THE LEGEND OF GENIUS THROUGHOUT THE REALM
End of Auction

Sorry, I rarely update, because I work during the day too.

.

"38 million gold coins!..." Tian Lei again bid because he did not intend to release the gem, after all tens of millions of gold coins meant nothing to him who had 100 billion gold coins.

"39 million gold coins!..." Just like Tian Lei, Yun Fei Sha did not seem to intend to release the jewel that could increase his strength, even though he was actually unwilling to spend more money than this before the last item was taken out.

Tian Lei sighed in resignation, he raised his hand and scratched his non-itchy head. "Huh, all right, I gave up. It seems that you too will fight to the end..." Said Tian Lei lazily.

While Tian Lei who had given up looked unconcerned with the Ice Elemental Core Gem, Yun Fei Sha again put on a red look of his angry face.

This time he was really very angry because he felt he had been played by a junior. In fact, Tian Lei actually also wanted the ice element core gem very much, but for some reason he decided to stop competing.

Amidst this anger of his, Yun Fei Sha could only sigh to dissipate his anger because there was Zhao Yan next to him, as well as to maintain his reputation.

Amidst the silence, elder Xing Jiu immediately caught his breath. "alright. Is no one willing to bid at a higher price?..." Ask elder Xing Jiu.

As no one responded and the silence still continued, elder Xing Jiu immediately ended this second auction.

"Since there is no higher bid, then this ice element core gem will fall into the hands of the city lord Yun Fei Sha for 39 million gold coins!..." Said elder Xing Jiu.

After the second auction ended, Yun Fei Sha's chest felt a little claustrophobic from having to spend quite a lot of money, while Tian Lei could only smile bitterly. His feelings were mixed between being disappointed at not being able to obtain the ice element core gems, but there was also a bit of fun after letting Yun Fei Sha buy those gems at such a great price.

Tian Lei could have spent more money to obtain the gem, but if he were to charge an even higher price, he might be laughed at by someone else.

Given, the highest price ever of such an ice element core gem was 35 million gold coins.

And now, the laughingstock of everyone was Yun Fei Sha, but no one dared to reveal their laughter, considering how high the status of Yun Fei Sha was.

Elder Xing Jiu again clapped his hands to call in the waiter to bring the next auction item.

The auction continued, but starting from the third item and the subsequent auction items, none of them caught Tian Lei's attention.

Everything was just ordinary items, even though there were quite good ones, but he was still not interested in bidding.

And finally, the auction had actually reached its peak.

"Alright, everybody. Now we have reached the final part of this auction. At the end of this auction, we will present an artifact that will probably get you all excited..." Said elder Xing Jiu and started to clap his hands to summon the servant who was carrying the artifact he was referring to.

A man with the cultivation of a one-star Sovereign immediately walked through the door carrying a long wooden chest in both hands

The man walked up to the auction stage and placed the wooden crate on the auction table.

After the man who brought the chest back, with a smile on his face, elder Xing Jiu immediately approached the auction table and began to open the wooden crate.

After the wooden coffin opened, everyone could see a black sword with a black sword sheath that did not show any spiritual aura.

This sword has a slim and thin shape, with a size that is quite long. As seen, there was no trace of spiritual energy from the sword, which could make all who saw it judge the sword as an ordinary sword.

But, between the silence inside the hall as many were confused by the artifact, some people looked surprised by the sword that was in the wooden coffin. Among them were the four city lords as well as Tian Lei.

They seemed to be unable to say anything so surprised by the appearance of the artifact shown by elder Xing Jiu.

"Ba, how is it possible?..." Zhao Yan who was still widening muttered softly.

Meanwhile, Tian Lei who was also shocked had now smiled in satisfaction after seeing this item that caught his attention.

Ning'er looked towards Tian Lei in confusion. "Sister Tian Lei, you seem to be very interested in that sword?..."

Tian Lei nodded with a serious face. "Yes, of course I'm interested..." Her speech.

Tian Lei then turned his head towards Ning'er. "Ning'er, think about it. Why do most sword-like artifacts not have a sheath? Of course people will answer because there is a storage ring to store it! But that's not the real answer..." Said Tian Lei who stopped talking for a moment and looked back towards the sword on the auction stage.

"The real reason is that not many sword sheaths can withstand the power of the sword itself. Since this artifact had its sword sheath, then automatically the sword sheath was an artifact as well. This sword was not devoid of spiritual energy, but it was the sheath that hid its energy traces and made this sword look like an ordinary sword..." Tian Lei.

