As soon as these words were spoken, the entire audience was shocked, and the surrounding spectators couldn't help but take a few steps back.
The wailing in the arena also ceased, as each person, with faces full of terror, struggled to move their bodies, trying their best to shift their behinds out of Gu Feng's sight.
"Hurry up, take off your clothes," Gu Feng's face darkened, and without explaining further to the crowd, he stepped forward. Amid the piercing screams of the others, he stripped off their robes and shoes, emptying a storage pouch specifically for holding the robes and shoes.
His speed was incredibly fast, as if he had practiced countless times, he was extremely proficient.
The crowd was petrified; his method of stripping clothes was even more efficient than that of the courtesans, making it both laughable and astonishing.
"You... don't go too far, you've already taken our storage pouches, and now you're taking our clothes? Is there no rule in the Sunset Glow Sect's outer sect?" One prodigy resisted, shouting angrily, but all he received was ruthless suppression.
"Hmph, is this the outer sect of the Sunset Glow Sect? Are you disciples of the Sunset Glow Sect?
Believe it or not, I can beat you so badly that you won't even have the chance to take the entrance examination?"
With these words, the prodigies in the arena finally quieted down, silently enduring this humiliation.
Provoking this star could very likely result in being beaten so badly that they couldn't participate in the entrance examination.
The surrounding crowd couldn't help but laugh; they had truly witnessed something extraordinary today. These prodigies, although not completely stripped to their underpants, were nearly there.
Over a hundred prodigies were left with only their underpants; they had nothing else.
"Don't look at Chao Yuan being so burly and dark-skinned, who would have thought his body is so white."
"Well, Guo Renkai looks quite thin, but his chest muscles are quite developed."
"Meeting Meng Xiaotian in person is not as good as his reputation; apart from his handsome face, he has nothing else."
"..."
The whispers of the crowd made the hundred or so prodigies feel endless shame.
Shame, immense shame.
This shame was a hundred times deeper than losing a battle.
"Don't look at me like that, who told you to gang up against me!
When you get beaten, stand straight, only then can you show your manliness. My dear prodigies, bravely lift your heads and face the world."
Beating someone doesn't mean hitting their face, scolding someone doesn't mean exposing their shortcomings, Gu Feng had no taboos.
So mean, this masked bandit has thoroughly offended those prodigies this time, it must be said, he has quite the audacity.
Prodigies rarely come from humble backgrounds; those prodigies more or less have some connections, he really isn't afraid.
"Everyone, I have good news for you." Looking at the plethora of items, Gu Feng felt it was too troublesome to carry them around. Since he was going to sell them anyway, he might as well sell them to these prodigies.
Compared to outside, these prodigies would offer higher prices.
"Considering that you will be taking the entrance examination tomorrow, as a specially admitted disciple of the Sunset Glow Sect's outer sect and your senior, I shouldn't go too far.
So, I plan to sell these elixirs to you, so you can heal your wounds and fully prepare for tomorrow's examination."
Gu Feng's enthusiastic declaration left everyone speechless; robbing people and then immediately selling their items back to them, is that not too outrageous? Only a fool would buy.
One could imagine that these elixirs would be priced very high, far exceeding the market price, those prodigies are not fools, who would buy!
Just as most people expected, after Gu Feng spoke, no one responded, everyone turned their heads away, pretending not to hear.
"Brother, your injury is quite severe, this bottle of Three Revolutions Yang-Enhancing Elixir is perfect for you, want to buy it?"
"My injury is none of your concern!" That prodigy looked disdainful, I may not be able to beat you, but please don't treat us as fools, okay?
The next moment, a pig-like scream was heard, as Gu Feng directly pressed his finger on the man's wound, showing two rows of big white teeth, and asked with a smile: "If the injury isn't serious, why are you screaming so loudly!"
"I... I'll buy it, how much?"
"One thousand spirit stones!"
"What, one bottle for one thousand spirit stones, are you robbing me!" That prodigy shouted loudly, this elixir is three hundred spirit stones a bottle on the market, he actually wants to sell it for one thousand spirit stones, tripling the price.
