Wang Yan smiled faintly and said, "Isn't there still the last auction item? Let us see what this final item, which can be even more precious than the Ice Jade Scorpion left arm bone, is."
Looking at Wang Yan's expression, Dai Yueheng was the first to feel relieved, obviously having understood something. Anyway, it was useless for him to buy this Ice Jade Scorpion soul bone. He was not so kind as to use his family's property for a schoolmate. If Ling Luochen couldn't afford it, she shouldn't be here losing face.
Ling Luochen was indeed one of the best in the inner court, but she was definitely not among the very top batch. Otherwise, there wouldn't be several people in the official team with a higher soul power level than her.
Wang Dong, Jiang Nannan, and Xixi were originally a little resentful like Ling Luochen. It wasn't until Bei Bei whispered a few words in their ears that they showed a bit of sudden realization. Xiao Xiao had a look of bewilderment, but she didn't say anything more.
"Next will be today's grand finale item."
The image on the soul tool screen once again turned a sheet of gold. When the golden light gradually converged, the princess who reappeared on the screen had actually changed into a luxurious long golden dress.
The princess's peerless beauty, set off by the luxurious golden palace dress, looked graceful and noble without losing its fresh elegance. The well-tailored cut perfectly outlined her moving curves.
Qing Ya had already introduced it before. Wearing a golden auction uniform meant that the final transaction price of the next auction item could possibly break one hundred million gold soul coins.
Although they still didn't know what this final item was, just the change of clothes of Princess Jiujiu made everyone feel a sense of spiritual excitement. As a top-tier auctioneer, this princess really knew how to grasp people's hearts!
"Distinguished guests, from Jiujiu's attire, you should be able to see how precious our final item of today will be. To be honest, this is the only time in my life that I have personally seen this auction item. In my opinion, its preciousness is already difficult to measure with money."
Princess Jiujiu, having changed into her golden ceremonial dress, her voice had once again undergone a subtle change. Unlike the previous voice with a hint of temptation, at this time, her voice had a bit more solemnity, and her entire expression had also become serious. Just a few words made people fully feel her sincerity and involuntarily believe her every word.
"I will not say the name of this auction item first. I will first introduce its effects to all distinguished guests. The previous Ice Jade Scorpion left arm bone was already very rare and scarce. And for today's final auction item, I dare say even more that it is one of a kind. Its value should not even be measured with money."
"Distinguished guests, please take a look." As she spoke, Princess Jiujiu raised her right hand and beckoned. The soul tool screen immediately changed. A white tray appeared on the screen. On the tray was a wooden stand, inlaid with at least a hundred gems of various colors. On this small wooden stand, a ball of airflow was gently fluctuating there.
This ball of airflow was white. The soft white color did not let people feel its power. And from the screen, it was just a ball of airflow. It was difficult to directly feel its miraculousness through sight.
However, this ball of airflow was condensed and not scattered, faintly rushing left and right, as if trying to break out of its encirclement. And the wooden stand below it was continuously emitting a layer of a faint golden light shield during its impact, enveloping it within and preventing it from breaking through.
Huo Yuhao sat up straight. The world line has converged. The Snow Empress, during her transformation, was indeed caught after all.
Listening to Jiujiu's words about the God-Sealing Platform, the entire room was deathly silent. Including Wang Yan, everyone's eyes showed a look of horror.
A soul beast was caught during its transformation into a human embryo and was sealed to maintain it in that transformation process. What did this mean? It meant that a hundred-thousand-year soul beast could be easily killed, it meant that a hundred-thousand-year soul ring and a hundred-thousand-year soul bone would surely appear, but it also meant cruelty.
This was indeed a supreme treasure! A hundred-thousand-year soul ring and a hundred-thousand-year soul bone had long been called the most precious treasures in the world today. Obtaining them was already extremely difficult, let alone abducting a hundred-thousand-year soul beast. The temptation of the embryo before them could be imagined. No wonder this Princess Jiujiu would actually wear a golden auction uniform.
