Swallowing the Stars: Starting with a Simulated Battle of Geniuses!

Chapter 52 Mysterious Metal Plate - The Suspended Ranking!

"Your Highness, I didn't expect to see you here!"

As Luo Feng and his two companions entered the top-floor private room, the surrounding noise immediately disappeared.

As soon as you enter, a staff member pushes out a sofa and serves exotic fruits, wines, and delicacies.

Thor, with his carefree nature, plopped down on the sofa and looked around, saying, "This place is nice. Your Highness really knows how to enjoy yourself."

Seeing the Earth trio, Li Yang smiled faintly and asked, "What are you all planning to buy at the auction?"

As far as he knew, Luo Feng had already conceived a Demon Killer Clan clone and acquired a Divine Weapon after entering the Qianwu Secret Realm.

Hong, having become Luo's disciple, was not lacking in treasures or inheritances.

Thor... remains in the Thunder World, having inherited the legacy of Lord Kabu.

At that moment, the old intelligent life form was whispering something in Thor's ear, "Idiot, look at him, he's already comprehended a lower-level law at the Celestial level, and you haven't even scratched the surface!"

"Can I compare to His Highness Li Yang?" Thor muttered to himself.

Hong, with his calm and collected personality, took the opportunity to ask Li Yang for some insights into the laws of light, as he was just a hair's breadth away from fully comprehending them.

Li Yang solved Hong's problem in just a few words.

It was only after talking to them that I learned that the three of them came to the auction mainly to cultivate plant life.

Ever since they made a fortune with the Cloud Vine in the Thunder World, Hong and Thor have been extremely envious and are eager to invest in plant life to prepare for more adventures.

Although the Qianwu Mall has more resources, it's too wasteful to use points to buy resources for cultivating plant life.

So they came to the auction to try their luck.

"It's starting!" Thor stared at the auction stage outside the window, his expression becoming excited. He glanced at the cash inheritance left to him by Lord Kabu, looking eager to try his luck.

The 1000 units of cash left by Kabu's legacy are more than enough to cultivate a Domain Lord-level Thunder Vine; the only question is whether there will be a suitable Thunder Fruit.

One by one, treasures were presented on the auction stage, dazzling the eyes of the attendees.

"Auctioning off a star region?"

"What kind of tree leaves are so expensive?"

"Demon Slayer skin!"

Luo Feng's eyes lit up, because he had just conceived a Demon Slayer clone using similar skin tissue, and knew how precious that skin was.

However, the fact that it was identified as broken skin did not cause much of a stir.

The second batch of treasures saw a surge in auxiliary resources, with Hong and Lei Shen making bids in succession.

Hong purchased 100 sets of Lan Ke Fruit and 10 sets of Zi Ling Fruit.

Thor, on the other hand, managed to buy the Thunder-Thunder Fruit he had been longing for, a set of 10.

In addition, the special Force weapons and Force suits at the auction are all well worth acquiring.

Thor and Hong spent a lot of money, at least several hundred units of mixed energy.

In terms of wealth, Luo Feng has real estate worth thousands of Hunyuan units, but in terms of cash, he is not as good as Hong and Lei Shen. He only has about a hundred Hunyuan units in his account, which is the cash he obtained by selling the inheritance of the first level of the Kabu World Lord in the Thunder World to the Ninth Prince.

So he didn't rush to participate in the bidding until he saw a metal plate engraved with the laws of space.

Luo Feng was immediately interested; it was a good reference for spatial laws, clearly depicting the first three essential aspects of spatial laws.

If we can buy it and let the Demon Slayer Clan clone study it, their cultivation speed will definitely double.

"Buying that piece of black metal will at least save you a lot of trouble." Babata, unaware of the existence of the Chaos Stele, urged Luo Feng to buy the metal plate.

Luo Feng had always trusted Babata and immediately began to make an offer.

10 Mixed Yuan Units — 22 Mixed Yuan Units — 38 Mixed Yuan Units.......

After several rounds of bidding, the price of the metal plate was raised to 109 Mixed Yuan Units, clearly indicating that there were quite a few ambitious Realm Lords who wanted to comprehend the higher-level laws during their Realm Lord period.

"Third brother, just give me a quote. I still have some Hunyuan units here." Hong's gaze was firm, giving people a strong sense of security.

