227: My role model!!

A Blood Clan Duke's Blood Core?

Inside the private room, the expression on Wang Chen's face changed instantly.

Although he had guessed that this heart came from an incredibly powerful transcendent creature, he never expected it to be from a Blood Clan Duke.

That was a Blood Clan Duke!

Having gone through nine years of compulsory Awakener education, Wang Chen knew all too well what this represented.

In the seven hundred years since the awakening of the Will of the Heavens, the most powerful and troublesome enemy Blue Star had encountered while fighting in the Myriad Heavens Battlefield was the Blood Clan.

These Blood Clan members were similar to the vampires from the supernatural legends of Wang Chen's previous Life, yet they were entirely different.

They did not fear sunlight, possessed incredibly powerful Life, kept humans as livestock for blood, and ruled over several worlds.

After Blue Star appeared in the Myriad Heavens Battlefield, the Blood Clan made Blue Star humans their next target.

The war between Blue Star and the Blood Clan had never ceased throughout seven hundred years of history; even now, both sides were still stationed at the borders of the Myriad Heavens Battlefield, engaged in ceaseless slaughter.

Even a child on Blue Star who had just learned to read knew that the Blood Clan was currently Blue Star's greatest enemy.

The Blood Clan's transcendent system was different from Blue Star's Awakener system; they followed the path of Bloodline advancement.

Every Blood Clan member was a noble in their own world, possessing an exaggerated number of slaves and servants.

Their strength was classified in descending order: Prince, Duke, Marquis, Earl, Viscount, and Baron.

A Duke was already at the absolute upper echelon of the ruling class in the Blood Clan's world.

Their strength was equivalent to an Eight-Turn Awakener.

Wang Chen never expected that the Yuantong Chamber of Commerce would actually manage to auction off a Blood Clan Duke's blood core, and a fresh one at that, extracted just three days ago.

This was absolutely insane!

"Manager Huang, I never imagined that the Yuantong Chamber of Commerce had such deep resources. A Blood Clan Duke equivalent to an Eight-Turn powerhouse, you actually..."

Turning his head to look at Huang Yuan, Wang Chen didn't know how to describe his shock for a moment.

"This..."

Huang Yuan gave a wry smile, shock still lingering on his face.

Clearly, he hadn't expected that the final grand finale item of today's auction would be such a precious thing.

However, hearing Wang Chen's words, Huang Yuan hurriedly explained: "Mr. Wang, please do not misunderstand. My Yuantong Chamber of Commerce does not have the strength to confront a Blood Clan Duke."

"You should know that these Blood Clan fellows are practically an army of one. High-ranking Blood Clan nobles all possess a massive number of slaves and servant armies."

"A Duke is simply not someone our Chamber of Commerce can afford to provoke."

"This Duke's blood core likely flowed out from a legion; my Yuantong Chamber of Commerce just bought it to auction off."

"Hmm."

Hearing Huang Yuan's words, Wang Chen nodded.

Indeed.

A Blood Clan Duke not only had power equivalent to an Eight-Turn powerhouse but also commanded at least a million-strong servant army.

Such a formidable lineup was simply not something an ordinary faction could handle.

However...

"I haven't heard of any major battles breaking out in the Myriad Heavens Battlefield recently. How exactly was this fresh Blood Clan Duke's blood core obtained?"

Wang Chen felt some doubt in his heart.

Just then, seeing that the atmosphere in the venue had been built up sufficiently, Tang Youyou spoke up: "I presume all our distinguished guests are very curious about the origin of this Duke's blood core."

"Then I will not keep you in suspense. The distinguished guest who sold this item previously gave instructions that there is no need to hide his identity."

"I will now clarify this for everyone."

As soon as she finished speaking, the atmosphere in the auction hall fell silent, and everyone looked at Tang Youyou with burning eyes.

Seeing this, a smile appeared on Tang Youyou's face, and she continued in an admiring tone: "This Blood Clan Duke's blood core was obtained three days ago by our Dragon Kingdom's Legion Commander Bai, who fought alone across ten thousand miles and forcibly killed a Blood Clan Duke amidst a million-strong Blood Clan servant army."

"My Yuantong Chamber of Commerce just happened to be there and received this blood core from Legion Commander Bai."

Boom!

As soon as the words fell, the atmosphere in the entire auction hall exploded.

Tang Youyou spoke briefly, but everyone could see the danger hidden between the lines.

One man fighting across ten thousand miles to retrieve a Blood Clan Duke's blood core from within a million-strong army.

This battle record was simply shocking and world-shaking, making everyone yearn for such power.

And from Tang Youyou's words, they also realized the identity of the seller.

Legion Commander Bai.

Clearly, it was the most monstrous Genius of the Dragon Kingdom in the last fifty years, Bai Ziting!

"Truly incredible! Incredible!"

"Fighting alone across ten thousand miles to slay a Blood Clan Duke powerhouse—Legion Commander Bai's actions deserve a grand celebration!"

"Although Legion Commander Bai has only recently entered the Eight-Turn stage, his battle record is already chasing those veteran powerhouses."

The auction hall was buzzing with discussion, and the expressions on everyone's faces were incredibly excited.

Since the awakening of the Will of the Heavens, where great power belongs to the individual, everyone naturally feels a sense of worship towards powerful Awakeners.

Let alone an Eight-Turn powerhouse like Bai Ziting who could forcibly kill a Blood Clan Duke.

However, as they discussed, the atmosphere in the venue suddenly went quiet again, and everyone's gaze fell upon Thirteen's private room.

Almost forgot.

There was also a Junior Brother of Bai Ziting here.

"Holy crap!"

"If Wang Chen wants to bid for this Duke's blood core, should I still compete?"

Many people felt conflicted at this moment.

Bai Ziting had just slain a Blood Clan Duke and brought his blood core to the auction.

And they were following behind to compete with his Junior Brother for this blood core at the auction.

If Wang Chen happened to be petty...

This Blood Clan Duke's blood core would become a hot potato in whoever's hands it fell into.

On the auction stage, Tang Youyou, who was satisfied with the guests' reactions below, suddenly thought of this as well.

Damn it!

Should I raise the starting price tenfold?

Otherwise, if Wang Chen bids and no one dares to compete with him, wouldn't the Yuantong Chamber of Commerce lose a fortune!

For a moment, thinking about the cost paid to acquire this Duke's blood core, Tang Youyou's expression became even more resentful.

And at this moment...

Inside Thirteen's private room.

Wang Chen still hadn't recovered from Tang Youyou's words.

His Senior Brother had fought alone across ten thousand miles and slain a Blood Clan Duke amidst a million-strong army.

As his Junior Brother, he just wanted to shout out loud at this moment:

"Senior Brother, you are awesome (voice cracking)!!!"

This battle record is simply terrifying!!!

"When I last saw Senior Brother, that cavalier attitude of his was just too deceptive."

Thinking about his last meeting with Bai Ziting, Wang Chen still couldn't believe it.

Who would have thought that Bai Ziting, who looked like a laid-back, nice guy, could be so fierce on the Myriad Heavens Battlefield!

He is truly a role model for us all!

"Ahem..."

Just as Wang Chen was immersed in his shock, Huang Yuan, who was to the side, suddenly coughed lightly and reached out to tug at Wang Chen's sleeve.

"Mr. Wang, this Duke's blood core is of extremely high value. Do you think... are you interested?"

Huang Yuan asked in a somewhat stuttering tone.
