The auction is underway on Island 21.

"The next item up for auction will grant one recommendation qualification for entry into the Temple of Myriad Realms."

"It's finally here. This is what I've been waiting for."

There were quite a few people interested in this qualification at the auction. As soon as the auctioneer started speaking, about 20 people could be seen to take their expressions seriously.

"I'll take the tomahawk rifle for 100 million. Please do me the honor."

"Two million? Who do you think you are? If you don't have the money, get out!"

"400 million, this spot is mine, no one can compete with me for it."

"500 million, a spot is valuable, but life is more precious!"

"........."

Yi Shuihan calmly watched the people vying for the spots, feeling slightly pleased, since the fiercer the competition, the stronger his Myriad Realms Temple would be.

However, these people are destined to be disappointed this time; the spot will definitely go to Yi Shuihan.

When the price rose to 1000 million, which is the usual price for a spot in a regular auction, Yi Shuihan finally spoke.

"2000 million!"

The announcement of the 2000 million bid caused a brief silence, considering that the highest price previously achieved at auction was only 1300 million. This 2000 million bid clearly exceeded the original value of the spot.

"20 million, is there anything higher? If not, the spot goes to this guest. 3, 2, 1."

"clang"

With that, Yi Shuihan successfully secured the spot, and no other dramatic incidents occurred.

Indeed, for an auction house like this, the auction of limited spots is only of medium value among the auction items and cannot cause a big stir. Besides, someone who can so easily bid 2000 million is obviously not someone to be trifled with. Anyway, there will definitely be more limited spot auctions in the future, so there is no need to mess with Yi Shuihan.

The auction continued. Yi Shuihan originally planned to leave on his own, but he was told that he could only get a spot after the auction ended, so he could only wait patiently.

Robin, on the other hand, watched the auction with great interest, finding it quite novel.

The auction items were incredibly diverse, including many things that Yi Shuihan had never even heard of, which broadened his horizons.

"Next item: Zoan-type Devil Fruit, the Mouse-Mouse Fruit, starting bid 5000 million. Auction begins."

Devil Fruits, interesting! It wasn't a wasted trip!

Yi Shuihan immediately became interested. He had heard that even here, Devil Fruit auctions were rare, sometimes only once a year. He never expected to encounter one himself.

Without hesitation, they made a strong move with the offer of "1 million," demonstrating their determination to win.

A hissing sound rang out. Although a Devil Fruit was worth 1 million, it was rare for someone like Yi Shuihan to add 5000 million directly.

The Rat-Rat Fruit is considered relatively low-grade among Zoan-type Devil Fruits, since a rat's ability isn't very appealing to humans. So when Yi Shuihan offered 1 million, no one else bid, and the Devil Fruit was acquired smoothly.

Chapter 64, Unleashing Domineering Power Without a Word

"It's you!?" Yi Shuihan looked at the familiar figure in front of him in surprise. Wasn't this Rayleigh, the Hades who had caused him trouble in Loguetown?

Yes, the location is the Sabaody Archipelago. He is one of the two 7-star members of the Temple of All Worlds. In addition, this guy is quite shameless. In the original story, he sneaked into the auction house to sell himself in order to make money. Now, selling a spot is not a big deal.

I just wonder if the people at the auction know his exact identity; if they do, that would be even more interesting.

Robin looked at the middle-aged man in front of her with curiosity. Her brother looked surprised. Did they know each other?

Rayleigh recognized Yi Shuihan immediately. Even if Yi Shuihan's appearance hadn't changed much, Rayleigh could still recognize him from his eyes and demeanor. The battle back then was still fresh in his memory, as if it were yesterday.

"You want to join the Temple of All Worlds? You're a Marine, and the youngest Vice Admiral at that." A hint of regret flashed in Rayleigh's eyes. Such a promising talent, it's a real pity that he joined the Marines.

"As far as I know, the Temple of Myriad Realms doesn't care about the original identity of its members," Yi Shuihan said calmly.

