Douluo Continent: The Eternal Order of the Azure Sky.

Xingluo specially brought out this as a favor, so naturally, there wouldn't be two people to choose from in terms of compatibility.

"Distinguished guests, in addition to the major drawbacks and advantages mentioned above, this soul bone containing the bloodline of the phoenix has another small characteristic: after being absorbed, the soul skills that a soul master uses through the soul bone will be imbued with a certain dark attribute."

Upon hearing this, Xu Tianzhen immediately lost interest. Her Sun Martial Soul followed the righteous path and naturally could not tolerate the dark attribute.

As expected, Shrek Academy ultimately spent a fortune to buy this soul bone, which will likely push Ma Xiaotao's soul power level to a new height.

The auction has now reached its final item.

The screen turned golden again, and as the golden light gradually faded, Princess Jiu Jiu reappeared on the screen wearing a golden dress.

Her stunning beauty was accentuated by the magnificent golden palace gown, which made her appear even more dignified and elegant, yet still refined and graceful. The well-fitting cut perfectly outlined her captivating curves.

As previously mentioned, the black-clad auctioneer, dressed in the highest-grade gold auction attire, suggests that the final price of the next item could potentially exceed one hundred million gold soul coins.

Chapter 108 Snow Empress Embryo

As Xu Jiujiu gently guided his right hand, the screen on the Soul Guidance Screen suddenly changed—

On the screen, a white tray appeared, upon which rested a wooden stand inlaid with at least a hundred gemstones of various colors. Above this small wooden stand, a wisp of air rippled slightly in the void.

This mass of air appeared as an incredibly pure white, a soft white that didn't convey any sense of its power, and from the screen, it was just a mass of air.

However, this wisp of air remained condensed and did not dissipate, subtly shifting left and right as if trying to break free of its restraints. Meanwhile, the wooden support beneath it continuously emitted a layer of pale golden light that enveloped it during its struggles, preventing it from breaking through.

The long, drawn-out voice was no longer alluring, but rather carried a sense of solemnity and seriousness:

"...The current of energy that you, distinguished guests, see is the result of a 100,000-year-old soul beast reaching its bottleneck and choosing to reincarnate as a human. During the transformation process, it was captured by a powerful being and imprisoned within the ninth-level soul tool, the Conferred God Platform. In a sense, this current of energy can be considered the embryonic stage of the soul beast's reincarnation as a human."

A 100,000-year-old soul beast embryo!

Upon hearing Xu Jiujiu's words, the entire room fell silent; apart from Kong Tianxu and Kong Deming, everyone else's eyes revealed a look of horror.

Kong Tianxu and Kong Deming exchanged a glance and made their decision.

One hundred million gold soul coins is not an unacceptable price for a 100,000-year-old soul beast, especially for the wealthy Sun Moon Empire, where 100,000-year-old soul beasts are almost impossible to find.

Kong Deming was more focused on the Conferred God Platform, while Kong Tianxu's eyes never left the mass of energy.

How could the complete origin of the Snow Emperor, which is 690,000 years old, be compared to the value of a mere 100,000-year-old soul beast embryo?

Needless to say, in his hands, sixty-nine or even seven hundred thousand years would not be the limit for this embryo.

After a long silence, her expression finally returned to its lively state, and her words regained their gentle tone that inspired genuine trust. However, every word she uttered next struck everyone's heart like a heavy hammer:

"But there's something even more surprising coming up. According to the research of the great being from the Sun Moon Empire who provided us with this embryo, in addition to inevitably providing a 100,000-year soul beast embryo in this state, its memories are also sealed when it is solidified in this state, and there is a possibility that they can be directly absorbed."

"Of course, during the absorption process, it is necessary to rely on the power of this supreme level nine soul tool, the Conferred God Platform. The chance of direct absorption is not high, but once successful, it is very likely to give the absorber a martial soul, which will bring all the power of the soul beast into the body."

silence.

Not only in Kong Tianxu's room, but all those who participated in the auction tonight fell into a deathly silence, with only the increasingly heavy breathing rising and falling.

Twin martial souls can be created later in life!

Even Kong Deming, while overjoyed, revealed disbelief in his eyes. As the father of the ninth-level soul master, he knew very well that the Conferred God Platform possessed such a function to a certain extent.

