Judge for yourselves—auction!
Lin Chen frowned.
Does that mean no refunds for mistaken purchases?
Sure enough.
Two auction items wrapped in white cloth appeared before Hera!
Their shapes could not be discerned from the outside.
But Hera introduced them solemnly:
"Everyone! You've been waiting for this, haven't you? Then I won't keep you in suspense!"
"One of these auction items came from the Demon Cave, while the other came from the Eye of Death... Judge for yourselves—auction!"
As soon as she finished speaking!
The white cloth covering the two auction items was lifted away!
What came into view was a silver chunk of iron and half of a crystal-clear fragment!
Starting bid: 50 million!
As soon as the finale items appeared, the comments exploded across the screen!
"Holy shit! The Eye of Death is one of the Ten Great Forbidden Lands! Anything that comes out of there has to be treasure!"
"What kind of fragment is that? It looks incredible! Could it be a fragment of some big shot's weapon?"
"As everyone knows, the Eye of Death is a forbidden land that has buried countless Beast Race and Human Race experts. Anything that comes out of there is probably beyond imagination!"
"A treasure of this level showing up in the Novice Hall is way too outrageous! Which big shot is this for?"
"I'm bidding! This treasure came from the Eye of Death! The last person to walk out of the Eye of Death is already War God Level now, right?"
"That's right! That place is a treasure trove! It may be dangerous, but the rewards are real!"
Its popularity was even higher than that of the Martial Ancestor Level armor!
As a result, the silver chunk of iron from the Demon Cave was almost completely ignored!
It was as though it were some inconspicuous trinket!
Lin Chen glanced at it and felt that it was far too expensive!
It did not seem to match its value!
Then he looked at the crystal-clear half-fragment, and his eyes grew somewhat heated!
After becoming a Martial Artist,
Lin Chen had learned more or less about common Martial Artist knowledge!
For example, the forbidden land known as the Eye of Death!
It was a secret realm battlefield that had appeared after the Spirit Revival!
Legend had it that it contained countless unbelievable heavenly treasures!
No one knew how many Human Race and Beast Race experts had died there fighting over treasures.
Because the time of its appearance was uncertain,
as time passed,
it became a forbidden land!
Only when the Eye of Death appeared could the various factions enter and investigate it!
There had been Human Race Martial Master Realm experts who entered the Eye of Death and reached Martial King Realm War God Level shortly after coming out!
There had also been king-level Demon Beasts of the Beast Race that entered the Eye of Death and directly broke through to Emperor-Level Beast Emperor after emerging!
All kinds of rumors indicated that it contained overwhelming opportunities!
Lost in thought, Lin Chen sighed.
He glanced numbly at the fragment, whose price had already risen to one billion!
If I had ten billion right now, I'd definitely go for it!
Unfortunately, he did not!
Seeing that he had no fate with the treasure,
Lin Chen planned to leave!
Obtaining a Second-Level Martial Technique was already quite good for him!
But just as Lin Chen was about to exit the consciousness space!
The Demon Blade inside his Warrior Badge suddenly moved!
It gave a slight tremble, as though it had sensed something!
Lin Chen knew that this blade had an extraordinary origin.
He immediately summoned it into his hand!
Since entry into the auction was virtual,
the Demon Blade was naturally not materialized either!
The moment Lin Chen summoned it,
its edge pointed toward the silver chunk of iron!
For an instant,
he felt as though the blade were alive!
But Lin Chen had studied it and checked all kinds of information.
He had still found no clues concerning the Demon Blade!
It was as though it were merely a piece of scrap metal dug out of the ground!
Lin Chen had happened to come buy a blade, and it had fallen into his hands!
Then,
he discovered its extraordinary nature!
Lost in thought, Lin Chen glanced at the Demon Blade.
Then his gaze fell upon the silver chunk of iron!
This thing was irregular all over.
It looked something like a ball.
Yet its surface was uneven.
