Douluo Jueshi: Who made him a soul mentor?

“One hundred thousand gold soul coins! Sold!” With the fall of the auctioneer's hammer, the Soul Devouring Carving Knife was successfully auctioned.

Seeing that the Soul Devouring Carving Knife hadn't gone unsold, the professional smile on the qipao-clad beauty's face held a bit more sincerity.

The qipao beauty thought happily to herself, "Luckily, someone bid on this Soul Devouring Carving Knife in the last five seconds, otherwise my performance would have been discounted. That was close!"

As an auctioneer, her salary was closely related to the transaction of auction items. The higher the transaction price, the more commission she received. If an auction item went unsold, there would be a penalty mechanism.

Therefore, what she least wanted to see was an auction item going unsold.

While the qipao-clad auctioneer was rejoicing that the Soul Devouring Carving Knife hadn't gone unsold.

The soul tool engineers participating in this auction were quite surprised.

Some soul tool engineers exclaimed, "They actually dare to buy a fierce weapon like the Soul Devouring Carving Knife that backfires on its owner. They really aren't afraid of death."

"Probably another greenhorn who thinks they can subdue the Soul Devouring Carving Knife. They really don't know the immensity of heaven and earth and are tired of living."

Some soul tool engineers even joked with their companions in the private rooms, "I'm going to see how long the owner of this Soul Devouring Carving Knife can live under the curse of the Soul Devouring Carving Knife this time."

Just as many soul tool engineers were discussing this.

The qipao beauty hosting the auction said with a smile, "Congratulations to this distinguished guest for winning the Soul Devouring Carving Knife. Next up is the seventh-level soul tool, the Gale Howl Cannon!"

… … … … … … … … … … … … …

Just as the auction was continuing in an orderly manner.

At this time, inside the private room.

Wang Chen was also greatly surprised to see that he had won the Soul Devouring Carving Knife so easily.

Originally, he thought that someone would bid against him.

Afraid that he wouldn't have enough money, he even resorted to living off a sugar mama, borrowing one million gold soul coins from the little rich woman, Meng Hongchen.

Unexpectedly, it only cost one hundred thousand gold soul coins in the end. It felt like using a cannon to kill a mosquito.

However, Wang Chen would never think that being well-prepared was a bad thing, nor would he think that preparing one million gold soul coins was unnecessary.

That's just the way he is. He goes all out and does his best in everything he does. If he had only prepared one hundred thousand gold soul coins, the Soul Devouring Carving Knife would have been lost if there had been any unexpected circumstances or if other people had participated in the bidding.

It would have been too late to cry and regret it then.

Wang Chen, who had won the Soul Devouring Carving Knife, breathed a sigh of relief. His goal for this trip had been achieved. He just had to wait for the auction to end, pay the money, complete the final transaction, and then he could return to the family.

Wang Chen thought to himself, "I'll return the one million gold soul coins to the little cutie, Meng Hongchen, later. I didn't expect the Soul Devouring Carving Knife to be so unpopular in the Sun Moon Empire. No soul tool engineers participated in the bidding at all. This is really a steal."

In fact, it was indeed the case. There was a reason why no one in the Sun Moon Empire wanted the Soul Devouring Carving Knife.

The soul tool engineers who needed the Soul Devouring Carving Knife were not strong enough and didn't have the ability to suppress it.

And the powerful soul tool engineers who had the ability to resist the Soul Devouring Carving Knife all had good carving knives and didn't need a fierce knife like the Soul Devouring Carving Knife that would backfire on its owner.

In this way, the Soul Devouring Carving Knife gradually became unpopular in the Sun Moon Empire.

Otherwise, with the power of the Soul Devouring Carving Knife, it would have been impossible for the starting price to be only one hundred thousand gold soul coins.

Soon, the auction ended.

Before long, a staff member from the auction house respectfully knocked on the door of Wang Chen's private room and carefully placed the Soul Devouring Carving Knife in an exquisite box and presented it to Wang Chen.

The staff member said, "Distinguished guest, this is the Soul Devouring Carving Knife that you have won. Please check it.

After checking and confirming that everything is correct, please pay the money and this Soul Devouring Carving Knife will belong to you.

Regarding the Soul Devouring Carving Knife, there are some things to note.

First, as long as you don't inject soul power and spiritual power into it, the Soul Devouring Carving Knife will not backfire on its owner.

Second, it is recommended to have someone protect you when using it… … … …"

After listening to the staff member's words, Wang Chen took the box and carefully examined it to confirm that it was correct.

Wang Chen took out a card with 100,000 gold soul coins from his soul tool and handed it to the staff member.

After the transaction was completed, the staff member said with a smile, "Congratulations, distinguished guest. This Soul Devouring Carving Knife is now yours.

If you want to leave the Sun Moon Auction House, it is recommended to leave through the passage in the private room. This will ensure your safety to the greatest extent."