In other words, the feasibility of a long time is extremely high.

Even the most precious 100,000-year-old spirit rings and spirit bones cannot compare to a martial soul that can be equipped with nine spirit rings. This 100,000-year-old spirit beast embryo is truly priceless!

The lengthy introduction continued, specifically pointing out that the auction allowed for mortgage-backed loans, and providing thirty minutes for viewing. The Fengshen Platform in the picture was also quickly magnified.

It can be clearly seen that the sealed-off mass of air contains a faint human-shaped outline, just like a human baby, touching the heartstrings of everyone.

Xiao Hongchen's desire was almost undisguised, but when he glanced at Kong Tianxu's figure in front of him, the fire of desire in his heart was instantly extinguished.

In terms of talent, he was inferior to his opponent; in terms of power, he was even less so. He had no right to compete with this embryo.

He slumped heavily back in his chair, dejected, and once again let out a heartfelt wail of defeat:

Why bring laughter when laughter is already here?

On the other side, after Princess Jiu Jiu disappeared from the screen, she went straight to the innermost room, number one. Without knocking, she simply pressed her right hand on the door, and the door immediately slid open to the side. She quickly walked in.

"Brother, there's movement."

Inside the room, there wasn't a single maid in sight; only Xu Jiawei, dressed in a black robe, sat alone.

"Go ahead and speak," he said, gesturing to Xu Jiujiu as he flipped through a stack of documents in his hand.

After a long pause, he said:

"The sects that had the strength to compete reacted quite strongly, with two of them showing clear interest and selling us a lot of good items. Conservatively speaking, we will directly profit more than 50 million gold soul coins through this auction. Once we find a new agent in the Sun Moon Empire, this money can buy a lot of good things."

"but……"

As she spoke, she gestured towards the white earpiece in her right ear, as if listening, and her tone became confused:

"The target doesn't seem to have taken the bait. Even after we offered to reduce the handling fee for all Mingdetang products to 10%, they still showed no intention of selling us soul tools."

"Could I have been wrong? How could a genius like him resist the temptation of a second martial soul?"

Xu Jiawei's eyes were also filled with astonishment. Then, he and Xu Jiujiu seemed to realize something at the same time, exchanged a glance, shook their heads, and smiled wryly:

"The wealth of the Sun Moon Empire is indeed terrifying. They carry hundreds of millions of funds with them. In my own treasury, there are probably only tens of millions left. Most of that was used for this year's research funding. They even have to sell the embryos that the Ancestor personally found."

Princess Jiujiu comforted her:

“Brother, we can’t blame you for this. You’ve already tried your best. It’s just too costly to close the gap between us and the Sun Moon Empire in terms of soul tools. The national treasury is already overburdened. This is a last resort. Moreover, this also shows that Kong Tianxu’s background is probably no less than that of the Mingde Hall Master.”

Xu Jiawei's expression softened slightly. He placed the documents back on the table and said:

"If our plan goes smoothly, you start the timer after the auction ends. Three months later, issue a bounty to the Adventurers' Guild for the Mingde Hall treasure hunt, with a reward of 100 million gold soul coins. No matter how talented Kong Tianxu is, he can't attempt fusion within at least five years, and he can't have the ability to influence the situation on the continent within ten years. Ten years is enough for many variables to emerge, and the Sun Moon Empire, which has made repeated technological breakthroughs, probably won't wait that long."

"Yes." A sly glint appeared in Princess Jiujiu's eyes as she said:

"Hopefully they'll go back and slowly try to find that level nine soul master, hehe."

Xu Jiawei didn't reply, muttering to himself, "Shrek, Shrek, I want to undermine your reputation, but I also need to rely on you for strength. The signal of goodwill has been sent; I wonder if you've realized it..."

Thirty minutes passed quickly, and the starting bid for the 100,000-year-old soul beast embryo reached a staggering 100 million gold soul coins. Princess Jiujiu declared that this starting price set a record for the Starlight Auction House.

However, its auction process was far less dramatic than many had imagined—

One hundred and fifty million. After the price fluctuated slightly twice, Kong Tianxu typed out this number directly.

Then it freezes here.

