Omni-Mastery

Chapter 254 - Dual?

"So as to match our slogan, I present you our last item for today's auction…"

"The Unique 'Omni Crystal' Collection!"

"Hmmm?"

"What's that supposed to be?"

"Is it a collection of elemental crystals…?"

"How long has it been since elemental crystals have been included in this auction…?"

"Well, it's usually only grade 3 elemental crystals and above that qualify to appear in this auction, but I wonder of which element would these crystals be…"

"The name seems to hint at something…"

The auctioneer didn't reveal the item from the very beginning, seemingly leaving the participants a chance to guess and get more excited to know what was this collection supposed to hold…

"Could it be…?"

Still, he didn't wait to long before he revealed the veil off the collection, revealing the whole collection of 111 elemental crystals put in a unique way to show their allure, while emphasising the main 10 grade 2 crystals.

Elemental Crystals are originally transparent as if they were a piece of glass, which would change color according to its attribute once one touched it, so one wouldn't be able to guess the crystals' attribute from first glance…

As for the Pseudo 'Omni-Element' elemental crystals of mine, their unique trait was that they changed color according to the holder's attribute, which is why inspecting it normally didn't prove it to be any special as one had to inspect it using mental energy.

So at this point, in the eyes of the spectators, this auction closer was…

"Huh? Aren't these simple grade 1 & 2 crystals…?"

"Their number isn't something special as well, did the auction house simply run out of items or something…?"

"Is this some sort of joke?!"

Inadequate!

Imagine you were expecting to get a birthday cake for your birthday party, only to find that they got you a cupcake with a candle above it, however, while in birthday parties, it's normally the thought was what matters, that wasn't the case in such a premium auction that had the strongest powers in the whole domain participating in it…

"Please calm down, esteemed guests, as I already noted, these of course aren't normal elemental crystals, as for why they are unique, please allow me to display it to you before explaining further."

"Oh, so they are planning to end it with a small show!"

"Interesting…"

The noise started to go down after the auctioneer's few words, waiting for him to prove what he has just said…

Clap. Clap.

The auctioneer clapped lightly with his hands as a man and a woman duo dressed iclad in heavy armor came from behind the curtain.

They both bowed slightly before heading towards the site where the crystals are displayed as they both grabbed one crystal from the same place but at different ends without hesitation…

As the crystals came in contact with their hands, the only bare part of their body, the transparent color started to change. Of course, they didn't change to the same color as the one in the female warrior's hand changed to a pale blue color, while the one in the male warrior's hand changed to red…

"Hmmm… a collection of varied elemental crystals…?"

"That does indeed same a bit hard to come by, but doesn't that make it useless?!"

"Maybe it's meant to be a collections item, after all they named as such from the beginning…"

The inexperienced sect members who seemed to have participated in this auction for the first time already started making guesses without waiting for the auctioneer's confirmation that the display was done, but as the voices from the VIP booths were mostly silent, the auctioneer gestured for the duo to continue with what they were doing…

The duo warriors nodded before exchanging the crystals in their hands, as the color of the crystals disappeared for an instant before another color took over…

"Eh?!"

"What…?"

The same inexperienced sect members showed their own expression of disbelief before a voice came from one of the VIP booths which caused the newbies to fall silent for a few seconds…

"A 'Dual-Element' elemental crystal! One that contains two elements that have polar opposite characteristics as well!"

"To think I would actually find it here! Hahaha, this type of elemental crystals was mentioned in my Yin Yang Scripture. fellow practitioners, I hope you won't fight with me for this as it's vital to my Yin Yang sect's development, I will be sure this favor as soon as possible!"

"Don't worry, Master Yang! Since it's such a crucial item for your sect, we won't trouble you then, not that it's going to be that useful for us anyway!"

"Indeed!"

"Congratulations for finding a fated treasure!"

As the vigorous voice announced his own false deduction, voices came out from other VIP booths as to congratulate the vigorous master Yang and show their support…

'Luckily, it isn't what they think it is, or else I might have lost a lot as no one seems to want to mess with that master Yang.'

"The Elemental Blade Sect will compete for it fairly."

'Oh!'

However, it seemed that the 'Elemental Blade Sect' had another say as it seemed they didn't plan to give face for that master Yang…

"Humph, why are you not announcing the minimum bid already?!"

Clearly annoyed by the reaction of the 'Elemental Blade Sect', Yang defused his anger by shouting at the auctioneer.

Yet, as if to display he isn't a pushover as well, the auctioneer simply ignored Yang's protest as he himself walked back to the display site and took both crystals from the duo…

"Why you… huh?!"

The annoyed Yang who was about to fly from anger as he was not only ignored once or twice could only shut up briefly as the color of the crystal changed once again to a green cyan color…

"It can't be… if it isn't a 'Dual-Element' elemental crystal, then… then… the name implied at the beginning really meant…?"

The dumbfounded and intermittent voice of the person who judged the elemental crystals to be 'Dual-Element' elemental crystals at first sounded out as it threw the participants into a bigger wave of confusion...
