After returning to the Rose Hotel, Ye Liangchen checked out of the hotel, put on a bamboo hat, and headed towards the neighboring province of Fasno.

While passing a street, Ye Liangchen glanced casually and found a store with a hammer and sword logo above the door. It was obviously a soul master store.

Hey! Could this be the antique shop of Four-eyed Cat Owl Flanders? At this time, Ye Liangchen remembered that Tang San got a piece of hair crystal in Flanders' antique shop and made a lethal dragon whisker needle. The thing was as thin as a hair. Once it pierced into the body, it would quickly shrink into a ball, causing unbearable pain. In severe cases, it would kill the person who was hit.

The dragon beard needle is as thin as a hair, making it hard to defend against. It is a real killing weapon, especially for a master of hidden weapons like Tang San, it is like a fish in water.

We cannot let that guy get this thing, otherwise in future competitions, if the opponent can't afford to lose and gets hot-headed, he might use this hidden weapon to hurt the girl next to you, and that would be bad.

Under the influence of the little rabbit, Tang San has a perverted desire to protect the little rabbit. Once the little rabbit is hurt, he will immediately lose his mind and use all kinds of dirty tricks, regardless of the consequences.

Yu Xiaogang has been brainwashing Tang San for a long time, saying that he is the world's number one genius, which makes him have a perverted sense of superiority. Once he fails, he will also become mentally debilitated.

When fighting with others, that guy always has an attitude of "I can hit you but you can't hit me", as if the whole world has to revolve around him.

Thinking of this, Ye Liangchen took a step forward and walked into the antique shop, intending to take the plate crystal away in advance. Although he didn't need it, he definitely couldn't leave it to Tang San.

“Crack…”

As soon as Ye Liangchen pushed open the wooden door of the shop and walked into the store, all kinds of ancient scents immediately hit his nose, some of which even had a fishy smell, as if they had just been dug out of the ground.

Then I saw a middle-aged man wearing glasses, dozing off in a rocking chair. This man was the four-eyed owl Flanders.

"You can choose whatever you want, and the price is fair."

Flanders saw a young man wearing a bamboo hat coming into his shop. He raised his head and said something lightly, then pretended to lie down with a cunning look in his eyes.

Ye Liangchen glanced at the items in the store. They were all insignificant old items, and some storage soul guides, but they were slightly damaged and worthless. There were also a few old items on the table, one of which was a slightly yellowed transparent crystal with many golden threads inside, which should be a plate crystal.

"Boss, how much is this crystal? I want it."

Ye Liangchen pointed directly at the crystal plate on the table and asked Flanders, wanting to see how this profiteer would react.

"100 gold soul coins, no bargaining."

When Flanders heard that a business had come to him and that the other party was interested in the broken crystal, he was overjoyed and tentatively called out a price.

"Okay, here are 100 gold soul coins. I'll buy this crystal."

Ye Liangchen knew that Flanders was trying to trick him, but he didn't care about just 100 gold soul coins, so he took out a small bag of gold soul coins from his soul guide, threw it on the table, picked up the plate crystal, turned around and left.

"Wait! You don't have enough money. My crystal will cost 500 gold soul coins."

Just as Ye Liangchen picked up the plate crystal stone on the table, Flanders' treacherous and cunning voice sounded again.

Originally, Flanders casually asked for 100 gold soul coins, but he didn't expect the other party to really offer this price. He immediately knew that this guy was a rich man and planned to make a lot of money from him.

"Boss, you don't keep your word?" Ye Liangchen pretended to be surprised. He had long known that Flanders was a profiteer and liar.

"My crystal is only worth 500 gold soul coins. It's up to you to take it or not."

Seeing that the young man was willing to pay 100 gold soul coins, Flanders concluded that the boy must need this crystal, so he thought that the other party would definitely continue to pay.

"Boss, the price is 500 gold soul coins, right? You are not allowed to regret it."

Ye Liangchen didn't care about the 500 gold soul coins, so he took out another 400 gold soul coins and threw them on the table, picked up the crystal and left.

"Wait a minute, my crystal is now worth 2,000 gold soul coins."

When Flanders saw the kid taking out another 400 gold soul coins, he didn't even blink. He thought this was definitely a big fat sheep and a chance to make a fortune. If he didn't make a lot of money, how could he live up to his character as a profiteer? So he directly raised the price to 2,000 gold soul coins.

"Boss, you don't have integrity in doing business. You plan to do a one-time deal, so you can cheat as many people as possible!"

Ye Liangchen was speechless. He knew from the novel that this guy was shameless, but he didn't expect him to be so shameless as to directly raise the price from 500 to 2000.

"My crystal is only worth this much. Since you are also a soul master, if you don't have enough money, you can pay 500 first, and the rest can be paid in 10 gold soul coins every month. However, you have to pay 10% interest."

Flanders continued to act shameless, determined to make some money from this guy today.

"My elders mentioned to me that there is a four-eyed profiteer in Soto City. Today, I saw that it is true. How can you be a profiteer? You are simply a shameless liar."

"Is Flanders, the four-eyed cat-owl and one of the golden triangle, the dean of Shrek Academy, really like this?"

