Long Xiang, sitting in his seat by the auction stage, stiffened slightly when he heard the auctioneer's voice. He was only a Third-Transformation Asura, still a long way from breaking through. At least for now, he had no use for Evil Essence, and even if he did, there was no need to burn through so many
Dragon Sea Star Coins.
"Lin Tanyu!" Long Xiang clenched his fists, his face turning green and purple. He'd originally just wanted to disgust Lin Mo a bit, but he hadn't expected Lin Mo to deliberately jack up the price and then give up.
Inside Box No. 7.
"Long Xiang World General spent 1.9 million Dragon Sea Star Coins. I bet the expression on his face right now is extremely wonderful. For the next batch of Evil Essence, he probably won't make a move again." East Bright Realm General laughed loudly.
Dong Zi also showed a teasing smile on her face, her jade hand lightly covering her lips.
Meng Yu and the Golden Rat both looked at Lin Mo. They hadn't expected Lin Mo to actually screw Long Xiang World General over like that.
"Brother Lin Tanyu, there's still one batch of Evil Essence coming up. Judging by the situation, there shouldn't be anyone competing with you. As for Long Xiang, 1.9 million Star Coins isn't a small amount. He probably can't take out any more." Meng Yu analyzed.
Lin Mo nodded, not paying much attention to this little episode. Instead, his burning gaze was locked onto the stone auction stage. The last batch of Evil Essence—he was determined to get it.
Inside Box No. 4.
Young Master Yan Bei, Qingtong Fairy, and Ji Lie Realm General were all seated inside, all watching the auction stage beyond the crystal wall.
"This Long Xiang really is an idiot, getting played by Lin Tanyu again. But that's fine; I'm not going to let Lin Tanyu get that last batch of Evil Essence so easily." Young Master Yan Bei's lips curled into a sinister smile as he spoke coldly.
Ji Lie said, "Yan Bei, your Dragon Sea Star Coins are to be used for buying the Four Symbols Pill. I'll buy this batch of Evil Essence. I want to try breaking through the hurdle of Fifth Transition Shura anyway."
Hearing Ji Lie's words, Young Master Yan Bei was stunned for a moment, then turned to look at Ji Lie Realm General in surprise. "Senior Brother, you're planning to break through?"
"My physical body and my Heart Realm haven't yet reached the level of a Fifth Transition Shura Realm General, but as long as I'm given some time, I should be able to break through." Ji Lie Realm General nodded lightly.
"Congratulations, Senior Brother. If Senior Brother can advance to Fifth Transition Shura, then what is Jing Yuan Realm General worth?" Young Master Yan Bei said joyfully, piling on the flattery.
Ji Lie Realm General waved his hand. "I just want to give it a try. Fifth Transition Shura is not that easy to break through to." "Senior Brother is shockingly talented, Talent Lin Yue. You'll definitely be able to break through." Young Master Yan Bei was brimming with enthusiasm, still fawning. Once Ji Lie broke through to Fifth Transition Shura, then what would Lin Mo amount to? Young Master Yan Bei was Ji Lie's junior brother; wouldn't he be able to swagger sideways across
Dragon Sea Star, with no one daring to provoke him. In the box, only Qingtong Fairy gently pressed her thin lips together, a trace of complicated emotion flashing through her beautiful eyes. These days, Young Master Yan Bei's behavior had made her heart a tangled mess. Hearing his words, she couldn't help but let out a heavy sigh in her
heart.
She also understood that if she tried to advise Young Master Yan Bei at this time, he simply wouldn't listen.
"The third batch of Evil Essence, starting price: 1 million Dragon Sea Star Coins." The auctioneer said, "This is the last batch of Evil Essence. All you World Generals who need Evil Essence should cherish this chance. Otherwise, you'll have to wait for next month's auction!"
"1.1 million Dragon Sea Star Coins!"
