Douluo Continent: Xiao Xiao, I'm going to control you fiercely!

Xu Shu's visit to Tiandou City was not only to give confidence to the nobles through the auction of physical battle armor, but also for Tang Ya's fifth ring.

Because she didn't need to cultivate the next stage of the Sea God Pavilion's Soul Core Compression Secret Technique, Tang Ya, who consumed the immortal-grade product, directly advanced from Soul Master to Soul King within a year.

What would normally take 2-3 years, Tang Ya completed in just over a year.

This is the true value of the Seagod Island Golden Tree, which boasts 12 times the concentration of primordial energy, top-tier immortal-grade quality, and the full complement of Shrek's elixirs.

Once Tang Ya reaches level 50, Xu Shu will need to consider Tang Ya's soul ring issue.

Xu Shu had always designed Tang Ya to be an all-around Soul Master.

The first ring is Entanglement (which cannot be changed), which can slightly enhance the flexibility of Tang Ya Mo Yu Blue Silver Spear, and can be used for control and rescue in critical moments.

In the second round, Xu Shu chose Earth Element for Tang Ya, a comprehensive recovery-type sustain skill.

For the third ring, Xu Shu chose the Soul Skill "Picking Up Light" for Tang Ya, which came from a thousand-year-old sunflower in a desert within the Douling Empire.

It can be used in conjunction with the second soul skill, Earth Power, to form a smaller version of the Devouring Heaven and Earth soul skill.

It can be said that Tang Ya is currently the strongest fighter in Shrek Academy's outer court in terms of combat endurance.

The fourth ring, Tang Ya's soul ring, comes from the ten-thousand-year-old Thunderous Hell Vine, which not only adds the lightning attribute to Tang Ya, but also greatly enhances her attack power.

With control, endurance, instant recovery of soul power burst, and lightning-attribute group attacks, Tang Ya has two directions to take when she reaches the fifth ring.

First, by leveraging the enhanced life attributes of the Ink Jade Blue Silver Spear, stimulated by the immortal herbs and the previous soul rings, it gains a healing-type soul skill.

Secondly, we will continue to enhance the penetrability and toughness of the Ink Jade Blue Silver Spear, which will likely result in the acquisition of status-based or attack-based soul skills.

However, because Xiao Xiao was going to auction two sets of One-Word Battle Armor, the nobles of the Heavenly Soul Empire were willing to spend a lot of money.

From the black market auction catalog, Xu Shu learned that someone had somehow acquired a ten-thousand-year-old tree of life for this auction.

Yes, it's the Tree of Life from Zhuang Yusen's martial soul, and also the Tree of Life from the martial souls of most of the healing-type teachers at Shrek Academy.

The Tree of Life, while slightly less prestigious than the Golden Tree, is still a top-tier plant-type soul beast.

It's a sight that ordinary people rarely see.

Xu Shu couldn't even complete the task of creating a character guide for Tang Ya.

Using this thing as Tang Ya's fifth spirit ring will not only better stimulate the vitality attribute of the Ink Jade Blue Silver Spear, but also enhance its hardness, flexibility and other aspects.

Moreover, thanks to the characteristics of the Tree of Life, Tang Ya will most likely acquire a recovery-type soul skill in the end, so Xu Shu can reduce the number of healing-type soul masters in the team.

Therefore, Xu Shu can be said to value the ancient tree of life at this auction extremely highly.

As for why they would spend Gold Soul Coins to buy it instead of choosing to unlock the character collection for free...

Xu Shu said that he had opened the encyclopedia, but the age of the Tree of Life on this continent was not enough.

Those trees that are ten thousand years old are either in the core area of ​​the Star Dou Great Forest or on another continent. Who knows where this Tree of Life in the auction house came from?

He didn't have the time to waste manipulating Xiao Xiao and Tang Ya to wander around under Di Tian's nose and make mistakes.

It would be better to use the savings that the Tang Clan has accumulated over the past four years to save time.

Inside the Tian Dou Grand Auction Hall.

It's currently a month and a half before the start of the Mainland Soul Master Tournament, so there shouldn't be any auctions at all.

