Douluo Continent II: The Peerless Tang Sect: Starting with a Bond to God King Tang San

Chapter 118 Fifth Soul Skill

Deng Mu wasn't very surprised by what Xiao Xiao said. If Xiao Xiao had agreed without hesitation, he would have suspected that she had been possessed by someone else.

In the novel, it seems that Xiao Xiao wanted to confess her feelings to Wang Dong, but Wang Dong rejected her directly, and Xiao Xiao never mentioned such a thing to Wang Dong again.

"If you hadn't told me you had a fiancée, you two would have been together."

"Sister Xue, please stop testing me. I can't keep this a secret."

Hearing Xue Di's words, Deng Mu sighed helplessly and answered Xue Di's question.

Upon hearing this, Xue Di smiled, inwardly satisfied with Deng Mu's actions.

If Deng Mu hides the fact that he has a fiancée, then she will look down on Deng Mu.

He couldn't help but sigh inwardly; Deng Mu was truly popular, and many women he knew liked him.

Deng Mu examined his fifth soul skill, somewhat curious about its effects.

His fifth soul skill is called Soul Power Tide. Centered on him, it releases a ring-shaped tide of soul power that spreads outward to a radius of 20 meters.

Allied teammates within the tidal range will have their soul power recovery speed instantly increased by 150%, and will also recover 40% of their soul power.

Deng Mu felt that this soul skill was barely passable, not too outrageous.

After a while, Deng Mu and Wang Yan went to attend the auction together.

On the way to the auction house, Deng Mu was very curious about what methods the Star Luo Empire would come up with to trick the people of Sun and Moon without the Snow Emperor.

Speaking of which, the one with the highest IQ in the Douluo Continent world is Tang San, the "God of Wisdom".

Everyone else seemed to have low IQs, and he didn't know why, but it was a good thing for him.

There's no need to worry about being attacked because of his exceptional talent. Even if he is attacked, it's not a big deal, as he has a system and doesn't need to worry about being killed.

In other novels, if the protagonist displays amazing talent, other hostile forces will not hesitate to eliminate him, regardless of whether the other party is a real genius or a fake genius.

After a while, the group arrived at the auction house. The auction house was not very big, which made Huo Yutong and the others think it was a small auction house.

Upon entering the auction hall, Huo Yutong and the others were extremely surprised.

The passageway is over ten meters wide, with the ground paved with precious ivory-white jade bricks. Every ten meters on both sides, there is a pair of pillars made of the same material, carved with exquisite patterns. The walls are as if they are covered with gold leaf, with intricate and gorgeous patterns carved on them.

Deng Mu felt alright about it; he had been to many places and seen the world before his transmigration.

Like Deng Mu, Bei Bei had seen a lot of the world and didn't react much to what was happening inside the auction house.

Wang Yan said in a low voice, "Don't be fooled by its unassuming appearance from the outside; this is actually the largest auction house in Xingluo City. Securing a bidding spot is extremely difficult..."

Huo Yutong and Jiang Nannan were surprised to hear this, and nodded to indicate that they understood.

Upon entering Auction Hall No. 12, the light dimmed immediately, with only wall lamps illuminating the surrounding walls. Everyone entering the auction hall received a beautiful mask.

"Welcome, distinguished guests, to the Starlight Auction House. Our auction is about to begin. Please take your seats."

A beautiful, melodious female voice came from all directions, and the auction hall fell silent.

Upon hearing this, Deng Mu and Wang Yan and their group found their seats and sat down.

A woman in a purple dress walked onto the stage from one side of the auction hall. She looked to be around thirty years old and had a dignified and beautiful appearance.

Looking at this woman, Deng Mu remembered her name: Qingya.

"What's wrong? Has she bewitched you?"

Seeing Deng Mu looking at Qingya, Wang Dong, who was standing to the side, said with some dissatisfaction.

Hearing Wang Dong's words, Deng Mu shook his head and said, "No, I was just thinking about something."

While she is elegant and pretty, she still falls short compared to Wang Dong and the others.

Huo Yutong smiled but didn't say anything. She sensed that Deng Mu was indeed thinking about something.

The auction officially began, and the first item up for auction was a Soul Guidance Paralysis Ray, which would affect all Soul Masters below the Soul King level who were hit by it.

Qingya explained the function and origin of the auction items in detail, but Deng Mu showed little interest, knowing that Wang Yan would bid on them.

In the end, Wang Yan bid 2,500 gold soul coins for the Soul Guidance Paralysis Ray and decided to give it to Huo Yutong to use.

The second item up for auction was naturally a baby bottle. Deng Mu felt that this baby bottle was a bit of a nuisance because when using it, you had to stop and focus entirely on absorbing the contents.

However, it would also be suitable for support-type Soul Masters or control-type Soul Masters.

In the end, Wang Yan still bought the baby bottle. After all, it wasn't Wang Yan's money that was being spent, so why should Wang Yan feel bad about it?

"Now, please welcome our hostesses to bring up this special surprise."

The trolley slowly made its way onto the stage from one side, its cover now a vibrant, eye-catching red.

Not a single mistake, not a single poem, not a single post, not a single piece of content, not a single look!

"Wait a while and see, don't be in such a hurry."

Deng Mu stopped Huo Yutong, who was about to look, and whispered in her ear.

He didn't care much about the engraving knife for listing names; he didn't really need it.

On his birthday, Tang Hao gave him a carving knife for listing achievements, which he named Yuheng.

Feeling the warm breath on her ear, Huo Yutong nodded a little embarrassedly. She had been curious and wanted to see what was inside.

When the Soul-Devouring Carving Knife appeared before everyone, Huo Yutong and He Caitou's breathing became extremely rapid.

After listening to Qingya's long and elegant introduction, everyone at the auction finally understood why a listed engraving knife would appear at a Level 4 auction.

Many who were initially eager to participate remained silent, not wanting to become the next unlucky ones.

He Caitou felt it was a great pity upon hearing this and introduced the Soul-Devouring Carving Knife to Huo Yutong.

"100,000 Gold Soul Coins".

After thinking for a moment, Deng Mu decided to bid on the Soul-Devouring Carving Knife.

He suddenly remembered that Huo Yutong's birthday would be around the time the competition ended, and he could give it to her as a birthday present.

Now, the thing he has the most of is money. Every time Ah Yin comes to see him, she gives him a large sum of money so he can buy some food.

Upon hearing this, He Caitou and the others looked at Deng Mu with some surprise. They hadn't expected Deng Mu to actually speak up and want to bid for the Soul-Devouring Carving Knife.

Huo Yutong was even more surprised; she hadn't expected Deng Mu to be interested in the Soul-Devouring Carving Knife.

Deng Mu looked at the surprised crowd and said with a smile, "I'll pay for this Soul Devouring Carving Knife myself. I'm quite interested in it."

Wang Yan frowned slightly and said, "Deng Mu, don't be impulsive. This concerns your life and future. I can't let anything happen to you."

He felt that Deng Mu's talent was unmatched by anyone except Zhang Lexuan.

If Deng Mu were to become an evil soul master, it would be a tremendous loss for Shrek Academy, as well as a huge problem that would cause numerous deaths.
