Douluo Continent: My Martial Soul is the Ten Ferocious Heavenly Horned Ant

Niu Fengzi originally didn't want to eat this food of unknown origin, but Niu Xiaomei had been hungry for three days and was barely breathing, and he himself had been hungry for six days and was already at his limit.

Ultimately, with no other choice and in order to avoid starving to death, the brother and sister ate the two fruits of unknown origin, which they did not know were poisonous.

Since then, the fates of the brother and sister have begun to change...

Box No. 3, Class A.

"Who is it! What a nuisance, they're even raising the price!" Dong Qing complained, then manipulated the sky-blue crystal tablet in his hand to add another million gold soul coins.

"My goodness! The number three VIP box has bid 3.5 million gold soul coins. Is there anyone bidding higher?" The beautiful auctioneer, [Niu Xiaomei], continued to entice others to raise the bid.

"Three and a half million gold soul coins for the first time."

"Three and a half million gold soul coins, second time."

"This is a head soul bone, which is rarely seen. If it weren't for the fact that it's during the finals of the All-Continent Advanced Soul Master Academy Elite Competition, we really wouldn't have been willing to put it up for auction." The beautiful auctioneer, [Niu Xiaomei], raised her gavel high.

Seeing the beautiful auctioneer, Niu Xiaomei, still rambling on, Dong Qing couldn't help but curse inwardly, thinking, "Damn it! Can you please stop rambling? Would you even be putting up something this good for auction if it weren't for the All-Continent Advanced Soul Master Academy Elite Tournament?"

Ten seconds passed.

Seeing that no one was bidding, the beautiful auctioneer, "Niu Xiaomei," reluctantly brought down the gavel, after all, she didn't dare to really offend the guests from the top-tier VIP box.

But she said with barely concealed excitement, "Congratulations to the guests in the No. 3 VIP box for acquiring this invaluable skull of spiritual wisdom."

Perhaps because she suffered too much hardship in her youth, never having enough to eat and being abandoned by her own parents, the beautiful auctioneer "Niu Xiaomei" is now a money-grubber. She loves money, and she loves Gold Soul Coins.

She has an unimaginable obsession with money, wishing she could possess all the gold soul coins in the world.

Box No. 6 (Tianzi No. 6)

"Your Majesty, the guests in the No. 3 VIP box are Dong Qing, the Holy Son of the Spirit Hall, and Ning Rongrong of the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile School," a man dressed in black robes said, kneeling on the ground.

"I never expected it to be him. If it weren't for that final auction item... this rare ten-thousand-year-old soul bone, how could I have given up so easily?" Emperor Xueye frowned.

Although he is the emperor of the Heaven Dou Empire, possessing the entire Heaven Dou Empire, the current Emperor Xueye is traveling incognito.

Moreover, with Xue Qinghe [Qian Renxue] present, he cannot easily use the national treasury and can only use his own private treasury.

Meeting Dong Qing, this nouveau riche, can only be described as Emperor Xueye's bad luck.

"Your Majesty, perhaps we should request that the Heavenly Dou Auction House directly offer it up..." the man in black robes suggested.

"Foolish! Do you know what Niu Fengzi was called when he was young?" Emperor Xueye frowned and said.

"This... I don't know." The man in the black robe shook his head.

"He cared deeply for his younger sister. In his youth, he defeated countless Soul Masters, especially after he went berserk. He could fight against Title Douluos for a short time and was known as the Bull Demon King in the Soul Master world." A trace of solemnity was revealed in the old eyes of Emperor Xueye.

Chapter 351, VIP Card of Tiandou Auction House

“But our royal family has Dugu Bo, a titled Douluo-level retainer. Even if Niu Fengzi can fight a titled Douluo in a short time, he probably wouldn’t dare to offend the royal family.” The man in black robes asked with some confusion.

"Although Dugu Bo is a royal retainer, he has his own principles and will not become someone else's personal weapon. He only promised to protect the royal family's safety," Emperor Xueye said helplessly.

Could it be that he doesn't want to subdue a Title Douluo?

But what makes him think he can subdue a Title Douluo whose lifespan exceeds three hundred years? Getting the other party to agree to protect the royal family's safety is already the limit that the Heaven Dou Royal Family can achieve.

You should know that once your soul power breaks through level 90, you are no longer a mortal.

This is similar to Tang Hao, who had two soul bones forcibly removed by Chrysanthemum Pass and Ghostly Demon, damaging his life essence and causing his soul power to drop to level 70 Soul Saint.

