The Glory of the Sun and Moon in the Peerless Tang Sect

Who would add ten million gold soul coins in one go? This was completely beyond her normal understanding.

Ning Tian did not respond to Qing Ya, but instead took out a crimson-gold card engraved with a magnificent Nine Treasures Glazed Pagoda pattern from his soul tool.

Upon seeing the crimson-gold card, Qingya's pupils suddenly contracted.

Wang Yan explained with a wry smile at just the right moment: "My student comes from the Nine Treasure Glazed Tile School."

"However, Ning Tian, ​​isn't it a bit excessive to raise the price by ten million gold soul coins all at once?"

“Teacher Wang, the final transaction price for this soul bone will definitely not be less than forty million gold soul coins,” Ning Tian replied with a smile.

Everyone present was shrewd and naturally understood the meaning behind Ning Tian's words.

Adding ten million gold soul coins in one go is certainly a bidding tactic, but few people have the confidence to do so.

"Tianhuang, you're really something. It's true what they say, comparisons are odious." Xu Sanshi said sourly.

He'd been trying to win Jiang Nannan's favor for so long, yet he couldn't even get a kind word from her. Meanwhile, Yu Tianhuang didn't have to do anything; someone was willing to spend 40 million gold soul coins to buy him a soul bone.

Chapter 182 Reactions from All Parties

With the help of the crimson-gold card and Wang Yan's explanation, Qingya confirmed Ning Tian's true identity, leaving no room for doubt.

He waved to the girl in the gold dress beside him, and she immediately understood and began to operate the device.

The previously illusory, golden numbers on the optical guide screen instantly solidified, jumping from thirty million to forty million.

Xu Zihuang glanced sideways, somewhat moved, at Ning Tian beside him.

Ning Tian's willingness to sacrifice so much for him was both reasonable and unexpected.

Forty million gold soul coins would be enough to cripple most of the top forces on the continent. It's only thanks to the Nine Treasure Glazed Tile School's abundant wealth that this sect could manage to come up with the money all at once, even if other soul master sects were given some working capital.

Moreover, this top-tier soul bone, taken from the Thunderous Hell Vine with nearly 60,000 years of cultivation, will definitely fetch a higher price in subsequent transactions.

"I'm afraid I can't raise such a large sum of money to repay you in a short time."

Xu Zihuang said with a wry smile.

Such a top-tier soul bone was indeed very attractive to him, and he did not feign reluctance.

Ning Tian gazed sincerely into Xu Zihuang's deep purple eyes, which exuded an air of nobility.

"Soul bones of this caliber are extremely rare and must not be missed. Let's wait until we successfully bid for this soul bone before making any further moves."

"Tianhuang, you're really lucky. But you and Ning Tian, ​​junior, actually make a pretty good couple," Chen Zifeng teased with a smile.

"I don't think you need to pay it back. After you marry Ning Tian, ​​hers will be yours, right?"

Although Chen Zifeng's words were blunt, they struck a chord with Ning Tian.

She looked slightly uncomfortable at the light guide screen in front of her, a hint of shyness appearing in her light blue eyes.

Xu Zihuang smiled without saying a word, appearing more composed than Ning Tian.

The people in VIP Room No. 7 had different thoughts.

But most people felt that Yu Tianhuang and Ning Tian were a perfect match, just as Chen Zifeng had said.

Both are descendants of the three great sects from ten thousand years ago; one possesses extraordinary talent, the other has a profound background. If they can continue to support each other in the future, they will surely stand at the pinnacle of the soul master world on the continent, becoming a divine couple.

If Bei Bei had some reservations about this soul bone before, he was already relieved when he saw the starting bid of 30 million gold soul coins and Ning Tian's direct bid of 40 million gold soul coins.

This soul bone is indeed not meant for him.

To say that he envied Ning Tian for being willing to spend so many gold soul coins for Yu Tianhuang was a little bit true, but that was all. With Tang Ya by his side, he was content.

He has always been a carefree and unassuming person, only revealing his domineering and ruthless side when his taboos are touched.

For example, Shrek Academy's glory and Tang Ya.

Jiang Nannan, who comes from a humble background, feels more of an insurmountable class gap.

Forty million gold soul coins—that's an enormous number.

The elixir unique to the Xuanming Sect that she needed to save her mother was only a drop in the ocean compared to the price of 40 million gold soul coins.

