Opening the Egg on the Spot, Shocking the Entire Audience!

"Sir, he's not one of our Martial Artists..."

Scarhead hurried forward, blocking Lu Xuan.

"Hmm?"

The Qi and Blood Martial Master's gaze fell upon him. With a poof, Scarhead was sent flying, smashing through glass tables and chairs.

Everyone in the private room was shocked.

Lu Xuan's eyes narrowed as he looked at the Qi and Blood Martial Master. The latter still had his chin raised and coldly ordered him:

"Come with me!"

As he turned to leave, Lu Xuan's icy voice cut through the air.

"Apologize!"

Swish!

Instantly, all eyes locked onto them.

They all fell on Lu Xuan, who sat unmoving on the sofa.

"What did you say?"

The Qi and Blood Martial Master's chest heaved violently, a powerful pressure radiating from him, filling the entire room.

"Sorry, sir, sir..."

Scarhead quickly got up, ignoring his injuries, and forced a smile. "He's my nephew, he doesn't understand the rules... Can you overlook his mistake?"

"Apologize!"

Lu Xuan's expression was blank. He swirled the wine glass in his hand and uttered two words again.

Silence...!

The entire private room fell into a deathly hush.

Everyone looked at Lu Xuan, thinking he had gone mad.

A Martial Artist provoking a Martial Master, wasn't that courting death?

Even, They could already imagine Lu Xuan being pinned to the ground and ground to a pulp by the Qi and Blood Martial Master in the next second.

"Hahaha!"

As expected, the Qi and Blood Martial Master burst into unrestrained laughter. He stared at Lu Xuan and sneered, "Kid, do you really think..."

"Apologize!"

But before he could finish, an even colder voice came from the entrance of the private room.

Hearing the voice, the Qi and Blood Martial Master's heart jolted. He quickly restrained his aura, retracted his neck, and turned around.

At the entrance stood the owner of Zero Martial Arts Company, whom Scarhead and the others had mentioned. It was the woman Lu Xuan had seen in the photo.

"Boss!"

Everyone present, except Lu Xuan, bowed respectfully.

The woman nodded and looked at the Qi and Blood Martial Master, repeating her earlier words:

"Apologize!"

"Boss, this..."

"Three!"

Hearing the boss start counting, the Qi and Blood Martial Master abruptly turned, his body bending at a ninety-degree angle, and apologized to Scarhead and the others.

"I'm sorry!"

The sudden change plunged the room into an eerie silence.

Scarhead and the others exchanged bewildered glances.

They couldn't believe their eyes. The Qi and Blood Martial Master, who had been so arrogant moments ago, was now apologizing to them.

And all of this was solely because of Lu Xuan, who was sitting on the sofa!

Shocked and bewildered.

They looked at Lu Xuan with confusion, wanting to speak but hesitating.

At this moment, the woman walked closer, her high heels clicking. As she walked, she said, "What's your Martial Artist squad called?"

"War Spirit Squad."

"Good!"

The woman sat down opposite Lu Xuan and said, "Starting today, your squad's treatment will be upgraded to that of a high-level Martial Artist squad, with a monthly salary of 100,000 Federal Coins, commission calculated separately, and resources equivalent to a Ninth-order high-level Martial Artist..."

As everyone thought their ears were playing tricks on them.

The woman looked up at Lu Xuan and asked, seeking his approval, "Is that good enough?"

Hiss--!

Whether it was the War Spirit Squad or the others from Zero Martial Arts Company, everyone was stunned at this moment.

The problem wasn't with the company, yet their boss was being so polite to a stranger, even a little subservient?

What on earth was going on?

Where was their aloof, pure, and ascetic boss?

Especially Scarhead and the others. They retreated to the side, their eyes meeting as if to say, "Holy crap, could Xiao Xuan really be our boss's boyfriend?"

No one knew why this was happening.

It wasn't until Lu Xuan swallowed the red wine in his hand and revealed a faint smile that things became clearer.

"Not bad."

"As long as you're satisfied."

The woman crossed her legs and waved her hand.

Everyone quickly retreated to the doorway, leaving the space for the two of them.

"My name is Xiao Yu'er," the woman introduced herself.

Lu Xuan put down his wine glass, sat up straight, and replied, "Xuan Lu."

The two looked at each other.

Xiao Yu'er turned her head and looked at the host, who had decisively bought the dead egg for six hundred million. She asked, "Tell me, what's inside the dead egg?"

Lu Xuan nodded. "Shall we open it now?"

He had originally planned to secretly keep it and find a place to refine it.

He hadn't expected Xiao Yu'er to find him so quickly, forcing him to grit his teeth and make a decision.

