Chapter 24: Seeking Death!

Yu raised his right palm."Hum!"A beam of light flashed.The outline of a long spear appeared in his hand as well."Buzz buzz buzz..."A sound of clanging resonated.Soon, the long spear in Fang Yu's hand...Tang Xiaorou's face was full of excitement, she finally had the chance to get back at Fang Yu.

"What was your highest score on a mock exam in the past" Fang Yu asked.

Tang Xiaorou beamed with pride and said, "I scored 709 on my highest exam, which made me the top student in the key class!"

Fang Yu let out an 'oh' and said, "So, as long as I score above 710, I can beat you. To be safe, let's aim for 715."

"Hmph! You really think you can just casually score 700 If you could really score that high, I wouldn't care what you do!" Tang Xiaorou puffed out her chest defiantly.

Fang Yu glanced at Tang Xiaorou, but didn't speak.

Tang Xiaorou also felt that the previous sentence was a bit ambiguous. Her face flushed, and she turned her head to continue studying.

She has to win this bet! She needs to crush Fang Yu's arrogance!

Otherwise, Fang Yu always acts like he's so amazing, it's unbearable!

After morning reading time, students need to separate their desks a certain distance apart in preparation for the mock exam.

Taking advantage of this time, Tang Xiaorou found Liu Fatty and asked: "Liu Dong, how are Fang Yu's usual exam scores"

Looking closely at Tang Xiaorou's face, Liu Fatty felt a bit nervous and said, "He, he always ranks around 30th in the class for every exam."

Thirty

There are sixty students in this class in total, so Fang Yu's scores are just average in Class Two.

Class Two, as an ordinary class, the best student's score would not exceed 650 points.

Fang Yu could only rank around 30th in this class. To score 715 on the exam was like a daydream for him.

After realizing this, Tang Xiaorou felt completely at ease.

The exam will begin soon, and the first subject to be tested is Chinese.

When Tang Xiaorou took the exam, she was more careful and serious than any other time before. She had to get a high score so that she could show off her grades in front of Fang Yu.

Before starting to write the composition, Tang Xiaorou secretly glanced at Fang Yu who was not far away.

Only to see Fang Yu was lying on the table at this time, seemingly asleep.

< Humph! Just like that, you think you can beat me! In your dreams! >

Tang Xiaorou no longer paid attention to Fang Yu, she focused on writing her composition.

After the Chinese exam, the next subject was math.

Math is Tang Xiaorou's strong point. She can always score above 140 on every exam.

When taking the math exam, Tang Xiaorou observed Fang Yu again and found that Fang Yu had only been working for about half an hour before falling asleep on the table.

It seems Fangyu has directly given up on the remaining calculation problems and application problems, what a loser!

This afternoon, Fang Yu took the comprehensive and English exams, just like the previous two subjects, finishing only half an hour before falling asleep.

After finishing the exam and school was out, Tang Xiaorou moved her seat back to its original position.

"Fang Yu, with your lazy attitude, how could you possibly get good grades" Tang Xiaorou looked at Fang Yu, who was sleepy-eyed, and said in a tone of exasperation.

She originally thought Fang Yu would at least take the bet seriously, but she didn't expect Fang Yu to be sleeping the whole time.

This left her a bit deflated. Even if she won, there wasn't much to feel happy about.

Fang Yu didn't pay attention to Tang Xiaorou's emotions, got up and prepared to go home, but the phone in his pocket vibrated.

Fang Yu took out his phone. It was Tang Mingde who called.

"Master Fang, Tang Si has found some information about the demon beast's inner pill," Tang Mingde said.

"Where is it" Fang Yu asked.

"At a martial artist's underground auction, he heard that the item being auctioned today was a demon beast's inner pill. If Dr. Fang is interested, I can have Tang Si take you there. He's already waiting for Xiaorou at the school gate." Tang Mingde said.

"Good." Fang Yu agreed.

……

Fang Yu and Tang Xiaorou got into Tang Si's car together.

"Mr. Fang, may I first send Miss home and then go to the auction house with you " Tang Si asked respectfully.

Since witnessing Fang Yu's impressive skills in the village, Tang Si's attitude towards him has changed.

"Okay, I don't want her to go either." Fang Yu said.

"Where are you going Why can't I go too!" Tang Xiaorou reacted and asked urgently.

"Miss, I'm going to take Mr. Fang to an underground martial arts auction. It's a den of vipers, with all sorts of people there. Miss, you're just a girl, it's best not to set foot there." Tang Si said.

Tang Xiaorou bit her lip, a little unwilling.

But she also knew Tang Si wouldn't lie to her, so she didn't push any further.

After sending Tang Xiaorou back to the Tang family, Tang Si and Fang Yu went to the underground auction house.

This auction house serves martial artists exclusively, holding at least two auctions each month.

The auction house was located in a rather remote area, on abandoned land on the outskirts of Jianghai City.

There is a somewhat dilapidated building on this lot, which is where the auction will be held.

The open space in front of the building was occupied by numerous cars, including some luxury vehicles worth millions on the market.

"What currency is used for transactions at this auction" Fang Yu asked.

"Just like the money we use every day, there's no special currency." Tang Si replied.

Fang Yu recalled over four thousand years ago, back then the auction was all about trading with spirit stones.

