Soul Land V: Rebirth of Tang San-Chapter 982 - 980: Auctioning the Ferocious Dragon
"It's precisely because I was once a part of the mutated, I know the immense pain they are enduring. Dad, if possible, I hope you can buy it. Consider me selfish, but I want you to help it find release. Death might already be the best refuge for it, certainly better than enduring its own madness and agony all the time."
While Jingjing was telling this to Tang San, the bidding price had already exceeded ten thousand Purple Crystal Coins.
Paying over ten thousand Purple Crystal Coins for a ferocious dragon, to bring it back for euthanasia, indeed sounds rather excessive. What buying power ten thousand Purple Crystal Coins represent!
However, Tang San could feel Jingjing's sadness at this moment. Obviously, the mutation it experienced must have involved unbearable pain as well.
"Dad, it won't be completely useless; I can replicate its destructive attribute, to assist you in battles later on. This attribute is very special and powerful."
"That's not an attribute of destruction, but an attribute of destruction, the opposite of creation," Tang San said softly.
"Attribute of destruction?" Jingjing was taken aback.
"Yes. This clansman of yours is very special. An attribute of destruction is not easy to possess; it is exclusive to the Divine Realm and shouldn't appear outside the Divine Realm at all. It should have collapsed and been completely destroyed by now. But it endured and is still alive, which is incredibly astonishing. If I could take it back to the Divine Realm, it might truly survive and regain its sanity. I must tell you that this ferocious dragon's will to live is the strongest I have encountered in this plane. It doesn't want to die; otherwise, it could have died long ago. It just can't control its own destructive power. I can bid on it and try to help it, at least to reduce some of its pain. If my power is sufficiently restored in the future, I may consider taking it back."
Destruction is one of the most fundamental forces in the universe, coexisting with creation. In the Divine Realm, creation and destruction are the core forces. Never think that destruction is bad; if a Divine Realm lacks the power of destruction to control its growth and evolutionary direction, then the Divine Realm simply cannot last eternally.
In Tang San's Divine Realm, there are gods of Life and Destruction, both of which are of the God King level. If this ferocious dragon born with the power of destruction could be brought back and given to the God of Destruction in the Douluo Divine Realm for care, it would benefit the Divine Realm.
As for the specific condition of this ferocious dragon, Tang San also needs time to carefully sense and judge, to see if he could provide some assistance with his current power.
But it was evidently impossible to acquire this ferocious dragon at a low price.
"Eleven thousand Purple Crystal Coins, VIP Room No.1." The Sunflower Spirit Clan bid again. As the top race of the Rihchen Empire well versed in the research of mutation bloodlines, how could they not be interested in this ferocious dragon's unique bloodline?
"Eleven thousand one hundred Purple Crystal Coins." Another non-VIP room made a bid.
"Twelve thousand Purple Crystal Coins, VIP Room No.8."
The sudden significant raise in the price silenced the Grand Ancestral Auction House for a moment. Almost all bidders had the same thought, 'Is it him again?'
Yes, it was Tang San again.
'Why is it him again?' For a moment, all bidders couldn't help but curse inwardly, 'Damn tycoon!'
Twelve thousand Purple Crystal Coins, this was the second instance of this price appearing at this super auction. The first bidder was notably VIP Room No.8 as well! What was this stunt? Did he have money to burn?
The Blue Gold Tree Clan did not have an emperor; previously, the Great Demon Emperor Heavenly Fox had already stated that it would be best for a race with an emperor to participate in the auction, to ensure safety.
Yet Tang San made that bid!
"Twelve thousand one hundred Purple Crystal Coins. VIP Room No.1."
"13,000 Purple Crystal Coins, VIP Room No.8."
Tang San displayed a resolve to win, raising the bid by another thousand.
"Without an Emperor, how can you intimidate?" From inside VIP Room No.1, an angry voice sounded.
Isn't that the voice of Old Acquaintance King of the Fiery Sun? The corners of Tang San's mouth curled slightly upward. Previously, at the Huoli Clan's side, the Sunfire King had been defeated by him. He hadn't expected to clash with him again here.
"Do not disrupt the auction." On the auction stage, Great Demon Emperor Heavenly Fox's expression darkened, and a beam of white light enveloped VIP Room No.1.
He had only suggested that races with an Emperor participate in the bidding, but he never said that only races with an Emperor could bid. Clearly, the overreaction of the Sunflower Spirit Clan was a disgrace. Previously, Xu Anyu, the Light Dragon King who had greatly desired the Light Dragon Spear, had not made a sound during the bidding process.
Anger from humiliation is good! The corners of Tang San's mouth slightly curled up. He didn't care about these details; as long as the Tianyang Spirit King did not speak up, was he supposed to fear the Sunflower Spirit Clan? Judging from the Tianyang Spirit King's attitude towards the Sunflower Spirit Clan, it seemed he didn't have a good impression of his own varied bloodline race. Perhaps, for all existent varied bloodlines, their own race's attitude is not very favorable. After all, the variation process is a matter of life and death! Looking at the present Ferocious Dragon, they are probably all emotionally affected.
"13,000 Purple Crystal Coins, first call. Due to VIP Room No.1 disrupting the auction rules, this lot will no longer be eligible for bidding," declared Great Demon Emperor Heavenly Fox calmly.
After all, he is the true authority of the Ancestral Court; at such a public and unprecedented grand auction, fairness is most crucial. Otherwise, powerful races threatening other bidders would disrupt the continuation of the bidding process.
No further bids followed, as the price was already quite high. Moreover, the uncontrollability of the Ferocious Dragon still caused many bidders to be apprehensive.
"13,000 Purple Crystal Coins, second call."
"13,000 Purple Crystal Coins, third call. Sold."
Tang San secured the Ferocious Dragon at the highest price of the venue. Just for the Ferocious Dragon and the Light Dragon Spear, he had already spent as much as 25,000 Purple Crystal Coins.
"Patriarch, can we control this Ferocious Dragon?" the Great Elder asked with some concern.
Tang San smiled faintly and said, "Wait until we take it back. If we can't control it, can't the Tree Ancestor control it? If anyone on the Continent could possibly restore the Ferocious Dragon's sanity, then the Tree Ancestor is definitely the most likely candidate."
Hearing him say this, the eyes of the Blue Golden Tree Clan Elders present could not help but light up. If this Ferocious Dragon could be restored to sanity and be subdued, then wouldn't the Blue Golden Tree Clan have a powerful new guardian deity? With strength close to that of an Emperor and the physique of a Dragon, it would certainly be extremely adept at combat. Truly a worthwhile expenditure.

For a moment, the Elders' eyes looking at Tang San couldn't help but fill with even more admiration.
The last auction item finally reached a climax with the fifth lot fetching a high price of 13,000 Purple Crystal Coins. The Ferocious Dragon became the possession of the Blue Golden Tree Clan.
The massive auction stage slowly descended, and the again slumbering Ferrous Dragon also sank and disappeared, waiting to be handed over thereafter.
The eyes of Great Demon Emperor Heavenly Fox swept across the direction of the VIP rooms, and the white light covering VIP Room No.1 also disappeared.
"Next up for auction are the final five items. I can inform all bidders in advance that the last five items are each a true Heavenly and Earthly Treasure and the highlight of this grand auction. Prepare your Purple Crystal Coins. Now, let's present our first final highlight item."
At his command, the entire Grand Ancestral Auction House's atmosphere suddenly darkened, as if transitioning from day to night.