Obviously, the Sun Moon Auction House was extremely thorough in protecting personal safety.

After the staff member finished speaking, he respectfully withdrew and closed the door.

Wang Chen put the Soul Devouring Carving Knife into his storage soul tool and waited in the private room for a while.

About a quarter of an hour later, the two guards who had been sent away returned to the auction house with the things they had bought. After they entered the private room, they handed the things to Wang Chen.

They said to Wang Chen with a smile, "Young master, we have bought everything."

Wang Chen nodded, stood up, and left the auction house with the guards through the passage in the private room.

Then, Wang Chen and the guards got into a soul tool vehicle and drove towards the Wang family. Along the way, Wang Chen looked at the night scenery of Mingdu while thinking about how to erase the evil thoughts and curses in the Soul Devouring Carving Knife.

Although the speed of the soul tool vehicle was not as fast as a flying soul tool, it was not slow either. As for why he didn't use a flying soul tool, it was naturally because flying was prohibited in the central area of Mingdu.

Anyone who dared to fly around in the central area of Mingdu, a place full of dignitaries, would immediately be arrested by the soul tool engineer corps responsible for defense.

Of course, if you are a ninth-level soul tool engineer or some awesome person with great strength and status, then you can do whatever you want. Otherwise… it's better to be low-key.

Soon, Wang Chen and his party returned to the Wang family. Then, Wang Chen dismissed the guards and returned to his home alone.

After Wang Chen returned home, he greeted his father and mother, and then went to the second floor and entered his bedroom.

After entering the bedroom, Wang Chen couldn't wait to close the door, took out the Soul Devouring Carving Knife from the storage soul tool, placed it on the table, and carefully studied it.

Of course, during the research process, Wang Chen kept in mind the precautions mentioned by the staff member and did not inject soul power and spiritual power into it.

During this process, Wang Chen clearly felt the hidden cold malice in the Soul Devouring Carving Knife, as if it couldn't wait to kill him.

Wang Chen knew from the original novel that the reason why the Soul Devouring Carving Knife backfired on its user was because the original owner of the Soul Devouring Carving Knife had injected evil thoughts and curses into it three thousand years ago.

And the original owner of the Soul Devouring Carving Knife was not a small character. He was not only an extremely powerful evil soul master, but also a ninth-level soul tool engineer.

It was precisely because there were evil thoughts and curses from the original owner in the Soul Devouring Carving Knife that anyone who used this Soul Devouring Carving Knife would be attacked.

Wang Chen had two ideas for removing the curse in the Soul Devouring Carving Knife.

The first idea was to find a Soul Master with a Sacred attribute Martial Soul and, using the Sacred attribute's restraint against evil attributes, purify the evil thoughts and curses within the Spirit Devouring Engraving Knife, restoring it to its original appearance.

The second idea was to find a way to use the crystal imprint of the Black Book, Wang Chen's golden finger, to deduce and perfect a purification-type skill or technique, and then Wang Chen himself would erase the evil thoughts and curses within the Soul Devouring Engraving Knife.

With ideas, naturally, practical action was needed.

Wang Chen planned to experiment with the second idea first. If the second idea failed, then he would begin searching for someone with a Sacred attribute Martial Soul.

The second function of the Black Book, the crystal imprint ability, was very simple.

It only required injecting mental power and then inputting the skill recorded in the Black Book into it to deduce or perfect it.

As for the extent to which it could be deduced or perfected, it depended on the development potential and incompleteness of the inputted skill, as well as the strength of the injected mental power.

Wang Chen didn't have any purification-type skills in his possession. As far as Wang Chen knew, the entire Douluo Continent didn't have any common purification-type abilities.

Therefore, he planned to first construct and create a nonsensical, garbage purification skill. Then, he would use the Black Book's crystal imprint's deduction and perfection function to push this garbage skill forward.

As for whether it would succeed... it depended on whether the garbage thing Wang Chen made could be recorded and recognized by the Black Book.

If the Black Book didn't recognize it as a skill and therefore didn't record it, then the crystal imprint couldn't be used, and Wang Chen would have to give up on the second idea.

In Wang Chen's view, the essence of purification-type abilities was to remove the energy that one didn't want.

As for the specifics of how to do it... Wang Chen didn't know.

Wang Chen was just a Great Soul Master, and such profound things were clearly beyond his scope.

If creating techniques and skills were so simple, the entire Douluo Continent wouldn't have seen Tang Shenwang's Mysterious Heaven Skill remain unchallenged for so many years.

Wang Chen sat cross-legged on the bed, thinking for an entire night, but still gained nothing.

The nonsense he made up, the Black Book simply didn't recognize. It didn't think that what Wang Chen made up was a skill, so it wasn't recorded in the Black Book.

As the morning sun shone through the window the next day, Wang Chen wearily opened his eyes.

