Chapter 140 - 140: Chen Long Moves Out
After harvesting so much dark energy, Yang Xi simply upgraded the abilities of Chen Long’s clone to the complete version.
In addition to the two A-class superpowers of the Flame Overlord and Si Yu, he also upgraded two other elemental superpowers.
[Ability: Earth Songster
[Description: Able to sense the pulse of the earth and control the earth element to attack.]
[Skill 1: Heavy Rock]
[Skill 2: Earth Force] [Rating: A]
[Ability: Kagura]
[Description: Control the Wind Elves for your own use.]
[Skill 1: Compressed Storm Pill] [Skill 2: Wind Riding Flight]
[Skill 3: Mausoleum]
[Rating: A]
In addition to the skills attached to these superpowers, these two elemental superpowers also had differences in controlling elements.
Among Chen Long’s four elemental Esper Abilities, in descending order of elemental control, they were Kagura, Flame Overlord, Earth Songster, and Rain Priest.
This was not to say that Siyu was weaker, it was just that he was the last of the four.
But in terms of skills, Si Yu, who had both River Earl’s protection and the Water Iron Spear, was the most comprehensive one.
Chen Long’s avatar had the same memories as Yang Xi, so he didn’t need to assign any tasks. With a tacit nod, Chen Long’s avatar flew into the sky and instantly turned into a small dot.
The security guards patrolling outside the manor seemed to have noticed something. They looked up at the sky but found nothing.
When Yang Xi returned to the private room, the auction had officially begun.
The male host in a tuxedo started the show passionately on stage. The ladies with the best temperament, looks, and figures pushed the first exotic beast weapon onto the stage.
Below the stage, the Qian family had spent a lot of money to invite equipment showcasters to sit in a row. They were all ability users and would use their mental power to activate the alchemy array in the exotic beast weapon during the next auction to show the effects of the exotic beast equipment to the guests.
“Respected guests! The first exotic beast equipment of the auction was about to be revealed!
The emcee went up on stage with a sense of ceremony and removed the red cloth covering the mutated beast weapon, revealing the true appearance of the mutated beast equipment.
” This first exotic beast equipment, Blue Centipede Armor, is made from the seventh part of the body of the B-class exotic beast, Blue Centipede, which has the densest energy reflection. It can withstand a full-powered attack from a B-class mutant, and has immunity to C-class water elemental attacks. The starting price is three million. It’s a very cost-effective exotic beast equipment.”
“Each increment must not be less than 200,000!
“Next, let’s take a look at the effects of this equipment.
Under the instructions of the host, three superpowered people came up from the stage. Two of them were B-class body strengthening superpowered people, and one was a C-class water elemental superpowered person.
One of them was a skinny man who increased his speed. He quickly put on the blue centipede armor. The other one was a big man with a body strengthening ability. It was obvious that he had added strength.
When the skinny man was ready, the burly man punched the armor heavily.
The skinny man immediately flew out and rolled twice on the ground.
However, he brushed off the dust on his body as if nothing had happened and stood up. He walked along the seats of the guests to show that the spot where the exotic beast weapon had been hit was not damaged at all.
Everyone present was smart enough to know that there was definitely an act involved. A punch from a B-class superpowered person should be able to leave a mark on this B-class beast’s equipment.
But no matter what, this physical defense was still impressive. It could also save lives at a critical moment. Three million was not considered expensive.
After the physical defense test, the C-class water-type ability user came up and attacked the armored participant. After using all his strength, he could not damage the armor at all.
It also proved that the C-grade water element immunity of the Blue Centipede Armor was genuine.
“The equipment display is over. Ladies and gentlemen, please place your bids!
As soon as the host’s voice fell, the one-horned ability user in the crowd raised his hand and shouted,”3.6 million!”
Their organization didn’t have a lot of funds. They were only here today because they were eyeing these ” appetizers.” As for the A-rank and S-rank exotic beast equipment, they just needed to take a look.
The one-horned man thought that since he had already raised the bid by 600,000, no one would come to fight with him for the exotic beast equipment. However, an old man with a white beard raised the bid to 4 million.
She even looked at him provocatively.
The one-horned man’s heart sank. He had a grudge with this old man before, so his goal was obvious.
However, he really needed this Blue Centipede Armor, so he could only bite the bullet and add another 200,000.
The old man sneered and continued to raise the price.
In the end, the starting price of 3 million azure coins was bought by 6 million.
The white-bearded old man smiled smugly when he saw the defeated expression on the face of the One-horned Ability User Organization.
This was the first time Yang Xi had seen an auction. He was also very curious. Fortunately, he had the support of his disguising ability, so he did not give himself away.
Elder Qian blew lightly on the boiling hot tea and said leisurely, “If this Blue
Centipede Armor is worth more than 5 million, it will be a loss.”
Yang Xi said pretentiously,”ln my opinion, there is no such thing as a loss when you buy something you like.
Elder Qian did not mind and said with a smile,”Your Excellency Young Chicken is right.
Following that, exotic beast equipment of different shapes and functions were carried up one after another. The atmosphere at the scene gradually became more and more enthusiastic. The turnover quickly broke 100 million, and then 200 million.
Looking at the big shots below waving their cards and talking about millions of Azure dollars, Yang Xi could not help but sigh. This world really belonged to ability users.
If it were an ordinary person, they would probably never earn enough money to buy a piece of exotic beast equipment in their entire lives.
As Yang Xi observed, he gradually discovered a phenomenon. The production of these exotic beast weapons was often made by collecting a certain part of an exotic beast’s body.
This made him suspicious.
For example, if a mutated beast was too big, how much dark energy could a part of its body contain?
However, Yang Xi could basically obtain a dark energy cube that was about one-third of an S-class Esper Ability Bead from the S-class exotic beast weapons that he had taken away.
How did these equipment producers achieve this?
Could it be that they had also mastered the technology to transfer energy?
This was obviously impossible. If such technology really existed in the equipment maker circle, then there wouldn’t be low-level exotic beast weapons at the Basic Level.
The difference in price between a piece of exotic beast equipment that was one level higher and a piece of exotic beast equipment that was one level lower was extremely huge.
It far exceeded the increase in energy.
Therefore, Yang Xi was certain that the equipment maker did not have the technology to transfer energy. What was the answer to this?
Thinking of the host’s introduction just now, Yang Xi had a guess in his heart. However, if he really wanted to figure it out, he would have to ask Old Master Qian, the manufacturing grandmaster..