Both being core disciples of Shrek Academy's outer court, Ning Tian could easily produce 40 million gold soul coins, while she had to make such a sacrifice for that pill.

Always independent and self-reliant, she once again recalled the sense of powerlessness she had experienced in the past.

Even the way they looked at Xu Sanshi was filled with coldness and resentment.

People are born unequal.

Wang Dong kept his head down, seemingly lost in thought.

Ma Xiaotao, who had been calm all along, surprisingly pouted to herself like a child.

"Having money doesn't make you superior."

In VIP Room No. 2, a handsome young man with heterochromia stood quietly in front of a huge light guide screen.

The two-tone eyes, with their ice-blue and turquoise hues, give off a unique and peculiar feel.

The young man was none other than Xiao Hongchen, the captain of the reserve team of the Sun Moon Royal Soul Master Academy.

Xiao Hongchen crossed his arms and sighed sadly, "What a pity, such a top-grade soul bone can only be absorbed by soul masters with the lightning attribute."

On the sofa behind him were all the participating team members and their instructors from the Sun Moon Royal Soul Master Academy.

The instructor leading the Sun Moon Royal Soul Master Academy team was a robust, ruddy-faced old man. His appearance bore a striking resemblance to Ma Rulong, the captain of the main team, suggesting a blood relationship.

Indeed, this was the case; the instructor leading the Sun Moon Royal Soul Master Academy was none other than Ma Rulong's own grandfather, who was respectfully addressed as Elder Ma.

Among those present, apart from Elder Ma, Ma Rulong, and Meng Hongchen, Xiao Hongchen's twin sister, the other participating students from the Sun Moon Royal Soul Master Academy team all had a hint of schadenfreude in their eyes.

Xiao Hongchen's talent at the Sun Moon Royal Soul Master Academy surpassed that of his peers. This fostered his arrogant and conceited personality, resulting in him having poor interpersonal relationships.

These students representing the Sun Moon Royal Soul Master Academy certainly didn't regret that the soul bone wasn't suitable for Xiao Hongchen. On the contrary, they were more than happy about it.

However, Xiao Hongchen's next words instantly dispelled the gloating in their eyes, replacing it with intense jealousy and resentment.

"Although this soul bone is not suitable for me, it can be used as the main body to make a level nine soul tool. Once it is successfully made, it will probably be the most outstanding in terms of lethality among all level nine soul tools." Xiao Hongchen gently moved his slender fingers on his arms, and then gave instructions to the girl in the golden dress beside him with a smile.

"Forty-five million."

“Xiao Hongchen, is it really worth spending so much money on a soul bone that isn’t suitable for you? This price already far exceeds that of most level nine soul tools.” Ma Rulong frowned.

Xiao Hongchen turned around and said calmly.

“Captain, I didn’t spend any of our Sun Moon Royal Soul Master Academy’s money. This soul bone is of excellent quality and has the ability to absorb lightning power to evolve. If we bid for it and give it to my grandfather, we might be able to use it to create an unprecedented level 10 soul tool.”

Ma Rulong's expression changed, but Old Ma suddenly glared at him and stopped talking.

VIP Room No. 3

"I never expected to find such a treasure-level soul bone at this auction."

In this VIP room, there were only two middle-aged men who looked to be around forty years old.

The man who spoke was tall, and most peculiarly, his right arm was exceptionally thick. As he clenched his right hand, a series of cracking sounds rang out. These weren't sounds from his bones, but rather from the air currents and collisions around his right arm.

He exuded an aura like that of a prehistoric beast.

The other middle-aged man sitting next to him was very thin, but his head was enormous, creating a strange contrast. A few sparse hairs covered his massive head, and his eyes gleamed with a sharp light as they opened and closed. The spaciousness of the VIP room seemed to be affected by this, becoming distorted.

Each VIP room contained an auctioneer and two girls in gold dresses. Trembling all over, the black-level auctioneer and the two girls in gold dresses quickly became dazed.

If Xu Zihuang were here, he would immediately recognize that these two were Lang Ya and Yu Tao, who had stopped him at the Xinghuang Hotel earlier.

Yu Tao whispered to Lang Ya, "Although only soul masters with top-tier lightning-attribute martial souls can absorb this soul bone, we, as owners of our own martial souls, have unique abilities. It's not impossible for us to successfully fuse with it. Second brother, why don't we just snatch this soul bone?"

Langya shook his head.

