Mrs. and Mr. Smith

Chapter 441: 441: Divine Dragon Power_1

In his heart, a plan began to form.

Ahead, the auctioneer continued to vigorously promote the artificial mountain.

Ethan’s eyes remained fixed on the mountain.

“What, are you interested in this artificial mountain too?” Mike Taylor asked.

Ethan glanced at Mike and said, “This is no ordinary artificial mountain.”

“Oh?” Mike raised his eyebrows, gesturing for Ethan to continue.

Ethan narrowed his eyes and said, “If I’m not mistaken, this might be a magical artifact.”

And a remarkable one at that.

In other words, what the auctioneer said earlier was not false.

“Starting bid, one billion!” the auctioneer shouted.

Such a staggering price deterred many people.

However, this was, after all, Sea City, where the wealthy were countless.

For the rich, a billion to exchange for good fortune was worth it.

The price soared, and within a blink of an eye, it had gone from one billion to ten billion.

Countless people began to back off, as ten billion was no small sum for anyone.

“Eleven billion,” Ethan raised his hand and called out.

The crowd immediately turned their attention to Ethan.

They seemed to find his youthful face quite unfamiliar.

“Twenty billion,” a potbellied, wealthy man raised his hand at that moment.

The crowd couldn’t help but gasp for a breath.

Twenty billion, just like that?

Ethan’s eyebrows furrowed ever so slightly.

He couldn’t come up with twenty billion.

But this artificial mountain… was a magical artifact, and not an ordinary one at that!

Aside from one’s own realm, external weapons were equally important for a martial artist’s strength enhancement.

And a qualified magical artifact could even boost one’s strength to a higher level!

“Do you really want this artificial mountain?” Mike asked.

Ethan explained, “If I’m not mistaken, this is likely a High-grade Earth Rank magical artifact.”

High-grade Earth Rank magical artifact!

Just one step away from the Divine Rank!

It had been a long time since a Divine Rank artifact had appeared, and a High-grade Earth Rank magical artifact would be enough to cause a sensation throughout the country!

“What, not bidding anymore?” the potbellied man in the front row spoke indifferently.

Ethan remained silent, as if weighing the pros and cons in his heart.

“If you want it, just go ahead and bid,” Mike said.

Ethan, however, shook his head and said, “I can’t be too enthusiastic.”

After all, there were more than just Ethan Smith, the martial artist, on this yacht.

If it attracted the attention of Atticus Kane or Dudley Lynch, it would outweigh the gains.

“Competing with me, do you have the strength? An obscure nobody,” the potbellied man snorted.

“He seems to be that martial artist named Ethan Smith,” someone recognized Ethan.

“Oh, a mere martial artist. This kind of role is only suitable for being my bodyguard,” the potbellied man said disdainfully.

“Kid, how did you get in?” the potbellied man stood up and stared at Ethan.

Ethan ignored him and said, “My luck hasn’t been good recently, so I thought I’d try to change it with this. Since you’re interested, I’ll give up.”

The potbellied man snorted coldly, “You know your place!”

Ethan said no more but tugged Mike Taylor and said, “Let’s go.”

After leaving the auction, Mike asked in a low voice, “What do you plan to do?”

Ethan pondered for a moment before saying coldly, “If possible… Kill and take the prize.”

Brightheart Island was far from Sea City.

Killing someone there would not be noticed at all.

Of course, this was a last resort. If there was another way, Ethan would not choose to eliminate the potbellied man.

In a certain private room on the yacht.

It was pitch black.

A young man sat cross-legged on the bed, his eyes shining with a bizarre glow, making him appear extremely terrifying at first glance.

This young man was none other than Dudley Lynch, the number one of Central China’s younger generation!

“Dragon Spirit… I must not miss it,” a strange voice emerged from Dudley’s body.

The voice had a slightly hoarse tone, as if it came from the depths of the Nine Netherworld Hell.

Dudley’s mouth slightly opened, and he said coldly, “Once I get the Dragon Spirit, I will be able to step into the half-step Martial Marquis?”

“Indeed… it may even let you step into the true Military Marquis Realm!” That hoarse voice resounded once more!

A touch of madness flashed in Dudley’s eyes!

The true Military Marquis Realm!

Reaching such a level, any aristocratic family would be belittled and dismissed!

At that time, who in the world would be feared?

“That Ethan Smith fellow… he won’t cause trouble, will he?” the hoarse voice asked coldly.

Dudley sneered, “Even if he hadn’t been crippled, I could still kill him.”

“Moreover… he has also swallowed two elixirs,” Dudley’s tone shifted.

Upon hearing this, the hoarse voice laughed coldly, “Two elixirs… should be enough to lure out the Dragon Spirit.”

“Just wait and see,” Dudley said, narrowing his eyes.

“Once I get the Dragon Spirit, I want everyone on this ship to bow down to me!”

The oil tanker cruised slowly on the sea.

Three days later, they finally arrived at Brightheart Island.

The island was vast and featured natural scenery.

Although there were no overwhelming entertainment facilities, it had an incredibly soothing atmosphere.

“What is this relaxing feeling?” Ethan couldn’t help but frown.

Ethan carefully sensed it, but it wasn’tqi, it was a… divinely sacred breath.

Ethan tried to absorb this breath but found that it contradicted his body and couldn’t be absorbed at all.

“Strange,” Evelyn Norton beside him nodded slightly as well.

Ethan glanced at her and said, “You felt it too?”

Evelyn nodded, “Yes.”

“Mr. Smith, Miss Norton, what’s the matter?” Dudley approached them at that moment.

Ethan shook his head, saying, “Nothing.”

Dudley laughed and said, “There has always been a legend surrounding Brightheart Island; I don’t know if you two have heard of it.”

Ethan looked at Dudley, waiting for him to continue.

Dudley said lightly, “It is said that there was once a true Divine Dragon on Brightheart Island. Unfortunately, it perished, and its body transformed into a small island, which is now Brightheart Island.”

“Legend has it that as long as one comprehends the dao on Brightheart Island, they can become invincible.”

“More importantly, the Dragon Spirit of the Divine Dragon remains here, and those who obtain the Dragon Spirit will possess the power of the Divine Dragon.”
