Chapter 1774 - 1777: Admitted Defeat?
Liu Ruyan immediately said, "I was saying you normally wouldn't engage in such competitive spirit with others. It doesn't fit your character. So it turns out there are other mysteries involved in this thing."
"Of course, did you think your husband is that foolish? Of course not!" Xu Hao immediately replied.
The Moon Goddess Successor took the Starlight Chessboard and said, "It's said that Laozi was a very powerful figure, and no one knows about his origin or where he went. Some even say he appeared out of nowhere, not born of man.
The Starlight Chessboard is just a magic artifact he used. Legend has it that when Confucius came to discuss the Dao with him, the two top figures sat down for a discussion while playing on this Starlight Chessboard, and in the end, Laozi's skills were superior, defeating Confucius."
"But that's just legend. No one knows how those two top experts and wise men sat down to discuss back then. This Starlight Chessboard certainly won't be the same one as back then, but since it was crafted by Master Tao Hongjing, ranked sixth throughout Huaya's history, it surely isn't that simple."
While speaking, Xu Hao placed his hand on the chessboard and infused it with Qi Force, causing the pieces on it to start moving according to a specific pattern.
Soon, they spun so fast that it dazzled the eyes.
The Moon Goddess Successor was shocked, realizing Xu Hao actually knew how to manipulate this chessboard. No wonder he wanted to buy it!
What kind of heritage had Xu Hao obtained?
After Xu Hao operated the chessboard for a while, he finally stopped.
Meanwhile, outside, the intense auction continued.
A third-grade superior martial technique was being auctioned, suitable for late-stage grandmaster level experts, allowing them to maximize their strength.
Du Yaowei was currently bidding on this martial technique.
"Our Zhongzhou Du Family bids 2.5 billion Huaya Currency!"
For this secret book, he directly bid 2.5 billion!
Compared to that magic artifact earlier, this was indeed worth it.
Magic artifacts are after all external items, not treasures, and for large families like theirs, they don't hold a strong competitive desire.
The reason he participated in the bidding earlier was truly because his cousin from the Du Family wanted to buy it, and as an elder cousin who would become the family head, it was natural to help.
But such a secret book is different from a magic artifact.
As long as one is a grandmaster level expert, they can cultivate third-grade martial techniques.
With secret books and such, you can never have too many.
The reason he called Xu Hao a fool earlier for spending so much on something not particularly worthwhile was precisely this.
When Du Yaowei directly shouted out 2.5 billion, it immediately shocked everyone present.
What was happening tonight?
Why was everyone so willing to spend?
"The Eldest Young Master Du from the Zhongzhou Du Family bids 2.5 billion Huaya Currency for this 'Wind Slashing Technique'. Is there any higher bid?" the auctioneer immediately shouted aloud.
Du Yaowei looked toward the direction of Room Seven and sneered, "Xu Hao, don't pretend to be a turtle hiding in its shell! Didn't you just say you were going to stop me from obtaining treasures? Why are you silent now? If you don't speak out soon, I'm going to buy this 'Wind Slashing Technique'!"
Du Yaowei was truly attacking Xu Hao psychologically, as Xu Hao hadn't participated in this auction from start to finish.
A third-grade superior martial technique that no one could resist, it was an exceedingly rare martial technique.
But Xu Hao didn't make a move, which could only mean he was intimidated, afraid to compete.
And why didn't he dare compete?
Apparently, because he was out of money.
However, Du Yaowei chose this moment to question.
Yet, no sound came from Room Seven.
Du Yaowei immediately said, "Xu Hao, what's going on here? Are you really going to hide like a turtle? Won't even make a sound? Or have you escaped already? I think I should personally go and see if you've really escaped."
Saying this, Du Yaowei got up and left his room, heading towards Xu Hao's room, with the elder following a meter behind.
Everyone looked toward Xu Hao's Room Seven.
Chai Zhongtong said, "Sigh, the young always like to be competitive, but no matter how competitive, one should consider their own abilities. Competing without capability is just laughable!"
Du Yaowei reached outside Xu Hao's Room Seven and was just about to push the door open when he suddenly felt a chill!
"Not good!"
The elder behind Du Yaowei immediately shouted fiercely, thrusting his hand forward with a slash!
"How dare you! Taking action in my Wanbao Pavilion!" the auctioneer immediately yelled angrily, ready to send people to stop it.
It's a rule not to take action in the Wanbao Pavilion!
However, the next moment surprised him and everyone present.
A black Go piece suddenly flew out of Room Seven, directly piercing through the long knife in the elder's hand!
