The auctioneer boasted for a moment and then started counting seconds after seeing no one raise the price. In the end, Xiao Jiang bought the stone with a hundred high-grade Yuan Jing. When the money was settled, Xiao Jiang put the stone away. He felt that his soul was fused with something.
A breath of life.
Let the ethereal heart realize it by itself. Xiao Jiang was already laughing wildly in his heart. No one was competing with him. This was the most satisfying thing. He got such a big reward for one hundred high-grade Yuanjing, and it was the third triggering task. This was very important to him.
Speaking of which, it is simply more fun than pie falling from the sky.
However, Xiao Jiang is not the young man he once was. He accidentally triggered and completed a task, but he still calmly continued to watch the excitement.
"This thing feels so familiar, what's going on?"
The woman on the side was still playing with cigarettes and muttering in her mouth. Xiao Jiang glanced at the woman and smiled:
"Maybe you smoked it in your previous life."
The woman's hand trembled slightly. In this world, time-travelers, rebirths, reincarnations, etc. are all normal, because various small planes exist, and the universe is so vast that all existences are normal.
When Xiao Jiang talked about his previous life, the woman seemed to have thought of something, but in the blink of an eye she seemed to have thought of nothing at all.
The auction house was still auctioning items one by one, but the woman was holding a cigarette and thinking about it. After almost an hour, the auction skills had ended. The woman suddenly raised her head and looked at Xiao Jiang and said:
"You are also a contestant. What sect do you belong to?"
Xiao Jiang smiled. Every player will have a number plate, but it will not be marked with any martial arts. The woman also has a number plate, but it is a little different from Xiao Jiang's, that is, there is no number on the back.
Xiao Jiang had seen him before, but he didn't want to reveal his identity. He smiled and said:
"Lingtian Sect Xiao Jiang."
The woman was stunned for a moment. She had heard this name before, because the investigators also identified him as a threat to her. She looked at Xiao Jiang with a pair of eyes like black jade and said:
"I heard that your opponents are always defeated in one move. Although they are all fourth- and fifth-level Martial Kings, it also means that you are very strong. In your opinion, am I your opponent?"
Xiao Jiang grinned and said:
"I guess it will make you depressed, because this time the number one is mine. Although your strength is very high, in my eyes you are really not qualified to truly fight with me."
The woman's eyes were filled with astonishment. She didn't expect Xiao Jiang to speak so wildly, but she saw a sense of loneliness in Xiao Jiang's eyes, a loneliness that truly belonged to invincibility.
Feeling dazed for a while, the woman nodded and said:
"I also hope what you said is true. It is really boring to have no opponent. If you can fight with me, I will let you know that my opponent will not take three moves from me.
By the way, my name is Audrey. When I was born, my mother said that it was the name of God that I carried with me. I am looking forward to fighting with you."
Xiao Jiang smiled and said:
"I will definitely satisfy you, but I also hope that you can stand on the final stage and fight me."
Audrey's eyes showed a trace of happiness, she nodded and said:
"Okay, we have made an agreement. When the time comes, we will fight with all our strength to see who admits defeat first. No matter what the outcome is, you will be my friend."
Xiao Jiang rarely smiled happily. For so long, he had very few friends among his peers. Even Liu Hongye followed him for the sake of detachment. But my friend, Xiao Jiang has been through so many worlds and he really hasn’t known anyone.
True friend.
"Okay, no matter what the outcome is, I recognize you as my friend."
Xiao Jiang said seriously, and a sweet smile appeared in Audrey's eyes. At this moment, Xiao Jiang felt a hint of murderous intent. He turned slightly and looked sideways. At the entrance of the auction house, a man who also wore a name tag with no number appeared.
The man stared at himself as if he were a dead man.
"Po Ji'an...why does this guy have the intention to kill me? If he doesn't know my depth in terms of strength, and if he has a grudge against me and the Zhenyi Sect that is even more incompatible, then there is only one possibility."
Xiao Jiang thought for a moment and turned around. Audrey also noticed something was wrong. She glanced coldly at the poor Ji'an and said to Xiao Jiang:
"This guy's mind is not right, and he seems to be practicing evil techniques. If you meet him, pay attention to his attack on the mind, but I don't know the details.
Also, he sent someone to propose marriage to me three years ago, but my master and grand master scolded him back. But this guy is a bit shameless. He spreads the word outside, and this time he will definitely defeat me and make the Zhenyi Sect become the first.
When the time comes, he will propose marriage as the first sect’s holy son.”
"Oh, no wonder no wonder..."
Xiao Jiang understood that Audrey didn't give this guy a good look, but now she was talking and laughing with him. He had a number plate, so he was a nobody in his eyes.
Xiao Jiang does not want to cause trouble, but he will never be afraid of others making trouble. In the competition, there is no limit on killing. If he is unhappy in his life, Xiao Jiang can satisfy him.
Po Ji'an turned and left, Xiao Jiang said with a face:
"The day after tomorrow we'll start the battle in groups. Let's see which group I'm in this time. It would be great if I could be in a big group with this bastard."
Audrey smiled, then she paused for a few seconds and whispered:
"My master asked me to go back, Xiao Jiang. We will talk after the game."
Xiao Jiang waved his hand. After Audrey left, he didn't see anything interesting and planned to turn around.
Not far away, Xiao Jiang heard another burst of commotion. When he went over, he saw that someone was betting in front of a building, betting on the results of various competitions in this competition.
There are many types of this kind of bets, such as prediction of the top ten rankings, such as whether so-and-so will win or lose against so-and-so, how long, how many millions, and there are many different rankings.
However, since the competition has not started yet, the only prediction here is who will be in the top ten. Xiao Jiang looked at it for a while, and his name was actually among them. It should mean that there are strong people from the top fifty forces.
The power mark at the opening is Tianyi, which means that no matter how many crystals you win, they will not default on your money, and the minimum bet is one hundred low-level spiritual crystals with no limit.
Among the betting odds for the first place, Audrey, Lei Guang, and Po Ji'an all pay one point to one, which means you earn ten for a hundred bets. From then on, the odds began to change.
There were ten people paying 1.51 to 2. Looking all the way down, he saw No. 75, which was Xiao Jiang's own odds. He couldn't help laughing when he saw it.
The odds are one hundred and fifty, and so far no one has bought themselves to win the first place. The odds are exactly the same as those of the people at the back who have not placed bets.
Xiao Jiang walked to the betting window, and a round-faced girl inside greeted him with a smile:
"Do you want to place a bet? Start placing your bets today. The settlement will not be settled until the end of the game three days later. I don't know who you want to buy? How much do you want to buy?"
