King Meng Sui
Inside Yu Bao Tang.
At the same time this scene was unfolding.
A bald, one-eyed Alien Race powerhouse with silver runes on his face glanced at the stairs and chuckled, "I didn't expect to see such a good show while visiting Yu Bao Tang. In this outer city, there is actually someone who dares to provoke King Wu Lü... Do you recognize who he is?"
"I've never seen him before. He looks unfamiliar. He's probably a new member of the Hong Alliance."
"Having just joined the Hong Alliance, he dares to say that King Wu Lü is unsophisticated..." The Alien Race King Rank, dressed in purple battle armor and with a semi-transparent body, shook his head and sighed, "That guy values his reputation very much. If you dare to offend him, this matter will probably not end well."
"One is a member of the pinnacle of humankind, and the other is King Wu Lü. Haha, how interesting."
The powerful figures from various races were watching the spectacle.
They could tell that Lin Yan was of human origin, and that humans were undoubtedly the strongest in Hong Alliance City. Although King Wu Lü was of Alien Race, they did not think that King Wu Lü would suffer a loss.
Humans are the rulers of the Hong Alliance!
But the strength of the strong is the fundamental factor.
When a human being is merely a one-star King Rank and provokes enemies, did he never consider why King Wu Lü could freely enter and exit the second floor of Yu Bao Tang, while he himself was blocked at the stairwell?
This is the difference in status and position!
Among the many King Rank in Hong Alliance City, there are very few who have a stronger background and more powerful methods than King Wu Lü.
At the top of the stairs, the man in the golden robe stood with a grim expression and said coldly, "What... what did you just say?"
He was furious.
He originally wanted to befriend the King Seven Swords, but they didn't take him seriously at all. He was already resentful, and now a mere one-star human King Rank dared to look down on him like this.
How dare he?
"There's no need to put on such an air in front of me." Lin Yan glanced at him and said indifferently, "If you're so proud of just entering the second floor of Yu Bao Tang, then your vision... is just so limited."
He could tell that this Alien Race King Rank, who appeared arrogant and attacked others for no reason to show off his status, was actually just trying to relieve his inferiority complex in front of humans.
Even though Lin Yan's talent is praised to such an extent, has he ever deliberately shown off in front of others?
Only those who lack something or worry about it will engage in such meaningless behavior.
Upon hearing this...
King Wu Lü was even more furious!
Before he could speak.
The Alien Race beauty who had previously stopped Lin Yan said with a hint of pride, "This guest may not know, but to go up to the second floor of Yu Bao Tang, one must either be a four-star existence or even higher, or have deposits exceeding 100 billion Hun Yuan Unit in the Cosmic First Bank or the Cosmic Galaxy Bank. Only those who meet one of these conditions can enter."
She appeared to be simply giving an introduction, but there was a hint of disdain in her beautiful eyes.
Four-star beings are the most basic level of Universe Venerable. Even Invincible Feng Wang like True Yan King are included in this category. They all reside in the inner city. There are over three million one-star to three-star powerhouses in the Hong Alliance City. How many beings are above four stars?
As for having over 100 billion Hun Yuan Unit in deposits... how could a normal Feng Wang expert have that many deposits?
The total wealth of Peak Feng Wang Expert is generally only a few hundred billion Hun Yuan Unit. This does not refer to savings. Their wealth has basically been converted into strength to purchase armor, weapons, etc. Who would have such a large amount of savings?
Even those powerful King Rank who possess great treasures, whose net worth far exceeds hundreds of billions, cannot exchange their treasures for money. Selling them is easy, but buying them back is impossible. In terms of savings alone, they may not even have 100 billion Hun Yuan Unit!
This rule is actually mainly for those groups. For example, if a certain group wants to go to the second floor to buy treasures, it is not feasible to have the Universe Venerable come in person every time. This way, a certain King Rank can be appointed to represent the group to make the purchase.
With such stringent requirements, there is naturally something to be proud of. How could a mere one-star human being King Rank possibly boast so arrogantly?
To say that others are unsophisticated?
Aren't you afraid of getting your tongue stuck in the Great Wind!