However, as long as he replenishes his soul bone of the same level, he can still regain the power of a former Title Douluo.

.......

Tiandou Auction House.

In a magnificent room sat a large, fat man with a round belly. He appeared to have a very kind face, but in reality, he was a ruthless man who controlled the Tiandou Auction House, the golden goose that laid the eggs.

"Reporting to the boss, His Highness Dongqing and Princess Ning Rongrong of the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile School are currently in the No. 3 VIP room," a maid in a cheongsam said as she stepped forward.

These words were spoken.

The fat man sitting in the chair suddenly stood up excitedly, his face full of joy. He had originally planned to go directly to the No. 3 VIP room to visit Dong Qing.

But then, as if struck by a sudden thought, he stopped in his tracks. A glint of light flashed from the ring on his finger, and a black and gold card appeared in his palm.

"Send this to Prince Dongqing and tell him it's a gift from my Tiandou Auction House. With this card, he can overdraft ten million gold soul coins unconditionally."

"Yes, boss." The lady in the cheongsam took the black and gold card, then turned and left gracefully.

[Tiandou Auction House VIP Card]

There are three types of VIP cards: blue, purple, and black and gold. Each card represents a different level of status and position for the cardholder.

The blue color is mainly given to high-ranking officials, wealthy merchants, and the heads of some Soul Master families, with a maximum overdraft of 100,000 gold Soul Coins.

Purple is mainly given to noble disciples, direct bloodline disciples of the three upper sects, and sect leaders of the four lower sects, with a maximum overdraft of one million gold soul coins.

Black gold is mainly given to royalty, the leaders of the three upper sects, the Pope of the Spirit Hall, the reigning emperors of the two great empires, titled Douluo above level 90, the Holy Son of the Spirit Hall, and the Crown Prince of the empire. The maximum overdraft is ten million gold soul coins.

Overdrafting Gold Soul Coins incurs interest, calculated at 3%. Overdrafting a significant amount can become a substantial source of revenue for the Heavenly Dou Auction House.

Box No. 3, Class A.

A knocking sound rang out on the door.

"Come in!" Dong Qing said calmly.

"Dear guest, this is a black gold VIP card from our boss, with a maximum overdraft of ten million gold soul coins," a cheongsam-clad maid said respectfully, bowing low.

"Ten million? Aren't you boss afraid we won't pay back the money?" Dong Qing asked in a strange tone.

"This..." The maid in the cheongsam seemed unsure how to answer.

at this time.

Sitting next to Dong Qing, Ning Rongrong couldn't help but interject, "Idiot Dong Qing, they'd love for you not to pay it back, so you'll end up owing Tian Dou Auction House a huge favor. You know, people who can possess cards of this level are not ordinary people."

"What if we run into a scoundrel?"

Dong Qing blinked, and he immediately thought of a certain shameless scoundrel... Li Qiyun, a bastard woman who refused to admit defeat after losing a bet.

Dongqing made a bet with her about his competition with Qian Renxue.

They had agreed that if the winner got to ask the other person to do something, and if the loser got to accept the other person's conditions, but the woman promptly ran away.

Looking back, Dong Qing finally understood that she truly deserved to be blacklisted by casinos across the entire continent.

"This... please rest assured, Your Highness Dongqing, we conduct preliminary screening and investigation. Our auction house would not grant such a valuable card to someone with a poor reputation," the cheongsam-clad maid explained softly.

Leaving aside what happened in Dongqing.

With the final buyer of the 50,000-year-old soul bone and the skull of wisdom formed from the condensation of spirit settled, the Tian Dou Auction House put up several more thousand-year-old soul bones of quite good quality for auction.

However, these soul bones were too young, so Dongqing glanced at them but didn't make a move.

As for the rarity of soul bones... that only applies to poor people, such as Yu Xiaogang, Tang San, and Flander, who rarely have enough gold soul coins to buy soul bones.

For people of Dong Qing and Qian Renxue's level, only high-quality ten-thousand-year soul bones are rare; they wouldn't even bother to glance at thousand-year soul bones of average quality and age.

It's important to understand that the Douluo Continent is incredibly vast. Not to mention the two great empires and the Spirit Hall, which maintain a huge number of Soul Hunting Forests, with many soul bones falling into their hands every year.

In the Star Dou Great Forest alone, Soul Masters hunt Soul Beasts every moment, and many Soul Masters even make a living from it. Among them, Soul Beast meat, Soul Beast bones, and Soul Beast blood are all food on the tables of the human elite.

