Chapter 111: The Wealthy and Mighty Di Tian
"Calm down, this dragon egg isn't right."
Gu Yue Na, who had initially been very displeased by the Star Auction House's decision to auction a dragon egg, felt that openly auctioning a dragon egg was excessive.
However, she keenly sensed that this dragon egg seemed to be different from those of soul beasts.
After all, the birth of all soul beasts was closely tied to the Dragon God's bloodline, yet she didn't detect a single trace of soul beast aura from this dragon egg.
What shocked Gu Yue Na even more was that the vitality contained in the dragon egg made her feel a great sense of pressure, which deeply unsettled her.
Her bloodline was the highest among all soul beasts, and besides the complete Dragon God, her bloodline was the supreme symbol of the soul beast race.
Yet here she was, feeling the pressure from the bloodline of a dragon egg.
This made Gu Yue Na increasingly certain that this dragon egg did not belong to the soul beast race.
"Everyone, pay close attention to the faint aura this dragon egg is releasing," she said, noticing the fierce beasts around her looking confused.
Her calm voice drew their focus.
Soon, they too noticed the anomaly.
Di Tian furrowed his brow and asked Gu Yue Na with a puzzled expression, "Master, what's going on? Why doesn't this dragon egg carry the aura of the soul beast race?"
Xiong Jun, Wan Yao Wang, and the others were equally confused, their eyes filled with uncertainty.
"The answer is obvious. This dragon egg doesn't belong to the Douluo Continent," Gu Yue Na revealed the shocking truth, causing an instant stir among the beasts present.
With so many different species in the world, it was not surprising to encounter one that rivaled the soul beasts. However, none of them had expected to come across a dragon egg that didn't belong to the Douluo Continent in such an environment.
Di Tian and the other fierce beasts were taken aback by this revelation, but they quickly recovered.
"Regardless of whether this dragon egg belongs to the soul beast race, we cannot let it fall into the hands of human soul masters," Di Tian silently made up his mind, his gaze resolute.
He knew that the bloodline within this dragon egg was incredibly powerful. If it were nurtured, the dragon race would gain a formidable ally in the future.
This would greatly enhance their chances in the future conflict against the divine realm.
"As for the concept of a pet egg, I'm sure you aren't too familiar with it. Let me briefly explain. A pet egg is one that forms a symbiotic relationship with its human partner after a contract is signed…" Lei Yao began to explain the details of the pet egg.
"This egg can hatch into a Night Elf Dragon hatchling, which possesses both dark and life attributes. Once a contract is signed, the hatchling will absolutely obey its owner and grow alongside them, effectively becoming a lifelong combat partner."
"Moreover, the Night Elf Dragon has immense potential, and its strength after maturity is no joke."
Lei Yao's words made the representatives of the various factions' eyes light up. They all began to make calculations in their minds.
They could see the enormous potential and value behind this pet egg. Imagining having such a powerful combat partner would certainly give them a huge advantage.
"Let me remind you all. Cultivating this pet egg will consume an immense amount of resources. However, the rewards you reap in the end will not disappoint you. The starting price for this pet egg is twenty million gold soul coins, with a minimum increase of one million gold soul coins."
While Lei Yao had spoken about the advantages of the pet egg, he also warned them of the cultivation difficulty.
To raise this pet egg to adulthood would require resources that most factions simply couldn't afford.
It would require not only vast amounts of gold soul coins but also various rare resources.
"Twenty million!"
Di Tian was the first to raise his paddle, his tone serious, and his voice firm.
He had already made up his mind—he would get this dragon egg no matter what, and he couldn't let one of his kind fall into the hands of humans.
As for the difficulty of cultivation mentioned by Lei Yao, he wasn't worried. In his view, the Star Dou Forest was rich in resources, and with the countless rare treasures there, raising a powerful dragon was not a difficult task.
Once this dragon egg was fully hatched, he would start considering how to allocate resources to nurture it.
"Twenty-five million gold soul coins!"
Zhong Liwu from the Sacred Spirit Sect also showed great interest in the pet egg. His eyes were gleaming with greed.
In the history of the Sacred Spirit Sect, there had been attempts to enslave soul beasts for their own use.
However, due to the prideful nature of soul beasts, who would rather die than submit, this plan had to be aborted.
Nevertheless, the Sacred Spirit Sect had never given up on finding a way to fully control soul beasts.
Unexpectedly, the Star Auction House was offering a dragon egg that could be nurtured from a young age through a contract. This meant they could avoid the consequences of betrayal in the future.
On one hand, Zhong Liwu wanted to personally nurture a powerful dragon, and on the other hand, the Sacred Spirit Sect had no qualms about resources.
With their massive foundation, he was confident they could bear the costs of the cultivation.
What interested Zhong Liwu even more was the contract ritual introduced by the Star Auction House. If he could learn more about it, the Sacred Spirit Sect could potentially enslave a large number of soul beasts using this method.
Then, the day the Sacred Spirit Sect united the Douluo Continent would be much closer.
If Jiang Li knew of Zhong Liwu's plans, he would surely scoff.
The system's contract ritual was only a one-time use, and even Jiang Li himself didn't have a complete version of the ritual.
For Zhong Liwu to extract useful information from it would almost be impossible.
"Thirty million gold soul coins!"
Xu Jiawei from the Star Luo Empire immediately raised his paddle without hesitation. He was also deeply interested in the pet egg and the contract ritual, participating in the competition with a mindset of exploration.
And so, the competition grew more intense.
Most of the factions quickly joined in, and the price skyrocketed like a rocket soaring toward the sky.
Di Tian, watching the various factions, especially the human soul masters bidding, snorted coldly.
He was done wasting time with them and directly raised his paddle.
"Two hundred million gold soul coins!"
Di Tian's voice boomed like a bell, reverberating through the entire auction hall. The astronomical price shocked everyone.
The price surged from the initial forty million to two hundred million gold soul coins, leaving everyone stunned.
Everyone gasped, and all eyes turned to Di Tian and his group.
Upon seeing Di Tian, the crowd instantly understood. They had previously seen him bidding without a care for the gold soul coins.
Moreover, they had sensed the strength of Di Tian and his group, so no one said anything further.
As soon as Di Tian shouted the price, almost all the factions fell silent.
The price was too high, far beyond what they had anticipated.
On the other hand, this pet egg was a new and unfamiliar item to them. No one could guarantee whether it could successfully be raised to adulthood.
If it died prematurely, not only would they waste vast amounts of gold soul coins, but they would also squander many resources.
Given this uncertainty, many factions were reluctant to take the risk and gambled cautiously, fearing failure.