Walking into the auction house, Fang Yu saw nearly a hundred cultivators.

These cultivators were all at the Qi Refining Stage, with the highest no more than the tenth level of Qi Refining, and the lowest only at the third level.

“This auction usually auctions some elixir, rare medicinal herbs, and weapons.” Tang Si introduced.

As they were talking, Tang Si led Fang Yu to a seat in the back row and said, "There are no rules at this auction. Just find a seat when you arrive. When the auction begins, shout your price if you're interested in an item. The highest bidder gets it. You can pay on the spot after the deal is made. You can also leave anytime you want."

"Not bad," Fang Yu nodded, but he suddenly remembered, he seemed to have not brought any money.

"Master Tang has already instructed me, if there is a monster core, no matter the price, he wants you to bid for it." Tang Si seemed to know what Fang Yu was going to say and said it in advance.

"Then thank you, Master Tang." Fang Yu said.

The auction will begin soon.

"The first item up for auction today is Yanglong Dan, refined by Master Wu, the renowned herbalist from Huaibei. It has the effect of..." The auctioneer on stage energetically introduced.

Fang Yu only understood after hearing the explanation that this so-called Yanglong Pill was actually a Viagra.

This Viagra, it actually sold for 300,000 yuan! It was bought by an elderly man with white hair and who looked like he didn't have much time left.

Fanyu felt a little speechless. This auction house really had all kinds of people.

The next few auction items were all kinds of elixirs and weapons. To Fang Yu, they were all trash.

"The next item up for auction, brought back by a master after braving countless perils, is a monster core!" the auctioneer boomed.

Then, the monster's inner pill was presented on the stage.

A dark red, fist-sized monster core.

Fifth-order monster's inner core!

Feeling the aura emanating from the Neidan, Fang Yu immediately became excited.

He hadn't seen such a high-grade monster core in many years!

If Fang Yu swallows this inner elixir, he might be able to break through two or three more levels!

Must take a picture!

"Monster beast inner pills, you might think they're useless, only good for collecting, but in fact, grinding them into powder and using them as medicine has excellent results for strengthening the body…" the auctioneer introduced.

"A million!" Fang Yu shouted immediately before the auctioneer could finish his introduction.

A gasp echoed around.

This demonic beast's inner core doesn't even have a clear practical value, and someone actually bid 1 million for it.

"One million five thousand." It was a deep voice.

Following the sound, everyone saw a rugged-looking middle-aged man.

"The bidder turned out to be Takeshi!"

"Damn, what's the point of arguing then Just give it to him."

"That kid definitely won't dare to bid anymore, or else he'll be making an enemy of Tiger Wu"

Whispers circulated around, and many cast amused glances at Fang Yu.

Takeo's offer of only 50,000 was actually a warning to Fangyu, telling him not to raise the price any further.

If Fang Yu dared to continue raising the price, he would probably provoke Wu Xiong's revenge.

"Who is this person" Fang Yu asked.

Tang Si's face darkened as he said, "This man is called Wu Xiong. He is a martial artist at the tenth level of the Innate realm, with immense strength and an extremely arrogant personality. He has a notorious reputation in the martial arts world of Jiang Hai City!"

Mr. Fang, this monster core, we're probably going to have to give it to him first and then buy it back from him at a high price...

"No need for that, just take a picture." Fang Yu said faintly.

"Two million!" Fang Yu shouted.

There was an uproar all around.

The auctioneer was extremely excited.

For auction houses, someone like Musashi is a thorn in their side, constantly diminishing their profits. However, due to his overwhelming strength, the auction houses dare not offend him.

If KeFangYu actively raises the price, then it's none of their auction house's business.

"Um"

Muge's brows furrowed as he looked towards Fang Yu's position.

Fang Yu smiled faintly at him.

"You're asking for death." Takeo grinned cruelly, stopping his bidding.

The warriors present were discussing amongst themselves.

"It's over, Tiger Wu has decided to kill!"

"That kid is only at the fifth level of Qi Refinement. What family's child is he How dare he offend even Wu Tiger"

He's equivalent to spending two million to help Bu Xiong buy that monster core, and he might even have to risk his life! What a blood loss!

Fan Yu looked at Tang Si, whose face was pale beside him, and said, "You should have brought enough two million, right"

"I brought enough money, but…" Tang Si hesitated, feeling that Fang Yu was impulsive. Offending Wu Xiong would have dire consequences.

The original best solution would have been for Mu Xiong to take the demon beast's inner core, and then buy it back from him at a high price.

After all, monster beast inner pills hold no value for other martial artists, only Fang Yu urgently needs them.

"Mr. Fang, though gifted, is still a bit too young and impetuous." Tang Si sighed inwardly.

He knew Fang Yu was skilled, but he was definitely no match for Wu Xiong.

Musuo is so arrogant because his strength surpasses that of ordinary warriors by a significant margin.

Even among those who share his innate tenth-segment warrior status, few could stand against him.

Let me know if you have any other text you'd like translated!Yu didn't speak, just stared straight at Empress Xiao Yue.Empress Xiaoyue's gaze did not waver, meeting Fang Yu's eyes directly."The Empress doesn't wonder why the Demon Emperor trusts me so much" Fan...
