Martial Master

In a moment, the scene fell into silence.

In the four-star private box below, Zhu Hongjun's face was dark as he said to Zhu Hongzhi in a low voice, "Big brother, this kid actually wants to bid for the Heavenly Remnant Armor. He must be afraid of us taking action against him, so he's buying it for self-defense. What should we do now?"

"This Heavenly Remnant Armor cannot fall into this kid's hands." Zhu Hongzhi's voice was icy.

After a brief silence in the venue, a cold voice suddenly rang out, "One million six hundred thousand!"

It was the head of the Zhu family, Zhu Hongzhi.

The crowd immediately erupted in commotion.

As one of the four major powers in Wu City, many people recognized him. Moreover, there were only a few forces capable of entering the four-star private box, so how could anyone fail to notice?

With the conflict between the Alchemy Pavilion and Liu Pavilion in mind, the crowd's hearts suddenly stirred: it seems there's going to be a good show.

Qin Chen smiled. He had offered one million five hundred thousand, not expecting to actually win the Heavenly Remnant Armor with that amount. After all, a fifth-tier armor wasn't something one could just come by. Even peak-level martial artists at the Mystic Level would surely be tempted.

"Two million!"

Without hesitation, Qin Chen raised the bid by four hundred thousand, increasing it from one million six hundred thousand.

Ten thousand, ten thousand increases were not his style.

The crowd gasped, "He actually raised it by four hundred thousand directly!"

"Rich and bold, indeed, rich and bold."

Almost everyone turned their gazes or senses towards Qin Chen's private box. Although his box was the highest grade with powerful restrictions outside, it didn't hinder the excitement of the martial artists present who wanted to catch a glimpse of Qin Chen's true form.

Though the five-star box of the Tianxing Chamber of Commerce had strong restrictions, it wasn't unsolvable. Qin Chen immediately felt a cold aura sweep over his body.

His heart sank as he recognized it was the cloaked figure from the thirty-number VIP room.

That person could silently penetrate the five-star box's restrictions, indicating that their spiritual power was exceptionally fearsome as well.

To avoid attracting the other's attention, Qin Chen pretended not to notice the probing and displayed a smug expression.

After sweeping twice with that cold aura, it quickly retreated.

What is this person's goal? Qin Chen's heart was heavy, unable to understand.

"Two million one hundred thousand."

Another cold voice came, this time from another private room.

It was the head of the Song family, Song Zhe.

It seemed the Song family head was also determined to obtain this Heavenly Remnant Armor.

"Two million two hundred thousand."

A sharp voice rang out again.

It was the head of the Wu Xiu Mansion, Wu Lengfan.

At this point, the crowd was speechless. Except for the Tianxing Chamber of Commerce, the other three major powers had all joined the bidding.

It was clear they were determined to compete.

"Two million three hundred thousand."

"Two million three hundred fifty thousand."

"Two million four hundred thousand."

The three major forces, the Song family, Wu Xiu Mansion, and the Zhu family, quickly raised their bids.

They all understood that the reason the major powers in Wu City could coexist harmoniously was that the gap in strength between them wasn't very large.

However, if this Heavenly Remnant Armor fell into the hands of one of these three major forces, that power's top expert would undoubtedly surpass one of the others present, thereby breaking the balance between them.

Although it wouldn't affect the larger situation, it would create a power disparity on a smaller scale.

This was something they all wished to avoid.

Seeing this scene, everyone present was dumbfounded.

"Three million."

Just as everyone was shocked, Qin Chen made another bid, directly raising it to three million.

The venue fell silent again, with all eyes turned in astonishment towards Qin Chen.

Is this a joke? He suddenly jumped to three million. Does this guy have a problem?
