Douluo Unrivaled: The Beginning Materializes the Black Abyss and White Flowers

Chapter 133 Blazing Holy Armor
"Sister Ningguang, this gem!"

Lu Jingming looked puzzled. What was Möbius doing? What was she trying to do?

“You should know in your heart who commissioned me to auction this.” Ningguang was also somewhat helpless. Among the people Lu Jingming summoned, there were always a few that even she couldn’t handle, which gave her a real headache.

The Black Tower is one example, and Mebius is naturally included as well.

Lu Jingming unconsciously stroked the rim of the teacup with his fingertips, his brows furrowing slightly.

If I had known this would happen, I shouldn't have so easily handed that gem over to Mebius in the first place. Who knew she would put it up for auction?

Lu Jingming lowered his eyes, a dark light flickering within them. He already had a vague guess about the purpose of Mebius's actions.

Mebius has always been unrestrained in his actions. She was not a person who followed the rules, so why would she ask him for permission for everything?
But Lu Jingming knew that although Mebius was reckless, she would not do anything to harm him, and that was why he turned a blind eye to her many behaviors.

After all, how easy is it to truly control Mebius?
Most of the Shrek Academy students were in VIP room number three at the auction.

"Xiao Yuhao, bid for this gem!" Electrolux's voice suddenly rang out in Huo Yuhao's mental space, deep and powerful.

Huo Yuhao was slightly taken aback, his eyes filled with astonishment: "Elder Yi? Is there anything special about this gem? Do you recognize it?"

Electrolux usually sleeps most of the time and rarely appears, so his sudden outburst must mean something is amiss.

Electrolux's voice carried a hint of weariness: "I don't know what this gem is, but I can sense that it will benefit your cultivation of spiritual power and can also repair my divine sense."

Although he couldn't know the exact origin of the gemstone, the feeling that it was beneficial to himself and Huo Yuhao was incredibly clear.

Huo Yuhao's eyes lit up instantly, and he became excited: "Okay, I'll ask Teacher Wang Yan to buy it for me right away."

While enhancing his mental strength is important, what's even more important is that it might help Electrox repair his divine consciousness. No matter the cost, he absolutely cannot miss this opportunity.

“Teacher Wang Yan, this gem is useful to me. As you know, I have a mental-type martial soul. With this gem, my cultivation speed should increase significantly.”

Huo Yuhao looked at Wang Yan eagerly, his eyes full of anticipation.

Wang Yan nodded without asking any further questions and immediately began operating the soul tool in front of him.

He carried Shrek Academy's funds, which were originally intended for the students. Since they would benefit Huo Yuhao, he naturally couldn't miss out.

Finally, after a fierce bidding war, Wang Yan won the Spirit-type Soul Guidance Gem for 1.8 million.

Such a price, while not low for a soul guide gem that can assist a soul master in cultivation, is still within a reasonable range.

After all, it only enhances mental strength, and its specific effects are still unknown.

With the sale of this gemstone, the auction continued, and one precious item after another appeared on the scene, including custom-made soul tools, soul bones, and rare soul-guided metals, all of which fetched astonishingly high prices.

"The next item should interest all of you, distinguished guests, as it is the work of Ms. Black Tower!"

Xu Jiujiu's voice carried a hint of allure, instantly drawing everyone's attention.

Inside VIP Box No. 4, Xiao Hongchen and the others sat up abruptly, their eyes fixed on the soul guidance screen in front of them, filled with anticipation.

They hadn't paid much attention to the Mingde Hall soul tools before, except for Ma Rulong who had bought a soul bone. But now, everyone was extremely interested.

Soon, the screen changed, and an extremely magnificent golden armor appeared before everyone's eyes.

The armor has a streamlined shape, and the lava patterns on its surface resemble flowing flames. The phoenix feather-like blades extending from the joints exude a dangerous yet alluring aura.

The helmet, shaped like a phoenix head, features eyes inlaid with crimson crystals that resemble burning flames. The cape on its back, formed from flames, flutters gently in the wind, exuding majesty and domineering presence.

"A level nine soul tool, the Blazing Heaven Holy Armor, is made from the torso bones of a ten-thousand-year-old Blazing Flame Bird, plus top-grade soul tool metal, molten Mars Star Steel, and possesses the defensive power of a Title Douluo."

"Moreover, the Blazing Heavenly Armor is equipped with the Nirvana Cycle System, which can absorb the enemy's attack energy and convert it into stored energy. It also has a Blazing Feather Propulsion Array on its back, with a total of 108 micro-jet holes, and its top speed is comparable to that of a Super Douluo."

"And its solidified soul skill, Blazing Judgment, charges for three seconds and its power is equivalent to a Super Douluo's full-force attack!"

"Distinguished guests, this Blazing Heaven Holy Armor can be worn by anyone with the cultivation level of a Soul Douluo. Once you put it on, you will have the combat power of a Title Douluo. The viewing time is twenty minutes, and the starting bid is ten million gold soul coins."

Xu Jiujiu's voice was sweet and seductive, and every word was like a bombshell, stirring up a storm in everyone's hearts.

In VIP Room No. 3, Ma Xiaotao's eyes lit up instantly, her gaze fixed on the Blazing Heavenly Armor, her eyes filled with longing: "Teacher Wang Yan, buy it!"

Her tone was firm and unwavering.

Wang Yan gritted his teeth, and although he hesitated, he nodded in agreement.

He would never dare to make such a decision for anyone else, after all, tens of millions of gold soul coins are no small amount, and he is not qualified to dispose of them at will.