Therefore, no matter how low the drop rate of a soul bone is, it is destined that quite a few soul bones will appear.

This is also why Bibi Dong, Qian Renxue, and even Hu Liena look down on 100,000-year-old soul beasts, because soul beasts have always been trampled underfoot by humans and are merely food for humans.

But they couldn't do anything about Blue Silver Emperor A Yin and Xiao Wu. Dong Qing doted on them, treating them as his own possessions and not allowing anyone else to touch them.

Ten minutes or so passed.

The auction continued, and after several thousand-year-old soul bones were auctioned off, the atmosphere at the scene gradually became more and more exciting. The beautiful auctioneer, "Niu Xiaomei," waved her hand, and the auction house staff brought out a rare auction item.

It is a snow-white lotus with nine golden rings on its surface and nine layers of petals inside. It is about the size of an adult's palm and emits a faint fragrance.

"Ladies and gentlemen, the exciting moment has arrived once again. The thirty-sixth item for auction is a rare, ancient herb, the legendary ten-thousand-year-old snow lotus. Consuming it can greatly enhance one's soul power."

"Although its effect is not as good as the ten-thousand-year-old immortal herb, the ten-thousand-year-old purple lingzhi, which our Tiandou Auction House auctioned last time, it can permanently increase one's soul power cultivation talent."

"However, the ten-thousand-year-old snow lotus is the most suitable ten-thousand-year-old immortal herb for this continent-wide advanced soul master academy elite competition. It is enough to allow many soul masters with soul power in the thirties to directly break through to the forty-level soul master."

"As we all know, there is not only a difference in soul power between a three-ring Soul Master and a four-ring Soul Grandmaster, but also a huge difference in soul skills. The difference in strength between the two is very obvious."

"But if one consumes this ten-thousand-year-old immortal herb, the ten-thousand-year-old snow lotus, one might be able to show off one's skills in the finals of this continent-wide advanced soul master academy elite competition."

"This is a true treasure! In all these years, this is only the second time our Tiandou Auction House has encountered such a rare and precious herb. It is truly a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity!"

"After careful pricing, we have decided to start the auction for this immortal herb at 500,000 gold soul coins."

As soon as the beautiful auctioneer, Niu Xiaomei, finished speaking, a chorus of jeers erupted in the hall below.

Chapter 352, What are they all here for?

"What a clever scheme! Taking advantage of the situation to rob us. If it weren't for the Continental Advanced Soul Master Academy Elite Tournament, and the fact that the finals were being held in Heaven Dou City, would your Heaven Dou Auction House have so easily brought out such a rare ten-thousand-year-old immortal herb?"

"That's right. The qualifying rounds of the All-Continent Advanced Soul Master Academy Elite Tournament are currently underway, but due to the special nature of the competition format, it will end soon, and the finals will begin soon. Aren't you forcing us to spend a lot of money to buy this ten-thousand-year-old immortal herb?"

"They're not being honest at all. At this critical juncture, auctioning off this kind of ancient herb will surely fetch at least two or three times the usual price!"

"Right now, the top figures from all the major forces on the continent have gathered in Tiandou City. They are either in the Heaven-class VIP box, the Earth-class VIP box, or at the very least, the Profound-class VIP box. How can we possibly compete with them!"

"The three major sects have all sent people. Although we don't know exactly who is in the top-tier private room, just look at the disciples of the three major sects stationed outside the Tiandou Auction House. At least the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile Sect and the Blue Lightning Tyrant Dragon Sect have sent people."

......

Upon hearing this...

The beautiful auctioneer, Niu Xiaomei, frowned and couldn't help but yell, "Stop babbling! If you're not going to bid, get out! I don't want to hear your complaints!"

After saying that.

She noticed that her behavior was not ladylike enough, and suddenly remembered her older brother saying that if she didn't change her temper, she would never get married, which made her extremely worried.

Looking around at the somewhat dumbfounded people, she couldn't help but cough a few times, trying to soften her tone, and said, "This ancient snow lotus is extremely rare and hard to come by. It is the best gift to give to future generations. If you miss it this time, who knows when the next opportunity will come!"

After saying that, the beautiful auctioneer, "Niu Xiaomei," even winked cutely, instantly captivating a large number of men who had just been terrified of her.

For most men, being a little fierce is fine, as long as she is beautiful, good-looking, and has a good figure. Even if she has a bad temper, it is understandable.

Besides, what the beautiful auctioneer [Niu Xiaomei] just said makes sense; this ancient snow lotus is indeed the best gift to give to future generations.
