Chapter 1746
Alba let out a sigh of relief on the inside.
She turned to close the door and then sat down next to the two.
“Grandpa Val, Master David, what are you talking about?” Alba was curious
“It’s nothing. Mr. Valerio asked me here to talk about some domestic trivia. Right, Miss Fellowes, is the auction over After David answered the question, he asked again.
“Yes, it’s over. The bidding process for the final few items went smoothly and it was not as exciting as your bidding against Archimedes. Master David, you’ve started something new. You’ll be written into the history of auctions.”
“Stop mocking me, Miss Fellowes. I know what I’ve done. I think everyone is mocking me now. However, Archimedes is still too weak to climb over my head, I can’t stand him considering himself the top dog in the world.”
“Don’t misunderstand, Master David, I’m not trying to mock you,” Alba quickly explained.
“It’s fine. I never care about what people think of me. It’s none of my business what other people think or say about me. I just need to do my own thing.” David said indifferently
“You have such a good attitude, David. No wonder you have such great achievements at such a young age,” Valerio praised.
Judging from how Alba treated David, Valerio was almost sure that this young man was related to the opportunity Alba mentioned.
Moreover, David was so calm after offending Archimedes. He was not worried about the Lightfoot family seeking revenge against him and even a partial Saint like Valerio could not see through him,
Valerio was sure that David was not a simple person.
“Who’s his master?
‘Could it be
“Mr. Valerio, Miss Fellowes, the auction is over, so can we complete the transaction?” David asked expectantly.
“Since you’ve said that, you must be impatient to see your treasures. Please wait, I’ll ask the staff to send you your treasures now,” Valerio said.
Thank you, Mr. Valerio. Even though I bid on the Hammer of Thunder because I was fighting Archimedes, I do like that mid-level Soulbound Weapon a lot. It’s not easy to come across something I like. You can’t get something like that no matter how much you pay for it. To be honest, the Hammer of Thunder is more important than a high-level Soulbound Weapon”
“I never expected you to be so temperamental and bold to pay such a high price for something you like. To be honest, I wouldn’t even dare to be as wilful as you as the head of Treasure Trove.”
After Valerio gave out the order, the staff of Treasure Trove brought the four treasures David bid into the room not long after.
David did not pay attention to what the previous three items were. He only figured that the price was right, and that the price was much higher than what was sold in the first phase, so he bid on them.
The three items cost 298 billion, so each of them was less than 100 billion on average.
The price of the fourth item, the Hammer of Thunder, skyrocketed to 11 trillion Star Dollars.
The four items totaled 11 trillion 298 billion.
The four items were laid on the table inside the room.
“David, please check if these are the treasures you had bid on,” Valerio looked at David and asked.
“I don’t need to, Mr. Valerio Treasure Trove is one of the top five trading companies, so I believe your won’t do anything to ruin your reputation. Plus, I’m friends with Miss Fellowes. Even if I don’t trust you, I trust her to not lie to me,” David said excitedly.
He was finally going to get the lavish points.
He could taste Saint Realm and David was ecstatic.
Valerio saw his expression and was confused.
Why is he so excited about a mid-level Soulbound Weapon with his identity?
‘Even if he likes the Hammer of Thunder, he doesn’t need to be so excited, right?”
However, Valerio did not perform an in-depth investigation.
“If that’s the case, let’s complete the transaction. David, please transfer the money to Treasure Trove’s public account. After you’re done, they’re yours.”
“Okay,” David answered quickly
He used the system to transfer 11 trillion 298 billion Star Dollars to Treasure Trove’s public account.
The transaction was completed in a blink of an eye
“You’re such a straightforward person, David. They are now yours,” Valerio said with a grin.
Even though he knew David would not bid for fun, Valerio could not help lamenting when he saw the money arriving in the account.
‘This kid is so f*cking loaded.
Judging from his performance, he definitely has more than 11 trillion.”
Chapter 1747
After the transaction, David took his four treasures and bid farewell to Alba and Valerio.
He did not have time to check his system, so he did not know if he had gotten the lavish points.