Behind him, Cain's expression remained calm, Xu Tianzhen's cherry-like mouth was agape in shock, and the others looked numb and indifferent.

Clearly, in their eyes, no one else but Kong Tianxu should possess this treasure.

Kong Deming, on the other hand, seemed to have mixed feelings. It wasn't that he was worried about the small amount of money, but he had to consider the possibility of failure in this integration.

Kong Tianxu pointed to his brow.

Kong Deming immediately smiled knowingly.

Oh, it's alright then.

150 million...

The woman in the black dress could feel her body trembling, but maintaining her high level of professionalism, she suppressed her excitement at achieving financial freedom and spoke up to remind her:

“Distinguished guest, if you pledge your property now, our auction house might be able to negotiate a low handling fee of 10% for you; otherwise, we can only go by the regular 20%.”

"Need not."

Kong Tianxu smiled calmly, his storage ring flashed with black light, and a golden hue appeared on his fingertip.

"I only use my card."

Chapter 109 Reactions from All Sides, the Gluttonous and Clever Langya

One hundred and fifty million... in cash?

The woman in the black dress accepted the limited edition Ruijin Money House card, valid throughout the continent. The gold card had nine red lines on it, and when she held it, she could feel a faint warmth emanating from it, making it very comfortable to hold.

But what shocked her even more was not the nine strands of crimson warm jade that brought a feeling of warmth, but the material used to make the main body of the card.

Golden clouds, they're actually golden clouds!

As one of the most senior Black-level auctioneers at Starlight Auction House, she has handled countless rare and precious items. Anything that can move her heart is certainly not an ordinary thing.

Golden Cloud, one of the most precious rare metals, is considered a luxury even when used to create the core array of a level nine soul tool. Often, only some powder is sprinkled on it to increase its soul power load capacity.

In the past, Starlight Auction House received a small piece of golden cloud, which was auctioned off for a sky-high price of millions. This Golden Soul Card in front of her was actually made entirely of golden cloud. How could this not shock her?

This card alone is probably worth more than the level eight soul tool, the Heaven-Opening Earth-Splitting Cannon, reaching an astonishing tens of millions.

The woman in the black dress completed the payment as if in a dream, her expression dazed.

But she wasn't the only one shocked at this moment. In VIP Room Number One, Ma Xiaotao was completely stunned. The expressions of the other Shrek members were also varied: some were envious, some were indifferent, some were jealous, and some were gloomy and uncertain.

Huo Yuhao's eyes were no longer as clear as in the original work. After being repeatedly attacked by Kong Tianxu, he had begun to doubt himself.

Although Ma Xiaotao had already decided not to get involved with this embryo, and Tianmeng Ice Silkworm had analyzed the pros and cons for him, he still couldn't hide the turmoil in his mind—

If he could obtain another martial soul, would he be able to surpass Kong Tianxu?

"Yuhao".

In the sea of ​​spirits, Electrolux's weathered voice slowly resounded.

"What's wrong, Elder Yi?" Huo Yuhao still respected Elder Yi quite a bit. They were both human, which made him feel completely different from Tianmeng and Bingdi, who were soul beasts.

"You must make good use of the power you already possess. For example, there is still much that you and your partner haven't explored. When necessary, I will also let you experience what true control is."

"Old Yi?"

Huo Yuhao pressed for details with delight, but Electrolux seemed to recall something, and fell silent again after saying those words.

What Mr. Yi means is...

And me and Wang Dong?

As Huo Yuhao pondered Electrolux's words and thought about the several powerful figures sleeping within his body, his previously anxious and uncertain state of mind gradually calmed down.

He turned to look at Wang Dong, who was leisurely eating fruit. Despite being the youngest, Wang Dong was the most composed person in the room.

The most surprised person was Wang Yan. As a teacher, his understanding of money was much deeper than that of these students. You should know that Shrek City, which was originally the most prosperous and concentrated city-state in Douluo Continent, only had a tax revenue of 200 million gold soul coins in a whole year. This is without even taking into account all kinds of expenses throughout the year.

He brought his team here this time, and the academy had already given him a very high credit limit. However, in order to purchase the Brilliant Ash Soul Bone, which ultimately sold for a staggering 20 million, he still relied on Shrek Academy's reputation to take out a loan from the Star Luo Empire.
