The Strongest Dandy in the City

Chapter 2459 - 2448: Resource Competition

Looking at the amusing chubby fellow before him.Ye Chenfeng simply smiled to himself.

Wu Gui leapt up, his body suddenly bursting out of the lake, his fat trembling incessantly. He casually dressed himself, and Ye Chenfeng immediately left the lake as well, his spiritual energy slightly circulating, instantly drying his soaked clothes.

Wu Gui had already learned Ye Chenfeng’s name and, patting Ye Chenfeng on the shoulder, said, "Brother Ye, your timing couldn’t be better. In fifteen days, the resource contest of the Six Great Hidden Sects will take place."

"Since it’s your first time here, you probably don’t know about this resource contest. In our small world, resources are limited, but they’re much better than the resources outside in the Ancient Realm."

"Currently, the resources in this small world are almost entirely controlled by the Six Great Hidden Sects. Every few centuries, a resource contest is held."

"Since the strength of the Six Great Hidden Sects is about the same, direct confrontations between sects can lead to mutual destruction. Gradually, this resource contest emerged."

"Each faction sends out their younger generation to participate. Once the final rankings of the resource contest are decided, the resources are redistributed, with the first place receiving the most resources, and so on."

"This resource contest helps avoid large-scale casualties."

After pausing for a moment, Wu Gui continued, "Brother Ye, it’s said that a new event will be added to this resource contest, serving as an appetizer before the official contest."

"Before the official contest begins, the branches of the Six Great Hidden Sects will have a preliminary contest, where the younger generation from the branches will compete against each other. Whoever wins first place in this branch contest will qualify to enter the official contest, which is a golden opportunity for the disciples from each branch of the Six Great Hidden Sects."

"Once you participate in the official contest, regardless of whether you earn a place or not, people from the branches should be able to leave their branches and join the core."

Listening to Wu Gui’s torrent of words, Ye Chenfeng said, "Are you also going to take part in the branch contest of the Six Great Hidden Sects?"

Wu Gui patted his chest, saying, "Of course, this time I must earn a place in the branch contest. Even if I don’t get first place, I want the direct line of the Wus to know there’s someone named Wu Gui in the branch."

Ye Chenfeng had grown increasingly fond of this chubby "turtle." If it was within his ability, he wouldn’t mind lending a hand to Wu Gui.

Now there were fifteen days remaining until the resource contest of the Six Great Hidden Sects.

He would surely encounter people from the Wus and the Jiangs at the resource contest. For now, he wasn’t in a hurry, but he wondered if Wu Lingxiang and Jiang Caixuan had returned here yet.

Under Wu Gui’s guidance.

Ye Chenfeng first followed him to the Wu family’s branch where Wu Gui belonged.

Meanwhile,

In a secluded valley within this small world,

A dazzling white figure and a splendid black figure stood facing each other from afar. Their appearances were two kinds of beauty, the former like a lotus emerging from water, the latter like a vibrant rose.

The white figure, like a lotus emerging from water, was Wu Lingxiang, and the black figure, like a vibrant rose, was Jiang Caixuan.

After they were separated from Ye Chenfeng and others, they had been diligently searching for traces of Ye Chenfeng and the others. Eventually, they received messages from their families to return immediately, as the resource contest was approaching.

With no other choice,

Wu Lingxiang and Jiang Caixuan had to return to their families, yet they hadn’t given up searching for Ye Chenfeng and the others.

The Wu family specializes in alchemy, while the Jiang family specializes in artifact refining, thus the Medicine Saint Hall and the Wus are closely linked, as are the Artifact Saint Hall and the Jiangs. They both issued the highest orders to the Medicine Saint Hall and the Artifact Saint Hall before returning to their families.

Back when Chang Baiwu and his group clashed with Ye Chenfeng, despite receiving the highest orders from the Wus, because Ye Chenfeng had killed Chang Baiwu’s disciples, they didn’t immediately report the encounter with Ye Chenfeng.

So, Wu Lingxiang and Jiang Caixuan currently didn’t know about Ye Chenfeng’s appearance.

After a long silence,

Jiang Caixuan spoke, "Wu Lingxiang, the other sects have prepared well for this resource contest. The top talents in their sects might not be much weaker than us. Are you prepared?"

Wu Lingxiang replied coldly, "They’re just a bunch of petty criminals, only skilled in underhanded tricks. This time, the first place in the resource contest is mine."

"That might not be the case. I, Jiang Caixuan, have already reserved the first place," Jiang Caixuan countered unapologetically.

Then she sighed, "It would be great if Ye Chenfeng were here. If he could represent our Jiang family in the contest, the other sects’ geniuses might not even be worthy to carry his shoes. With his strength, he could absolutely sweep them away. I wonder at what level his strength is now?"

Wu Lingxiang nodded, "Ye Chenfeng is indeed an enigmatic fellow."

"But, after stepping into the Divine King Realm, even a small improvement is extremely difficult. We haven’t been apart for long, so I doubt his strength has increased that quickly."

Jiang Caixuan agreed with Wu Lingxiang, for once one enters the Divine King Realm, enhancing one’s strength is different than before. Even for extraordinary geniuses, rapid improvement is unlikely at that level.

Jiang Caixuan said, "With Ye Chenfeng’s capabilities, I’m sure nothing will happen to him. We’ve seen him create many miracles before, though he probably won’t make it in time for our resource contest."

"Wu Lingxiang, Ye Chenfeng is destined to be my man."

Wu Lingxiang retorted without backing down, "Jiang Caixuan, Ye Chenfeng is my man; he’s the one I fancy. If I miss him, I might never find another man who makes me willingly bow down."

"Me too. Let’s rely on our abilities then!"

"However, before that, I’ll first surpass you in the resource contest. We both must admit that no one can match Ye Chenfeng’s talent. To be his woman, one must be the best, and I am the one who suits him best."

Jiang Caixuan’s lips curved into a beautiful and charming smile.

If the younger generation in this small world knew that Jiang Caixuan and Wu Lingxiang were competing for a man, they’d probably choke on their own saliva. Who here didn’t know that these two women were proud and looked down on all men?