She thought that after she made her request, Lin Yan would surely know what kind of stupid thing she had done and what kind of person she should have messed with.
But what I didn't expect was...
Lin Yan's expression remained unchanged, and he didn't even glance at her.
She's just a waitress, who knows which race sent this genius in... Just the fact that she can feel superior even while guarding a door shows she's not thinking straight enough, she's not worth Lin Yan's attention.
The man in the golden robe, who looked as if he were carved from purple jade, gave her an approving look, which secretly pleased the woman. With the status of this King Wu Lü, even the slightest connection would be enough to make her feel incredibly fortunate.
"I'd like to see if you dare say my vision is narrow, or if I'll let you take even half a step up these stairs," the man in the golden robe sneered.
Anyone can talk big.
A mere one-star rating? Does it even deserve that?
Meanwhile, in the distance on the other side, five powerful humans were also looking in this direction, drawn by the sound.
"King Wu Lü..."
A tall human with curly hair shook his head and said, "If it were anyone else, even if they were a three-star, they wouldn't dare to act so recklessly in front of us humans. But this person's identity is special. Didn't anyone remind this newcomer before he joined the Hong Alliance?"
"It would be unwise to provoke King Wu Lü over such a trivial matter."
Beside him stood a tall, burly, two-horned beastman clad in thick armor, who said in a low voice, "King Wu Lü is extremely ruthless, and he is generous in befriending powerful humans with distinguished backgrounds. He has a group of powerful friends, and we are not in his circle... We are not to be trifled with."
"Someone should be able to handle Yu Bao Tang," a white-robed Immortal God smiled. "This is, after all, Hong Alliance City."
Just as he expected.
Upon hearing the news, the deputy head of Yu Bao Tang came out from the back hall and walked straight over.
"Gentlemen, please do not quarrel in my Yu Bao Tang," said the blonde woman, "King Can Xin."
At the same time.
Lin Yan heard the voice transmission of King Can Xin: "Guest, although King Wu Lü in front of you is Alien Race, his teacher is a seven-star existence and he is extremely favored by his teacher, who treats him like his own son. He also makes friends with many powerful people among humans. It is best not to provoke him easily."
A disciple of the Seven Stars of Alien Race?
Lin Yan smiled.
Even if he were a disciple of the Alien Race universe lord, how could he possibly harm him in the slightest?
"How can you say you're angry?" Upon seeing King Can Xin, the man in the golden robe immediately toned down his arrogant attitude and came down the stairs.
Yu Bao Tang's backers are so powerful that even his teacher dares not provoke them.
"Since we've fallen out today, if you truly deserve to be on this second floor, I'll apologize to you!" He glanced around at the treasures, pointed directly to one of them, and smiled at Lin Yan, "This 'Purple Blue Thunder Glass,' are you satisfied?"
Purple Blue Thunder Glass is a mysterious item born in the universe. It is only produced in the terrifying "Thunder God Hall Secret Realm" within the territory of the Zerg Territory. The Thunder God Hall Secret Realm is very famous, attracting powerful beings from billions of races in the vast universe to explore it.
This one piece of "Purple Blue Thunder Glass" is worth as much as 1.2 billion Hun Yuan Unit!
As expected of the disciple of the Seven Stars Overlord, he always displays such grand gestures, which shocked everyone present.
King Wu Lü looked at Lin Yan and continued, "But if you can't get up there, I don't need your apology. Just be prepared to apologize properly. I want you to swallow every word you said earlier!"
"If I'm in a good mood, I might forgive your mistake."
A sharp glint flashed in his eyes, and though his face was full of smiles, the mockery within could not be concealed.
"How insidious. He's gone this far; even Yu Bao Tang can't say anything more," the white-robed Human Immortal God shook his head.
Everyone present was shrewd and knew exactly what King Wu Lü was thinking.
Although he was the one who started the trouble, and the other party was of human origin, he was willing to offer Purple Blue Thunder Glass worth 1.2 billion Hun Yuan Unit as compensation, so naturally no one could find fault with him.
In this way, the pressure is shifted to the other side.
Whether you apologize or not, you'll still lose face.
