Chapter 1963: Chapter 1963: How to Compete!

However, regarding Ren Chenghan’s suggestion, Su Chen remained unmoved and simply said:

"He’s not worthy!"

Yet, that one sentence left Ren Chenghan completely dumbfounded!

Because that phrase seemed calm, but in reality, it was more severe than the seemingly insulting words before!

In the inscription path that Xi Lao valued most, Su Chen actually said—you’re not worthy!

This was blatant contempt!

Even Ren Chenghan, who knew of Su Chen’s achievements in inscriptions, thought it was too arrogant!

"Kid, I’ve seen many young people act recklessly, but this is the first time I’ve seen someone as arrogant as you!"

Xi Lao snorted with laughter:

"Fine, I have a 300,000-year-old Soul-Nourishing Flower here. As long as you can beat me, it’s yours!"

The more arrogant Su Chen was, the more Xi Lao wanted to make this young man submit, and it had to be on the path of inscriptions!

He felt that even resorting to force wouldn’t satisfy the frustration in his heart!

"I suppose you know that aside from comprehension of inscriptions, spiritual power is also crucial in the path of inscriptions, and a 300,000-year-old Soul-Nourishing Flower is invaluable for enhancing spiritual power!"

Upon hearing this, Su Chen’s breathing became a bit rapid!

Even without the other party saying it, he understood!

A 300,000-year-old Soul-Nourishing Flower?!

That’s definitely a supreme treasure!

"Kid, if you still refuse, it proves you’re just a fame-seeking scoundrel who somehow deceived Chairman Ren!"

At this moment, Xi Lao spoke again.

"Sure!"

Su Chen’s response was simple and clear!

To be honest, he was indeed tempted by this 300,000-year-old Soul-Nourishing Flower!

But as soon as he said this, it was Xi Lao’s turn to be a bit dumbfounded!

He originally offered this Soul-Nourishing Flower just to expose this young man’s facade!

In fact, he only got this 300,000-year-old Soul-Nourishing Flower by chance and treasured it enormously, not even bearing to use it!

Unexpectedly, this kid actually dared to compete!

Then he thought again, so what if they compete?

Could this young man truly have the ability to win against him?!

This seemed absolutely impossible!

Thinking of this, he calmed down instantly!

"Since you’ve put your stake up, I won’t bully you!"

At this time, Su Chen spoke again. He took out a stack of spirit notes from the Cangyue Ring and said:

"Here are thirty million spirit notes as my wager. If you win, these spirit notes are yours!"

This move directly stunned Ren Chenghan and his assistant Cui Ling!

Thirty million spirit notes are definitely a huge amount!

Their eyes were wide open, they had never seen so much money in their lives!

Even Xi Lao was shocked!

Because even for him, thirty million was an astronomical figure!

Moreover, even if his Soul-Nourishing Flower were auctioned, it couldn’t fetch this much!

In value, it was just around twenty million!

For the first time, he was curious about this young man!

Where did he get so many spirit notes?!

Actually, he didn’t expect the young man to put up a corresponding stake!

On one hand, he took out the Soul-Nourishing Flower as just bait, on the other hand, he didn’t think the opponent had anything of equal value!

Unexpectedly, this young man actually had it, and voluntarily offered it!

He appreciatively glanced at him, thinking, regardless, this character is indeed rare!

"Alright, I accept your wager!"

Xi Lao said firmly:

"Let’s not complicate things, today we’ll just compete directly in inscriptions, what do you think?"

"Fine!"

Su Chen nodded, also preferring it to be simple!

"So, do you want to compete in a specific type of inscription, or just by level?"

Xi Lao continued to ask.

The reason he asked was that there are many types of inscriptions, like artifact refining, beast taming, formations, etc.

Generally, an inscription master would only research one of these!

After all, mastering multiple is not as good as specializing in one!

Moreover, being proficient in even one is already extremely difficult, many spend their entire lives without achieving much on this path!

And the reason he mentioned level is because if the interests are different, it’s impossible to compare!

For instance, how would an artifact refiner, beast tamer, and array master compare?!

This would have to be judged by level!

Luckily, generally speaking, the level already determines the difficulty!

For example, regardless of the type of inscription, higher levels are more challenging than lower levels, so it is basically fair!

"What’s your most proficient type?"

Su Chen asked calmly.

"Artifact refining!"

Xi Lao replied proudly.

Indeed, his achievements in artifact refining were profound, naturally something to be proud of!

Ren Chenghan also nodded, indicating what Xi Lao said was true!

"In that case, let’s compete in artifact refining inscriptions then!"

Su Chen shrugged, casually suggesting.

As soon as he said this, several people were stunned!

They originally thought that by asking what the other party was good at, Su Chen wanted to avoid a certain type of inscription!

If that were the case, he might actually have a chance to win!

However, Xi Lao probably wouldn’t agree either, after all, he wasn’t stupid!

For instance, if he wanted to compete in formations, Xi Lao had never dabbled in formations, how could they compete?!

So, finally, it was likely that Xi Lao would inscribe an artifact refining inscription, while Su Chen would inscribe what he was proficient in, and the two would compare levels!

But unexpectedly, Su Chen also chose artifact refining!

Isn’t this courting death?!

Quickly, they understood!

Perhaps, his proficiency also happened to be in artifact refining!

Especially Ren Chenghan, who couldn’t help but think of the water-type inscription Su Chen had inscribed last time!

Speaking of which, that also belonged to a type of artifact refining inscription, enhancing the agility and flexibility of a weapon!

In this case, it made perfect sense!

"This is your own doing!"

Xi Lao’s eyes flashed with a glimmer as he spoke.

Su Chen’s arrogant demeanor greatly bothered him, and he decided that today he would truly show this kid what the true path of inscriptions was!

At this moment, Cui Ling had already brought two scrolls, laying them out on a table!

"Watch closely!"

Xi Lao walked over with a cold snort.

Then he started inscribing with True Yuan on the scroll!

Soon, the first inscription was completed!

At this time, he noticed that Su Chen next to him hadn’t moved at all, and slightly frowned:

"What are you doing, trying to copy on the spot?!"

Ren Chenghan and Cui Ling were also puzzled by Su Chen’s intentions!

"You do your inscription, why worry about me?!"

Su Chen smirked.

However, as soon as he said this, Xi Lao felt another bout of frustration!

Today, he had lost count of the times this young man had contradicted him, something unimaginable under normal circumstances!