If the Hammer of Thunder was worth more than 11 trillion Star Dollars, he would surely get all of the lavish points.
However, if it was not, then he would only get the lavish points equivalent to its true price.
This was crucial to David.
This would determine if he would be in partial Saint Realm or skip realms to go straight to Saint Realm and Pre-Saint Rank.
However, David figured that since the system said the God of Thunder Hammer was one of the top three Ancient Weapons, it must be very valuable.
According to the market price of Star Kingdom, 11 trillion Star Dollars was not enough for a high-level Soulbound Weapon.
Since it was one of the top three Ancient Weapons, the God of Thunder Hammer would surely be worth
more than a high-level Soulbound Weapon even if it was damaged.
Therefore, there was a huge possibility that David would get all of the lavish points.
Alba and Valerio could tell that David was in a hurry, so they did not stop him.
After hurrying back to his room, David closed the door and used his mind power to keep an eye on his surroundings in case someone barged into his room suddenly.
Once he was done, he impatiently opened his system.
[Host: David Lidell
[Balance: 9985701990000000 Star Dollars
[Body: Sovereign level 6 (You may upgrade one level using 1000 lavish points)
[Mind: Sovereign level 1 (You may upgrade using 1000 lavish points)
[Combat: Eternal Realm Mid-Sovereign Ranker
[Combat Skills: Void Punch (Perfection), Air Crushing Slap (Perfection), Evil-Splitting Sword Technique ( Perfection)
[Skills: Ancient Traditional Medicine (Perfection)
[Lavish Points: 113900]
When David saw the balance of his lavish points, a huge surprise shot out from his eyes.
At the same time, he let out a deafening laugh.
“Hahaha!”
After laughing to his heart’s content, he calmed himself down.
Luckily he had blocked out his room with his mind power, if not, the people from Treasure Trove would surely come to check on him after hearing that.
Indeed, just as he expected, the God of Thunder Hammer was worth more than 11 trillion.
Now, he had gotten all of the lavish points, so he could increase his strength.
Now that he was in Star Kingdom, he truly understood the importance of strength.
Even though he already knew that his strength was the foundation when he was on Earth and in the Milky Way, he was very low-profile and had never experienced the crisis of death.
However, Nek gave him an initial show of strength the moment he came to Star Kingdom.
If his mind power was not strong enough, he would have long been turned to ashes.
It was because he experienced the crisis of death before Nek and saw Celeste’s teacher banishing her to the ice cavern that he decided to increase his strength in a short time.
When he was a True Saint, he would go to the Simmons continent to seek revenge against Nek.
After that, he would go on to Sacred Saint Rank, save Celeste from the Iridescent Sect, and take Celia and the others away.
He would need to do those things step by step.
Now, he needed to break through to Saint Realm and become a Pre-Saint.
‘Nek, you scoundrel, prepare yourself for me at the Simmons Continent. Soon, I will let you know how it feels to have someone control your fate,’ David thought to himself.
Nek was a knot in David’s heart.
Back then, he never experienced the fear of being killed at any time.
If Nek had not insisted on crushing David’s skull back then, David would not have lived until now.
His mind power could only protect his head but not his entire body.
Now, Nek did would have another chance.
He had lost his best opportunity to kill David.
‘I wonder if Nek the scoundrel will regret not killing me when I show up at the Simmons Continent. ‘Perhaps I was just an ant to him at that time.’
Chapter 1748
Nek might have thought he could crush David easily.
The next time they met, David would swap the roles so that Nek would know what it was like to be an ant.
“Hah… Huff… Hah… Huff…”
After taking a few deep breaths, David closed his eyes to try to recompose his body to its best state.
A few minutes later, David opened his eyes.
Then, he opened his system panel and clicked on increasing his Body.
A window popped up.
[This upgrade would cost 1000 lavish points. After upgrading, the host’s Body will go from Sovereign level 6 to Sovereign level 7. Please confirm.]
There were two options below: Yes and No.
Of course, David chose Yes.
The system shone and David felt a gust of warm air entering his body.
A few seconds later, the system went back to normal.
