Chapter 84 I'll Go First

At ordinary times in the antique trading market, although the businesses of those operators were in full swing, there was no funny news. The occasional "undervalued treasures" found would not cause too much impact.

However, recently, those who had been keeping a close eye on the antique trading market would find something interesting. For example, not long ago, the emergence of high-level magic weapons let everyone in the whole market wander around. Everyone, with excitement and hope, looked forward to getting the treasures.

Hardly had one wave subsided when another rose.

Today, another event happened in the antique trading market. In just half an hour, almost all the people in the market knew that there would be a game of antiques and magic weapons. Consequently, many bosses were rushing in to see what the younger generation could do. Fuxuan Hall's sudden involvement was to make the people who came more excited.

The fact that Xu Jingkai, who was in the center of the storm, had been tricked by Wang Ke many times was also exposed as the crowd kept arriving. The rumbles of the people around him made his face as white as sheet and he then seemed angry. His heart was filled with the furious flame with his eyes taking a resentful look, constantly sweeping from Wang Ke who was with an indifferent look.

Xu Shichang, Xu Jingkai's father, was also the first to get the news of his son's challenge to Wang Ke. Although he was angry with his son for not obeying him, he also hoped from the bottom of his heart that his son could defeat Wang Ke in a dignified manner by real strength in the eyes of the public, hence washing away the humiliation before.

After the men in black had removed 20 antiques from the vans, Xu Shichang arrived with two old friends. These two aged were geomancers. But their level was not high, only achieving the stage of Qi Master.

"Xu, what a promising son you have! To make such a big splash at such a young age is a lot better than when we were young. And from what I know, he has reached the stage of Qi Master, hasn't he? With such achievements at his age, his future will be limitless. Like father, like son!" One of them looked at Xu Jingkai, and then sighed with emotion to Xu Shichang beside him.

"That's right! At my age, I'm just a Qi Master. He can reach it just in his twenties, so he will certainly become a Yinyang Master in the future. Maybe he can rise to the stage of Su Master or Shu Master!" Looking at Xu Shichang, the other old man enviably said.

Standing less than ten meters away from Xu Jingkai, Xu Shichang's eyes revealed a trace of pride. Although his son had been disappointing him recently, there was no denying that his son had a great talent in Fengshui. He knew that the huge pressure that the young man, Wang Ke, brought a few days ago let his son break through again, so that his son reaches the highest stage of Qi Master. As long as his son broke through once more, he could reach the stage of Yinyang Master.

"You two overpraised him. The finest diamond must be cut. My son still has a long way to go." Xu Shichang modestly said with all smiles.

One of the old men smiled and said, "Xu, don't be modest. We have been friends for many years. We all know Jingkai's excellence. He had not wasted time all these years! However, since the young man called Wang Ke can make Jingkai competitive, I believe that Wang Ke should not be too bad, right?"

"Wang Ke seems to be from Zhao Menfeng's Self House. I once saw him save people on the East Gate Bridge. His character is not bad," said the other old man suddenly.

Listening to the words of his two old friends, pride in Xu Shichang's eyes soon disappeared, replaced by a haze.

Meanwhile, there was also a hint of disdain.

"I know the ins and outs of that guy. He is nothing but a clerk of Self House. When Jingkai followed his uncle to Self House to consult Zhao Menfeng on Fengshui before, that guy had only to serve tea on the side." Xu Shichang sneered.

In his eyes, his son would be a sure winner this time.

Although his son had been frustrated many times before, he thought it were all plots by Wang Ke. Today's game was based on real skills. The plot was absolutely vulnerable in the face of real strength.

Exuding calmness, Bai Ruochen, with his handsome face and confident charm, scanned the 20 antiques from the vans and nodded with satisfaction. With a faint smile, he slowly scanned the crowd around him and raised his hand to signal everyone to be quiet. Then he said loudly,

"Ladies and gentlemen, we have delivered all the twenty antiques provided by Fuxuan Hall. No one knows what these twenty antiques are, because they have been completely sealed up by special isolation devices."

"Now, I would like to invite fifty spectators to enclose the twenty antiques in a circle with their backs to them. I will not open the seal of the special isolation devices until the twenty antiques are invisible to the outside world."

"Two contestants have to wear headphones with loud music in their ears to prevent others from helping them cheat. Then the two contestants can enter the wall of men and pick out the antiques or magic weapons they think are the best. Each person can only pick two items at most, and then let everyone give a score. Whoever chooses the items with the highest combined value wins the contest!"