"Then, is that the special thing about this sword?..." Ask Ning'er again.

Tian Lei smiled. "It is true that it is his privilege. But, its true specialty was that this sword did not possess any attributes. You can make a contract with the owner. In other words, the sword could create the same attributes as its owner. If you make a contract with that sword, it will have an ice attribute. Then, in addition to the physical support of the Sacred Ice Goddess and the Holy Ice Spirit who have fused with you, then the power of the sword will be extraordinary. It would probably be equivalent to a god artifact. Therefore, this artifact must be obtained regardless of any losses that must be received..." Said Tian Lei and Ning'er nodding in understanding.

"All right, everyone, we'll start our final auction. This sword is a nameless sword. It does not yet have any attributes and must execute a contract to obtain its attributes. The scabbard itself is also an artifact that has the ability of a shield. Both of them are top grade Holy level artifacts created by our Star Trading Building leader. If in a special situation, we want to exchange it for an equivalent item, but this time we need a large amount of money to increase our strength. Therefore, this last auction item we will appreciate at the starting price of a hundred million gold coins!!!..." Elder Xing Jiu said and made everyone speechless as most were unable to bid at such a price.

"One hundred and ten million gold coins!..." Li Feng became the first to bid in this final auction.

"One hundred and fifty million gold coins!..." Hu Bai bid in a loud voice.

"God..." Yun Fei Sha smiled and snorted arrogantly.

"Only with as much as you have shouted arrogantly?..." He said confidently.

"Two hundred million gold coins!..." Yun Fei Sha who had insulted Hu Bai.

Hu Bai gnashed his teeth at Yun Fei Sha's counterattack on him. "Two hundred and ten million gold coins!!..." Hu Bai again bid.

"Two hundred and thirty million gold coins!..." Leisurely, Yun Fei Sha had counterattacked, while Li Feng decided to retreat because he already saw no hope for him.

"Two hundred and fifty million gold coins!..." Hu Bai shouted out loud again.

"Three hundred million gold coins!..." Zhao Yan began to enter a price war between Yun Fei Sha and Hu Bai.

Looking at Zhao Yan who was bidding, Yun Fei Sha and Hu Bai were only able to swallow his saliva.

Zhao Yan was indeed not someone as bad as Yun Fei Sha, but both of them still decided to retreat because the winner had finally been decided.

Given, the North Star city was the richest city under the rule of the Northern Lightning Palace.

At the moment when everyone had believed in the victory Zhao Yan was about to win, Tian Lei who had only seen the situation from the start seemed to start breathing in.

"Four hundred million gold coins!..." Said Tian Lei while raising his number board.

Everyone was immediately startled to hear of a higher bid from Zhao Yan, which meant that this person was going against Zhao Yan!

"Senior Zhao, forgive me, but I seem to have to have the sword as well..." Said Tian Lei respectfully because of how inner outer honor Zhao Yan was.

"Buck! If you've made me lose so much, I can forget about it now. But, now you're fighting Zhao's brother?!..." Yun Fei Sha immediately acted to get the value in front of Zhao Yan.

"Enough!..." Zhao Yan said softly, but there was a trace of decisiveness from his tone. This also made Yun Fei Sha bow.

Zhao Yan looked towards Tian Lei and smiled amiably. "Son, everyone can compete as long as they have enough money to pay. That's the rule and purpose of an auction..." Her speech.

"Four hundred and fifty million gold coins!..." Zhao Yan again bid with his eyes closed.

"Five hundred million gold coins!..." Tian Lei really won't stop for this one time.

For an ice element core gem it can stop because there are other ways to get it or even replace it, but this time artifacts that can equalize attributes like those on the auction stage there are only a few in this world. Therefore, even if he had to lose a lot, he had to obtain an artifact that perfectly matched the Ning'er.

Hearing Tian Lei's enormous offer, Zhao Yan opened his eyes and smiled, he then sighed. "All right, I can't go on anymore. Therefore, you're the one who won this, son..." Zhao Yan said, although in truth he can still expend over five hundred million.

Tian Lei smiled in satisfaction and saluted Zhao Yan. "Thank you senior..." He said and Zhao Yan nodded.

"Alright, it seems the competition has ended. Therefore, this nameless sword will belong to the youth with the number 99..." Said elder Xing Jiu and officially closed the auction.

After the auction ended, Tian Lei went to a room downstairs to pay for the artifact he had won earlier and he handed the artifact to Ning'er.

After the affairs at the Star Trading House branch had been completed, Tian Lei and Ning'er decided to head home immediately.
