Chapter 528: Annual Auction Event

Ye Zi activated the crystal with only a level two soul energy in order to testify Wang Tong's claim regarding the zero-level requirement for using the crystal. Suddenly, a bright white light shed from above onto Antonio, as well as a few buyers sat at the front row.
The feeling was palpable for anyone inside the light.
”Gosh! I leveled up!”
”Where does this power come from?”
The ones in the audience seats were the first to notice the effect. They were of much lower level than Antonio, and therefore, they quickly felt the surge of energy.
On the stage, the gauge read that Antonio had just leveled up into level nineteen.
Syracuse was under the light as well, and he felt the warm energy swimming inside his system as well. If he were impressed by the spell, he didn't show it on his face.
Due to Antonio's relatively high level, the effect lasted only five minutes. However, it was enough to impress everyone at the auction. The audiences under the stage felt that the effect on them had lasted for more than ten minutes. In addition, after the effect had subsided, no one felt any signs of withdrawing too much energy as one would after using the conventional buff spells.
Since a Sect medic verified the crystal and the spells, it gained solid support from the Divine Mastery sect.
Despite the impressed murmurs around her, Ye Zi was still worried that these crystals were not going to fetch as high a price as Wang Tong had hoped.
”This crystal still has two charges left, and the rest each have three charges. All three will be sold together, starting at ten thousand blues.”
As soon as Syracuse had finished his announcement, the bidding started. ”Twenty thousand!” It was someone from Cesar City.
”Thirty thousand!”
”Thirty-five thousand. ” Sander's voice boomed inside the auction hall.
Although Jade city was a small city, Sanders could not pass up the opportunity of acquiring the most valuable mastery artifact, especially when these crystals were already inside his city.
”Fifty thousand!” The huge increment in price made Sanders's offer look pathetic.
Duo Lun and Tan Bu stared at each other in surprise, shocked at the promise of getting filthy rich.
Silence fell into the auction hall for a few seconds, before another voice rose.
”Sixty thousand.”
The anonymous speaker was from Dawn Light City, the headquarters of Divine Mastery sect. After a long silence laced with murmur and gasps, Syracuse finally struck the gavel on the podium.
”DEAL!”
Duo Lun and Tan Bu's face bloomed like two flowers.
The three Divine Light crystals were sold, and now everyone's shifted their attention onto the two crystals of Infernal Hell.
”These two crystals each contain a level nineteen fire element spell—Inferno Hell. It is an area of effect spell with an effective radius of fifty meters. Anything within that radius will be reduced to ashes in a blink. The minimum requirement for using the spell is level five, and the range of the spell is two hundred meters. Since it will be difficult to verify such devastating power, I urge everyone to have faith in the credibility of the Fire Lord.”
Although the two crystals could not be tested, the sale of the last three crystals lent credence their effect. Plus, everyone had heard the news of Guan Dongyang's recent victory over the Zergs using his powerful fire spell. However, since it was unconventional to auction something that could not be verified, Syracuse started the price at five thousand and let his customers decide for themselves.
Walking in the streets with a level nineteen fire spell was like walking with a weapon of mass destruction. Such a weapon was able to change the tide of the battle in an instant.
Ten thousand!
Fifteen thousand!
Twenty thousand!
Although mastery casters had become prevalent over the years, it was hard to find a level nineteen caster. Therefore, any spell from a powerful level nineteen caster such as Guan Dongyang would be highly sought after.
The two Inferno Hell crystals were finally sold for eighty thousand blues in total. The two crystals had been an eye opener for everyone at that auction.
Syracuse was more than happy with the outcome of the auction. It was a good start for his collaboration with Battle Wolf. The power of these crystals convinced him that only his financial clout could construct a large enough platform for their sales.
When Syracuse was about to announce the end of the auction, a worker hurried to his side and whispered to him. Syracuse turned around and announced to the audiences, ”Next, I am about to present to you an even more amazing item!”
Syracuse's announcement caught everyone' attention, including those who had already left their seats. They quickly returned to their seats and looked at the stage attentively.
Lu Duo strode onto the stage with nothing in his hand. No one, not even Syracuse, knew what it was about. He was only told that Wang Tong requested the showing of one last item. To show his goodwill, Syracuse had made an exception and allowed the auction of the last item that he was uninformed of.
