I am the son of the Dragon God in Douluo Continent.

The struggle among the three forces has reached a fever pitch. Unlike before when they were adding one million at a time, now all three forces are adding ten million at a time.

In fact, all three parties understood that it was not worth spending more than 500 million gold soul coins to buy a ferocious beast, but they each had their own reasons for not backing down.

The Body Sect is alright; they're just stubborn, clinging to the mentality that they can't let others take what they want.

Wang Yan, on Shrek's side, understood that one of the remaining two forces must be from the Sun Moon Empire. Therefore, it didn't matter if he bought the beast spirit at a loss, but this thing absolutely could not fall into the hands of the Sun Moon Empire!

The Sun Moon Empire already possessed soul-guided technology far surpassing that of the original three great empires. If a powerful figure with a ferocious beast soul were to emerge in the future, would the three great empires still be able to withstand it?

After all, if someone can truly absorb a ferocious beast-level soul spirit, then their future achievements will inevitably reach the level of a Limit Douluo.

In the Sun Moon Empire, they are the legendary level 10 Soul Masters. Once a level 10 Soul Master is born in the Sun Moon Empire, the Sun Moon Empire's technology will advance another level. Will they, who originally belonged to the three great empires, still have a chance?

The only problem now is that although Shrek Academy has prepared ample funds for Wang Yan for this ferocious beast spirit, there are still limitations to it.

When the price had already reached 700 million gold soul coins, Wang Yan had no choice but to grit his teeth and make the last bet, directly bidding a high price of 900 million gold soul coins, hoping that the other two parties would give up, because the academy had only given Wang Yan 900 million gold soul coins in total.

There was nothing that could be done about it. The academy's annual funding was only a few billion gold soul coins, and giving Wang Yan nine hundred million gold soul coins this time was already a huge loss.

If the other party wants to raise the price, Wang Yan can't do anything about it. He can't just go up and rob them, can he? Don't Shrek have any pride?

When the figure of 900 million gold soul coins was announced, the people in the guest rooms belonging to the Body Sect and Mingde Hall were stunned. They had actually added 200 million gold soul coins!

These are gold soul coins! Not like those big rocks you can see anywhere on the roadside!

The Body Sect was frightened by Wang Yan's move and ultimately chose to give up the competition. They secretly planned to find out which force dared to compete with their Body Sect for the item, and then they would visit them in person.

In the guest room belonging to the Sun Moon Empire team, there was a silver-haired boy with a hesitant expression. He was Xiao Hongchen, the captain of the Sun Moon team's reserve team.

He had lost his usual composure, his face filled with anxiety. The silver-haired girl sitting beside him, looking straight ahead, advised, "Brother, let it go this time. I know this ferocious beast's spirit is important to me, but any more than that is really not worth it."

However, Xiao Hongchen seemed not to hear his sister's advice, and instead shouted with an even more determined expression, "I'll offer ten billion gold soul coins!"

After the figure of one billion gold soul coins was revealed, Wang Yan knew that this ferocious beast soul spirit was ultimately not meant for Shrek Academy, so he could only withdraw from the competition with resentment.

The only thing that made Wang Yan feel a little better was that the final winner spent a high price of one billion gold soul coins, an amount that not every force could afford.

Moreover, even if they could gather all the members, it would be a huge financial blow to that faction. If the opponent is the Sun Moon Empire team, then they must belong to the Mingde Hall. In that case, their actions this time would undoubtedly have severely hampered their chances in this year's preliminary rounds.

This shows that they have ripped off a large sum of money this time, and their research will have to be suspended for a period of time due to lack of funding.

Therefore, Wang Yan believes that the other party will likely regret this action in the future.

However, the truth is that Xiao Hongchen, who had offered 1 billion gold soul coins, looked relieved when he heard that no one dared to bid again.

It seems that Xiao Hongchen made the right bet. The person who suddenly increased by 200 million was just bluffing. 900 million gold soul coins was the limit for that person.

Afterwards, when Xu Jiujiu announced on the screen that the ferocious beast's soul had been returned to the guest room where Xiao Hongchen was, he couldn't help but breathe a sigh of relief.

The situation just now was really tense. If anyone else had raised the price, he would have had to give up on the ferocious beast spirit.

There's a reason why Xiao Hongchen and his grandfather Jing Hongchen value the ferocious beast's soul so much. Their Sun Moon Empire also has spies in the Starlight Auction House, so after some inquiries, they learned the specific identity of this ferocious beast's soul.

Upon learning that the true form of the ferocious beast's soul was the Soul-Devouring Thunder Spider King, Jing Hongchen immediately transferred 1 billion gold soul coins from his own savings to Xiao Hongchen and gave him a death order to capture it.

As for why Jing Hongchen values ​​the Soul-Devouring Thunder Spider King so much, even at such a huge cost, he is determined to acquire it.

This story begins with his granddaughter, Meng Hongchen. Meng Hongchen's martial soul is the Zhu Qingbing Toad, a rare soul beast with an extremely small population and elusive whereabouts.

In the far north, their race is known as the kings of the cracks, because their territory lies on the outskirts of the far north, bordering the human world.

The strongest point of this soul beast is that the toxins it possesses are produced by alternating between its own ice and fire abilities, creating a special cold poison.

Wherever the Zhu Qing Ice Toad goes, it leaves behind a trail of potent poison that lingers for a long time. Even spirit beasts stronger than it find it difficult to harm.

The only ones who can restrain them are the three great kings of the far north who possess the ultimate ice, which is why they only dare to move in narrow crevices.

While martial souls possessed by Soul Masters have appeared before in the history of the continent, they are extremely rare. This is because Zhu Qingbingchan's situation is somewhat similar to Ma Xiaotao's former Evil Fire Phoenix martial soul; its own cold poison can backfire on its master. If not handled carefully, the Soul Master could die from the poison attacking their heart. Therefore, it is extremely rare for someone to cultivate such a powerful form.

Even though this icy poison is Zhu Qingbingchan's greatest weapon, it is also a death warrant for Zhu Qingbingchan's soul master.

However, according to the records of their Red Dust Clan, Master Zhongshi had a way to solve the problem of Zhu Qingbing's toad soul master's poison backlash.

Simply put, it involves preparing a special medicine that can completely integrate the toxins of Zhu Qingbing Toad Soul Masters into their bodies, eliminating any worries about backlash.

However, these materials are extremely precious, so for more than a decade after Meng Hongchen's birth, he still lacked the most crucial materials.

That material is the venom of the Soul-Devouring Thunder Spider King.

It is precisely because of this that Jing Hongchen is determined to obtain the Soul-Devouring Thunder Spider King's soul spirit. You must know that it is very difficult to find a living Soul-Devouring Thunder Spider King in the continent now. At least in Jing Hongchen's investigation over the past few years, if he hadn't seen the Soul-Devouring Thunder Spider King's soul spirit that the Spirit Pagoda was selling, he would have thought that the Soul-Devouring Thunder Spider King had become extinct.