Wang Chen thought with a slight melancholy, "I really am not a monster, or rather, creating a skill or technique in one night that can be recognized and recorded by the Black Book was impossible in the first place."

Wang Chen sighed and then turned to look at the Spirit Devouring Engraving Knife placed on the table, emanating a cold and evil aura.

Regarding the Spirit Devouring Engraving Knife made of Living Metal, Wang Chen would definitely not give it up.

How precious was Living Metal? It was helpful even to God-level experts. Silver Dragon King Gu Yuena used Living Metal to heal her injuries. Undead Saint Magister, Undead Disaster, Ilex, used Living Metal to stabilize his divine consciousness.

Living Metal, which was useful even to God-level experts, had an even greater effect on ordinary Soul Masters.

As long as an ordinary Soul Master absorbed Living Metal, their entire person would be reborn. Even if their talent was exceptionally trash, under the effect of Living Metal, they would become an unparalleled genius with the potential to become a god.

Moreover, their physique would be strengthened, their vitality would become exceptionally vigorous, and their lifespan would be greatly increased. The benefits were simply too numerous.

Wang Chen was confident that as long as he could absorb the Living Metal, his spirit, energy, and essence would all undergo a transformation.

His cultivation speed would be faster, he would be able to absorb Soul Rings of higher ages, and having vigorous energy for seven times a night would be a small problem... …

Faced with these benefits, a few setbacks would definitely not stop Wang Chen's determination to absorb Living Metal.

Since the second idea had failed, he could only implement the first idea.

Find a Soul Master with a Sacred attribute Martial Soul to help him purify the evil thoughts and curses in the Soul Devouring Engraving Knife. Anyway, no one on the Douluo Continent recognized Living Metal, so there was no need to worry about anything.

Wang Chen got out of bed, put the Spirit Devouring Engraving Knife on the table into the box, and then threw it into his storage Soul Tool.

Wang Chen touched his chin, and a thoughtful look appeared in his eyes.

Wang Chen remembered very clearly that in the original Peerless Tang Sect, there were Soul Masters with Sacred attributes in Mingdu, the capital of the Sun Moon Empire.

Moreover, the Martial Soul of that Soul Master with the Sacred attribute was extremely powerful; it was the Angel Martial Soul.

The Angel Martial Soul was undoubtedly the top Martial Soul among the top Martial Souls, with amazing potential. It could enhance its own cultivation by killing Evil Soul Masters, and even break through to extremely high realms in a short period as long as it killed enough Evil Soul Masters.

In short, killing Evil Soul Masters made one stronger.

Wang Chen rubbed his brow and carefully recalled.

After a moment, a gleam flashed in Wang Chen's eyes, and he quickly sorted out the content.

Ye Guyi, Martial Soul, Angel.

Her first appearance in the original work was in the Soul Tool Master Elite Competition.

The reason why Ye Guyi participated in the Soul Tool Master Elite Competition was because she was invited by Shangguan Wei'er, the leader of the Ordinary Alliance, one of the three major underground forces in Mingdu, to help the Ordinary Alliance win the championship of the Soul Tool Master Elite Competition.

Wang Chen touched his chin. Since Shangguan Wei'er, the leader of the Ordinary Alliance, knew Ye Guyi, then he had to go to the Ordinary Alliance.

Wang Chen knew the underground forces of Mingdu quite well.

In the underground world of Mingdu, there were three main forces: the largest Xishui Alliance, as well as the Ordinary Alliance and the Aodu Chamber of Commerce.

Among them, the Ordinary Alliance controlled the entire sex industry in Mingdu and was considered the most superficial underground force.

The Aodu Chamber of Commerce controlled things like the Assassin's Guild, the Thief's Guild, and some black forces. They specialized in collecting protection fees, assassinations, theft, and other black jobs.

The Xishui Alliance was engaged in the most profitable drug and arms trade in the underground world, and also trafficked in humans.

These three underground forces all had strong backgrounds.

Among them, the Ordinary Alliance was backed by relatives of the emperor, that is, the great nobles.

The Aodu Chamber of Commerce was backed by the military.

The Xishui Alliance was backed by the Holy Spirit Sect, and its strength was the strongest.

The Ordinary Alliance and the Aodu Chamber of Commerce had a very close relationship, vaguely uniting to fight against the Xishui Alliance.

The Wang family was a marquis family and naturally a member of the great noble forces. Although there was no direct connection between the Wang family and the Ordinary Alliance, they could still be indirectly contacted.

Especially now that the Wang family was backed by the Second Prince, it would be relatively easy for him to find the Ordinary Alliance.

Wang Chen immediately planned to mobilize relationships, find contacts, and find a way to find out the whereabouts of Ye Guyi.

Wang Chen thought to himself, Ye Guyi, it's decided to be you!!
