After winning the Staff of Horus, Mark continued to maintain his superiority by sending Eol to the field.

A large part of this contribution goes to the Flag of Huangdi placed in VIP Box number 8 which raised Eol's stats significantly enough to suppress his opponents.

While no one These just four battles brought "Now, the last item of this round. This one is a little special. The item itself is the guardian. Behold the battle robot VIII, a metallic battle puppet made of unknown materials and unknown grade. It is said to have the strength of a legendary realm expert of Fighter Path but doesn't have any skill either. Just like every other puppet, it has to be controlled by its master as long as it is within a 300-meter range. You can also teach martial arts techniques to this puppet to improve its fighting ability. Unlike humans, it doesn't age. In a battle, it doesn't hesitate to kill your enemy no matter who it is. Most importantly, it absolutely stays loyal to its master.

But, those who are interested in this puppet must understand that it needs a heavy amount of electricity as food.

However, what makes it stand apart from other battle puppets is that this one's control could be controlled by more than one person and you can pass it down to someone else. The secret of its controls and its other hidden functions is only to be revealed to the buyer as requested by the seller.

Coming to the rules of the battle, first of all, only those with cultivations lower than the Suprrealm are eligible to challenge it. Secondly, the challengers merely have to throw it off from this platform and they win. The starting bid price for this item is 100,000 gold coins and 10,000 for every bid-raise. Let's the bidding begin."

As soon as she finished the description, more than a dozen paddles were raised in the air, but only one was lit up as it turned out to be the fastest by just a fraction of a millisecond.

"Buyout," The imperial prince's voice was heard for the first tsince the beginning of the auction.

Even Xin Rui was taken aback by the announcement. "These bastards…" She muttered her breath before forcefully calming herself down and announcing, "Since a buyout was called, no more bids were allowed henceforth."

"Congratulations, Tang Weimin on winning the bid for the challenge for 10,000,000 gold coins. Please pay the amount and send the challenger with the token."

VIP Box no. 12;

"You did it, Grandpa Lao," The young prince smiled in happiness as he looked to the side. There was an old man who had the paddle in his hands.

"Now, go and bring that puppet," He ordered the old man who was at the peak stage of the legendary realm.

"Your Highness," As the expert bowed to him and left the room, the prince who was representing the Imperial family clenched his fist as he looked at the 6-foot robot with a strange appearance, "If Grandpa Lao wins it, I can secretly keep it for myself. As long as I use my own money, I can give an excuse that Grandpa Lao was the one who paid the money and fought it. Since he is not a servant of the imperial family, even my brother cannot order him to hand it over."

Meanwhile, at Box No. 8;

"Nothing…" Mark shook his head. He was about to say 300 million but since the princess stated a higher figure, Mark couldn't bring himself to tell the sthing. He said, "It is indeed worth such a figure but I'm just worried that people might not be able to take out such an amount."

Song Yue looked thrilled after the buyout was called. Shaking his arms, she expressed her delight, "It's 10 million, Markie. Imagine if he loses now. It will atleast get 100 million easily."

Mark calmly shook his head, "100 million is just…"

He was about to say something; Princess Shen Ling interrupted him with a bold statement, "I won't be surprised if it gets sold for even 500 million, Sister Yue. Hmm? Were you saying something?"

"Nothing…" Mark shook his head. He was about to say 300 million but since the princess stated a higher figure, Mark couldn't bring himself to tell the sthing. He said, "It is indeed worth such a figure but I'm just worried that people might not be able to take out such an amount."

"Well, that is also true," Shen Ling nodded in agreement.

"What if it sells at a lower amount than even 100 million? You know, those truly wealthy could collude to bring down the amount," Sylvandria pointed out the most obvious flaw here.

Mark let out a sigh in response, "Then, we will just have to let it be and make sure to not use this platform to sell my things ever again. We already made enough profits in the challenge round. So, it shouldn't be a big deal."

"I hope it doesn't cto that," commented Song Yue.

What they didn't know is that Mark now had a debt of 100 million gold coins with the system with 1% high interest (1 million gold coins) per week. Since he doesn't have such huge money in his account to unlock the Rank-8 Battle robot in the gallery, he has to accept the system's proposal.

As he wasn't selling the robot at the store, he had to create the robot and buy it for himself with 10 million gold coins before listing it at this auction.

Now, in his account, there were only a bit more than three hundred thousand credits and a little more than a million gold coins.

So, whatever he gets from this auction, he intends to take it and pay back the debt as quickly as possible. The remaining shall be compensated with the semi-divine weapons in his inventory.

While he is confident that the robot will be winning this round, he wants it to be a completely one-sided fight. The more this battle drags on, the more its price will reduce later on.

But, what if this battle ends up in the challenger's victory? Then, he will have to sell a lot of advanced weapons to compensate for the losses.

Of course, it is just a worst-case scenario. Mark wasn't interested in seeing it.

Hence, he opened the inventory and had his eyes fixated on the Flag of Huangdi.

He was in the dilemma of whether to use the Flag of Huangdi on the Robot or not. It was different with Eol as the latter was the challenger.

If he gets caught now, no one would dare attack him but his reputation will get hit. It is the last thing he wants.

"Should I do it? Or should I wait and see?" As he was thinking about whether he should do it or not, his eyes fell on the old man who took out his weapon. A sudden idea popped up in his head.

"System, activate remote control function. Equip R-77 with Ogre Emperor's Club."

A titanium club with Mythril spikes appeared in the hands of the robot, taking the spectators by surprise.
