If the chance of a thousand-year soul beast producing a soul bone is one in ten thousand, then the chance of a hundred-year soul beast producing one is practically zero. Maybe there's a one-in-a-hundred-thousand chance, but that's only in theory. To now see a six-hundred-year soul bone with one's own eyes—who wouldn't be surprised?
"Everyone might be wondering where this soul bone came from. How could a hundred-year soul beast possibly drop a soul bone? Let me explain. This soul bone came from the Heaven Dou Empire. In its territory lies a well-preserved ancient mountain range, within which lives a type of soul beast known as the Mirror Brilliance Beast. It's a spiritual-type soul beast. This species has a maximum natural cultivation cap of only one thousand years. In other words, no matter how hard it cultivates, it will never exceed the ten-thousand-year threshold. This soul bone is from one of those beasts. Although it's only six hundred years old, its value is equivalent to that of a thousand-year soul bone. It is extremely rare. Starting bid: two million Federation coins! Highest bidder wins. Three seconds per bid round." The woman in the red gown gestured gracefully.
"Four million Federation coins!"
"Four million, three hundred and twenty thousand Federation coins..."
Before her voice had even finished echoing, people were already clamoring to place bids. And not just those present—the soul screen also flashed with countless online bids.
Even if it was only a six-hundred-year soul bone, it still fetched sky-high prices. Soul bones were inherently priceless. This one came from overseas and had strong collector's value.
First auction item... Sixth auction item...
"Next, the twelfth auction item comes from a rare dual-element dragon species, brought from the Star Luo Empire. After investigation, it was found to contain potent light and dark auras. Starting bid: five million Federation coins."
"Six million!"
"Eight million..."
The competition was fierce. Dragons, being among the most powerful soul beasts, naturally made their blood incredibly valuable. Not only did it nourish the body, but if one had a dragon-type martial soul, the enhancements would be immeasurable.
"Ten million Federation coins!"
Zhen Hua raised his bidding card.
Everyone turned to look at Gu You's group and the bidding immediately ceased.
Ten million Federation coins—it was already beyond the item's actual value. For those with dragon-type martial souls, it might be worth gritting their teeth to buy it. But for those without, it was simply excessive.
"Ten million, going once… going twice… sold!"
"Congratulations to this guest for winning the item. Please proceed to payment after the auction concludes."
Indeed, anyone attending the auction had to present their Federation bank identification card. Only then could the Heaven Dou International Union verify their purchasing power.
"What's the final mystery item?" Gu You glanced toward Zhen Hua.
Zhen Hua chuckled and shook his head. "No idea. It's a mystery item for a reason—not everyone gets to know. We'll find out soon enough."
"And now, we come to the final item of today's auction—a Level 8 attack-type soul tool. As times have changed, we rarely hear the term 'soul engineer' anymore. But we cannot deny the greatness of that profession. Though it's transformed into many different careers today, its spirit endures. Our scientists have inherited that will and made soul tools more practical, more beneficial to our lives. Before I introduce the item, I want to extend my deepest respect to every secondary-profession practitioner."
"This soul tool is a commonly seen beam emitter. Normally, something like this wouldn't even make it into our auction. But with the creator's permission and official recognition by the Federation, and through various approvals, we've brought it here today. This soul tool is mounted on the left arm and can emit Level 8 beam blasts. What's special is that it's a custom piece—its creator simplified complexity into elegance. The internal array has an enhanced output effect. Due to time constraints, I won't explain further. You'll have to discover its secrets yourselves."
"One more feature—it has a paralysis effect. When it hits, soul masters below the Soul Douluo level will be affected."
"We've already tested it. Against a Soul Sage, it can cause about one second of paralysis—assuming they're hit directly and aren't using any soul skills or defensive tools. Against a Soul Emperor, paralysis can last over two seconds. Again, same conditions."
"This is a very practical weapon—especially good for female soul masters as self-defense. Starting bid: eight million Federation coins!"
Gu You nodded inwardly. 'This auctioneer really knows how to create tension. Leaving just enough mystery while backing up the product with real features—it's persuasive.'
In the end, the item was sold for 18 million Federation coins to a female soul master.
"And now, for the grand finale of today's auction. Our mystery treasure is about to take the stage. Ceremony attendants, please bring out the final item." The auctioneer lowered her voice for dramatic effect.
A cart rolled onto the stage from the side. Unlike the earlier items, this cart was significantly larger, and the cloth covering it was a dazzling red.
In the Heaven Dou International Auction, everything was color-coded. Gold was most prestigious. Red, the same color as a hundred-thousand-year soul ring, came second.
Clearly, this item was no ordinary object.
When it reached center stage, the cloth hinted at a rather small object beneath.
"I won't keep you in suspense. Today's final mystery treasure is... a piece of Heavenly Refined metal!"
The entire hall fell silent.
Everyone knew the value of Heavenly Refined metal—not only because there was only one Divine Blacksmith on the entire continent, but also because it was the essential material for creating four-word battle armor.
"This piece was forged by… well, I won't say. You can guess. Let's start. Starting bid: sixty million Federation coins!"
Gu You turned to Zhen Hua, dumbfounded.
Zhen Hua laughed and patted him on the shoulder.
In the end, the Heavenly Refined metal sold for 103 million Federation coins.
Suddenly—
Boom!
Just as the auction ended and the participants were preparing to pay and leave, a loud explosion came from the left wall of the auction hall, smoke billowing as a figure darted through.
People began screaming and fleeing in panic, their faces pale with fear.
"Evil soul masters!"
"Aah! Evil soul masters!"
Zhen Hua's expression darkened. "Impossible—how could evil soul masters appear here? This is Heaven Dou City! With so many high-level soul masters guarding the city…"