"What do you think of my proposal?"

Bai Ruochen stopped his smile and shouted earnestly.

The crowd around looked at each other, then slowly nodded.

Xu Jingkai and Wang Ke stood face to face and agreed with Bai Ruocheng's method.

"I agree!"

Xu Jingkai shouted.

"I agree, too!"

Wang Ke also said calmly.

Bai Ruochen was very satisfied with the words of Xu Jingkai and Wang Ke, as well as the reaction of the surrounding crowd.

Soon, fifty volunteers formed a human wall around twenty antiques and Bai Ruochen strode in from the place one of them made.

Wang Ke and Xu Jingkai stood outside the crowd. As Bai Ruochen inside the human wall unsealed the antiques one by one, they became serious. Both of them were now at the stage of Qi Master, so both felt the spiritual energy wave within twenty meters.

The magic weapon!

And there would be more than one!

Both of them, through energy-observing, were feeling the spiritual energy wave around and were immediately excited.

Especially for Xu Jingkai, after the concentration of the spiritual energy was no longer increased, his serious expression began to reveal the color of contempt with a bit of arrogance. Glancing at Wang Ke, his mouth outlined a sarcastic color.

Because he was a geomancer and Qi Master, he could feel the spiritual energy wave caused by magic weapons and he did not believe that Wang Ke would also be a geomancer and Qi Master. Never knowing that Wang Ke could also observe the spiritual energy, he naturally felt that he was superior in this respect.

Wang Ke was indifferent to Xu Jingkai's contempt and arrogant expression but sneered in his mind and prepared himself.

Nevertheless!

They all did not know that as Bai Ruochen unsealed the pieces of antiques, all the Yinyang Masters in the antique trading market were keenly aware of the surrounding spiritual energy wave. Suddenly, all of them appeared an excited expression on their faces, because they all felt the presence of the middle-level magic weapons and there was even a strange feeling that made them even more excited.

Because a large number of Yinyang Masters who had ever seen high-level magic weapons all had experienced this strange feeling.

Was there a middle-level magic weapon in the trading market?

Maybe there was a high-level magic weapon, wasn't there?

More than a dozen Yinyang Masters mixed in the crowd were also excited. They soon realized that the presence of middle-level magic weapons, and possibly even high-level ones, was caused by Bai Ruochen behind the human wall, and by the twenty antiques offered by Fuxuan Hall.

A few minutes later.

Striding out of the wall, Bai Ruochen looked at Xu Jingkai and Wang Ke and said calmly, "I took out all 20 sealed antiques. You two go in separately, pick out two items, immediately walk out of the human wall, and then write the names of the items you have selected on a piece of paper, and hand it over to me."

"But first, we need judges. I propose that all the Yinyang Masters present come out as the judges of this game between Wang Ke and Xu Jingkai."

As his words finished, twelve Yinyang Masters quickly stepped forward.

Bai Ruochen nodded with satisfaction, "Well, these twelve respected Yinyang Master will be the judges of this game. Are you two ready? Who will enter the human wall first and start picking two items? Please remember, this game is not just about the price of magic weapons, but the speed at which you pick them will also be considered."

Xu Jingkai, sitting in a wheelchair, quickly raised his hand with confidence and shouted,

"I'll go first!"

Bai Ruochen looked at Wang Ke and asked seriously, "Do you agree?"

Wang Ke shrugged his shoulders easily and calmly said, "It doesn't matter who picks first. I agree."

Bai Ruochen loudly said, "That's good. Xu Jingkai first enters the human wall and begins to select the magic weapons."

Xu Jingkai turned his head to look at the shrewd young man behind him and said quickly, "Push me in and speed up!"

The young man was reluctant. He was about to resign and to work in Fuxuan Hall. Why did he still listen to Xu Jingkai?

However, due to the presence of Bai Ruochen, he also did not want to leave him a heartless and disobedient image. He had to obey Xu Jingkai's order and pushed him up to the antiques inside the human wall.

Xu Jingkai, who was pushed in front of the twenty items, was complacent secretly. By energy-observing, he had learned that there must be magic weapons in these twenty items, so he kept observing piece by piece, concentrating his mind and trying to figure out which was the real magic weapon, and which was the fake.
