Chapter 114: The Winner: Nine Treasure Glazed Tile School
"The specific effect of this Soul Skill Recording Scroll is as follows. Now, the auction officially begins, with a starting price of 20 million Gold Soul Coins, and each bid must increase by at least 1 million Gold Soul Coins."
Lei Yao's voice was like a thunderclap, carrying an undeniable authority, as he decisively announced the starting price.
As soon as his words fell, the atmosphere in the entire Star Auction Hall immediately erupted, like a powder keg ignited, and the fierce competition exploded.
The representatives from the major factions had sharp eyes like hawks, tightly gripping their auction paddles.
Their posture suggested that they were not just holding paddles but holding the key to rewriting the fate of their sects or academies.
For this Soul Skill Recording Scroll, they had long been preparing, determined to find every possible way to obtain it.
"20 million Gold Soul Coins!"
The head of the Nine Treasure Glazed Tile School made the first bid. His face was solemn, and his eyes gleamed with endless hope for the future of his school.
"25 million Gold Soul Coins!"
The stern voice of Du Bu Si rang out, as the Body Sect, known for their powerful body martial souls, made their bid.
In his heart, if they could use this scroll to learn powerful soul skills from others, the disciples of the Body Sect would gain more diverse and stronger offensive abilities.
At that point, the Body Sect's position in the soul master world would be as solid as a rock, impossible to shake.
"27 million Gold Soul Coins!"
Yan Shaozhe from Shrek Academy followed without hesitation. His posture was upright, and his voice was strong and forceful.
Shrek Academy already had a plethora of powerful soul masters, including many Title Douluos.
He knew that if they could transform the ninth soul skill of another powerful soul master into their own self-created soul skill, the academy's teaching level would make a qualitative leap, and the students' strength would soar.
Shrek Academy's position as the leader in the soul master world would become even more unshakable.
For Shrek Academy's future development, this scroll was an indispensable treasure.
No matter the cost, it must be secured.
The bidding voices rose and fell like roaring waves, one after another, as the price kept climbing with the fierce competition.
Each increase in price came with deep consideration and fierce negotiation from the different factions.
The atmosphere in the hall became tense, and a war without smoke was unfolding in full force.
The price soon broke the 50 million mark, yet the various factions still showed no sign of retreating.
In their eyes, these Gold Soul Coins seemed like just a series of numbers. For the Soul Skill Recording Scroll, they stubbornly raised the price time and time again, unwilling to easily give up.
"80 million Gold Soul Coins!"
The head of the Nine Treasure Glazed Tile School made another big move, increasing the bid by 30 million Gold Soul Coins. His momentum seemed as if he was about to snatch the scroll into his arms.
The Nine Treasure Glazed Tile School had long struggled with the weakness of their martial soul, which had restricted the combat power of their disciples.
Now, this scroll brought hope for change, as it could turn powerful offensive soul skills into self-created ones. What an opportunity!
Previously, the school had successfully evolved a talented disciple's martial soul into the Nine Treasure Glazed Tile Tower martial soul with the help of a unique treasure.
This time, they were even more unwilling to miss the opportunity and vowed to seize this chance to change their destiny.
As the price skyrocketed, some factions chose to withdraw, but Shrek Academy, the Body Sect, the Holy Spirit Church, and other top factions from Douluo Continent still relentlessly pursued, giving no ground.
...
As time passed, the competition grew even fiercer.
Everyone in the room held their breath, filled with curiosity. Who would end up with the coveted Soul Skill Recording Scroll?
Half an hour passed in the blink of an eye.
When the Nine Treasure Glazed Tile School made the final bid of 300 million Gold Soul Coins, the entire hall suddenly fell silent.
Shrek Academy, the Body Sect, and other factions that had been fiercely competing before, all sighed helplessly, their eyes full of reluctance and regret, but they could only withdraw from the competition.
This Soul Skill Recording Scroll was indeed powerful. If it could replicate soul skills infinitely, it would be worth spending any amount of Gold Soul Coins.
But sadly, it only had nine uses.
After careful consideration, Shrek Academy and the other factions realized that 300 million Gold Soul Coins could be used to cultivate a Soul Sage, and with luck, it could even elevate them to the level of a Title Douluo.
Weighing the pros and cons, Shrek Academy and the other factions could only reluctantly give up the fight.
Lei Yao's gaze was sharp as he slowly scanned the entire auction hall.
The room was completely silent, not a sound could be heard. He wasn't sure if anyone would continue bidding, so he patiently waited for a moment.
As time passed, no one broke the suffocating silence.
"300 million Gold Soul Coins once!"
Lei Yao's voice echoed through the quiet hall, tinged with expectation.
"300 million Gold Soul Coins twice!"
He spoke again, his eyes showing a hint of seriousness.
"300 million Gold Soul Coins three times!"
Lei Yao called out one final time, his gaze sweeping around the room.
Confirming that no one else was bidding, he knew the result of this competition. He then picked up the auction hammer, his expression solemn.
"Sold!"
Lei Yao's voice rang out, "Congratulations to the Nine Treasure Glazed Tile School for winning: the Soul Skill Recording Scroll."
The members of the Nine Treasure Glazed Tile School, hearing this, sighed in relief and exhaled deeply, their faces breaking into bright and satisfied smiles.
With this scroll, the disciples of their sect would no longer be limited to support roles. Their overall strength would undergo a radical transformation.
Everyone in the school had already begun to plan carefully in their minds how to maximize the use of the scroll and enhance the strength of their disciples.
"Alright, with the third item now settled, it's time to unveil the fourth auction item. Let me give you a heads-up: I believe none of you will be able to refuse this one."
After handing the Soul Skill Recording Scroll to the Nine Treasure Glazed Tile School, Lei Yao's face once again showed a mysterious smile.
This remark was like a heavy bomb, instantly piquing everyone's curiosity.
As the fourth item, it would undoubtedly be even more powerful and extraordinary than the first three.
Now, with Lei Yao's introduction, everyone was even more eager, their eyes filled with anticipation, eager to know what it was.
Seeing this, Lei Yao didn't hesitate and gently waved his hand. The fourth auction item slowly appeared.
In an instant, the air in the entire hall seemed to freeze, and everyone's gaze was unconsciously drawn to it.
It was a golden spherical object floating inside a transparent protective shield, radiating a divine and powerful aura, as if it contained boundless mysterious energy.
Even through the protective shield, everyone could still clearly feel the terrifying energy inside, as if it were a sleeping giant beast.
Once awakened, it would surely shake the heavens.
On the surface of the sphere, mysterious symbols slowly rotated, its glow flickering as if silently telling the story of its extraordinary origin.
"The fourth auction item, a God-given Soul Ring."
Lei Yao's voice was soft, yet it sounded like a thunderclap in everyone's ears.
"If a soul master's physical strength is strong enough, the age of this soul ring can reach up to 100,000 years."
