Chapter 48: The Twin Soul Contract
Jiang Li stood on the auction stage, his posture tall and extraordinary.
His gaze slowly swept over the crowded audience and the representatives of various factions, a faint smile playing on his lips as he revealed a mysterious expression.
In the midst of everyone's anticipation and curiosity, he lightly tapped his finger, and a soft glow emanated from his fingertips, spreading across the stage.
As the light dissipated completely, an ancient and mysterious dark golden scroll appeared before everyone's eyes.
The surface of the scroll was covered in strange runes that danced like playful spirits. These runes flickered with light, alternating between bright and dim.
Faintly, there was a unique soul power fluctuation emanating from it, as if it contained some supreme law-like power, making everyone who sensed it feel a deep sense of awe.
"Ladies and gentlemen, the next item for auction may completely change your understanding of the Soul Fusion skill," Jiang Li's voice was low and magnetic, resonating throughout the auction hall.
The bustling hall, once noisy and chaotic like a marketplace, suddenly fell silent, as if time itself had frozen at this moment.
Everyone's gaze was fixed firmly on Jiang Li, eager to hear his next words, to uncover the mystery behind this auction item.
"This item is called the—Twin Soul Contract!" Jiang Li pronounced each word clearly, and as his voice fell, the entire room erupted in surprise!
"Twin Soul Contract? What is that?"
"I've never heard of it. Could it be some kind of soul tool?"
"To have it introduced with such seriousness must mean it's something extraordinary!"
The experts from the various factions whispered to one another, their faces filled with confusion. Only a few experienced and well-traveled experts had solemn expressions, seemingly realizing that this Twin Soul Contract was not something ordinary.
Jiang Li surveyed the crowd, seeing their puzzled yet expectant reactions. He nodded slightly before slowly explaining.
"The Twin Soul Contract has a most unique feature—it allows a soul master and a soul beast to form a special contract, causing their soul powers to resonate and allowing them to perform an attack similar to the Soul Fusion skill!"
"Of course, this is only one of the most special aspects of the Twin Soul Contract. This contract can also allow two soul masters, whose soul rings are completely unrelated, to perform the Soul Fusion skill."
"Furthermore, for soul beasts, it allows two completely unrelated soul beasts to perform a powerful attack similar to the Soul Fusion skill."
"What?!"
This sentence exploded like thunder in everyone's ears, and the entire auction hall instantly erupted.
The once quiet hall was now like a lake disturbed by a massive stone, creating waves upon waves.
The Soul Fusion skill had long been one of the rarest and most powerful abilities in the Douluo Continent. It usually required a soul master and a soul beast with extremely high compatibility to perform.
And such compatibility was exceedingly rare, with very few soul masters able to find a suitable partner for the Soul Fusion skill.
But now, Star Dou Auction House was claiming that soul masters and soul beasts could also perform the Soul Fusion skill?
This was a complete overturning of the conventional wisdom in the soul master community!
It was unimaginable.
"Impossible!"
On the side of Shrek Academy, Yan Shaozhe suddenly stood up, his face filled with shock. A hint of doubt appeared in his eyes as he shouted loudly, "Soul masters and soul beasts have completely different soul power properties. How could they possibly fuse?"
Mu En furrowed his brows tightly, his eyes glued to the scroll on the stage, his expression solemn. He whispered, "If this is true, the value of this contract... may far surpass that of the immortal herbs!"
As the top academy on the Douluo Continent, Shrek Academy had a long history and deep foundation, and had done extensive research on the Soul Fusion skill.
In their academy, countless excellent soul masters had been trained, and they had a profound understanding of the difficulty and power of the Soul Fusion skill.
Thus, they could more easily grasp the significance of the Twin Soul Contract, and if it truly worked as Jiang Li said, it would mean a revolutionary change for the entire Douluo Continent.
On the other side, Ning Qitian from the Nine Treasure Glazed Tile School also revealed a look of surprise. His eyes sparkled, and he began to think deeply.
"If this really allows soul masters and soul beasts to perform the Soul Fusion skill, doesn't that mean... the boundary between humans and soul beasts will be completely broken?"
"For Nine Treasure Glazed Tile School, this Twin Soul Contract could provide a new direction for development and greatly enhance the sect's power."
"Hmm?"
At this moment, Di Tian, who had been reclining lazily on the fourth floor, suddenly opened his eyes wide. The golden vertical pupils in his eyes flared with a frightening light, like two burning flames.
His body slightly leaned forward as he fixed his intense gaze on the Twin Soul Contract on the stage, his expression one of immense shock.
"Bi Ji!"
His voice was low and hurried, filled with urgency. "We must secure this!"
Bi Ji, equally stunned, stood out in her elegance as a rare healing soul beast among the soul beasts, holding a revered position. But she also understood that soul beasts rarely had the ability to use Soul Fusion, a flaw that had always cast a shadow over their kind.
If this contract really allowed soul beasts to fuse with soul masters, it would be an unprecedented breakthrough.
It could even change the power dynamics between soul beasts and humans, potentially giving the soul beasts the upper hand in their conflicts with humans.
"Di Tian, if this contract really works as Jiang Li says, its value..."
Bi Ji's voice trembled slightly, her heart filled with both anticipation and concern.
The power of this Twin Soul Contract was so extraordinary that it was hard to believe.
Di Tian sneered coldly, a ruthless glint flashing in his eyes: "Whether it's true or not, we'll secure it first! If it truly works as Star Dou Auction House claims, then the soul beasts will no longer fear human soul masters!"
His voice carried a tone of ambition and dominance, as if he already saw a future where soul beasts ruled over humanity.
Though everyone was shocked by the power of the Twin Soul Contract, after some thought, doubt still lingered in their minds.
Just with this single scroll, the Soul Fusion skill could be achieved? It seemed too extraordinary to be true.
However, when they recalled the previous items brought out by the Star Dou Auction House, which had all been incredibly rare treasures, they couldn't help but wonder.
"Rest assured, everything presented by Star Dou Auction House is authentic. If anything is fake, we will provide ten times the compensation based on the item's value."
"This Twin Soul Contract starts at 50 million gold soul coins. The increment must not be less than 5 million!"
"The auction starts now!"
As soon as Jiang Li finished speaking, the bids erupted like a volcano!
