Chapter 155: The Final Item: A New Way to Obtain Soul Rings?
If they could seize this opportunity, the Spirit Beast Clan really might be able to fight back and return to the era when the Spirit Beasts ruled the divine realm.
As time passed, the price soared at an incredible rate.
Many forces were competing fiercely, their faces flushed with excitement!
Each force wanted to obtain this Seven-Colored Divine Staff martial soul to enhance their own strength and nurture a future top-tier dual martial soul genius.
Currently, dual martial soul geniuses were extremely rare on Douluo Continent. If nothing unexpected happened, those with dual martial souls would undoubtedly become the most powerful beings on the continent.
"500 million gold soul coins!"
Ning Qitian from the Nine Treasure Glazed Tile School raised his bidding paddle again, his expression calm as he participated in this intense competition.
He didn't want to let this Seven-Colored Divine Staff slip through his fingers and into the hands of other forces. It was a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity to bid for such a top-tier martial soul.
He was well-prepared this time. Even though the Nine Treasure Glazed Tile School had spent a large portion of their gold soul coins during the last Star Treasury event, their sect was rich enough to rival entire nations.
A mere 500 million gold soul coins was still within their reach.
"510 million gold soul coins!"
Yan Shaozhe from Shrek Academy quickly followed Ning Qitian's bid, raising his paddle to continue competing.
Soon after, other forces such as the Holy Spirit Church, the Body Sect, the Sun Moon Empire, and others continued to engage in fierce bidding.
The atmosphere in the auction hall became extremely heated.
On the fourth floor, Jiang Li looked down at the intense competition below, a smile appearing on his face.
However, what Jiang Li looked forward to the most was the moment when the final auction item would be revealed. Perhaps it would shake the entire Douluo Continent.
Moreover, the forces that could remain calm might actually be the true winners of this auction.
Jiang Li's gaze wandered back and forth between the Spirit Beast Clan, Shrek Academy, the Holy Spirit Church, the Body Sect, and other top forces of Douluo Continent. He wasn't sure how many gold soul coins these forces had at their disposal.
So, he really couldn't predict who would win the final item.
More than ten minutes passed quickly.
"1.6 billion gold soul coins!"
Titan from the Haotian Sect called out this shocking price, raising the bid by 200 million from the previous 1.4 billion, bringing it to such an outrageous level.
When everyone heard this aggressive bid, they couldn't help but gasp in surprise.
Even the top forces like the Holy Spirit Church, Nine Treasure Glazed Tile School, and Shrek Academy turned their eyes to Niu Tian and Titan.
As the price reached this point, almost all of the top forces withdrew from the competition.
After all, the price was simply too high.
"Which force are these people from? Why are they so wealthy?"
Yan Shaozhe's gaze shifted to Niu Tian and Titan, who sat at the front of the Haotian Sect area, sensing the subtle yet powerful aura emanating from them.
This made him realize immediately that these two were no ordinary people, and a sense of caution grew within him.
"Stop bidding. These two are not simple. Their strength may very well match mine."
Elder Xuan furrowed his brow as he looked at Niu Tian and Titan, his heart stirred with shock.
He hadn't expected that two unfamiliar Limit Douluo powerhouses had appeared on Douluo Continent.
"Elder Xuan, are you saying these two are Limit Douluo?"
Xian Lin'er, who was beside Elder Xuan, was also deeply shocked upon hearing his words.
Shrek Academy had informants all over Douluo Continent, and they had never heard of two new Limit Douluo powerhouses. What was going on?
"I suspect that this force is the Haotian Sect, which has been in hiding for many years. The appearance of the Star Auction Hall has forced even hidden powers like the Haotian Sect to reveal themselves."
Elder Xuan pondered in his mind, gradually deducing the force that Niu Tian and Titan belonged to.
As far as the open forces on Douluo Continent went, he was certain he had never seen these two Limit Douluo powerhouses before.
The only possibility was a hidden force.
And among the hidden forces, only the Haotian Sect possessed such power.
"The once number one sect in the world: Haotian Sect. I didn't expect even they would appear."
When Yan Shaozhe and the others heard the Haotian Sect's name, their eyes filled with shock.
Thinking back on everything that the Star Auction Hall had done in the past year, it was not surprising that the Haotian Sect had emerged.
"We should give up. With the Haotian Sect reappearing, I wonder how it will affect Shrek Academy."
After thinking for a moment, Elder Xuan decided to withdraw from the competition.
Upon hearing Elder Xuan's order, the others from Shrek Academy said no more.
After all, the Haotian Sect had been hidden for so many years.
Although Shrek Academy had a close relationship with the Haotian Sect a thousand years ago, no one could say for certain whether that connection still existed.
Shrek Academy was at a critical juncture, and it was best not to provoke such a formidable enemy.
It seemed that other forces had also deduced the existence of the Haotian Sect and collectively withdrew from the competition.
On one hand, they didn't want to provoke the Haotian Sect.
On the other hand, their gold soul coins simply couldn't match the 1.6 billion gold soul coins bid.
Some forces could raise such a large amount of gold soul coins, but they wanted to save it for the final auction item.
If the fourth auction item had such a top-tier martial soul, how precious would the final item be?
"Phew!"
At this point, Titan looked around with a serious expression, noticing that no one else had raised the bid. He breathed a sigh of relief.
But they still didn't dare relax their vigilance.
Ling Yun noticed the silence in the Star Auction Hall and glanced around the room.
After a moment, she confirmed that no one had raised the bid and spoke to finalize the auction.
"1.6 billion gold soul coins, once!"
"1.6 billion gold soul coins, twice!"
"1.6 billion gold soul coins, three times!"
"Since no one has raised the bid, I hereby announce that this auction item, the Seven-Colored Divine Staff martial soul, is sold for 1.6 billion gold soul coins!"
After confirming that no one else would bid, Ling Yun directly announced the final owner of the Seven-Colored Divine Staff martial soul.
"Phew!"
Titan and Niu Tian sighed in relief upon hearing that the Seven-Colored Divine Staff had been successfully obtained by the Haotian Sect.
Even as the auction for the fourth item ended, the atmosphere in the hall remained intense.
Finally, it was time to present the last auction item, and everyone was on edge, eager to see what the final auction item would be, and how extraordinary it would be.
"I believe everyone is eagerly anticipating the auction of the last item. We will now proceed with the final and most important auction item."
Ling Yun noticed the anticipation in everyone's eyes and didn't keep them waiting.
"Perhaps you all know that the current ways soul masters obtain their soul rings on Douluo Continent are: the first is by hunting spirit beasts and absorbing the soul rings that come from their death; the second method is through the divine soul rings granted by the gods."
"I wonder if you can think of a third method for obtaining soul rings?"
Ling Yun raised a question, her eyes sweeping over the room.
"Huh? What's going on?"
"Could the last auction item be a completely new method for obtaining soul rings?"
"…"
Upon hearing Ling Yun's words, the crowd fell into deep thought. After all, everything Ling Yun had said up to this point had been far from baseless.
At present, the only two ways they could think of to absorb soul rings were those mentioned.
The idea of a third method stirred a deep excitement in their hearts.
As expected of the Star Auction Hall—great treasures always seem to come in endless supply.
