Nine Flames Sovereign

The door of the auction site that Wan Chen rented opened, and two or three outer court Martial Cultivators entered one by one.    

As it was early morning, not many people came.    

S suddenly increased.    

Some of the powerhouses on the Sky Reaching List also slowly arrived.    

Jin Yuankong, Zhu Jintai, Qi Ping, and Long Xiukong arrived together.    

Jin Yuankong's facial expression didn't look good. As the first on the Sky Reaching Ranking, he had been surpassed by the second on the Sky Reaching Ranking. This had given Jin Yuankong a huge blow. The reputation of the Shocking Cloud Hall had already fallen. Because of this incident, the power of the Shocking Cloud Hall had weakened once more.    

Some of the Shocking Cloud Halls had already left the Shocking Cloud Hall. These were all extremely powerful existences, and Jin Yuankong couldn't stop them even if he wanted to.    

Some of the weaker ones did not dare to openly leave the Inner Academy even though they were less than a month away from the Inner Academy's examination. As long as Jin Yuankong and some Top Shocking Cloud Hall experts entered the Inner Academy, what was there for them to be afraid of?    

Anyone with good eyesight could roughly tell that after this inner court exam, if the Shocking Cloud Hall was not maintained by an expert like Jin Yuankong, it would definitely decline from the overlord level. In the future. . .    

. . .    

"Tsk tsk, even Hall Master Jin is here. " Hao Meili walked out of the auction venue and saw Jin Yuankong and the others. She immediately started laughing at them.    

Jin Yuankong's face turned ashen. If it wasn't for the fact that he wanted to auction some items that would be useful for his breakthrough, he wouldn't have come here.    

Looking at Wan Chen was like seeing him fail one after another.    

Concerning that this was Wan Chen's venue, Jin Yuankong could only snort coldly and bear with it.    

Long Xiukong couldn't help but ridicule, "Disgusting perverted woman. "    

Hao Meili's expression turned cold and suddenly slapped across the air.    

Jin Yuankong's eyes turned cold and just as he was about to block it, he was shocked to find that the speed of this palm was extremely fast. Just as he made his move, the fluctuation of this palm had already hit Long Xiukong's body.    

Puff!    

Long Xiukong's face instantly turned pale, and he was sent flying backwards while coughing out blood.    

Jin Yuankong's face was filled with disbelief. "Heaven. . . Heaven-rank!!"    

Hao Meili whistled. "Your eyes are not bad. " Jin Yuankong had a bitter expression on his face. One or two of them had actually broken through to the Heaven-rank before him.    

Zhu Jintai and Qi Ping were preparing to leave a good impression on Long Xiukong. They might be taken care of by the young master of the Long family once they entered the inner courtyard.    

However, when they saw that Hao Meili had already reached the Heaven-rank, the two of them immediately stopped talking.    

Before she broke through to the Heaven-rank, no matter how abnormal she was, she could only be infinitely close to the Heaven-rank when she grasped powerful techniques and innate abilities. The gap between the Heaven-rank and Earth rank was just too great, except for a few abnormal abilities. Very few people could fight a Heaven-rank at the Earth rank.    

However, once one reached the Heaven-rank, the gap between the star level and a Heaven-rank would be reduced. By relying on the abilities of all the previous techniques, one would be able to surpass a star level, or perhaps even more. In other words, Hao Meili's current overall combat strength would not be any weaker than the Heaven-rank Two-star.    

Fighting with such an expert was simply asking for trouble. If they wanted to regain their face, they could only wait until they broke through to the Heaven-rank. Only then would the gap between them shrink.    

"Hall Master Jin, Hall Master Zhu, Hall Master Qi, welcome!" No one knew when, but Wan Chen strode over.    

Wan Chen's arrival had given Jin Yuankong and the others a way out.    

Jin Yuankong forced a smile and said, "Congratulations on breaking through to the Heaven-rank, brother Wan. "    

"Haha! I don't think it will take long for Hall Master Jin to break through to the Heaven-rank. At that time, I might have to congratulate Hall Master Jin. Hall Master Jin, this way please. " Wan Chen made an inviting gesture.    

Jin Yuankong didn't dare to be neglectful. He immediately asked Zhu Jintai and the other two to help Long Xiukong up and followed Wan Chen to the room that was arranged for them.    

Hao Meili curled her lips and felt that it was meaningless. She also walked to the room that Wan Chen had arranged for her.    

After these overlords left, the remaining people started discussing amongst themselves.    

"Hao Meili, this woman has actually broken through to the Heaven-rank! This is unbelievable. "    

"Since Hao Meili has broken through, then Commander Zhen must also be at the Heaven-rank. There are three more Heaven-rank in such a short period of time, this is really. . . " The student shook his head, his face filled with mixed emotions.    