“No, this Starlight Auction House is backed by the Star Luo Empire’s royal family. From the moment I entered, I sensed at least four powerful auras. There are at least four Title Douluo here. Even if the two of us join forces, we won’t stand a chance. If a sect elder were here, we might be able to give it a shot.”

The arrogance and domineering nature of the Body Sect can be seen from their conversation alone.

"Moreover, our main objective this time is to bring that little fellow named Yu Tianhuang back to the sect. With his talent, he will surely be able to inherit the sect leader's legacy. Once he grows up, he may very well lead our Body Sect to its most prosperous period."

Upon hearing Lang Ya's words, Yu Tao's face showed a hint of impatience.

“I returned to the sect a while ago, and the sect leader was just leading the elders deep into the sea to hunt 100,000-year-old soul beasts. Although Elder Jin said the sect leader would return soon, there's still no definite timeframe. If the people from Shrek Academy's Sea God Pavilion arrive first, things will get complicated. Second brother, should we continue waiting?”

After the beast tide ended more than two thousand years ago, the current sect leader of the Body Sect vowed never to venture deep into the Star Dou Great Forest to hunt 100,000-year-old soul beasts again. However, in reality, the Body Sect never stopped hunting 100,000-year-old soul beasts; they simply changed their target from the Star Dou Great Forest to the sea.

Those who possess a true martial soul are mostly skilled in strength. And many sea spirit beasts living in the ocean are exceptionally large and possess astonishing strength, making them a perfect match.

However, only those madmen like the Body Sect, who are so confident in their strength, would dare to venture deep into the sea to hunt sea spirit beasts with a cultivation of 100,000 years.

Lang Ya narrowed his eyes slightly and pondered, "No rush. With the Star Luo Empire's royal family involved, it's not appropriate for the two of us to take action. As long as the Sect Master arrives with the elders, what if the Sea God Pavilion takes that little brat Yu Tianhuang back to Shrek Academy? We can just go and demand him. However, the Sect Master's trip has taken so long; it seems he has gained quite a bit. Perhaps my promise to that little brat will be fulfilled soon."

He learned from Yu Tao's return to the sect that the reason their sect leader led the elders deep into the sea to hunt 100,000-year-old soul beasts was because their eldest brother, the second-generation leader of the Body Sect, had broken through to the Title Douluo realm. This eldest brother possessed a body full of soul bones, meaning that if their sect leader successfully hunted a 100,000-year-old soul beast, that 100,000-year-old soul bone would be left behind.

He couldn't believe that anyone could resist the temptation of a 100,000-year-old soul bone.

Although the Body Sect acts domineeringly, it is extremely protective of its members and willing to make great sacrifices. As long as you have the ability, they will equip you with the highest possible quality soul bones.

The Body Sect also possesses a foundation spanning ten thousand years, and the number of soul bones accumulated over those ten thousand years even surpasses that of Shrek Academy. However, the Body Sect is merely a sect with a small number of disciples, while Shrek Academy is an academy. On average, almost every disciple of the Body Sect is allocated a soul bone.

Therefore, members of the original sect have a strong sense of belonging to the sect.

Of course, Lang Ya was so certain that the sect leader would give this 100,000-year-old soul bone to Yu Tianhuang because of Yu Tianhuang's top-notch talent.

Even their current young master of the Body Sect, Long Aotian, is inferior to Yu Tianhuang in terms of talent and potential.

Within the Body Sect, those with the ability rise to the top. No one would object to this arrangement.

……

VIP Room One.

A tall, middle-aged man dressed in a black robe sat in the room. He was the only person in the VIP room.

If anyone could see his face clearly, they would be astonished. For he is none other than His Majesty Xu Jiawei, the current Emperor of the Star Luo Empire.

In the center of the light guide screen in front of him, the golden number jumped directly from forty-five million gold soul coins to fifty-five million gold soul coins.

"Another ten million gold soul coins added to the price in one go, this little girl from the Nine Treasure Glazed Tile School is really generous." Xu Jiawei smiled slightly and put down the crystal wine glass in his hand.

"It seems I didn't give enough of this favor."

Meanwhile, in VIP Room No. 2, Xiao Hongchen raised an eyebrow as he watched the number suddenly jump to 55 million gold soul coins.

Meng Hongchen stood up and came behind Xiao Hongchen, saying softly, "Brother, let it go. Our funds are limited. If we raise the price any further, we'll have to sell off the soul tools of our Mingde Hall. There's no need to let the Star Luo Empire's royal family take such a big advantage because of this."
