Soul Emperor Martial God

The 36th round of auction ended while Xiao Yi was lost in thought.

He didn't pay attention to the final ownership or bidding price of the Holy Spirit Pill.

He was solely focused on his future path of cultivation.

Both of his purposes for coming to the Central Region required him to have formidable strength.

The auction continued nonetheless.

The Ten Thousand Gold Mansion's auction was indeed grandiose.

So far, there had been over 40 rounds of auctions.

Every auction item was a top-tier treasure outside.

Especially the finale auction item every 12 rounds, which made all the guests present feverish with excitement.

Unknowingly, the 47th round of auction had passed.

Next would be the 48th round of auction.

This meant another finale auction item was about to appear.

At this moment, the auctioneer on the stage wore a solemn expression and announced loudly, "Distinguished guests, we are grateful for your presence at this auction."

"However, this auction is nearing its end."

The auctioneer's words left all the guests present slightly startled.

This auction, lasting several hours with its items, had repeatedly amazed and captivated the guests.

The guests had long been immersed in the atmosphere of auctioning and bidding.

This sudden near ending naturally left the guests slightly dazed.

Besides the fact that the Ten Thousand Gold Mansion's auction items were indeed all extraordinary, the auctioneer also played no small part in this.

One must say, this auctioneer was indeed impressive.

With just a few words, he could instantly ignite everyone's interest in each auction.

"The 48th auction is another finale auction item," announced the auctioneer loudly.

"But this time, it's the last round of auction."

"In other words, this finale auction item is the final piece of the entire auction."

The guests immediately held their breath, showing expressions of anticipation.

According to auction rules, the final item is the most precious piece of the auction.

"The 48th auction, the item is named..." the auctioneer continued loudly.

However, just then, a figure suddenly appeared in the first-floor guest seats.

It was a man, approximately in his early thirties.

His aura was truly extraordinary.

His attire was majestic and distinguished.

"Sorry, I'm late. Is the auction over?"

The man asked indifferently, but his cold and arrogant eyes didn't look at anyone present.

His bland tone resembled a dismissively arrogant statement.

"It's that young master from the Wang Family," the guests instantly recognized the visitor.

At the same time, the guests showed flattering expressions.

"Unexpectedly, Young Master Wang graced us with his presence."

"But unfortunately, the auction is about to end, with only the last round remaining."

In Star Swapping City, the Three Great Families included the Wang Family, Mo Family, and Lvu Family.

Rumor has it that the Wang Family's influence is the greatest among the Three Great Families, even rivaling the City Lord's Mansion and the Wind Shattering Hall branch.

"Really?" Wang Family's young master said coldly.

"Then we, the Wang Family, will take this last auction item."

His domineering voice echoed throughout the venue.

The guests frowned but dared not speak.

On the auction stage, the auctioneer furrowed his brows slightly, "Young Master Wang's presence at our Ten Thousand Gold Mansion is indeed an honor."

"But this final auction item has not been auctioned yet, which is against the rules."

From the second-floor VIP seats, a defiant voice echoed at the same time, "Wang Xinghe, this auction isn't yours to control."

The speaker was the Young Master Mo who previously competed with Xiao Yi for the Starfire Gloves.

From another VIP seat, a crisp voice also echoed, "Young Master Xinghe, if your Wang Family wants to bid on this last item, feel free to join the auction."

The man, Young Master Wang Xinghe, stood with his hands behind him, his cold and arrogant eyes glancing at the two VIP seats on the second floor.

His eyes seemed to contain stars, deep and intimidating.

His icy gaze seemed to pierce through the VIP seats' barriers.

Young Master Mo and the Lvu Family's lady met his gaze, but instantly looked away with a displeased expression, avoiding his stare.

"Hmph." Wang Xinghe snorted coldly.

As his gaze was about to retract, he abruptly fixed it on Xiao Yi's VIP seat.

Xiao Yi met his gaze without fear and did not retreat at all.

The two pairs of eyes confronted each other, wordlessly.

Seconds later, Wang Xinghe retracted his gaze first, murmuring arrogantly, "When did such a formidable Heavenly Talent appear in Star Swapping City?"

"It's quite interesting."

After muttering to himself, Wang Xinghe shook his head and looked at the auctioneer, "This last auction item, the Wang Family wants it."

"If anyone wants to bid, go ahead."

"Regardless of the bidding price, the Wang Family will pay double."

With that said, Wang Xinghe turned leisurely and left.

The people present glanced at each other in dismay.

In the VIP seat, Xiao Yi withdrew his gaze, his expression solemn.

"This person is very strong," Xiao Yi muttered to himself.

"Very strong?" Lih Fengxing's expression was somewhat peculiar, "Deacon Xiao Yi, this guy is more than just strong."

"Oh?" Xiao Yi looked at Lih Fengxing with slight confusion.

Lih Fengxing gave a wry smile, as usual, flipping through a book, "Deacon Xiao Yi, take a look for yourself."

"Regarding Star Swapping City and its Star Swapping Day, his historical record is the most prolific and the most dazzling."

"Wang Xinghe, the number one Heavenly Talent of the Wang Family, one of Star Swapping City's Three Great Families."

"He's also the city's longest-established Martial Arts Prodigy."

"At 16, he participated in Star Swapping Day for the first time, outshining numerous long-renowned strongmen, claiming first place."

"After that, he consecutively claimed first place in five Star Swapping Days, with no one able to match him."

"In Star Swapping City, he is already a legend."

"A legend?" Xiao Yi repeated, nodding slightly.

Below, the final round of auction had not yet begun.

Because Wang Xinghe had declared that he would bid double whatever price was offered.

No one would think Wang Xinghe was only bluffing.

The name Wang Xinghe itself was proof in Star Swapping City.

His words were a testament.

Naturally, the auction need not continue.

Later, the Ten Thousand Gold Mansion would negotiate the final auction item's price with the Wang Family.

Thus, the auction that lasted several hours concluded.

Xiao Yi and Lih Fengxing had left the VIP seat, ready to depart.

Outside the Ten Thousand Gold Mansion, the golden mansion walls were brilliantly shining.

Xiao Yi and Lih Fengxing slowly walked out.

Unexpectedly, a figure blocked their path.

The figure was Wang Xinghe.

"What do you want?" Xiao Yi asked indifferently.

Xiao Yi was uninterested in who Wang Xinghe was.

He also didn't care about what the final auction item was or who took it.

Wang Xinghe smiled arrogantly, "I've heard that you won the Starfire Gloves. Hand them over."

"Similarly, whatever price you paid, my Wang Family will pay double."
