The Fire Thief Chapter 34: Shadow Phantom
When Lin Yan first heard that it was about the close combat techniques of a warrior, he was not interested.
He possesses a large number of secret techniques, among which close combat techniques are naturally indispensable. However, his energy is now focused on spiritual meditation, and as a warrior he only devotes part of his time to practicing and developing strength, and has not delved much into close combat techniques.
But when he heard it was "Shadow", he couldn't help but raise his eyes.
The old man in the tortoise shell smiled and said, "'Shadow Illusion' is a part of the battle secret 'Shadow Secret Book'. I'm sure many people present have heard of this secret. The instantaneous burst speed in close combat and the concealment of stealth are extremely outstanding. The body movement is ghostly and will definitely not disappoint you!"
"This secret method is not a physical transaction, but is distributed from the virtual universe to the final buyer. It is determined by one learner and is monitored by the virtual universe. It cannot be transferred to others."
The auctions held by the major cosmic countries have five major forces behind them, so it is not difficult to achieve this.
The truly precious secret techniques are sold in this way. Ordinary ones do not have this restriction because many powerful people also need secret techniques to train their descendants. Of course, the price of secret techniques traded in kind is also higher.
This was the case with the pharmacist's notes that Lin Yan had purchased before. The pharmacist was too unpopular, and if he restricted his own use, he couldn't even sell it at the lowest price.
The entire auction hall with millions of seats was filled with discussions.
"There's actually a close combat technique called 'Shadow Form' at this auction, but I definitely can't compete with it with my assets."
"Yes, secret techniques are hard to obtain except for the big powers. Even at the Qianwu Auction, very precious secret techniques are rarely sold. Only occasionally will a few of them appear and attract a lot of attention."
"Those powerful world masters have their own ways to purchase secret techniques, but even so, this is not something we can compete for."
"Hey, the 'Secret Book of Shadows' is very famous. It is indeed the most advanced secret method below the Immortal level."
"Guess how much it is?"
"It is estimated that it can increase to 400 Hunyuan units!"
Many world masters were tempted, but unfortunately... they were short of money.
…
"Oh, I actually encountered the Phantom Shadow at this auction. I am the master of the Light Origin Realm, and I am particularly proficient in the transformation of darkness. This Phantom Shadow is a perfect match for me."
A thin man wearing strange black armor looked at the secret book on the huge screen. His eyes lit up, the light around him was pulled, and the whole man seemed like the embodiment of darkness.
…
"Contact my father now. I am planning to purchase this "Shadow Phantom". I need some financial assistance."
On the many thrones of the auction, a handsome young man gave orders through a virtual assistant.
…
"Shadow of the Imaginarium"?
Lin Yan thought to himself that this "Secret Book of Shadows" was already quite famous. Of course, there was one thing that further deepened his impression.
Luo Feng successfully passed the Peak Genius Battle and joined the Virtual Universe Company. On his way to the Virtual Universe Company, he invested almost all of his 10,000 points into this "Shadow Secret Book".
It was Babata who chose him, valuing a solid foundation.
Babata certainly cannot fully analyze the pros and cons of the entire Virtual Universe Company's treasure trove of secret techniques. The logic behind its selection is that it knows this secret technique and also knows how precious it is.
Of course, Luo Feng regretted this matter later, because it was not easy to obtain points in the early stage, and they should be used in more valuable places.
"This "Shadow Form" is quite suitable for me."
Lin Yan pondered secretly.
He has a deep understanding of the laws of the origin of light, and can use the changes of "darkness" to coordinate with this body technique. More importantly, he has a "shadow" talent, which can be used in combination with the phantom shadow.
Although he has the ability to join the core of the Virtual Universe Company, he is absolutely sure that he can redeem points in the company's treasury.
However, for these ordinary things, the purchasing power of points is far lower than that of Hunyuan units. At the beginning, seven or eight points are equivalent to one Hunyuan unit. But in the later period, those things that can be exchanged at will in the virtual universe company cannot be bought in the outside world at all, including those that cannot be provided by the universe countries. The purchasing power of points is far exceeded.
Moreover, the virtual universe company only accepts points redemption, and the source of points is relatively limited, so the universe currency cannot be used there.