Ye Liangchen was too lazy to beat around the bush and directly revealed the other party's identity. Anyway, the safety of his chicken-eating king HK416 had been opened and he could take it out at any time to deal with the crisis. He was not afraid of Flanders bullying the weak.

"Huh! Who are you? How do you know my identity?" Flanders was stunned, and a powerful aura burst out from his body.

“Swish, swish, swish…”

However, Ye Liangchen immediately thought of another idea, so he spoke directly to Flanders.

"Uncle Four Eyes, are you planning to bully the weak? If you attack me, the consequences will be serious."

"We met at the Rose Hotel three years ago. At that time, you even tried to trick me into entering Shrek Academy! If you attack me, you will definitely end up in a miserable situation."

Hearing the young man reveal his identity directly, Flanders was immediately stunned, so he immediately restrained his breath.

He immediately stood up from the chair, staring at the young man in front of him with a pair of eagle eyes. When he saw the ordinary face under the bamboo hat, he felt something was wrong. It was obvious that this boy was disguising his appearance.

"Uncle with four eyes? You are the boy from three years ago."

Although Flanders didn't know Ye Liangchen's true identity, he was impressed by him. Three years ago, this kid beat Dai Mubai to the ground without even using his martial spirit. He was definitely a genius.

"Uncle Four Eyes, how can you, a level 78 Soul Saint, do such a deceitful thing? And you want to bully a weak Soul Master like me."

Ye Liangchen directly revealed Flanders’ strength level, making the other party feel that he was not alone and that there must be a strong person protecting him in secret.

"Hey! Boy, I didn't ask for your money. I'm giving you this crystal. Don't say anything nonsense."

"Besides, your strength has reached the Soul Master level, how can you be weak?"

Flanders felt a little embarrassed, this kid could know his strength level at once, and his eyes were calm, as if everything was under control. There must be a Soul Douluo expert following him in secret, so he quickly gave the crystal away, hoping that the kid would leave quickly.

"I don't like to owe favors to others, so I'll give you 100 gold soul coins based on the price you bid the first time."

Seeing that Flanders did not make things difficult for him, Ye Liangchen put away four bags of gold soul coins and the crystal on the table and only left one bag.

"Boy, from the fluctuations of your soul power, I can feel that your strength has reached the high-level soul master. It's amazing. Do you want to come to our Shrek Academy? Our academy is very suitable for monster geniuses like you."

Flanders used his soul power to quietly feel Ye Liangchen's strength, and was immediately shocked by the soul power of this little guy. He became more curious about the identity of this little guy and very much hoped that this little guy would join his academy.

"Uncle Four Eyes, I haven't even entered your academy yet, and I've already been deceived by you. If I go to your academy, I will definitely be deceived by you."

"My elders have sent a message to me, I have to go. Uncle Four Eyes, don't do such deceitful things in the future. Be careful if you meet other strong people one day, they will definitely beat you into a pig's head."

Ye Liangchen did not tell Flanders about his strength and walked out of the antique shop directly.

Flanders was a well-known person for his insidiousness and cunningness. Ye Liangchen originally thought that he would make things difficult for him, but he did not expect that once he revealed the other party's strength level, Flanders would immediately surrender. However, the other party was also frightened by his calm expression. He really thought that he had a Soul Douluo to protect him.

After Ye Liangchen came out of the antique shop, he quickly left the street and found that Flanders did not chase him, so he finally breathed a sigh of relief.

Flanders walked out of the store and watched the young man disappear. He said to himself, "This guy is so young, but he knows how to hide his shortcomings. He has a lot of experience in the martial arts world. He is really a talent."

Originally, Flanders wanted to check Ye Liangchen's martial soul and soul ring, but when the other party released his soul power, he still acted calmly, which made Flanders give up the idea.

Ye Liangchen spent a few gold soul coins at an inn and bought a fine horse to use as a mount. He then galloped along the official road towards the province of Fasno.

A few hours later, they finally left Soto City. Ye Liangchen sold the horse to an inn and then slowly moved forward along the official road.

"Now that we have the crystal, Tang San won't be able to act cool when he joins Shrek Academy. He will definitely be defeated by Zhao Wuji during the assessment, and he may even be seriously injured."

"If Tang San is seriously injured, Tang Dachui will definitely be upset, and Zhao Wuji will probably be seriously injured as well."

"In this way, Zhao Wuji may very well harbor resentment towards Tang San in the future, which would be very interesting."

In the evening, Ye Liangchen was eating roasted rabbit meat in the forest, thinking that he could make a difference in the future just by changing some small things, and he felt like a villain.

Hehehehe…! Really good.

Thinking of this, Ye Liangchen was in a good mood, so he took out the plate crystal, placed it on a hard stone, attached it to its surface with soul power, then grabbed a big stone and smashed it directly on the crystal.

"Bang…"

“Crack…”

The plate crystal was shattered by this attack, and many golden threads floated out, quickly forming small beads that splashed everywhere.

“Swish, swish, swish…”

Ye Liangchen activated the Five Elements Mysterious Steps and quickly grabbed this part of the metal particles in his hand, while most of the other particles fell into the cracks between the stones.

Ye Liangchen didn't care about those golden particles. He didn't need such hidden weapons anyway.
