"A full set of armor? That's wonderful, but it wouldn't match regular martial artists like us. They would look great on the Royal Guardian Sect or the Raging Sword Sect and the Dragon Halberd Sect. They like this kind of armor because they focus on military training. The Raging Sword Sect is especially the sect that focuses on armor for combat."

"Yeah! They said that the Raging Sword Sect emphasizes the ultimate attack. They're also crazy about defensive skills. The name of the sect is right for what they're doing."

The people in the auction room started to speculate about who was going to bid for the set of armor. And it was exactly what they thought. The three influential sects stepped in to bid for the set of the special armor in light of their owning it…

They found it interesting because it came in a full set, which meant that they could use it to protect every part of their body. The armor in the set possessed the same element. They also used the same spell to put the same monster's spirit in them. These were the reasons this set of armor was rare and more efficient…

"To not waste any more time, I'll disclose the starting price of this full set of armor. And it is five hundred thousand monster crystal coins."

"Whoa!"

The starting price of the armor set prompted everyone in the room to exclaim at its high price. Then the noises started to die down because the guests realized that it should be that high because they came in a whole set. To think about it, five hundred thousand monster crystal coins seemed to be quite cheaper than they should have been.

If each piece of armor in the set was sold separately, it could be up to one to two million monster crystal coins…

"I hope you guys would not mind that we, the Raging Sword Sect, start first. I'd like to offer…"

"Five million monster crystal coins!"

The Elder from the Raging Sword Sect did not have a chance to finish the sentence when someone cut in and offered five million monster crystal coins for the set. It made the Elder's face turn purple instantly. Then he turned to look at the source of that voice…

"That's…! That's the same kid who bid against the Bright-Sky Medicine Sect earlier. He did not wait for anyone this time. And he offered a bid ten times the starting price too! Is he out of his mind?"

The person who offered the first bid was actually Zheng-Fu. He was interested in buying the set of armor for Tong-Kuang. He wanted to give it to him when he returned to his clan. Even though the price was high, he thought that it would not be a problem if he could sell the Spiritual Qi energy stones. Zheng-Fu believed that the stones would be much more expensive than these high-level goods…

"Wow, kid! Did you just start the bid with the price that high!?" The middle-aged man in a yellow cloak was startled to hear the price that Zheng-Fu offered. He started to admire Zheng-Fu for being brave enough to make the first bid and with that amount of money too…

"If you want to win the bid, you have to do it quicker and give a higher offer. Aren't those the rules of an auction?" Zheng-Fu shrugged and answered with a calm face…

"It's exactly what you said. You're right! Hahaha." The middle-aged man did not know how else to respond because he thought that Zheng-Fu was right. So, he just laughed to disguise his feelings…

"Darn it! That kid again! Is he trying to pester us!?" The Elder of the Raging Sword Sect developed bulging veins in his face when Zheng-Fu offered the first bid before him…

"Hahaha! Why are you so serious, Elder Pyon-Go? It's just an auction. That kid was a kid. If you want to win an auction, you have to be quicker and richer," said the middle-aged man in the Royal Guardian Sect' room, laughing out of satisfaction. Then he raised his tag and made the next offer…

"Five million and five hundred thousand monster crystal coins!"

"I won't let anyone get the armor! The Raging Sword Sect offers six million monster crystal coins!"

Pyon-Go offered six million monster crystal coins out of fury. His Raging Sword Sect brought fifteen million monster crystal coins for this auction, which was only five million more than the other two sects who made the bid in the previous round.

Fifteen million was like an accumulation of tens of years of salary for the people in the mid-level clans and more than fifty years of salary for the lower-level clans. So there was no need to explain how much fifteen million monster crystal coins were worth to ordinary people…

"Seven million monster crystal coins!"

