Chapter 859: You’re Chu Kuangren, That Works Too? When Is The Moon Round And Bright
The Purple Source Metal was also an extremely rare material in Planet Zi used for forging weapons. Despite being the Fourth Seat, Zi Ying did not have a weapon made from it. Only the First Seat had one.
A glint flashed across Zi Ying's eyes as he looked at Chu Kuangren.
He stepped forward and said to Chu Kuangren. "My name is Zi Ying, the Fourth Seat of Planet Zi. I heard you have a piece of Purple Source Metal with you. Is that true?"
"That's right."
Chu Kuangren glanced at him and nodded.
"I'm willing to buy the Purple Source Metal from you for a higher price. You bought it for two hundred million, right? I'm willing to pay you twice that amount."
Zi Ying said.
Upon hearing that, Chu Kuangren looked at him strangely. "You're a Planet Zi Seat, alright. Did something happen to your brain?"
"What do you mean?"
Zi Ying's face immediately turned dark.
"Do I need to tell you how much a piece of Purple Source Metal normally costs? I managed to buy it for two hundred million because I had a good eye. You know it's a Purple Source Metal, yet you still have the guts to buy it from me for only double the price? If your brain isn't damaged, why are you asking such a dumb f*cking question?" Chu Kuangren sneered.
Zi Ying's expression did not look good.
As a Planet Zi Seat, people would always show him respect no matter where he went. From his perspective, Chu Kuangren should fear his identity and go along with his demands by handing the Purple Source Metal over. Chu Kuangren would have earned a small lump of cash by doing so.
At the same time, he would gain favor from a Planet Zi Elite too.
On the other hand, he could have rejected Zi Ying's offer if he did not want to sell it.
However, who could have thought Zi Ying would get ridiculed instead?
That had embarrassed him in front of the crowd.
"Pfft." Tang Haitang, who stood beside Chu Kuangren, could not help but stifle her laugh.
Having spent some time getting to know Chu Kuangren, she understood a little of his character and behavior.
She knew that although Chu Kuangren looked gentle and humble, he was actually an incredibly arrogant person.
If Zi Ying were talking to someone else, perhaps the outcome would happen just like he expected. As a Planet Zi Seat, he would be respected at the very least.
Unfortunately, the person he was talking to was Chu Kuangren instead. Did he care whether Zi Ying was a Planet Zi or Planet Jin Seat? No. Since Zi Ying was trying to take advantage of him, he would retaliate without holding back.
"What are you laughing at?!"
Zi Ying glared at Tang Haitang.
A powerful surge of aura immediately swept towards her.
Having embarrassed himself and then laughed at by a woman, Zi Ying would not blindly tolerate something like that.
"Sighs. That's all there is to a Planet Zi Elite's temper, I suppose."
Chu Kuangren stepped in front of Tang Haitang. With a flash from his eyes, a surge of even more terrifying aura was unleashed!
As the two invisible auras clashed, Zi Ying's expression changed, and he began to tremble. He had, to his surprise, fallen into a disadvantage!
Everyone's eyes widened upon seeing this.
The Planet Zi Seat was losing!
How was that possible?
Meanwhile, a few female cultivators gazed at Chu Kuangren, mesmerized.
'He's a hero saving a damsel in distress…'
'Oh my g*d. This is just too romantic.'
"A guest of the Godly Moon Daoist Celestial with Chu as his first name… I know who you are now."
After facing a small defeat, Zi Ying glared at Chu Kuangren, and a name he had been hearing a lot of lately popped up in his mind.
"You're Chu Kuangren!"
Everyone gasped.
They were very familiar with the name Chu Kuangren. After all, it had been the most popular name in all of the Violet Gold Galaxy recently.
"He's Chu Kuangren, the top-tier Immortal Progeny who defeated a group of Immortal Progenies on his own!"
"No wonder even Zi Ying is no match for him."
"I can't believe that it's him."
The most shocked out of everyone was, no doubt, Wang Hang.
Never did he expect that the person he was targeting previously during the auction was Chu Kuangren, a top-notched Immortal Progeny!
'No wonder he did not take me seriously that time.'
'It's because of who he was.'
Chu Kuangren chuckled when his identity was revealed.
