C42 Fiery Storm
"Sorry to keep you all waiting, but I believe this treasure won't let you all down." Looking at the anxious crowd below, Wang Shizong's eyelids twitched. He reached out to take the box from the maid and said excitedly, "This is a martial skill, and the most important thing is the Profound Level Supreme Grade Martial Skill!"
As soon as he finished speaking, there was a loud bang. Many people were dumbfounded. No one had expected that such a treasure would appear in today's auction.
"It's actually the Profound Level Supreme Grade Martial Skill. The Profound Level Supreme Grade Martial Skill has actually appeared in our Twilight City once again. This is too surprising!"
"I never thought that the final item would be this kind of treasure. However, I'm afraid that this thing will stir up a storm. Many big families and major powers are going to make their move. There's no hope for us."
The appearance of the Profound Level Supreme Grade Martial Skill had caused a huge commotion in the auction hall. Everyone's eyes were shining brightly as they looked at the box on the stage. They were all curious about what kind of martial skill was inside!
The few middle-aged men who were sitting at the front of the stage, who had remained calm and collected during the auction, had their eyebrows slightly twitched. Their sharp eyes swept across the stage, and a fiery heat flashed across their eyes.
These few people were the elders of the famous families in Twilight City. They had already known that the finale of today's auction would be this treasure. They had been waiting for this final show!
Listening to the noisy discussion behind them, a middle-aged man with a mustache sat in the middle. The corner of his mouth trembled coldly, and his face was full of ridicule. "How naive. Do they think they have the chance to participate in the fight for the Profound Level Martial Skill?"
"Haha, can't you just let these people have some delusions?"
Beside the middle-aged man, an old man who looked rather aged also laughed mockingly. He naturally heard the discussions around him. However... In his opinion, this was a joke. With their families around... It was impossible for anyone else to interfere with this Profound Level martial skill.
"What Elder Yun said makes sense. Let them delude themselves. After all, this kind of delusional opportunity is extremely hard to come by!"
The face of the middle-aged man with the mustache trembled slightly. That eye-catching mustache was filled with joy as his face trembled. The ridicule and coldness in his eyes were clearly visible. He did not place anyone else in his eyes.
The ridicule of the few people in the front row was naturally heard by the surrounding people. The expressions on everyone's faces were quite ugly. It was just that everyone was afraid of these people. No one dared to refute. Of course, there were also some people who dared to refute, but they were unwilling to provoke others for no reason. In the end, they also didn't say anything.
Their sharp gazes swept the area below as they looked at the lively scene. A hint of joy appeared in Auctioneer and Wang Shizong's eyes. This was the favorite atmosphere of the auction. "Opportunities don't wait for people. Don't miss such a good opportunity. This is an item that can be used as a family heirloom."
In order to make the atmosphere of the auction even more heated, Wang Shizong kept saying all kinds of things to arouse the enthusiasm of everyone. The atmosphere in the auction hall became more and more heated. In a while, the price of the martial skills would be even higher.
In fact, Wang Shizong was also very curious. He also did not understand why someone would auction such a treasure. One should know that this was a supreme treasure that could create a faction. There weren't many martial skills of this level in the entire Twilight City.
"Wang shi, there's no need to say anymore. Quickly introduce this martial technique to us!"
Wang Shizong wanted to continue stirring up the atmosphere of the crowd, but someone from the few large clans below the stage interrupted his plans.
Although he was about to speak, and felt extremely displeased in his heart, in the end, Wang Shizong still endured the dissatisfaction in his heart. He knew that he still needed to stay in Twilight City for a long time. It was necessary to have a good relationship with these families. The purpose of the Nature Manifestation Sect was to make peace more valuable, and make money with harmony. For the sake of his own promotion, no matter how unhappy he was, he would suppress himself.
Wang Shizong's face slightly wrinkled, and he maintained his original smile. "Looks like everyone is very curious about this Profound Level martial skill. Since that's the case... I won't say any more nonsense. Let me introduce this Profound Level Supreme Grade Martial Skill to everyone! "
The box that was carved with a landscape painting was pulled open by Wang Shizong, and an ordinary-looking scroll fell into his hand.
Ao Lingchen vaguely saw the three black characters of the Flame Explosion, but he was not sure about it since it was so far away.
The doubt did not linger in his heart for long, and the loud voice on the stage cleared his doubts.
"This is a set of Fist Technique, and its name is' Flame Explosion '. I have never seen its power before, but since it can become a Profound Level Supreme Grade Martial Skill, I don't think I need to doubt its power."
Wang Shizong didn't want to introduce too many things. A martial skill like this... Maintain the skill! More mystery was more attractive, and it could raise one's curiosity. And there was one more thing, no matter who it was, they did not want the martial techniques that they spent a large sum of money to be known by everyone. Grasping onto these little thoughts, he naturally knew when to say something!
Although Wang Shizong did not say much about the Flame Explosion, the few people sitting at the front were very satisfied. They also did not wish for the contents of the martial skill that they were about to obtain to be known by others. As long as the words Profound Level Supreme Grade were written on the martial skill, they knew that this was definitely not a simple skill, and it was definitely worth their effort.
"Alright, let's not waste everyone's time. The auction has officially begun. The starting bid starts without a base price!"
Wang Shizong put the scroll back into the box, closed the box, and placed it on the table without any restraint. His eyes were full of anticipation as he looked down, waiting for the crowd to bid.
The stadium was silent. No one spoke, which made the atmosphere quite strange.
Standing on the gorgeous stage, Wang Shizong was not worried at all. There was no need to consider whether this martial skill would be filmed in the end. The reason why there was no movement below the stage was because of this. It was just that everyone was intimidated by the Profound Level Supreme Grade Martial Skill and the lack of a starting bid.
"I bid 300 gold coins!"
In the silent stadium, a slightly trembling voice sounded, starting the bidding.
"Haha, such a treasure is hard to come by. It's a rare opportunity, so I naturally can't miss it. I bid 500 gold coins!"
Just as the trembling voice faded, a loud and clear voice sounded from the center of the stadium, as if it was filled with desire for the martial skills on the stage.
"I bid 600 gold coins."
"Seven hundred!"
Under the fiery bidding, the price of the finale item skyrocketed. The price of the item rose from three hundred to one thousand six hundred in an instant. Even so, the bidding didn't slow down. It continued to rise.
The shouts in the arena were burning hot. However, the elders of the big families sitting at the front of the stage still did not bid. It seemed that they did not want to compete with the poor people around them.
"This isn't how this game is played. Let me end this farce." The bearded middle-aged man's loud voice rang out as he raised the number plate in his hand. Number 3 was written on it: "I bid 2,500 gold coins!"