"What are you talking about, if I were robbing you, would I need to give you elixirs? And please don't get it wrong, the one thousand spirit stones I mentioned, is the price for one pill."
"Pfft—"
Such a swindler, the onlookers were all ready to vomit blood, it looks like selling elixirs, but it's no different from robbery.
"I don't have spirit stones!"
"You can go borrow some, you're so famous, you must have plenty of friends."
Under the pressure of Gu Feng's might, every prodigy in the arena painfully borrowed money to buy the elixirs.
Buying directly, versus buying after a beating, as long as you're not a fool, you know which to choose.
"Brother, since you're selling anyway, why not sell me my clothes too!"
Today was a sure loss, some prodigies with a good attitude came forward to discuss buying their clothes back with Gu Feng.
Hearing this, Gu Feng thought it made sense, since he was selling anyway, he might as well sell their weapons too.
"Xi Xi, come here and help me!"
Hearing Gu Feng's call, Xi Xi ran over like a rabbit, hopping and skipping.
"I plan to hire you as my sales assistant."
"Hire? Don't bother, I'll help you for free!"
"No charge? That's great, when we get to the outer sect, I'll treat you to a meal."
"A meal? No need!" Yan Xixi politely declined, Gu Feng eats and takes away, she couldn't afford to pay for that.
Thus, a comical scene unfolded on the spot, Gu Feng, along with a group from the Myriad Harmony Guild, started an auction on the spot.
"This robe belongs to the peerless prodigy from Northwest City—Chao Yuan, want to be as mighty and majestic as him? Then buy this robe, you won't lose, you won't be fooled, the starting bid is only eighty spirit stones, everyone in the audience can bid!"
Nonsense, who would want to wear someone else's robe? Even if they liked it, they wouldn't buy it in front of Chao Yuan, that would be slapping him in the face!
"Xi Xi, is my sales pitch a bit off? Why are all the clothing items selling at the starting price?"
"Giggle, these are all prodigy-level figures, not everyone is as strong as you, not afraid to offend them."
Hearing Yan Xixi's words, Gu Feng understood.
"Let's auction the weapons directly, they need to take the entrance examination tomorrow, in a short time they can't find suitable weapons, that's what they urgently need now," Yan Xixi suggested.
"Weapons? I'm afraid they don't have the money to buy them!" Selling a pill for one thousand spirit stones, they could grit their teeth and borrow that, but a weapon would have to be sold for tens of thousands, that's not a small amount, they would have a hard time borrowing that.
"They don't have money on them, but their families do, take IOU notes, the outer sect is an independent place, outside forces and even the inner sect can't interfere.
You're practically invincible in the outer sect, unless they leave the Sunset Glow Sect, there's no fear they won't pay back."
"That makes sense!"
Contrary to Gu Feng's expectations, the auction for weapons was exceptionally lively, even the surrounding watching cultivators joined in.
Thinking about it slightly, it made sense.
The bidders coming from outside were all experts at the ninth level of body refinement, they had direct competition with these prodigies.
Weakening their opponent's strength was increasing their own chances of winning, of course, they would engage in bidding.
The farce didn't end until late at night.
Including the robbery and the auction, the total income was close to six million, with over one million in spirit stones, over four million in IOUs, and the unsold natural treasures not counted.
A bountiful harvest, a hefty profit.
This excited him so much that he was still spirited until dawn.
Dong——
The melodious sound of the bell rang out, the four gates of the Sunset Glow Sect opened wide, welcoming young talents from all over.
Gu Feng followed the crowd and also entered the Sunset Glow Sect.
As soon as he entered the Sunset Glow Sect, he felt himself locked by a beam of light, followed by a shower of flower petals.
The sound of drums and music began, and over a dozen figures in colorful attire slowly descended, singing and dancing around him.
Gu Feng, Yan Xixi, and all the disciples taking the entrance examination were all dumbfounded, completely unaware of what was happening.
Only the group of outer sect elders shook their heads with a wry smile, looking as if they were constipated!
