The woman in the suit immediately shut up.
Middle-aged man: "I know you have a short temper, and I can usually tolerate you, but not today. Watch your words and actions, or else..."
The middle-aged man's gaze swept over them, his eyes dangerous and cold.
"I'll kill you."
An invisible killing intent enveloped her entire body. The woman in the suit's pupils dilated violently, and she felt as if she had fallen into an ice cave, her whole body trembling.
crunch--
The door opened.
The moment I saw the boy.
The middle-aged man's eyes lit up, and he was about to step forward and speak.
"ginger……"
However, Jiang Yuan completely ignored him.
His gaze swept past the three people, landing on the bespectacled girl hesitating at the street corner by the door, about to leave. He smiled and asked, "Are you Xixi's friend?"
The three men, including the middle-aged man, were taken aback.
The girl with glasses stared blankly at the handsome Jiang Yuan, frozen in place.
It took a full three seconds before I suddenly realized what was happening.
The girl with glasses blushed and hurriedly said, "Yes, yes! My name is Xu Zhuoling, and I live right next door. Is Ms. Mo home?"
"My name is Jiang Yuan, and I'm Xixi's cousin. She's busy right now and can't come out to see you. Just tell me what's wrong," Jiang Yuan said with a smile.
As for Mo Xixi, she was still in the basement digesting the medicinal effects after eating a spiritual fruit he brought back.
Xu Zhuoling said nervously, "Yes, that's how it is... Actually, I wanted to thank Mo for helping me last time... so..."
She mustered her courage and handed over the paper bag with both hands.
"Is this a thank-you gift for Xixi? Okay, I'll pass it on to her for you."
Jiang Yuan accepted it with a smile.
"Ah... thank you, thank you," the bespectacled girl murmured, her head still a little dizzy.
Jiang Yuan then turned his gaze to the three middle-aged men. "The Zhao family, right?"
The middle-aged man nodded, about to say something.
Jiang Yuan continued, "I know what you're trying to do. You know you've done something wrong and offended people, and now you want to just apologize and be done with it? There's no such thing as a free lunch."
"Mr. Jiang, we were indeed in the wrong first, and we sincerely apologize. Why don't you see how sincere we are?" the middle-aged man said.
Jiang Yuan held up one finger.
"If by sincerity you mean 10 legendary items, then I'll consider it."
The middle-aged man's face immediately darkened.
Legendary equipment is extremely rare; even with the Zhao family's resources, they only possess three pieces.
10 items?! How is that possible?!
The girl with glasses was completely stunned.
The man in the suit could paralyze her with just a glance; he must be a martial artist far stronger than her brother. And that middle-aged man must also be an important figure, yet they were so subservient to Xixi's cousin...
Who exactly is Brother Xixi?
The middle-aged man, Zhao Lingcheng, said in a deep voice, "It's better to resolve conflicts than to create them. Mr. Jiang, do you really want to form a deadly feud with our Zhao family?"
Jiang Yuan smiled and said, "So what?"
"If you can't produce 10 legendary-level equipment pieces, then get back here. Behave yourself and wait for me to come knocking on your door. You'd better also prepare some super-level defense scrolls, otherwise I'm afraid your Zhao family's ancestral hall won't withstand three punches from me."
"How dare you!" The impatient woman in the suit finally lost her temper.
Her figure instantly transformed into a whirlwind and vanished, leaving behind trees and the ground that crumbled in its wake.
"Whoosh!"
The slender figure appeared behind Jiang Yuan in an instant.
A powerful, sweeping kick, accompanied by a monstrous wind capable of annihilating everything, hurtled through the air with a sharp, piercing sound, like the scream of a weasel.
But the next moment—
"Bang!!"
Jiang Yuan made no move at all.
The elementalized woman in the suit was suddenly struck by an invisible, devastating blow. She was slammed to the ground from the air, her body bouncing high into the air from the recoil. With a muffled groan, she spat out a mouthful of blood, and the ground within a radius of several meters shattered and caved in.
"Who gave you the guts...?"
The boy's calm voice rang out.
An invisible, powerful mental force gripped the woman in the suit by the neck and lifted her high into the air.
The boy said the second half of his sentence to the middle-aged man: "...Dare to attack me?"
The middle-aged man's expression changed slightly.
The man in the suit, realizing what was happening, cried out in alarm and anger, "Wind!"
He slammed his hands into the ground, his eyes shooting out dazzling golden light, his martial will erupting!
Just about to activate his talent!
Jiang Yuan's gaze swept over him, and the terrifying martial arts pressure instantly crushed this eighth-level grandmaster, directly shattering his mental will. His eyes rolled back, his legs bent, and he knelt straight down on the ground, losing consciousness.
Two direct members of a top guild in the capital were instantly killed.
Jiang Yuan shook his head: "To actually launch an earthquake? This is a residential area. You people in power really don't treat ordinary people like human beings."
The middle-aged man remained silent, a bead of cold sweat trickling down his forehead.
He sensed the killing intent.
Although it was only a trace, it was terrifying!
He actually dared to kill someone!!
A strong intuition told him that if he said or did the wrong thing at this moment, he would probably die here with his two subordinates!
Even if he is a ninth-tier Grandmaster, even if he has an epic-level equipment, it's useless!
The bespectacled girl not far away stared blankly at this scene, not daring to breathe.
Jiang Yuan glanced at her, casually tossed the girl in the suit into the air toward the middle-aged man, gave him a sidelong look, and said in a cold tone:
"Go back and tell your ancestor to prepare three legendary-level equipment pieces, or else I'll come knocking on your Zhao family ancestral hall and smash it to pieces."
After saying that...
Jiang Yuan vanished from the spot in a flash.
Only the middle-aged man, his face covered in cold sweat, remained standing there, as if he had just escaped death.
He cursed inwardly.
Damn Zhao Xu, wasn't it said that his strength was equivalent to that of a ninth-level Grandmaster?
A ninth-tier Grandmaster could make him feel such a great threat?!
Damn it!
You scoundrel!
