The auction continued!
After talking for so long, Zhou Chen was also a little thirsty. He asked Sarth to bring a cup of tea and drink it. Then, he cleared his throat and spoke again.
"I'm very happy that everyone has come to support us. The second auction item has already ended, and now it's time for the third auction item. This auction item is completely different from the previous two items, and to some people, its value far exceeds the previous two. However, in order to let everyone understand this auction item better, I need to communicate with everyone first. I just hope that everyone won't find me useless. Thank you, everyone.”
"If you have anything to say, say it quickly. The first two auction items are not bad. I believe that the next one will be even better.”
White Beard said to Zhou Chen.
Zhou Chen cupped his hands at the private room and thanked him."Thank you, Senior White Beard. Speaking of which, I personally admire you very much. You can be considered my idol. If it weren't for the fact that I have my own foundation, I might have gone to seek refuge with you.”
"That's a pity. However, if you still have such thoughts, I'll welcome you with both hands.”
The white-bearded man did not expect Zhou Chen to actually talk to him and even say words of admiration. This made him very happy. Of all the big shots present, only he said this. One could imagine how comfortable this made him.
However, Zhou Chen said regretfully,"Forget it, because after this auction ends, I'll definitely become someone that the World Government wants to get rid of. Joining your pirate group won't help you, but will also harm you.”
" Hahaha!" White Beard laughed." Since when do I need to be afraid of the World Government?" However, I think you just don't have the intention to do so. That's why you used this as an excuse.”
"Hehe, Senior is indeed Senior. You saw through my thoughts at a glance.”Zhou Chen replied with a smile.
"Are you done with your nonsense? We didn't come here to listen to your nonsense. Let's get down to business.”
White Beard and Zhou Chen's casual chat attracted the displeasure of many people. This was an auction, not a place for them to brag.
"I'm really sorry. I went off topic. Alright, let's get back to the topic. I'll show everyone this auction item first and then ask everyone a question.”
The Snow Fruit had been removed, and a tray was brought up again, but it was a little bigger than the previous one.
Zhou Chen suddenly removed the red cloth covering the tray. In an instant, an incomparably terrifying aura swept through the entire auction house. Even the expressions of the experts sitting in the private rooms changed drastically. Many people even stood up in shock.
"What is this?"
Many people lost their composure and roared, staring at the broken blade on the tray with wide eyes.
"Saber?"
Zhou Chen pointed at the broken blade on the tray and said,"Everyone should have sensed this aura, right?”
"What exactly is this thing?"
The first person to speak was the person in Room 9. There was only one person in this room, and that was Hawkeye, who would be known as the world's greatest sword master in the future. As a swordsman, he felt a powerful sword aura from this broken blade, and it seemed to be completely different from the sword path he had cultivated for many years.
Since someone had asked, the others naturally did not ask anymore. However, they all stared at Zhou Chen, waiting for his explanation. It had to be known that when he lifted the red cloth, the violent aura made everyone feel a huge threat, as if the most terrifying thing was about to erupt.
Zhou Chen was very satisfied with everyone's reaction. This was the effect he wanted. He pointed at the broken blade and explained,"As everyone can see, this is a broken blade. However, the difference is that there is a trace of sword intent on this broken blade. This is also the problem I mentioned just now. Many of you use swords, but do you know what sword intent is?”
"Sword intent? What's that?"
There was no such thing as sword intent in the pirate world, so even Shanks and Hawkeye, who were the strongest among these saber experts, did not know what sword intent was. However, when they heard Zhou Chen say this term, something seemed to have opened up in their hearts. That mysterious feeling made them very confused and helpless.
"Sword intent is the will of the sword, just like the will of a human.”
"Will of the sword? " What nonsense are you spouting? Swords are non-living things. How can they have a will like humans? Kid, even if you're spouting nonsense, you have to find a better excuse. Don't spout nonsense here to confuse the public."”
As soon as Zhou Chen finished speaking, someone reprimanded him in dissatisfaction. These words were what everyone was thinking. How could a sword have consciousness like a human?
"This gentleman's words are a little too absolute. Everything in the world has spirituality, it's just a difference in strength.”
Zhou Chen retorted indifferently and continued,"In the world we live in, people who use swords are divided into three levels: Swordsman, Sword Hero, and Great Sword Hero. However, I want to tell you that this is completely wrong. We found this broken blade in an ancient tomb. The history of the ancient tomb is at least thousands of years old. It was in that ancient tomb that we found out how ignorant we were. Haha, what a joke."
"What do you mean? Wasn't the Great Sword Hero at the highest level of the sword path? And what tomb are you talking about? How can we believe it?”Someone retorted.
"It has nothing to do with me whether you believe me or not. I just want to tell you what I know. I believe that there are still people who are willing to listen to me. Of course, if anyone doesn't believe me, just treat what I'm about to say as nonsense.”
Although Zhou Chen was talking nonsense, he had actually made it up himself. No, it could not be said to be nonsense. It was based on the various martial arts, fantasy, and Xianxia novels he had read before transmigrating. In the past, he had thought that it was fake, but now that he had transmigrated, he even had the system, and even this broken blade had appeared, what was impossible?
