Chapter 438: Divine Essence! Dual-Class System Elixir
Elder Dawn leaned on his crystal cane, carefully scanning the contestants around him.
His serious and solemn voice echoed through the room.
"Alright! We now enter the final phase of the auction!"
"Before I announce the items, let me first thank you all for your participation!"
"Half of the proceeds from this auction will be used to maintain the fortresses at the Four Forbidden Zones!"
"And then..."
"I guarantee, these three finale items will shock everyone present!"
"Once these three items are auctioned off, the world outside will be in an uproar!"
As his words fell, anticipation grew among the assembled elite contestants.
"Hurry up, old man, tell us what these finale items are!"
"Yeah, stop teasing us!"
"Get the goods out, I've been saving my Saint Crystals just for these!"
After bidding on countless rare items earlier,
The curiosity of everyone in the room had reached its peak.
So far, the highest-priced item was still the S+ universal skill book 'Great Destruction' won by Ling Zhan.
It had fetched an incredible 300 million Saint Crystals.
Could the three finale items be SS-tier skill books?
That was impossible!
The Global Job-Changers Association would never auction off an SS-tier skill book!
Such skills, on par with those governing order, would only be granted as rewards, never sold.
Thus, everyone present became increasingly intrigued.
Even Ling Zhan found his curiosity piqued.
"Enough suspense, let's bring out the first item!"
With a grand gesture, Elder Dawn commanded.
A middle-aged man in a mage's robe floated onto the stage, holding a small box.
Gasp!
Before the box was even opened,
The sight of this middle-aged man caused an uproar among the contestants!
"Is that...?"
"A fourth-tier Archmage personally bringing up the item!?"
Even Li Chaoge, sitting beside Ling Zhan, couldn't help but exclaim in shock.
That's right...
The man holding the box was a level-100 fourth-tier Archmage!
What could possibly be so valuable that a fourth-tier Archmage had to personally bring it onstage!?
Were they afraid that someone might try to steal it?
In fact...
This wasn't an unfounded concern.
Fifty years ago, during a previous auction, something similar had happened.
The auction had failed to anticipate that there were moles from the Demon Arrival Organization among the contestants.
Back then, the item being auctioned was an S+ skill book.
It was a special skill for space mages, a divine-tier skill.
But the Demon Arrival mole seized the moment, stormed the stage, and grabbed the S+ skill book.
At the cost of his own life, he tore his body apart, opening an evil, fleshy gate.
The S+ space mage skill was sent through the gate.
Though the level-100 fourth-tier guards reacted quickly and tried to disrupt the portal,
They were too late.
The S+ skill book likely ended up in the hands of the Demon Arrival Organization.
The price was the life of a level-69 elite,
But they had stolen an S+ space skill.
To the Demon Arrival Organization, this was a massive victory!
A win beyond comparison.
For the Global Job-Changers Association, though, it was a humiliating slap in the face.
It was as if the Demon Arrival Organization had stood before them and brazenly struck them.
And the association couldn't retaliate.
Since that incident,
Strict security checks had been enforced at every auction entry.
Now...
For the final item, they needed a level-100 fourth-tier Archmage to personally bring it up!
How could anyone not be astonished?
"Respected Archmage, you may open it now."
Elder Dawn respectfully requested.
The middle-aged man nodded expressionlessly and opened the box.
And the moment the box was opened!
Buzz!
An incomprehensibly profound energy ripple surged out!
At the same time, every contestant, including Ling Zhan, couldn't help but change their expression!
Because...
Accompanying this wave of energy was a divine presence so overwhelming that it left no room for resistance!
None of the contestants had ever encountered true divine might before!
Yet, the moment they felt this presence, they instinctively recognized it as divine!
"What is this...?"
Everyone was in shock, staring at the box on the auction stage!
Inside, three shining, transparent drops of liquid lay silently.
The overwhelming divine aura was emanating from these three drops!
"What are those...?"
"My god! While the divine aura isn't oppressive, I can't help but shiver inside!"
"Holy crap! Could these be artifacts from the gods?"
"Wait, are gods even real?"
"..."
Every contestant was shaken by the divine aura.
It was their first time experiencing such a vast and supreme presence!
"Divine Essence!"
"This is the name of the three drops of liquid before you!"
At this moment,
The normally expressionless fourth-tier Archmage finally spoke.
Then, he turned to Elder Dawn.
Elder Dawn nodded slightly, raising his hand to summon a holographic projection before everyone!
On the screen was the detailed description of the Divine Essence!
[Item: Divine Essence]
[Grade: SS-tier]
[Category: Eternal Elixir]
[Usage Limit: Only for job-changers level 70 and below.]
[Effect: Upon consumption, you will be granted a second class.]
......
Silence.
"Holy...!"
"Holy holy...!"
What!?
A second class!?
Everyone's breathing stopped.
They were all stunned, staring at the details of the Divine Essence on the screen!
Even Ling Zhan's gaze grew serious.
This...
An elixir that grants a dual-class system to job-changers!!
Had it finally been created?
This was truly unbelievable!
To think that this had been a global research project for years.
Despite years of effort, only vague rumors had surfaced from a few evil organizations.
Everyone knew that those organizations hadn't succeeded in creating an elixir that grants a second class.
And even if they had, their products were incomplete and full of flaws.
But now...
This Divine Essence wasn't a flawed creation!
It was a genuine, fully realized SS-tier dual-class elixir!
