Chapter 133: Battle for the Treasure

The moment Ji Chen's fingers touched the crystal, a warm current surged into his body, as if a long drought had met sweet rain.

This treasure lived up to its reputation; the energy it contained could simply be described as "damn."

However, before he could feel it carefully, the eyes of those Ability Users who had previously feared his strength began to turn greedy, looking just like hungry wolves seeing a bone.

"Heh, kid, your strength is indeed good, but this treasure is not something you can swallow alone." A sharp-mouthed, monkey-cheeked guy jumped out first, his face full of hypocritical smiles, and the few people beside him echoed him, clearly having planned this long ago.

A suffocating sense of tension permeated the air. Ji Chen could clearly feel countless pairs of eyes staring at him like flies stuck to prey, their naked desire almost overflowing.

"Exactly, seeing it means having a share! You eating alone, isn't that a bit unauthentic?" Another voice sounded, carrying a hint of threat.

The surrounding Ability Users chattered one after another, like a group of buzzing flies, making Ji Chen's brain ache.

"This kid, actually frowning? Thinking he's amazing? With so many of us, even one spit each could drown him!" A fierce-looking, burly man said viciously, clenching his fists, his joints emitting a crackling sound. Other Ability Users also revealed their weapons one after another, all kinds of Supernatural Ability light flickering uncertainly, the atmosphere instantly becoming tense, as if a chaotic battle would break out in the next second.

Ji Chen looked around; these guys were truly a group of ungrateful wolves. Just now they were all scared like quails, and now they showed their fangs when they saw the treasure?

He clenched his fists tightly, his knuckles emitting a crisp sound, a strong fighting spirit burning in his body.

Want to grab things from his hands?

Heh, not a chance!

"Want it? Sure, then..." Ji Chen's lips curled into a meaningful smile, dangerous light flickering in his eyes. Just when everyone thought he would strictly refuse, he suddenly stopped, a hint of elusive meaning in his eyes. "Then..."

"... let's play a game." The smile on Ji Chen's lips deepened, but his eyes were as cold as a knife.

Everyone looked at each other; what kind of medicine was this kid selling in his gourd?

Just now he looked like he was going to fight, and now he suddenly wants to play a game?

This speed of changing faces was faster than turning a book.

"What game?" The sharp-mouthed guy asked cautiously, fearing this was a trap.

"A very simple game," Ji Chen picked up an item from the treasure pile at random. It was a pendant with an ancient style, looking plain and unremarkable. "Use it, to trade for your information."

Everyone was even more confused. Just this?

Using a piece of junk that they didn't know the use of, wanting to trade for the information they had worked so hard to find?

Was this kid's brain short-circuited?

"What's the use of this thing?" The burly man asked in a muffled voice, his tone full of disdain.

Ji Chen didn't explain, just tossing the pendant to the sharp-mouthed guy.

This guy caught it subconsciously. The pendant felt warm and moist, and a strange energy instantly surged into his body. He felt his Supernatural Ability as if it had been activated, becoming more active, and his strength also increased quite a bit.

"Damn! This..." The sharp-mouthed guy widened his eyes, a look of disbelief on his face. His gaze toward Ji Chen also changed, from the previous greed to awe.

Seeing this, others also revealed longing expressions one after another.

This pendant could actually increase Supernatural Ability?

This was simply a treasure!

"Now, can you tell me the information you know?" Ji Chen asked lightly, his tone carrying a hint of unquestionable majesty.

The sharp-mouthed guy immediately spilled everything he knew like beans from a bamboo tube, and others also scrambled to share their information, fearing they would fall behind.

Ji Chen listened while observing the reactions of the crowd calmly, the smile on his lips gradually deepening.

It seems this game was even more interesting than he had imagined.

He picked up another item at random, a ring with a strange shape. "This one, trade for..."

"Me! I know an important piece of information!" An Ability User who had been silent suddenly shouted, fanatical light flickering in their eyes.

Ji Chen raised an eyebrow. "Let's hear it."

Before that Ability User could finish speaking, a black shadow suddenly rushed out, heading straight for the ring in Ji Chen's hand!

This sudden turn of events stunned everyone, even Ji Chen was slightly surprised.

Good guy, someone actually dared to play dirty?

Ji Chen sneered. Having been prepared, he dodged the attack sideways and backhanded a punch into the black shadow's stomach.

"Bang!" With a muffled sound, the black shadow flew backward like a kite with a broken string, crashing heavily to the ground and spitting out a mouthful of old blood.

"Is that it? Still want to sneak attack?" Ji Chen curled his lips in disdain, and the surrounding Ability Users gasped one after another upon seeing this.

Damn, this kid's reaction is too fast, right?

And this strength, simply terrifying!

Just now he looked harmless, and now he was as fierce as a beast!

"Anyone else not convinced? Feel free to come up and try!" Ji Chen looked around, his eyes sharp as knives. Those Ability Users who had been restless instantly subsided, one after another shrinking their necks, not even daring to breathe loudly.

Just kidding, even the one who sneak-attacked was taken out in one punch; wouldn't they just be sending their heads if they went up?

Ceng Yue stood by Ji Chen's side, watching everything that happened. She held Ji Chen's hand tightly, silently conveying support and encouragement.

Ji Chen felt her warmth, a warm current surging in his heart.

Just when Ji Chen thought the matter was resolved and was preparing to leave with Ceng Yue, the Ability Treasure suddenly emitted a strange fluctuation.

This fluctuation spread out like ripples, carrying a mysterious and ancient aura, as if it were summoning something...

"This..." Ji Chen looked at the fluctuation emitted by the treasure, his brow slightly furrowed, a sense of foreboding rising in his heart. "It seems... something is coming..." ===== CHAPTER 134 =====
