My Apocalypse Territory-Chapter 63: A Longsword Triggers...

"Who is that!"

"How could they raise the price so much at once!"

"I'm pissed! Who else has that many Source Crystals!"

The crowd looked over to find a figure shrouded in a black robe, wearing a mask.

Who is this person...

Who on earth are they!

Among the many top team captains present, none of them bothered to hide their faces, and the sudden appearance of this out-of-place individual made the scene seem as if it had momentarily frozen.

"Hmm?"

A Captain Level Awakener perceived and said, "Sneaking around like that, not even an Awakener, can they even produce that many Source Crystals!"

The others also had strange expressions on their faces; a person without even the aura of an Awakener, no one believed they could pull out more than eight hundred Source Crystals.

Stirring up trouble?

But it's been so long since anyone dared to cause trouble at the Black Market!

The Black Market is the territory of the Four Great Mercenary Corps; even these Captain Level people had to stay in line with the rules, so isn't this guy probably just an ignorant newbie?

The bewitching woman also felt something was off.

She did not speak up, but instead called over a staff member to verify if Tang Yu could produce that many Source Crystals.

Everyone's gaze was now focused on Tang Yu.

Some looked disdainful, some sympathetic, and others appeared to be watching a drama unfold.

"If no one else is bidding, then I'll take it."

It seemed the newbie still hadn't grasped the situation, but in the next instant, they saw the newcomer produce a bag of Source Crystals.

The Source Crystals were plentiful, stuffed into a not-so-large plastic bag, bulging in fullness, with some worrying whether the Source Crystals might burst the bag.

A newbie?

One hell of a newbie!

Which newbie can produce so many Source Crystals!

While they didn't know the exact worth of the bag of Source Crystals, a rough glance suggested that its value was probably over a thousand.

Couldn't afford the bid?

Is that possible?

A staff member brought out a device specially designed to measure the energy value of Source Crystals, which quickly displayed a value of 1145.

Many Awakeners saw this number and unavoidably took in a cold breath.

The Captain Level figures too went pale; even those few who could have raised their bid now chose not to speak, for no matter how they competed, they couldn't win.

The auction finally came to an end.

However, what remained in their minds was the image of that lightly composed figure in a black robe, along with that bag of Source Crystals that nearly blinded them.

Some people were guessing, which top Mercenary Corps this person with a hidden identity belonged to.

Not all top squads participated in this auction; some had already obtained soul power containers through other channels, while others simply didn't need them—not out of disdain, but because they believed that using the Source Crystals in other areas would yield greater profits.

Despite all their guesses, they couldn't figure it out.

Tang Yu's voice didn't match any member of the top-tier teams they were familiar with, and some guessed that the person in the black robe had deliberately altered their voice; these possibilities were making some of the more obsessive-compulsive people feel as if they were on the brink of collapse.

...

In another location inside the abandoned air-raid shelter.

This is a place only accessible to members of the Four Great Mercenary Corps.

In one of the previously quiet tunnels, there now came a furious voice.

"Idiot, I told you to keep an eye on the auction, and this is how you do it! The Demon-slaying Sword has been auctioned off before you even got the information; what use are you to me?"

A bare-chested man with a thick chest hair and a full beard kicked the skinny young man in front of him, sending him flying a good distance.

The skinny young man was also an Awakener of no small strength, but he dared not resist and bore the pain, standing up.

The bearded man was not appeased and threw another heavy punch.

The skinny young man closed his eyes.

The next instant, the heavy punch landed on the tunnel wall beside the skinny young man, with a bang, spiderweb cracks spread out, and dust fell in showers.

"Do you know how much my strength could have increased with a Demon Slayer Sword!"

The bearded man inwardly cursed.

As a captain of the Seventh Squad of Scarlet Hand, Shi Yanming was known for his overbearing actions. These past two days, his squad was on duty at the Black Market, and he naturally wanted to acquire some good items from the auction. He had sent his men to watch over it early on. If they could have brought him information about the auction items before it started, with his capability, he would definitely have been able to get his hands on the Demon Slayer Sword. But once it went to auction, he had to follow the rules.

These were the rules set by the Four Great Mercenary Corps, and even he dared not violate them.

However, the more Shi Yanming thought about it, the angrier he got. Over a hundred Source Crystals—couldn't he afford them? If this useless subordinate had brought the news sooner, allowing him to rush to the auction, he at least could have obtained a Demon Slayer Sword. Then wouldn't his Seventh Squad be able to overtake the Sixth Squad in a matter of minutes!

"Useless! Go find out who auctioned the Demon Slayer Sword now! It certainly wasn't developed by the science academy, otherwise, the boss would have known about it already and wouldn't have let it come to auction here. Do you understand?"

The skinny young man nodded repeatedly.

Indeed, he had made a mistake. He hadn't expected that items would still be brought for identification even after the auction had started. He only learned what he had missed when the Demon Sword was auctioned, and he hastily went to inform, but it was already too late!

He must seize this chance for redemption. It was just a matter of finding out who the auctioneer was. Even if they had hidden their identity, as long as they were still in the Black Market, he would be able to drag them out!

...

The commotion caused by the Demon-slaying Longsword was not limited to the Scarlet Hand.

This weapon was of little help to the overall situation, and its ability to enhance team strength was also limited. However, it was undeniable that to an individual, this was a Divine weapon!

Warhammer Vice Commander.

This man appeared to be in his forties, a mature middle-aged person, but he was actually only in his twenties.

Holding a Demon-slaying Longsword in his hand, he swung it a few times, "Not bad, indeed a good weapon. With this weapon, I would have the confidence to take on a Fifth Tier demonized beast alone, but this sword is better suited for the Commander, and I can only bear to part with it for now."

"Lin Xu." The Warhammer Vice Commander patted the shoulder of a member beside him, "Keep a close watch on the person who auctioned the Demon Slayer Sword, and see if there's another chance to buy such a Divine weapon."

...

Science Academy.

An old man with white hair and wearing glasses gently stroked the Demon Slayer Sword, as if he were caressing a lover.

"Indeed, indeed..."

"Teacher, what did you see?" The assistant beside him looked helpless.

He knew his teacher all too well—whenever there was a discovery, this would be his reaction. But could you please speak up? Building up suspense like this isn't very nice.

He was also on the verge of going mad.

The old man reluctantly put the longsword down, "This is what we've been studying all along, a kind of Transcendent Power factor."

"Ah, you mean, how is that possible!"

The young assistant couldn't believe it. That thing was what Elder Sun and a group of scientists had been working hard at for a long time, barely unraveling its secrets. How could it simply be applied to a weapon?

"Teacher, couldn't it be due to the material or perhaps the ability of an ability user?"

The old man patted the young assistant's shoulder, "Lin, I'm not so senile that I misread data from instruments. As for abilities, that's a more complicated domain, and I can't make it clear either. But even if it were an ability, being able to involve Transcendent Factors and adhere to a weapon is no small feat."

"Lin, you must understand that there are always bigger mountains beyond mountains, and people beyond people. Come with me, let's go out."