But today, Xiao Xiao and her group put on masks and followed the maid leading them along a smooth jade path to a private box on the ground floor of the Tian Dou Grand Auction House.

Outside the private box, it is clear that beneath this grand auction house with its millennia-long history, there is an even larger underground auction house.

Unlike auction houses on the surface, which have a main hall, the underground auction house has introduced the latest interactive soul-guided light screen from the Sun Moon Empire and built spacious private rooms all around.

If a guest wishes to participate in an auction, they simply need to watch the auctioneer's explanation through a screen in the center of the auction hall, and then have a maid place the bid.

It not only perfectly protects everyone's privacy and prevents double-crossing, but also eliminates situations where some people use their power to intimidate others, resulting in unsatisfactory auction prices.

Inside the private room, Xu Shu gently embraced Xiao Xiao from behind, then quietly began to enjoy the fruit on the table.

These fruit models are all exquisitely crafted and gorgeous; just looking at them makes you want to taste what they're like.

"Xiao Xiao, open your mouth, ah—"

Upon hearing this, Xu Shu opened his mouth from the bottom of his heart and accepted Jiang Nannan's loving feeding.

Actually, Xu Shu felt that the Spirit Realm mode was the most enjoyable of the three modes.

Record it, record it, and I'll post it tomorrow so netizens can all be envious.

Inside her mind, Xiao Xiao helplessly covered her face.

At the academy, she's portrayed as a cultivation fanatic and would never accept food from her older sisters!

God, ha, ha, this is ruining her usual image as an independent and strong person!

Oh no, her sisters have definitely discovered something's wrong with her.

It seems she must cultivate and improve her soul power as soon as possible. She had already discovered that as her cultivation level increased, she could actually make some decisions about her own actions.

For example, right now, she can decide her facial expressions and some small gestures while speaking.

Once her soul power is higher, she might be able to gain some control over her own actions, so that the gods will know that Xiao Xiao also has her own ideas.

hum-

Before long, the soul-guided light screen in the room lit up, displaying the beautiful auctioneer standing on the central circular platform.

"Distinguished guests, I am your auctioneer, Qingquan, and it is my honor to preside over this top-level auction. Your time is precious, so let's begin the auction. Now, please enjoy our first lot."

The auctioneer pointed, and a magnificent auction platform slowly rose from the floor beside him, revealing the items inside.

"The Mountain-Shaking Axe, an eighth-level close-range soul tool. Its materials are extremely precious, including a right arm bone from the Ten-Thousand-Year-Old Thousand-Jin Ant King. It solidifies the soul bone skill Earth Ant King Slash. It can also amplify the attack power of similar soul skills by fifty percent, can be stacked with other soul skills of the same type, and only consumes one-third of the soul power."

"An eighth-level soul tool from Mingde Hall, its quality speaks for itself. Five minutes to watch."

Well, it's the same old story of starting with an eighth-level soul tool. Today's black market auction is really going all out.

However, an axe.

Xu Shu thought of Jiang Peng, the Soul Emperor who led the team from Di'ao Academy. In the original work, it was said that the quality of his martial soul, the Heaven-Shaking Axe, was no weaker than that of the Clear Sky Hammer.

In the end, just like the extras, he was eliminated by the Sun and Moon as soon as he appeared, which was really unbearable.

This soul tool being auctioned is clearly targeted at Jiang Peng, and it will definitely end up in Jiang Peng's hands in the end.

I wonder if Jiang Peng will be able to lend a hand now that we have an eighth-level soul tool.

After all, an eighth-level soul tool is powerful enough for a Soul Saint to defeat a Soul Douluo. With it, Jiang Peng should be able to easily defeat a Soul Saint.

After watching the auction of soul tools with great boredom, it was time for the classic fixed-position soul-guided cannon shell set and soul bones to be auctioned.

The auctions are always the same old thing, nothing new.

"Next item: a living spirit beast of the Tree of Life, which is ten thousand years old. It is very suitable for spirit masters with plant-type martial souls. Starting bid: 50 gold spirit coins. Each bid must be at least 5000 gold spirit coins."
