Free Web NovelChapter 453: Chapter 226: One Punch Annihilates a Tier 2! (Part 2)
Mutation doesn’t necessarily mean stronger; it could be stronger or weaker, depending on the direction of the individual mutation, whether it’s mainly benign or malignant. A benignly mutated Winged White Tiger can reach Tier Three Dominator Level, while a malignantly mutated one may never grow up.
This Winged White Tiger is indeed a mutant, but the degree of mutation is not great. At least in its juvenile stage, it doesn’t look particularly obvious, so there’s no need to mention it at the auction.
"Hmm, the change isn’t noticeable, so after the appraisal, it’s still considered an ordinary Winged White Tiger, not meeting the standard line to earn a mutant tag," Tang Ruobing said.
"Do you want to buy it?"
"No, the price is too inflated."
"Hmm."
Ye Mingqiu watched others place their bids. Some even released their aura to display their strength, trying to intimidate their opponents into backing down.
Meanwhile, there were people moving around in the booths, seemingly conducting secret negotiations behind the scenes.
The world of Spiritualists can be simple, where it’s just about combat, but it can also be complex, requiring constant negotiation, compromise, and exchange of interests with others to maximize one’s own benefits.
"Knock knock knock!"
The sound of knocking was crisp and not loud, rather soothing, and wouldn’t irritate anyone.
Tang Ruobing first glanced at Ye Mingqiu, who lay naturally beside her, with a carefree smile, seemingly indifferent to others’ opinions, so she said, "Come in."
"Click!"
The sound of the door opening was crisp as a well-dressed butler entered the room, bowed politely to the two, and placed a Spirit Realm Bank Golden Card on the table, saying with a smile, "Here are 100,000 Spiritual Points, a gift from our Young Master Lu for the two of you. Please accept it."
"Hmm, thanks."
Tang Ruobing nodded slightly and said.
"Esteemed sir and miss, may I take a bit of your time? If it’s not convenient, I can leave immediately," the butler asked politely.
"It’s fine."
Tang Ruobing nodded indifferently.
The other party came directly with 100,000 Spiritual Points, and with such a humble attitude, she had no reason to make things difficult. A little chat wouldn’t hurt.
"Do you know what the last auction item is? Are you interested in bidding?" the butler asked.
"I don’t know, tell me."
"Yes, the last auction item is the [Demon Shadow Stone], a treasure for quenching power. It can orient Spiritual Energy quenching to advance to a strength level of 2.4 in Shadow Magic Power. Do you have a need for it?"
"Do you want the truth or a polite answer?"
Tang Ruobing thought for a moment and asked.
"If possible, the truth."
The butler replied.
"I’m not interested in this trash."
Tang Ruobing answered.
"..."
The butler fell silent for a moment. He looked at Tang Ruobing and suddenly asked curiously, "If I chose the polite answer, what would you say?"
"This treasure isn’t suitable for me."
".... I understand."
The butler bowed deeply again, politely left another 200,000 Spiritual Points Golden Card on the table, and turned to leave.
....
In the adjacent booth
"Huh? She said it’s trash?"
Young Master Lu widened his eyes in disbelief, feeling his brain almost short-circuiting, unsure whether Tang Ruobing’s words were true or false for a moment.
Theoretically speaking, Shadow Magic Power with a strength level of 2.4 is a very strong power. Power levels above 2.0 are extremely rare, let alone Shadow Magic Power with a level as high as 2.4.
Know that having a strength level above 2.5 is akin to having the ability to cultivate Divine Skills without preconditions, offering ultimate potential above that of an ordinary Legendary Level Spiritualist.
Legendary Level+2.5 strength level power is similar to Dominator Level+Divine Traits, but slightly weaker than a Dominator, yet still frighteningly powerful.
"Hmm..."
After a moment of surprise, Young Master Lu quickly regained his calm, lowering his eyes to think, and finally concluded, "I understand. If nothing’s wrong, she has already deciphered the Power of the Ancient God and possesses Spiritual Energy infused with it, so naturally, this is trash to her."
"Hmm, to have absorbed and fused the Power of the Ancient God to such an extent, she is truly mad. She surviving to this day is a miracle."
Young Master Lu continued to ask, "And the guy beside her, did he say anything?"
"No."
"Two monsters."
....
After learning about the last auction item, Ye Mingqiu and Tang Ruobing lost interest in staying for the auction and left the booth one after the other, heading toward the stairs corner. freёwebnovel.com
Suddenly, a faint light flashed from the shadows at the corner, a cold glint aimed at Ye Mingqiu’s neck.
’Got him!’
The middle-aged man thought. He planned to slice through Ye Mingqiu’s neck and then seamlessly kill Tang Ruobing, take their belongings, and escape without leaving any traceable flaw.
"Hmm?"
Suddenly, a terrifying toughness and resistance came from his wrist. He looked closely at Ye Mingqiu, whom he had aimed a dagger at, and his brain nearly crashed when he realized the dagger was stuck, unmoving, as if in a quagmire.
What’s going on?
Wasn’t I cutting through a critical spot on the neck?
Why is his neck so tough?
What’s his body defense power? It must be at least four or five thousand, right? And there’s a damage immunity ability? My slash almost couldn’t break through?
