Invincible Martial King

"No wonder he's so rich and overbearing. Even after shouting out five million and five hundred thousand, his expression still hasn't changed."    

"Of course. Why don't you see who bid?"    

"Who is he?"    

"He is the direct descendant of Heavenly Star Sect, Yao Jie. He is reputed to be the most qualified candidate to become Hundred Sects Meeting's number one."    

"So he's actually the monster known as the Little Demon King in Heavenly Star Sect!"    

… ….    

Looking at the young man, many of the surrounding people recognized his identity and began to discuss in low voices. This Heavenly Star Sect was not an ordinary sect, and could almost be counted as one of the most powerful sects within the Dagan Dynasty, so not only did the disciples of the other sects know of this young man, even the noble sons and disciples of the Imperial City had heard of his deeds.    

"Five million eight hundred thousand."    

Just as Yao Jie finished his sentence, another voice came from the other side of the hall, which also attracted quite a bit of attention. The person who spoke wore a long black robe and had a black mask covering his face, making him appear rather eye-catching. His voice carried a lazy tone, but as he spoke, it caused the few people who were originally planning to continue bidding to shake their heads and give up the competition.    

"An increase of three hundred thousand soul crystals in a single breath. This friend here is quite extravagant, but it is almost impossible for me to give up my Charm Nuclei."    

"I, Yao Jie, must have this Charm core."    

Yao Jie snorted and said in a deep voice, "6 million!"    

"Six million soul crystals?"    

"Are they going to go all out? "An increase of three hundred thousand and an increase of two hundred thousand. This is going to be a good show."    

"Of course there's going to be a good show. The people in the second floor's private room should be making their move too."    

Although he wasn't able to obtain the Charm core, it didn't stop others from wanting to watch the show. At the same time, some people noticed that in many of the boxes on the second floor, there seemed to be faint flows of soul power.    

"Six million two hundred thousand!"    

Not long after the black robed man finished speaking, a powerful voice suddenly came out from the private room to the right of Lu Chen and Xiao Yan. The voice also raised the price by two hundred thousand soul crystals.    

"Junior Brother Lu, should we make a move?" Seeing that the price had reached such a level, even though Bu Zhan tried his best to keep himself calm, he still could not calm down. At the moment, only Yao Jie and the black-robed man were left in the main hall, so he felt that the time was right.    

"Senior Brother Bu, how many soul crystals do you have with you?" Lu Chen didn't directly answer his question. Instead, he suddenly asked.    

"This..."    

"I've prepared all my savings. There should be more than seven million soul crystals here." Bu Zhan was shocked and didn't hide it.    

"Seven million soul crystals?" Hearing that, Lu Chen raised his eyebrows. If there were only so many soul crystals, it wouldn't be easy for Bu Zhan to obtain the Charm core.    

"Don't bid yet. If senior believes me, why don't you let me help you bid? Consider it returning senior's favor, I wonder how it is?"    

Lu Chen could tell that Bu Zhan was a bit nervous. It was easy to lose one's mind to participate in such an emotional situation, and now that he was able to help, it could be considered as repaying Bu Zhan's favor.    

"That's good."    

"Regardless of whether or not I can obtain this Charm core, junior brother, please help me make the decision." Bu Zhan agreed after a moment of silence.    

Wu Tie nodded when he saw this. With Bu Zhan's seven million soul crystals, it would be very difficult to obtain this Charm core. However, if you add in his own soul crystal, it should be more than enough, but the prerequisite is that you have to obtain this Charm core at the lowest cost, otherwise, if Bu Zhan were to bid like this, he might do something impulsive. Even if he was willing to help out with the soul crystal, he couldn't waste it without restraint.    

Hundred Sects Meeting would begin in a few days. Even if he could enter through it, he would need to store some soul crystals in case of an emergency.    

"Six million three hundred thousand."    

Yao Jie frowned and said decisively.    

"Six million five hundred thousand."    

"Six million eight hundred thousand!"    

The black cloaked man glanced at Yao Jie and the second floor's booth. Under the astonished gazes of everyone, he continued to raise the bid by 300,000 soul crystals in one go.    

Yao Jie went silent and didn't immediately bid. The private room to the right of Lu Chen also quieted down abruptly, as if he had not expected the black-robed man to be so powerful. Even someone who enjoyed the treatment of a private room in the Auction would have to spend a large amount of money to obtain six million eight hundred thousand soul crystals.    

"Six million nine hundred thousand." After a moment of silence, the strong voice sounded once again from the private box.    

"7 million."    

The masked man in black followed without any hesitation, as though he was determined to get his hands on the treasure. As his voice faded, the box that was originally silent suddenly fell silent.    

"Seven million one hundred thousand." After a long silence, Yao Jie suddenly said as if he mustered his courage.    

"As expected of a person with Heavenly Star Sect. Since that's the case, I'll just give this to you." The masked man in black furrowed his brows, and abruptly beat back the drum. Everyone found it hard to accept the huge change that had occurred.    

"Junior Brother Lu."    

Bu Zhan had an anxious expression on his face, but Lu Chen remained unmoved. He could not help but urge.    

"Senior apprentice-brother, don't be impatient."    

Seeing this, Lu Chen smiled slightly and said.    

"But …"    

"Seven million two hundred thousand!"    

Just when Bu Zhan wanted to continue, a clear and melodious voice came from the room next to theirs, causing Yao Jie, who was originally relieved, to have an unsightly expression on his face.    

It was as if he was about to eat a delicious meal. However, when he opened his mouth and someone suddenly carried it away, that sort of feeling was extremely difficult to endure.    

"Seven million three hundred thousand." Yao Jie's eyes were almost spitting fire as he tried his best to suppress his voice.    

"Seven million four hundred thousand."    

After hesitating for a moment, a clear and melodious voice sounded from the room next to Lu Chen's.    

"That should be Zhao Deming's private box. If I'm not wrong, it should be the treasure of Lu Family that has made its move."    

"The status of the Lu Family in the Imperial City gets lower and lower with each passing day. I never thought that this Ming Zhu would be able to do such a thing."    

"A skinny camel is bigger than a horse. No matter how much its Lu Family has declined, it still holds a lot of weight in the Imperial City."    

"Moreover, I heard that this Ming Zhu of the Lu Family possesses a perfect Superior Grade Martial Spirit, and is only a step away from a top-grade Martial Spirit. Previously, the Dagan Academic Palace made an exception and recruited her to join them, but the latter insisted on participating in the Hundred Sects Meeting in a few days time to obtain the qualifications. Although she is a woman, she is much more domineering than many men."
