163: Go, Ironhide Dog

Immediately, the heavy red curtains slowly parted once more. This time, the person who stepped out was actually You Wu, dressed in a "Trainer Uniform."

Under the gaze of countless eyes, You Wu unhurriedly raised his right hand.

A sphere emitting a dark glow gradually materialized in his palm—a Nether Beast Ball!!!

“Go, Iron-Haired Dog.” With a wave of his arm, the Nether Beast Ball shot out like an arrow from a bow.

However, just as it was about to hit the ground, a dazzling white light flashed suddenly, and the sphere was bounced back by an invisible force.

Immediately following that, a Rank Two Iron-Haired Dog lunged out from inside the sphere.

The Iron-Haired Dog had a lithe and powerful build; as soon as it appeared, it entered a combat state—its body was covered in a thick layer of armor that shimmered with a heart-palpitating cold light.

Then, it opened its bloody maw, and a mass of blazing Beast Flame gushed out, illuminating the entire venue.

“Moving target!!!”

“Go! Iron-Haired Dog,” You Wu said, acting cool.

Several *sizzle* sounds rang out.

Like a violent storm, the Iron-Haired Dog charged fiercely toward the distant target. In the blink of an eye, it slammed the moving target to the ground and let out a deafening Roar.

Seeing that everyone seemed a bit awkward and at a loss by Brother Wu's performance, You Pan quickly stepped forward to save the situation: “Everyone, please do not worry. This is a recently and meticulously developed item from the Underworld—the Nether Beast Ball.”

“This ball is crafted based on the principles of the Beast Taming Bracelet; it can freely change size, making it convenient to carry around. Moreover, one can easily carry a powerful Nether Beast without needing to practice complex Beast Taming Techniques.”

“It is truly an essential tool for home travel and wandering the martial world!”

“Currently, for only fifty thousand incense offerings, you can obtain one Rank One Iron-Haired Dog; for three hundred thousand incense offerings, you can possess an elite Rank Two Iron-Haired Dog.”

Iron-Haired Dog (Rank One): A Nether Beast of the Netherworld. It pounces on prey with teeth wrapped in violently burning Beast Flame. Despite its large size, it can toy with opponents with agile feints, its movements resembling a dance.

“Of course! The contract we establish is an equality contract. I believe no one here would dare to mistreat these cute and powerful Iron-Haired Dogs, right?”

You Pan said with a faint smile on his face, half-jokingly.

As soon as he finished speaking, a burst of whispering immediately broke out at the scene.

People leaned in to talk to one another, their gazes shifting toward the Nether Beast Balls on the tray.

Hearing You Pan's detailed introduction of the Iron-Haired Dog, ripples of excitement couldn't help but stir in everyone's hearts.

To be able to possess a Nether Beast as a companion in such a simple way was an irresistible temptation for cultivators.

Especially for those Alchemy Cultivators, this was undoubtedly an excellent opportunity to increase their strength.

In the crowd, Yun Song seemed particularly excited.

He tightly grabbed the sleeve of Xuan Wei beside him, shaking it constantly while pleading urgently: “Master, Master, Master... Look how majestic this Iron-Haired Dog is! I really want to have one. Please buy one for me, okay?”

Seeing his disciple’s expression as he acted cute, Xuan Wei's heart softened. He carefully examined the Iron-Haired Dog on the stage—finding its strength impressive, not only was its appearance fierce, but judging by the aura it emitted, its combat ability was likely quite considerable as well.

[It should feel pretty good to the touch!]

Thus, Xuan Wei smiled and nodded, responding: “Fine, fine, fine. Since you like them so much, let’s buy three. One Rank One, and two Rank Twos.”

“Hmm... your Martial Uncle should probably like them quite a bit too.”

“Thanks for the offer, but you two really are a pair of old kids.” Yun Song complained internally.

Tang Tang pinched the corner of her clothes. “Miss Dao Ke, is there a limit on how many Iron-Haired Dogs each person can purchase at the auction?”

“For instance, is there a regulation that each person can only buy a certain number?”

Hearing this, Dao Ke swayed her slender waist and walked over gracefully. “There are no purchase limit rules. However, please note that the number of Iron-Haired Dogs for sale this time is limited. There are only 1,000 Rank One Iron-Haired Dogs in total, and even fewer Rank Twos—only 100.”

“So, if you want to buy them, you’d better hurry~”

...At that moment, You Pan suddenly received data transmitted from Lord Prefectural City God.

He took a deep breath and then shouted in a clear, loud voice: “VIP Room 13, 140 Rank One Iron-Haired Dogs, seven Rank Two Iron-Haired Dogs; VIP Room 7, 210 Rank One Iron-Haired Dogs, 12 Rank Two Iron-Haired Dogs; VIP Room 1, 350 Rank One Iron-Haired Dogs, 16 Rank Two Iron-Haired Dogs...”

Hearing these numbers, the people present couldn't help but let out gasps of amazement. Especially when You Pan followed up by saying: “Oh! My god! VIP Room 13 has actually increased their amount again—adding 4 Rank Two Iron-Haired Dogs.”

“This is simply unbelievable; it’s truly shocking.”

However, VIP Room 1 was clearly not to be outdone.

“Add... 6 more!” You Lin lay on the sofa, drinking spiritual tea while enjoying Lilith's massage.

“Alright, darling.” A flush of red flashed across Lilith's face as she pressed the button.

You Pan's voice rang out once more: “VIP Room 1 is also not falling behind; they have followed up by adding 6 Rank Two Iron-Haired Dogs!”

At this moment, the atmosphere on-site became increasingly tense. Everyone stared intently at You Pan on the stage, anticipating the next increase... although those in the VIP rooms didn't need to participate in the bidding by shouting like the general public.

But from the moment You Pan, out of excitement, began to loudly announce the increasing data one by one, everyone could still deeply feel the intensity of this competition.

The entire auction venue seemed to have become a solo show for You Pan and Dao Ke, their voices echoing in the spacious hall.

“260 Rank Ones remaining, 26 Rank Twos remaining.”

“168 Rank Ones remaining, 14 Rank Twos remaining.”

“58 Rank Ones remaining, 4 Rank Twos remaining.”

...As the announcements of increases came one after another, the competition gradually entered a white-hot stage.

Finally, when Dao Ke heavily struck the auction hammer in her hand, everything was settled.

“Sold!” she announced loudly.

In the next moment, thunderous applause erupted throughout the venue.

He smiled slightly and said: “I hereby announce that this auction has come to an end. Everyone, please leave in order. Buyers, please wait a moment; we will conduct the transactions shortly.”
