Chapter 563: Wind Thunder Wings

Chapter 563: Wind Thunder Wings

The auction continued and precious items were revealed one after the other, inviting competitive bids.

“Auction item no.65. Earth class peak-tier artifact armor, Red Lotus Armor. It is evaluated at 2-star and it is a set with the Red Lotus Sword. The person who forged them is the renowned Smith Monarch Red Flower. The starting price is 10,000 mid-grade spirit stones.”

As the auctioneer Luo Qiong finished his words, the bids started.

No one bothered if the Red Lotus Sword and the Red Lotus Armor were a set, since it didn’t affect the functionality of it.

Especially monarchs who weren’t swordsmen. They weren’t interested in Red Lotus Sword but were very interested in the Red Lotus Armor.

“15,000.”

“18,000.”

The price of the Red Lotus Armor was climbing quickly and it was already close to 20,000 mid-grade spirit stones.

“25,000.” Li Fuchen wasn’t going to give up on the Red Lotus Armor.

Since the Red Lotus Sword and the Red Lotus Armor were a set, when used together, they would exhibit power that was better when used individually.

Therefore, Li Fuchen added 7000 mid-grade spirit stones in a single bid.

“Who is that? So aggressive!”

“People sitting in private rooms are mostly Primary Sea Realm monarchs.”

“You are wrong. When the auction started, I saw a young Battle Spirit Realm master entering that private room.”

“A Battle Spirit Realm master dares to contest for the Red Lotus Armor? What is his background?”

When Li Fuchen made the bid, it caused a commotion.

Everyone believed that Li Fuchen had a powerful background. It was impossible for a Battle Spirit Realm master to have so many spirit stones if he didn’t have any background.

During recent times, offending a youth master was worse than offending a monarch.

Recently, a mid-level monarch killed a youth master.

It turned out that the youth master was an emperor-class disciple from a monarch-class sect. As a result, the monarch-class sect activated all their monarchs to investigate. Ultimately, the mid-level monarch and his clan members were all eradicated overnight. Back then, even the city lord residence which was maintaining the order didn’t dare to interfere as they were afraid of infuriating this monarch-class sect.

“26,000!”

Not far away from Li fuchen, in another private room, there was a 5th level Primary Sea Realm monarch who looked ugly and fierce that had made a bid.

“30,000.” Li Fuchen was determined to obtain the Red Lotus Armor.

“Damn it.”

The ugly monarch crushed the teacup in his hand and stopp bidding.

No one else bid as well.

30,000 was too high a price.

During the auction, the final bid of an item would only be 150% of the starting price.

When it was 200% of the price, it was already overpriced.

Anything more was already beyond overpriced.

Only those popular auction items would be bought at an overpriced value. But twice the starting price was already the limit and anything beyond that was simply a waste of spirit stones.

“Auction item no.82. Earth class peak-tier cardinal artifact, Sun Ring. This ring is extremely rare. When qi is poured inside, the Sun Divine Needle can be shot out. If it is used by a Battle Spirit Realm master, it can produce a power that is enough to kill low-level Primary Sea Realm monarchs. If used by a Primary Sea Realm monarch, it is enough to kill a mid-level Primary Sea Realm monarch. The starting price will be 30,000 mid-grade spirit stones.”

Luo Qiong’s face was filled with confidence. He believed that this Sun Ring would definitely cause an uproar.

“35,000.”

“40,000.”

“45,000.”

As expected, when the extremely dazzling Sun Ring appeared in everyone’s eyes, there was chaos. Even some of the mid-level monarchs had revealed interested expressions.

If a Battle Spirit Realm master wore this ring, the master would have a method to kill low-level monarchs.

If a low-level monarch wore this ring, it would mean there was a method to kill mid-level monarchs.

If a mid-level Primary Sea Realm monarch was to wear this ring, the monarch would have more variation in moves. During crucial moments, the ring might just be able to overcome the enemy and achieve victory. After all, there were moments when cardinal artifacts were much more reliable than qi.

