Chapter 639 - A Teenage Guru???
Chapter 639 A Teenage Guru???
“Who is it?”
“Seems that someone just said something.”
“What’s happening?”
“Were you the one who just spoke?”
Everyone on the scene looked wildly around, trying to find out who was speaking. Yet, the voice came too suddenly and too strangely. As if it had fallen from the sky, no one could trace it at all.
Just when everyone was stunned and looked around—
“It’s him!”
On the auction stage, the middle-aged manager suddenly altered his countenance and cried out loud, “It’s him. He is the seller who entrusted us to auction the Guru Sword. He just agreed!”
At his words, everyone on the scene was amazed.
“The seller who consigned the Guru Sword for auction?”
“Where is he?”
They had been searching for him for quite a while but failed to find the source of the voice. But since the voice was heard here, the seller of the Guru Sword must be inside the auction hall. As all the doors to the hall were closed shut, no one could send their voice into the auction hall from outside.
Even a guru couldn’t do that.
When there was no clue on the source of the voice, everyone in the hall furrowed their eyebrows involuntarily.
Even the old man in the Guru Realm, who had been hiding in the crowd, frowned like everyone else.
Even though he was a guru himself, he couldn’t locate the source of the voice at all.
After all, that voice came out too suddenly.
In the front row—
“Miss Qian.”
A middle-aged man walked to the side of Diwu Qian and whispered, “That person is very powerful. Look out.”
Diwu Qian scowled.
She had been looking for the source of the voice, but she was still clueless.
She wasn’t alone.
Beside them, the Qian family, the Xi family, and the Zhan family were all looking around for the source of that voice.
For big families like them, money and power were no longer their priorities.
The most important thing to them was strength and sustainable development!
Therefore, the moment the voice suddenly came out, the first thought that the Four Great Families came up with was to find this person as soon as possible and befriend him.
After all, a person who was generous enough to sell a Guru Sword could definitely bring great benefits to their family!
Not far away from the stage—
The members of the Gong family stood alone at a corner, squinting at everyone in the hall. They were also trying to find the seller of the Guru Sword.
Everyone was very sure that the seller of the Guru Sword was right here, yet it was difficult to locate him.
This thing itself made all the people feel alarmed!
In such a large space, although the man only uttered one word, it was loud enough to let everyone hear it. Under normal circumstances, even if that voice was lowered by half, they could still clearly find the source of the voice, because almost everyone in the auction hall had reached the Martial Superior Level. Some of them had even reached the seventh, eighth, or ninth class.
It was the most basic ability for experts at or above the Martial Superior Level to be able to locate the source of a sound.
However, the voice that they heard a moment ago was not a regular voice.
The speaker was able to hide his location from all those eighth-class and ninth-class experts and let his voice fall from the sky. This alone was enough to astound everyone!
“He agreed?”
On the auction stage, when the young man heard that the seller the Guru Sword’s positive answer, he was stunned at first. Then, with surprise and excitement, he immediately asked, “He really agreed?”
“Yes.”
The middle-aged manager nodded and said, “Hand me the thing you prepared for the exchange. As for the sword you want, this seller of the Guru Sword will certainly deliver it to you.”
“Okay, I trust Chic Cloud Pavilion.”
Without hesitation, the young man immediately took out a tied roll of parchment from his trouser pocket and handed it to the middle-aged manager.
In the crowd.
Seeing that the young man really took out the parchment, Fang Qiu immediately smiled. Without a word, he grabbed the sword in He Gaoming’s hand.
“Huh?”
He Gaoming was stunned and quickly turned his head.
Before he could even react, he saw the sword that belonged to him suddenly shoot to the air and land precisely on the auction stage with a swoosh.
The moment the sword landed, it pierced into the floor. The sword Qi issued from the blade pierced into the floor like it was made of tofu, leaving a long and neat crack on the ground.
“Screech…”
The sword’s cry echoed in the auction hall.
At this moment, everyone was dumbstruck.
Just now, they had busied themselves searching for the seller of the Guru Sword. But as none of them succeeded, they gave up the idea of continuing the search. Then, they all stared at the auction stage to see how the deal would go on. They bet that the seller who had auctioned the Guru Sword would show up to complete the deal.
Even if he didn’t go on the stage in person, he would definitely make an appointment with the young man on the auction stage to trade the parchment with the sword. Everyone was waiting for that moment.
Either way, they would get to take a good look at this crazy person who auctioned the Guru Sword!
But to their amazement, with eyes fixed on the stage, no one paid attention to what was happening around them at all. It was not until the long sword fell from the sky and pierced straight into the floor of the auction stage that these people caught on what was happening!
They quickly turned around to look for the seller.
In the end, it was still a fruitless search!
There was no trace of the seller.
Once again, there was no trace!
Everyone present, including the Four Great Families, the Gong family, and the old guru, was even more astounded!
“Damn it, who the hell is this seller?”
“What a terrifying move! I can’t react to it at all.”
“This kind of strength is too horrible. If I fight him, I don’t even know how I would get killed.”
“Exactly. He can kill people from thousands of miles away!”
