416: Chapter 416 Money really can buy anything!

The entire venue was dead silent, so quiet you could hear a pin drop.

Whether it was Monk Jiese and Jian Buping, who had just woken up looking utterly bewildered, or the other race's Prodigies who had been gloating and waiting for a show, they all looked as if they had been struck by lightning, numb from head to toe.

Their eyes were wide open, jaws dropped, looking like a group of stone statues who had just seen a ghost.

Each person's face was etched with the same bewildered, horrified expression, and a shattered worldview questioning their very existence.

What did they just see?!

This... what the Hell kind of Cultivation Technique was this?!

"This... what evil art is this?!"

Finally, someone broke the deathly silence.

A Winged Race Prodigy from another plane, his pure white wings shedding feathers in fright, his voice trembling like a sieve, his eyes filled with despair and heartache.

"Th-that's a Top-Grade Spirit Stone! Oh my god!"

"It's true essence of heaven and earth!"

"This bastard..."

"He... he actually treated this stuff as a disposable item, throwing it around like grenades?! What an utter waste of heavenly treasures!"

"Prodigal! An ultimate prodigal! He's not burning money, he's burning my life!"

Another Stone Spirit Race expert, whose entire body was made of unknown metal, pounded his chest, which was harder than iron, in anger, his facial features twisted in agony.

He felt his heart bleeding.

Those were Top-Grade Spirit Stones! Yet this Human Race brat, who popped out of some poor place, burned a small mountain's worth in one go!

This was even more painful than being killed directly!

As for the people involved, Hua Nongying, Yue Qinghan, and the others, their brains had completely crashed, a blank slate.

Standing behind Su Chen, they were the closest observers of that "money-powered massacre."

They watched with their own eyes as those powerful other races, who had just brought them despair, were cut down like paper in front of those shimmering golden armored dao soldiers, as if slicing vegetables.

This rollercoaster-like reversal from Hell to heaven, coupled with Su Chen's extravagant demeanor of spending money like dirt, made them feel as if their worldview had been pressed to the ground and scrubbed three times with a steel wool sponge, utterly shattered.

Especially Qian Duoduo.

His small eyes were wider than brass bells, reflecting the dissipating Spirit Stone light particles filling the sky, and he was utterly dumbfounded.

He looked at Su Chen's lazy back.

Then he looked at the other races rolling on the ground.

Then he looked at the golden armored dao soldiers that had turned into light particles and disappeared.

He felt his rock-solid financial philosophy shatter into countless pieces at this moment.

[Using... using money to kill people?]

[This... how the Hell can you play like this?!]

[I, the Young Lord of the Wanbao Pavilion, have played with money my entire life, why didn't I realize this was the correct way to unleash the power of money?!]

[Did I... live my past life in vain?! I understand now, but it feels like I don't fully understand!]

An unprecedented sense of frustration and sudden enlightenment instantly engulfed him.

And just as the entire venue was still immersed in extreme shock, unable to extricate themselves.

Su Chen, the instigator, disdainfully clapped the dust from his hands, as if he hadn't just crushed a group of experts, but a nest of annoying ants.

He looked at the mess on the ground with dissatisfaction.

With a "why don't they eat meat" kind of humble-bragging tone, he said lightly, "Why use your hands for problems that can be solved with money?"

"It's tiring."

After speaking, he turned around, not even bothering to glance at the other races he had half-killed with money.

He walked up to the petrified Qian Duoduo, extended his hand, and gently patted his plump shoulder, his actions full of an elder's earnest advice to a Junior.

Then, in a tone of "even close brothers settle accounts clearly," he righteously declared:

"Put it on my tab."

"This appearance fee is one hundred billion High-Grade Spirit Stones."

"I'll send someone to your Wanbao Pavilion to collect it later."

"I don't like to fight, but I dislike being taken advantage of even more."

Qian Duoduo: "..."

He opened his mouth, ten thousand phrases like "You used Top-Grade Spirit Stones, this exchange rate isn't right" stuck in his throat.

But with the words at his lips, he forcibly swallowed them back, his face turning the color of a pig's liver.

He was afraid that if he said one more word, he would become one of those unlucky fellows on the ground, smashed by money to the point of being unable to care for themselves.

[Hmph, good that you're sensible, kid.]

Su Chen smugly snorted in his heart.

And just as this bloody incident, caused by money, came to an end.

Another anomaly arose!

In the center of the Reception Platform, the colossal Divine Jade Stone Tablet, towering ten thousand feet high, suddenly vibrated violently!

"Buzz—!"

An extremely brilliant golden divine light shot up from the stone tablet, tearing through the darkness and illuminating the entire silent starry sky!

Everyone's gaze was instantly drawn to this astonishing phenomenon.

"It's... it's the ten thousand races prodigy list!"

Someone's voice trembled as they cried out in alarm, their tone filled with awe and fear.

"Oh my god! The ten thousand races prodigy list has been activated!"

"Those who make it onto the ranking are all Prodigies who shake the past and present! This... who is this?!"

"It's that Human Race kid!"

"His 'money-flinging' move just now, the energy fluctuation directly triggered the ranking's sensing!"

Under the gaze of countless astonished eyes.

On the massive stone tablet, lines of golden ancient text rapidly appeared and transformed!

Finally, all the text solidified!

[Detecting super-standard energy fluctuations...]

[Rating: Extremely dangerous! Proceed with caution!]

[Name: Su Chen (Prodigy of the Human Race, Profound Origin Continent)]

[Rank: Ninety-ninth!]
