Urban Powerhouse: Chaos Supreme

”Martial Arts Laws are different from Magic Laws. Magic Laws like ’Metal, Wood, Water, Fire, Earth’, Thunder, Light, Dark, even Time and Space, can be perceived in the universe, whereas Martial Arts Laws must be realized by the Martial Artist themselves.

Belonging to themselves...”

Meng Qingge slowly explained. ”For example, after entering the Spirit Martial Realm, one can use True Yuan to outline their own Martial Arts, exhibiting the true formidable power of a Martial Artist. This Unscrupulous Green Fruit actually only has an auxiliary role. To comprehend Martial Arts Laws and perfect one’s own Martial Arts Laws,

it still relies on the Martial Artist’s own cultivation. However, even so, this Unscrupulous Green Fruit is highly valuable.”

Lin Mo sighed in his heart, thinking that indeed people cannot be compared. Even a cultivator with relatively poor talent can become a master if the family provides heavy Magic Treasures and Cultivation Resources.

Eventually, the Unscrupulous Green Essence Fruit was auctioned for sixteen thousand soul coins.

With the auction of the Unscrupulous Green Fruit concluded, Lin Mo’s heart began to race, as the upcoming auction item was his target—Thunder Fruit. ”Alright, the next item is also extremely important for Martial Artists. It is a naturally formed treasure in the universe, named Thunder Fruit, which I believe everyone should be familiar with,” the old man said with a smile, then his two fingers aligned like a sword cut gently, and in front, thunder arcs suddenly jumped, a golden Thunderball appeared in everyone’s eyes.

The appearance of this Thunder Fruit caused Lin Mo’s already excited heart to pound violently, his pupils slightly contracted. A Thunderball approximately the size of an apple emitted gold electric arcs, radiant and dazzling.

”Thunder Fruit, after a Martial Artist swallows it, they can rapidly strengthen their body. The starting price is three thousand soul coins,” the old man said with a smile.

”Five thousand soul coins!”

”Six thousand soul coins!”

”I offer seven thousand soul coins...” All of a sudden, the bidding voices rang out incessantly. At least for Martial Artists, this Thunder Fruit is quite important as it can greatly shorten the time needed for cultivation. But when the price reached eight thousand soul coins, the bidding voices suddenly weakened.

Although Thunder Fruit is precious, Martial Artists can enhance their physique in many ways. Compared to the previously auctioned Unscrupulous Green Fruit, Thunder Fruit is clearly less rare, with the price hovering around eight to nine thousand soul coins.

”Ten thousand soul coins!”

In the box, Lin Mo said plainly, his voice spreading through the auction center’s array via True Yuan.

”Very good, ten thousand soul coins. Is there any higher bid?” the old man said with a slight smile.

For others, this Thunder Fruit might be dispensable, but for Lin Mo, it was extremely precious and necessary. With the aid of Thunder Fruit, he could enhance the strength of his body and drastically shorten the time needed to condense the tenth Star Power. Once the tenth Star Power is successfully condensed and he learns the second map of the Star Wheel Universe Map, his strength increase will be enough to astonish anyone, even when facing Mu Tianlong or Duanmu Jinglin, Lin Mo has the confidence to crush them.

Gazing at the Thunder Fruit floating in the air, Lin Mo was in high spirits, yet his heart was also in his throat. At this moment, his greatest fear was someone raising the bid further, which would require even more soul coins.

Though currently ’wealthy’, without a continuous source of income, Lin Mo understood every soul coin spent meant one less to use. Acquiring the Thunder Fruit at a fitting price would be optimal.

”Twelve thousand soul coins!”

As expected, his worry finally materialized as a faint voice suddenly sounded after a brief silence.

”Someone bid twelve thousand soul coins!” the old man chuckled, his smile indicating the Thunder Fruit sold for a handsome price.

Many present wore expressions of astonishment. Buying Thunder Fruit for ten thousand soul coins was considered good, but twelve thousand was far above its intrinsic value.

As everyone grew puzzled, they simultaneously reached out with Divine Thought to the origin of the voice, and all unanimously fell silent.

”Damn it, it’s someone from the Duanmu Family...” Meng Ziling frowned, noticing the box position of the bidder, and angrily said, ”They’re deliberately trying to make things difficult for Mr. Lin.”

Lin Mo naturally also identified the competitor as Duanmu Bo, whom he had clashed with on the streets yesterday.

”Twenty thousand soul coins!”

At that moment, Lin Mo calmly announced, since Duanmu Bo wants to contend with him, twenty thousand soul coins would hurt Duanmu Bo’s Primordial Energy enough, and even if Duanmu Bo gave up, it would just mean spending a bit more soul coins for the Thunder Fruit.

After all, Thunder Fruit is exceptionally precious to Lin Mo, sufficient to increase the speed of condensing Star Power several times over. Thus, a significant increase in strength, spending more soul coins would be acceptable.

”Third young master, I didn’t expect Lin Mo to actually have twenty thousand soul coins, looks like this Thunder Fruit is very important to him!” a middle-aged man in a robe gradually said. In another luxuriously decorated booth, Duanmu Bo let a cold smile curl his lips, ”I haven’t settled scores with him from yesterday. Today, I’m determined to make him fall hard. Judging by my calculation, he likely has about fifty thousand soul

coins. Keep bidding, make him pay more.”

”Yes, third young master.”

”Twenty-five thousand soul coins...”

The bidding voices erupted again, and even the old man responsible for the auction couldn’t help but be taken aback; twenty thousand far exceeded Thunder Fruit’s value. Even with money to spare, things shouldn’t be bought this way. It’s clearly a rivalry.

Of course, such occurrences were not rare for the old man. On the contrary, he enjoyed seeing this unfriendly competition.

The auction now fell silent, everyone evidently understood there was a significant grievance between the two bidders, maliciously pushing the price up.

”Mr. Lin, what should we do now?” Liu Yiyi asked, frowning. She hadn’t expected Lin Mo to actually have assets of twenty thousand soul coins, but continuing to push seems clearly not a match for the Duanmu Family.

Meng Qingge looked at Lin Mo and said, ”If you need soul coins, I can lend them to you.”

”No need. Continuing to bid will only deplete more soul coins. I’ll let Duanmu Bo have the Thunder Fruit,” Lin Mo said as he squinted slightly. This bid, even if Meng Qingge was willing to lend him soul coins, would undoubtedly lead to substantial losses. Better to take a small loss now by letting Duanmu Bo overpay the Thunder Fruit, increasing body strength even without the Thunder Fruit through other means also enhances the speed of Star Power

condensation.

Seeing no further bids, the old man hesitated momentarily, then said with a smile, ”Congratulations Mr. Duanmu, for acquiring the Thunder Fruit!” In the box, Duanmu Bo’s face suddenly changed; purchasing a Thunder Fruit valued at eight thousand for twenty-five thousand soul coins was a considerable loss. Despite being a descendant of the Duanmu Family, it’s still a substantial expenditure for him. ”That bastard gave up?” Duanmu Bo clenched his hand, the cup in his palm shattered abruptly, he simply couldn’t have anticipated Lin Mo actually didn’t have enough funds to compete.
