Douluo Continent: I, Long Aotian, will not be a supporting character.

Finally, the auction officially began. Princess Jiujiu said, "Now, please welcome our distinguished guests to appreciate the first item up for auction tonight."

As she spoke, she smiled sweetly and performed a complex but very elegant curtsy, while making a gesture of invitation with her right hand.

As Princess Jiujiu moved, the screen changed, the previous scene disappeared, and an item appeared in its place.

The light guide screen, which is over ten meters wide, displays every detail of this auction item.

Everyone was immediately drawn to the first item on display.

At that moment, the auctioneer Princess Jiujiu's voice also came through.

"The Tyrant Tiger Soul Refining Blade is an eighth-level melee soul tool. Its materials are extremely precious. Its core is a right arm bone produced by a ten-thousand-year-old Tyrant Tiger Soul Beast, and it is forged by combining other rare and precious metals."

"The Overlord Tiger Soul Refining Blade has a solidified soul bone skill called Overlord Blade Slash, which can also provide the wielder with a 50% attack power boost when using similar attack soul skills."

"Distinguished guests, please note that when using this melee soul tool to attack, each strike will be accompanied by the soul bone skill effect of the Overlord Blade Slash, and its effect can be stacked with any attack soul skill of the same type."

"In addition, because this soul tool is inscribed with an exquisite core array, through the guidance of the core array and the energy contained in the soul bone itself, the soul power consumption of the holder when using the Tyrant Tiger Soul Refining Blade to launch the Tyrant Blade Slash attack is only one-third of the normal level."

"Finally, it should be noted that this Tyrant Tiger Soul Refining Blade originated from the Mingde Hall of the Sun Moon Empire. I think the Mingde Hall name alone is enough to prove its quality."

"A Soul Saint with seven rings can use this Tyrant Tiger Soul Refining Blade. With this blade, it will be possible for a Soul Saint to challenge a Soul Douluo who is of a higher level."

"Distinguished guests, you have five minutes to watch the auction. The bidding will begin in five minutes."

Princess Jiujiu's introduction fully explained the power of the Tyrant Tiger Soul Refining Blade.

As soon as the introduction ended, everyone's attention was drawn to the Tyrant Tiger Soul Refining Blade.

While there aren't a small number of level eight soul tools in the Sun Moon Empire, each one is extremely precious. They are strategic soul tools second only to level nine soul tools, and are even rarer in the original three kingdoms of Douluo Continent.

The first item in today's auction is an eighth-level soul tool, which is no less valuable than a soul bone, and may even be more valuable, since this soul tool itself is made from a soul bone.

However, the fact that a soul bone is used to make a soul tool indicates that there might be something wrong with the soul bone itself; otherwise, it would have been absorbed by someone, not used to make a soul tool. Even so, an eighth-level soul tool is still quite precious.

Everyone stood up and walked to the optical guide screen to carefully observe the level-eight soul guide weapon, the Tyrant Tiger Soul Refining Blade.

Among them, the most excited was Wei Huang. He was extremely confident in his Heavenly Martial Battle Soul and therefore didn't care much about soul tools or weapons.

However, after fighting alongside Long Aotian and other reserve team members, he witnessed firsthand how each of Long Aotian's weapons—the Devouring Heaven Blade, the Annihilating Heaven Axe, and the Heaven-Covering Shield—greatly enhanced his combat power. Jin Ni also possessed the Golden Dragon Spear and the Golden Dragon Shield. He gradually changed his mind and wanted to find a soul-guided weapon that suited him.

For Wei Huang, the Tyrant Tiger Soul Refining Blade is like a pillow that's just what he needed when he was sleepy.

Although Wei Huang is only a level 57 Soul King and cannot fully activate the Tyrant Tiger Soul Refining Blade yet, he is confident that it won't be long before he reaches the level of a seven-ring Soul Saint, at which point he will be able to fully control the Tyrant Tiger Soul Refining Blade.

Therefore, this time, Vivian was also tempted.

The optical screen displays a detailed description of the Tyrant Tiger Soul Refining Blade. The blade is four feet six inches long, or about 1.5 meters long, and the widest part of the back of the blade is a full inch, making it extremely heavy.

The overall design resembles a horse-slaying saber, with the hilt extending to the guard, showing some skeletal features. The guard is quite wide, shaped like a tiger's head, which is entirely golden, as if carved from a special gemstone. Undoubtedly, the core magic array of this soul tool is located in this position of the tiger's head.

At this moment, Linglong said, "According to the Soul Master of our auction house, the core magic array of this Tyrant Tiger Soul Refining Blade, in addition to relying on the power of the Soul Bone, has a tiger head made of amber crystal gold. Amber crystal gold can solidify the Soul Bone's Soul Skills, and at the same time, in conjunction with the Soul Bone, reduce the user's Soul Power requirements."

Long Yuanba said, "Truly worthy of being a product of Mingdetang, it is indeed extraordinary."

From Long Yuanba's perspective as a titled Douluo, although it was only an eighth-level soul tool, using this sword would significantly enhance his combat power. However, he had no intention of competing with the younger generation for the sword, since one of the skills of his 100,000-year-old sea iguana right arm bone was to transform into a Heaven-Shattering Axe, whose power far surpassed that of an eighth-level soul tool.

Long Aotian also carefully observed the Tyrant Tiger Soul Refining Blade. Although it was just an image, he seemed to feel the terrifying power emanating from the blade. The broad blade seemed to have a layer of bloody light on it, which was breathtaking.

"Alright, it's time to watch." Princess Jiujiu's voice came again.

"The Tyrant Tiger Soul Refining Blade has a starting price of 600,000 gold soul coins. Each bid must be at least 5,000 gold soul coins higher. The auction is now open. If no one raises the price within one minute of a bid being placed, the item will be sold."

As Princess Jiujiu finished speaking, the light guide screen changed again, turning into a pale white. The previous image of the Tyrant Tiger Soul Refining Blade faded and became the background, and a huge number "six hundred thousand" appeared on the screen.

Someone has already placed a bid, and the numbers on the light guide screen are jumping rapidly.

The numbers on the light guide screen soared, quickly surpassing the million mark. However, after reaching the million mark, the rate at which the numbers jumped began to slow down.

Linglong said, "Distinguished guests, according to the analysis of our auction house's in-house Soul Master, the material value of this Tyrant Tiger Soul Refining Blade, without considering the craftsmanship of the Soul Masters, is approximately 600,000 gold soul coins. This is the reason for our starting price. In reality, the price of a finished Tyrant Tiger Soul Refining Blade is conservatively estimated to be over 1.3 million."

"Actually, a million or so is not much for a soul bone, let alone when it was made into an eighth-level soul tool. The reason why the price is relatively low is that the Tyrant Tiger Soul Bone used to make the Tyrant Tiger Soul Refining Blade had some flaws. It was damaged before it was made into a soul tool, so it was used to make the soul tool."
