SUPREME ARCH-MAGUS

Princess Eila, who is staring at Kent with an angry glare, hurriedly turned around in frustration. For some reason, she didn't like Kent buying that Heavenly Protection Yantra. But she can't do anything.

"Two Hundred Thousand Mana Stones! Going once!" Lady Jia shouted enthusiastically.

All the eyes of the guests turned to the third row, where Kent sat. Even Peak Master Porus and Fatty were staring at Kent with surprise.

"Kent…!" (Porus)

"Don't worry, master. I have enough mana stone to pay the price." Kent replied in an assuring tone.

Seeing the honest look of Kent, Peak Master Porus stayed silent.

Meanwhile, no one made another bid. The chubby girl, who sat beside Master Lan, continued to push her father to bid. But Master Lan didn't try to bid any further.

"Lister to Father, I will get you even better treasure." Master Lan began pampering the chubby girl, who almost cried.

"Two hundred thousand! Going once! Twice! Thrice! Sold!" With an enthusiastic cry, Lady Jia declared Number 33 as the winner.

In the next instance, the servant lady with deep cleavage brought the yantra to Kent. All the prominent sect disciples in the second row turned around to see whether Kent could afford the price or not. Especially Bald Lin and the Ice Castle girls. The chubby girl in the second seat directly stood up from her seat, staring at Kent with a serious look.

Kent casually took out 2000 superior mana stones and placed them on the same tray that the servant lady held. Lady Jia, who was preparing to announce another item, stopped in her tracks after seeing the purple coloured mana stones. The servant lady and the old wizard's faces lit up after seeing superior mana stones.

"Thank you, young master, for paying in superior mana stones." Jia spoke loudly, attracting everyone's attention.

Bald Lin was stupefied as he remembered how he tried to mock Kent. Master Lan also took note of Kent, as he knew the value of a person who carries superior mana stones.

In the middle of surprise, the auction continued. Jia continued to introduce protecting Yantras and weapons in the next half an hour.

"-Hundred and fifty thousand mana stones! The Teleportation Yantra was sold to young master Kent!"

"-Hundred and ten thousand mana stones! The illusion yantra was sold to young master Kent!"

"-Two hundred and fifty thousand mana stones! The emperor miniature castle was sold to young master Kent!"

The emperor miniature castle is a treasure artifact that changes its size from a small finger-sized toy to a big ten-mile castle with all the facilities to live in. The castle can defend against the attacks of a mortal sovereign.

For the next hour, Kent spent a million mana stones and brought several rare treasures. Every time Kent called the bid, people began giving up. At one point, Fatty began calling bids for Kent, as he felt it was very exciting to show his face on aurora glass.

At one time, Bald Lin tried to play with Kent by bidding high for a trapping yantra. But Kent suddenly stopped bidding, and Bald Lin spent all his fortune which he saved for buying a weapon, on one single yantra.

The chubby girl beside Master Lan has been angrily staring at Kent for a long time.

Finally, the auction moved on to weapons. More than ten precious weapons were auctioned in the next half an hour. As Kent didn't find any bows, he stayed silent. No one understood why Kent is not bidding for weapons, which are very powerful and rare.

"-300,000! The powerful Frost bite wand sold to Princess Eila of Ice Castle!"

With a proud face, Princess Eila paid the hefty sum and brought Frost Bite wand.

"250,000! The Sky breaker sword was sold to the guest in room number 256!"

Kent recognized the person who brought the sky-breaker sword. It was Mo Jinn, the prime disciple of Jade Mountain Sect, who Kent defeated in the Arena group fight.

All the weapons sold in the auction were spirit weapons. Because of the presence of the weapon spirit, the weapons were auctioned at high prices.

"3,50,000! The blood moon curse whip sold to Master Lan!"

As Jia announced Master Lan's name, the Chubby girl hurriedly ran forward to receive the whip. With an awkward smile, Master Lan paid the mana stones. In front of all the others, the chubby girl raised her hands and flicked her whip. Instantly, a dark witch spirit came out of the whip and bowed to the chubby lady.

"God! How could she do it on the first try?"

"She just subdued the weapon spirit with one flick!"

"Congratulations, master Lan! You really have a talented daughter." The old wizard on the stage greeted with a smile.

With a wild smile, Master Lan dragged the chubby lady to her seat.

To grab attention back, Jia unveiled the last three items on the auction. The focus immediately shifted to the stage. The tall aurora glass displayed the three items closely.

Among the three remaining treasures, one is a palm-length golden-framed painting, the other is a normal-looking mirror, and the last one is a rusted key.

"Respected guests, these three treasures are very precious and powerful. Usually, the Wizard Association never approves of auctioning these items. But this time, we still don't know which demigod inheritance ground is awakening. So, for the safety of prime disciples, we are auctioning these powerful items today."

While auction lady Jia was explaining in a mysterious tone, the old wizard on stage picked up the small palm-sized painting and walked to the edge of the auction platform.

"The small painting in my hands is the famous 'Ethereal Canvas of Entrapment' crafted by a space-sage of the wizard association. This is the master piece of the space sage, who spent few years making this treasure. I will let you all witness the charm of this painting."

The old man spoke with a mysterious smile and muttered the spell engraved on the golden rim of the painting.

Instantly, the painting expanded and covered the auction stage from top to bottom. Before everyone's eyes, the images on the painting changed and created the illusion of the auction stage, but without the old man and Jia.

After a few instances, the onlookers failed to see the painting, and it appeared like a normal auction stage, waiting for the auctioneers to come.

A servant lady who stood below the auction stage walked on to the auction stage. Everything seemed normal as she moved normally on the auction stage, like in the in the real world. But when she tried to come out, she got blocked by a glass screen. Her screams were completely blocked.
