Chapter 1076: Indisputable
Translator: Exodus Tales Editor: Exodus Tales
“This… is a soul weapon of your Aurora Clan?!” Tong Duoduo trembled in shock as she asked with a raised voice.
Everyone was stunned. Being from a clan that collected soul weapons, Tong Duoduo had seen all kinds of soul weapons growing up, so why was she suddenly so surprised?
“I guess?” replied Wistful Heizus with a touch of uncertainty. He had also noticed the strange mood in the room, which had not been here before. It was clearly entirely because of that soul weapon.
Wistful Heizus took out his list and looked it over. Finally, he pointed at a golden eight-spiked hammer and said, “Yes, this truly is one of our Aurora Clan’s inherited soul weapons. Its name is the Golden Gavel.”
The Golden Gavel was a very unsophisticated name, and its appearance matched, yet to everyone’s surprise, this seemingly lousy soul weapon had drawn the attention of a famous soul weapon collector, Tong Duoduo.
“Patriarch Xiao, I want this Golden Gavel! I will use three—no, five! Five grade 4 soul weapons to trade with you!” Tong Duoduo said swiftly.
“Whoa!”
Everyone gasped. This was truly the Tong Clan, a top-class soul weapon collector family. Their starting offer was already five grade 4 soul weapons! Was this unsophisticated Golden Gavel really worth that much, though?
Wistful Heizus was startled, but Tong Duoduo took this pause as his dissatisfaction with the price, so she gritted her teeth and said, “Til also add a grade 5 soul vessel, the Four Seas Celestial Pearl!”
A grade 5 soul vessel!
Among the three clans, only the Laz Clan had taken out a single grade 4 soul weapon, the Twin Swallow Caltrop, and in actuality, this spinning caltrop had been borrowed from someone else. As for the Aurora Clan and Ping Clan, they did not have a single one at that grade.
However, Tong Duoduo had immediately offered five grade 4 soul weapons, and then she even added a grade 5 soul vessel! How could all of them not be stunned?
Wistful Heizus was startled again, and Tong Duoduo thought once more that the price was no good and stomped her feet in panic, saying, “Forget it. I suppose that such a big deal isn’t something I can decide on. I’ll immediately call my grandfather to handle this matter.”
“Sir Tong Jinliang?!”
*Whew!*
Everyone was alarmed.
Collecting, especially soul weapons, was not something any ordinary person could do.
The Tong Clan could collect soul weapons because they were part of the top of the very top in the Alpha Universe, and Tong Jinliang was the guiding light of the collector world. He should not be looked down on just because he was a collector, for he was also a bigshot who could take your life!
‘Where did all those things the Tong Clan collected go? To the hands of powerful Soul Hunters, of course! While the Tong Clan had a collecting hobby, it had a social network on par with the Spiritualists. By helping Soul Hunters pick the right soul weapon and using these soul weapons to build connections
with people from the upper echelons, the Tong Clan was able to vastly expand its social network!
Now, Tong Duoduo was going to call her grandfather, Tong Jinliang, the man known as Three-eyed Tong, all for this little Golden Gavel?! Everyone was dumbfounded. Where did this odd-looking Golden Gavel come from?!
“Heheh! Duoduo, we still have our assignment. As for asking Old Master Tong, that should wait until after we finish judging,” said Ding Qingrui with a smile.
He was the chief evaluator, and while he was surprised, he had not forgotten his assignment.
Tong Duoduo’s face turned red and she apologized. “Yes, I was so delighted that I forgot that we’re currently representing Chaos Society.”
She paused and then said, “Elder Ding, Elder Li, I think that it’s already settled. With the Aurora Clan’s Golden Gavel, it beats your two clans by miles!”
“Whoa!”
Everyone did not dare to believe their ears. After all this hassle, there was still no need to evaluate. With that ugly Golden Gavel, the Aurora Clan had obtained certain victory!
“Impossible! This Golden Gavel is at most a grade 2! How could it overcome our Laz Clan’s more than seven hundred graded soul weapons? I won’t accept this!” Patriarch Lazaha shouted.
After all, he was the one who had allowed the Aurora Clan to present its remaining soul weapons, but it turned out that when these seemingly ordinary soul weapons appeared, the Laz Clan would immediately lose. There was no need to elaborate on the flames of anger burning in Lazaha’s heart at this
moment.
“Let me look! What in the world is this thing?!”
Furious, Lazaha reached out for the Golden Gavel, but he had just extended his hand when Tong Duoduo slapped him right across the face!
*Pal*
There had been no holding back on her part when she delivered this slap. Tong Duoduo was not just a soul weapon specialist from the Tong Clan; she was also a warrior! This slap sent Lazaha hurtling away, five or six yellow teeth flying out of his mouth, carrying bloody spittles.
“You dare! This is a healing-type soul weapon! You think you’re worthy of touching it?!” Tong Duoduo angrily placed a hand on her waist as she demanded.
“Healing! A healing-type soul weapon?!” Ding Qingrui went pale as he urgently said. “Duoduo, are you sure?!”
Tong Duoduo carefully put that ugly gavel on the rack, reluctant to let it go. “Elder Ding? Even if you don’t believe my eyes, haven’t you noticed the warmth filling this room?”
Ding Qingrui quickly nodded. “Yes. The moment the Aurora Clan brought in these soul weapons, I felt like I was on a seaside vacation and wanted to take a nap.”
Tong Duoduo explained, “That’s the power of a healing-type soul weapon! The soul weapon has yet to be activated, but it’s already making people feel warm and comfortable. What else except a legendary healing-type soul weapon can do that!”