A hundred million gold soul coins was certainly terrifying, but compared to a hundred-thousand-year soul beast, it was very likely that someone would be willing to pay this price!
Plus the ability of the God-Sealing Platform, it could be said that this auction item combined several ultimate temptations that humans in this world could not refuse: a hundred-thousand-year soul ring, a hundred-thousand-year soul bone, and a new martial soul!
One must know that every once in a while, several soul masters with twin martial souls would awaken on the continent. As long as they didn't go down the wrong path, a soul master with twin martial souls would surely be able to become a Titled Douluo in the future. And a hundred-thousand-year soul ring and soul bone would surely create a Super Douluo or even a Limit Douluo. Then what if another martial soul was added on this basis?
A three-life martial soul.
Countless people almost dared not continue to imagine. What did a three-life martial soul mean?
One word: God.
The legend of the Douluo Continent that had been passed down for ten thousand years was still vivid in their ears. But even that person from back then was only the owner of twin martial souls.
If this auction item was really obtained by a soul master with twin martial souls and put to use, then his future achievements would surely be that of a god!
Silence. It wasn't just the room where Shrek and the others were that had fallen into a state of silence. Every single person who had come to participate in the bidding today couldn't help but quiet down, but their breathing was becoming heavier and heavier.
If before they still thought that the adjectives Princess Jiujiu used when describing this auction item were a bit exaggerated, then at this moment, they had all already changed their minds. If the situation Princess Jiujiu described came true, then this hundred-thousand-year soul beast embryo was indeed a priceless treasure!
The God-Sealing Platform on the screen quickly enlarged. The faint layer of a golden light shield also became obvious. If one observed carefully, one could find that the ball of airflow sealed in the God-Sealing Platform indeed had a faint human shape, just like a human baby.
"I really didn't expect that you humans could actually catch a hundred-thousand-year soul beast's embryo during its transformation into a human. I can only say that this luck is completely heaven-defying. And, the person who caught this soul beast must have been prepared long ago. A soul beast is most vulnerable during its transformation into a human and must also be extremely careful. For this person who caught it to be able to go undiscovered, they must have special hiding means. If this kind of embryo is forcibly fused, it is indeed possible for it to transform into a martial soul, but it definitely cannot be as compatible as the Ten Thousand Demon King is with you. Because if it transforms into a martial soul, the divine sense of the soul beast embryo itself will surely be partially retained. Think about it, would it be willing to accept this fusion? There will surely be problems in the future. It's not a good thing," the already-awakened Ice Empress said with resentment.
Huo Yuhao was actually already a three-life martial soul soul master. It was just that the Death God martial soul was somewhat special and could not have any soul rings attached to it. He could only release all the power of the Ice Empress by liberating the Soul-Slaying Blade.
It was just that he was determined to get the Snow Empress back. For no other reason, he also needed the power of the Snow Empress. In the original novel, the Snow Empress was Huo Yuhao's first soul spirit. In this life, Huo Yuhao couldn't possibly be worse than his self in the original world line, right?
However, the Star Luo Empire's auctioning of this supreme treasure was clearly aimed at the Sun Moon Royal Soul Engineering Academy. If he were to forcibly buy it, he could surely disrupt the plans of the Star Luo Empire.
Soon, Huo Yuhao sensed that the group from Shrek had left their private box. They had clearly completely withdrawn from the competition for this auction item. The price of this supreme treasure was bound to be extremely terrifying. Even with the financial resources of Shrek Academy, to buy this supreme treasure would surely be a matter of injuring the muscles and bones. And, with their current lineup, if they really bought this supreme treasure, even with Yan Shaozhe as a backup, it was unknown if they could even bring it back.
In this life, because there was no Huo Yuhao in the Shrek participating team to amaze the Xu Jiawei siblings, they did not pay them a visit, letting the members of Shrek go back with the things they had bought.
