135 Chapter 135: 9 Supersects 1 (1/2)
”The base price is 210 gold coins. The bidding for the Low Earth Rank Battle Technique, Tornado Fists is now open.” Despite the confused stares and numerous people ranting, Dylan remained composed and continued with the auction.
”Screw you! Who would but that?” A Tier 4 noble loudly cursed. He was a middle aged man with a freshly shaved beared which displayed a dissatisfied expression. He did not like how inconsistent Dylan was woth the arrangement of his auction items
”I will! I bid 210 gold coins!” A Tier 6 noble who was a Thundercloud as a profession responded otherwise. He was on his leave and during his patrol in this area he was given 4 flyers about the auction.
After he discovered that the auction was a middle class auction that is organized by the topnotcher of this year's batch of Noble Test examiners who scored a perfect 100, he was determined to participate. It was just the right time for him to buy quality goods since he had already outgrown his current techniques.
”You!” The nobleman felt that his cheeks were burning from embarassment because the Thundercloud Guard rhetorically answered his question right after he said it.
”220 gold coins!” Another person raised the bid.
”How dare you both?!” The nobleman was enraged and shouted wantonly.
”250 gold coins! It is best to shut your mouth to avoid embarassing yourself especially if you are not bidding.” A lady who was at the same level of nobility sitted at the second floor sneered.
”Grrr..” Although he was angry, he could not refute what she just said. Thus, he decided to join the bidding wars! ”Fine, 300 gold coins!”
...
The technique was eventually sold for 640 gold coins. This auction was unlike the previous it only ended after a minute of bidding.
The three following auction items were the same. They were all sold for 730, 880, and 590 gold coins that all finished within two minutes of bidding each.
”Now the 11th item is a Mid Earth Rank weapon named Groundsplitter! It is a heavy sword crafted by a Tier 8 Blacksmith! It weighs around 1000 pounds and is made using Obsidian Steel! With this material along with the spirit core of a Berserk Gorilla, the creator of this heavy sword was able to create the popular skill, Berserker! You all know what Berserker can do right? It can temporarily boost your strength and speed twice than the original but at the expense of rapidly consuming your stamina!”
Dylan was able to create an atmosphere where the people became impatient to see a treasure ever zince the sixth item. Now that the item's quality has increased, the crowd's reaction was exactly what Dylan expected it to be.
”Hell yeah!” The crowd was like a car out of gas that was suddenly filled with fuel! The positive vibe of the crowd was reignited. Energetic shouts and screams soon filled the entire block!
”Now that is a true treasure!!” A man who was sick of waiting siddenly stood up in excitement.
”Berserker, huh... That is one hell of a skill!” The eyes of the adventurer that jus spoke glistened as he continued to stare at the heavy sword.
” Hahaha, this sword is mine!” A barbarically brawny bald man laughed happily.
”Let's see you try! It's mine!” A larger black-skinned guy with a mohawk refuted.
”Don't spout nonsense! In an auction, your money is the one who does the talking!” An off-duty Thundercloud Captain reprimanded the two large men.
”Hahahaha, it seems like many of you are interested with this item. So, I will go straight to the part where I begin the auction for this high quality weapon! The starting price is 2 spirit stones!” Dylan announced loudly.
”I BID 2 SPIRIT STONES!” The brawny bald man stated his bid Iin an astonishingly loud voice.
”3 SPIRIT STONES!” The muscular black skinned mohawk guy roared loudly too.
...
”Hallmaster, what do you think?” Sheldon inquired. Currently, he could not think of the reason why Dylan has eccentrically put a top tier treasure as his sixth item when the auction was only beginning. Not only did it cause confusion, it also caused displeasure to a considerable percentage of the crowd.
”It is far too early to say anything. But for now, I have no comment with regards to the auction.” Azelmek, too. Regardless of anything that he thought, he still could not understand Dylan's line of thought.
”He is unusually enigmatic for his age.” Allen wryly smiled.
*Whoosh* *whoosh*
Suddenly, the wind which moved normally erratically changed directions. With the change of air direction, the wind pressure increased and created a downward breeze. The occurrence of the downward breeze caught the attention of the crowd and along with it experts from different powers descended.
”Whoa! They flew!” A teenager looked in astonishment.
”Does that mean all of these experts are at least Breaking Demarcation Realm Experts?” A wise old bookworm gasped in awe.
Like what he said, all of them were at least at Breaking DemarcationRealm Experts because only practitioners who has reached this stage gains the ability to use their energy to support themselves and allow them to soar and stand afloat in mid-air.
Mortal Severing is the phase of cultivation where abandonment of mortal bindings occur. After the shedding of mortal skin which occurs at Mortal Moulting, the next stage of this realm is the first step to unfetter mortal binding which is breaking the restriction of flight.
