Sacred Martial Divine Sovereign

Ao Lingchen sat by the window, his pupils contracting as he curiously stared at the fiery-red bead on the tray, wanting to see what was going on.    

"Is there anything special about this bead?"    

After observing it carefully, Ao Lingchen looked at Shang Yun, who was beside him, with puzzlement.    

The power of the red bead was not strong, but it gave him an ordinary feeling. At most, it was equivalent to the Qi of a lower Profound Level.    

Shang Yun gently peeled the big orange with her jade-like hand. She glanced at Ao Lingchen with disdain, "With your stupid look, you definitely won't be able to see through it. Just listen to me and take it."    

Ao Lingchen was speechless. He felt that he should not casually ask Shang Yun anymore. Otherwise, he would sooner or later be looked down upon by her and choke to death.    

Ignoring Shang Yun, Ao Lingchen leaned on the comfortable bench and waited for the auction to begin.    

From the beginning of the auction until now, this was the first time Shang Yun had asked him to get the treasure. It was probably not an ordinary item. He must get it.    

"Everyone!" On the auction stage, Ouyang Zi pointed at the fiery-red pearl beside him. He said happily, "This is a rare low-grade Profound Level Divine Weapon, the Fire Devouring Bead. It has a very special effect, it can absorb flames. If everyone uses this Fire Devouring Bead when facing the attack of the fire martial skill... It would be able to absorb all of the flames that were attacking into the bead and nullify the killing move. The starting price is 300 Low-grade Essence Stones!"    

" Fire Devouring Bead? Absorbing flames, a very good effect."    

"Low-grade Profound Level, how much can I absorb, and how fast can I absorb them? It's just a small price, and the starting price isn't low either. I can definitely buy a better defensive Divine Weapon."    

"No way, I still want to bid for it?"    

As soon as Ouyang Zi's voice faded, a wave of discussion broke out in the auction hall. What surprised everyone was that not many people were optimistic about this so-called Fire Devouring Bead.    

The discussion below the stage made Ouyang Zi's expression slightly ugly. He deliberately did not mention the strength and speed of the Fire Devouring Bead's absorption of flames.    

He had once used the Fire Devouring Bead. He knew very well that this thing was of little value. This thing could indeed absorb flames, but its absorption speed was not fast. In a real fight, this thing simply did not need to go up the stage.    

Time passed bit by bit. There was still no one in the stadium who bid. This made Ouyang Zi feel hurt. Could it be that the record of his auction career, which had never been auctioned, was going to be broken today?    

"Since no one wants it, then I want it. Three hundred and fifty!"    

Looking at the heated discussion in the auction house, but no one made a bid, Ouyang Zi's expression became even uglier. Ao Lingchen smiled, and a refreshing voice came out of his mouth.    

The moment Ao Lingchen bid, many people on the auction stage turned around and looked outside his room. Everyone was interested in this mysterious man who was praised by the Third Master of Chen family.    

After Ao Lingchen made his bid, everyone tacitly didn't participate in the bidding. Their eyes swept back and forth between his private room and the Chen family's private room, full of anticipation.    

"Hu!"    

Unlike the crowd below the auction stage who were watching the show, Ouyang Zi who was standing on the auction stage let out a long breath. His eyes were filled with gratitude as he looked at Ao Lingchen's private room.    

Regardless of the reason Ao Lingchen bid, he had at least saved himself from the situation where he might lose the bid. This was something worthy of him having a good impression of him.    

"350 Low-grade Essence Stones, is there anyone else who wants to bid? If there isn't, then this Fire Devouring Bead will belong to this distinguished guest. 350 Low-grade Essence Stones, is there anyone else who wants to bid? If not, then this Fire Devouring Bead will belong to this distinguished guest."    

Ouyang Zi was in a good mood, and he shouted out loudly. He didn't care how high the price of this Fire Devouring Bead would be.    

In the private room of Chen family.    

"Dad, are you really not going to raise the price?"    

