The Strongest Man in the Universe

Chapter 531

Elmer took the wooden box carefully, opened it, and stared at the stone to study it.

After a while, he said, “Nona Alba, if not mistaken, this stone contains a huge vitality, so it can be called as Life Stone.”

“Tell me what's the use and how much is it worth!"

“Life Stone has limited effects on Eternals, but is very effective for people under the Eternal Realm, especially for those whose time is up. Regarding the price, it is not easy to estimate it. Those who need it can buy it at sky-high prices to save their lives. If you don't need it, you won't pay too much.” explains Elmer.

“David, you heard it too. Although this stone is considered a treasure, it is not enough for you to attend the auction. If I take you, I'll naturally take responsibility for you. Try to see if there is anything else to prove your financial resources." Alba looked at David and said.

David only had one thought at the moment. These two people don't know what it is. He bought Life Stone for 5 trillion Galaxy Dollars and obtained 50 thousand luxury points. It was proof that the system recognized this item and it was not as simple as Elmer claimed, nor was it just working on people under the Eternal Realm. Elmer also failed to deal with many aspects of the Life Stone. For example, the vitality contained within the Life Stone was extremely sacred, so it could repel evil forces and heal serious wounds quickly.

David doesn't know what to do with the power to drive out evil. However, a quick wound treatment will be much faster than an Eternal level recovery. In a balanced fight where both sides suffered, a person with a Life Stone could recover quickly. Instead, the party that did not possess a Life Stone could only rely on the vitality generated by their body as an Eternal to recover slowly. With this, the party with the Life Stone could attack and finish off the enemy before they could recover.

If one were to face an invincible opponent, one could pretend to be severely injured and use the Life Stone to recover calmly and quickly. Then, he could wait for an opportunity to make a surprise attack or escape.

Nonetheless, Elmer claimed that such a useful stone was only useful to people under the Eternal Realm. It seemed that the old man was not as smart as he seemed.

Actually, David was a little guilty of Elmer. Elmer started from the base of the Treasure Trove and got to his place step by step. He had appraised many treasures, but he had never seen a Life Stone. Thus, he could only deduce its use based on some past experiences and the effects he felt. Other than containing immense vitality, the Life Stone did not have any other functions. That's why Elmer said that.

“Nona Fellowes, aside from this Life Stone, I have no other treasures to prove my wealth." David smiled bitterly.

The Life Stone was the only one he could take as collateral, but both of them did not know what it was. Even if David detailedly explained the other uses of the Life Stone, they probably wouldn't believe it.

“Then what's on your back? You've been carrying it around all the time, so it's very important to you, isn't it?" ask Alba.

He had long since stared at the wooden box on David's back. Judging from its shape, it must be a sword or a knife. The reason why he placed so much importance on the wooden box on David's back was because Alba was so obsessed with guns. He did not like other treasures, only precious weapons.

As the third young mistress of Treasure Trove, Alba had seen quite a number of weapons and had accumulated quite a lot. However, he still could not stop his curiosity when he saw another weapon.

The wooden box on David's back definitely kept his weapon, and it was most likely a Soulbound Weapon. Alba was eager to see what it was. Even though he wouldn't have it, he had to see it.

“Sorry, Miss Fellowes, this is my weapon and my partner. I will not offer it as a guarantee.” David said seriously.

The Evil Splitting Sword had accompanied David in his growth all along. Even if he lost the opportunity to participate in this auction, he would never give it to anyone else no matter what.

"Can you tell me what that weapon is?" ask Alba.

"This is a sword" replied David.

"What's his name?"

"Evil Splitting Sword!"

“Evil Splitting Sword's? What a name! Can you open it and let me see it? Don't worry, I don't want you to use it as collateral. I just wanted to see if it was worth the price. If the Evil Splitting Sword can prove your strength, I can let you enter the auction without asking for any guarantees" Alba said.

