Chapter 1195: Chapter 1195: I Don’t Want It Anymore

Five hundred medium-grade spirit stones, for these lower-ranked sects, was already a hefty price.

So they could only watch as the bidding for this spiritual technique went on without them.

Just as Zhang Xiong thought victory was within his grasp, an incongruous voice suddenly rang out.

"Six hundred medium-grade spirit stones."

Zhang Xiong’s face twisted with rage at this familiar voice, and he turned to look in the direction of the Fierce Lion Sect.

The bidder was indeed the Fierce Lion.

"Fierce Lion, do you really want to make an enemy of my Hundred Beasts Sect!"

Fierce Lion replied with an unconcerned smile, "This is an auction, not a place where you are the only one allowed to bid."

Zhang Xiong gritted his teeth fiercely; such a spiritual technique was of great importance to him, and even more so for the entire Hundred Beasts Sect.

Therefore, he had to have this spiritual technique no matter what.

"Seven hundred medium-grade spirit stones!"

The crowd gasped.

After Fierce Lion’s smile, he bid leisurely again.

"One superior-grade spirit stone."

One superior-grade spirit stone was worth a thousand medium-grade spirit stones.

Zhang Xiong’s face suddenly grew dark and unsettled; he had not anticipated that Fierce Lion would raise the bid to one superior-grade spirit stone.

This madman, he would have to kill him sooner or later!

"One superior-grade spirit stone plus three hundred medium-grade spirit stones!"

With a vicious glare at the Fierce Lion, Zhang Xiong was ready to bid again.

But who knew that at this moment, the Fierce Lion would mockingly smile.

"I don’t want it anymore."

Zhang Xiong nearly spat blood in frustration, finally realizing that he had been played.

Miao Si burst into scornful laughter, "Zhang Xiong, now you really are as your name suggests, a bear—too stupid."

It was well known that even a spiritual technique with superior spiritual power was valued around one superior-grade spirit stone, and the value of a medium-grade spiritual technique was at most five hundred spirit stones.

But this idiot Zhang Xiong actually thought that Fierce Lion was really competing with him for the spiritual technique, and had foolishly raised the price to thirteen hundred medium-grade spirit stones—what else but a fool would do that?

Bang!

In a fit of rage, Zhang Xiong slammed his hand down on the armrest and angrily stood up, pointing at Fierce Lion and saying, "Fierce Lion, how dare you play me!"

Fierce Lion shrugged indifferently.

"Who told you to be so dull as to be tricked?"

"You!"

Suddenly, a cough echoed through the venue; it was Xi Hu.

"What’s this, Zhang Xiong? Are you planning to start a fight here?"

Zhang Xiong unwillingly sat back down; he wasn’t foolish enough to tangle with someone in the Pseudo Dan Realm.

Now, having spent one superior-grade spirit stone on such a spiritual technique, he didn’t have much money left for the upcoming treasures.

One superior-grade spirit stone was nearly half a year’s expenses for the Hundred Beasts Sect.

Now, he only had two top-grade spirit stones left in his hand.

"Fierce Lion, I will not let this go."

The auction continued, and the next items were two that Ning Fan needed. The Fierce Lion Sect won them directly.

At this time, Zhang Xiong suddenly stood up and addressed Xi Hu, "Elder Xi Hu, I now suspect that Fierce Lion is bidding without the means, he can’t possibly have so many spirit stones."

Hearing this, Xi Hu slowly turned to look at Fierce Lion.

Although the Four Sects Alliance consisted of four sects, their finances were perhaps still separate, and now the items that Fierce Lion had bid on were close to the value of two superior-grade spirit stones. Could one person from Fierce Lion really have so many spirit stones?

This made him slightly suspicious, so he inquired in a tactful tone, "Sect Master Fierce Lion, what do you say?"

Fierce Lion slowly stood up and took out two top-grade spirit stones, brimming with spiritual energy, from his storage ring.

"Elder Xi Hu, may I continue to participate in the auction?"

"Of course."

Xi Hu smiled, but his smile vanished as his eyes fell on Zhang Xiong; his gaze turned icy cold.

"Zhang Xiong, if your Hundred Beasts Sect violates the auction rules again, I wouldn’t mind personally escorting you out."

Zhang Xiong sat back down, his face looking ugly; he hadn’t expected that Fierce Lion actually possessed spirit stones of such value!

Now that the auction was nearly over, it was time for the disciples’ competition.

"The Four Sects Alliance, you’re in for a tough time next."

After that, Zhang Xiong’s gaze inconspicuously fell on Gongsun Zheng.

Gongsun Zheng’s expression darkened slightly; he felt Zhang Xiong’s gaze but didn’t respond.

He glanced at Wei Qiuwan seated next to him and noticed her gaze occasionally wandered towards Ning Fan, this made a sudden rush of jealousy surge within him.

It also further entrenched his determination to kill Ning Fan.

Ning Fan, whose attention had been on the auction, suddenly felt someone’s gaze; he immediately looked over and caught the fleeting direction of Zhang Xiong’s glance, which was aimed at them.

Logically, Zhong Xiong should be confident in the upcoming disciple competition, so he wouldn’t consider disciples from the Four Sects Alliance; except him.

But Zhang Xiong’s look was clearly not at him but rather...

Ning Fan then glanced at Gongsun Zheng, which made him wary.

The auction finally concluded, and next came the most exhilarating part—the competition.

Whoever won the competition would earn a favor from the Chongxu Sect, a colossal benefit for either the Four Sects Alliance or the Hundred Beasts Sect.

It was even possible to compel Chongxu Sect to eliminate the other side!

"Next, the competition between sects will begin. Each sect can only send five people, adopting a best-of-five format. Each participant must be a disciple of their sect, under the age of twenty, and stop at the point of contact."

"The winner may present one request to our Chongxu Sect. Any objections?"
