Douluo Continent: Starting with a Void Treasure Trove

"Time's up, the auction is about to begin."

Xu Yang dealt with the women while glancing at the time and saying...

Then all the spotlights in the auction house focused on the center of the auction stage. For this auction, the Nine Treasure Glazed Tile School had specially imported a batch of the latest soul tools from the Sun Moon Empire.

Its function is to perfectly convey the condition of the auction items to the audience in each box and below the stage.

So Xu Yang turned on the large screen in the private room, and sure enough, the chief appraiser from the Nine Treasure Glazed Tile School appeared on it.

The old man coughed softly, and his voice, carrying with it soul power and spiritual power, reached the ears of nearly ten thousand people in the auction house.

"The auction is now open!"

It was just six simple words, without any unnecessary details, because everyone present knew exactly what was going to be auctioned off.

As the old man finished speaking, a figure appeared from behind the curtain, carrying a tray. On the tray was the 100,000-year-old soul bone that countless soul masters dreamed of.

"It was him?"

In a private room at Shrek Academy, an elderly man in a wheelchair, surrounded by a group of people, muttered something under his breath when he saw the newcomer.

This old man is none other than Mu En, the current head of the Sea God Pavilion of Shrek Academy, whose martial soul is the Holy Dragon of Light and whose soul power is as high as level 99.

As for Xuanzi, he had already been punished by Mu En to be stationed at Shrek Academy because of Zhang Lexuan's matter.

"Master... what is that?"

Beside Moon, an elderly man dressed in white with a gentle demeanor asked...

"Shao Zhe, do you remember when I told you about the twins of the Body Sect? A large part of the reason for my illness is that I was given to the older brother, Du Bisi, back then. As for the one below the stage, he is the younger brother, who is also the current sect master of the Body Sect, with a cultivation level of ninety-eight, Du Bisi."

"I never expected that he would personally bring these six soul bones onto the stage."

"So the origin of these six soul bones is now clear. At first, I thought it was just a coincidence, but I never expected that the Body Sect would put these six soul bones up for auction."

"I should have guessed it as soon as I saw that 100,000-year-old jade swan soul bone. It was that jade swan that ultimately caused the beast god to unleash the beast tide. If it weren't for..."

Moon stopped halfway through his sentence, as if he had remembered something sad.

"Teacher, do you mean that all six 100,000-year-old soul bones belong to the Body Sect?"

"Then why are they even offering it, and why are they only asking for Gold Soul Coins?"

"Hehe, I don't know about that."

Moon stroked his beard, his face, as withered as tree bark, expressionless.

"Master, do you think it could be related to that mysterious Limit Douluo who kidnapped Le Xuan?"

Mu En squinted, as if he had fallen asleep, and did not answer Yan Shaozhe's question.

Just as the master and apprentice were chatting, the introduction about the soul bone on the stage began.

"What you see now is the first soul bone to be auctioned today, the right arm bone of the 100,000-year-old Flaming Sun Terror Bird."

"As a super soul beast that occupies the same ecological niche as the Ice Jade Scorpion among soul beasts, I don't think I need to introduce it much."

"As for its two additional soul skills, one is one of the signature skills of the Flaming Terror Bird - Flaming Sun Defense, and the other is a rather special enhancement soul skill that can greatly improve the user's all attributes in a short period of time."

"In short, this is an excellent soul bone that combines offense and defense. Especially for fire-attribute soul masters, obtaining such a soul bone will greatly enhance your strength."

"The starting bid is now 30 million gold soul coins, and each bid must be at least 1 million."

As soon as the old man finished speaking, some people couldn't wait to start raising the price.

"3100 million, 3500 million."

The calls for price increases are growing louder and louder, and the price is already approaching the 4000 million mark.

Inside a private room, Xu Tianzhen stared longingly at the right arm bone of the Flaming Sun Terror Bird, looking quite satisfied.

"Brother..."

Before Xu Tianzhen could speak, a man in a wheelchair with a somewhat gloomy demeanor raised his hand to interrupt her.

"I know that this soul bone is the most suitable for you among the six soul bones. Your royal brother will do his best to help you. If all else fails, go to Father."

"I knew it, my brother is the best!"

Xu Tianzhen hugged Xu Tianran's arm and showered him with compliments, while Xu Tianyuan, who was in the room, could only shake his head and smile wryly at the sight.

As their cousin, Xu Tianyuan was considerably older than his siblings. Moreover, as the commander of the Imperial Dragon Soul Master Legion, Xu Tianyuan was already a level 94 Title Douluo, and his soul bones were fully equipped.

His mission this time was twofold: first, to protect the safety of the brother and sister, and second, to acquire the soul bone, as specifically instructed by His Majesty the Emperor before his departure.

As for how to absorb it, the Sun Moon Empire has a soul tool that can temporarily suppress the power in the soul bone, so that the soul bone will not cause too much damage to the absorber, but the improvement in soul skills and attributes is real.

Meanwhile, Yan Shaozhe also had his eye on the right arm bone of the Flaming Sun Terror Bird after seeing it.

He thought of his apprentice, Ma Xiaotao.

In Yan Shaozhe's view, Ma Xiaotao, who possessed the Evil Fire Phoenix, was a perfect match for this soul bone.

However, their purpose in coming here was to obtain the 100,000-year-old jade swan skeleton. They hoped that through that soul bone, Elder Zhuang could break through and Mu En could recover.

Even if it's not possible, the 100,000-year-old jade swan's torso and bones can still serve as a part of Shrek Academy's heritage and be passed down through generations.

So now he's a bit conflicted about whether or not to disrupt the academy's plans for Ma Xiaotao.

He found the entire academy's purse strings, controlling all of Shrek Academy's financial resources, as well as Elder Lin of the Treasure Pavilion.

"Elder Lin, are the gold soul coins we brought this time enough...?"

Old Lin saw through Yan Shaozhe's little scheme at a glance, and gently tapped the ground with his cane.

"The academy's tax revenue and the income from the Treasure Pavilion have been quite good in recent years. Currently, the available working capital is about 150 million gold soul coins."

"As for the 100,000-year-old jade swan skeleton that we will auction last, I conservatively estimate its price to be 100 million gold soul coins."

"So if the price of this soul bone exceeds fifty million gold soul coins, Shao Zhe, you should give up. I know you're doing this for your little apprentice, but you should prioritize the bigger picture."

"The most urgent task is to obtain that jade swan skeleton first, and then we can talk about other things."

After receiving the news from Elder Lin, Yan Shaozhe happily made an offer of 50 million gold soul coins. He had saved some over the years, and he was confident that as long as it did not exceed 60 million gold soul coins, he could win back this top-grade soul bone for Ma Xiaotao.

The bid had already reached 45 million.

Overjoyed, Yan Shaozhe immediately raised the price by another three million.

"Forty-eight million!"

"Alright, the VIP in Box Number One has bid 48 million Gold Soul Coins."

"Forty-eight million, anyone else bidding?"