Elmer, who was standing next to Alba, fell silent. 'Miss Alba's old habits are back. I don't know why this girl really likes to learn all kinds of weapons. It was said that he researched all the weapons in the vault of the Treasure Trove headquarters before he came here. I think he probably moved out after he was almost done here.'

“You just want to see, right? Not asking for it as collateral?” David reaffirmed.

“Yes, I just want to see it."

"All right."

After David confirmed with him, he took down the wooden box from his back and placed it on the table. Alba stared at the wooden box. He could feel the energy that was piercing within it.

'This is a good sword! This is truly an incredible sword!' Alba's heart was already beating even before the box was opened.

He was obsessed with learning the various weapons in his life, and the sword was his favorite.

The truck!

David opened the wooden box, revealing a long red sword inside. As Alba looked at the sword, she was very interested.

Elmer's eyes widened at this very moment. 'This sword sharpness is matchless.'

Judging from his experience appraising countless weapons over the years. The Evil Splitting Sword David of course had a high level. Soulbound Weapons were divided into four levels, each low level, middle level, high level, and first level.

David's sword was at least at the high level of Soulbound Weapon. If such a peerless sword were brought to the auction, it would definitely cause countless powers to fight crazily to obtain it, and in the end, it would, it would be worth an unimaginable sky-high price.

It seems that 80% of what this boy David said was true. He probably got this sword from his master. The only person capable of possessing such a treasure was a Saint.

Alba looked at it, subconsciously wanting to reach out and touch the blade. David stopped him in time.

“Nona Fellowes, this sword is very sharp, so you can't touch it.” said David.

The Evil Splitting Sword could cut through everything in the world. If used properly, it could even kill a Saint.

David did not dare to let Alba, a Ruler Ranker, touch him. He could not bear the responsibility if he was injured. The main reason was that he had also not obtained an invitation to attend the auction!

“David, where did you get this sword?” ask Alba.

He did not care that David prevented him from touching the sword.

David only thought for a tenth of a second before replying, “I got the Evil Splitting Sword from my master.”

The best option was to push everything to that non-existent mysterious master. After Elmer heard that, he was more confident in his judgment.

"David, are you willing to sell this sword?" Alba looked at the Evil Splitting Sword and asked.

A person's skin would be tingled by his energy even from such a distance. Alba is the young mistress of Treasure Trove. Although he could not keep the various weapons dealt by the Treasure Trove as his own, he could still learn them.

So far, he had seen at least hundreds of Soulbound Weapons. However, none of them could compare to the aura that Evil Splitting Sword David exuded on him. Even if he had seen some high-tier Soulbound Weapons before, they were much worse than these swords.

"Could this be a first-rate Soulbound Weapon?" alba thought surprised.

First level Soulbound Weapon! There were not many of them in the entire Star Kingdom.

'They are all in the hands of some great power. An Eternals usually only used low-level Soulbound Weapons. Only certain direct descendants of the main force or Sovereign Rankers could possess intermediate-tier Soulbound Weapons. As for high-level Soulbound Weqpon, it was exclusive to those at the Saint Realm. Needless to say, the Pre-Saint should not even dream about possessing a first-rate Soulbound Weapon Weapon. Only a True Saint or above would have one.'

Alba had never thought that he would see a first-rate Soulbound Weapon in the hands of a young man his age today. If this sword was actually given to David by his master as he said, then master David might not be a True Saint, but a Sacred Saint.

It was because a Sacred Saint would not just give away a first-rate Soulbound Weapon. Even so, there were only a few known Sacred Saints in Star Kingdom.

'Who is David's employer?

According to David, he and his master had been living together, and he had just been released from training. Could it be that there was still a powerful Sacred Saint hiding in Star Kingdom?

That's just possible! Grandfather once said that Star Kingdom is not as simple as it seems. What you see is still shallow and there's a lot going on below the surface.'

“Nona Fellowes, I told you this sword is not only my weapon but also my friend and partner. It has been with me for a very long time. If you were me, would you sell your partner?" David refused.

“I can offer very high price!” Alba still won't give up.

