Can't Level Up? Then You're Trash!

At this moment, accompanied by the calm voice of Li Jingzhe.

Everyone present was filled with suspicion and uncertainty, which soon erupted into an uproar...

When the crowd heard that the Lesser Restoration Pill cost 500,000 Gold Soul Coin and might increase soul power slightly, they only frowned slightly;

When they heard that the Snake Gallbladder cost 5,000,000 Gold Soul Coin and could increase soul power by one level while boosting physical strength, they couldn't help but show expressions of astonishment;

But when they heard that the Greater Restoration Pill cost 25,000,000 and guaranteed a minimum increase of five levels of soul power...

"What the... how much?"

"Twenty-five million? Gold Soul Coin? For one pill?"

They had been somewhat expectant initially, but once the price of 25,000,000 Gold Soul Coin came out, it killed the mood instantly!

No other reason, it was just too absurd!

So much so that even the previous two items, which weren't that outrageous, started to feel surreal.

"Wait... what does 'might increase soul power slightly' mean? Does that mean it might increase, or it might not?"

"Damn, isn't this just scamming people... If I buy it, eat it, and my soul power doesn't increase, can he just say it's our bad luck?"

"A waste of time, I shouldn't have come... This is just cheating fools..."

"To hell with your so-called holy product... You actually believe this? Increasing soul power? Hey, you over there, why don't you say that eating one of these makes you a Title Douluo directly?"

"Tell me, is your pill made of gold? Or is the bottle made of gold? Twenty-five million, you really have the nerve to open your mouth!"

"You must be crazy for money!"

Twenty-five million, that's enough to hire several Soul Saints or even Soul Douluo to hunt a soul beast over 50,000 years old, and it would be a guaranteed success with a refund if they failed!!

Even Dugu Yan and Ye Lingling had a flash of surprise in their eyes. After all, the idea that a single pill or a single Snake Gallbladder could increase soul power upon consumption was truly unheard of...

"Heh..."

An abrupt laugh rang out from behind the crowd.

A young man with light golden hair strode forward...

Unlike the other team members, a Snowflake Pendant hung from his belt, with tassels dangling beneath it—the mark of a member of the Heaven Dou Imperial Family.

"Xue, Prince Xue Feng?!"

This was the son of Prince Xue Xing!!

Without needing the three lackey-like youths beside him to clear a path, the crowd had already retreated to both sides on their own.

"You just said, that Greater Restoration Pill, it guarantees a minimum increase of how many levels of soul power?"

He snapped his folding fan shut, rubbed his ear with the handle, his face full of mockery and his eyes filled with disbelief.

"Xue Feng, you..."

Dugu Yan frowned, about to speak.

But Li Jingzhe raised a hand to stop her. He glanced at this so-called Prince Xue Feng, the little blond, showing not a shred of respect, and said indifferently: "Five levels!"

"Mm, five levels!"

Xue Feng chuckled and asked again: "And no side effects? It can even heal wounds?"

"Correct!" Li Jingzhe nodded as if it were a matter of course.

"Heh..."

Xue Feng laughed, but his eyes were filled with coldness: "Kid, there's a limit to how much you can spout nonsense! In this world, there are many things that can increase soul power slightly, and it's not like there aren't things that can increase it by several levels! This Prince has eaten those things before! But you dare to claim a guaranteed increase of five levels? And it can heal wounds? And no side effects!? Kid, are you taking me for a fool?"

By the end, Xue Feng was radiating cold killing intent, and the pressure of someone long accustomed to high status bore down on Li Jingzhe like a landslide.

Everyone present didn't dare to breathe.

Although Xue Feng was only a prince, he was fundamentally different from these nobles.

Even Dugu Yan frowned at this moment.

Just as she was thinking about how to resolve the awkwardness...

"Take it if you want, get lost if you don't!" Li Jingzhe snorted coldly, not indulging him in the slightest.

In an instant, the atmosphere in the room became even more stagnant.

Good grief...

In this Heaven Dou City, who dared to speak to a prince like that? That was simply having a death wish...

What a bold kid...

Absolutely daring.

Subconsciously, everyone looked at Xue Feng again.

However, the expected anger did not appear. Xue Feng merely narrowed his eyes, suddenly pulled out a Black Gold Card, and said playfully: "Twenty-five million, this Prince has it! But what if I eat it and don't level up five times?!"

Li Jingzhe said indifferently: "If you can't level up, that just means you're trash."

"Hey!"

"Kid, you're getting a bit ahead of yourself, aren't you? Is that any way to speak to Prince Xue Feng?"

Off to the side, a few lackeys couldn't stand it any longer and immediately wanted to teach Li Jingzhe a lesson.

However, Prince Xue Feng snapped his fan shut, stopping them. He stared at Li Jingzhe and said eerily, "Kid, you're quite arrogant, aren't you? Even more arrogant than this Prince?"

"Oh, and then what?" Li Jingzhe retorted.

Xue Feng choked, then laughed in anger. "Good kid, you're not bad. You're more interesting than anyone else I've ever met!"

He sneered and suddenly ordered his lackeys, "Break his legs! Keep him alive! I want to watch him beg for scraps in Heaven Dou City!"

As the words fell...

Those lackeys had long been unable to restrain themselves.

They cracked their knuckles and loosened their joints, grinning hideously at Li Jingzhe. "Kid, you had your chance, but you didn't cherish it! Of all the people to provoke, you dared to provoke Prince Xue Feng!"

"In the past, someone like you would have been chopped up and fed to the dogs. Prince Xue Feng is sparing your pathetic life today; why aren't you thanking him for his mercy?!"

The three lackeys formed a pincer formation, slowly surrounding Li Jingzhe.

Li Jingzhe glanced at Prince Xue Feng.

But before he could say anything...

"Enough!"

A sharp, feminine cry suddenly rang out.

Dugu Yan stepped forward, her eyes filled with intensity. Her vertical pupils locked onto Xue Feng as she said in a low voice, "Xue Feng, stop while you're ahead!"

Xue Feng frowned.

At this moment, the previous lackey snorted coldly, "Senior Dugu, who is really being unreasonable here? The Prince already gave this kid a chance, but he didn't know what was good for him! What? Are you going to make an enemy of the Heaven Dou Imperial Family for his sake?"

Dugu Yan's willow-leaf brows furrowed.

Just then, Xue Feng suddenly spoke up, "If you spout any more nonsense, I'll have your tongue cut out when we get back!"

The lackey shrank his neck in fear and hurriedly shut his mouth.

Only then did Xue Feng smile and look at Dugu Yan. "Miss Dugu, you saw it yourself! This Prince asked nicely, but what kind of attitude is this kid giving me? If it weren't for your sake, I wouldn't even glance at a place like this."

Dugu Yan felt helpless.

She knew Li Jingzhe's temper.

Heaven knows where this guy gets his confidence from. He doesn't respect the strong, let alone imperial authority. It was one thing for him to be indifferent to her, the granddaughter of a Title Douluo, but now he was even worse toward Prince Xue Feng...

That was a Prince, after all, representing the imperial family on the surface.

Even if you don't treat him with the reverence of a commoner, could you at least not wear such a sour face?

With this indifferent attitude, how is he supposed to do business?

"Alright, everyone, give me some face!"

Dugu Yan mediated from the center, signaling to Li Jingzhe with her eyes before finally saying, "Since everyone here was brought by me, I'll vouch for them!"

As she spoke, she took out a Black Gold Card and said to Li Jingzhe, "Give me a Greater Restoration Pill!"
