Supreme Dragon Martial Soul-Chapter 244: Item in the Bag, Flame Trace Sword!

"Forty-five million silver!"

As the bid echoed, the entire auction hall fell silent abruptly.

Everyone was stunned by this price.

"You’ve got to be kidding me, a five-million silver increment in one go!"

"It’s that kid who was competing with Qin Ming earlier. After spending so much, he still has the resources to compete!"

"Heh heh, first challenging Qin Ming, and now provoking Cheng Gong. Whether in terms of wealth or guts, this kid is top-tier! Reckless fool!"

Everyone turned their eyes toward the source of the voice—Luo Cheng’s private booth!

"Luo Cheng!"

Two words squeezed out from between Cheng Gong’s clenched teeth, his narrow eyes flashing with a venomous, snake-like glare. Turning to the other Fierce Cloud Sect disciples, he commanded:

"Give me all the wealth you have on you!"

He hadn’t expected, at the critical moment, for someone to intervene. fɾeeweɓnѳveɭ.com

Forty-five million silver was already beyond his limit!

The Fierce Cloud Sect disciples scraped together their funds. Cheng Gong tallied them up, then raised his head and said grimly:

"Forty-eight million silver!"

As soon as the words fell, a calm voice once again emanated from the private booth:

"Fifty million silver!"

This Soul Crystal had even caused the Nine-colored Scale to react; Luo Cheng was determined to obtain it!

At this price, the entire auction hall was in an uproar.

After all, this was a special auction hosted by Lingyun Pavilion for the Outer Sect Tournament of major sects.

Only Tongxuan Realm martial artists were participating, and the auction items were tailored for them. Such a high price was unprecedented, smashing old records!

"Damn it! I won’t rest until I cut this guy into pieces!"

Cheng Gong slumped into his chair, fists clenched, veins bulging on his forehead, his throat letting out beast-like growls.

Forty-eight million silver had been scraped together by several people, leaving them unable to bid further.

One of the Fierce Cloud Sect disciples suddenly spoke: "Senior Brother Cheng Gong, there’s no need for you to bid against him. Even if he succeeds, it’s just a waste of wealth."

Cheng Gong frowned: "What do you mean?"

The disciple smirked strangely: "Once Luo Cheng leaves Linjiang City, won’t that Earth Rain Snake Soul Crystal be in your pocket, Senior Brother?"

"Hm? Heh heh!"

Cheng Gong froze for a moment, then looked toward Luo Cheng’s booth, smiling:

"Makes sense! How did I not think of this? Let him keep it safe for me for now. It’ll be mine in the end!"

The thought of obtaining the Earth Rain Snake Soul Crystal without spending a single silver brightened Cheng Gong’s mood instantly.

"Fifty million silver, once! Fifty million silver, twice! Fifty million silver, three times! Sold! Congratulations to this gentleman!"

Ye Yan was all smiles.

She had assumed thirty million silver would be an excellent price for the Soul Crystal, never expecting it to set a new record!

Soon, a beautiful maid delivered the Earth Rain Snake Soul Crystal to Luo Cheng’s booth.

Luo Cheng impatiently picked up the Soul Crystal.

Roar!

Suddenly, a deep and ancient dragon roar surged into his mind.

In an instant, Luo Cheng felt as though he were standing in the void of the starry skies, with a primordial vastness all around. The world seemed to have reverted to the chaos of ancient times, with nothing but massive stars the size of fists. Upon closer inspection, these ’stars’ were monumental dragons!

He quickly released the Soul Crystal, and the illusion vanished. However, the Dragon Energy in his Dantian grew increasingly restless, almost as if it was about to burst forth!

"As expected, there’s something extraordinary about this!"

Luo Cheng thought to himself, wiping his palm and tucking away the Earth Rain Snake Soul Crystal.

"Young Master, are you all right?"

The beautiful maid was surprised. In just the brief moment Luo Cheng had held the Soul Crystal, his entire body was drenched in cold sweat.

