Douluo: The Unrivaled Demon Lord

Chapter 32: Suspicious Soul Bone and Shu Yan's Bloodline (Please Read)
"Dear guests, this is the grand finale of this joint auction."

"A soul bone from the trunk of the legendary super soul beast, the Holy Unicorn. Appraised by countless experts at the auction house, this soul bone is nearly perfect in its integrity and is at least 90,000 years old. It is extremely rare in the entire soul bone world."

"No matter how you look at it, this soul bone can definitely be called a treasure of the city. It is also the most precious soul bone that has appeared at auction in my joint auction house in the past thousand years. There is no other such thing, and there is no precedent."

Auctioneer Qingyu's voice was filled with excitement. She was the chief auctioneer selected by the United Auction House in recent years, but such a precious item appeared in the first joint auction she presided over in her life. If this soul bone was successfully sold, she would not only receive a generous bonus, but her position as chief auctioneer would also be greatly consolidated. At least in the next ten years, no one would be able to compete with her for this position based on performance.

After a long silence in the private room, Han Ruoruo said in surprise:

"I never thought that a soul beast like the Holy Unicorn actually existed. I always thought that this kind of soul beast only existed in those historical books..."

While Han Ruoruo and Wu Ming were surprised, Shu Yan's eyes swept over the white soul bone that was emitting a faint golden light inch by inch. After a moment, he seemed to have noticed something and his brows couldn't help but frown.

"Something's not right. The aura of light within this soul bone is too strong. Although the Holy Unicorn also possesses a certain amount of light power, its fundamental attribute is divine, and its power and aura are also dominated by divine attributes. However, the divine power and light power within this soul bone are almost in balance. This situation doesn't conform to common sense. It could even be said that there's something wrong with this soul bone itself..."

As Shu Yan finished speaking, Han Ruoruo took a few steps forward and came to the soul guide screen. After sensing it carefully, her expression changed.

The soul guide screen customized from the Sun-Moon Empire can not only transmit high-definition images in real time, but its special core magic array combined with a rare mineral can also transmit the aura from the other side of the screen. Although the transmission of this aura is not stable, it can be used by soul masters with keen perception to analyze something.

After the initial sense of novelty and surprise in her brain passed, Han Ruoruo immediately discovered that something was wrong.

"Yes, such a rich aura of light... A soul bone from a sacred soul beast should definitely not have such a strong aura of light. Although sacredness and light share some similarities in essence, they are ultimately two different attributes. Not to mention that sacredness, as the dominant attribute, should completely encompass the aura of light. At the very least, light should be revealed within sacredness. But in this situation... Ah Yan, what do you think we should do..."

Han Ruoruo's beautiful eyes were dim, and for a moment no one knew what she was thinking.

"Let's ignore all that for now. No matter what kind of soul beast this soul bone came from or what's behind it, now is not the time to dwell on it. Let's take a picture of it first. Only then will we have room for maneuver."

Shu Yan's tone was firm. Although he could not use this soul bone, Yu Bingyan, who was far away in Lingdou City, was extremely suitable for this soul bone.

Holiness and light are the areas that the angel martial spirit is most proficient in. As far as Shu Yan knows, Yu Bingyan has not yet fused the torso bone. This torso bone seems to be specially prepared for her by God, but Shu Yan needs to step in to get it.

What is certain is that if Yu Bingyan successfully fuses this soul bone, her future path of cultivation will be much smoother, and it will also be much easier when she breaks through to the Titled Douluo level.

"Then let's buy it first. After the auction, I'll ask the auction house manager whether this soul bone is a treasure collected by the auction house or if another force asked the auction house to sell it. We can negotiate then."

Han Ruoruo understood Shu Yan's thoughts and naturally supported them very much.

Yu Bingyan is Shu Yan's mother. If she wants to really succeed with Shu Yan in the future, she will inevitably need his approval. In addition, the two families are on good terms, and Yu Bingyan has taken care of Han Ruoruo before. It is reasonable for her to help.

Wu Ming was completely bewildered. After the auction officially began, she gently tugged at Han Ruoruo's sleeve and whispered, "Sister Ruoruo, why does Shu Yan value this soul bone so much? He knew there were some doubts about it, but he still insisted on bidding for it..."

Han Ruoruo smiled softly as she looked at the soul guide screen, where the numbers changed almost every few seconds, and then whispered:

"Ayan's mother was born into an angel family and possesses a pure angel martial spirit. This spirit bone is very suitable for her. Now that I have encountered such a person, Ayan, as a son, will naturally not let it go."

"What!?"

Wu Ming's eyes widened, and he stared at Shu Yan's back in disbelief. After a long while, he whispered:

"No wonder, no wonder. I was wondering why this guy was so talented. It turns out he had innate advantages since his parents' generation..."

Han Ruoruo chuckled and shook her head, then continued:
"Not only that, Ayan also has the blood of the Douling Royal Family. Speaking of which, Ayan's grandmother was the first child of the previous generation of Douling Emperor. She is also the eldest sister of the current Douling Emperor. According to seniority, the current Douling Emperor is the uncle of Ayan's father, so Ayan has to call him Uncle."

Wu Ming's eyes widened again. This time she was stunned for a long time until Han Ruoruo coughed lightly, which suddenly woke her up.

Han Ruoruo pinched Wu Ming's face and didn't say anything else. They both looked up at the soul guide screen and found that the number on the screen had become 13.2 million gold soul coins.

"Based on the normal auction multiplier, the final transaction price of this soul bone should be around 20 million gold soul coins. If it goes above that, it will exceed the upper limit of nearly 99% of the forces. Those major forces will not bid again unless someone in their forces is particularly suitable for or even needs this soul bone."

Han Ruoruo analyzed softly, coming from a merchant family, she also had a lot of knowledge about auctions.

In fact, Han Ruoruo's prediction was correct. After the bidding price reached around 21 million gold soul coins, the number began to fluctuate much slower, and it did not reach a higher level until the auction was about to end.

At the last moment of the auction, Shu Yan raised the price by 100,000 gold soul coins. As Qingyu auctioneer's jade hand trembled and the hammer fell, the crisp sound echoed in everyone's ears. In a trance, everyone felt a tremor in their hearts, as if they saw a huge mountain of gold passing by in front of them, and then disappeared without a trace.

Twenty-one million seven hundred thousand gold soul coins!

This is such a terrifying number! It's no exaggeration to say that this amount of Gold Soul Coins is enough to buy a smaller medium-sized city! If you buy a small city, you can buy two with some left over...

Wu Ming stared blankly at the terrifying number that seemed to be able to crush her in an instant. After a long while, she said with difficulty:
"Being rich... is amazing..."
