Douluo: Trinity, I run through the timeline.

Chapter 194 Xu Jiawei: 666 (Please subscribe!!!)

Mingde Hall's soul guidance technology surpasses that of multiple versions of Douluo Three Kingdoms.

Upon acquiring the Spirit Metal, Jing Hongchen's plans for it far surpassed those of Douluo Three Kingdoms.

For team members?

Ah!
Even for his own grandchildren, Jing Hongchen did not spare a single piece of spirit metal.

It's fair to say that until they acquire more and better spirit metals, these resources are absolutely irrelevant to Soul Masters below level nine.

From this perspective, Xu Jiawei's speculation is correct.

The Sun & Moon Royal Team does indeed have a trump card; it's no longer just about having spirit metal.

But it is precisely because of Mingdetang that the Sun Moon Royal Team's desire to win the championship is becoming increasingly strong.

Because if you miss this opportunity, you might never get another chance.

The round-robin tournament is still ongoing.

At the same time, a piece of news that shocked all the teams quietly swept in.

The Starlight Auction House and Starlight Auction will be hosting an auction of spirit metals to celebrate the competition.

Xu Jiawei: ? ? ?

At this moment, even the Star Luo Royal Family behind the Starlight Auction House was stunned.

Because they were completely unprepared.

Before the competition, the Star Luo Royal Family did have high hopes, thinking that the Blacksmith Association would not miss this opportunity. However, with the Blacksmith Association auctioning off the construction slots for ten Blacksmith Association branches, and the appearance of a Body Sect disciple in the Sun and Moon Royal Team, the Star Luo Royal Family almost gave up the idea of ​​seeing spirit metal auctioned again during the competition.

However, he never expected that the Blacksmith Association would be so despicable.

Without any warning, they're going to auction off spirit metal.

The ten slots released earlier were merely to dissuade the Star Luo royal family from making prior preparations. Now, why the sudden reversal?

Xu Jiawei guaranteed that Starlight Auction House obtained the so-called spirit metal to be auctioned much later than the various battle teams learned that the auction included spirit metal.

Blacksmiths Association, have some decency!

So what if you master core technologies?
While there was some cursing and swearing, Xu Jiawei didn't just hurl insults; he immediately made arrangements for the upcoming auction.

Xu Jiujiu also exerted herself urgently, and even barely played in the game, letting a substitute take her place so she could focus on the auction.

The round-robin tournament lasted a total of sixteen days.

The Starlight Auction began on the very day the round-robin tournament ended.

This auction is undoubtedly a preparation for the upcoming qualifying matches for the various teams.

The top 16 have been decided, so who will be the next eight and even the top four?

At this time, soul tools that enhance the strength of various teams will appear at the auction to help them replenish their losses.

What's different this time is that the top three teams all have a custom quota of spirit metal. Any team with the potential to compete for third place will fight desperately to enhance their strength.

Indeed, spirit metals now hold an unshakeable place in the hearts of soul masters.

Teams hoping to compete for third place might consider exchanging a piece of spirit metal for a custom slot, since a custom one would be more suitable for them.

Teams that have no hope of competing for the top three will also want to acquire spirit metals. Even if it's meaningless to use them now, they can take them back and study them later. There are always suitable soul masters in the academy.

Even teams that have already been eliminated are required to participate in this auction.

"Ten pieces of spirit-infused metal of the highest grade, refined a thousand times, will be auctioned off along with ten slots."

When Xu Jiawei learned of this news, he cursed the Forging Masters Association under his breath.

The slots are undoubtedly more expensive, but even at that price, the association won't be established until later, and there might be changes in the meantime. However, because of this binding, the auction for these slots has its current value, and powerful teams with strong backing, such as Shrek Academy, Star Luo Royal Family, Heavenly Soul Royal Family, and Sun Moon Royal Team, will inevitably take turns bidding.

Even with the home advantage, Xu Jiawei wasn't confident enough to snatch many spots from these people.

The starting price for this spot is simply too high, so high that the entire Star Luo Empire could only acquire two or three spots at most.

Moreover, each piece of spirit metal is tied to a single spot, and this small amount of spirit metal can intensify the competitive atmosphere during the auction, potentially leading to price increases far exceeding the value of a single piece of spirit metal.

"This is a move to drain the resources behind all the teams participating in this competition."

Starlight Auction House.

The Sun & Moon Royal Team is located in Box 3.

"Mr. Ma, did you bring enough funds this time?" Su Ming asked.

Old Ma patted the ring on his hand.

“Mingde Hall is not short of money. Even if it is not enough, they can auction off a few level-eight soul tools on the spot.”

Su Ming nodded silently.

This auction seems to have attracted academies from all over the continent, but the Sun Moon Empire is at a huge disadvantage. Even though there are many academy teams, only the Sun Moon Royal Team dares to travel back and forth between Sun Moon and Star Luo with a large amount of funds.

The sun and moon, and the stars, are, after all, in a state of war.

If you get robbed while crossing the border, you'll lose a fortune.

Therefore, the only way for major cities in the Sun Moon Empire to obtain a spot to build a branch of the Blacksmiths' Association is through the Sun Moon Royal War Team.

The quotas will be auctioned off in the name of Mingde Hall, and then distributed to several major cities within the empire.

"The auction is now full. Thank you for your support. I am your auctioneer, Jiu Jiu."

Xu Jiujiu, dressed in palace attire, bowed slightly to everyone.

"To make a long story short, I understand that all of you are looking forward to this auction. Now, let's begin the auction."

"Today's auction is the largest auction in the history of our Starlight Auction House."

"We have prepared a total of nine precious items."

"The items will be presented to our distinguished guests in order of value, from lowest to highest."

"The first item up for auction is the Tyrant Tiger Soul Refining Blade. This is an eighth-level melee soul tool made of extremely precious materials, including a right arm bone from a ten-thousand-year-old Tyrant Tiger. Its solidified soul bone skill is the Tyrant Blade Slash, and it can also amplify the attack power of similar soul skills by fifty percent."

As the sound rang out, everyone was able to see the Tyrant Tiger Soul Refining Blade through the soul guidance screen in the private room. It was four feet and six inches long, with the widest part of the back of the blade being one inch. It was in the style of a horse-slaying sword, and the guard was very wide and shaped like a tiger's head. The core magic array of this soul guidance device was located in this position.

Level 8 Soul Guidance Device, Tyrant Tiger Soul Refining Blade!

The first item was the lowest priced, yet it still reached the peak of what is typically offered at auction houses.

Let alone small auctions, even medium-sized auctions may not necessarily have a level 8 soul tool as a minimum.

Moreover, this is a top-tier level eight soul tool with a soul bone as its core.

"Because of the energy contained in the soul bone itself and the energy conversion mechanism, the consumption of this soul tool is only one-third of that of a normal level eight soul master."

In other words, only a Soul Saint can control this sword.

"pity."

He sighed for a long time, seemingly very regretful.

“Spirit metals are still too rare. If this Tyrant Tiger Soul Refining Blade could be forged with a spirit metal, perhaps even a Soul Emperor could use it without changing its power.”