Rayleigh was taken aback. Yes, even I could join, let alone others. "Fine, since you've won the qualification at the auction, I'll guide you into the field."

"What special skills do you have? If you have any, tell me. If not, you'll have to take on promotion missions." Rayleigh said, looking at Yi Shuihan with interest. He wanted to know if Yi Shuihan had any special skills.

Seeing Rayleigh's expression, Yi Shuihan smiled and said, "Of course I know! Have you forgotten? Think about it carefully!"

"Huh? What do you mean? Could it be..." Rayleigh paused, as if recalling something, "...that song in the void is your special skill?"

"That's right, do you think that doesn't count?"

Rayleigh had no way to refute it, and to be honest, he was also very curious about Yi Shuihan's skill. How could a song come from the void, and how could that song have other special effects?

"Demonstrate it for me," Rayleigh said, intently sensing his surroundings, trying to discern how Yi Shuihan used that magical skill.

"Then I'll grant your wish." Yi Shuihan didn't take it seriously; he didn't think the other party could see anything.

Robin didn't quite understand the conversation between Yi Shuihan and Rayleigh, but she knew what Yi Shuihan was going to do next, so she became serious.

You are my little apple

Like the most beautiful clouds on the horizon

Spring has arrived again, and flowers are blooming all over the hillsides.

Plant a seed and you will reap a harvest.

I planted a seed

"

The mesmerizing sound rang out, even Yi Shuihan was taken aback, not to mention Lei Li, who had never heard such a mind-bending song before.

The background music is incredibly powerful. Although the song in the void is in Chinese, it conveys the meaning to the listener, so there's no issue of not understanding it.

As one of the most popular songs, "Little Apple" once conquered a large number of middle-aged and elderly people in the world of Yi Shui Han. With its simple and easy-to-understand lyrics and upbeat melody, it made people unconsciously sway and hum along to the song.

Sure enough, Rayleigh couldn't hold back any longer and started moving left and right in response to the voice in the void, like an old lady doing square dancing.

"Huh? How is this possible? I was actually controlled..." After jumping around for a while, Rayleigh looked at Yi Shuihan with a horrified expression. He was completely shocked. This effect was unheard of. If it were used in battle, the power it would unleash would be terrifying. Just thinking about it was frightening.

Of course, the song itself isn't very powerful. With preparation, you can quickly break free from the feeling of wanting to dance along with the song. However, if it's the first time you hear it, there will be at least a momentary opening, and in a battle between experts, that opening can be fatal.

The song seems to be constantly changing; he didn't use this one last time. I wonder what other songs he might be using?

Looking back, Rayleigh discovered that there were already three different songs, and each one should have a different effect, making it impossible to guard against.

A few minutes later, Yi Shuihan deactivated the skill, appearing calm and collected. Little did he know that he himself was shocked by the effect of the "Little Apple" technique; even Rayleigh had been unknowingly affected.

"So, how's it going? How's the joining of the Temple of Myriad Realms going?"

"Ah, oh, no problem, leave it to me." Rayleigh's expression was complicated; he really was an unfathomable boy!

Having reached an agreement, Rayleigh began taking Yi Shuihan to the branch temple of the Myriad Realms Temple.

Speaking of Yi Shuihan's Myriad Realms Temple, it has blossomed all over the world. Wherever there is a little bit of fame, there will be a branch temple, but it is hidden a bit deep.

"The Celestial Dragons are here! Everyone, kneel down!" The once noisy scene on the street immediately fell silent because of this shout. No matter what everyone was doing, their expressions changed upon hearing the name "Celestial Dragons," and they quickly knelt down on the spot.

Parents with young children forced their children to kneel down and covered their mouths, fearing that the children would make a sound and bring disaster upon themselves.

Normally, everything would return to normal after the Celestial Dragons passed by, but this time it was slightly different. Three outstanding figures stood in front of the Celestial Dragons.

"What are they doing?" Robin's clear voice rang out, as melodious as a nightingale's song. She didn't know what the Celestial Dragons represented.

