Supreme BeastTamer: I Can Copy and Upgrade Skills 10x!

As soon as Anya revealed the hawk, all eyes turned toward it with a mixture of fascination and awe.

The flaming hawk was beautiful, graceful yet dangerous. Not only that, but the temperature of the room seemed to rise several degrees, causing big beads of sweat to slide down the faces of those present.

A few even wondered why the cage hadn't been incinerated. It was only after seeing the runic patterns embedded on the cage that they realized it wasn't ordinary. The obsidian bars were reinforced with intricate fire-resistant runes, glowing faintly as they absorbed the intense heat radiating from the hawk. These runes not only contained the creature's fierce flaming aura but also ensured that its power didn't lash out uncontrollably, potentially harming the audience.

Whispers immediately enveloped the hall.

"That aura… an Emperor-Tier elemental beast!" someone exclaimed, their eyes widening in disbelief, though their voice was filled with awe.

"I've heard stories about the black market auction's influence, but capturing a live elemental beast of this caliber? That's a whole different level of power!" another person said.

"Damn, this must be the special item!" another voice chimed in, brimming with certainty.

Most of those present were regular attendees, and this was the first time a live elemental beast had been brought to the auction house.

Among everyone present, it could be said that the most excited person was Nox. A wide smile spread across his handsome face as he quickly used Analyze on the beast.

'Such powerful skills and cool evolution paths.' Nox's entire body was now literally trembling. Wendy, who was seated close to him, looked at him with slight concern, even though she knew the reason for his excitement.

One might wonder why the black market auction decided to bring a live elemental beast when only its elemental core was needed. Nox knew the answer to this question too well.

It was because of the experience points! Killing an elemental beast granted an insane amount of experience points—enough to make one jump several levels! And the best part of all this was that the runes placed on the cage were restraining the beast, making it relatively easy to kill.

Considering all this, Nox could already tell that the elemental beast would be sold for a staggering amount. His gaze lingered on the beast for a good two minutes before shifting back to Anya.

"Behold!" Anya announced with an exaggerated wave of her hand, trying to sound as impressive as possible. "The Infernal Emberhawk! This is no mere bird—it's an Emperor-Tier Fire Elemental Beast! Look at it! Isn't it magnificent?"

The hawk let out a shrill cry, and its wings flared open, releasing a gust of heat that spread outward. Trails of fire followed its movements, leaving faint scorch marks on the bars of the cage. It was both mesmerizing and terrifying.

But the next moment, the runes on the cage bars lit up, and the scorch marks faded. The Infernal Emberhawk flinched back from the bars, its eyes filled with a mixture of agony and fear. However, this emotion was very brief, as the next moment, it glared at Anya, who was closest to it, with cold murderous intent, as if it wanted to tear through the bars of the cage and incinerate her with its flames.

Nox, who was several steps away, frowned as he sensed the intense hatred. "This much hate… if it finds a way to free itself, it will certainly attack her first…"

He narrowed his eyes and pondered thoughtfully. 'Could it be that she was the one who captured it?'

In the end, Nox decided to stop thinking about it. It wasn't important. His priority was to claim this beast as his pet at all costs.

"Now, let me tell you what makes this beast so special," Anya continued, clearly enjoying her moment in the spotlight. "The Infernal Emberhawk isn't just about looks—it has power! With its unique skill, Inferno Tempest, it can summon a whirlwind of fire, turning anything in a 500-meter radius to ash! And if you think killing it will stop it—think again! Its Phoenix Rebirth ability lets it rise from its own ashes, good as new, once every lunar cycle!"

There was a pause as the hawk gave another screech, its flames flaring brighter. The temperature in the room noticeably rose.

Some people gasped, while others whispered excitedly. Clearly, many wanted it—but not everyone had the funds for a creature like this.

Anya smiled, her tone becoming playful as she added, "So, who will be the lucky—or should I say, wealthy—one to take this fiery marvel home?"

"The starting bid is… 5,000,000 gold coins!"

Before she could even finish, someone yelled,

"5,500,000!"

"6,000,000!"

The room quickly turned into a frenzy of shouting, with bidders fighting tooth and nail for the Emberhawk.

'As expected.' Nox grimaced, his heart squeezing when he heard the starting price, even though he had anticipated it.

The bidding war erupted like a storm.

"6,500,000!" a loud, confident voice shouted from the main hall.

"7,000,000!" another voice quickly followed, sharp and decisive, almost as if the bidder thought they were already victorious.

The crowd was electric, their gazes darting from one bidder to the next. Some whispered in awe, others just shook their heads, knowing they didn't stand a chance.

"7,500,000!"

"8,000,000!"

The numbers rose rapidly, and the tension in the room thickened. Many who had hoped to participate earlier were now quietly retreating, realizing they were far out of their league.

Meanwhile, inside the VIP box, Nox was beginning to get anxious as he watched the price climb rapidly. He couldn't help but doubt if he would be able to obtain the powerful elemental beast and make it his pet.