"I’m fine."

Luo Cheng exhaled lightly and shook his head.

"Then I’ll take my leave for now."

The maid was about to leave.

Luo Cheng’s eyes flashed, halting her: "Wait a moment! I have a Three-star Top Grade Treasure Armor. Can Lingyun Pavilion appraise it and convert it into usable funds for me?"

Luo Cheng had spent over sixty million silver earlier on Soul Crystals and spiritual medicines. With the additional fifty million silver for the Earth Rain Snake Soul Crystal, he had used up most of his funds, leaving only a few million silver, far from enough to bid for the Flame Trace Sword!

With the Outer Sect Tournament imminent, a suitable treasure sword could enhance his combat power by at least thirty percent—an essential acquisition!

"This... I can’t make the decision. I’ll need to ask."

"Alright, take this armor along with you."

Luo Cheng handed over the Purple-Blue Soft Armor.

He wasn’t worried about Lingyun Pavilion pulling any tricks.

The beautiful maid took the Purple-Blue Soft Armor and left the booth.

"No wonder they say cultivating martial arts requires both talent and resources."

Luo Cheng sighed inwardly, resolving to amass wealth in the future.

Otherwise, how could he ever catch up with the Ji Family’s geniuses?

As an Ancient Family, the Ji Family’s foundation was beyond imagination. Its descendants undoubtedly consumed Heavenly Materials and Earthly Treasures as if they were candies, making it hard for their cultivation speed to be slow.

At this point, the third treasure of the auction had already been presented.

It was a Three-star Top Grade Treasure Blade.

The bidding war was intense, and it was ultimately acquired by a middle-aged man in luxurious attire for twenty-eight million silver.

The fourth treasure turned out to be a Three-star Mid Grade Defensive Treasure Armor!

As the armor was unveiled, the auction hall erupted into a frenzy.

What is most important to a martial artist?

Techniques, martial arts, star-level treasures—none are as important as life!

Owning a good defensive star-level treasure could sometimes mean having an extra life!

As soon as the bidding began, the entire auction hall was in an uproar. Both wandering martial artists and sect disciples feverishly raised their bids.

Luo Cheng was indifferent to this trend.

He was more interested in acquiring a fitting treasure sword than an armor.

In his view, no matter how good the defense, there would always be weaknesses.

Instead of focusing on defense, one should aim to strike down the enemy! Solve everything in one blow!

Amid the crowd’s fervent bids, the price of the Three-star Mid Grade Treasure Armor soared. From an initial eight million silver, it skyrocketed past twenty million silver in no time.

However, after exceeding twenty million silver, the bidding began to slow.

In the end, Cheng Gong secured the armor for twenty-six million five hundred thousand silver.

At this moment, the maid returned to the booth and gently placed the Purple-Blue Soft Armor back on the table before Luo Cheng.

Luo Cheng’s eyes narrowed, and he frowned: "What, no deal?"

The maid smiled sweetly: "The Pavilion Master said that this armor is of great importance to you, so you should keep it yourself. As for funds, within a limit of one hundred million silver, you may spend freely. It will all be recorded under the Pavilion Master’s name."

Luo Cheng raised an eyebrow: "Your Pavilion Master knows me? Or are there conditions attached?"

He didn’t believe in free lunches.

The maid shook her head: "I don’t know. The new Pavilion Master has only been here for a few days, and I haven’t seen them. The Pavilion Master said only that if they have a favor to ask in the future, they hope you won’t refuse."

Luo Cheng thought for a moment: "Fine, as long as it doesn’t go against my principles, I can agree!"

He truly needed funds now to bid for the Flame Trace Sword.

And besides, even if they asked for something in the future, it would still be up to him to decide whether to comply!

At this time, another auction item was brought to the stage.

"Next, we present the final item of this auction—its crowning jewel! The Three-star Top Grade Treasure Sword, the Flame Trace Sword!"
