Chapter 343 Ch 343: Fierce Competition
Alex looked at Ceres who increased the bid. One after another, everyone from the three families called out their bids.
For a short period of time, no one bid for the Red Source Crystals. A smile appeared on Ceres's face. He thought that the Red Source Crystals now belonged to him, however, before he could be overjoyed for long, he heard someone bidding: "7 Million Top Grade Celestial Stones."
This sound came from Room No. 7. Ceres had no idea who called out this bid, but those who could enter the private room were all people with extraordinary status. His face stiffened and he wanted to say something, but he was stopped by the old man beside him.
Ceres could only give up on these five Red Source Crystals.
Everyone's heart pounded violently. The price of 7 million Top Grade Celestial Stones could be said to be too much. There was no doubt that it was a sky-high price.
At this time, the old man in private room No. 16 calmed down. He did not intend to bid anymore. In his eyes, no matter how miraculous these red stones are, spending 7 million Top Grade Celestial Stones to buy them was not worth it. He might as well go and rob the winner of this bid. He could secretly kill that person after the auction ended. At that time, the Red Source Crystals would still belong to him. And he had done a lot of such things.
On the other hand, the person in room no. 7 was confident that he would definitely win the bid for this treasure. His name was Shakeer and he came from outside the Heavenly Ice Domain.
He was also from Icy Sky Region, however, the force he belong to was located in a domain called Star Light Domain. And he was a personal disciple of the sect leader of Star Light Sect which is also the overlord force of Star Light Domain just like the Heavenly Ice Palace which is the overlord force of the Heavenly Ice Domain.
However, very soon, another voice echoed in the auction house.
"8 Million."
This sudden voice caused many people to be dumbstruck. Who was the one who increased the bid by so much? In an instant, it increased by one million Top Grade Celestial Stones.
"This sound came from Room No. 1. People from Heavenly Ice Palace are there. This bid is called by them."
"This is the first time they made a bid for something. It seems they are here only for these red stones. If not for these red stones, they would not have participated in the auction."
"The person who called out the bid just now seems to be a lady."
"Yes, you are right. She is Asna White, the successor disciple and next head of the Heavenly Ice Palace."
"So it's her. No wonder her bid is so high."
This price made many of the big shots in the private rooms tremble in fear. 7 million Top Grade Celestial Stones were not a small amount after all.
On the other hand, Alex's heart trembled when he heard this voice. He had dreamed of hearing this voice night and day, and finally, this day has come. An overjoyed expression appeared on his face and a smile bloomed on his face that mirrored the feeling of his heart.
Serena was surprised, and then she suddenly seemed to understand something.
Who knows what she thought, but she shook her head as the corner of her mouth curled up.
"8.5 Million."
Just like Asna, Shakeer's status was also very high. How could he give up on these crystals that caught his attention?
Asna: "9 Million."
"10 million."
Shakeer bid once again. This was the first time since the start of the auction that a bid of 10 million Top Grade Celestial Stones was called out.
"Ten million... The price of the auction item had finally broken the price of Ten million Top Grade Celestial Stones."
"These red crystals are something even the Heavenly Ice Palace wants. It's not surprising that its price has exceeded Ten million."
"Looks like Shakeer is determined to get this thing."
Everyone was in an uproar. Ten million was not a small amount.
The big shots in the private room frowned. From the looks of it, Shakeer and Asna were determined to fight for this thing.
In private room 7, Shakeer smiled. He was determined to get these Red Source Crystals. No matter who it was, no one could stop him. It is because he slightly had knowledge of what these crystals could be used for.
"10.5 million."
Just as Asna was about to call out another bid, a voice came from another private room, instantly attracting everyone's attention.
"This is private room number 5. Who's inside?"
"It's Pratham in private room number 5."
"Pratham?"
"I paid special attention to him when he was entering the auction house. I saw him walk into private room number five. Just like Lady Asna and Shakeer, Pratham is also from one of the overlord forces. The force he came from is called Frigid Snow Sect. This sect is located outside the Icy Sky Region, however, its strength is not any weaker than Heavenly Ice Palace or the Star Light Sect"
"So it's him. No wonder he was not afraid of Shakeer. "
"Shakeer, what should we do? Pratham is bidding for these crystals as well now."
In private room number 7, Shakeer's face was extremely gloomy. Others might not know Pratham, but he did. Pratham was the number one core disciple in Frigid Snow Sect, and just like Asna, he is also the next-in-line head of the Frigid Snow Sect.
Pratham's talent was very terrifying. He was the only young man in the Frigid Snow Sect who had broken through to the Initial Level of Divine Lord Stage at the age of a mere 32. With his talent and strength, he could almost be said to be one of the top figures in the entire Essence Sky World.
"Does he think I'm afraid of him?"
In terms of cultivation and strength, Shakeer really couldn't compare to Pratham. However, in the auction, it was a competition for wealth and not strength. In terms of wealth, he might not lose to Pratham.
"11 million."
In private room number 5, Pratham frowned. It looked like Shakeer was going to fight him to the end.
"12 million."
Everyone's heart twitched. 12 Million Top Grade Celestial Stones could be considered an extremely expensive price.
"Damn it."
Shakeer suddenly slammed the table in fury. He was prepared for Asna, but he did not expect someone like Pratham to pop out of nowhere and start competing with him for the Source Crystals.
"15 million."
Shakeer wanted to increase the bid, however, Asna was a step faster, calling out directly a bid of 15 million Top Grade Celestial Stones, increasing the bid by 2 million in an instant.
Shakeer's hand trembled. He took a deep breath, calmed his fury, and said: "20 million."
He wanted to see who would dare to call out another bid. He had increased the bid directly by 5 million celestial stones. This should be enough for everyone present to see his determination in obtaining the Red Source Crystals.
And indeed, after he called out this price, the entire auction house fell into a moment of silence. And the next second, a commotion broke out among people. No one expected the price of these five crystals to rise to the sky directly. 20 million Top Grade Celestial Stones was something that could only be possessed by top forces like the three great families and Overlord forces of the Essence Sky World.
As for others, they could only dream of possessing such great wealth.
Pratham did not back down. He only frowned a little but he also added another 5 million in his bid.
"25 million Top Grade Celestial Stones."
And from this period on, it was as if adding 5 million became a law. Asna also called out a bid of 30 million.
The Shakeer followed by Pratham and then Asna.
The fight for the Red Source Crystal continued.
Only when the price reached the mountain-like number of 50 million did the bid slowed down by the three forces. However, they still continued to increase the bid by one or two million at once.
Alex took a deep breath. He muttered in low voice: "I don't know who among you three will win the bid for these red source crystals, however, I am determined to obtain them. Even after winning against each other, you will never be able to win against me."
Then he looked at Room No. 1 and muttered again: "Asna, I'm sorry, but these crystals are very important to me. I'll take them first!"
As he spoke, for the first time, he called out his bid, directly shocking the entire crowd.
"100 Million Top Grade Celestial Stones."
At this time, no one dared to make a single noise in the auction house.