Complicated envy for these people's breakthrough, and also rejoicing that because of these people's breakthrough, the competition pressure in the inner court exam had reduced quite a bit.    

"Did you guys notice? This time Jin Yuankong is so angry that his face is red and his neck is thick. In the end, he still bears with it. "    

"Sigh, so what? This was Wan Chen's place for the time being. Unless Jin Yuankong killed a few Heaven-rank warriors, he could only tolerate it. "    

"Tsk tsk, how domineering was Jin Yuankong in the past, but now. . . "    

"Heh, what's the big deal? Isn't the outer domain like this? Today, you are being arrogant, but tomorrow, I will be arrogant. I heard that the inner domain is even more so. The powers that can remain standing for more than ten years are all Top powers. Every month, there will be new powers and old powers that will be destroyed. "    

"Let's go, let's not stop here. Let's hurry to the main hall and find a good seat to sit down. "    

The second floor was for the Heavenly Connection Ranking experts to temporarily enter. Those below the Heavenly Connection Ranking could only gather in the main hall of the First Layer.    

. . .    

About half an hour later, almost all the people who could arrive had arrived.    

In a certain room on the second floor, Han Feng and Meng Yaqing were sitting inside. Both of them were staring at First Layer through the glass window in front of them.    

They could clearly see the outside through the glass window, but they could only see the darkness outside.    

In the room on the second floor, the higher level of the Sky Reaching List, the closer the room number to the front. Han Feng and Meng Yaqing were in room number one.    

Hao Meili and Zhen Shuai were in room zero.    

Jin Yuankong, who was in room number two, could easily guess that room number one was most likely Han Feng.    

In the entire Sky Reaching Ranking, besides those who had broken through to the Heaven-rank, there was only one person who was above him. In room number two, Jin Yuankong's face was filled with unwillingness. After a long time, he let out a long sigh. A month had passed. That guy must be even stronger now.    

"Eh?" In room number one, Han Feng saw someone familiar through the glass window in the hall on the first floor.    

Immediately, Han Feng called a maid over and gave a few instructions.    

These maids were temporarily rented out from this auction venue and stayed behind to help.    

The maid nodded her head in understanding and left.    

"They actually came, it seems like after the Lake of Death, they've also improved quite a bit" Meng Yaqing looked down and smiled.    

"Yes. When they come, we will know how much their strength has increased. " Han Feng shook the fruit juice that the maid brought over and drank it in one gulp.    

Not long after, there was a knock on the door.    

"Please come in!"    

"Haha, Han Feng, you didn't even make a sound when you came in. If I had known earlier, I would have come straight here. When I saw the gazes of those people looking at Liu'er, I really wanted to gouge their eyes out. "    

The voice was extremely loud. It was Wang Qingcang.    

Liu Yu’er followed beside Wang Qingcang.    

After Han Feng stood up and gave Wang Qingcang a hug, he said disdainfully: "The Cultivation base has already reached the peak of Earth rank Nine-star. It seems like it isn't far from Ten-star. It already has the combat strength of the Heavenly Connection Ranking. "    

"With the combat strength of the Heavenly Connection Ranking, who can you blame for going to the First Layer Hall?"    

Liu Yu’er who was standing at the side burst into laughter. The two of them who were not powerful went to talk to Meng Yaqing.    

Wang Qingcang looked helpless. "I just broke through and didn't have time to challenge you. Besides, I also want to break through to the Ten-star. I will challenge her after my sword intent reaches 40%. At that time, my overall combat strength will be comparable to the Middle Upper-grade of the fifth level of the Heavenly Ranking. Rather than climbing up step by step, I might as well accumulate my strength and amaze the world. "    

" Alright, it's up to you. Hurry up and sit down. The auction is about to begin. " Han Feng beckoned Wang Qingcang to sit down.    

After Wang Qingcang sat down, he turned his head and looked at the neighboring room. His face darkened. "Long Xiukong and the others are next door, right? I would like to see what items Long Xiukong will bid for. " Han Feng instantly understood. This person was here to inquire about the enemy.    

If there was a possibility of disrupting the situation, that would be even better.    

. . .    

In front of the hall on the first floor, on a high platform that was about half a meter tall, Wan Chen slowly walked to the front desk from behind and his voice suddenly increased. A voice mixed with a bit of telekinesis rang out: "Welcome to my personal auction, this time there are more than a hundred items. Among them, there are Earth ranks and Spirit Fruits that can increase the strength of a peak Earth rank, and they will be auctioned with points. The highest bidder will know. "    

"Now, I announce the start of the auction. "    

"The first item. . . "
