ACSP: Chapter 161: Completing Ice Release Skills, Heaven-Defying Space-Time Ninjutsu!
"I didn't expect the first auction item of the day to be this..."
In the private room on the third floor, Jiang Chen stared at the skill books, feeling somewhat surprised.
Although he had long since activated the Ice Release Bloodline Limit, he did not possess any usable Ice Release skills.
Previously, when using Ice Release, he could only barely force the Chakra within his body to convert into Ice Release Chakra, releasing it and using the air as a medium to freeze it.
It was not only troublesome but also highly limited.
Originally, he had intended to ask Lei Li for a favor, to help him collect Ice Release skill books when he had time.
He hadn't expected to encounter this complete set of Ice Release skills here today.
"800 Silver Chests, this price isn't too expensive."
Jiang Chen picked up the bidding paddle on the coffee table, preparing to make a bid.
But just then.
Someone in a private room on the second floor had already stepped in with a bid of 1,000 Silver Chests.
This made him instantly frown.
The other party had shouted a bid 200 chests higher than the starting price right from the get-go.
It was obvious they were determined to get those Ice Release skill books.
If he continued to bid, the other party would very likely follow suit.
"Forget it, I won't waste time."
Jiang Chen pondered for a moment, then put down the paddle in his hand and turned to look at Luo Yuqing, who was standing to the side: "Please help me light the Heavenly Lamp."
"—Pfft!"
Cai Kun, who was drinking tea, suddenly spat out the tea he had just swallowed, spraying it all over Li Dala beside him.
"Damn it, what are you doing?"
Li Dala immediately jumped up from his seat, pointing at Cai Kun and cursing him out.
However, Cai Kun ignored him and looked at Jiang Chen in disbelief, exclaiming: "Holy crap, Jiang Chen, you're lighting the Heavenly Lamp right from the start?"
Jiang Chen smiled calmly: "I want those things; lighting the Heavenly Lamp will save some trouble."
Once these words were spoken, everyone else in the private room was stunned.
Lighting the Heavenly Lamp just to save trouble?
Big Brother, aren't you being a bit too wasteful?
"These Ice Release skills are only the first auction item; are you sure you want to light the Heavenly Lamp this early?"
Luo Yuqing was also somewhat surprised at this moment.
Others would usually try to bid a few times before lighting the Heavenly Lamp.
She hadn't expected this Jiang Chen to just light it directly.
Isn't he being too impatient?
She had been at the trading company for so long, and this was the first time she had seen someone light the Heavenly Lamp right from the start.
"Just light it."
Jiang Chen spoke lightly, his tone still calm, as if he were talking about a trivial matter.
Seeing this, Luo Yuqing couldn't say anything more.
She immediately walked forward, lit the Heavenly Lamp, and turned its light intensity to the maximum.
Instantly.
The entire auction venue erupted.
"Holy crap, someone lit the Heavenly Lamp."
"No way? This early?"
"Lighting the Heavenly Lamp on the first auction item, a big spender has made a move."
"I thought the person who added 200 Silver Chests was already impressive enough, but I didn't expect someone even more impressive to show up!"
"As expected of a big shot who can get on the third floor; they really have deep pockets."
...
In a private room on the second floor.
A man holding a folding fan frowned tightly after seeing someone on the third floor light the Heavenly Lamp.
"Damn it, is this guy on the third floor trying to go against me? Lighting the Heavenly Lamp right off the bat, is this something a human would do?"
Ye Hongtian muttered through gritted teeth, staring at the Heavenly Lamp on the third floor.
He was an administrator of a commercial street in the East District and held a vast amount of resources.
Originally, he had wanted to collect those Ice Release skill books as an investment to sell at a high price later.
He hadn't expected someone to compete with him for the business.
Ye Hongtian really wanted to increase the bid again.
But upon thinking of the other party's status on the third floor, he immediately gave up.
"Forget it, I won't compete with you this time. There are two other things I want in the auction; if you want these Ice Release skill books, take them."
...
As Jiang Chen lit the Heavenly Lamp, no one else in the venue dared to increase their bids.
In the end, Jiang Chen successfully won the bid for those Ice Release skill books as he wished.
It cost a total of 1,050 Silver Chests.
Before long, an attendant delivered those skill books to his private room.
Lei Li went up to pay the bill.
After receiving the skill books, Jiang Chen didn't shy away and crushed them one by one right in front of everyone.
"Congratulations on successfully learning [Ice Release: Demonic Mirroring Ice Crystals]!"
"Congratulations on successfully learning [Ice Release: One-Horned White Whale]!"
"Congratulations on successfully learning [Ice Release: Wolf Fang Avalanche]!"
"Congratulations..."
A series of notification sounds rang out.
Jiang Chen's skill bar was refreshed again, with many Ice Release skills added.
These skills could not be copied using the [Sharingan]!
"My goodness, you actually possess the Ice Release Bloodline Limit?"
Luo Yuqing said, covering her small mouth, her eyes filled with admiration.
"Duh, why would I buy these skill books if I didn't have Ice Release?"
Jiang Chen rolled his eyes at her in annoyance.
Seeing this, Luo Yuqing could only laugh awkwardly a few times.
And just as Jiang Chen was learning the Ice Release skills.
On the auction stage.
President Xia Qianning had already brought out the second auction item.
It was another scroll of skill books.
"Everyone, this skill book is named 'Heavenly Transfer Technique', it is a long-distance space-time teleportation technique!"
"The teleportation distance and location of this technique are unlimited."
"Theoretically, it can teleport to any location and does not limit the number of people."
"The only thing to note is that if this 'Heavenly Transfer Technique' is used to teleport living people, the person being teleported must have very strong physical fitness and recovery abilities; otherwise, it will cause serious injury or even death during the teleportation process."
"The starting price for this technique is 5,000 Silver Chests, and each bid increase cannot be less than 500!"
As soon as President Xia Qianning finished speaking, the venue erupted into an uproar again.
"Holy crap, this is a group teleportation technique!"
"Good heavens, why is this teleportation skill being released second? I thought it would be the grand finale item!"
"It seems the gold content of this auction is very high."
"No geographical restrictions, no number restrictions, isn't this teleportation skill too heaven-defying?"
"Yeah, if I learned this skill and teleported a bunch of explosive tags onto my enemy, wouldn't my enemy be blown to bits?"
"The only flaw of this skill is that the person being teleported needs very strong physical fitness, otherwise this is simply a divine space teleportation skill!"
...
In the third-floor private room.
Jiang Chen looked at the "Heavenly Transfer Technique" on the auction stage and began to ponder.
He had originally dismissed this teleportation skill.
But sometimes, circumstances often change with time.
He was now the leader of a guild, and he controlled the special secret realm in the Temple of the Evil God that could activate the "Immortal Body".
In the future, the people in his guild would certainly all be high-level Contractors who possessed an "Immortal Body".
And this "Heavenly Transfer Technique" was practically a group teleportation skill tailor-made for him.
Just imagine it.
If their guild were to have any large-scale operations in the future.
He could simply have someone use this "Heavenly Transfer Technique" to deploy a group of people there.
A sudden, overwhelming arrival of troops would definitely catch others off guard!
