CHAPTER 804: CHAPTER 493: FUSION ON THE SPOT (PART 2)

The number of Earth Magnetic People is not large, but they are not uncommon either.

However, this Earth Magnetic Person is definitely not to be trifled with because he is seated on the terrace of the VIP area, and he is a Shepherd Star Saint.

"Master Tian Chui."

Titanium Cobalt Qingshan’s expression instantly turned respectful as he greeted the Earth Magnetic Person.

Tian Chui remained motionless, like a statue, but an electromagnetic wave emanated from him, transforming into brainwave information as it spread to everyone present, containing only a brief "Hmm."

Upon seeing a Shepherd Star Saint place a bid, several mutants who were about to raise their paddles quickly withdrew.

But not everyone gave up.

"Distinguished Guest No. 766 offers 185,000."

Cang Hao announced.

Titanium Cobalt Lan raised the paddle again.

Others feared offending the Earth Magnetic Shepherd Star Saint, but the Titanium Cobalt Family was not afraid; it was just a public auction.

Titanium Cobalt Qingshan also raised the number plate, bidding up to 190,000 Dragon Crystals.

There was also a Sixth Rank Thunder Giant continuing to bid, Tian Chui was about to raise the floating number plate beside him, when Cang Hao suddenly announced: "Distinguished Guest No. 35012 offers 195,000."

This number was unfamiliar, being offered for the first time.

Everyone looked over and found it was a very unfamiliar Deserted Person, sitting alone on the terrace corresponding to the same number, located at the front. His appearance was ordinary and unremarkable, and his aura was restrained, making it impossible to sense whether he was an Electromagnetic Element mutant.

However, there was no rule that only Electromagnetic Element mutants could participate in the auction.

Cang Hao’s announcement was deemed valid.

This Deserted Person was actually Ji Xinghuo’s Shadow Clone.

Now was the right time to raise the paddle; if he waited until Tian Chui was close to winning the auction to bid, it would be a true slap in the face.

Sure enough, Ji Xinghuo sensed an electromagnetic wave sweep across his Shadow Clone. The originally immobile Tian Chui, who seemed as steady as a mountain, opened a slit at the eye position on his face, revealing a strand of strange gaze directed at the Shadow Clone.

Some Shepherd Star Saints were also scrutinizing.

"Shadow Clone."

Someone nodded slightly, realizing this Deserted Person was merely a Shadow Clone, and the mutants who heard it were all taken aback.

However, this did not violate the rules.

As long as the Canglong Family allowed it, and the financial power was validated, with a number plate obtained, even a clone could participate in the auction.

Many Shepherd Star Saints present had come only as clones, which did not affect the auction.

In fact, some did not even send their main body or a clone but instead dispatched a war pet to participate in the auction, which was a Meteor Level wolf war pet with black and white fur, sitting grandly on the terrace, behaving in a human-like manner. Every time it raised a paddle, it counted.

Tian Chui raised the number plate.

A voice sounded in people’s minds: "210,000."

He directly increased the price by 15,000 Dragon Crystals.

Titanium Cobalt Lan hesitated for a few seconds, then shook her head towards Titanium Cobalt Qingwei, spoke two sentences softly, and ceased to raise the paddle. This price had already far exceeded her expectations, and even winning the Alien Species would not be profitable.

Titanium Cobalt Qingshan was still contemplating.

Ji Xinghuo’s Shadow Clone raised the paddle again.

Cang Hao shouted: "Distinguished Guest No. 35012 offers 215,000."

This prompted Titanium Cobalt Qingshan to make a decision, seemingly making one last attempt, and raised the paddle resolutely.

"Distinguished Guest No. 1805 offers 220,000."

As soon as Cang Hao’s words fell, Tian Chui immediately raised the paddle, increasing the bid by another 5,000 Dragon Crystals.

Titanium Cobalt Qingshan looked helpless.

If it were other competitors, he might still use the prestige of the Titanium Cobalt Family to negotiate or sell face. However, facing a Shepherd Star Saint, he had no choice but to withdraw honestly.

Ji Xinghuo, however, had no doubts. After Tian Chui raised the paddle, the Shadow Clone promptly followed suit.

"230,000 Dragon Crystals!"

Tian Chui continued bidding.

"235,000."

"240,000."

"245,000."

The Shadow Clone and Tian Chui took turns raising the paddle, one after another, causing the price to rise alternately. The mutants’ heads turned in sync, and Cang Hao did not report the numbers, only announcing the current bid each time a paddle was raised.

Tian Chui called out 245,000, a price already close to Ji Xinghuo’s expected upper limit, with a fivefold premium, very uneconomical.

"The last paddle raise."

"If you continue to raise the price, the Alien Species will be yours."

Ji Xinghuo thought to himself, but the Shadow Clone’s actions were without hesitation, immediately raising the bidding paddle, with a determined attitude, seemingly ready to keep bidding, unconcerned even if it surpassed 300,000 Dragon Crystals.

