From Douluo Dalu to Queen

Chapter 173: Opportunity for Soul Evolution

Colleen didn't keep everyone in suspense. After she finished speaking, she grabbed the red cloth and pulled it hard, revealing something in the cage - a cute little girl dressed very decently.

"This is the daughter of Duke Parsons of the Xingluo Empire. Duke Parsons was imprisoned by the Xingluo royal family for treason and will be executed soon. Of course, this is not important. What is important is that his house was raided and such a miraculous daughter was found."

Colleen looked at the little girl in the cage, who was probably only ten years old, and explained to the customers below the stage.

Seeing that she was keeping the secret, a customer in the audience immediately said, "Stop talking nonsense. She is just the daughter of a criminal. Tell us what is so special about her!"

"That's right! If it has no special functions and is used as the finale, isn't that cheating?"

Everyone was dissatisfied with Colleen's keeping the secret, but no one felt pity for the little girl in the cage. In everyone's eyes, she was just a commodity to be sold at a price.

"Okay, okay, it seems that the customers are in a hurry, so I will just tell them directly."

After receiving so many negative reviews and even insults, Ke Lin realized that it was unwise to keep the secret, so she introduced directly: "The special thing about this girl is her martial soul. Her martial soul does not have any potential, nor does it have any function, let alone can be used for cultivation or to collect spirit rings."

"But her martial spirit is a treasure bestowed by heaven. It is useless to herself, but it has incomparable great benefits to her partner!"

Having learned from the last lesson, Colleen said without further ado:

"That is, the martial spirit is strengthened! Even evolved!"

As soon as this statement came out, everyone in the audience was shocked.

Even with the knowledge of the most upper-class people in the Tiandou Empire, they had never heard of such a horrifying thing. Can the martial spirit be strengthened?

"Yes, it is the strengthening of the martial spirit." Ke Lin was very satisfied with the audience's shock. Then she reached into the cage, grabbed the poor little girl's hair, let her pretty face face the audience, and then continued to explain:
"As the daughter of the Duke, her appearance is naturally beyond description. It would be a good choice to buy her home as a plaything. Unfortunately, she is just a disposable item. After the unspeakable things happen, she will die and provide a martial soul enhancement for the person who took her virginity. If you are lucky, it is not impossible for her to directly evolve into a higher-level martial soul~"

After hearing Colleen's confirmation, everyone showed greedy eyes. It was obvious that this thing had great appeal to everyone.

As for whether they will die or not, that is not something they consider at all. Once they are put on the auction, they are no longer considered human beings, but only objects or pets.

"Okay, everyone, for this opportunity to advance your martial spirit, the base price is only 200,000 gold soul coins, and each bid must not be less than 10,000!"

As soon as Ke Lin finished speaking, a voice of quotation suddenly rang out:

"Two hundred and fifty thousand!"

"Three hundred thousand!"

"Four hundred thousand!"

Seeing that the auction could begin, no one said anything extra and everyone started scrambling to buy the items, and the prices soared.

"Third brother, she is so pitiful. Can we let her go after we buy her?" Xiao Wu was a very sentimental rabbit. Seeing that the Duke's daughter was so pitiful, she felt pity for her.

Tang San smiled bitterly. In just half a minute, the price of this girl was raised to 800,000 gold coins. How could he afford it?
"It's useless. She is the daughter of a guilty minister. She is very lucky to have a way to die. If it were any other worthless female relative, I'm afraid..."

Leng Xiyao shook her head and directly exposed this cruel fact. Anyone who could become a duke in the Xingluo Empire must have countless military exploits. Could such a hero commit treason?

It was obvious that someone had set a trap for the Duke's daughter because he saw her value.

Based on the price increase, the final result should probably be around two to three million gold soul coins. No one can remain unmoved by such a huge fortune. If a powerful official really wants to take action against the military hero, even a duke will be nothing.

If you can eliminate a political enemy and earn a huge amount of gold soul coins, why not do it?
"Even if we save her, what can we do? As a young lady who can't do anything and can't practice, if we save her, it will bring us countless troubles." Leng Xiyao shrugged and said.

Everyone was very surprised to hear Leng Xiyao's words. In their opinion, it was just about saving one person, so why would it be so troublesome?
Only Tian Meng and Liu Qinghan, who had experienced many storms, understood the deep meaning of Leng Xiyao's words.

Looking at the surprised eyes of the crowd, Leng Xiyao slowly explained: "Don't forget the characteristics of her martial soul. That is to say, even if we save her, she can't show her face like an ordinary person. She can only live in fear like a prisoner all day long."

"Otherwise, once she is discovered, she will surely attract the covetousness of countless powerful people. You know, she can have an effect on the martial spirits of Titled Douluo masters."

Hearing this, everyone fell silent. Yes, they still didn't think enough. They only thought about saving people but didn't think about the subsequent troubles. So no one mentioned it again, and everyone focused on watching the heated bidding below the stage.

At this point the price had already exceeded one million, and the voices of bidding from the audience had become less and less. It was obvious that if these people had more than one million in spare money, they would not just sit there.

"Binglan, do you want to buy her? Perhaps your father's old illness can be cured by strengthening his martial soul." In booth No. 2, the old man pointed at the little Lolita on the stage and said to the girl.

"Well, although the chance is slim, it's still a hope, right?" The girl sighed, her beautiful face filled with loneliness.

After thinking for a moment, the girl entered an ideal price in her mind. Unexpectedly, just as she was about to press the confirm button, Ke Lin in the audience suddenly shouted excitedly:
"The guest in VIP seat number three has made a bid! Three million! Is there anyone else who wants to raise the price?!"

Upon hearing this amount, the girl's face suddenly froze and she pulled her hand back helplessly. Three million gold soul coins were enough to build another of the empire's latest model of aerospace mothership.

If it can be guaranteed that her father's illness can be cured, then this money will naturally not be a big deal. However, curing the disease by strengthening the martial soul is only a slim hope after all. Even if this money is spent, the probability of curing it is only one in ten. In this case, it is not worth it.

Thinking of this, Xu Binglan couldn't help but look towards booth number three. She was also very curious, why did the other party, as a woman, still want to buy this little Lolita whom she could not use at all?