For a Feng Wang expert, face is still very important. Although the powerful figures of their respective clans in Hong Alliance City banded together for mutual support, the other human powerhouses also looked down on a "laughing stock".
As for whether this newcomer, who is only a one-star, has hundreds of billions of Hun Yuan Unit in savings... no one believes that.
Not to mention whether they had it or not, they couldn't even borrow it. King Wu Lü didn't believe it, which is why he readily offered "Purple Blue Thunder Glass" as an apology.
The Alien Race King Rank over there were even more excited. I wonder how this new human will respond?
But unexpectedly...
Lin Yan looked at King Wu Lü in front of him with great satisfaction, and even praised him, saying, "You are very good, extremely good."
Alas, you can know a person's face but not their heart.
This King Wu Lü looks so arrogant, I wonder how he knows that "Purple Blue Thunder Glass" is one of the material treasures for cultivating the second level of the "Black Hole Sacred Body"?
Going through all this trouble just to give yourself a gift!
1.2 billion Hun Yuan Unit!
What a kind person.
Lin Yan hurriedly called out to King Can Xin, "The deputy hall master also saw it. Remember to deliver this piece of Purple Blue Thunder Glass to me along with the other items."
Even the blonde woman, "King Can Xin," was somewhat bewildered and couldn't react.
Such confidence.
Could it be... that this person really has 100 billion Hun Yuan Unit in savings?
King Wu Lü looked ashamed and indignant. "I said you'd only apologize if you were qualified to go up to the second floor of Yu Bao Tang! What are you thinking!"
"I'm already satisfied with the apology; there's no need for a formal apology. I don't care about that empty reputation," Lin Yan said with a smile. Suddenly, he frowned, his face full of doubt. "You don't really think I can't get up to the second floor, do you?"
As he spoke, he wiped the glittering Star Mark on his arm guard.
The entire room fell silent.
What do you think?
One-star kid!
Under their gazes, Lin Yan walked directly to the stairwell, looked at the beautiful Alien Race woman who had just blocked his way, and calmly said, "Get out of the way."
That calm voice, however, seemed to thunder in her ears, haunting her like a nightmare, and she instinctively stepped aside.
"Thump!"
Lin Yan took a step and easily stepped onto the stairs.
Virtual Universe Company and Cosmic Galaxy Bank are both among the five major powers, and they share a lot of data. Without any detection procedures, they successfully stepped onto this ladder.
Instantly!
Everyone present was incredulous.
Did he really go up there?
A newcomer who has likely just joined the Hong Alliance has a deposit of hundreds of billions of Hun Yuan Unit. What is this guy's identity?
Lin Yan didn't care about their reactions. Without turning his head, he went straight up the stairs to the second floor, leaving behind only a single sentence that echoed in the silent Yu Bao Tang.
"This will not be allowed to happen again!"
King Wu Lü's pupils contracted, and his expression changed continuously!
He himself was able to meet the requirement of reaching the second level of Yu Bao Tang simply because he had a teacher who was a Seven Feng Wang Limit Seven Stars Overlord.
What about the other person?
That guy's background is likely even more surprising than I imagined!
And... those are human beings!
"I never expected it to turn out like this!"
"Could it be... another one of the King Seven Swords?"
"Humans are the pinnacle of the race, and there are far too many Super genius emerging from them. I've heard that among the younger generation that the human race is focusing on cultivating, even the King Seven Swords are not the strongest."
"Yes."
"The younger generation of the human race? I've heard that the Peak Existence of humanity, the 'Chaos City Lord,' took a genius lord whose talent was comparable to 'Ke Di' as his disciple hundreds of years ago. The King Seven Swords' talent is probably not even as good as his."
"Don't forget... humanity has another truly undisputed, most terrifying prodigy! In his presence, all these geniuses pale in comparison! Once he enters the immortal realm, catching up with the likes of King Tian Yu will be no difficult task."
Inside the Yu Bao Tang, the King Rank from Alien Race exchanged glances and began to whisper amongst themselves.
The human race has an incredibly rich and profound heritage.
Geniuses of all kinds emerge one after another. Any one of them could easily defeat the top geniuses of other races in the Hong Alliance. This scene... is like a microcosm of this situation.
