Chapter 393 - 90

Chapter 90: Dai Youheng, the Ten Millionaire.Just as Zhou Yi had expected, the first round of bidding was fiercely competitive.In the end, these two Spirit Bones were successfully bought at the high price of four million five hundred thousand gold coins by Jiang Peng, the representative of the wealthy Imperial Sky Academy of the Heaven Soul Empire.In reality, this slightly exceeded the total value of the two Spirit Bones.The ten-thousand-year Illusion Charming Fox Skull would not exceed three million gold coins in market value, and the thousand-year left arm bone was worth at most a few hundred thousand.However, because different parts were auctioned together, the overall value increased.If all six major parts were auctioned together, they would certainly be inflated to a sky-high price.The auction began with a climax, completely igniting everyone's enthusiasm and filling them with greater anticipation for the upcoming lots.Meanwhile, Dai Youheng's capital reserves instantly became abundant.On the auction stage, Xu Jiujiu smiled sweetly, extremely satisfied with the high price fetched by the first item.She clapped her hands lightly, and two attendants immediately carried up a new auction item.It was a long blade with a mighty and domineering appearance.The blade exhibited a dull metallic luster, with energy faintly visible flowing within.Embedded in the hilt was an amber crystal radiating a fierce, aggressive aura.The entire blade exuded a sense of heavy and dangerous power."Congratulations to the distinguished guest who successfully won that pair of precious composite Spirit Bones for four million five hundred thousand gold coins," Xu Jiujiu's voice drew everyone's attention back."Now, for our second item—the tyrant tiger soul refining saber!"She pointed to the long blade and introduced it, "This blade was crafted by an Eighth Rank Soul Engineer.Although it Ranks as an Eighth Rank spirit tool, its ingenious design lies in the fact that it does not impose strict requirements on the user's spirit power Rank.Generally speaking, a Spirit Ancestor Rank Spirit Master can initially wield it, and its power will increase as their strength rises.It perfectly suits the needs of attack system Battle Spirit Masters.""The interior of the blade is fused with the Spirit Bone essence produced by a ten-thousand-year Tyrant Tiger Spirit Beast, giving it an inherently powerful strength amplification effect.When swung, the power is multiplied, enough to easily tear through defensive spirit tools or Protective Aura of the same Rank.Even more precious is that it contains a powerful active attack Spirit Ability—Tyrant Tiger Destruction Slash!Once activated, it can unleash a gigantic blade light containing destructive power, with astonishing might!""The starting price is one million gold coins!Each bid increment must not be less than fifty thousand gold coins!"The second item appeared, and it was exactly the tyrant tiger soul refining saber that Youheng had always wanted.Although the tyrant tiger soul refining saber was formidable, it wasn't a universal panacea like a Spirit Bone, which most people could absorb.For example, many experts with Tool Spirits still preferred to use their own Spirit in combat, and the tyrant tiger soul refining saber might not be as handy as their own Spirit.Furthermore, food system, support system, and agility-attack system Spirit Masters could not utilize the tyrant tiger soul refining saber very well because of its considerable weight, so their desire for this treasure was lukewarm.Therefore, this item was actually suitable for only one type of person: attack system Battle Spirit Masters with powerful Beast Spirits.This restriction greatly reduced the number of contenders.Dai Youheng seized the opportunity and immediately made a bid: "One million two hundred thousand!"As soon as this price was announced, it immediately deterred many bidders who were initially interested but had limited budgets.Although a few people subsequently raised the bid, when Dai Youheng steadily pushed the price to one million five hundred thousand gold coins, the venue fell completely silent.Xu Jiujiu surveyed the room, and after confirming that no one else was bidding, she smiled and brought down the hammer."One million five hundred thousand gold coins, third call, sold!Congratulations to this distinguished guest, this tyrant tiger soul refining saber is now yours."On Shrek's side, Zhou Yi nodded and said to Dai Youheng, "This blade contains a tiger-type Spirit Bone, which is indeed highly compatible with your Spirit.With it, your frontal assault capability should be able to advance another step."Dai Youheng smiled slightly and said confidently, "Naturally, my judgment is never wrong."The auction continued.Xu Jiujiu was well-versed in the art of