Outside of the room, Sung Jin-hoo remained expressionless. He continued walking, and stopped in front of the room that was right next to Igris’s.

Igris suddenly frowned, he seemed to sense a powerful aura that was quite close.

"Igris, what’s wrong?" Caleb asked.

Igris shook his head, "Nothing, I think the auction is about to start."

"Yeah, everyone seems to have already arrived. Oh right, How much did you bring?"

"One hundred and eighty thousand Crown."

"I don’t think that would be enough."

Igris laughed, "It’s more than enough. After all, I am here only to watch, I might not even buy anything."

It was already a lot of money. If he saw something he was really interested in, he had several black gold equipments that would be up to twenty million silvers, which was two million gold. That was even more than the worth of some of those small families’ wealth.

"Hehe, you would regret not bringing enough money later." Caleb laughed.

Igris did not really pay attention to the conversation with Caleb. He was using his divine sense to scan the other side of the wall, the room right next to theirs.

There was a young man sitting in the room.

He had an ordinary appearance, and was wearing white suit; he had an erect posture. All of his Energy was perfectly concealed, and it was rushing back to his body. He seemed to have reached the Level 30, or at least was on the verge of breaking through.

’This guy should be "Frost Crest."

Sung Jin-hoo had no idea of Igris scanning his room. But still, he felt alarmed about something, he turned his head and looked at the wall.

’Did he sense me? No...he did not.’ Igris noticed that Sung Jin-hoo’s eyes were not focused, and felt that he did not notice him. 𝐟𝕣𝗲𝕖𝕨𝗲𝐛𝗻𝗼𝐯𝗲𝚕.𝗰𝚘𝐦

Since there was no use in scanning any longer, Igris took back his soul power.

Sung Jin-hoo sensed that the odd feeling had disappeared. He was a bit confused, but he did not give it much thought, as the auction had started.

An elder walked up and stood behind the auction table made of stone.

He clapped his hands, and all the crystals above the whole auction plaza lit up. The gentle lighting brightened the whole place, including the dark corners.

"Ladies and gentlemen, welcome to the Dellas Auction Plaza. I am a Silver rank auction host Herex. I assume most of you have never heard of me, but that’s okay, there’s no need to try and remember my name, since it might still be me hosting the auction the next time you are here."

"Before we start, I would like to mention that if anyone has any valuable treasures they want to put up in the auction, you could entrust us with them now. We would separate them into four ranks, the Iron rank Treasures will be charged with a ten percent service fee; Black-Iron rank Treasures will be charged fifty percent as the service fee, we would charge you nothing for a Silver rank Treasure. And as for the Gold rank Treasures, we would even pay you in return for auctioning it here."

After hearing him, people started to talk.

"Is he joking? Why would anyone auction their high rank and Gold rank Treasures? How stupid!"

"Right, a single Iron rank Treasure would make people fight. Even level 10 Players with class and level 15 Players would go crazy about a Black-Iron rank Treasure. Don’t even mention Silver and Gold rank Treasures."

The elder smiled, he did not say those words for nothing. He wanted to stimulate the crowd, as people do weird things when they were in high spirits, and that would be a good thing for the auction plaza.

"Alright, I don’t want to waste your time. The auction has officially begun. Please, bring up the first item."

After he said that, a beautiful girl walked up from behind him, with a gold colored wooden tray covered with a bright yellow colored silk cloth.

The tray was placed on the auction table, and the elder in yellow revealed what was under the bright yellow silk cloth.

All of a sudden, a blue secret manual appeared in front of everyone’s eyes.

"The first item is a skill manual, called the Collapsing Fist, which is a top rank Mortal rank skill. Once mastered, the player’s fist could even shatter a mountain to ashes. It is extremely powerful! This can be said to be one of the most powerful top rank Mortal Grade martial skills."

"The starting price is twenty thousand gold, at least one thousand gold increment with each bid."

Hearing the elder’s introduction, everyone in the audience seemed to be excited.

"Damn, I need that. If I could train a top rank Mortal grade skill, I will be a lot more powerful and I will never have to worry about not making money ever again."

"Those wealthy players would not fight for it, this is a good chance to get that manual. I have to get it!"

Through the crystal glass, Igris saw everyone’s reaction. He could not help but shake his head. Compared to all the Players who entered Academies, rouge players really had a hard time. All they could get their hands on were basically rubbish. But according to the introduction, the Collapsing Fist seemed pretty powerful.

"Twenty thousand gold." Someone could not wait any longer, and started the bidding.

As soon as the first bid was out, the whole auction plaza started bidding.

"Twenty-three thousand gold!"

"Twenty-five thousand gold!"

"Fuck, twenty-eight thousand gold!"

A Level 18 Player with a scary face stood up, "I bid thirty thousand gold, who dares to bid against me?!"

"Thirty thousand gold is nothing; I bid thirty-five thousand gold!"

Igris was truly surprised. ’No way! A top rank Mortal Grade manual could actually be bid for thirty-five thousand gold! Then what does my one hundred and eight thousand gold mean? I don’t think i can purchase a single item here.’