"1.5 million Dragon Sea Star Coins!" Lin Mo directly called out. Just as Meng Yu had predicted, there weren't many people competing for this batch of Evil Essence. First, not many from the Demon Clan were vying for it; second, the World Generals from the Star Sky Alliance weren't willing to compete with someone from the same camp. Moreover, after the bidding incident with Long Xiang World General just now,
many had already guessed the identity of the World General in Box No. 7—Lin Tayu Realm General. A Third-Transformation Asura Realm General was considered mid-level among Asura World Generals. What's more, Lin Mo had defeated Third Transformation Asura Dragon with only Second Transition Asura strength, and when facing the Demon Clan Blood Emperor, he remained fearless in the face of danger—earning the respect and admiration of many Star Alliance Border Generals
.
"2 million Dragon Sea Star Coins!"
After a brief silence, a rather piercing voice suddenly rang out.
The crowd erupted, and then one gaze after another converged on Box No. 4. Even the people from the Demon Clan were surprised; Long Xiang World General and the others were also surprised. No one had expected someone from the Star Sky Alliance Camp to actually compete with Lin Tanyu.
And opening with 2 million Dragon Sea Star Coins!
That was practically the highest price Evil Essence could fetch at auction.
In Box No. 7, Lin Mo's sword eyebrows knit tightly together. He'd just dealt with Long Xiang World General making trouble, and now someone from the Star Sky Alliance Camp was bidding against him—and they seemed to have calculated his available funds exactly. He'd just had 2 million Dragon Sea Star Coins. "Box No. 4, that's Ji Lie Realm General… Young Master Yan Bei." Meng Yu's thick brows furrowed as he snorted coldly. "To think that the dignified Ji Lie Realm General, a Fourth Transition Asura, would behave like such a petty scoundrel. When he couldn't suppress someone with his status, he actually resorted to this kind of underhanded, unsightly trick at an auction."
"Despicable villain." Dong Zi was furious as well.
East Bright Realm General directly handed Lin Mo a Space Ring. "Brother Lin Tanyu, there are 500,000 Dragon Sea Star Coins in here!"
"I still have 1.2 million Dragon Sea Star Coins!" The Golden Rat also immediately took out a Space Ring.
Lin Mo looked at them and shook his head. "I appreciate everyone's kindness, but it seems Ji Lie Realm General is determined not to let me obtain the Evil Essence. Even if we keep bidding and win it at a high price, it won't be worth it."
Meng Yu and the others fell silent, knowing Lin Mo was right. Ji Lie Realm General had been in the Asura Battlefield for a long time, and with his Fourth Transition Asura strength, the treasures and foundation he'd accumulated far surpassed theirs. Continuing to compete would do them no good.
"But Brother Lin Tanyu, you need Evil Essence to advance to Fourth Transition Asura!" the Golden Rat said anxiously. "I, the Golden Rat, love money and am greedy for it, but you're my friend. We've been through life-and-death together. I don't care about this bit of money."
"Golden Rat, I appreciate your kindness, but Fourth Transition Asura isn't that easy to advance to. Even if I got the Evil Essence, I wouldn't have much confidence. Better to wait for the next auction." Lin Mo said with a smile.
Seeing Lin Mo's resolve, the others could only sigh and curse Ji Lie Realm General and Young Master Yan Bei in their hearts.
In the end, the Evil Essence was won by Ji Lie Realm General.
Inside Box No. 3.
Zhai Feng and Chen Jie sat inside, watching the scene that had just played out. Zhai Feng World General frowned. "What is Ji Lie Realm General doing? Competing with Lin Tayu Realm General over Evil Essence? Do they have some kind of grudge?"
Chen Jie also frowned in puzzlement and shook his head. "I don't know either. Ji Lie Realm General and Lin Tayu Realm General don't even know each other. There shouldn't be any grudge, right?"
Zhai Feng World General pondered. "We'll ask Lin Tayu Realm General after the auction is over."
Chen Jie nodded. "Mm, once the auction ends, I'll immediately go ask Lin Tayu Realm General. But Lord Zhai Feng, Ji Lie Realm General is here as well, so he must also be planning to bid on that Treasure. He'll probably compete with you."
"He won't be the only one who wants to compete. It's an auction—highest bidder wins." Zhai Feng World General was very calm.
Chen Jie nodded lightly and said no more.
