I'm not just human!

The old fruit was only the size of an apple, and the silver-white metal humanoid figure was only about eight centimeters tall.

However, that lithe body, seemingly forged from mithril, exuding a terrifying destructive power within every muscle, and possessing a ferocious yet majestic domineering aura, all foreshadowed one thing…

This ancient fruit... is strongly related to the overlord-level secret contract of the "Silver Throne"!

"This should be the 'Rhine Sigh Fruit'... if I'm not mistaken."

"That's right, it's the Fruit of the Rhine Sigh, an ancient fruit that allows the signatories of the Silver Throne to... master one more primordial technique!"

"It is said that this is the result of the blood of the Ancient Ruler Rhine Calamity, which was hunted down by Absolute Defense, spilling onto extraordinary fruits or plants after his death. Moreover, the probability of this happening is extremely small."

"That's right. However, the Rhine Sigh Fruits are basically formed by absorbing only one or two drops of blood from the [Rhine Catastrophe]. According to the 'Silent Scrolls,' there are even rarer and more precious ancient fruits that have directly absorbed a large chunk of the flesh and blood of the [Rhine Catastrophe]!"

"So... wouldn't those old fruits be the most precious treasures among treasures for every Silver Throne signatory?"

"That's right. All the Old Fruits of the [Rhine Calamity] lineage, as well as the Divine Blood Fruits tainted with the blood of Lord [Absolute Defense], are supreme treasures that the Silver Throne signatories dream of but can never obtain!"

"It's a pity that in this era, Silver Throne signatories are almost nowhere to be seen, and none have been born for a long time."

"Yes, except for Caesar, who won the Super Fighting Grand Prix..."

These powerful superhumans, with just a few words, had already made many young people fully understand the value of the ancient fruit in Xia Fa's hands.

In a sense, this is priceless to the signatories of the Silver Throne.

However, it seems somewhat useless to young overlords and extraordinary monarchs who have signed other overlord-level secret agreements.

“Young man, I… offer nine million gold pounds. Do you think you'd be willing to sell? To be honest, I'm not going to use it myself. After all, I could never be a Silver Throne signatory; that's just a pipe dream. I'm planning to keep it as a family heirloom for our Kotley family. What if one of my descendants becomes a Silver Throne signatory in the future?”

One of the extraordinary monarchs tentatively offered a price that everyone considered quite reasonable.

Instantly, other rulers or extraordinary monarchs began bidding up the price.

“Then I’ll offer 9.05 million gold pounds. I’ll also keep it as a family heirloom, haha.”

"This is an old fruit! Look at your stingy attempts to raise the price so little. Here's the deal: I'll offer nine million three hundred thousand gold pounds! Young man, one word: sell or not?"

"Nine and a half million gold pounds! This old fruit is mine."

"Don't try to take it from me, it's nine million six hundred thousand gold pounds!"

Xia Fa wore a quiet smile, waiting for the crowd to raise the bids, hoping to win a possible prize.

After all, the Old Fruit corresponding to the Nine-Colored Light is likely the highest value among all the traveling whales that can be dissected here. The final value will be determined based on everyone's bids and Fukuzawa Ren's personal review.

Unless Nerva can perform extraordinary feats and extract twelve colors of light from the belly of some alien traveling whale...

Meanwhile, Xia Fa's joy grew stronger and stronger.

The Fruit of the Rhine Sigh... allows me to master another fundamental technique of the Silver Throne...

This is arguably an even greater find than the previously dissected Cherry-sized Secret Titanium!

Of course he couldn't sell it; in fact, he wanted to eat it right away.

This doesn't just transform the Silver Throne's secret abilities; it directly adds another fundamental secret technique!

The original secret technique like the Judgment of Silver Sun!

Chapter 241 Is Shafa Caesar? Is Caesar Shafa?

"call--"

Slowly exhaling a long breath, suppressing the joy in his heart, Xia Fa felt more and more that he had made the right choice in coming to this whale watching event!

