Everyone below was holding their breath, watching the auctioneer anxiously.
The auctioneer's expression had thoroughly piqued everyone's curiosity, and some of the bad-tempered ones couldn't help but start cursing. "Damn it! What's with the suspense? You're making me anxious!"
Jie Yanbai's expression changed again!
A bead of cold sweat slid down his back, and a chill suddenly rose in his heart!
He could clearly feel that in this instant, Jiao Si's aura had abruptly surged.
"Don't worry, Yan Bai. Mister Jiao and I have met once before. After a while, I will take you to the Origins Academy and ask him to give you some pointers. I believe it will be beneficial to you in the future," Madam Zhi Lian said with a warm smile.
Madam Zhi Lian admired that student who didn't have outstanding talent but was extremely hard-working and patient.
She wasn't stingy to be able to give him a push when the time was right.
Jiao Si was 1.8 meters tall, with thick hands and a simple and unadorned appearance.
If everyone weren't so familiar with him, it would be hard to imagine such an unprepossessing person could actually be one of the top aces in the federation.
Countless thumb-sized spherical energy bodies suddenly appeared around Jiao Si. They were divided into two colors, pure black and pure white.
The black and white energy beads were arranged in picturesque disorder, calmly floating around him.
There wasn't a single person in the arena, but it wasn't the first time many of those who had entered had been there, and they were sitting steadily.
The expressions of Jie Yanbai, Zu Ning, and Hugo all changed. They could feel Jiao Si's imposing manner in the arena constantly rising.
He didn't need to draw on any external force to be able to freely control his imposing manner, which was a cut above them.
Even those with deep scheming minds couldn't hide their anticipation.
Jiao Si opened his eyes!
Jiao Si's outstanding achievements as president of the Origins Academy weren't what people were most interested in talking about, but rather his brilliant achievements in the five years he had been the president of the card artisan division.
At 40, Jiao Si was at the peak of his life, and his power had reached unprecedented heights.
"Awesome!
The boss of this auction house really has some tricks to be able to invite Jiao Si to demonstrate. Not simple. Not simple at all! "
Jiao Si, who could fight with them, was himself one of the top aces in the federation.
Jiao Si's fighting style was tough, and he didn't fear death.
Under his influence, the card artisans who came out of the Origins Academy were all incomparably brave in battle, and they had an excellent reputation in the card artisan world.
"Hehe, let's watch the demonstration first. I'm also very curious about what kind of card this is, to be able to invite Jiao Si to demonstrate!" Madam Zhi Lian said with a smile.
Jiao Si couldn't see outside, so she didn't pay much attention to it and directly activated her apparatus.
Jie Yanbai's expression turned serious and he solemnly bowed to Madam Zhi Lian. "Yanbai thanks Madam Zhi Lian. If there is anything I can do for you in the future, I will not dare to refuse!"
Tang Hanpei naturally didn't need to be said. He was a super genius from the Federation Comprehensive Academy, the holder of the record for the fastest known level-four perception, and the current dean of the card artisan division of the Federation Comprehensive Academy.
Those who originally wanted to rob the auction house immediately gave up on this idea.
The fact that they were able to invite an expert like Jiao Si was enough to show how powerful they were in the dark.
What's more, with Jiao Si's status, who would dare to mess around?
"60!" Madam Zhi Lian could no longer maintain her composure and suddenly stood up!
When everyone sat down, the demonstration officially began.
These energy beads were arranged neatly, forming a spherical matrix.
Beside each black energy bead was bound to be a white energy bead. There seemed to be some kind of special magnetic field between the black and white energy beads.
How could everyone not be surprised when such a heavyweight card artisan appeared in the demonstration field?
Under his leadership, the Origins Academy had rapidly risen. Not only had it leapt to become the largest academy in the Ming Zheng District, but it had also entered the top five in the Federation Academy rankings.
Of the top 50 academies, the five flourishing districts and the academies in the capital took up 40 spots, while the Origins Academy took up one of the remaining 10 spots.
The auctioneer kept his cool and gently put the card back in the box. "Don't be impatient, everyone!
I can responsibly tell everyone that the miracle is tonight! "
Some of the more attentive ones were roused. They could hear the trembling and restrained excitement in the auctioneer's voice.
Ten years ago, when he had just turned 30, he had made a name for himself in a battle against a jungle beast attack on a city.
At that time, he had been so brilliant that even the Big Six had thrown out olive branches to him.
However, he had unexpectedly refused the Big Six and had instead gone to his alma mater, the then-unknown Origins Academy, to take up the position of president, becoming the youngest president in the history of the Origins Academy.
