Chapter 103: The Third Tsuchikage Restores His Youth!

Chapter 103: The Third Tsuchikage Restores His Youth!

Kumoko selected the bloodline card and immediately extracted it from the livestream.

Buzz!!!

A blood-red card fell into Kumoko's hand, and she infused it with chakra, activating the bloodline card.

In the next moment.

Swish!!!

The bloodline card transformed into a crimson light that enveloped Kumoko. Under the influence of a mysterious and mighty power, Kumoko's bloodline shattered its limitations at an incredible speed, advancing to a higher level, increasing by a whole grade.

At this moment, a tangible oppressive force spread out, as if it were distorting the very space around it.

Eight sinister eyes emerged, covering the void.

Even from a distance, Garaga felt a shiver run down his spine just by glancing at them, as though he was being stared at by those eight malevolent eyes and might face death in the next moment.

"Kumoko's power..."

Honghong was visibly shocked; this power boost was too significant.

Due to Kumoko's bloodline directly advancing by a grade, her strength skyrocketed instantly, and she struggled to control the power within her. The Demon King's power, in its tangible form, seemed as though it would destroy everything around her.

But then, Ye Tian walked over, ignoring Kumoko's bloodline and the oppressive aura of the Demon King. He placed a hand on Kumoko's shoulder.

In the next instant, all the oppressive force vanished, completely suppressed back into Kumoko's body by Ye Tian.

After about half a minute, Kumoko finally managed to fully retract her aura.

"Master, my bloodline has surpassed the level of a High Demon King; it seems to be called the Demon God level bloodline. However, I only possess the Demon God level bloodline; I am not a true Demon God!" Kumoko said.

"That's already quite impressive. With your bloodline advancement, your strength has also increased significantly. If you evolve further to the Demon God species, your power at the Six Paths level would be virtually invincible!" Ye Tian remarked.

Upon hearing about being invincible at the Six Paths level, Kumoko grinned with excitement.

The Bloodline Limit list rewards continued to be distributed. For example, the thirteenth on the Bloodline Limit list was still Kaguya Otsutsuki, but her reward wasn't particularly great; she still chose a divine fruit that could enhance chakra. As a result, her chakra capacity could still be increased slightly, thereby boosting her strength a bit.

For Kaguya Otsutsuki, gradually increasing her strength might eventually enable her to break the limits of the Six Paths level.

By that time, no seal could contain her.

Rewards were also distributed to other powerful individuals such as Hagoromo Otsutsuki, Hamura Otsutsuki, Indra Otsutsuki, and Asura Otsutsuki, and finally, it was the turn of Hashirama Senju, who was ranked twenty-first on the Bloodline Limit list.

[Hashirama Senju: Finally, it's my turn. I don't ask for much, just give me a revival card.]

[Madara Uchiha: That's your idea of not asking for much? With your rank, you still want an item like a revival card? Keep dreaming!]

[Hashirama Senju: If dreaming would get me a revival card, then I'm off to dream right now!]

[Madara Uchiha: …]

[Tobirama Senju: I hope big brother gets a good reward.]

[Tsunade: Grandpa will definitely get a great reward!]

Finally, amidst everyone's anticipation, Hashirama Senju's reward items appeared.

Two items appeared in the livestream: the first item was a fruit.

[Soul Fruit: Can enhance soul strength; not very effective for Six Paths level, but has a good effect below Six Paths level.]

The second item was a card—a Q&A card.

Everyone was well aware of the function of the Q&A card.

[Hashirama Senju: Oh, come on, it's another Q&A card!]

[Madara Uchiha: Hashirama, choose the Q&A card; I think you can get it right!]

[Hashirama Senju: Ha, Madara, do you think I don't know your intentions? You want me to pick the Q&A card, then get it wrong and end up with nothing.]

[Madara Uchiha: Think whatever you want!]

[Tobirama Senju: Big brother, don't pick the Q&A card, it's a trap; the chances of getting it right are very, very low.]

[Fourth Raikage: Right, the Q&A card is indeed a pitfall; it's often about future events, which are really hard to predict.]

[Third Hokage: I also suggest that Lord Hashirama pick the Soul Fruit; at least you'll gain something.]

Many people advised Hashirama Senju to choose the Soul Fruit and forgo the Q&A card.

However, Hashirama Senju was stubborn.

[Hashirama Senju: Since everyone is telling me to choose the Soul Fruit, I'll do the opposite. I choose the Q&A card.]