His Body had changed to Sovereign level 7.
He had also spent 1000 lavish points, so there were only 112900.
Without wasting any time, David continued to upgrade his Body.
Sovereign level 8, Sovereign level 9, Sovereign level 10.
He spent a total of 4000 lavish points.
Finally, David upgraded his body to Sovereign level 10.
His combat power also increased drastically and came to peak Sovereign Rank.
At this moment, David’s strength was on the same level as Nova, the head of the Iridescent Sect.
The two of them were peak Sovereign Rankers.
However, this was not enough!
David’s goal was not peak Sovereign Rank, nor was it partial Saint Realm. He wanted to be a Saint.
Now, it was time to upgrade his mind power.
He upgraded one level at a time, and he needed 1000 lavish points.
Sovereign level 2, Sovereign level 3… Sovereign level 10.
Since David’s mind power was only at Sovereign level 1, he spent 9000 lavish points just to upgrade it to Sovereign level 10.
When he upgraded both his Body and mind power to Sovereign level 10, David had spent a total of 13000 lavish points.
He took a look at the system panel.
[Host: David Lidell
[Balance: 9985701990000000 Star Dollars
[Body: Sovereign level 10 (You may upgrade one level using 100000 lavish points)
[Mind: Sovereign level 10 (You may upgrade using 100000 lavish points)
[Combat: Partial Saint Realm
[Combat Skills: Void Punch (Perfection), Air Crushing Slap (Perfection), Evil-Splitting Sword Technique (Perfection)
[Skills: Ancient Traditional Medicine (Perfection)
[Lavish Points: 100900]
Since his Body and Mind were both at Sovereign level 10, David’s combat power was at partial Saint Realm.
Right now, he was at the same level as Valerio, the head of Treasure Trove.
With this strength, he was already pretty invincible in Star Kingdom, a level 7 civilization.
In addition to his strong mind power and Evil-Splitting Sword that could cut anything, David would be unbeatable as long as he did not run into a Saint.
He could be regarded as the number one figure below Saint Realm.
However, this was still not enough.
He still had 10000 lavish points, so he could continue to upgrade his Body.
Once he upgraded this, David’s body would change, and it would go from a mortal’s body to a Saint’s body.
The most basic difference was that the mortal body would be threatened by the catastrophe. They would not be able to hide from the Eternal Catastrophe that would happen once every epoch.
However, once he had a Saint’s body, there would be no catastrophe.
If there were no accidents, the Saint’s body would truly live forever.
Chapter 1749
Even though David was a partial Saint, this was not enough.
Partial Saint was not his goal.
He had prepared and planned for so long, so he wanted to progress further. He wanted to upgrade his Body again to get to Saint Realm.
He had crossed so many ranks, going from late Sovereign Rank directly to Saint Realm.
If word got out and outsiders found out, this would shock everyone in Star Kingdom, including the Sacred Saints.
This was truly unprecedented.
This might have never happened in the entire universe, let alone Star Kingdom.
Meanwhile, David would surely create an unwritten history.
After calming down, David continued upgrading.
A pop-up window appeared again.
[This upgrade will require 10000 lavish points. After upgrading, the host’s Body will go from Sovereign level 10 to Pre-Saint level 10. The host’s body will also go from a mortal body to a Saint’s body. Hence, it will not be affected by the Eternal Catastrophe to achieve true immortality. Does the host want to confirm this upgrade?]
There were still two options.
Yes and No.
David chose Yes without even thinking about it.
The system disappeared before him.
At the same time, he felt a huge burst of energy rushing into his body.
He was overwhelmed by intense pain that felt as if it would stretch him open.
David gritted his teeth to endure the pain.
He knew he had to endure it so that his body could change successfully.
The process of changing from a mortal body to a Saint’s body was very slow. Every cell of the body had to evolve before it was considered a success.
On the other side, Alba did not leave immediately after David left.
She still had a lot of questions.
“Grandpa Val, why did you ask for David?” Alba asked.
“Why? Can’t I invite him over to have a chat?” Valerio asked with a grin.
“No, but I’m just curious. You don’t know him, do you?”
