The auction finally began, and the host, brimming with enthusiasm, addressed all the guests in an inciting tone."Good morning, gentlemen and ladies, and welcome to the auction held by our establishment.""I am your host, Zhao Liutao. I will be presiding over today's auction. It's a pleasure to serve you all, and I hope…""Whoosh…" Before the host could even finish his opening remarks, a grape flew towards his forehead, hitting him squarely between the eyebrows and instantly splattering into pieces.A man's impatient voice could be heard urging, "Can you stop with the endless chatter? Just start already! Who has time to listen to your nonsense? Isn't this annoying?"Unexpectedly, after this man vented his frustration, many other distinguished guests chimed in."That's a long opening speech. I came to see the auction items, not to listen to your rubbish.""Exactly! If you keep spouting so much nonsense, do you believe I'll come up there and slap you twice…?""Hurry up, hurry up! An entire auction doesn't even last that long, and the ticket prices are so expensive. Don't waste my time."…The host's face stiffened. He usually followed the same procedures, and he had never seen the distinguished guests express any dissatisfaction.He guessed that these guests were all feeling impatient due to what had just happened.However, due to Ling Yun's formidable strength, even though they were dissatisfied, they forcibly endured it.When he delivered his opening remarks, these guests took the opportunity to challenge him and vent their inner frustrations.Ultimately, it was a result of bullying the weak and fearing the strong. He wiped away the splattered grape from his head and beckoned to a beautiful maid in a qipao.The beautiful maid then came forward, holding an auction item covered in red cloth, her alluring figure swaying, quickly drawing the curiosity of many guests.The host dramatically unveiled the item wrapped in red cloth, revealing its true appearance: a bracelet-type spirit tool."Distinguished guests, this is the first item to be auctioned today: a bracelet-type spatial spirit tool with an internal capacity of five cubic meters.""The starting bid is one thousand gold coins, and each bid increment must not be less than one hundred. Bidding starts now…"Ling Yun frowned. A bracelet-type spatial spirit tool with only a five-cubic-meter capacity? Isn't that too small?If he hadn't seen the Twenty Four Moonlit Bridges and hadn't opened his own storage space, perhaps Ling Yun might have been a little interested.But Ling Yun now possessed his own self-created storage space, with a capacity of hundreds of cubic meters. Compared to his storage space, this bracelet was instantly reduced to mere dregs.Similarly, neither the Blue Lightning Tyrant Dragon Clan nor the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile School, nor any other medium-to-large clans, had much interest in this bracelet.Because among these clans, which family didn't have several spatial spirit tools?For example, in the original work, Dugu Bo gave Tang San a Wishful Hundred Treasure Purse.Not only was its storage function stronger than the Twenty Four Moonlit Bridges, but it could also store living beings, even easily accommodating a semi-resurrected Xiao Wu.From this, it can be seen that the development of storage-type spirit tools in the Douluo World was quite good, and basically, medium-to-large clans would not lack this item.However, while these medium-to-large clans had no interest in these items, it didn't mean that small clans wouldn't want them.Therefore, the price of the bracelet spirit tool, with a starting bid of one thousand gold coins, quickly soared."One thousand two hundred gold coins.""One thousand four hundred gold coins.""One thousand seven hundred gold coins."…Soon, the price of this bracelet spirit tool broke the two thousand gold coin mark and continued to soar to three thousand six hundred gold coins before the bidding stopped."Three thousand six hundred gold coins once, three thousand six hundred gold coins twice, three thousand six hundred gold coins three times, sold!!!"The host's heart was blooming with joy at this moment. He hadn't expected the first item, a five-cubic-meter storage space spirit tool, to be such a resounding success.Ling Yun pouted, thinking it was only worth so little.If this five-cubic-meter bracelet-type spatial spirit tool were placed in his previous life, it would absolutely cause countless people to fight over it.It would probably sell for tens of billions, even hundreds of billions, which would be normal, after all, there were no such treasures in his previous life, and rarity makes things valuable.Ever since he had a gold card with three million gold coins in his pocket, Ling Yun felt his horizons had broadened considerably.Three thousand-plus gold coins were completely a small sum, just pocket change.After the beautiful maid, carrying the storage bracelet, left the auction with the successful bidder, the second item was brought up by an exotic-looking maid at the host's signal.The host spoke in an enticing tone to the guests, "The first item just now was a resounding success, and I hope this second item will also win everyone's favor."After the host finished speaking, he pulled back the red cloth covering the item in the maid's hand, revealing the auction item's true appearance.This item was none other than the Sleeve Arrow that Ling Yun had the Strength Clan make. Its strange shape, combined with the cold metallic gleam, successfully piqued everyone's curiosity."This item is called the Sleeve Arrow. It possesses the effect of continuous single-target attacks and is composed of three arrows and a sleeve tube.""It can be worn on the arm, characterized by its speed and strong penetration. Because it is silent and can be concealed within a sleeve, its stealth is extremely strong."The host practically re-told everything Ling Yun had introduced that day.After he finished speaking, his expression became serious. He took out a pair of gloves from his pocket and put them on his hands.His solemn demeanor further aroused everyone's curiosity. What was going on? Why did he need to wear gloves to introduce this item?Amidst everyone's curious gazes, the host put on his gloves and carefully placed the Sleeve Arrow, which the maid was holding, onto his right arm.He then installed three arrows, each over a foot long, onto the Sleeve Arrow. Next, a burly man came up carrying three arrow targets and set them up outside the auction stage, about twenty meters from the host.After the burly man left, the host immediately activated the Sleeve Arrow. Most of the distinguished guests only saw the host making strange gestures, but heard not a single sound.Most of the distinguished guests looked somewhat bewildered, not understanding what on earth he was doing.Only powerhouses above the Spirit Saint level saw that as the host struck various strange poses, three arrows were shot from the device on his right arm, each hitting one of the three targets.Yu Luomian stood up from his seat, frowning deeply, and asked the host, "Is this item one of the treasures your auction house claims can revolutionize the battlefield? May this old man come forward to observe?"The host recognized Yu Luomian's identity at a glance and nodded slightly. "Yes, please come to the stage, Second Master Yu."