Chen Jingyu leaned on a rocking chair and looked at his father with an unwilling expression. If he didn't cause Ao Lingchen and the others some trouble, he would feel very uncomfortable.    

"Alright, we are here for that thing. There is no need to waste time on this kind of thing!"    

Chen Hsingloong glanced at his nephew beside him and said calmly.    

"Shut up, brat."    

Chen Yuanba glared at his son.    

Facing the warning from his father and big uncle, even though Chen Jingyu was unhappy in his heart, he no longer spoke nonsense.    

The Chen family, which everyone was looking forward to, did not bid. In the end, the Fire Devouring Bead was also won by Ao Lingchen at a price slightly higher than the auction price.    

"Just what kind of effect does this Fire Devouring Bead have?"    

The bead that Shang Yun had suggested was successfully obtained. Ao Lingchen also let out a long sigh of relief. He looked at the former with a curious expression. The reason why he had bid... Until now, he still did not know what effect this bead had.    

"You'll know when you get it. It's a waste to say it now!"    

With an indifferent look, Shang Yun concentrated on eating all kinds of fruits, as if she wanted to eat all the things that she had never eaten in a dangerous place.    

Looking at the foodie who did not want to care about him at all, Ao Lingchen felt suffocated in the middle of his chest. In the end, he could only sigh helplessly. He knew that if Shang Yun did not want to say it, he would not be able to do anything to her.    

"Everyone, it is finally the moment where everyone is looking forward to. The final auction item of the auction is the real finale."    

A loud and excited voice suddenly sounded from Ouyang Zi's throat, and instantly spread throughout the entire auction hall.    

"It's coming, it's finally coming!"    

"The real finale is here!"    

As soon as Ouyang Zi finished speaking, there was a burst of heated discussion in the restaurant, as if everyone was waiting for the so-called finale.    

"The finale? Could it be that those private rooms didn't offer a price for this grand finale?"    

A trace of anticipation surged into Ao Lingchen's eyes as he looked at the bustling scene outside the crystal wall. From the start of the auction, there seemed to be only a few boxes participating in the bidding. As for those close to the front, such as the Chen family, none of them had participated in the bidding.    

Since even their patriarch had chosen to participate in the auction, he must have come for something.    

Besides, from the beginning of the auction until now, there were many treasures being auctioned. They were considered rare, but Ao Lingchen had never seen a truly valuable item. Since this auction was held once every five years, it definitely wouldn't be so simple.    

Now, it seemed like the good items were indeed placed last.    

"It's placed last at the end. I'm really looking forward to it."    

Suen Zhiming and the others also looked outside the crystal wall with anticipation. Perhaps this so-called finale was a sky-high price that they could not afford, but it did not affect them from watching the show.    

"In order to welcome everyone, there are three grand finale items today. I believe that none of them will disappoint you. Next, let's auction the first item."    

As he spoke, Ouyang Zi gestured for the guards below to bring the item up.    

Two guards carried a square box about one meter tall onto the auction stage and gently placed it on the ground.    

"It's finally here!"    

In many of the rooms, the big shots who could make Imperial Capital tremble with a light stomp of their feet had excited expressions on their faces. Before they came, they already knew what the final treasure was.    

"A chest?"    

Unlike the people from the major powers in the rooms, most of the people in the auction house were looking at the box on the auction stage. Their faces were filled with astonishment, as if they had never thought that the final item of this auction would be a box.    

"Could it be that the grand finale is the box in front of us? Or perhaps there is something inside."    

Ao Lingchen and the rest also looked at the auction stage with shocked expressions.    

"I think everyone wants to know what the first finale is. I won't keep you in suspense. Please take a look!"    

Ouyang Zi was very satisfied with the discussions around him. He smiled happily and walked to the side of the box. His right hand gently pressed on the top of the box.    

"Kacha!"    

A crisp sound was heard. The silent box seemed to have been activated and bloomed like a lotus.    

"It's actually!"    

A series of gasps immediately rang out in the stadium.
