Chapter 102: Lost Contact
Wang Dong'er's expression was serious, and her tone was firm as she narrated the many wondrous events of the Star Auction House to the Sky Blue Bull Python and the Titan.
The two listened quietly, occasionally showing expressions of surprise.
"Winter, if what you are saying is true, then the methods used by the Star Auction House are far beyond what ordinary mortals can achieve," the Titan murmured gravely, furrowing his brows.
His gaze was deep, as if pondering the mysterious force behind the Star Auction House.
"Just the act of attaching a martial soul to a Soul Master—such a method, not to mention ordinary mortals, even gods would find it difficult to accomplish."
"After all, martial souls are innate; it is very hard to bestow them through external forces."
The Titan's voice was deep and powerful, echoing in the empty hall.
This information was indeed hard to believe, almost like a fairy tale.
Not to mention the other precious, priceless treasures, which were far more valuable than the people of the Douluo Continent could imagine.
But the most surprising thing was the fire-type martial soul mentioned by Wang Dong'er, which could be directly attached to a Soul Master. This particular matter caused the Titan to be filled with doubt.
He really couldn't be sure whether such a feat was even possible.
The Sky Blue Bull Python nodded slightly, his gaze filled with contemplation.
He recalled that the Star Auction House had previously auctioned a Soul Ring Age Increase Card, a method that only gods could achieve.
A thousand years ago, they had witnessed Soul Masters' Soul Ring ages being extended through divine power.
"Grandfather, Uncle, you should consider attending the next auction at the Star Auction House. Not to mention the other items, the final lot will definitely amaze both of you," Wang Dong'er said, her eyes shining with excitement.
"You should know, the Star Auction House has never auctioned the same item twice, and the most anticipated item is always the final one."
She spoke slowly, her heart filled with her own plans. She hoped that the Haotian Sect could use this auction to enhance the sect's overall strength.
From the looks of it, if the Star Auction House continued to hold auctions frequently, the overall strength of the Douluo Continent would definitely increase dramatically.
At that time, it might be difficult for the Haotian Sect to maintain its status as the number one sect in the world.
This was also one of the important reasons for her return to the Haotian Sect.
After hearing Wang Dong'er's words, the Sky Blue Bull Python and the Titan fell silent.
They were both pondering the credibility of this matter.
Logically speaking, the Haotian Sect was powerful, but now the appearance of the Star Auction House seemed rather strange.
What Winter had said made them realize that if this situation continued, the Haotian Sect might truly lose its advantage over time compared to other forces.
"It seems we must attend the next auction; I'm also very curious about whether there truly are god-level powerhouses behind the Star Auction House," the Sky Blue Bull Python sighed, speaking slowly.
His tone contained both helplessness and anticipation for the unknown.
"When will the next auction take place?"
The Sky Blue Bull Python looked directly at Wang Dong'er and asked.
"The auction will end a few days before, held once every month, so we can just go directly when the time comes," Wang Dong'er replied calmly.
"You're right. The Haotian Sect cannot remain stagnant; it's time to go out and witness the developments and changes in the Douluo Continent," the Sky Blue Bull Python said with a sigh, a hint of sentiment in his voice.
He was well aware that, over the years, the sect's decisions might have been somewhat one-sided.
After dinner, Wang Dong'er left.
The Sky Blue Bull Python and the Titan exchanged solemn looks before heading toward the innermost part of the sect.
"Titan, I think we should ask Tang San and learn about the origins of the Star Auction House. Since it's located in Shrek City and Winter is in Shrek Academy, if any danger arises, we might not be able to act immediately," the Sky Blue Bull Python said anxiously.
"Moreover, according to Winter, the Star Auction House houses real god-level powerhouses. If something were to happen, even with our combined strength, we might not be able to guarantee Winter's safety."
The Sky Blue Bull Python said with concern.
In the past, the combined power of the two of them was considered invincible across the Douluo Continent.
However, with the appearance of the Star Auction House, Winter's safety had become uncertain.
Thus, they had to find a way to eliminate all potential dangers.
"You have a point. With the current strength of the Haotian Sect, it is indeed difficult to investigate the origins of the Star Auction House. We can only ask Tang San. He's in the divine realm, so he must know everything that's happening on the Douluo Continent," the Titan nodded slightly, agreeing with the Sky Blue Bull Python's view.
The two quickly arrived at the deepest part of the sect.
At the very center stood a massive statue.
This statue depicted Tang San holding a trident. Although it was only a sculpture, it was carved so vividly that it seemed alive.
Especially the powerful aura emanating from the statue, which made the surrounding space ripple slightly.
"Let's begin."
The Sky Blue Bull Python approached the statue, his expression filled with respect.
He and the Titan exchanged a glance before channeling their Ultimate Douluo soul power into the statue.
Instantly, as their power entered the statue, the entire space seemed to tremble.
However, after quite some time, the statue didn't show any signs of releasing any powerful aura.
This scene left the Sky Blue Bull Python and the Titan filled with confusion.
They continued to pour their power in, but the statue still remained motionless.
After several attempts, the result remained the same!
"What's going on? Why hasn't there been any response after such a long time?"
The Sky Blue Bull Python murmured in confusion.
In the past, whenever they injected their power, they would quickly receive a response from Tang San.
But now, after several attempts, there was no result, and they couldn't shake off the ominous feeling rising in their hearts.
"Could it be that Tang San is busy with something else and hasn't noticed our call?" the Titan wondered aloud, though his tone was uncertain.
"It's impossible. Tang San has said before that this statue is closely linked to his divine consciousness. Since we've already infused our power into it, he must have sensed it immediately," the Sky Blue Bull Python replied with certainty.
"Moreover, Winter is on the Douluo Continent. If something truly happens, Tang San would never remain silent."
The Sky Blue Bull Python said, his voice filled with resolve, though a trace of concern remained in his eyes.
"Could it be that something has happened in the divine realm?"
Suddenly, the Sky Blue Bull Python felt a bad premonition rise in his heart.
Tang San hadn't responded immediately, so the only possibility was that he had encountered danger.
But that was something hard to understand.