auctioneering and did not continuously introduce Spirit Bones, but interspersed them with other treasures to maintain freshness.After several more precious Ores, medicinal materials, and a Seventh Rank spirit tool were sold, the atmosphere in the venue was once again heightened."The next item is also a Spirit Bone!" Xu Jiujiu's voice carried a hint of excitement.On the tray carried by the attendant, a left arm bone came into view.It was entirely ice-blue, shaped like a curved bow, covered with fine, sharp protrusions, and radiated an intense, chilling aura."This is the thirty-thousand-year Ice Arrow Boar Left Arm Spirit Bone," Xu Jiujiu introduced in detail."The Ice Arrow Boar is no ordinary Spirit Beast.It is massive, covered in ice-blue, rigid fur and sharp spikes that seem to be condensed from solid ice.Its most powerful ability is the perfect combination of its Ice Attribute spirit power and its own spikes, allowing it to fire immensely powerful ice arrows with a strong freezing effect for long-range hunting.""This left arm bone perfectly inherits the characteristics of the Ice Arrow Boar.Absorbing it, a Spirit Master will highly likely gain powerful Ice Attribute long-range attack capabilities, or extremely strong Ice Attribute enchanted piercing effects.For Ice Attribute Spirit Masters, especially control system Ice Spirit Masters who wish to compensate for a lack of offensive methods and enhance explosive power, its value is immeasurable!"These words instantly ignited the enthusiasm in two locations: the Shrek Academy rest area and the Sun Moon Imperial Soul Engineer Academy rest area!On Shrek's side, Ling Luochen's breathing quickened slightly.As a control system Spirit King, her control over ice was unquestionable, but the lack of powerful offensive methods had always been her weakness.This Spirit Bone was practically tailor-made for her!Over at the Sun Moon Academy, Meng Hongchen's beautiful eyes also lit up.Her Vermillion Ice Toad Spirit excelled at guiding poison through ice, making it insidious and hard to guard against, but she also lacked direct and powerful Ice Attribute physical attack methods.This Spirit Bone could not only compensate for her weakness but might even allow her to fuse her potent toxins with the Spirit Bone's ice arrow attacks, creating even more terrifying variations!"The starting price is three million gold coins!Each bid increment must not be less than one hundred thousand gold coins!" Xu Jiujiu announced."Three million one hundred thousand!" Ling Luochen spoke immediately, her voice carrying a hint of urgency."Three million three hundred thousand!" Meng Hongchen was not to be outdone, her voice clear and crisp."Three million five hundred thousand!" Ling Luochen gritted her teeth."Three million eight hundred thousand!" Xiao Hongchen lazily bid on behalf of his younger sister, appearing extremely wealthy."Four million!" Zhou Yi stepped in, representing Shrek Academy."Four million five hundred thousand!" The Sun Moon Academy side responded without hesitation.The price soared like a rocket, quickly breaking the five million mark and continuing to rise.Both major academies were clearly determined to acquire this Spirit Bone, and the bidding was exceptionally fierce.Finally, when the price reached six million gold coins, Zhou Yi sighed helplessly and shook her head.Shrek Academy's funds could not compare to the Imperial Soul Engineer Academy, which was backed by the entire Sun Moon Empire.It wasn't that they had run out of money, but this price had already exceeded their psychological limit.There might be more expensive and better items later, and they could not spend the majority of their funds on this thirty-thousand-year Spirit Bone.After that, Shrek would have no competitive edge."Six million gold coins, third call, sold! Congratulations to the distinguished guest!" Xu Jiujiu brought down the hammer.Xiao Hongchen showed a smug smile on his face and cast a provocative glance toward Shrek's direction.Dai Youheng, however, sat on the side, quietly calculating in his mind.The purchase of the tyrant tiger soul refining saber cost 1.5 million.His personal funds still had about 1.5 million remaining.But the 4.5 million obtained from the previous two Spirit Bones auction, plus the 6 million fetched by the Ice Arrow Boar Left Arm Spirit Bone, minus the ten percent commission, meant his total funds had reached:1.5 million + 4.05 million + 5.4 million = 10.95 million gold coins!And this didn't even account for the grand finale item, the Ninth Rank spirit tool, the deification platform!"Tsk tsk, in the blink of an eye, I'm also a millionaire with a net worth of ten million," Dai Youheng chuckled inwardly, extremely satisfied with the results of the auction tonight.Ample funds would be a crucial guarantee for all his subsequent plans.