It was covered in bumps and sharp angles!
Perhaps only the Beast Race in the Demon Cave knew where it came from!
At that moment, the Demon Blade began buzzing again.
It was as though it were urging Lin Chen to buy it quickly!
Secretly shocked, he gritted his teeth.
He chose to trust the Demon Blade this once!
[Do you wish to place a rush bid...]
Lin Chen tapped yes!
There was no suspense.
No one cared about the chunk of iron at all.
As a result, Lin Chen obtained it the moment he placed a rush bid!
Looking at the chunk of iron worth fifty-five million in his storage, he felt a pang of pain!
After all, he had not even finished paying off his mortgage yet!
But he had already bought it!
Lin Chen could not be bothered to think too much about it.
Just as he was about to leave, a notification popped up in the window!
[Congratulations! Your spending has exceeded 50 million. You have obtained Intermediate VIP status and three auction entry tickets! Would you like to go to the Intermediate Hall?]
Lin Chen took one look and exited directly!
Having just spent sixty million, he only had 37.23 million left!
The feeling of being poor washed over him once more!
When he opened his eyes,
Lin Chen had returned to the quiet room!
It was already three in the morning!
He had spent a full three hours in the virtual auction hall!
After glancing around,
Lin Chen waved his hand.
The Second-Level Martial Technique, Sky-Rending Slash, appeared on the table.
Along with it was a silver chunk of iron!
Sky-Rending Slash was also a blade-type Combat Skill.
Lin Chen merely looked it over a few times before putting it away, planning to practice it more at the training ground!
As for the silver chunk of iron worth fifty-five million, he examined it carefully!
After looking at it for around ten minutes,
Lin Chen found nothing.
Judging by its appearance, there was nothing unusual about the chunk of iron at all!
Frowning, Lin Chen waved his hand again!
The Demon Blade appeared in the quiet room!
The instant it appeared, it let out a series of buzzing sounds!
Visible to the naked eye!
The silver chunk of iron on the table instantly burst forth with dazzling silver light!
As though it had undergone some sort of chemical reaction with the Demon Blade, it immediately floated into the air!
Seeing this scene!
Lin Chen was utterly stunned!
The instant the silver chunk of iron approached the Demon Blade, it turned into silver liquid!
Then it sank into the blade and vanished!
He could clearly see that a palm-sized patch of silver blade had appeared on the surface of the Demon Blade!
Fifty million had just vanished like that?
Wide-eyed, Lin Chen swallowed, suddenly feeling a little dumbfounded!
But in the next second, the sight before him startled him!
Perhaps the Demon Blade had sensed Lin Chen's pain over the money!
It automatically floated into the air and slashed at the wall!
Crack!
The sound was as smooth as a kitchen knife slicing through tofu!
A barely noticeable cut appeared in the wall, which was supposedly capable of withstanding attacks from a Ninth-Level Demon Beast!
Then, the Demon Blade returned to Lin Chen's hand!
For some reason!
He could clearly feel that this blade was different now!
He glanced at the cut in the wall!
Then instinctively reached out and touched it.
Afterward, he threw out a full-force punch!
The wall was completely undamaged, while his fist hurt a little instead!
Only then did Lin Chen, whose punch could blast apart a Second-Level Demon Beast, believe that this wall was not some shoddy construction!
Then he threw another punch while wearing the Black Tungsten Battle Armor!
The result was the same as before—the wall was completely undamaged!
One had to know that after putting on the Black Tungsten Battle Armor!
Lin Chen's combat power was infinitely close to that of a Four-Star Martial Artist!
Accepting this fact, he finally confirmed that he had gotten a steal!
What he had gotten for a steal was not the silver chunk of iron, but the Demon Blade!
The extraordinary nature of this blade was far more terrifying than he had imagined!
For some inexplicable reason!
Lin Chen suddenly wanted to take the blade to the 0914 Danger Zone for a try!