Therefore, there is no need to spend the hard-earned points in the early stage on things that can be done with money.
Including weapons, exotic fruits and the like, it is naturally better to solve them with money.
…
The old man with the tortoise shell shouted, "Start the auction, reserve price 0!"
"200 Hunyuan units!"
"240 Hunyuan units!"
Prices rose rapidly.
Although this secret method is of little use to immortal strongmen, it is a very precious body movement skill for realm masters. It is very difficult for realm masters to make any progress, so naturally they should not miss this ability.
"350 Hunyuan Units!" A thin man wearing black strange armor quoted the price through a black token.
"380 Hunyuan units!" A handsome young man raised the price.
"400 Hunyuan units!" The price continued to rise.
The handsome young man tried to add 5 more Hun Yuan, but when he saw it immediately jump to 410 Hun Yuan, he couldn't help but curse, "Asshole!"
His father did give him financial assistance, but in order to prevent him from getting angry with others and spending too much money competing with others, he only gave him 400 Hunyuan.
He could add more with his own money, but he felt that it exceeded the value of the secret technique itself. After all, he had other physical skills that he could practice.
"420 Hunyuan Units!" Lin Yan started bidding.
The Realm Lord in black armor frowned. It was too expensive and not worth it.
But he added it again: "425 Hunyuan units!"
But the "430 Hunyuan Units" that jumped up immediately made him give up the idea of fighting for it.
"Everyone, 430 Hunyuan Units, is there any higher number?" The old man with a tortoise shell looked around: "Countdown 10, 9, ... 2, 1! Congratulations to guest number KEY76898, you have obtained this extremely precious warrior close combat body method "Shadow Illusion Body"!"
The price was slightly higher than expected, but Lin Yan was still calm. As the saying goes, a son doesn't feel bad when he sells his father's land, let alone this inheritance from a place that has nothing to do with the place at all.
The price of buying items at an auction is inherently flexible, but everyone present is a smart person, so if the price is too flexible, they will naturally be discouraged and will not be foolish enough to give money to the auction house.
Even if there is no shadow phantom, there is light and shadow phantom. They don’t know how many times they have experienced the auction held every three years.
…
As the finale items were auctioned off one by one, Lin Yan only bought one thing.
A detection instrument worth 360 Hunyuan units, and its detection range is only one hundred kilometers. Even ordinary immortal gods are reluctant to equip themselves with detection instruments of this level.
You know, the detection instruments used by ordinary immortals in the extraterritorial battlefield are only about 100 Hunyuan. When they are in this kind of environment, they can be said to be the most willing to spend money on detectors, and they have a very wide range. The detection range is hundreds of millions of kilometers, and the detection accuracy is too poor.
After all, there are too many places that require money, such as weapons, armor, secret techniques, auxiliary life, spacecraft, etc. These all directly affect combat effectiveness, and natural detection instruments are only a small part of it.
When he explores the secrets of the universe in the future, a good detection instrument will be necessary.
The range of one hundred kilometers can give him enough time to react when facing a crisis. Whether it is using the clones to save his life or integrating into the "shadow" in time, it can play a miraculous role.
As for the detection range, if the technology of the instrument is not advanced enough, a detection range that is too wide will be like a firefly in the dark, making it difficult for people to discover its traces.
He thought about it and decided that unless the opponent had more advanced instruments, this kind of detection instrument, even if immortal, would be invisible and undetectable. It would be enough for a long time. If he really encountered an opponent that even this kind of detector could not detect and got within a hundred kilometers of him, he would definitely not be able to deal with it.
The auction is gradually coming to an end.
The last item for auction is a divine weapon!
The first to fifth level telekinetic weapons are for use by those below the Immortal level. Even the nine divine weapons can only improve the combat power of the Immortal by a small amount.
This divine weapon, the "Green Spiral Blade", is already of the level used by ordinary gods who are granted titles. It was finally auctioned for 8,940 Hunyuan Units. Those who competed for it were all powerful beings among the immortal gods.
"3...2...1! Congratulations to guest number THE24342, you have obtained this precious divine weapon 'Green Spiral Blade'!"
The old man with the tortoise shell said in a high-pitched voice: "All the items in this auction have been sold. Thank you all for your support . I, Old Barto, officially declare that this auction...is officially over!"
