The Supreme God of Martial Arts
Chapter 280 The Auction (Part Two)

Anyway, if we can replace a couple of treasures in the auction, it will be aworthwhile trip for us.”

The five men entered inside.

Inside room 63 of the Ganges Auction House, Austin was busy in hismeditation and his eyes were closed. He had been sitting like this for awhile now and the maidservant was angry and resentful at hisnonchalant manner. He had been acting like a monk or a hermit.“Damn! What kind of guest am I stuck with? Is he a eunuch orsomething? Why the hell isn't he reacting to all my seduction efforts?"She thought furiously.

The maidservants in the VIP area were officially paid to serve theguests. But the tips they received far outweighed their salaries if theycould satisfy those guests through sex.

As the ticket to enter the VIP area of the auction house could only beafforded by the very rich, the maids were sure to receive highlygenerous rewards for their efforts.

But this particular maid hadn't expected that she would encounter aguest that day who was completely oblivious to her honey-trap.Ding-dong! Ding-dong!

The bell rang out through the hall of the auction house and

its resounding tinkling sound could be heard across the whole building,which was extremely large in size. The hubbub of the crowd graduallywaned and gave way to a calm and anxious silence. Everyone turnedtheir eyes towards the center of the hall where a crystal platform wassituated. Their gazes were filled with anticipation and enthusiasm.

"Ho ho ho! Hello, everyone! I am sure that you all are getting impatient.So, I will skip the cliched opening lines and start the auction directly.”A grey-haired old man announced as he walked to the center of thestage. There was a crystal desk situated before. His eyes ran down thehall which was packed with a dense crowd, and a wide smile spreadacross his face.

Then he rested his eyes on the VIP area for a few seconds and lookedaway again.

His sounds still reverberated through the hall.

As an experienced auctioneer, he knew clearly what the guests reallywanted to see and hear and was aware of what they didn't like.Therefore, he cut off the crap of greetings and got straight to the point.As it turned out, a huge round of applause burst out on his firstdialogue only. The old man had won the crowd's hearts with hisstraight-forward manner.

Several guests in the VIP area also nodded with smiles on their faces.They were all extremely rich and had several thousand vital energycrystals tucked away.

"Gentlemen! This is an auction by the Ganges Auction House. I assureyou that you will not be disappointed today."

The old man clapped his hands, and announced, "Now I declare, theauction of the Ganges Auction House, open!

As soon as the old man was finished, dazzling lights suddenly burst outfrom the huge crystal platform, as if the dramatic effort was a part ofhis dialogue too.

After a long while, the harsh glare gradually disappeared. A bluecolored sword, long in size and glittering coldly under the harsh stagelighting, slowly rose up from the table that lay before the old man. Theaura that surrounded this sword sent shivers down some people'sspines. It must have been an extraordinary sword.

"This, gentlemen, is a Cold Blade Sword; it's extremely powerful! It ismade out of dark steel buried under the sea for tens of thousands ofyears. Beware, for this is a high-grade spiritual weapon.

It is extremely sharp and would cut clean through iron like knifethrough butter. Did I mention that there is a level three diabolic coreperfectly inlaid within it? Because there is!

If you practice martial arts of water or ice nature, this sword is a perfectweapon to battle against people. Your powers in combat will growmightier with this magic sword.

It's a must-have weapon for every warrior! If anyone of you isinterested, which I am sure you are, don't be stingy with your moneytoday. Money is precious, but you have to be alive to enjoy it. Haha!"The old man held the sword in his hand and gave it a shake. Cold airbegan to rise from the sword and formed wispy mists around it. Heturned towards the crowd and remarked with a smile, "The floor price isthirty thousand vital energy crystals, please start the bidding.""High-grade spiritual weapon with a diabolic core within it, no thanks!"Looking at the sword, Austin muttered. He didn't have much interest init.

He already had a high-grade spiritual weapon; his Violet Royal Sword.The Cold Blade Sword was indeed very rare and very powerful, but itwas in no way, better than the Violet Royal Sword.

If he had bought this item, he would possess two similar swords, whichwould be totally unnecessary and a complete waste of his money.Although Austin had a lot of vital energy crystals with him, he still hadto pay for the materials he was going to use to cultivate the third stageof the Overlord Body-refining Formula. Moreover, Austin had plannedthat once he had enough money, he would also purchase the materialsfor the fourth stage, or even the fifth stage of the that formula. It hadbeen extremely helpful for him.

So, now was not the time to squander his vital energy crystals.Therefore, Austin didn't have the slightest intention to bid for thesword.

He knew better than anyone else that the best item was always shownlast in such situations.

However, Austin's lack of interest did not mean no one was interestedin the sword.

A good weapon to a warrior was like a herbal pot to a pill refiner. Theywere both indispensable and the higher in power and ranking, thebetter.

So, after the old man's words sank in, the bidding amount rose steeplyand several times.

After several rounds, the Cold Blade Sword finally fell in the hands of alanky man with a humongous price of six hundred thousand vitalenergy crystals.

After the first item was successfully auctioned, a dazzling array oftreasures appeared on the table one by one for auction; preciousarmors, martial arts skills, cultivation methods, herbs and many otherparaphernalia.

Most surprising of all, one of the items for auction turned out to be abeautiful lady. Austin's jaws dropped open when the girl was broughtonto the stage.

She looked very young, most probably at the tiny age of twelve orthirteen. But her body shape was insane!

A G-Cup glamour teenage girl! She blushed scarlet at the numerousgazes boring into her.

The appearance of this gorgeous and beautiful girl immediatelybrought out the animal lust that was hidden inside the men presentthere. They became horny and seemed ready to pounce on her at anytime.

In the end, the girl was sold for four hundred thousand vital energycrystals. The insane count of zeroes in the number made the old manconducting the auction grin from ear to ear. Austin calmly looked atthose ugly men through the crystal screen in his room. He was sittingstill with his eyes slightly closed, waiting for the item that would attracthim.
