Supreme Warrior in the City

Chapter 319: Chapter 318: Rebirth with a Broken Leg

”Today, I will let you regrow this leg!”

With one sentence, the entire room was astonished.

”Did I hear that wrong, what is he going to do?”

”He’s going to make this person regrow his leg? How is that even possible? It’s been seven or eight years since he lost his leg, how could it possibly regrow?”

”This is simply impossible in medical terms, he... he isn’t just blowing hot air, is he?”

”If he really has this ability, then these Dragon-Phoenix Jade Rings must be something extraordinary!”

Master Hu paid no attention to the crowd’s exclamations, as he took out the Phoenix Ring and handed it over to the man.

The man, half-believing and half-doubtful, put the Phoenix Ring on his wrist. Master Hu, without any hesitation, directly tore open the man’s trouser leg, revealing the amputated limb beneath.

His leg had been amputated from the knee down, leaving nothing but empty space below. The wound had long since calloused over from years of rubbing—a clear sign that this was not a recent injury.

”Everyone, watch closely!” Master Hu took a deep breath, gathered his energy, focused his mind, and suddenly placed his hand on the Phoenix Ring.

As Master Hu made his move, the red light emanating from the Phoenix Ring shone even more intensely. Under the stimulation of this red light, the man began to scream in agony, as if enduring immense pain.

”Regrowth is by no means an easy feat. If you want to regrow this leg, you’ll have to endure this pain,” Master Hu said in a cold voice.

The man clenched his teeth tightly—after all, compared to regrowing his leg, this pain was nothing.

Still, in just a short time, the man was drenched in sweat.

Suddenly, Fatty, who was standing beside them, exclaimed, ”My God, his... his wound is moving!”

The crowd looked closely and, sure enough, they saw the amputated part of the man’s leg writhing ever so slowly, as if something was struggling to break free from inside.

It didn’t take long before the man’s leg began to grow. A lower leg slowly emerged from where the amputation had been, then gradually enlarged and took shape. Eventually, it became identical to his other leg.

The onlookers were in uproar, shocked beyond belief that a leg had truly regrown—a feat that defied nature. If they hadn’t witnessed it with their own eyes, none of them would have believed it possible!

The man himself was so overwhelmed he was on the verge of tears, and with a trembling voice, he said, ”I really didn’t expect... my leg could actually grow back. It’s been seven or eight years. I never even dreamed this could happen...”

No sooner had he spoken than he tried to stand up to walk. But as soon as he took one step, he fell to the ground with a thud.

The crowd was taken aback. Was the new leg not functional?

Master Hu frowned and said, ”What’s the rush? A leg that has just grown out won’t have the circulation of blood and qi throughout the body yet, so of course, it will lack strength. Besides, how many years has it been since you’ve walked on two legs? Aren’t you out of practice? You have to take it slow; you can’t be impatient!”

”Right!” The man nodded vigorously, and, supporting himself against the wall, he slowly stood up. While feeling the sensations in his leg, he began to walk step by step. Eventually, he managed to let go of the wall and walked on his own. Although he was unsteady, the leg was indeed functional!

The onlookers’ eyes nearly popped out of their sockets, amazed that the leg created with the Phoenix Ring was no different from a normal leg. My goodness, what kind of incredible treasure was this?

The man paced back and forth excitedly, his face full of exhilaration. He suddenly turned to Master Hu, ”Master, it was you who healed my leg, and there isn’t much I can do to express my gratitude. How about this? I’ll buy the Dragon-Phoenix Rings and give them to you as a thank-you gift, what do you say?”

Everyone was slightly restless—their eyes were on these exquisite items, yearning for them. But, no one dared to compete with Master Hu!

”There’s no need for that!” Master Hu shook his head, ”While the Dragon-Phoenix Rings are indeed Superior Magic Artifacts, they are auxiliary in nature and not very useful to me. I neither desire power nor have any need to rejuvenate, so they would be useless in my hands!”

This statement eased the crowd’s nerves while igniting their excitement even further. Master Hu belonged to those ascetic sages beyond the worldly fray; he didn’t need power or rejuvenation, but the others did—they craved these things.

”But, without being in your hands, Master, the Dragon-Phoenix Jade Rings wouldn’t have the same effect!” the man said, ”It would be a waste for anyone else here to have them. It’s better off being gifted to you, Master!”

The crowd paused, realizing his point. It was Master Hu who had used the Phoenix Ring to regenerate the man’s leg. Without Master Hu, who among them could utilize the Dragon-Phoenix Jade Rings?

”That’s where you’re mistaken!” Master Hu chuckled, ”If you wear the Phoenix Ring yourself, your severed leg would regrow within three days. All I did was stimulate the power of the Phoenix Ring to hasten the regeneration of your leg.”

The crowd felt a rush of relief. So without Master Hu, they could still use the Dragon-Phoenix Jade Rings themselves—that was the best news, leaving them with nothing to worry about.

”Master, how much do you think the Dragon-Phoenix Jade Rings are worth?” Fatty eagerly asked.

”Well...” Master Hu pondered before responding, ”At this auction today, these are the most valuable items present. As for putting a specific price on them, I really couldn’t say.”

”The Dragon Ring can elevate a person’s power to its zenith, while the Phoenix Ring can virtually guarantee a century of life. For ordinary people, these are the ultimate treasures. Their specific value, well, that depends on how much you value power and longevity!”

The crowd exchanged looks. How could one possibly put a price on power and life?

Though Master Hu had not stated a price, he had clearly conveyed to the people that the Dragon-Phoenix Jade Rings were priceless, worth any amount of money!

”Ten billion!” All of a sudden, Fatty burst out with an offer, ”I bid ten billion!”

”Eleven billion!” Before anyone from the Zhou Family could react, someone immediately raised the bid.

”Twelve billion!”

”Fifteen billion!”

”Eighteen billion...” The stated price skyrocketed as the affluent attendees almost went mad. Such rare treasures were hard to come by. Even if spending tens of billions would stretch their resources thin, getting their hands on the Dragon Ring meant they could swiftly recoup their expenses. No matter the cost, it would be worthwhile!

Everyone was determined to win the Dragon-Phoenix Jade Rings; the bids soared beyond fifty billion in no time.

But at this point, the number of bidders dwindled; after all, among those present, there weren’t many with over fifty billion in assets.

However, as the auction went on, the increments in the bidding became smaller. It took nearly an hour for the bids to climb from fifty to fifty-five billion.

Just as the bidding reached a stalemate, Su Yang finally stepped out from the crowd and declared loudly, ”Eighty billion!”
