Chapter 109: The External Soul Bone
"Hm?"
As everyone was waiting, a shocking scene occurred.
When Poison Immortal passed by the purple-robed man, the leader of the Body Sect, he slightly furrowed his brows and instinctively took a half-step back.
This seemingly casual action, unnoticed by most, caused a huge stir among those who observed carefully.
What kind of terrifying power could make a 98th-level Super Douluo feel pressured?
Everyone in the crowd began to speculate about the true strength of the purple-robed man, and their anticipation for the auction grew even more.
After a while, all the soul masters who had come to participate in the auction had taken their seats.
In the hall, whispers began among the crowd.
"What auction items will the Star Auction House present this time? How extraordinary will the final grand item be?"
"I just hope this auction will live up to the previous one."
"..."
Before the auction started, the soul masters below continued to discuss excitedly.
They had been looking forward to this auction for an entire month, and the previous auction had already left a lasting impression on them.
They all had a feeling that this auction would not disappoint them either.
They were eager to see many treasures they had never seen before.
As the murmurs continued, the purple-robed man slowly walked up to the central platform.
His gaze swept across the entire room like that of a hawk, and even though he didn't intentionally release any pressure, there seemed to be an invisible force that made the entire hall fall silent, so quiet you could hear a pin drop.
"I am Lei Yao, and I will be hosting this auction today."
The man's voice wasn't loud, but it clearly reached everyone's ears, as if it had a special kind of magic.
"First, I would like to thank all of you for traveling from far and wide. The rules of the Star Auction House remain the same—highest bidder wins, no forced buying or selling. Those who break this rule will bear the consequences."
With those words, Lei Yao lightly waved his right hand, and a purple light curtain instantly enveloped the entire auction stage.
The light curtain shimmered with mysterious patterns, emitting an eerie aura of destruction, as though it contained boundless power, causing a sense of awe.
"This is... the power of an Extreme Douluo?"
Poison Immortal's pupils contracted, and as a 98th-level Super Douluo, he couldn't see through the depth of the purple light curtain. His expression grew more serious.
He had felt Lei Yao's aura up close earlier, and now he was even more certain—this person's strength was definitely above his own!
Thinking about this, Poison Immortal couldn't help but feel a chill in his heart, secretly marveling at the strength of the Star Auction House.
"Enough talk, let's begin the first item of the auction."
Lei Yao ignored the astonishment of the crowd, and with a single motion, a rift in space appeared out of nowhere.
He pulled out a bone glowing with a dark golden light from the rift.
Instantly, the entire hall was filled with a powerful aura, causing everyone's breath to catch in their throats.
"This is a soul bone from a ten-thousand-year soul beast…"
As soon as Lei Yao spoke, a collective sigh of disappointment echoed from the audience.
Although a ten-thousand-year soul bone was extremely rare, it wasn't too surprising to the top forces present.
They had seen countless treasures, and an ordinary ten-thousand-year soul bone couldn't stir much interest in them.
A faint smile appeared on Lei Yao's lips as he spoke with a mysterious expression: "However, this is not just any soul bone. This is an External Soul Bone—specifically, the right paw bone of a Dark Gold Fearclaw Bear."
"What?!"
The hall erupted in surprise, and everyone jumped to their feet, their eyes filled with shock and disbelief.
"An External Soul Bone? Isn't that the legendary…"
Xu Tianran stood up abruptly, his eyes flashing with excitement, and his breathing quickened.
External Soul Bones were extremely rare on the Douluo Continent. Legend said they possessed incredible powers, making them treasures coveted by soul masters across the world.
Lei Yao nodded and continued, "Exactly, it's an External Soul Bone that evolves with the soul master's growth. I'm sure you've heard of Tang San's Eight Spider Lances from a thousand years ago. At first, it was just the soul bone of a thousand-year soul beast, but it eventually evolved into a god-level soul bone."
As he spoke, he suspended the soul bone in the air.
The dark golden bone surface shimmered with intricate patterns, seemingly imbued with some mysterious power. There were even faint roars of a bear echoing through the hall, making everyone feel as though they were standing in the domain of the Dark Gold Fearclaw Bear, feeling its immense pressure.
"Damn!"
In the soul beast camp, Xiong Jun saw the first auction item of the Star Auction House and was filled with rage. His eyes turned red, and he exuded a violent aura.
The Dark Gold Fearclaw Bear clan was already known for its fierceness and dominance in the Star Dou Forest. He never expected that one of their kin had fallen to the hands of humans.
However, he didn't dare unleash his anger on the Star Auction House. If he acted recklessly here, the consequences would surely be disastrous.
He could only suppress his anger, his eyes filled with unwillingness.
"Has any of the Dark Gold Fearclaw Bear clan recently been killed by humans?"
Di Tian frowned, his eyes filled with confusion.
He found this situation quite frustrating. After all, the rules on the Douluo Continent were clear: humans hunted soul beasts to increase their strength, which was a common occurrence.
What he found odd, however, was that the Dark Gold Fearclaw Bear clan was exceptionally strong, and they mostly lived in the core area of the Star Dou Forest. It was rare for a soul master to successfully hunt one of them.
Yet, he hadn't heard any news of a Dark Gold Fearclaw Bear being killed by humans recently.
"No, not recently. This soul bone was most likely left behind from one that was killed by a human soul master long ago," Xiong Jun sighed, his tone filled with sadness and helplessness.
The Dark Gold Fearclaw Bear clan had been hunted by human soul masters for many years. This soul bone was likely left from a long time ago, a sad reminder of the clan's tragic history.
"After our examination, this External Soul Bone not only retains the Dark Gold Fearclaw Bear's tremendous offensive power but also contains a powerful bloodline due to a mutation."
"The starting price is five million gold soul coins, with a minimum increment of five hundred thousand gold soul coins."
As soon as Lei Yao finished speaking, Xu Tianran raised his bidding paddle first and shouted, "Six million!"
External Soul Bones were extremely rare, and it was unheard of for such an item to be up for auction. Especially one from a ten-thousand-year soul beast with such a strong bloodline.
How could Xu Tianran not be tempted?
This soul bone resonated strongly with his martial soul, and for an item that could greatly enhance his strength, he was determined to win it.
"Six and a half million!"
Poison Immortal followed closely, his eyes full of determination.
This Dark Gold Fearclaw Bear's soul bone was incredibly valuable to the Body Sect as well.
The Body Sect was famous for its physical martial souls, and this soul bone could further enhance the strength of their martial souls.
Whether he used it himself or gave it to the talented younger generation of the Body Sect, it would have tremendous benefits. Thus, he would never let it slip through his fingers.