After all, she was the one who paid to help him.

Fortunately, he had the Holy Cult's token.

At the very least, this woman wouldn't have any ill intentions towards him. The Holy Cult, though evil, strictly forbade its followers from killing each other.

Therefore, Lu Xuan wasn't worried about the woman killing him for the secret of the dead egg after it was revealed.

"...Alright!"

She waved her hand.

Her subordinate immediately took action.

The auction organizer, who had been preparing to put the dead egg away, placed the bird egg back.

Amidst the confused gazes of the crowd.

The host raised his hands and said, "Ladies and gentlemen, I'm sure everyone here wants to know what's inside the dead egg that has been repeatedly passed up for auction?"

"At the buyer's request, we will crack open this dead egg on-site!"

Wow!

The crowd erupted in cheers, waves of excitement washing over them.

"Great! I've long wanted to see what's inside this dead egg. The instruments couldn't get a full scan, and it was sold for a sky-high price of six hundred million. I want to see what they're hiding!"

"Damn it, it caused two major companies to fight over it. If it turns out to be just a puddle of water today, I'll be laughing for a lifetime!"

"..."

The venue buzzed with noise.

People from various major forces also craned their necks, eager to see what was inside the dead egg.

In the Monster Potion Company's private room.

Gong Yubai picked up another glass of red wine and sneered, "Ridiculous. A dead egg. If I hadn't suddenly become interested, would I have bid such a high price?"

"Zero Martial Arts Company, since you want to make a fool of yourselves, don't blame others. Immediately start a live broadcast through your official account!"

"Yes!"

Six hundred million.

For powers like Zero Martial Arts Company and Monster Potion Company, it wasn't a crippling blow, but it was certainly a painful loss, like losing a fingernail that would ache for a long time.

Buying a dead egg for six hundred million was already laughable enough.

To be revealed in public.

Is this meant to be a clown show?

Interesting.

It wasn't just him thinking this; almost everyone present thought the same.

Even...

Someone had already started a livestream, broadcasting a bizarre spectacle to the entire internet.

"Everyone, look!"

Just then, The host shouted, condensing qi and blood into a grinding wheel with his fingertip and pointing it at the dead egg.

At this moment, everyone held their breath, staring intently at the dead egg priced at six hundred million. Some prayed in their hearts, others cursed... amidst a tangle of emotions.

In a flash.

Clang!

The eggshell shattered!

The foul, putrid smell of stagnant water that was expected from a dead egg didn't appear.

Not even a hint of any smell emanated.

The crowd, bewildered, craned their necks to look.

Hummm--!

Suddenly, A powerful force rippled from within the broken egg, surging towards the entire venue like waves.

Standing before the broken egg, the host, a Qi and Blood Martial Master, was forced back several steps by the impact of this power before he could steady himself.

He looked at the egg in disbelief.

His mouth trembled, "This, this isn't a dead egg!"

Others felt this power as well. Tens of thousands of people instantly stood up, leaning forward to get a better look.

At the center of the egg.

A miniature Skyfire Chicken slowly unfurled its wings. Beside it, a Golden Elixir, shimmering with flames, vibrated, emitting a radiant light.

"This, this is... a Qi and Blood Golden Elixir!?"

"There's a Qi and Blood Golden Elixir inside this egg? How, how is that possible!?"

"Heavens, didn't they say it was a dead egg? No, it wasn't dead at all. Look, that bird is still alive!"

Countless people cried out in astonishment, the entire venue shocked.

Bang!

In the VIP box, Gong Yubai crushed the wine glass in his hand, muttering in disbelief:

"How is this possible? How could this be?!"

"Wasn't that a dead egg? A Qi and Blood Golden Elixir..."

Qi and Blood Golden Elixirs weren't particularly precious.

But those were Qi and Blood Golden Elixirs condensed by human Martial Dao Grandmasters. Those condensed by monsters were different.

They possessed attributes!

Upon consumption, one was guaranteed to gain a special attribute divine ability.

Among Beast Lord level monsters, the chance of leaving behind a special attribute divine ability was 1 in 10,000.

One in ten thousand!

This was something money couldn't buy!

"Damn it!"

Gong Yubai cursed, but he didn't lose his composure. His face contorted, "That should have been mine!"

His heart ached as if being sliced by a knife.

He was filled with regret, wishing he had bid a little higher.

What made him even more ashamed was...

"Boss, our livestream is still on."

Gong Yubai's expression instantly returned to calm, only his eyes, as if trying to break free, were locked onto the Qi and Blood Golden Elixir within the dead egg.

Swish!

A Martial Master from Zero Martial Arts Company appeared on the high platform, shielding the bird's egg.
