Chapter 154: Emperor Tian's Premonition
"Since that's the case, let's make our move and secure it at auction. Although the final auction item is indeed very powerful, we still don't know exactly what it is."
Niu Tian pondered for a moment and then followed Titan's suggestion, preparing to compete fiercely for this elite martial soul.
"We'll make our move during the auction. We must also be prepared. The powers of Douluo Continent are vast and hidden; every force holds a substantial amount of gold soul coins. We're about to enter a fierce battle."
Titan looked around, noticing the intense desire in the eyes of various top-tier forces.
The scorching gazes seemed to burn through the Seven-Colored Divine Staff, which made Titan feel immense pressure.
He silently thought to himself, this martial soul would not be easy to obtain.
Niu Tian didn't say much, sitting quietly in his chair, his eyes revealing a hint of tension and anticipation.
He was waiting for the auction to begin.
Thus, the Haotian Sect, the Nine Treasure Glazed Tile School, Shrek Academy, the Sun Moon Empire, the Star Luo Empire, the Body Sect, and other forces all expressed their amazement at this martial soul.
The auction hall was filled with a tense and intense atmosphere, as if a war without smoke was about to break out.
"The exact function of the Seven-Colored Divine Staff martial soul, as I've introduced before, although it can only attach seven soul rings, its abilities will definitely exceed your imagination. You can rest assured."
Ling Yun spoke again, her voice filled with confidence.
"The reason we are putting this martial soul up for auction is precisely because it can only attach seven soul rings. If it could attach nine soul rings, perhaps you wouldn't be seeing this incredible martial soul today."
A smile flashed in Ling Yun's eyes, as if telling an unknown secret.
"The starting bid for this Seven-Colored Divine Staff martial soul is 100 million gold soul coins. Each bid must be raised by no less than 10 million gold soul coins. The auction officially begins now."
Ling Yun didn't delay and immediately took the auction hammer, striking it down heavily.
The crisp sound of the hammer was like the sound of a trumpet, officially announcing the start of the auction.
"100 million gold soul coins!"
Almost as soon as the hammer fell, a voice rang out from a corner of the auction hall, breaking the brief silence.
Immediately after, another voice shouted, unwilling to be outdone: "110 million gold soul coins!"
"120 million gold soul coins!"
As the auction began, although everyone was surprised by the starting price of 100 million gold soul coins, this price immediately crushed any thoughts of participating from many forces.
However, when they thought about it, this was indeed an elite martial soul, so a high starting price seemed somewhat justified.
The auction hall was filled with the sounds of competing bids, one after another, with each force displaying its financial strength. To fight for this magical martial soul, no one was holding back.
At this moment, Jiang Li, sitting on the fourth floor, quietly watched the auction of this martial soul. His eyes flashed with indifference.
When he first drew this martial soul, he was equally amazed by its abilities.
He originally planned to keep it for himself. Although it could only attach seven soul rings, with the power of controlling seven types of elemental forces, it was still a decent martial soul.
However, after Jiang Li delved deeper into the powers of this martial soul, he decisively decided to put it up for auction.
Although this martial soul could control seven elemental forces, the power unlocked by each was not at the extreme level of attributes.
Moreover, although the elemental forces could be used for attack, control, and support, the amount of time required to fully research this martial soul was far too long, making it not worth the effort.
It was also impossible to train every type of soul skill to its peak level.
The ultimate power it could unleash was, in his view, somewhat disappointing. This was the main reason he chose to abandon it.
He himself already possessed the Nine-Colored Divine Lotus martial soul, which allowed him to control nine types of extreme attribute forces.
The powers of this martial soul conflicted with his own, and it wasn't worth keeping.
As for why he didn't give this Seven-Colored Divine Staff martial soul to Ling Yun or Lei Yao to absorb, it was because he still had other more powerful martial souls.
There was no need for this Seven-Colored Divine Staff to occupy their second martial soul slots.
In Jiang Li's view, although the Seven-Colored Divine Staff was strong, it wasn't irreplaceable for him or those around him.
However, for many of the forces present, this martial soul could be the key to changing their fate and increasing their power.
This auction was destined to be extraordinarily intense, filled with suspense.
The Spirit Beast faction.
Emperor Tian, who had originally shown little interest in the first three auction items, suddenly shifted his focus when he heard about the fourth item, especially when he realized that this Seven-Colored Divine Staff could control elemental forces.
A look of deep thought appeared in Emperor Tian's eyes.
"This is somewhat similar to our leader's abilities."
At that moment, Bi Ji, standing beside him, spoke in confusion, noting that their leader controlled elemental forces.
She hadn't expected that a martial soul could actually produce such powerful and practical powers.
"Overall, it's quite similar, but the level of control over the elemental forces and the strength difference is simply too great. Our leader has reached the extreme level of power with each force, while this martial soul is not considered that strong."
"Moreover, this martial soul can only attach seven soul rings. If it could attach nine, I would decisively bid for it. It absolutely cannot be allowed for a human soul master to absorb this martial soul."
Emperor Tian said with a solemn expression.
After all, their leader's abilities were extraordinary, and even if this martial soul was similar to their leader's powers, it was still a noteworthy martial soul.
"It seems like we might leave empty-handed this time. We'll have to wait for the final auction item, hoping it will bring us a different surprise."
At that moment, Wan Yao Wang sighed deeply. This auction was almost entirely a human soul master's arena.
"Wait for the final auction item. I have a premonition that the last auction item may be the one to change the fate of our Spirit Beast tribe."
Emperor Tian couldn't help but speak out.
For some reason, he had a feeling, deep down, that the last auction item was not simple.
Other spirit beasts, hearing Emperor Tian's words, fell silent, but they didn't take it seriously.
The current situation between the spirit beasts and soul masters on Douluo Continent had long been established.
Humans hunted spirit beasts to acquire soul rings and soul bones to enhance their power, while the spirit beasts were helpless.
With the human forces growing stronger and the gods in the divine realm watching closely, the spirit beasts couldn't fully fight back.
They only had themselves to blame for the lack of strong power in their ranks, making resistance impossible.
However, the emergence of the Star Auction Hall had given them great hope.
