428: Chapter 428 One hundred million is too little? Then two hundred million it is!

Jin Buhuan's Face turned from flushed red to an ashen green, visible to the naked eye.

He whipped his head around, his gaze so gloomy and sinister it seemed as if poisonous water could drip from it, staring fixedly in the direction the voice had come from!

"Who?!"

"Who dares to not give me, Jin Buhuan, Face?!" Jin Buhuan squeezed these words out from between his teeth, carrying a hint of murderous intent from being offended.

In a corner of the hall, a person completely shrouded in a black robe slowly raised the bidding plaque in their hand.

It was him.

"Thirty-two million!" Without a second thought, Jin Buhuan directly raised the price, his tone filled with warning.

"Thirty-three million." The black-robed person's tone was flat, neither hurried nor slow.

"Thirty-five million!" Jin Buhuan's voice already carried an irrepressible anger.

"Thirty-eight million." The black-robed person remained as steady as an old dog.

The price soared all the way, breaking the forty-million mark in the blink of an eye!

Many Prodigies present could only shake their heads with bitter smiles, completely reduced to mere spectators. This wasn't an auction; it was clearly a collision of financial power from two different worlds.

Ultimately, when the price was raised to fifty million, that mysterious black-robed person finally fell silent.

He slowly lowered his bidding plaque and cupped his hands toward Jin Buhuan from a distance, signaling his concession.

"Hmph! Overestimating yourself!"

Seeing this, a smug sneer returned to Jin Buhuan's Face. He exhaled a long breath, feeling as though the Face he had lost earlier had been recovered.

He turned his head, his gaze sweeping across the hall like a monarch inspecting his territory, the provocative intent completely undisguised.

It was as if he were saying: Who else?! Who else dares to compete with me?!

The entire auction hall was deathly silent; no one else spoke up.

The smugness on Jin Buhuan's Face was almost overflowing. He even deliberately cast his gaze toward the Heaven Character Number One Private Room, his lips curling into an extremely mocking arc.

Do you see that? You bumpkin!

This is the strength of me, Jin Buhuan! This is the financial power of my Baoguang Realm!

What do you have to compare with me?!

However, the Heaven Character Number One Private Room remained quiet, as if the person inside had already fallen asleep and hadn't seen his provocation at all.

This made Jin Buhuan feel like he had thrown another heavy punch into cotton; he was so frustrated that his Face twitched.

[Holy crap, is there something wrong with this guy?]

[Why does he keep looking at me with that gaze of a failed mating attempt? Does he have to come looking for a sense of presence from me? Isn't that just pathetic?]

Inside the private room, Su Chen watched Jin Buhuan downstairs, who was acting like a drama queen, and was utterly speechless.

He originally couldn't be bothered to deal with such an idiot, but this guy was simply too noisy, making his head ache.

Su Chen sighed in his heart.

Beside him, Hua Nongying looked at the "flowing fire spirit body marrow heart," the longing in her beautiful eyes almost impossible to hide. But seeing the exorbitant price of fifty million, it ultimately turned into a faint sigh, and her gaze dimmed.

Qian Duoduo was trembling with heartache, whispering calculations: "Fifty million... that could buy nearly half of the Xuanyuan Continent... this guy surnamed Jin is truly a spendthrift..."

Then, they saw Su Chen, who had been lounging lazily, slowly extend a fair and slender finger.

Under everyone's astonished gaze, Su Chen unhurriedly pressed the translucent crystal button in front of him.

The next second.

A lazy voice, sounding as if it might fall asleep at any moment, spread clearly and calmly throughout the auction house via the Amplification Formation.

"One hundred million."

"..."

In an instant, the whole world went silent.

Time seemed to stand still, and space seemed to freeze. In the auction hall, the blue smoke from the incense stick lit with "Nine Heavens Spirit-Concentrating Incense" eerily stagnated in mid-air.

*Clang!*

Someone's grip on their Spirit Jade Wine Cup slipped, and it shattered on the floor. The crisp sound was exceptionally piercing in the deathly silent environment.

Everyone's movements froze. Their eyes bulged, and their mouths hung open wide enough to fit a dragon egg; their expressions were truly a sight to behold.

Their brains collectively crashed at this moment, going completely blank, with nothing left but the sound of their own hearts thumping like war drums.

Was it an auditory hallucination? Or had that guy in the Heaven Character Number One Private Room gone mad?!

That was one hundred million Top-Grade Spirit Stones! Not one hundred million cabbages!

Doubling directly from fifty million to one hundred million?! Is that how you're supposed to bid?!

This isn't called bidding!

This is fucking crushing people with money!

Inside the private room, Qian Duoduo's chubby Face instantly lost all color. He suddenly clutched his chest, feeling the world spinning, and even breathing became difficult: "One... one hundred million... Your Highness the Divine Son... my heart... my heart is going to stop..."

The peach blossom fan in Hua Nongying's hand fell to the ground with a clack. Her soul-stealing fox-like eyes widened, completely forgetting to maintain her seductive poise, leaving only the purest state of daze and shock.

Even Jian Buping, who always had a cold Face, had his hand on his sword hilt tremble uncontrollably. His eyes were filled with confusion, as if he were questioning life itself.

On the stage, even the Purple Robe Marquis, who was used to seeing great storms, was petrified on the spot, his head buzzing.

His old Face turned the color of pig liver. He opened his mouth but found his throat seemed to be gripped by an invisible hand, unable to squeeze out a single word.

And as the focus of the entire room, Jin Buhuan was completely dumbfounded.

The smug smile on his Face froze at the corners of his mouth, looking incredibly comical. His wide-open mouth wouldn't close for a long time, and in his bulging eyes, there was only incomprehensible shock.

He felt as if an invisible palm had fiercely slapped him across the Face, leaving him dizzy and seeing stars, with his Dao Heart nearly shattering on the spot!

"You... are you crazy?!"

It took a full ten-plus seconds before Jin Buhuan snapped out of his extreme shock. He pointed toward the Heaven Character Number One Private Room and let out a heart-wrenching roar, his voice turning sharp and piercing due to agitation.

"That is just an Acquired spirit body marrow heart! It's worth thirty million at most!"

"One hundred million?! Has your brain been kicked by a donkey?!"

"Do you even have that much money?! I suspect your assets! I demand a verification of funds! I think you're just here to cause trouble!"

His voice was exasperated, filled with resentment and humiliation.

He couldn't accept it! He couldn't accept that he was being completely crushed by someone he viewed as a "bumpkin" in such a crude and unreasonable manner!

However, facing his hysterical questioning...

From the Heaven Character Number One Private Room, that lazy voice came once again.

The voice carried a hint of impatience from having a dream disturbed, along with a calmness that could drive someone to death with anger, as if it were merely speaking of a trivial matter.

"Oh, you think it's too little?"

Su Chen yawned and casually pressed the button again.

"Then two hundred million."
