Chapter 257 - Chapter 257: Provocation

A very powerful one-time teleportation talisman.

However, its price was also terrifying.

A single cross-continental teleportation talisman required a full 100,000 points!

This meant that one talisman would require at least two years of Li Shuang's effort!

This was already due to her possessing the Heaven and Earth Furnace, which made her efficiency in hunting soul beasts exceptionally high. If it were anyone else, gathering 100,000 points would take an unknown number of years!

In addition to this.

There was also the even more frightening blueprint for a cross-continental teleportation array!

After purchasing the blueprint, one could set up a large formation on another continent, allowing anyone who entered the formation to instantly arrive at the Central Continent.

However.

The blueprint alone cost a full 500,000 points.

This didn't even include the resources needed to set up the array!

To gather all the resources required for the array, it would cost at least another 500,000 points.

A cross-continental teleportation array would cost no less than a million points!

A million points!

Did Youlan, the number one on the Genius Ranking, even have that many points?

Li Shuang looked at this figure, her scalp tingling slightly.

Her gaze lingered on this teleportation array blueprint for a while, then she started looking at other items.

The resources specially made available to her by the City Lord might not all be extremely precious, but they were all extremely rare, the kind that couldn't be mass-produced.

Especially now, with Hei Yuan needing further refinement, she could certainly purchase some ores to store.

Even if they weren't ultimately used, she could convert them into usable items with the Heaven and Earth Furnace.

For her, there was no such thing as waste.

Li Shuang hesitated for a moment but didn't buy anything.

For some reason.

She now had a strong intuition.

In the coming period, she might be very, very short on points.

Points were something to save if possible. Perhaps one day in the future, they would prove to be of great use.

In the following days.

Li Shuang temporarily left the Myriad Law Eye and quietly went into seclusion in her secret chamber.

Until this day.

She suddenly felt something, and her soul instantly entered Myriad Law City.

Li Shuang looked up at the sky, a hint of shock flashing in her eyes. She had left from the Myriad Law Hall, and by common sense, she should have returned there. But now, she had appeared directly near the city wall.

The golden榜 (ranking list) that was originally hanging on the city wall now unfurled in the air like a scroll.

Golden names flickered on the golden榜.

Beneath the golden榜, figures appeared out of thin air.

"The Soul Golden Altar! The Soul Golden Altar is about to open!"

Someone shouted in surprise.

"This time, I must rush into the second level! No one can stop me!"

"Hahahaha. I managed to accumulate enough soul points at the last minute. My luck is simply incredible!"

More and more figures appeared, densely packed.

Soon, the area beneath the golden榜 was filled with people.

"This time, who do you think will be first?"

"Is there even a need to guess? Who else but Youlan?"

"This time, it might not be! Haven't you heard? That Li is a peerless genius carefully cultivated by the City Lord. She might not be worse than Youlan."

"That's true, but she's still too young. When she reaches Youlan's age, she'll naturally surpass Youlan. But for now..."

"Indeed."

Everyone was discussing animatedly.

Suddenly.

Someone's expression tightened, and they instantly shut their mouths.

Others looked in front of him and immediately dared not speak either.

Where that person's gaze fell, a black-clad woman was staring at them expressionlessly.

"Senior Sister Youlan, these people are all talking nonsense, don't mind them," someone beside her said.

"That's right. Even if Li can surpass Senior Sister, that should be in the future..." A disciple of the Demonic Heaven Sect was saying when he was suddenly punched. The disciple was startled, realizing he had said the wrong thing, and quickly added, "No, no, even in the future, she will definitely not surpass Senior Sister Youlan."

Youlan's face was calm, her voice tinged with coldness: "Shut up. Li..."

"Li just got lucky," someone immediately interjected.

Youlan glanced at him, then said expressionlessly, "Stay away from me."

That person: "???"

A small vacuum zone instantly appeared around Youlan.

Youlan stood in the center, a cold light flickering in her eyes.

She had just emerged from seclusion and heard about this Li.

A super genius who passed the sixth mountain at only 35 years old, that was one thing.

But she was also a disciple personally trained by the City Lord.

That was the City Lord!

Youlan's hand clenched slightly into a fist.

What kind of person was the City Lord of Myriad Law City?

She alone deterred the five great super sects, and that was not all.

According to rumors.

There was a peak human expert who defected to the Land of Heavenly Desolation, becoming a traitor to humanity. Relying on the power of true demons, he committed countless bloody crimes.

Later, human experts jointly hunted him down, and the traitor hid in the Land of Heavenly Desolation, not daring to come out easily.

It was the City Lord of Myriad Law City who ventured alone into the Land of Heavenly Desolation, breaking through three forbidden zones to capture that scoundrel.

Now.

That scoundrel was still suffering torment in the Soul Prison.

The City Lord of Myriad Law City was truly the strongest in the human realm, the backbone of all humanity.

Youlan admitted that this City Lord was her idol. Her goal was to become an ultimate powerhouse like the City Lord.

She had worked hard in her cultivation, thinking that if one day she could also reach the peak, she might be able to meet the City Lord.

But this Li!

What virtues and abilities did she possess to receive personal guidance from the City Lord?

Youlan took a deep breath, then suddenly raised her eyes, scanning the crowd.

Then.

Her gaze settled on Li Shuang.

Youlan stepped forward, walking towards Li Shuang.

Li Shuang was curiously looking at the golden榜 above when suddenly, a commotion broke out beside her.

Li Shuang turned, looking over with some curiosity.

"It's Youlan."

"Quick, move aside!"

"Hiss, that expression is too terrifying."

Everyone quickly dispersed, creating a clear path.

Seeing the situation, Li Shuang also consciously tried to make way.

However.

As soon as she moved.

Everyone quickly moved further away from her.

Li Shuang took another step back.

The crowd continued to retreat.

Li Shuang: "...??"

"Sister, don't retreat anymore. Youlan is clearly coming for you!"

"Yes, yes, yes, when gods fight, don't involve innocent bystanders."

Everyone kept retreating.

Li Shuang was bewildered.

Coming for... her?

Beneath the golden榜, where people were originally densely packed, a path had now been forcefully cleared.

Youlan calmly walked up to Li Shuang, then stopped.

Li Shuang looked at her with some confusion.

She and this top genius seemed to have no connection.

Youlan said expressionlessly, "I will let her know that she misjudged someone."

Her gaze suddenly sharpened: "Surpass you, crush you. Only then can she step over you and see me. I hope you're not too fragile!"