Little did they know that the newcomer who had just stepped onto the second floor was the very terrifying prodigy they had been discussing.
"King Wu Lü, please." King Can Xin looked at the man in the golden robe with a smile.
The promised Purple Blue Thunder Glass hasn't been paid for yet!
King Wu Lü felt a pang of regret. 1.2 billion Hun Yuan Unit was not a small amount for him, but he dared not renege on his debt. If he were to truly incur the wrath of this human genius, it would be something that 1.2 billion Hun Yuan Unit could not erase.
He walked towards the hall inside Yu Bao Tang.
King Can Xin paused for a moment, then looked coldly at the woman who was blocking Lin Yan from going upstairs. "Who told you that you have the right to stop a guest?"
While the Star Mark are quite obvious, the bank account information isn't written on their faces. The Virtual Universe wouldn't reveal such hidden information to these attendants; their role is simply to provide explanations if someone can't pass through.
However, over time, after seeing so many beings with four stars or higher, some people have developed an arrogant sense of pride, which is truly absurd!
The woman was already stunned with fear. Upon hearing King Can Xin's words, she trembled and immediately knelt down, ready to beg for mercy.
King Can Xin showed no mercy, directly stripping the woman of her privileges to enter Hong Alliance City. He didn't bother to say anything to her. As for who sent her in, he would naturally hold them accountable!
She glanced at the second floor, feeling a little curious about the guest's identity, but knew it wasn't her business. She shook her head and then walked into the hall.
Meanwhile, Lin Yan had already entered the second floor of Yu Bao Tang.
The treasures on the first floor of Yu Bao Tang range in price from millions of Hun Yuan Unit to hundreds of billions of Hun Yuan Unit, while the second floor contains countless precious treasures.
"Tsk tsk."
Lin Yan looked at the densely packed information about the treasures, his gaze sweeping over the accompanying diagrams next to the treasures.
"Soul Annihilation Aurora?" He saw the detailed information about one of the treasures. "It is a mysterious light stored in the Cosmic Secret Realm. Once released, even ordinary Universe Venerable will be injured, and those below the Universe Venerable will surely die?"
Let's look at the price tag—10.6 trillion Hun Yuan Unit!
The cheapest treasures here cost at least 1 billion Hun Yuan Unit. Compared to the first floor, even the cheaper ones are rarer items, and treasures costing over 10 trillion are commonplace.
But these monetary transactions are not actually involving anything truly valuable.
"No wonder they say that many treasures on the second floor must be exchanged for other treasures, implementing a barter system." Lin Yan suddenly understood. "So the treasures on the second floor of Yu Bao Tang that can be purchased with money belong to Yu Bao Tang itself, while those that cannot be purchased with money are actually provided to the Hong Alliance's four-star and above beings as a trading platform."
Among the Universe Venerable, there are some treasures I need and some treasures you need. We can't just shout these things around everywhere, so... just leave the treasure information on this second floor, and those who are interested can contact us on their own. As for the specifics of the transaction, Yu Bao Tang will not interfere or take any profits.
After all, beings of four stars or above have a different status in the Hong Alliance, so they naturally deserve this kind of privilege.
The variety of treasures dazzled Lin Yan.
He thought to himself, "Good brother, it was my fault for saying you were naive earlier. There were a lot of people around before, but now there's no one. I apologize to you."
Looking at it this way, the mongrel is clearly myself.
Lin Yan didn't care at all; on the contrary, he was amused.
At this moment—
"Hello."
"I've never seen you before. You look like a newcomer?" A voice called out from afar.
Lin Yan turned his head and saw that on the second floor of Yu Bao Tang, he was not the only one there, but also a human and an Alien Race walking side by side.
The human had short, blue hair and blue eyes. He wore ordinary battle robes and had ethereal blue markings on his face. His smile made people feel friendly.
"You are... King Meng Sui?" Lin Yan, somewhat surprised.
He had researched the information on all the super figures in the human race. Even though detailed information was often hard to find, at least there were pictures and information.
Among the Immortal Genius cultivated by the human race, these two stand out.
One of them is the King Seven Swords.
The other one stood right before them: King Meng Sui!