At that moment, several ripples appeared in the void.
A bright, white moon appeared in the sky, creating a phenomenon of two moons hanging in the same night sky!
Within that bright moon, rays of Moonlight swirled and shone on the Moon Gazing Platform.
"The Moon Wheel Secret Realm has appeared!"
"Look, it's Moonlight!"
Some cultivators were delighted to see it.
They quickly channeled their Emperor qi to absorb the Moonlight into their body.
"I return, lamenting beneath the bright moon, the bell tolling as the bright moon looms…" a cultivator suddenly shouted.
It was a line from a poem. The moment the poem was recited, large amounts of Moonlight immediately surged towards that cultivator, forming a ten-meter-tall pillar of light around him.
Without delay, that cultivator immediately sat with his legs crossed and began absorbing the Moonlight.
"I'll have a go too."
"Me too…"
For a while, those cultivators who came prepared immediately read their poem out loud, attracting a lot of Moonlight towards them.
Soon after, several pillars of Moonlight-formed light appeared.
Some were ten meters tall, while some were up to a hundred meters tall.
"Hmph, I should start absorbing this Moonlight."
Zi Ying snorted.
He stood calmly and started reciting his poem.
"Gazing upon soaring geese across Dongting lake, the coldness of wind hardly felt in autumn's wake…"
At that time, Lady Leng also started to recite her new poem.
She immediately caught everyone's attention the moment she spoke.
Countless people's gazes were on her by then.
"What a good poem…"
"As expected from Lady Leng."
Before she could finish reciting her poem out loud, people were already praising her for it.
Then again, as one of the more well-known and talented women in the Ancient Godly Moon Kingdom, Lady Leng was certainly a good poet.
After she recited her poem, large amounts of Moonlight suddenly rushed towards her, forming a pillar of light that was nine hundred meters tall.
Everyone was suddenly blinded by its dazzling light.
"Amazing. As expected from Lady Leng."
"Yeah. She's too good at this."
"Duh? Do you think her reputation as a good poet is just for show?"
Then, Wang Hang started reading his poem.
Although it was not as good as Lady Leng's, he still attracted a lot of Moonlight as a five-hundred-meter-tall pillar of light formed around him.
Tang Haitang was not to be outdone and simply made a few lines on the spot.
A five-hundred-meter-tall pillar of light soon appeared beside Chu Kuangren.
As the cultivators on the scene read out their poems one after another, pillars and pillars of light soon rose into the sky around them. Those who did not know poetry could only stand and watch, looking at everyone in confusion.
"Oh, I got it."
At that moment, the eyes of a hulking man beside Chu Kuangren suddenly lit up. Then, he said loudly, "Oh, moon, you're as round as a disk of light, so very round…"
Rays of Moonlight swirled and rushed towards that hulking man.
Chu Kuangren was dumbfounded.
'That works too?'
"Why is there only so little?" the hulking man said unhappily as he looked at the pillar of light around him. It was not even a meter tall.
Chu Kuangren was speechless when he heard that.
'Bro, at your level, what do you expect?'
"Through the vastness of cold, the red king sits. Through the darkness of the sky, the full moon lits…"
Zi Ying spoke.
Following his voice, countless rays of Moonlight surged towards him, forming a pillar of light that was more than a kilometer tall.
Everyone was amazed at the sight of that.
"He's so good at this. I can't believe he's even better than Lady Leng."
"That's right. It's as expected of Planet Zi's best poet."
"Wonderful. It is truly wonderful."
Standing inside the pillar of Moonlight, Zi Ying looked at Chu Kuangren with a grin. With a provoking look on his face, he asked, "Aren't you going to try crafting a new poem, Brother Chu?"
"That's right. What's the point of coming to the Moon Wheel Banquet if you don't know how to write poetry?"
Wang Hang also added from the side.
The crowd looked at Chu Kuangren with amusement.
"I'm just worried that if I have a go right now, everyone's poem will pale in comparison to mine."
Chu Kuangren said.
"Hmph. What's the point of talking? Just do it."
Zi Ying snorted coldly.
"Very well. As you wish."
Standing with his hands behind his back, Chu Kuangren stepped into the air, and his voice echoed in the sky. "When is the moon round and bright…"