Before Yi Shuihan could explain, the Celestial Dragons spoke first.

"How dare a lowly commoner stand here! Men, kill him!" said a Celestial Dragon who wore bubbles on his head, was incredibly ugly, but had an arrogant expression on his face.

"Yes, Saint Arid."

"Killing people at the drop of a hat, but I like it," Yi Shuihan smiled slightly, intending to see what Rayleigh would do.

Before the Heavenly Dragon's subordinates could arrive, Rayleigh suddenly unleashed an invisible wave that swept across the surrounding area, instantly knocking everyone who was touched by the wave unconscious, as if they had lost their souls.

"Conqueror's Haki!" Yi Shuihan was closest, so he naturally felt it the most. He found that the air around his body seemed to have become several times heavier, pressing down on him, and the thought that the pressure would be relieved if he submitted to it arose in his mind.

Chapter 65, Absorbing Conqueror's Haki?

"What's wrong? What's wrong with you all? Get up!" Saint Arid looked at his men, who were all lying on the ground, in a panic, completely unaware of what had happened.

Even if he was incredibly stupid, Saint Arid knew that his situation was very bad. It was obvious that the people on the other side were up to something. After all, the only ones who were still conscious were himself and the three people on the other side.

"I am a Celestial Dragon, a World Noble, they certainly wouldn't dare to do anything to me!" Saint Aried calmed down considerably. "Hmph, what a bunch of trash. When I get back this time, I'll ask my family for a few capable subordinates and we'll get rid of them."

Yi Shuihan felt immense pressure, while Robin felt nothing at all. Rayleigh's control of his Haki was so exquisite that it had no effect on Robin.

"Trying to intimidate me?" This thought flashed through Yi Shuihan's mind, and he became somewhat angry.

I, Yi Shuihan, am destined to traverse countless worlds. How could I possibly fail in a place like this? So what if I possess Conqueror's Haki? You think you can make me submit? Dream on.

"Suck it in!" Yi Shuihan shouted, and a powerful suction force appeared around him.

“This is…” Rayleigh’s eyes changed. He felt that the Conqueror’s Haki he had released had actually been absorbed into Yi Shuihan’s body. This was simply unbelievable.

When did Conqueror's Haki become something that could be absorbed? This shattered Rayleigh's worldview, leaving him dumbfounded.

"Hey, is there more? I feel like it's not enough!" Rayleigh had already retracted his Conqueror's Haki, and Yi Shuihan looked at Rayleigh expectantly with a satisfied expression.

Originally, it was a sudden inspiration that he thought of absorbing Conqueror's Haki, but he didn't expect that not only did he succeed, but after absorbing it, Yi Shuihan also felt that his mental strength had improved, which was an unexpected surprise.

Rayleigh looked at Yi Shuihan with a strange expression, as if he were looking at a monster. In his eyes, Yi Shuihan was too mysterious. His mysterious skill of making songs appear in the void, and now his absorption of Conqueror's Haki, each of his abilities would shake the world if spoken of.

Especially the absorption of Conqueror's Haki later on. Conqueror's Haki is a special kind of Haki that only one in a million people possesses. It is a proof of a king. If it were just resisting Conqueror's Haki, one could say that the opponent was strong and determined.

Directly absorbing Conqueror's Haki is already astonishing. Conqueror's Haki is an ethereal thing formed from aura. To be able to absorb it? This is several levels higher than being able to use Conqueror's Haki.

"Did you really absorb my Haki just now?" Rayleigh couldn't help but ask.

"Isn't it obvious? Can't you see it? Tsk tsk, can't you tell? You're not old at all! How come you're prematurely aging? This is an illness, it needs treatment!"

"You're the one who's sick, I'm perfectly healthy."

Robin, standing nearby, chuckled.

Rayleigh didn't ask any further questions. Instead, he looked at the Celestial Dragon opposite him, his eyes flashing. Although he wasn't afraid of Celestial Dragons, he was still somewhat wary of them. If he killed one, he would probably be hunted down by the Navy, and his hard-won peaceful life would be shattered.

