chapter 82

Time passed slowly.

In the blink of an eye, it was December 15th, the day before the triennial Ganwu auction.

On the balcony of the West Lake Courtyard castle.

Hong Lei Shen, Zhou Hao Luo Feng and the other three were taking a rare break.

They drank wine and chatted. When they officially joined the Virtual Universe Company and became external members, they all bought evolution catalysts.

Hong broke through from the Star level 1 to the Star level 3.

Thunder God broke through from the Star level 2 to the Star level 4.

Luo Feng's human clone broke through to the Star level 1, his spirit energy reached the Star level 4 (Golden Horned Beast Star level 4).

"Third brother, luckily you sold some spirit weapons before and became the leader of Earth. After that, you bought the universe level slaves and scared off those universe explorers. Otherwise, once they discover Earth, we'd be in trouble!" Hong exclaimed.

Thunder God nodded, "Right, one universe explorer ship isn't much, what's scary is the fleet behind them. Those universe slave capturing teams, the moment they discover a new life planet without an owner, the entire universe fleet will rush over. Not only do they have universe levels behind them, there are even domain lords, endless!"

As the two of them spoke, there was a trace of lingering fear on their faces.

Luo Feng, on the other hand, seemed calm. Long before the adventurers came, he had already obtained the first account left behind by the master of Yun Mo Planet, Hu Yan Bo. Even if Zhou Hao hadn't bought Earth, he would have bought Earth and become its horde leader.

However, it was still hard to scare them off like last time. After all, without the universe level slaves, that universe explorer ship wouldn't have left so easily.

When that time comes, he could only use the Black Dragon Mountain Empire's laws to scare them off.

Zhou Hao raised his head and drank a glass of wine, "This is a small matter. Recently, Heruo and Buleimu's invitation, big brother, second brother, fourth brother, what do you think?"

They often stayed in the Killing Fields.

They naturally knew many friends.

Heruo and Buleimu were close friends.

Ever since the two of them joined the mercenary trainee exam, they often sent emails to Hong and the others, inviting them to join.

Hong hesitated and said, "To be honest, I have long wanted to take part in the mercenary trainee exam. Only by going through life and death situations step by step can I improve myself faster. Moreover, during this period of time in the Killing Fields, I feel that the evolution of my body is not that fast, but …"

At the end, he sighed. "But the Battle of Geniuses is more important. If you miss this opportunity, you'll regret it for the rest of your life."

Thunder God said in a low voice, "You have to participate in the mercenary trainee exam, but there's no need to do so now."

Babata's voice rang out at this moment, "Wrong, ridiculously wrong."

Hong and Thunder God looked at Luo Feng.

Luo Feng shrugged helplessly.

"The genius battle is important, but the life and death adventures can stimulate your battle, domain control and comprehension. Between life and death, there are great terrors, but also great opportunities. The moment of life and death explodes with emotions, it's easier to comprehend the universe laws. Hence, I suggest you all take the universe mercenary trainee exam." Babata's voice was serious.

If he didn't know about the genius battle, he naturally wouldn't care about Hong Lei God. After all, Luo Feng had taken over the golden horned beast, his body only needed to devour to grow. There was no limit to his human body. However now it was different. The genius battle was about to begin. Just relying on training and the virtual battles in the Killing Fields was far from enough.

Only by going through life and death situations could one improve faster.

If training and comprehension alone could improve at a godly speed, then countless warriors in the universe wouldn't go out and risk their lives. Wouldn't it be better to just stay at home and not worry about dying?

Babata said this for Luo Feng's sake.

Thunder God couldn't help but ask, "Babata, won't taking the exam delay your training?"

Babata said impatiently, "When you're taking the exam, can't you enter the virtual universe? Can't you study the techniques? "

Seeing this.

Zhou Hao said, "When the time comes, we'll bring a few more star level guards. We can adventure during the day and train during the night, it won't delay anything."

Hong and Thunder God nodded.

In reality.

They had been in the Killing Fields for a few months and indeed felt that they had reached a bottleneck.

If they didn't know about the genius battle beforehand, they would've gone to take the exam long ago.

Zhou Hao said again, "As for the exam, we can go anytime. However, there's one thing I have to tell you. The Ganwu universe kingdom's auction will be held tomorrow. I'm a 3 star customer, I can take part in it. I heard that there will be many rare treasures there. If there's anything you want to buy, you can let me know."

"Ganwu auction?" Hong and Thunder God shook their heads, "We don't need anything at the moment."

Luo Feng shook his head too.

Babata shouted, "Zhou Hao, I'll go with you. If there's anything good, I'll remind you."

"Right, Third Brother, Babata is very knowledgeable. If you go to the auction, you can bring him along." Luo Feng said.

Zhou Hao didn't reject. There were many rare treasures in the auction that he didn't recognize. He only knew about the Nan Shen Armament and Mosha skin, as well as the swelling water fruit and some other items. Also, the Nan Shen Armament and Mosha skin would appear in the next auction.

… …

The next day.

Virtual universe, Black Dragon Mountain island, 9 star bay district.

After Zhou Hao bid farewell to Luo Feng and Hong Lei God, he brought Babata on a pegasus and arrived at the teleportation point.

Standing at the teleportation point, holding the Ganwu auction invitation letter, he shouted, "Teleport."

Shua.

Zhou Hao immediately disappeared from the Black Dragon Mountain island and arrived at a floating city above the Ganwu continent. The invitation letter glowed and activated the floating city's defenses.

Walking into the floating city, he quickly arrived at the auction hall.

At the entrance.

When Zhou Hao walked over, he saw a long line of people queuing up.

The people queuing up all had calm, cold, hot or sharp auras. Star levels like Zhou Hao were pitifully few.

Babata communicated mentally, "Hehe, this is the Ganwu country's triennial event. Most of the participants are sector lords. Zhou Hao, you little punk, you're about to broaden your horizons."

Zhou Hao curled his lips and ignored him.

After queuing for over an hour, it was finally his turn.

"Sir, how do you do. Welcome to this year's Ganwu auction. This is your seat number." The staff at the entrance smiled and handed over a badge.

Zhou Hao received the badge. On it was written: Hnd 76355.

Walking into the auction hall.

Even though he was mentally prepared, seeing the incomparably spacious hall, his face was still filled with shock.

Babata clicked his tongue, "Little punk, you're shocked right? Let me tell you, this is just a lower level auction. If it was a higher level auction, the participants would all be undying beings. The hall would be even more luxurious."

Zhou Hao listened to Babata's bragging as he walked to his seat.

The seat was 6m wide and 10m tall.

Sitting on it.

Zhou Hao appeared to be very small and skinny.

He was surrounded by sector lords. They were all 6-7m tall. Some were even 10m tall like giants. However, these people were purposely hiding their auras.

About three hours later.

The densely packed seats in the hall were all filled.

In the center of the hall, a bald old man carrying a black tortoise shell appeared from the platform below.

At the same time, above the auction hall, a 1m tall 3D image of the old man appeared.

"Thank you everyone for attending this year's auction. I believe many of you know me, Barto. This time, I'll be hosting this year's auction. Let's not waste words. Same old rules, before the auction begins, let's warm up the place!"