When one was within the Qi Forbidden Array, qi wouldn’t be able to be released from the body but cardinal artifacts were able to execute attacks.

“50,000.”

“What is 50,000 considered? I bid 55,000.”

“I, the Golden Spear Monarch, is offering 60,000. Anyone who dares to contest with me is considered as a disrespect to me.”

The Golden Spear Monarch was at 4th level Primary Sea Realm and was considered famous in South Sun County.

Most importantly, the Sun Ring might be good, but it wasn’t especially effective for mid-level monarchs, therefore, he dared to act rampantly.

“Golden Spear King, the others might be afraid of you, but I, the Wind Saber Monarch, aren’t afraid of you. 62,000.”

“Wind Saber Monarch, one day, I will beat you up into the Crazy Saber Monarch.”

(TL note: In this statement Wind and Crazy has a similar sound in Chinese)

The Golden Spear Monarch had a malicious expression and did not continue bidding.

His entire wealth was around 600,000 mid-grade spirit stones and most of them were in the form of useful items. In terms of pure mid-grade spirit stones, he had less than 200,000 and there wasn’t a need for him to offend the other side for this ring.

Of course, if this Sun Ring wasn’t an earth class peak-tier cardinal artifact but a pseudo-heaven class cardinal artifact, he would even fork out his entire wealth to purchase it.

However, with his strength and personal wealth, he still wasn’t qualified to contest for a pseudo-heaven class cardinal artifact.

“Everyone doesn’t have to be anxious. The next few items are also earth class peak-tier cardinal artifacts. Auction item no.83, earth class peak-tier cardinal treasure, Wind Thunder Wings. This is a flying cardinal artifact and can increase the flying speed of a martial artist. The top speed is almost comparable with mid-level monarchs. The starting price will be 40,000 mid-grade spirit stones.”

If the appearance of the Sun Ring was enough for low-level monarchs to go crazy, then the appearance of the Wind Thunder Wings had made the low-level monarchs lose all control.

The Sun Ring merely had the power to kill mid-level monarchs, but it didn’t mean that having the Sun Ring would allow one to contest with a mid-level monarch.

However, the Wind Thunder Wings were different. With the Wind Thunder Wings, even if one couldn’t win a mid-level monarch, one could swiftly flee. Useless, one was so unlucky to encounter a mid-level monarch that was specialized in speed.

“50,000.”

“60,000.”

“70,000.”

Bids were constantly being offered. The Golden Spear Monarch and the Wind Saber Monarch were also bidding.

Both of them were only at the 4th level of Primary Sea Realm. The things that low-level monarchs required were also similarly useful for them.

“100,000.” A cold voice echoed.

Everyone looked up and realized it was from the private room that bought the Red Lotus Sword and Red Lotus Armor.

The bidder was indeed Li Fuchen.

He didn’t really care about the Sun Ring. He was now at the monarch-class master level and in the hands of a Battle Spirit Realm monarch, the Sun Ring would only have the power of a monarch-class master level, therefore, it was useless for him.

By the time he progressed to the Primary Sea Realm, his strength would probably reach the mid-level of Primary Sea Realm and it meant that he didn’t need the Sun Ring at all.

Therefore, he wasn’t going to spend such a large amount of spirit stones to purchase something he didn’t really need.

But the Wind Thunder Wings were different.

Speed had always been his shortcoming.

In fact, for those absolute prodigies who could exceed levels and realms in combat, speed was all of their shortcomings.

Attack strength could be enhanced by weapons and martial arts.

However, there weren’t a lot of items that could enhance speed.

“Isn’t this too exaggerating. 100,000 mid-grade spirit stones is one billion low-grade spirit stones. It is already equivalent to half the clan wealth of some unrated monarch-class clans.”

“It is truly infuriating to compare with others. I don’t even have 2000 mid-grade spirit stones and that person can casually offer 100,000 mid-grade spirit stones.”

