Godly Auction System

Magic Beast Mountain Range, eastern region of Jia Ma Empire.

The sky was overcast with dense clouds, and a violent storm raged beneath.

Dazzling lightning flashed through the clouds, like dragons and serpents crawling behind the dark clouds, illuminating the tranquillity of the night and infusing the otherwise serene mountain range with a touch of terror.

The thunder boomed like drums beating near the ears, deafeningly loud.

Blood-red raindrops fell to the ground, splashing up and scattering like beautiful petals.

In the potholes, blood mixed with rainwater, forming a small stream that flowed downward.

Not far away, a mountain of corpses came into view, emitting an endless stench that made one feel like vomiting.

Hungry vultures circled in the sky, and some, fearless of death, landed directly on the corpses to feast.

The scene was utterly tragic.

"Who am I?"

"Where am I?"

"What is this place?"

A young man dressed in white robes spoke with bewildered tone. His figure slender with a handsome face and fair skin. His brows curved sharply like a blade, and eyes shone with youthful energy.

Li Xiao looked around the unfamiliar forest, his expression as dumbfounded as the third emoji on a phone, standing there in a daze.

He clearly remembered having an intimate time with a young lady just moments ago, yet in the blink of an eye, he found himself here.

A feeling of anxiety and fear spread within him. Li Xiao instinctively patted his body to check whether he was still human or something else, feeling relieve to know that he wasn't a monster—or might be worse, a grass or a stone.

As a person from the 21st century, Li Xiao seemed to already have an answer in his heart... he had transmigrated!

[ Congratulations to the host for discovering the successful transmigration. The system initiate auto-binding, please wait a moment~ ]

Hearing the mechanical-like voice in his mind, Li Xiao's heart jumped in joy. This must be the legendary golden finger, the privilege of every transmigrator from the same hometown.

As a web novel enthusiast who had read countless titles, he wasn't unfamiliar with the existence of a golden finger. It brought countless benefits to the protagonist with minimal effort, ensuring survival no matter what.

For example, when falling off a cliff, not only did one survive but also stumble upon a secret manual, fast-tracking to become a mighty figure.

In the game term, the golden finger was akin to cheats or game modifiers.

Upon hearing the system's prompt, Li Xiao involuntarily closed his eyes and memories started to roll like a movie in his mind.

After digesting the new information for a while, he immediately recognized the world he was in.

This was the world of "Battle Through the Heavens," and the place he was in was one of the most dangerous places in the region, Magic Beast Mountain Range, known as a place where even a Dou Emperor-level powerhouse wouldn't be able to come and go as they pleased!

No wonder this place felt so oppressive—it was actually the infamous Magic Beast Mountain Range!

When Li Xiao first read the novel, he occasionally fantasized about crossing into the world of "Battle Through the Heavens" to experience the chicness of transformation brought by cultivating Dou Qi.

He didn't expect it to happen so quickly.

Then, doubts arose in his mind as he began to understand the main function of the system. After researching for some time, Li Xiao discovered the in and out of his golden finger.

It was an auction system where rare and precious items could be auctioned off to earn wealth which then would be converted into system points, allowing him to buy various skills and techniques from the shop.

It indeed sounded incredibly powerful but…

Li Xiao inspected his body and sensed that his current strength was only at the three-star Dou Practitioner level.

A sigh escaped through his lips.

Not to mention hosting an auction, even surviving and leaving the Magic Beast Mountain Range was a tall task for the current him.

This was a place where the strong magical beasts roamed free, and most of them loved to slaughter humans and feast on their flesh and blood.

Especially when devouring humans with high realms, it allowed them to quickly improve their levels, which was why magical beasts never ceased making human as their preys.

"System, is there a newbie gift package? As a transmigrator, shouldn't I be directly promoted to Dou God?"

"Well, if that's a stretch, at least let me become a Dou Saint, so I can walk across the Dou Qi Continent without worry."

[Sorry, host, system does not provide the service to directly promote you to Dou God realm, but there is a newbie gift package.]

[Congratulations, you obtain the newbie gift package. Would you like to open it?]

Li Xiao shrugged. Since it wasn't capable to directly make him soar to the sky, he decided to see what the content of the newbie gift package was.

As he clicked open, a dazzling golden light burst out, and a golden beam pierced through the clouds, making it particularly eye-catching in the night.

[Congratulations, you obtain an auction house. You can freely change its name.]

[Congratulations, you obtain two random strong experts for the auction house, at the nine-star Dou Ancestor level.]

[Congratulations you obtain the nineteenth-ranked Heavenly Flame, Green Lotus Core Flame.]

Seeing the panel before him, Li Xiao stroked his chin. What intrigued him most was not the Heavenly Flame or the auction house but the randomly assigned nine-star Dou Ancestor experts. They were powerhouses just one step below Dou Venerable.

Li Xiao swiped his right hand to change the reward page to the character page, revealing the names of the Dou Ancestor fighters.

---

Name: Linglong

Realm: Peak Nine-star Dou Ancestor

Dou Techniques: Sky Crushing Finger (High-level Heaven rank), Three Thousand Lightning Illusionary Body (High-level Earth rank)

---

Name: Niu Meng

Realm: Early Nine-star Dou Ancestor

Dou Techniques: Lion Roar Shakes Heaven and Earth (Mid-level Heaven rank), Mountain-shaking Fist (Mid-level Earth rank).

---

Seeing that they both possessed extremely high-level Dou Techniques, Li Xiao couldn't help but be amazed. Even a Dou Venerable might not necessarily cultivate Heaven-rank techniques, which were usually accessible only to half-saint level powerhouse and above.

These two would be practically invincible in the Jia Ma Empire.

In the Central Plains, however, Dou Ancestor-level experts might not possess any deterrence, as the Central Plains had countless stronger fighters, with Dou Ancestors-level experts being as common as cabbage in the market and only Dou Venerable-level experts and above were considered powerhouses.

With a mere thought, two figures almost simultaneously stepped into the air.

In the front was Linglong, wearing a cold expression on her beautiful face. The white robe hugging her curvaceous body blended perfectly with her snow-white skin. Her eyes as clear as ice crystal and her long black hair flowed with the wind, giving a feeling of icy chill.

Niu Meng, as his name suggested, was tall and imposing, standing at eight feet, with a robust physique and a bald head, his muscles bulging furiously as if he could shatter the void with a punch.

The two knelt before Li Xiao, respectfully greeting in unison, "Greetings, Master."

Li Xiao nodded in satisfaction, pretending to be deep, "Rise."

"Thank you, Master."

The oppressive aura they brought was truly shocking. Sensing Linglong and Niu Meng's presence, the high-rank magical beasts around dared not approach, hiding behind trees and secretly observing the unfamiliar humans.

Linglong turned her head and snorted coldly. Sensing the killing intent aiming at them, she raised her right hand slightly, and all magical beasts within a hundred meters fell dead, leaving only a spluttering flesh on the ground.

Yikes!

Unprecedented shock shook Li Xiao's heart.

That's a Dou Ancestor expert for you!
