"What a monster!" After a long while, someone in the private box finally spoke. Lin Zhang muttered, "Qin Hao, I finally understand why you're so strong. You're not just hardworking—your talent is monstrous too!"
"Strength rivaling a grandmaster at the eighth layer of the Saint Martial Realm... Qin Hao, do you know what that means? On physical strength alone, you could rank among the top ten on the Hidden Dragon Ranking," Zuo Yichuan said with a wry smile.
"The younger generation is truly formidable!" Zuo Hong exclaimed.
Qin Hao shook his head. "That's nothing. At my current strength, making the Azure Flame Tournament Top 100 would still be difficult."
At that, Zuo Yichuan and Lin Zhang fell silent.
Their ambitions were mostly fixed on the Hidden Dragon Ranking, while Qin Hao had his sights set on the Azure Flame Grand Tournament.
The Hidden Dragon Ranking was impressive, but there was still a considerable gulf between it and the Azure Flame Grand Tournament.
"Twenty-five million!"
Just then, Xu Batian called out again in the Hidden Dragon Hall, driving the bid to twenty-five million Mid-Grade Spirit Stones.
Whispers rippled through the Hidden Dragon Hall.
Even the elders of the Thunderclap Sect and Returning Cloud Valley frowned and conferred in low voices, seemingly deciding whether to keep bidding.
Ordinarily, a Mid-Grade Spirit Artifact cost between fifteen and twenty million Mid-Grade Spirit Stones.
The intermediate Secret Technique, Heaven and Earth Force, was equivalent in grade to a Mid-Grade Spirit Artifact.
But because Heaven and Earth Force was a Cultivation Technique, it was worth more than a Mid-Grade Spirit Artifact. A price above twenty million Mid-Grade Spirit Stones was entirely expected.
At twenty-five million, however, any further Auction Bidding required careful thought. The Heaven and Earth Scripture was incomplete, after all, missing its final layer.