I'll be back next year!

Seeing that the speed at which the rulers and extraordinary monarchs were raising their prices had begun to slow down, Xia Fa raised his hand to stop them.

"Alright, alright, everyone, thank you for appreciating this ancient fruit I've dissected, but I'm sorry, I'm not selling it."

Upon hearing Xia Fa's words, for some reason, the rulers and extraordinary monarchs seemed to breathe a sigh of relief.

He was slightly puzzled, but after a moment's thought, he understood.

The reason is simple: of the twenty-two extraordinary continents on the planet Calig, eleven are in a state of complete chaos and disorder, with various forces of all sizes rising up and secret organizations running rampant.

The powerful forces among them far surpassed kingdoms like the Kingdom of Augu, while the weaker forces were no match for a group of bandits who had temporarily assembled.

Those eleven extraordinary continents, also known as "lawless lands," were far more chaotic than the Baron Ocean, but of course, they also offered more opportunities.

Most of the rulers and extraordinary monarchs at this whale watching event came from the lawless land.

On the other hand, the other eleven extraordinary continents on Caligi are in a state of orderly peace and prosperity.

Five of them were occupied by the ancient alchemical kingdoms, three belonged to the Institute of Natural Disasters, and two belonged to the Myriad Machines School.

The remaining extraordinary continent, which is the Star Coin Continent, was divided among the Augu Kingdom, the Wave Moon Empire, and the Cloth Bag Dynasty.

In this situation, the ancient alchemy kingdom, the Cataclysmic Research Institute, and the Myriad Machines School—these three behemoths on Caligi—are naturally constantly engaged in open and covert struggles.

The same applies to the various forces, large and small, from this lawless land.

Therefore, for these rulers and extraordinary monarchs, watching others buy the "Fruit of Rhine Sigh" that they possess, which can serve as the foundation of a major power and a family heirloom, is certainly very displeasing.

In other words, for these rulers and extraordinary monarchs, it doesn't matter whether they have their own power or not, but they absolutely cannot have the power of others!

Therefore, seeing that they were now certain they wouldn't sell, they actually breathed a sigh of relief.

"Hey... young man, your name is Xia Fa, right? Do you know Caesar?"

Suddenly, a doctor dressed in a white coat stepped forward and asked a question with great curiosity.

Everyone recognized him; he was the director of the lawless "Psychological Anatomy Hospital," a force to be reckoned with even in this lawless place.

Xia Fa looked at it strangely and said with a smile:

"Is it because Caesar is the signatory to the Silver Throne?"

The director of the psychoanatomy hospital nodded:

"That's right, it's a pity. I was busy dissecting a Faceless Howler at the time. Such an anomaly is rare to encounter, but it is also difficult to dissect. So I was unable to make it to the Super Fighting Grand Prix to witness the brilliance of the Silver Throne signatory."

Upon hearing the mention from the director of the Psychoanatomical Hospital, several angels and rulers in the Dominator-level whale watching room suddenly seemed to remember something and frowned slightly.

Their gazes all focused on Xiafa at the same time.

To be precise, it was on Xia Fa's face.

I feel like I've seen this face before... a few days ago...

At that time, after the Super Fighting Grand Prix ended, all the spectators from all over the universe were sent back, leaving only a few dozen locals from Caligi.

These locals were actually randomly brought over.

After all, at that time, only the angelic overlords were wandering around the solar volcano, and there was no one else. The overlords had reached a tacit agreement not to disturb the young people's struggle for the Golden Beacon Scroll, since it was not their turn anyway.

However, among these dozens of people, there were several important figures who could enter the master-level whale watching room.

When they saw Patriarch Osius appear, they left in haste without having a chance to observe Caesar, who had emerged from the golden palace and whose appearance and height had completely changed.

But now, the more I look at Xia Fa's face... the more it reminds me of Caesar after his appearance has drastically changed.

