Bidding Starts

"I guess, this is the end then. Somebody help him or else, he might not make it out alive." Tyler turned around and walked toward Salin as he spoke.

But, as he walked away, the young man took out another sword. He pushed his injuries to the side, swallowed his pain, and pushed all of his spiritual energy into his sword and feet.

When he pushed the ground, his body shot toward Tyler at a speed that almost made Salin and the man with red eyes shout at Tyler.

Unfortunately for him, Tyler's senses were already activated. Not to mention, these kinds of danger senses were enhanced by Carl. He slapped his foot on the ground, jumped into the air, and spun his body.

When his foot landed on that young man's neck, Tyler spoke.

"I said, YOU ARE NOT GOING TO FUCKING MAKE IT OUT ALIVE."

Crack! Bang!

The young man crashed on the ground with his neck snapped. Whether he was dead or not, Tyler didn't care about it. He just landed on the ground and walked away without even looking back.

Whoosh!

A middle-aged man appeared next to the young man and picked him up. He glanced at Tyler's back. His eyes were filled with killing intent but he couldn't make a move right now.

Holy Sanctum would do anything to protect a genius of his caliber. Ming Lin wasn't an ordinary person. He was one of a kind genius. This man was able to master his swordsmanship at the age of eighteen.

But, nothing, not even his Sword Aura was able to break Tyler. He didn't waste his time and started infusing his spiritual energy and slightly moved his bone.

Thankfully, his bone was only dislocated, so he was able to fix it. But, it didn't mean Ming Lin could wake up.

Clap! Clap! Clap!

"Alright, now that the battle has ended. Let's start the auction. Before we start the auction, I want to ask the key holder about his initial price." The man with red eyes turned around and asked.

Tyler was already behind him. Tyler wasn't surprised by this question. He had thought about it before. Since this key has never appeared on earth before, he could make a fortune. But, he also needed to present a good reason for that amount.

He looked at the man with red eyes and asked.

"So, how many Golden Rank members are there in Holy Sanctum?"

The man with red eyes was surprised for a moment. But, he didn't think much and answered.

"20"

"20, huh? So, how many geniuses do all four clans possess? The genius of Thirteen Spiritual Young Leaders caliber." Tyler asked.

Hearing his words, the man with red eyes was surprised. He was a bit confused about Tyler's reasoning but he still replied.

"Normally, the geniuses of the four clans aren't fighters except for Martial Clan. So, if you don't include them, then only five from Martial Clan. But, if you include all of them, then it would be twenty. Clans are low on geniuses but since they have a different kind of strength, they are also crucial for the world."

Hearing his words, Tyler thought for a moment and said "Alright then, considering that the other clans' geniuses can't fight properly, I will make an exception there."

"Five plus twenty plus thirteen plus ten plus nine. Fifty-seven! Yes, this sounds like a nice starting number. Let's go with fifty-seven then."

"......….."

The entire crowd went silent upon hearing his words. This number wasn't just the start price. It was also a disgrace to them. It was also a reminder to them that the top fifty-seven geniuses of this region weren't able to get the key.

While they were gritting their teeth, Tyler spoke.

"Does no one really wants to get the key? If so, I will just keep it to myself. I guess some people don't understand the value of this key even though they groomed those who failed."

His words riled up the entire room even more. The anger was spreading out in the atmosphere. The man with red eyes was also displeased by Tyler's attitude.

But, at this moment, one middle-aged man angrily shouted.

"Hundred Millions"

The man was none other than Mu Lin. Since he was already embarrassed, he didn't think too much and directly raised the price by almost double.

This increase in bids almost stirred everyone in the room.

"Nice! Nice! Someone finally understood me. If you can't embrace your failure, you can grow up. Although it is shameful to get this key, if you can succeed on the Solar System Stage Trial, you will get the rewards that transcendence earth's ranking."

When Mu Lin heard his words, he gritted his teeth.

'Damn it! This brat... He was perfectly riling up everyone so that one of them would make a high increase in price. And, I did. Because I also thought of the same thing.'

'Although those children couldn't make it when they were small, now they could have a chance. The rewards that surpass the earth's ranking. That's what I wanted. A hundred million was nothing compared to that but this brat...'

'Now, everyone understands why I raised the bid so much. Now….'

"One Hundred and Ten Million"

'This is exactly what I feared.' Mu Lin's expression twisted when another person incensed the bid. He turned to the left and the man who increased the bid was wearing a black dress and a strange black mask.

This was the man from the Esobi Family, the family of assassins.

"One hundred and twenty million" The member of the Ditto Family also raised the bid.

"One hundred and fifty million" A middle-aged man raised his voice. When he raised his voice, everyone turned their heads at him.

Tyler also looked at him with surprise. It was clear to distinguish most of the people here. Those with the black dress were from Esobi Family. Those with ancient-style clothing were from the Lin family.

Where Tim was standing belonged to Ditto Family. But, this middle-aged man was separated from everyone else. So, Tyler couldn't identify him.

At this moment, the man with red eyes leaned closer and whispered.

"That's the man from Azure Mountain Region, a member of Legends Guild. He is among the five strongest people in this room."

Hearing his words, Tyler's eyes narrowed.

He never expected a person from another region to come here so fast.

When this man raised the praise, Mu Lin also increased his bid.

"One hundred and sixty million."

"Two hundred million"

When that man spoke once again, the entire room turned silent.
