My Celestial Ascension

Chapter 639 Heavenly Thunder Spear

"Yuan... He actually bid for this treasure. But why? Why would he want a weapon that no one can wield? What's his purpose?" Emperor Philip muttered, his face a mixture of surprise and confusion.

"I-I don't know..." Selena replied with a soft sigh, her gaze fixed on the beautiful silver-and-gold spear now belonging to Yuan. "While I agree they're powerful and shrouded in mystery, I can't fathom why they'd want such a weapon. Only they can answer that."

Daniel, however, broke into a wide grin. Looking at his parents, he said confidently, "Didn't I tell you he'd bid for this treasure? He may wield a massive sword himself, but one of his women uses a golden spear with a similar aura to this one."

"What?!" Priscilla exclaimed, her eyes widening. "Why didn't you tell us this earlier?"

Daniel shook his head and replied, "I did tell everyone here that there were people in the stadium capable of wielding that spear. But none of you believed me, so I thought it wasn't worth saying anything further."

Selena sighed again, her expression tinged with regret. "It's such a shame we couldn't acquire this weapon. It's a significant loss for our empire."

"Indeed," Emperor Philip agreed, his tone heavy with disappointment. "If we'd secured it, we could have used its material to craft two or three powerful magical weapons by combining it with other rare ores."

He paused, his thoughts drifting to a sobering realization. Despite his regret, he knew better than to challenge Yuan. Yuan's elder sister, Valeria, was not only stronger but also far wealthier than he was. She spent her time slaying powerful magical beasts and fighting in fierce battles, accumulating resources beyond his reach.

'Going against Yuan would only lead to a thorough beating from Valeria,' he thought with a wry smile, imagining her wrath. 'And that would mean broken bones and a swollen face.'

Leaning back on the sofa, Philip sighed inwardly. 'Still, this might be for the best. If the other empires or the Ten Great Families had secured this treasure, their strength would have grown considerably. At least Yuan's victory keeps it out of their hands.'

Meanwhile, in another VIP room, Denise was seething with rage. His fist slammed into the table, shattering it with a single blow.

His face burned with fury as he bellowed, "Who the hell is he?! How dare he get in my way?! I'll kill him!"

Taking a deep breath, his voice turned into an impatient roar. "And where is Uncle Gordon?! Why hasn't he returned yet?!"

Denise's rage only grew with every passing moment. His humiliation burned like fire, and his frustration threatened to consume him entirely.

At the same time, Ajex stared intently at VIP room number one, a deep and contemplative look on his face as he furrowed his brows in thought.

"Young Master, what are you thinking? Are you perhaps considering negotiating with them for the treasure?" his protector asked, his own brow knitted in confusion as he tried to discern Ajex's thoughts.

"No," Ajex replied with a sigh, shaking his head. He wasn't confident that the occupants of VIP room number one would even entertain the idea of negotiation.

"But—" his protector began to protest, only for Ajex to cut him off.

"I apologize to VIP Room Number One, but we won't be able to deliver this treasure to your room. I hope you can understand our reasons. After all, this treasure is extremely heavy," Teressa said, her tone apologetic as she tried to sound convincing.

"Don't worry about it, Miss Teressa. And there's no need to take the weapon anywhere—I'll pick it up myself," Yuan's voice suddenly resounded through the stadium, causing an uproar.

Many in the crowd thought Yuan was boasting or acting arrogant. After all, how could anyone possibly lift such a treasure alone, let alone move it? However, a few people, apart from his wives, believed in his words.

"Pick it up? Are you certain?" Teressa asked, visibly shocked. Her voice betrayed her concern, and her expression made it evident. "This treasure can't be lifted by a single person. Even the magic pouch didn't work on it!"

Yuan didn't respond. Instead, he tore through the concealment barrier and slowly floated out of the VIP room. He hovered in the air just outside, shocking everyone who witnessed the scene.

"H-He's flying! He's flying!"

"This is unbelievable! How is he doing that?"

"No human should be able to fly! And I can't sense even a trace of mana from his body! What is this?!"

The stadium filled with shocked murmurs as the crowd stared in disbelief. Yuan was floating effortlessly, defying both gravity and logic, without any visible use of mana.

Even the Ten Great Families, along with other prominent noble and royal families, were in a state of disbelief. Their eyes widened in astonishment, almost as if they might pop out of their sockets.

'H-He can fly?! This is unbelievable! How is he doing this? And why can't I sense any mana from his body, even though he's flying?' Teressa wondered inwardly, her shock evident on her beautiful face.

Yuan slowly descended next to Teressa, a small smile on his face. His eyes were fixed on the beautiful spear lying on the wooden box, its powerful aura making his heart skip a beat.

"Amazing! This is truly beautiful... As expected of an Immortal Grade weapon!" Yuan exclaimed with a wide grin as he approached the spear, completely ignoring Teressa.

'This will suit Vanessa perfectly... She'll look incredible holding this spear,' he thought inwardly, imagining Vanessa wielding the weapon in front of him.

"Heavenly Thunder Spear... What a powerful name. Truly befitting for a Peak Immortal Grade weapon," Yuan exclaimed, his voice full of admiration. He then casually picked up the spear and swung it with the confidence of an expert, as if he had been wielding a spear his entire life.