"250,000!" Cang Hao shouted.

The mutants all turned their gaze towards Tian Chui; this Shepherd Star Saint’s bid was remarkably imposing, showing no signs of backing down.

For a Shepherd Star Saint, 250,000 Dragon Crystals is indeed no small amount, but definitely within their means.

Just when everyone thought Tian Chui was about to bid again, he didn’t raise the paddle.

"You win."

A voice echoed in everyone’s minds, in a calm and steady tone. Tian Chui didn’t show any anger, casually saying, "I originally intended to buy this Alien Species for research. If you want it so much, I won’t compete with you."

Although those were his words, everyone heard the underlying meaning; he thought the Alien Species was overpriced and not worth the bid.

Ji Xinghuo was also quite surprised.

"Winning bid of 250,000 Dragon Crystals, congratulations to distinguished guest number 35012!" Cang Hao announced loudly, the copper drum in the sky being struck by a Water Hammer, reverberating through the clouds.

Boom!

A team of Dragon Guards from the Canglong Family arrived on the terrace, and the Shadow Clone took out 25 Dragon Crystals from the Dimension Ring, each valued at 10,000 Ether Crystals.

Cang Hao raised his hand and shot the Alien Species towards the Shadow Clone, who caught it without a closer look and immediately stored it into the Dimension Ring.

The next auction item was presented, and the auction continued.

The Shadow Clone became quiet.

Some people noticed this unknown Deserted Person with considerable wealth, worth at least 250,000 Dragon Crystals, and directed some not-so-friendly gazes that occasionally swept over, but found the Shadow Clone’s aura was restrained and difficult to probe, preventing any reckless actions.

At the auction, even Shepherd Star Saints dare not act impulsively in the presence of many witnesses.

Ji Xinghuo remained still.

While watching the auction, he also secretly observed the entire venue, receiving several covert glances from Xukun Tianlin.

"Heh..."

Ji Xinghuo coldly chuckled to himself.

If he participated in the bidding or had Cang Ya bid, it would definitely draw Xukun Tianlin’s attention, causing interference, and possibly linking the bid on Magnetic Pole Potential Slash to his identity.

Time passed, and auction items were sold one after another.

The Shadow Clone didn’t raise the paddle, occasionally calling for someone to bring wine and snacks. Aside from a few attentive individuals, everyone’s focus was on those treasures valued at millions of Dragon Crystals, making the bidding scene very intense with no one paying attention to a Deserted Person.

Ji Xinghuo remained a spectator, not participating in any bidding.

Many hours later.

In the afternoon, Cang Ya instructed a servant to bring a batch of new food and drinks, and it wasn’t long before two servants arrived with them.

Cang Ya’s gaze swept over one of the servants but didn’t say anything.

Ji Xinghuo casually picked up a piece of pastry and put it in his mouth, then gave Cang Ya a knowing smile.

The Shadow Clone had obtained the Dimension Ring.

The servant just now was also one of his clones, having transferred the Dimension Ring stealthily over, containing the Dragon Crystals acquired from auctioning the Titanium Cobalt Dragon Body, as well as over a hundred thousand Ether Crystals.

There was also the Alien Species for Magnetic Pole Potential Slash.

Ji Xinghuo’s mind moved, and the Alien Species appeared in his palm, invisible to others. After sensing it for a few seconds, he decided to fuse immediately.

The fusion method for Magnetic Pole Potential Slash was simple, just integrate it into the body.

Exerting a little force.

As a wisp of Electromagnetic Star Power was injected, the hard Alien Species, like an electronic component, embedded into the flesh of the palm, melting rapidly like ice, transforming into a Strange energy that merged into the palm, integrating with the Electromagnetic Star Power.

The Alien Species flowed into the Magnetic Spirit Star Core, then released, traveling throughout the entire body.

Ji Xinghuo’s spirit surged.

Suddenly, he felt a change occurring in his consciousness; Electromagnetic Polarization was automatically activated, although not intensely. The Deception Mask easily concealed the leakage of his aura, appearing calm on the surface.

Electromagnetic Induction extended outward, sharpening Ji Xinghuo’s perception of the Star Realm Magnetic Field, initially enabling interference capability.

Ji Xinghuo understood.

This is a means of synchronizing one’s electromagnetic field and using external magnetic fields to enhance magnetic potential energy, unleashing ultra-high energy attacks!

As the Alien Energy was fully absorbed, Wanxiang Star Pupil’s information also updated.

[Ability: Magnetic Pole Potential Slash (First Level 1/1601)]

[Fusion Times: 3]

Meanwhile, due to the fusion of a new Ability, Star Power increased slightly.

Ji Xinghuo glanced around; the auction was still ongoing, but neither Cang Ya nor anyone else noticed his fusion of an Alien Species, so he immediately devoted Spiritual Origin Ability to upgrading Magnetic Pole Potential Slash.