[Madara Uchiha: Well said, Hashirama, you should take a chance!]

[Tobirama Senju: Big brother is going to waste a reward!]

However, after waiting for a while, Hashirama Senju still hadn't used the Q&A card.

[Madara Uchiha: Hashirama, hurry up and use the Q&A card!]

[Hashirama Senju: Use it? No way. I've put it up for auction in the auction house, starting at 500 coins. If anyone wants it, feel free to bid!]

[Tobirama Senju: Damn, you put the Q&A card up for auction? Big brother, when did you get so smart?]

[Hashirama Senju: I've always been smart. I think the starting price for the Soul Fruit would only be around 400 coins, and its final selling price definitely won't match that of the Q&A card, so I'd rather choose the Q&A card!]

[Madara Uchiha: Is that even allowed?]

[Fourth Raikage: Is that even an option?]

[Might Guy: Kaguya Otsutsuki must be crying now. If she had known she could auction off her reward, she could have gotten some coins at least, instead of getting nothing with the Divine Question Card.]

Soon, everyone checked the auction house.

After all, the Bloodline Limit rewards were being distributed slowly. Compared to the rapid refresh of rewards, the auction would only take a short while and wouldn't delay them from watching the distribution of Bloodline Limit rewards.

Hashirama Senju immediately started the auction, with a starting price of 500 coins, which was set by the auction house and couldn't be changed.

Everyone assumed that there would be few bidders for the Q&A card, but the result surprised them; many people participated in the bidding.

Suddenly, Tsunade also joined the bidding.

[Hashirama Senju: Little Tsuna, don't bid! With your luck, you lose every bet; if you choose the Q&A card, you won't get anything!]

[Tsunade: Grandpa, I'm just pretending to bid.]

[Hashirama Senju: That's not necessary; if you end up placing a high bid and no one outbids you, that's it—you'll be stuck with it!]

[Jiraiya: The First Hokage is right. Tsunade, your gambling luck is really bad; don't raise the bid, or you'll end up having to buy the Q&A card yourself.]

[Tsunade: I got it!]

Soon, Tsunade backed out of the bidding.

"Master, should we join in?" Kumoko asked.

"Do you want to try?" Ye Tian asked.

"Yes, yes, I want to try the Q&A card!" Kumoko nodded slightly.

"Then go ahead and bid. Sell some of your unnecessary items to the Golden List in exchange for some coins," Ye Tian suggested.

"I'll sell some of the obsolete, low-level skills I have; they aren't much use to me anyway!" Kumoko said.

Those low-level skills were ones she had developed herself over time and had become too disorganized to be of any use to her.

Though they were low-level skills to her, they were still powerful skills to others.

"Go ahead!"

Ye Tian nodded.

Quickly, Kumoko tapped away, selling off various skills.

At this moment, an invisible force enveloped Kumoko, erasing and taking away all those skills.

Even the memories related to those skills were removed.

"What a terrifying ability, erasing all my memories of learning those skills!" Kumoko exclaimed in surprise.

She realized that those memories were gone; she tried to recall them but couldn't. She only vaguely remembered having those skills once, but now she no longer possessed them.

"It's a supreme rule that erased the memories of you learning those skills, more like erasing segments of past timelines without actually tampering with your soul memories. Of course, if your strength is powerful enough to break the rules of time and space, those memories can still be recovered," Ye Tian explained.

"That's incredibly difficult!" Kumoko noted.

At this point, she checked her account and saw she had over 3,000 coins, more than enough to bid on a Q&A card.

"Hahaha, I'm going to start bidding!!!"

Kumoko began frantically pressing the bid button, sweeping through the competition.

She eliminated one bidder after another and finally won the auction with a bid of 1,380 gold coins.

[Hashirama Senju: It's Kumoko who won the answer card in the auction?]

[Kakashi: Kumoko is Ye Tian's summon, right? Isn't she afraid of failing? That's 1,380 gold coins!]

[Fourth Raikage: She doesn't lack money. Just look at how much good stuff she's gotten before. She just acquired a bloodline card, which could fetch a fortune if auctioned—at least in the tens of thousands of gold coins!]

[Tsunade: Yeah, money's no issue for her! So, she doesn't care about failing!]

[Hashirama Senju: Tsuna, live stream later, and I'll send you 1,380 gold coins as a gift.]

[Tsunade: Thanks, Grandpa!]

Kumoko immediately used the answer card, and a scene appeared in the livestream.

It wasn't a video, just a still image, showing two people.