Let him go? Oh well, I'm getting old! If it were before, I would have killed him outright.

Saint Arid was unaware that his life had already been dealt a close call by Rayleigh, barely escaping with his life. Because Rayleigh and the others had stayed with him for so long, he took this as a sign of contempt and was filled with rage, wishing he could kill the three lowly people in front of him immediately.

"Saint Arid, are you alright?" At this moment, a group of people rushed over.

Upon hearing this, Saint Arid smiled. With reinforcements arriving, he felt more confident. "Derika, seize these three lowly people. I want to turn them into my slaves and torture them to death."

This is courting death! Saint Arid had no idea what tragic fate awaited him because of that one sentence. If there were a pill to undo regrets, he certainly wouldn't mind spending all his savings to buy it.

The new group was led by Delica, a man with a scar on his lip. He was a lackey of the Arid Saint family, in charge of the family's slave trade. He was quite powerful, having reached the rank of lieutenant general, which was generally enough for him to roam freely in the Sabaody Archipelago.

Unfortunately, his current opponents are Rayleigh, the King of the Underworld, and the even more terrifying Yi Shuihan.

"Kill him or kill him?" Yi Shuihan was already filled with murderous intent when he heard Saint Arid say that he would make him a slave. Now that Delika had run into the line of fire, he had run right into the line of fire.

Rayleigh had originally intended to make a move, but upon noticing Yi Shuihan's gaze, he stopped and decided to watch the show.

Yi Shuihan stepped forward without saying a word, facing the dozens of people coming towards him without changing his expression, the coldness in his eyes seemed to pierce through his body.

"Kid, you're out of luck for daring to offend a Celestial Dragon. You'd better cooperate and come with us! Otherwise, you'll be missing an arm or a leg." One of Delika's henchmen shouted as he walked into Yi Shuihan with a cruel expression.

He grabbed Yi Shuihan's shoulder and tried to pull him away, but found that no matter how hard he tried, Yi Shuihan wouldn't budge.

"Dare to underestimate me?" A flash of shame and anger crossed his eyes, and he swung his knife at Yi Shuihan, but he remembered that he wanted to capture him alive, so he didn't aim for a fatal spot.

"clang"

When the knife struck Yi Shuihan, there was no expected gust of blood; the person wielding the knife was sent flying 3 meters backward due to the recoil.

"Oh, I didn't realize you were such a strong fighter?" A glint flashed in Delica's eyes. "You all step back, let me... take over the shooting."

Delika is very skilled at making the enemy think he's going to fight one-on-one, and then taking them by surprise to shoot them. He often succeeds.

"bang bang bang"

Gunshots rang out, and Delica laughed triumphantly, "You really thought I'd fight you one-on-one? I was just teasing you! If I can't handle it, at least you can block bullets."

"Actually, I don't believe it either." Yi Shuihan's voice rang out, and Delika's smile froze on his face. The guns they used were not ordinary ones; they were special ones designed to deal with strong opponents. Even he himself was not confident that he could survive down there.

Could he be fast enough to dodge bullets? This thought immediately crossed Delica's mind, and he subconsciously dismissed the possibility that the other party could withstand the attack head-on.

Chapter 66, This is a sad day

Such powerful Six Styles cultivation! Unlike others, Rayleigh saw it most clearly, but it was precisely because he saw it clearly that he was even more amazed.

"A bunch of trash." The calm voice rang out, instantly darkening Delica's face. A surge of anger burned within him, and he forgot the terror that Yi Shuihan had displayed.

"Kid, you've successfully angered me. Now I'll teach you a lesson." As Delika spoke, his body began to swell irregularly, eventually transforming into a 5-meter-tall giant elephant.

The Devil Fruit, the Elephant-Elephant Fruit, allows the user to transform into an ancient giant elephant, increasing their strength a hundredfold.

After transforming into a giant elephant, Delika became noticeably more agitated, and his eyes gradually turned crazed.