“You’re saying that this Golden Gavel is a grade 2 healing-type soul weapon?!” Li Jindou said, a nasty scowl on his face. If the Aurora Clan had a healing-type soul weapon, then let alone the Laz Clan, even two Laz Clans put together would be unable to win. As Lazaha’s co-conspirator, Li Jindou was
naturally feeling very torn.
Tong Duoduo replied, “Not grade 2, but grade 1 and a half. If this had been a grade 2 healing-type soul weapon, I would’ve already ended this dog’s life!”
Tong Duoduo stared daggers at Lazaha. Collectors were an eccentric lot, and Tong Duoduo was no exception. She regarded collectables as if they were her ancestors, and whether the items belonged to her or not, she would move to protect them. Lazaha’s tantrum had rubbed her the wrong way, and now;
the Tong Clan’s young mistress even found the sight of Lazaha as revolting.
*whoosh*
Despite the bright and sunny day, the room was as silent as a grave. Everyone was stunned and speechless at the appearance of a healing-type soul weapon.
Spiritualists were the most mysterious and most revered profession in the Alpha Universe.
Spiritualists of Healing were the stuff of legends among Spiritualists.
As the Spiritualist line began to die off, even ordinary soul weapons had started to become valuable. What more of healing-type soul weapons? They were essentially priceless!
Ding Qingrui was a cunning fox, and he could tell that Wistful Heizus was surprised, too. If the Aurora Clan had always owned this healing-type soul weapon, Wistful Heizus would not be acting like this. Could it be that even he did not know how the Golden Gavel had become like this?
Realizing this, he asked Wistful Heizus with a smile, “Patriarch Heizus, it is truly wonderful that your noble clan possess a healing-type soul weapon. In this evaluation, it’s only proper that you receive the best grade, but which Spiritualist made the Golden Gavel? Also, are they still around?”
Wistful Heizus was not used to lying, and so he shook his head and explained, “This Golden Gavel was originally just an ordinary soul weapon, and a damaged one at that, but after Heavenly Treasure repaired it, it suddenly became a healing-type soul weapon… Even I am unsure of what’s happening here.”
*Whoosh!*
Everyone was stunned. This was understandable, as the appearance of a healing-type soul weapon was a heaven-shaking incident. It turned out that there were many twists and turns to this soul weapon’s story. Everyone was entranced by this.
“Heavenly Treasure?!”
“Heavenly Treasure has a Spiritualist of Healing in their employment?!”
Everyone had very exaggerated expressions. The four leading trading firms had power and money, but they were not considered great powers. The reason was that the Alpha Universe cared more about fighting power, and a clan that only had money and no warriors was not much respected. Of course, any
Spiritualists, even if they lacked combat power, would be more respected than everyone else.
Everyone understood what this news meant. The Golden Gavel had been recently modified, meaning that there was a living Spiritualist of Healing in the Alpha Universe!
In this day and age, if even interacting with an ordinary Spiritualist was difficult, what more of a legendary Spiritualist of Healing!?
Tong Duoduo nodded. “It seems that an honored Spiritualist of Healing personally intervened and modified this Golden Gavel, turning it into an authentic healing-type soul weapon. Even the other approximately two hundred weapons have a slight healing aura radiating from them.”
*zing-*
Ding Qingrui could no longer sit still, saying, “Hurry up and call over the head of Heavenly Treasure’s Garde 83 branch! No, we’ll go ourselves!”
At this time, the head of Chaos Society’s Garde 83 branch, Lurn Treasure, scratched his head and said, “Sir, Miss Suzu of Heavenly Treasure is in our compound. She came with the Aurora Clan’s people.”
Ding Qingrui was startled, and he asked, “Why didn’t you say so earlier?! Idiot! Quickly call her in!”
Suzu Treasure came into the reception hall and saw all of these bigshots warmly smiling at her. She was a daughter of a merchant family and had neither fame nor status, yet she was being treated as such by these elders of Chaos Society. It seemed like Xia Fei had not been lying.
“Miss Suzu, please come in and sit. Lurn Treasure, serve the lady tea,” Ding Qingrui said loudly, unexpectedly treating the lady as an equal. This was just how highly he regarded her.
After exchanging a few polite greetings, Ding Qingrui finally asked, “Miss Suzu, I heard that the Aurora Clan’s soul weapons have passed through your hands recently?”
Bao Xiuzhu smiled. “It can’t be called that. It’s a friend of mine who took care of things. I merely served as a go-between for my friend.”
“A friend?” Ding Qingrui was startled. Suzu Treasure was actually friends with a Spiritualist of Healing? Was that not incredible?! Everyone in the room instantly looked at her with eyes that burned with enthusiasm and interest.
“Then where is this friend of yours now? Can we be allowed to meet them?” Ding Qingrui asked softly.
Suzu did not respond, looking at the people around her. Ding Qingrui immediately had Lum Treasure and the others exit the room, leaving only the three bigshots.
“There’s no one else present, Miss Suzu, so please speak freely,” Ding Qingrui politely said.
Suzu Treasure put down her tea cup and lightly said, “To tell the truth, I also didn’t know that honored individual before. He just came to find me one day and said that the Aurora Clan would need some soul weapons repaired. He wanted me to take the job, saying that it would be very advantageous to me.
“T, Suzu, dubiously took the Aurora Clan’s job, but after only a few days, all the soul weapons were repaired and sent back, and they’re already like this, clearly having gone through an astonishing transformation!”
Everyone’s eyes widened as they closely listened.
“Twas naturally shocked, so I asked them, what was going on with these soul weapons? To my surprise, that honored individual gave me this…” As Suzu spoke, she reached into her spatial ring..