Everyone who had come to that conclusion was looking forward to it, though they also knew the rules.
Before the auction, there would be a card artisan who would specifically demonstrate the various marvels of the card.
Those who could get there weren't simple people, and they all patiently waited for the demonstration to begin.
Jie Yanbai's curiosity was immediately piqued to the extreme.
By that time, the hole in the center of the field had already closed, and Jiao Si slowly walked into the demonstration field.
Jiao Si was the former president of the Origins Academy and the current president of its card artisan division.
The Origins Academy could squeeze into the top 50 in the federation, and it was the largest and most famous academy in the Ming Zheng District.
It wasn't in Pomelo but was located in Amedal, another economic center in the Ming Zheng District.
Generally speaking, apart from the Big Six, the presidents of ordinary academies were usually talented in administrative management. But Jiao Si was a card artisan, a high-grade card artisan.
The layout of the venue was rather strange, and it was completely different from other auction houses.
It was a demonstration field with a diameter of 200 meters, with all sorts of instruments and targets placed in it. Its ascent was isolated by a layer of transparent energy cloak.
There were five levels of viewing platforms around the huge demonstration field, which could seat 500 people.
If it could still be called a miracle with the first six cards, then that card would probably be even more powerful than the first six!
"Good lord, it really is Jiao Si! He's actually coming to demonstrate himself!"
There was a commotion in the viewing platforms, and quite a few people couldn't sit still and got up.
The energy cloak was activated, and a thick but sparkling and translucent energy cloak tightly covered the demonstration field.
On the one hand, it ensured that those who entered wouldn't be accidentally injured by the energy bodies emitted during the demonstration, and on the other hand, it ensured the safety of the items being auctioned.
Jiao Si stood as still as a javelin among the black and white energy beads.
In the field, Jiao Si didn't immediately demonstrate but closed his eyes with his eyebrows lowered.
He was as still as a mountain. He just stood there casually, emanating a breathtaking aura all around him.
Jie Yanbai was startled and came back to his senses. He couldn't help but feel ashamed that he had almost been frightened by his adversary's aura.
Having calmed down, Jie Yanbai counted in the blink of an eye, "Madam, it's 60 beads!"
Zi, a small hole suddenly appeared in the center of the demonstration field, and a person could be seen slowly rising from the hole.
In the instant that his apparatus was activated, Jiao Si's aura suddenly changed, as though he were a different person!
If Jiao Si had been like an ordinary citizen before, then Jiao Si was like an unsheathed sword, sharp and threatening!
"Jiao Si, it's Jiao Si!"
Everyone's curiosity had been piqued to the extreme.
Fang Shi might have been the least famous of the three, but that ace was the most mysterious of the three. He was like a shooting star, streaking across the sky and disappearing.
Madam Zhi Lian suddenly opened her mouth, "Yanbai, help me count how many energy beads there are."
…
Liang Qiu, the commander of the 12th Army Corps, was the only one of the 12 Army Corps who had been born as a civilian. His individual martial prowess was so strong that he would definitely be ranked in the top three among the commanders of the 12 Army Corps.
Jie Yanbai seemed to have realized something. "Could it be that the owner of the auction house has a close relationship with Mr. Jiao?"
Jie Yanbai's eyes were burning as he stared at the field, his hands slightly trembling.
Those who participated in the auction could watch the demonstration with their own eyes. If they thought it was hard to see through the layer of energy cloak, they could use the equipment on the seats.
On the screen that popped up, they could clearly observe every detail of the demonstration from any angle.
Among those 300 challenges, he had won 290, drew seven, and lost three. Such an impressive record would be dazzling no matter which card artisan it was.
Just look at the three people he had defeated: Tang Hanpei, Liang Qiu, and Fang Shi.
Jiao Si had been famous for more than a decade.
As the dean of the card artisan branch, he had not only cultivated many young but rather powerful card artisans, but he had also accepted all kinds of challenges, saying that he hoped to sharpen his skills.
In the five years that he had been the dean of the card artisan branch, he had accepted up to 300 challenges, big and small, averaging one challenge every six days.
Those who entered the field took their seats according to the entry number they had purchased. Many of them couldn't wait to turn on the screen on their seats.
Pa! There was a sound that was so light that it was almost negligible, like the sound of an egg breaking.
Madam Zhi Lian shook her head with a smile. "When you meet Mr. Jiao, you will understand what kind of person he is.
If it weren't for the strangeness of this card, I'm afraid Jiao Si would never have agreed to appear. "
Five years ago, Jiao Si resigned from his position as dean and retired to the second line, assuming the post of dean of the card artisan branch.