“I didn’t, but I do now after the chat.”
“What did you talk about?”
“I wanted to know more about his identity and background. However, even though he was young, he was very smart. Aside from learning he has a master, I know nothing else. I think he might have
purposely let us know about his master,” Valerio shook his head and said.
David was certainly the smartest young person he had ever met.
It was hard to get any useful information from someone like that.
To put it bluntly, even if Valerio got something from him, it was because David wanted him to know. Even so, he was not sure if what he learned was true.
“So you only talked, right? There weren’t any disagreements or conflicts between you two, right?” Alba asked worriedly.
“Alba, do I look like I lack sense? No matter what, David is a huge client of Treasure Trove, so how could I have any disagreements with him? The company is unstable right now. I might even start worshiping him.”
“Grandpa Val, don’t misunderstand. I didn’t mean that. However, David is not simple. I’m worried there will be some disagreements between you two. It won’t be good even if there is a small disagreement,” Alba quickly explained.
“Of course, I know that. He’s so young and yet he can take out more than 10 trillion Star Dollars without batting an eyelid. He must have a very strong force supporting him. Moreover, I can’t even see through this kid’s strength. There won’t be more than ten young people like this in the entire Star Kingdom, both in the light and the dark. Archimedes is still one level below those guys,” Valerio lamented.
“No way! You can’t see through David? You’re a partial Saint, Grandpa Val!” Alba widened her gorgeous eyes and asked in surprise.
“What’s so surprising about that? Anyone below Saint Realm is an ant, and partial Saints are just slightly stronger ants.”
“B-But David looks so young. How can you not see through him?” Alba was still in disbelief.
“Just because you’re young doesn’t mean you’re weak. Some extremely talented geniuses will break through the realms as easily as eating or drinking. To them, there are no obstacles. Of course, there is another possibility. David might have a hidden treasure, or he knows the concealing technique,” Valerio explained.
“I think it might be the latter,” Alba said affirmatively.
“Oh? How are you so sure?”
“It’s a woman’s intuition.” Alba looked certain.
‘Intuition?’
Valerio smiled and did not say anything.
He was very curious about that young man named David.
He never seen anyone like that in Star Kingdom.
Perhaps David was just as he said. He had always trained with his master and was only recently released.
If not, he would already be popular. He would not be able to hide so well.
For example, what happened at the auction today.
Archimedes and David were fighting and raised a mid-level Soulbound Weapon to 11 trillion, a sky-high price.
This would surely spread across the Central Sacred Continent soon.
Then, it would spread throughout Star Kingdom.
David’s name would enter a lot of people’s ears, and soon, there would be people who dug out his identity and background.
Even if they could not find the real details, there would be a lot of different versions of fake news floating around.
“Alba, I have a question for you,” Valerio asked suddenly.
Chapter 1750
“What do you want to know? Please ask me and I will answer honestly,” Alba answered.
“The last time you told me there’s a chance to solve the family’s predicament and help us get out of the Palmore family’s control. Is this related to David?”
After Valerio asked that, his eyes were fixed on Alba.
When Alba heard this question, she froze. She could not come back to her senses after a long time to answer the question.
Valerio’s question was too sudden.
She never expected that Grandpa Val would guess that David was related to what she told him last time just from this short conversation.
These old men had lived for so long, so none of them were simple.
After coming back to her senses, Alba knew she could not hide anymore.
Since Grandpa Val asked her that, he should have a reason for doing so.
Besides, it might not be a bad thing even if he found out.
As long as they had his help, the time it would take for East League Trading Company to rise would shorten. She could also quickly accomplish her cooperation with David.
“Yes, Grandpa Val, David is the opportunity I previously mentioned,” Alba answered honestly.
Valerio was not shocked by this result. Instead, he expected it.
“Oh? Tell me, how can he fight the Palmore family? Even though he’s not weak in terms of identity and background, Alba, you must know that the Pamore family is one of the six top forces in Star Kingdom with Sacred Saints. You can even say they are at the top of Star Kingdom’s pyramid. No one can shake their position.”
