• Ning Fengzhi presented Xiao Chen’s one-use flying sword, claiming its full power matched a level-80 Seven-ring Soul Saint, and the auction house summoned its chief appraiser.

• Ning Fengzhi activated the sword partially, and it wounded the appraiser before he managed to defend himself with his Martial Soul and Soul Skills.
• The appraiser estimated a starting bid of one million Gold Soul Coins and a possible sale price near ten million, and Ning Fengzhi agreed to auction it.

The bidding had not yet begun, and the sword’s newly revealed value left the guests eager for it.

• Tang San dismissed the flying sword as inferior to Tang Sect hidden weapons and plotted to obtain it cheaply, while Dai Mubai considered recruiting its maker for his own ambitions.

• The chief appraiser and his colleagues vouched for the sword, saying an ordinary person could kill a Seven-ring Soul Saint with it and that its maker might produce many more.
• The guests reacted with gasps and greed after hearing the appraiser’s claims.

At the auction, Ning Fengzhi bought Xiao Chen’s flying sword for nearly 10 million Gold Soul Coins, and Xiao Chen drew a Master Blacksmithing ability that let him forge weapons without an upper limit if he gathered the materials. Tang San, stung by the flying sword’s success, stayed convinced his own hidden weapons would earn millions as his Hidden Dragon Dart went up for auction.

As the auction neared its end, the auctioneer unveiled a mysterious final item that sent the crowd into a frenzy.

• Prince Xue Xing ordered his men divided between pursuing the flying sword’s forger and protecting him, intending to capture the Hidden Dragon Dart’s forger first.

• The auctioneer revealed a catgirl from a noble family as the final auction item, and bidders including Prince Xue Xing competed for her.