“Could it be that the person who auctioned the Guru Sword is a guru himself?”
“Judging from the voice we heard just now, he doesn’t sound like a middle-aged man or an old man. He should be fairly young.”
“He can’t be a teenage guru, can he?”
For a while, everyone was stunned at this thought.
“A teenage guru?”
“How is it possible?”
In the martial arts world, many people who had practiced hard for decades only managed to break through to the Martial Superior Level. Elder Yi was one of those people. Even if one was a genius, he would be at least 30 or 40 years old when he reached the eighth or ninth class.
Even Diwu Qian, who ranked second among the top ten martial arts geniuses in the domestic, only reached the peak of the eighth class with two opened meridians at the age of 20!
All those people had not reached the Guru Realm, let alone a teenager.
How could a teenager already be a guru?
No one could believe it. But according to all the information they had, this guy, who was among them but couldn’t be located by thousands of people, must be a guru, and there was a great possibility that he was a teenage guru!
This was just unbelievable!
On the auction stage—
“Is this, is this for me?”
The young man, who had just handed the parchment to the middle-aged manager, looked blankly at the sword in front of him that had pierced into the ground. His face was full of surprise and exhilaration.
“Yes, it’s yours.”
The middle-aged manager nodded and then said, “Since this is a transaction completed in our auction house, as the host, how about I help you verify the grade of this sword?”
“I’d like that, thank you.”
The young man thanked him and quickly stepped forward and pulled the sword out of the floor.
“Fetch the Sword Testing Stone.”
The middle-aged manager shouted, and a staff member swiftly brought him the Sword Testing Stone and put it on the exhibition table for auction targets.
“Put the sword on the Sword Testing Stone,” advised the middle-aged manager.
The young man did not hesitate and immediately placed the sword on the stone.
The next moment—
“Sixth class!” The middle-aged manager announced.
Once his words were out, everyone was stupefied.
Didn’t they seal the deal with a fifth-class sword?
But he actually gave the young man a sixth-class sword!
It should be noted that if the value of the sword was converted into money, it would be worth millions more!
“Sixth, sixth class?”
The young man was flabbergasted.
Soon, someone made a bid for that sword on the spot, but the young man rejected it.
After all, at the previous auction, only one sixth-class sword was auctioned. Many people who wanted to buy it but were outbid were now quite envious of this young man.
Beside the stage, He Gaoming’s face was full of bitterness, but he didn’t dare to complain in case his master’s identity was exposed if he was not careful. So, he could only stare at Fang Qiu even without blinking.
Fang Qiu, on the other hand, remained quite composed.
He had already given He Gaoming a fifth-class sword. Although it was a broken sword, it still had the function of a fifth-class sword. Now without the sixth-class, he could still use it for the time being.
What was more, as Fang Qiu had already decided to make a deal with that young man, he had to keep his word. It would be a waste of time to cast a new fifth-class sword from scratch after the auction ended.
Therefore, Fang Qiu could only give He Gaoming’s sword to the young man.
Anyway, He Gaoming was determined to join his ranks. At the worst, Fang Qiu would just need to cast another sword for him in the future.
As to the value of this sword, Fang Qiu didn’t care much.
As long as what the parchment recorded was true, Fang Qiu was even willing to trade a seventh-class or eighth-class sword for it, let alone a sixth-class one.
The rarity of the Heaven Treasure ranked 17th was not the point here.
At least, it was the most suitable one for Fang Qiu.
After breaking through to the sixth class, the next Heaven Treasure that Fang Qiu needed for the next breakthrough was at a higher level. The 17th Heaven Treasure was just right for him.
And the most important thing was that things like Heaven Treasures could only be found by chance.
Even if there was only a slim chance, Fang Qiu was willing to seize it.
Who knew when he would make the next breakthrough and when he would get hold of the Heaven Treasure he needed?
In the face of unknown situations, the best way to deal with it was to always be prepared.
The auction came to an end.
Under the envious gazes of countless people, the young man left with the sixth-class sword in his arms.
At the same time, others also began to exit.
When departing, everyone was a little absent-minded. They were crazy for the Guru Sword, which was sold at a sky-high price of 300 million yuan. And they were still in the shock produced by the bizarre scene that occurred at the end.
Soon, the news of the auction was also posted on the Wulin forum.
In addition to the spread of the news online, various details of the auction were quickly spread by word of mouth through the whole Wulin after the auction.
“300 million?”
“It’s simply a whopping price!”
“The price is sky-high, but the Guru Sword is also the best in the world. Aside from possessing the aura of the Guru Realm, it can also attract the surrounding Qi of Heaven and Earth. It’s surely worth 300 million!”
“Even Diwu Qian went to the auction. If I had known earlier, I would have gone to the auction as well. Though I couldn’t afford the Guru Sword, at least I could see Diwu Qian in person.”
“I heard that the one who consigned the Chic Cloud Pavilion to auction the Guru Sword seems to be a teenage guru!”
“How can it be?”
“What nonsense are you talking about? Nowadays, even a guru in the evening of his life is scarce. Where can you find a teenage guru?”