All of a sudden, the next bid raised the price by a million monster crystal coins. And it was none other than Zheng-Fu who made the bid. His offer almost stopped people from breathing…

Zheng-Fu's move attracted the attention of the people in the room. They started to wonder who he was to offer that much money. They did not understand why he joined them downstairs because the way he bid showed that he belonged to the people on the second floor, who were influential people in the city. Besides, he remained so calm that it even made everyone want to know where he was from…

"Who is the kid!? Who is he!? Go check on him immediately and tell me where he's from!" Pyon-Go shouted crazily after Zheng-Fu made the offer. He ordered his man to check on Zheng-Fu because he wanted to know why Zheng-Fu bid against the influential sects…

The Raging Sword Sect was not the only sect that ordered their men to find out more information about Zheng-Fu. Now the influential sects and clans were eager to find out about him…

*Who is he? How come I've never seen him before? His looks and the way he carries himself make him look like he's from a well-to-do clan. He seems to be more determined, though.* Wang-Lin-Chan also checked out Zheng-Fu. She admired how he looked, but she did not know that she was looking at him in disguise. His real look was much more handsome…

"Would anyone like to make a higher offer? If not, then I'll start to…"

"Eight million monster crystal coins!"

"The Royal Guardian Sect Office is very wealthy. That means that we, the Dragon Halberd Sect, would like to offer nine million monster crystal coins for that set of armor," a middle-aged man in the Dragon Halberd Sect's room said with a calm voice…

The price had been hiked up so high that it could be used to buy a gigantic house or a mid-sized estate. It was a large amount of money…

"These people are really wealthy. The small-level clans could be compared to nothing compared to them. I wouldn't be able to bid against them if it was before. The Qi energy stones that I now have to assure me that I can make things happen. The problem is that it's hard to turn the stones into money." Zheng-Fu mumbled to himself before raising the bidding tag again…

"Ten million monster crystal coins!"

"What!?"

"The kid still bids further. He also raised the price to ten million monster crystal coins. Who is he? Where did he get that money?"

"Wow!"

*That kid is something. He really wants that set of armor. But does he really have that much money? Or the auction house wants to play a price game? If that's the case, then I'll play too.* A female Elder with a big bosom from the Bright-Sky Medicine Sect contemplated Zheng-Fu's action before raising the bidding tag…

"Bright-Sky Medicine Sect wants to offer a bid of ten million five hundred thousand monster crystal coins!"

"What!?"

"The Bright-Sky Medicine Sect wants to bid too?"

"Yeah! I thought they only bid for the ingredients to make medicines. Are they also interested in armor now?"

"Wait! Elder Wan-Nan-Qing! Why?" The middle-aged man next to Wan-Nan-Qing was shocked with widened eyes when he saw her make the bid without telling him first…

"What are you doing? We don't need that armor!"

"Calm down now. Trust me, we won't lose our money," Wan-Nan-Qing said with a smile. Her smile was so charming for a forty-year-old woman like her…

"What do you mean, Elder Wan-Nan-Qing? We don't understand!"

"Eleven million monster crystal coins!"

"Just like I told both of you. I just wanted to try something. Look! That kid just made another bid." Wan-Nan-Qing did not have to say anything further when Zheng-Fu made the next bid. She just let that explain itself. The other two Elders let out cunning smiles when they understood what Wan-Nan-Qing did.

Wan-Nan-Qing noticed that, so she said…

"Both of you don't even think about doing what I did. Because if you do so, the kid might not make another bid. You know what will happen to us if that happens?"

Gulp!

Wan-Nan-Qing's words scared the two Elders tremendously. Sweat appeared on their foreheads because they were about to play with the price, just like she said. They imagined how severe it would be for them if they made a higher bid. They would be punished when they got back to their sect…

"Where did the kid get the money from? Has anyone come back with his information yet?" Pyon-Go was extremely furious because he could not make another bid against Zheng-Fu now. He did not want to be broke…

The Raging Sword Sect was not the only one to give up. The Dragon Halberd Sect and the Royal Guardian Sect also had to fold in this round. They all set the budget for this set of armor at eleven million monster crystal coins. When Zheng-Fu offered the price, they knew that they had to stop…
