Chapter 715 - 715 229 Fight to Death Add more for Feng2 Lame

Chapter 715: Chapter 229: Fight to Death [Add more for ‘Feng2 Lame’ Alliance Leader]”. Chapter 715: Chapter 229: Fight to Death [Add more for ‘Feng2 Lame’ Alliance Leader]”. “Yeah, all the money was thrown away, I can’t stop laughing…”

Resuming the process after a round of laughter, the testing was starting.

The Bloodline ring was surrounded by Spirit Crystals.

Leopard Elder reached out and grabbed the little Green Wolf. The small creature was clearly reluctant, but under the oppression of Leopard Elder’s profound cultivation and the strong, it couldn’t resist. However, it constantly roared fiercely, demonstrating its unwillingness.

The people below watched it with eager eyes.

This Demon Beast…not only has abundant spirituality, formidable attacking power, but also wildness and a fighting spirit.

The only thing that’s unsure now is just how talented it is?

The Bloodline ring was finally placed around the Green Wolf’s neck.

The lights on stage were extinguished in due time. This was a necessary part of the auction for Spirit Beasts and Demon Beasts.

Almost at the same time as the lights went out, the Spiritual Power from the Bloodline ring came into contact with the Green Wolf’s bloodline, and it suddenly emitted a magical blue light.

The crowd’s eyes once again widened: the blue glow was so bright that it illuminated the entire auction stage. It was clear that the Green Wolf had a great potential.

This in and of itself made it worth bidding on.

However, just as this thought surfaced, the blue light flickered and quickly transformed into a silver gleam. In an instant, the whole auction stage was bathed in a silver glow, which made the entire auction hall appear as brilliantly as white silver.

“Damn!”

Someone exclaimed in shock.

“This is… King Rank talent!”

Some people’s eyes became fixated, with their pupils almost freezing. They couldn’t tear their gaze away.

A Demon Beast like this was more than just highly sought after. It was still a cub and had a great space for growth, which made it a rare opportunity in a hundred years!

Immediately, someone began to bid: “I bid…”

But before he could finish his sentence, he suddenly fell silent.

That’s because the silver glow on stage transformed again. It had reached its peak and quickly turned golden. With a brilliant golden light, it made the faces of people in the first dozen rows all golden as well.

The wolf cub was in the middle of the golden light circle, baring its teeth and howling to the sky.

“Howl, howl~~~”

Everyone was astonished, including Dong Tiesong and Jiang Changhai who were accustomed to grand spectacles. They were completely astonished and stunned on the spot!

Although they both have slaughtered numerous Emperor Rank Demon Beasts, being a Demon Beast growing into Emperor Rank is an extreme case.

Because the next rank is only of the legendary level.

While one themselves might not need it, if they give such a Green Wolf to their descendants, this wolf cub could accompany its owner’s growth. Even at Emperor Rank, it would still be two-for-one, completely at an advantage, acting as a great helper!

What’s more, the Green Wolf has a natural talent for high speed and it also possesses the ability to control wind.

When the situation is unfavorable, it can take its owner and flee thousands of miles instantly, which is a powerful method for preserving lives.

Strictly speaking, this was akin to having numerous life-saving tools!

Seeing the beautiful golden light, many peoples were left speechless.

However, someone soon exclaimed in shock.

“It’s changing, it’s changing again!”

The golden light on the stage, surprisingly, was not the final outcome either. The golden light slowly faded away, replacing it was a kind of jade color that resembled water.

From the moment the jade color emerged from the bottom, everyone present lost their ability to speak, without exception.

The watery jade color slowly formed a cloud-like glow, enveloping the wolf cub.

That jade-colored mist was approximately half a foot in the size, and outside of this jade circle, the golden light was still as dazzling!

At this moment, only words such as ‘beautiful and incomparable’ and ‘a feast for the eyes’ were appropriate.

Everyone held their breath and watched.

Suddenly, someone began to yell, “Leopard Elder! Leopard Elder! If the previous price holds, I’ll take it. Fifty billion! I’ll bid fifty billion. Even if I have to sell everything I own, even if I have to peel off my own flesh and sell it, I will definitely raise fifty billion. This wolf cub is mine, it’s mine!”

It is the same plump man who had earlier shouted about a 100-fold price increase, who was now crying and shouting, his face full of regret.

However, this brought another round of angry reproaches: “Get out! You’ve already said you didn’t want it!”

“Exactly, you want to buy such a rare cub with a mere fifty billion, have you lost your mind!”

Many people were gloating, laughing aloud, “This great opportunity came knocking at the door and you practically gave it away. Oh, this fat man is making me laugh.”

As they say, people have different perspectives and different resources.

That’s precisely why the people of Five Lakes and Bright Moon felt that they had found a real bargain.

The same Demon Beast, with a potential beyond Emperor Rank, depending on whose hands it falls into and how it is cultivated afterwards.

If it falls into the hands of an ordinary family, it can never grow to the limitation of its potential due to insufficient resources.

An ordinary family could hardly afford the resources required for the advancement of an over-tiered Demon Beast.

If it falls into the hands of an ordinary sect, the outcome would also be similar.

