"This person's martial soul should be dragon-type. I can sense dragon aura from him, and moreover…" Long Yeyue carefully felt it out, as if confirming her judgment.After pausing for over ten seconds, she continued:"Moreover, his martial soul should be of the Ultimate Darkness attribute. It's very similar to my Dark Holy Dragon martial soul, but there are some differences."
"Why didn't Old Zhushe and I sense his dragon aura then?" Feng Wuyu asked in confusion.Long Yeyue shot him an exasperated look and said sharply:"He's at least half-god level. The fact that you didn't sense it is hardly surprising."
Feng Wuyu: "…"
"You asked for it," Zhushe said with a wicked grin.
"This man… may be stronger than me." Long Yeyue spoke solemnly, then turned to Yun Ming beside her, a trace of inquiry in her eyes.At their level, their perceptions were extremely sharp. Often without fighting, just by sensing an aura, they could tell who was stronger or weaker.
Yun Ming pondered for a moment, then said:"If I don't release my battle armor, I am not his match."
"If I release my battle armor and go all out, I have seventy percent certainty of killing him—but I myself would be gravely injured, possibly fatally."
At those words, Feng Wuyu and Zhushe were both shocked, even Long Yeyue herself startled. The room fell into silence.
The important figures in this VIP room all realized the terrifying power of Di Tian, and they felt pressure weigh on their hearts.
Next door to Shrek's group sat Yunze, Gu Yuena, and Bear Lord.Yunze lounged on the sofa, casually flipping through a book, seemingly uninterested in the stage, though he listened to the voices.Gu Yuena and Bear Lord looked out the window. Only the three of them were in the room; even service staff weren't allowed inside.Bi Ji, Zi Ji, and the summoned-back Ten Thousand Demon King, Yao Ling, and others stayed behind at Dragon Phoenix Hall.
On the auction platform, nine soul rings circled around Di Tian. His energy was under perfect control, not a trace spilling out, and he didn't even release his martial soul.There were many ordinary people present—if he unleashed his aura, they would surely die instantly.
Once the nine rings appeared, the crowd's gazes all changed—filled with awe and envy.
"Greetings. I am Di Tian, Deputy Hall Master of Dragon Phoenix Hall." He gave a simple introduction. His stern face, commanding without anger, made the audience instinctively fearful.Even Title Douluo feared him—the oppressive weight of nine soul rings alone demanded it.
Thunderous applause broke out across the hall, a sign of deep respect for such a mighty Title Douluo.
Di Tian pressed down with both palms, and the applause quickly stopped.
"Before the auction begins, there are three points I must clarify."The nine soul rings gradually withdrew, vanishing into his body.
The hall was silent. Even those watching the live broadcast sat up attentively, waiting for his words.
"First, regarding the origin of this pill. The Hundred-Year Life Extension Pill was refined by the Clan Master of my hidden Yun Clan. This time, only six were produced."
"One has already been given free of charge to Gu Ming, Dean of the Federal Research Institute. The remaining five will be auctioned here today."
"I know the question most of you care about now is—can this pill still be refined in the future?"
At that, everyone listened even more intently, some nervous, afraid the answer would be 'no.'
After a pause, Di Tian said:"To be honest, I cannot be certain whether it can be refined again."
"This…" People glanced at each other. What kind of answer was that?
"Our Clan Master suffered heavenly tribulation while refining these six pills, and is now gravely wounded. Even with an Ultimate Healing Soul Master's treatment, he will still need a long time to recuperate. Whether this pill can be refined again depends on his recovery."
"If his recovery goes well, and he can withstand another tribulation, he can refine it again. If not, then it cannot be made anymore. That is why I say—it cannot be confirmed right now."
Such an ambiguous answer both kept people hopeful about the pill's future, ensuring continued attention on Dragon Phoenix Hall, and also emphasized the rarity of these five pills, driving their auction price higher.
At the same time, he casually mentioned an Ultimate-level Healing Soul Master—another way of showing Dragon Phoenix Hall's overwhelming power.
Some people's focus remained on whether more pills could be made, while others latched onto the fact that they possessed an Ultimate Healing Soul Master.
An Ultimate Battle Soul Master, and an Ultimate Healing Soul Master—was Dragon Phoenix Hall not terrifyingly powerful?
After a half-minute pause, Di Tian continued:
"Second, this auction is jointly hosted by Dragon Phoenix Hall and the Sun-Moon Auction House."
"Anyone who dares to cause trouble here, or attempts to seize the pill by force, will be treated as provoking, even declaring war on Dragon Phoenix Hall."
"As for such provocateurs…" Di Tian swept his gaze around the room, lingering on several VIP rooms at the back, his words filled with meaning:"No matter how powerful their background, no matter what forces are involved, Dragon Phoenix Hall will pursue them to the very end—until they are utterly annihilated."
He emphasized these words heavily. The audience shivered in fear, while those in the VIP rooms frowned deeply.
"This man is arrogant. Investigate Dragon Phoenix Hall and the Yun Clan behind it immediately. I want to see whether they truly have the power to back their threats."
In one VIP room, an old man in plain robes ordered the middle-aged man beside him.
The elder stood upright, tall and unyielding like a pine, his body not especially large, but exuding the steadiness of a mountain.
His deep, sharp eyes carried immense pressure—ordinary people could not bear to meet his gaze. Even his tone brooked no argument, clearly the aura of one long in command.
And this was not the temperament of a politician, but of a seasoned military commander.
"Yes, sir!" the middle-aged man replied forcefully, like a soldier obeying orders.
"Investigate Dragon Phoenix Hall." Qiangu Dongfeng also issued his command.
Many others were doing the same—they were all curious, yet wary, of this suddenly emerging Dragon Phoenix Hall and the Yun Clan behind it.
Even setting everything else aside, the fact that a being of at least half-god level stood before them was reason enough to take them seriously.
Di Tian's words had silenced the hall so thoroughly that one could hear a pin drop.
"No one here dares make a sound."
"Third—our Dragon Phoenix Hall will provide protection for the winning bidders. Whoever purchases the pill may choose to consume it here. We will guarantee your safety throughout the process."
"I swear on my martial soul: if you take the pill here, no one will be able to harm you. You will absorb the pill safely and completely without interference."
"But—if you choose to take it away, then we provide no protection. From the moment you leave this auction house, whether you are robbed or killed has nothing to do with us."
