Chapter 95: Unprecedented—Never Once Giving Up!-Mass Job Change: My Skills Are All Forbidden Spells with a Ten Thousand Times Boost(By the banks of the Ruoshui River, the wine cups drift along the gentle current.)

"Two hundred and ten million Star Dragon Coins!"

Gongsun Qian'er stepped forward with a charming smile. "Fourth Young Master Ma, even though you’ve said as much, my Gongsun family would also very much like to have this Bloodslaughter Greatsword. Why don’t you do your elder sister a favor and let me have it?"

"Gongsun Qian’er, I advise you not to wade into these muddy waters!"

Ma Tianxin pulled Ma Tianxing aside and added, "Let me be frank—our Ma family is determined to win this Bloodslaughter Greatsword. If you have the ability, let’s keep bidding."

"Three hundred million!"

Listening to Ma Tianxin’s bid, Gongsun Qian’er offered a nod of appreciation. "As expected of you, Sister Tianxin, such a bold bid."

"Jumping straight to ninety million more—seems the Ma family truly has its sights set on this."

"Li Sanjin, what are you waiting for? Is the Azure Dragon Guild really going to just hand over the Bloodslaughter Greatsword like this?"

"That’s none of your concern," Li Sanjin replied calmly. "Three hundred and ten million!"

Meanwhile, inside the Chen family’s VIP room—

"Young master, the old master instructed us clearly: this Bloodslaughter Greatsword must be brought back. Shouldn’t we start bidding?" the Chen family steward asked, puzzled.

"No rush. Let the Ma family and the Azure Dragon Guild fight like dogs for now. I doubt we’re the only ones who applied for extra funds. With the Ma family bidding like this, they must have gotten their coffers topped up just as we did."

"Gongsun Qian’er put in a bid, then withdrew—likely thinking the same as I am, waiting to see how far Ma and Azure Dragon Guild will take their fight."

"We don’t yet know how much money they each have in hand, so it’s safer not to reveal any chinks in our armor."

"But we could try to scare them off with a show of strength! If we raise the price directly, maybe they’ll back down," the steward suggested.

"You’re overthinking it," Chen Feng said helplessly. "Everyone here wants the Bloodslaughter Greatsword. Even if we raise the price, they’ll just keep bidding higher."

"It does us no good."

"If it were that easy to scare them away, this auction wouldn’t be so troublesome."

"For ordinary items, that strategy might work. But for a piece of equipment everyone covets, using that method would be foolish."

The steward suddenly understood, exclaiming, "So that’s how it is."

"Right now, everyone’s attention is fixed on the Bloodslaughter Greatsword. At least the Azure Dragon Guild and Ma family are completely focused, and it’s easy for me to see who else isn’t participating."

"They seem to have forgotten there’s another legendary piece of equipment up for auction tonight!"

"If it’s being presented after the Bloodslaughter Greatsword, it must be just as significant."

"We don’t need to fixate solely on the sword. With competition this fierce, there’s no way both legendary items will end up in the hands of one faction."

"So, if the price on this piece truly gets ridiculous, we can shift our attention."

"An auction is a contest of patience and wealth. Wealth we have in abundance; all we need to do is outlast them."

"Don’t worry—however calm they may seem now, they’ll eventually lose their composure."

...

"Mr. Lin, this Bloodslaughter Greatsword is truly a rare treasure. In all my years at the auction house, I’ve never seen such a frenzied bidding war," Xiaotao remarked sincerely.

"It’s all right. For all we know, someone else might consider it unwanted," Lin Han replied with a faint smile. After all, he had only sold this item to Manager Liu to make a bit of money. Who could have guessed that its value would now exceed three hundred million?

This wasn’t just doubling or tripling its value—it had increased fourfold!

And judging by the subtle tension among the bidders, the price could still climb.

He was about to strike it rich—truly, spectacularly rich.

Xiaotao laughed. "Mr. Lin, you jest. Equipment of this caliber… Even a Saint-level expert wouldn’t so easily discard it."

"Perhaps the previous owner wasn’t a Saint-level expert?" Lin Han said, his tone laden with meaning.

"Mr. Lin, are you saying…?"

"Don’t say it aloud. That would be disrespectful," Lin Han said, eyes mysterious. Xiaotao hurriedly closed her mouth. Such beings were not for her to mention.

Watching the fierce bidding, Lin Han felt an inexplicable thrill. The price had already soared to five hundred million, with the Azure Dragon Guild leading.

Bid, bid higher! If you stop now, how can I make more money?

If he had enough funds himself, he would have joined in just to fan the flames. As it was, he could only watch the titans battle.

"Six hundred million Star Dragon Coins!"

Ma Tianxin gritted her teeth. She hadn’t expected the Azure Dragon Guild to be so tenacious, refusing to let go of the Ma family’s lead.

"Six hundred and fifty million," Li Sanjin replied coolly.

"Seven hundred million!"

"Seven hundred and fifty million!"

"Eight hundred million!"

"Eight hundred and fifty million…"

"Nine hundred million!"

"…"

"One billion!" Ma Tianxin declared viciously. The price had reached the one-billion threshold, and the bidding had moved from five-million increments to jumps of fifty million.

Both sides looked determined to win at any cost.

Gongsun Qian’er sauntered to the edge of the VIP area, smiling. "Sister Tianxin, you certainly have nerve, bidding straight to a billion. But isn’t it about time you let someone else have a turn?"

"Brother Li, perhaps you should step aside as well and let your little sister take over."

"One billion, five hundred million!"

"The Gongsun family has joined in," Li Changqi said, his expression turning grave. "We can’t let them take the Bloodslaughter Greatsword. If we don’t act now, it’ll be too late."

"Sister Gongsun, perhaps you could do the Li family a favor and let us have the sword?"

"One billion, one hundred million Star Dragon Coins!"

"Young Master Li, your reputation precedes you," Wang Xu taunted. "But the Bloodslaughter Greatsword seems to have an unspoken kinship with my Wang family. Surely it’s best if it comes to us."

"One billion, two hundred million Star Dragon Coins!"

With the five great clans now joining the bidding, Ma Tianxin’s composure began to fray. "What’s the meaning of this? You all sat back and watched me and the Azure Dragon Guild fight it out, and now you want to join the fray?"

"Xin’er, you shouldn’t say that," Wang Xu replied with a smile. "We just didn’t want to interrupt earlier. But now that everyone’s involved, it’s only natural for us to join as well."

"Besides, haven’t you misunderstood? We never said we’d given up on bidding."
