Chapter 007: Bidding for Divine Beasts
Bobby Cha felt a sense of foreboding upon seeing him. Besides being the foremost beast warrior of Tuhai City, Reiser was also the nephew of Duke Sisko of Tunyun City, another important city of the Heluo Divine Sect. Duke Sisko had no heirs, making Reiser the primary heir to the duke's title.
"One hundred thousand gold coins? Do you think this is a sale of elven slaves? Hmph, this is a wise divine beast. Those without money should step aside!" A haughty young master, flanked by bodyguards, pushed through the crowd and declared, "Five hundred thousand gold coins!" As soon as he spoke, the nearby bear man shrank back, retreating into the crowd with a dejected expression. "Five hundred thousand gold coins!" The captain of the archers and his team members were suddenly struck by happiness, feeling as if they had been hit by a meteor—an overwhelming sensation that nearly made them faint.
Bobby sighed helplessly, feeling extremely frustrated. He held his breath, determined to win this round and suppress the arrogance of this blond young man
The archer captain did not dare to be negligent and quickly signaled to the two warriors with a glance. The warriors stood there motionless. The archer team was furious: What is wrong with these two guys? Can't they see the meaning behind the *illustration*?
Indeed, establishing a cult is by no means simple; however, it at least indicates that 500,000 gold coins represent a substantial fortune on the Divine Continent, sufficient to incite conflict among all. Even nobles conferred by the average temple would find it difficult to produce such a large sum at once. This young master, upon speaking, mentioned 500,000 gold coins, clearly suggesting a significant background.
After undergoing numerous trials, the warrior merges with the guardian beast, which sacrifices its own life to survive in a spiritual form within the warrior's body, thus giving birth to a guardian beast warrior
Leiser smiled and said, "Young Master Bobicha, what brings you to Swallow Sea City? Haha, what a coincidence! I just heard that there is an intelligent divine beast here, and I didn't expect to run into you. Since we are all interested, why not auction off a chance to see who is superior?" Leiser was very astute, directly expressing his interest in the divine beast, and by proposing a fair competition, he left Bobicha with no reason to refute.
Five hundred thousand gold coins are sufficient to build a magnificent temple at m.hetushu.com. With a temple of one's own, one can establish their own religion, recruit followers, and then comfortably serve as the supreme leader, waiting for the faithful to respectfully present offerings
The high price of 4 million gold coins successfully secured a wise divine beast, and Leise was quite satisfied. Having driven away the annoying competitors, the first guardian beast battle regained its former elegance, as he frequently waved to the ladies around him with a gentle and refined smile
Leiser is a young talent, far superior to other "second-generation heirs" by an immeasurable degree. No wonder Bobicha feels threatened
Leiser is determined to succeed, and the high price of 4 million has deterred all competitors
Yet, there are always those who refuse to cooperate. Just as both the buyer and the seller are ready to toast to this transaction, a melodious voice suddenly calls out: "Hold on!"
As soon as he appeared, the crowd exclaimed: "Reiser—Beast Warrior Reiser!" The Beast is a special type of magical creature. On the Divine Continent, where all beings are equal, everyone in the divine team is treated fairly, and they can only choose one between magic and martial skills. However, the gods show particular favor to the protectors of their faith, granting them the ability to cultivate both magical and martial skills. This ability is realized through the gods' pets—the Beasts.
"Isn't this the son of Duke Morpheus of Tunlang City, Bobicha?" A voice emerged from the crowd as a handsome young man with blonde hair and blue eyes stepped forward, clad in a robe adorned with gold patterns, and carrying a silver one-handed cross sword at his waist
The nobility is the class conferred by the divine teachings, responsible for managing the administrative affairs of the territory
Ah! Amidst the exclamations of the crowd, Bobby Chah retreated in dejection, his resentment towards Leiser reaching a peak. Leiser, however, was unfazed; in his view, Bobby Chah was not a threatening opponent at all. Even if Bobby Chah gritted his teeth in hatred, he could do nothing to him, at most cursing him in his heart.
Four hundred thousand gold coins! Four hundred thousand gold coins! The captain of the archers exclaimed excitedly, his words coming out in a jumble as he shouted, "Is there no higher offer?" He repeated this twice, but no one responded. Four hundred thousand gold coins for an intelligent divine beast is already a very high bid. The captain of the archers could only hope that this transaction would conclude quickly with the book, so he could receive the four hundred thousand gold coins. After that, he would no longer have to endure the hardships of traveling and battling monsters; he could simply lie on the jingling gold coins and sleep every day.

As soon as the adventure team saw the expression on Wei Mie’s face, they understood what was happening. They had traveled alongside this "divine beast" for a long time and knew him too well. At this moment, no mistakes could be made; if the "divine beast" faltered now, all their efforts would be in vain. The glory and wealth that were within their grasp would immediately vanish into thin air
"I offer 100,000 gold coins!" The first to question was a well-dressed orc from the Bear Clan, indicating that he was not lacking in wealth
Leiser showed no signs of relaxation; a hint of malice emanated from his captivating deep blue eyes: "Four million!" He extended four fingers, speaking softly yet firmly.
He quietly approached the two soldiers and whispered, "Go find something for him to eat." The soldiers grimaced, saying, "Captain, this is a city; we can't go hunting, but we've already spent all our money—this divine beast has a huge appetite, and we are out of funds..." The archer captain felt a jolt in his heart as he suddenly remembered that his small team had already been drained financially by the "mhetushucom.com divine beast"! He pondered for a moment, watching the divine beast gradually weaken, and finally made up his mind, gritting his teeth as he took off his bow and arrows: "Take these to buy some food!" When Wei Momi began to eat heartily, the bidding below had already reached a fever pitch. Leiser announced a new high bid: "Three million gold coins!" Bobicha's eyes turned bloodshot, his face pale, and he shouted fiercely, "Three million five hundred thousand! Three million five hundred thousand!" This was already the highest price he could offer; if Leiser raised the bid again, he would be powerless to respond.
Wei Momi stood on the stage, watching the crowd argue back and forth, suddenly finding it quite amusing: what kind of expression would they have if they knew they were not divine beasts at all, but merely human? It must be quite a spectacle! Wei Momi wanted to laugh, but he wore a pained expression instead, for he was hungry
Tunyun City is the largest city in Heluo, with substantial financial resources. If he is also interested in this intelligent divine beast, I might not be able to compete with him. Bobicha furrowed his brow, feeling a sense of vigilance in his heart
Leiser is known as the foremost beast warrior of Tunhai City, accomplished at a young age and strikingly handsome, making him the dream lover of many young women in the Heluo Divine Sect