Before leaving, Wang Yan, as he had wished, got Qing Ya's sound-transmitting soul tool. This kind of thing was made in pairs; she also had one. As long as they were within a hundred li, they could contact each other through it. If Wang Yan needed her help with anything during his time in Star Luo City, he could also contact her at any time.
And the subsequent bidding in the auction hall could only be described as tragic. At the beginning, there were actually three parties participating in the competition. The price continued to rise, and soon it reached one hundred and thirty million gold soul coins. After reaching this number, the speed of bidding began to slow down. After all, this sum of money was definitely not something an ordinary power could take out.
Just at this moment, the number suddenly changed: "One hundred and fifty million!" A party had actually directly added twenty million.
In VIP room number two, Xiao Hongchen stood in front of the soul tool screen, his fists tightly clenched. "This time, let's see who still dares to compete with me."
Behind him, on the sofa, sat more than a dozen people. The expressions on each person's face were different. Some were envious, some had a calm face, some were jealous, and some were dissatisfied, and so on.
Old Ma's brow was deeply furrowed. "Xiao Hongchen, is the price increase too much? Twenty million gold coins at a time, this..."
Xiao Hongchen shook his head and said with a cold laugh, "This is precisely to scare them until they don't dare to bid. In Sun Moon's Mingdu city, a whole street, go ask around and find out who's daddy!"
Ma Rulong was speechless and couldn't help but say in a deep voice, "Is it really worth it to consume so much funds at once?"
In order to win this auction item, Xiao Hongchen had already begun to sell high-level soul tools to the Star Luo imperial family through the Illustrious Virtue Hall in exchange for enough cash.
After the Star Luo imperial family proposed that the handling fee for all items produced by the Illustrious Virtue Hall be reduced to ten percent, the Illustrious Virtue Hall had discussed it internally and had taken out some of the Illustrious Virtue Hall's soul tools to sell to the Star Luo Empire. At the same time, the real Jing Hongchen was also rushing towards Star Luo City with several level-eight soul tool masters, with a look of being determined to win.
Xiao Hongchen's emotions at this time were affected by the hundred-thousand-year soul beast embryo and had already entered a special state of excitement. Without thinking, he said, "Of course it's worth it! I'm not spending the academy's money. With this supreme treasure, I can have twin martial souls or a hundred-thousand-year soul ring and soul bone. This is something that can be chanced upon but not sought. How can I let it go?"
Ma Rulong's face immediately became even uglier, but Old Ma glared at him, so he did not say anything more.
And just at this moment, a change occurred.
A series of heaven-shocking numbers appeared on the screen, jumping from one hundred and fifty million directly to two hundred million!
"Who is it? Who is snatching my thing?" Xiao Hongchen was instantly furious and immediately signaled to the maid beside him to raise the price to two hundred and fifty million.
However, the next moment, the number changed again, directly reaching three hundred million!
Ning Tian had finally made a move. At Huo Yuhao's signal, for the first time in front of the world, she revealed the true foundation of the Nine Treasure Glazed Tile Sect, which had been accumulating for ten thousand years.
The six of them were the ones who had truly come prepared. They could afford not to play by the rules of martial virtue. Ning Tian had already had her sect raise one billion for her a few days ago.
According to Huo Yuhao's understanding, to buy a hundred-thousand-year soul beast embryo for a few hundred million was very expensive and unnecessary. He himself could go to the Star Dou Great Forest and use Kotoamatsukami to forcibly twist the will of a hundred-thousand-year soul beast to get a transforming embryo.
However, to buy one of the ten great ferocious beasts of Douluo, even one of the top three ferocious beast embryos, for a few hundred million was really not expensive.
No living human had ever seen the true face of the Snow Empress. Even an expert at the Limit Douluo level, upon stepping into the Land of Extreme North and running into a full-state Snow Empress, could only die with regret on the spot.