But Ma Xiaotao is different. She is Yan Shaozhe's disciple and a key figure in the future development of the Sea God Pavilion, with the potential to become its leader. She has the right to utilize Shrek Academy's resources. In VIP Room No. 4, Xiao Hongchen also looked eagerly at Elder Ma: "Elder Ma, buy it! Our Hongchen family will cover the cost!"

Old Ma nodded slightly; even if Xiao Hongchen didn't say it, he had the same intention.

This soul tool was not only made by Lady Black Tower, but more importantly, the soul tool armor is the closest creation to a humanoid soul tool. If we can learn something from it, it will be of great help to Mingde Hall in its research on humanoid soul tools.

The twenty-minute viewing time, ostensibly to allow everyone to appreciate the exquisite craftsmanship of this soul tool, was actually a time for everyone to prepare their funds.

"The viewing time has arrived. Please begin bidding!" Xu Jiujiu's voice rang out precisely on time, and the atmosphere of the entire auction instantly became extremely tense. Everyone knew that a fierce bidding war was about to begin.

On the screen, the price kept climbing and soon broke through 15 million gold soul coins, making everyone present gasp in astonishment.

Inside VIP Box Number One, Lu Jingming watched the constantly changing prices, a faint smile playing on his lips.

This Blazing Heavenly Armor was merely something Black Tower casually crafted from leftover materials when making a soul tool for Chang Li.

Compared to the Phoenix Armor worn by Chang Li, the Blazing Heaven Holy Armor is considerably inferior, but even so, it can be considered top-tier among level nine soul tools.

Lu Jingming couldn't help but wonder, if even such a treasure wasn't the final item, then what would be the final item?
Although Haiyuan City has many treasures, very few are available for auction. He wanted to see what kind of surprise Ningguang could bring.

On the Soul Guidance Screen, the price competition became increasingly fierce, until finally, only VIP Room No. 3 and VIP Room No. 4 were left vying for the same price.

When the price reached the astronomical sum of 50 million gold soul coins, VIP Room No. 4 finally had no choice but to give up.

In VIP room number four, Xiao Hongchen and the others had gloomy faces, full of resentment.

However, they had come from afar and had already spent a lot of money on soul tools produced by Black Tower in the previous small auction. Now, they simply couldn't come up with any more money.

In terms of financial resources, Mingdetang has never been afraid of anyone, but this time it was caught off guard due to insufficient preparation.

Moreover, they never expected that the Jade Pavilion would put such a top-tier soul tool as the Blazing Heaven Holy Armor up for auction.

If they want to continue bidding regardless of the cost, they can only sell their soul tools to raise money. But there are still matches to come, so how can they dare to easily sell their important equipment?
In the end, they could only watch helplessly as Shrek Academy acquired this top-tier soul tool.

However, the thought that this soul tool required the cultivation level of a Soul Douluo to use, and that they wouldn't see it appear in this competition, made them feel a little better.

The high price of 50 million gold soul coins not only shocked the contestants who were watching the spectacle, but also surprised Xu Jiujiu.

She originally thought that it would be quite good if this level-nine soul tool could fetch 30 million gold soul coins, but she underestimated the Black Tower's reputation, which caused the price of this item to far exceed her expectations, soaring all the way to 50 million.

This left Xu Jiujiu somewhat amused and exasperated, because the item she was about to put up for auction, while equally valuable, would likely be difficult to surpass the price of the Blazing Heavenly Armor.

"Distinguished guests, the next item to be presented will be the second to last item in this auction, which is equally precious. Please take a look."

As soon as he finished speaking, the screen on the Soul Guidance Platform changed again, and a crystal-clear Soul Bone appeared before everyone's eyes.

This soul bone is entirely emerald green, with an emerald green halo flowing and undulating on it, as if there is flowing liquid inside.

Judging from its appearance, this is a left arm bone, with a faint white mist swirling around it.

Because it was magnified many times, people could more clearly feel its strangeness.

On the emerald green surface of this arm bone, there seemed to be inlaid crystals, as if carved from gemstones. Compared with the previous soul bones, it instantly stood out and appeared exceptionally precious.

"Damn it!" Upon seeing the soul bone, Ice Emperor, located in Huo Yuhao's mental space, was instantly enraged, and her anger spread throughout the mental space.

"As you can see, this is a soul bone. It is a left arm soul bone, with the attribute of ice, and it comes from a super soul beast from the far north, the Ice Jade Scorpion."

"As you all know, the Ice Jade Scorpion is incredibly powerful. This soul bone inherits the Ice Jade Scorpion's ultimate ice attribute. If an ice attribute soul master absorbs it, their own attributes will be greatly enhanced, and they might even be able to break through to the ultimate ice attribute!"

"Everything has its advantages and disadvantages. The advantage of this soul bone is that it is extremely powerful, with an age of over 50,000 years, and it comes with the soul skill Ice Explosion, which is a very rare ice-attribute soul skill. However, there are also disadvantages. The requirements for the soul master who absorbs it are very high. If the absorption fails, it can even endanger their life."

Xu Jiujiu gave a detailed introduction to the soul bone. In everyone's eyes, this soul bone was almost perfect. Its high age, origin from a super soul beast, and solidified soul skill were enough to drive all ice-type soul masters crazy.

As for the risks of absorption, in their view, absorbing soul bones inherently involves risks, which is not a drawback at all.

The Ice Jade Scorpion is one of the overlords of the soul beasts in the far north, and its patriarch is the Ice Jade Emperor Scorpion, ranked eighth among the ten ferocious beasts.

For ice-attribute soul masters, the soul bone dropped from the Ice Jade Scorpion is undoubtedly a coveted treasure.

From the moment the Ice Jade Scorpion Soul Bone appeared, Meng Hongchen in VIP Room 4 and Ling Luochen in VIP Room 3 could not take their eyes off it.