These important figures were neither certain nor willing to point it out rashly, but seeing that Xiafa was unwilling to sell the Rhine Sigh Fruit, they had already guessed a bit of what was going on.

"Wait, Mr. Shafa...you...you wouldn't happen to be Caesar himself, would you?"

Suddenly, a short, fat, bald man touched his smooth head, as if he had finally figured something out, and stared with wide eyes, letting out a strange cry of surprise.

The important figures who had speculated about the connection between Xia Fa and Caesar were all taken aback and looked at the short, fat, bald man.

The short, stout, bald man, dressed in a red and white sales assistant uniform, stared at Xia Fa with an expression of disbelief, his eyes gleaming with excitement.

Without a doubt, this short, stout, bald sales assistant was one of the dozens of locals from Caligiri who were dragged to watch the Super Fighting Grand Prix.

Logically speaking, someone who appears to be merely an Insect-level transcendent should not be qualified to enter a Dominator-level whale-watching house.

But ironically, he was a sales associate at the Gold Miners' Guild...

The crowd fell silent for a moment. Among the extraordinary individuals present, some might lack life experience, but almost none of them were fools.

Seeing how close Shafa had been to Tefaro and Kazimierz, two geniuses from the Earthly Kingdom of the [Silver Universe], and now that he was unwilling to sell the Rhine Sigh Fruit, which was only available to those who signed the Silver Throne...

In an instant, many people suddenly understood something.

“No wonder, no wonder, Brother Xiafa, you can’t really be Caesar, can you? That makes sense. No wonder you wouldn’t sell.”

"Caesar! This young man is actually Caesar? My God, I've finally met him in person!"

"Is this really the Caesar of Tefal who has defeated Casimir, the Clown of Laughter, and Tefaro in succession? He's young and promising!"

"Still calling him Caesar? Now you should call him Shafa!"

"Oh right, Mr. Xiafa, would you be interested in visiting our ancient alchemy kingdom? His Majesty Nahoron is in the tourist area. If you're willing, I'll take you to see him right away and bestow upon you a royal title! You'll even have the right to your first night in your territory!"

"Instead of going to the ancient alchemy kingdom, come to our Natural Disaster Research Institute, Brother Xia Fa. We can help you develop a complete and scientific Silver Throne Secret Contract ability development plan, as long as you become one of us!"

"Why don't you just come to our Insightful Gathering? Go ask around in the lawless lands and see who dares to disobey our Insightful Gathering. You definitely won't regret coming!"

"Coincidentally, our Psychological Anatomy Hospital disagrees."

"Sorry, we at Chaotic Trojan don't agree either."

“Count me in, we, the Hand of Balance, are not happy either.”

"you……"

"Xia Fa, to be honest, why don't you just come to our Chaotic Trojan Horse? We can truly walk sideways in a lawless place!"

Seeing that these powerful superhumans immediately started clamoring and all wanted Rashafa to join them.

In the tourist area, Arthur, the chairman of the Myriad Machines School, shook his head with a wry smile, preparing to get up and end this farce.

However, out of the corner of his eye, he noticed that Marshal Gaius seemed completely stunned.

Marshal Gaius stood there stunned on the sofa, still holding the cigar between his two fingers, but as if he had forgotten to smoke it. His eyes were glazed over, and his hands were trembling slightly.

"Gaius, what's wrong?"

Given Shafa's identity as the future Emperor of Mystery, Arthur naturally wanted to win over Gaius, since Shafa was a member of the Augustus family.

Moreover, Gaius's steady nature and military-like efficiency were very much to Arthur's liking.

So, at this moment, Arthur naturally inquired with concern.

Unexpectedly, Marshal Gaius seemed not to have heard His words. His eyes shone, but his lips turned white, as if he was simultaneously overwhelmed by the emotions of surprise and disbelief, wanting to confirm yet not daring to.