Thor did the same, raising his head to indicate that there was no problem.

But the next moment, the bidding price soared to 300 Chaos Units, and the bidder was an immortal god, which immediately scared away all the competitors.

Luo Feng's raised hand also froze.

Ding--

The bidding price rose again, 500 Mixed Yuan Units?

The immortal deity in the venue raised the price by another hundred units of Chaos.

Li Yang rang the bell again—1000 Mixed Yuan Units.

"Luo Feng, I heard from my grandmother that you have made great progress. Consider this metal plate a gift from me to you."

If the Ying Shan clan hadn't lacked an immortal deity who followed the laws of metal, someone would probably have already taken Luo Feng as their disciple.

"Thank you, Your Highness!"

Luo Feng didn't stand on ceremony.

He really liked that metal plate, and had received a lot of sponsorship from Ying Shan and Li Yang over the past two years. As the saying goes, the more debts you have, the less you have to worry.

I'll pay it back slowly in the future!

Thor and Hong were stunned by Li Yang's lavish spending.

Because the price of that metal plate is still rising.

Currently, there are 2200 mixed units.

Li Yang was slightly taken aback, not because he thought the price was too high, but because he wondered if that immortal god was crazy.

The metal plate is engraved with the three spatial essences, and normally it would sell for about one hundred Hunyuan units.

They actually offered 2200 Mixed Yuan Units?

There must be a demon in the abnormal situation!

Drop—10000 mixed units.

Li Yang was too lazy to waste time; the bidder was merely an ordinary immortal god. He simply crushed the opponent with ten thousand Chaos Units, refusing to believe the other party could afford a higher price.

As expected, after bidding 10,000 units of mixed energy, the entire room fell silent, and no one else made a bid!

The three Earth brothers were all stunned.

Luo Feng, in particular, suddenly felt that he could no longer bear the weight of that metal plate.

In the first-floor hall, the immortal god clad in earthen-yellow armor scanned the surrounding realm lords, cursing under his breath, "Damn it, no human could possibly know the value of that metal plate. Could it be that mysterious being from the abyss?"

........

Inside the top-floor private box.

Li Yang retrieved information about the origin of the metal plate and discovered that it came from the "Latonia Secret Realm," the same secret realm where Pansy obtained the Locke Divine Water!

"This is too much..." Luo Feng was a little embarrassed. If it were only a hundred or two Mixed Yuan Units, he could accept such a favor, but a favor worth tens of thousands of Mixed Yuan Units was not easy to repay.

"It's alright, this little bit of money is nothing to me, as long as it helps you."

Li Yang didn't care about the price; what he cared about was the secret hidden in that metal plate, which made the mysterious, immortal deity downstairs repeatedly quote exorbitant prices.

It would be worthwhile to check the other party's identity...

After this incident, the auction began with the final batch of treasures.

Until the grand finale—three slots for comprehending the initial universe.

"Three spots?"

"Good heavens, when did the Qianwu Universe Kingdom become so generous?"

"Haha, great! I'm well-prepared this time, and with three spots available at once, I'm sure I'll snag one."

The slots for the Initial Universe have just been listed—and the price has already jumped to 10000 Mixed Units.

The three spots are auctioned together, and the top three bidders will receive all three spots. The settlement will be based on the bid of the third-ranked bidder.

Li Yang's mind was no longer on the auction; he directly bid two astronomical prices of 100 million each. He lit two sky lanterns, securing two of the spots.

One million mixed units exploded in the venue like a tidal wave.

There is still only one spot left for everyone.

The final third-ranked bid was 37500 Mixed Yuan Units. The auction house will deduct 75000 Mixed Yuan Units from Li Yang's bid based on this price, returning the difference of over one million.

The auction thus came to an end.

Several days later.

The application form for the initial universe arrived, along with Luo Feng's spatial metal plate, which reached the Milky Way.

However, on this day, a major event also occurred.

In the virtual universe, a huge floating leaderboard appeared, with several powerful characters engraved on it: "Universal Peak Genius Battle!"

Just looking at these words is enough to get your blood pumping.

There was also a huge number of astronomical figures above, with more than 10 billion people signing up in just a short time.

1008 cosmic nations are simultaneously selecting participants, with hundreds of millions of people competing—the audience is all of humanity and even the entire primordial universe!