In the ordinary seats, many of the Battle Spirit Realm masters were showing jealous expressions.

“110,000.” A low-level monarch made the bid with a deep voice.

If it was some other items, the price of 100,000 mid-grade spirit stones would have frightened off everyone.

But the Wind Thunder Wings were too important for a low-level monarch.

“These people are insane.”

The Golden Spear Monarch pondered and didn’t make a bid. He only had slightly over 100,000 mid-grade spirit stones on him now. Using them to purchase the Wind Thunder Wings wasn’t worthwhile. Of course, if his cultivation was at the low-level of Primary Sea Realm, he might go all out for it.

The Wind Saber Monarch didn’t make a bid either as the price was too high and it wasn’t worth it.

“130,000.” Li Fuchen continued to raise the bid.

“Damn it, damn it.”

In a private room at the corner, there was a large man with a tiger beard that was behaving violently. He was a 1st level Primary Sea Realm monarch.

To participate in this auction, he had sold off most of the artifacts that he didn’t really use so that he could purchase something that was extremely useful to him.

Without a doubt, the Wind Thunder Wings were of great use to him.

He was only at the 1st level of Primary Sea Realm and among the monarchs, he was definitely a bottom feeder. This Wind Thunder Wings would allow him to escape regular mid-level monarchs. When venturing outside, it also allowed a faster speed of escape.

It could also be said that the Wind Thunder Wings would increase his survivability by several times.

“I don’t care who you are, if you snatch my artifact, you will need to pay the price.” The tiger-bearded man gritted his teeth.

In the end, Li Fuchen used 130,000 mid-grade spirit stones to purchase the Wind Thunder Wings.

Inside the private room, Li Fuchen observed the light blue wings that were emitting electric arcs. ‘With the Wind Thunder Wings, my shortcoming in speed is considered to be complemented.’

The Wind Thunder Wings were obviously a cardinal artifact that was constructed with feathers of a demonic beast’s wings. If Li Fuchen didn’t guess it wrongly, these feathers belong to a mid-tier demonic beast king, otherwise, it wasn’t so easy to reach the speed of a mid-level Primary Sea Realm monarch.

The next few cardinal artifacts were all earth class peak-tier and there was a defense cardinal artifact that even mid-level monarchs were competing for. The final price was higher than the Wind Thunder Wings and had reached a shocking 150,000 mid-grade spirit stones.

“Auction item no.100. 7-star secret technique, Heaven Monarch Battle Qi Dao. This secret technique can allow Battle Spirit Realm masters to have insane qi bursts that exceeds their physical limits. It can allow Primary Sea Realm monarchs to exceed one level in combat. The starting price is 100,000 mid-grade spirit stones.”

The 100th auction item was actually a 7-star secret technique.

To a monarch-class sect, 7-star secret techniques weren’t considered anything and they would have at least one or two qi enhancement secret techniques. But for the rest of the factions in the Emperor Sky Continent, 7-star secret techniques were generally in the hands of first-rate monarch-class factions or emperor-class factions. It was very rare for second-rate monarch-class factions to possess 7-star secret techniques.

Therefore, when this 7-star secret technique appeared, the price was increased frenziedly and quickly reached the sky-high price of 200,000 mid-grade spirit stones.

7-star secret techniques were different from cardinal artifacts.

Cardinal artifacts had limits, while 7-star secret techniques didn’t have any limits for the Primary Sea Realm.

This Heaven Monarch Battle Qi Dao was useful for 1st level Primary Sea Realm monarchs and was also useful for 9th level Primary Sea Realm monarchs.

Therefore, the price was far beyond any earth class peak-tier cardinal artifact.

Ultimately, the Heaven Monarch Battle Qi Dao was bid down by a high-level Primary Sea Realm monarch from the Sima Clan, that was one of the five major second-rate monarch-class clans from the South Sun County. Its final bid price was 280,000 mid-grade spirit stones.
