Chapter 639 - A Teenage Guru??? (2/2)
“Exactly. He can kill people from thousands of miles away!”
“Could it be that the person who auctioned the Guru Sword is a guru himself?”
“Judging from the voice we heard just now, he doesn’t sound like a middle-aged man or an old man. He should be fairly young.”
“He can’t be a teenage guru, can he?”
For a while, everyone was stunned at this thought.
“A teenage guru?”
“How is it possible?”
In the martial arts world, many people who had practiced hard for decades only managed to break through to the Martial Superior Level. Elder Yi was one of those people. Even if one was a genius, he would be at least 30 or 40 years old when he reached the eighth or ninth class.
Even Diwu Qian, who ranked second among the top ten martial arts geniuses in the domestic, only reached the peak of the eighth class with two opened meridians at the age of 20!
All those people had not reached the Guru Realm, let alone a teenager.
How could a teenager already be a guru?
No one could believe it. But according to all the information they had, this guy, who was among them but couldn’t be located by thousands of people, must be a guru, and there was a great possibility that he was a teenage guru!
This was just unbelievable!
On the auction stage—
“Is this, is this for me?”
The young man, who had just handed the parchment to the middle-aged manager, looked blankly at the sword in front of him that had pierced into the ground. His face was full of surprise and exhilaration.
“Yes, it’s yours.”
The middle-aged manager nodded and then said, “Since this is a transaction completed in our auction house, as the host, how about I help you verify the grade of this sword?”
“I’d like that, thank you.”
The young man thanked him and quickly stepped forward and pulled the sword out of the floor.
“Fetch the Sword Testing Stone.”
The middle-aged manager shouted, and a staff member swiftly brought him the Sword Testing Stone and put it on the exhibition table for auction targets.
“Put the sword on the Sword Testing Stone,” advised the middle-aged manager.
The young man did not hesitate and immediately placed the sword on the stone.
The next moment—
“Sixth class!” The middle-aged manager announced.
Once his words were out, everyone was stupefied.
Didn’t they seal the deal with a fifth-class sword?
But he actually gave the young man a sixth-class sword!
It should be noted that if the value of the sword was converted into money, it would be worth millions more!
“Sixth, sixth class?”
The young man was flabbergasted.
Soon, someone made a bid for that sword on the spot, but the young man rejected it.
After all, at the previous auction, only one sixth-class sword was auctioned. Many people who wanted to buy it but were outbid were now quite envious of this young man.
Beside the stage, He Gaoming’s face was full of bitterness, but he didn’t dare to complain in case his master’s identity was exposed if he was not careful. So, he could only stare at Fang Qiu even without blinking.
Fang Qiu, on the other hand, remained quite composed.
He had already given He Gaoming a fifth-class sword. Although it was a broken sword, it still had the function of a fifth-class sword. Now without the sixth-class, he could still use it for the time being.
What was more, as Fang Qiu had already decided to make a deal with that young man, he had to keep his word. It would be a waste of time to cast a new fifth-class sword from scratch after the auction ended.
Therefore, Fang Qiu could only give He Gaoming’s sword to the young man.
Anyway, He Gaoming was determined to join his ranks. At the worst, Fang Qiu would just need to cast another sword for him in the future.
As to the value of this sword, Fang Qiu didn’t care much.
As long as what the parchment recorded was true, Fang Qiu was even willing to trade a seventh-class or eighth-class sword for it, let alone a sixth-class one.
The rarity of the Heaven Treasure ranked 17th was not the point here.
At least, it was the most suitable one for Fang Qiu.
After breaking through to the sixth class, the next Heaven Treasure that Fang Qiu needed for the next breakthrough was at a higher level. The 17th Heaven Treasure was just right for him.
And the most important thing was that things like Heaven Treasures could only be found by chance.
Even if there was only a slim chance, Fang Qiu was willing to seize it.
Who knew when he would make the next breakthrough and when he would get hold of the Heaven Treasure he needed?
In the face of unknown situations, the best way to deal with it was to always be prepared.
The auction came to an end.
Under the envious gazes of countless people, the young man left with the sixth-class sword in his arms.
At the same time, others also began to exit.
When departing, everyone was a little absent-minded. They were crazy for the Guru Sword, which was sold at a sky-high price of 300 million yuan. And they were still in the shock produced by the bizarre scene that occurred at the end.
Soon, the news of the auction was also posted on the Wulin forum.
In addition to the spread of the news online, various details of the auction were quickly spread by word of mouth through the whole Wulin after the auction.
“300 million?”
“It’s simply a whopping price!”
“The price is sky-high, but the Guru Sword is also the best in the world. Aside from possessing the aura of the Guru Realm, it can also attract the surrounding Qi of Heaven and Earth. It’s surely worth 300 million!”
“Even Diwu Qian went to the auction. If I had known earlier, I would have gone to the auction as well. Though I couldn’t afford the Guru Sword, at least I could see Diwu Qian in person.”
“I heard that the one who consigned the Chic Cloud Pavilion to auction the Guru Sword seems to be a teenage guru!”
“How can it be?”
“What nonsense are you talking about? Nowadays, even a guru in the evening of his life is scarce. Where can you find a teenage guru?”