Take for example the two little hawks and falcons that belonged to Five Lakes and Bright Moon. If they were to be cultivated to rank higher than Emperor Rank, it was estimated that the two sects would need to spend more than half of their resources on cultivation. Moreover, they still needed continuous resource replenishment.

But for a creature with the same potential, if it enters the Four Boundaries, the Three Mountains, or even the Heavenly Sword Cloud Palace or the Absolute Sword Devil Palace, it would encounter a completely different fate.

Especially these two palaces, which can not only train these two Demon Beasts to the maximum limit but also break that limit in hopes of reaching higher levels!

This is the difference in the inherent power between factions.

Some might bid fifty million because that’s all they’re capable of offering.

But in the eyes of others, such an item is worth not only fifty million, but even five or ten billion. They might even consider it a bargain!

Because they’re looking at the future, thousands, even tens of thousands of years down the line, not just focusing on the present.

And the Green Wolf before them fit that description straight on!

Once the jade-colored light began to shimmer, the representatives of the smaller clans and sects were instantly disheartened.

Because they knew very well that this was not something they could obtain. If they were to forcefully interfere, even if they could get it, it would only bring disaster.

But the most regretful of all, was still the plump man who had just placed the bid!

He thumped his chest and stomped his foot, filled with extreme remorse.

Because, had he mustered the courage to bite the bullet, and bought it at the risk of bankruptcy, who would’ve known the extreme potential of this Green Wolf? If taken home and carefully nurtured, even if it couldn’t realize its full potential, it could have given protection to his clan for thousands of years, preventing it from decline. Even further progress wouldn’t have been too rare, nor would it be impossible!

But now, this opportunity had been forever lost.

“The starting bid is fifty million silver taels, right, Leopard Elder?” came a steady voice.

Everyone turned toward its source, a man from the West Clan of the Four Boundaries, asking the question.

“Correct. The starting bid is fifty million, and each subsequent bid must be at least one million more.”

“I bid fifty billion! And I will pay in equivalent market-priced spirit crystals!”

The declaration from the West Clan representative startled everyone.

Even Jiang Changhai and Dong Tiesong, who had assessed the value of the young wolf to be somewhere between twenty and thirty billion, were astounded by the West Clan’s indomitable determination.

The claim was plainly for a joke price.

The West Clan clearly intended to obtain the young wolf at all costs, expressing this via an astronomical starting bid, intending to directly kill off all other prospective buyers!

Show off their wealth and power, flaunt their abundance, and demean the rest of the crowd with huge sums of money.

This turning of events left the majority of those present speechless.

Even those who could match the offer felt it wasn’t worth it, and didn’t want to rush into it.

But then, an elderly man in white robes stood up from another row and casually said, “I bid fifty-one billion!”

Everyone looked over, finding that it was within their expectations and quite reasonable.

The one who stood up was none other than a member of the East Clan of the Four Boundaries!

The Dongfang Family and the West Clan had been mortal enemies for tens of thousands of years, at odds whenever they faced each other.

The tradition of the West Clan for their children: no son marries an easterner, no daughter weds an easterner!

The East Clan’s tradition for their daughters: they cannot marry into the West Clan in life, nor be buried in a western tomb in death!

The fierce animosity between the two families was evident.

Now, whoever managed to acquire this Green Wolf would hold an ace to potentially outdo their rival in the future.

Given that, the money spent doesn’t really seem that excessive.

The elder from the West Clan who had placed the bid looked daggers at his rival but the white-robed Elder Dongfang seemed to pay him no mind.

“Fifty-five billion!” The West Clan elder suddenly raised the bid by four billion.

“Fifty-six billion!” A member from the East Clan calmly outbid him by another billion, without the slightest ripple of emotion on his face.

It was as if the amount he had just mentioned was akin to one or two measly silver taels or copper coins.

“Sixty billion!” West Clan.

“Sixty-one billion!” East Clan.

It was clear that the two major families of the Four Boundaries were once again locked in a fierce bidding war, with this young Green Wolf as the contested prize!

The ever-increasing price left even Leopard Elder shocked and fearful.

In reality, without this intense rivalry, despite the young wolf being precious, any deal at around twenty billion would have already greatly exceeded expectations.

Since neither of the two palace individuals would bid, and the Three Mountains were also likely to abstain after considering their budget.

After all, these super sects had far greater resources than any other forces, meaning even a Demon Beast with the Green Wolf’s potential was not worth their all-out bidding war.

But given the circumstances, with the East and West Families, two longstanding enemies, competing, and either of these families a perfect match for the Green Wolf’s potential,

This was problematic.

As the competition heated up with none ready to back down, the bidding price was about to reach the seventy billion mark!

Finally, when a member of the Dongfang Family offered seventy-three billion, a stratospheric figure, the elder from the West Clan, his face dark with frustration, remained silent and sat down.

But from the auction’s point of view, the East Clan overspent lavishly on the Green Wolf, resulting in a loss greater than the gain.

But looking from the level of competition between the East and West families, in the future, who knows how many talents from the West Clan would die in the jaws of this Green Wolf!

The loss and gain, good and bad, are subject to different opinions and have moved beyond the realm of monetary calculations!