“No matter how high the price is, I will not sell it. Miss Fellowes, you should just give up.” David remained unmoved.

He couldn't even spend all his own money, why would he sell the Evil Splitting Sword?

“Because Mr. Lidell does not want to sell, then I will not force.” said Alba sadly.

His eyes slowly moved away from the Evil Splitting Sword. He also knew that no one was willing to sell a first-rate Soulbound Weapon. But he still had to try, which was why he asked. This kind of thing is hard to come by. After all, even if David wanted to sell it, he would not dare to do so.

Since it had been given to him by his master, David would have been flayed alive by his master when he returned if he sold it.

"Then, Miss Fellowes, what about the auction?" David is most worried about this right now.

"Mr Lidell, you'd better rest here for a few days and then come back with me. When the time comes, I will let you get into the auction location" Alba said.

“Thank you, Miss Fellowes! If you need something in the future, I will help you as long as it is still in my power" David said with immediate enthusiasm.

He could now enter the auction. If he were to bid on some treasures at random, he could quickly increase his strength. After that, he was no longer as weak as he was now. He is weak and has too many limits.

"okay! It means it's been resolved. I'll allow you to attend the auction, and you'll owe me a favor. Of course, I'm not going to use it recklessly and make you do something that violates your principles."

"Then we agree!"

"We agreed!"

David put away the Evil Splitting Sword and left satisfied. Alba asks someone to arrange a place for her. Now, only Alba and Elmer were left in the room.

"Elmer, based on your judgment, can you see what is special about this sword?" ask Alba suddenly.

“Nona Alba, I can discuss other treasures with you, after all, I have many years of experience, but in terms of weapons, I should not try to show off. Who does not know that you have studied countless weapons and even studied hundreds of Soulbound Weapons? I am ashamed to say that I have never seen so many Soulbound Weapons in my life, let alone studied them." Elmer replied truthfully.

He was not humble, nor was he exaggerating or trying to curry favor with Miss Alba. It's totally real. Who in the Central Sacred Continent did not know that Miss Alba from Treasure Trove was a gun enthusiast?

There were very few Soulbound Weapons handled by Treasure Trove that Miss Alba had never learned before. Although Elmer had rich experience in appraising treasures, he was inferior to Miss Alba in terms of weapons.

"Based on your years of experience, what do you think of that sword?" Alba kept asking.

“Nona Alba, this sword is red and very sharp. It had a very piercing energy left in the air even before it was used. If I am right, this should be a rare high-level Soulbound Weapon.” Elmer first tells how he feels and finally reveals his own judgment.

“Soulbound Weapon high level? Elmer, you misjudged this time" Alba said with a grin.

"Misjudged?" Elmer refused to admit it.

This sword was the best quality he had ever seen. Elmer had seen more than one intermediate-tier Soulbound Weapon, and he could guarantee that everything did not look like the Evil Splitting Sword. But since Miss Alba said she was wrong, she might indeed ignore something.

After all, he was a bit away from the sword, and he couldn't see it up close. So it was natural for him to misjudge.

Elmer still believes Miss Alba's words. In terms of weapons research, very few people in the Central Sacred Continent could compare to Miss Alba. This is thanks to Miss Alba's talent and hard work over the years.

As the saying goes, training will make you perfect. Miss Alba had learned a lot of Soulbound Weapons, so she had a lot of experience.

“Nona Alba, although I have not been able to see it up close, based on my years of experience, there is no doubt that this is a peerless sword. Even if it wasn't a high-level Soulbound Weapon, it was also the best among mid-level Soulbound Weapons comparable to high-level Soulbound Weapons" Elmer said sternly

“Elmer, your view is rather narrow. Why do you think lower and not higher after I tell you that you have misjudged?"

“Thinking higher?”

Elmer did not understand what Alba meant for a while.

“Nona Alba, I'm too stupid.”

“Is there only middle-level and low-level Soulbound Weapons in this world?" alba asked meaningfully.
