Rival in Badassery?

A few minutes later when the sky got slightly darker, a loud explosive sound reverberated the Crystal Ocean indicating the beginning of the event.

Dozens of men wearing golden armors appeared beside the girl. All of them had imposing auras, and although their cultivation bases weren't powerful, they were at least at the peak Body Strengthening Stage level 10. Only the leading guard who had a bigger armor was a Core Formation warrior.

"Ladies and gentlemen, the Nether Auction is going to begin soon. If you want to enter Phoenix Island and partake in the event, you'll have to obey the rules set down by our Lord Julius and pay 50,000 gold coins as the entry fee"

The girl spoke with a crystal clear voice, making sure that every single warrior here could hear what she said.

"What, fifty thousand per person? This is ridiculous! I remember it only cost 10,000 coins last time, why did the price go up by five times?"
