Douluo: Trinity, I run through the timeline.

Chapter 201 A Miraculous Manifestation in Public (Please Subscribe!!! Bonus Chapter 18)

"Next up is the auction for the eighth spot, which comes with a spirit metal of the first grade of a thousand-refined Dragon Blood Gold. Any martial soul with a dragon attribute below the Soul King level will resonate with this Dragon Blood Gold at all times and have the opportunity to purify their own bloodline."

"Ten million!"

"Fifteen million!"

Because everyone had a bottom line, prices rose rapidly in the early stages.

"Twenty million!"

Soon, the price of the eighth spot exceeded that of the first spot.

Moreover, the price is skyrocketing.

The spots are valuable, and in addition, there is a bonus of spirit metal.

The most determined group in this competition was Room 10, whose members came from Dragon City.

Ultimately, the eighth spot was sold for a staggering 25 million, and was won by Tianlongmen from Longcheng.

"When we get back to Dragon City, we'll ask the people from the Earth Dragon Gate to reimburse us as well. All the other forces, big and small, in Dragon City will have to contribute money. After all, this branch of the Blacksmith Association wasn't just something we got."

The person in charge of Tianlongmen had actually discussed things with other forces in Longcheng before arriving.

What he said was perfectly normal.

The competition for the ninth spot also began at this moment.

With just three bids, the price has already reached 25 million!

"Hiss, luckily I acted decisively enough."

The person in charge of Tianlongmen gasped, glad that he had made the decision for the Dragon Blood Gold.

"Twenty-six million!"

"Twenty-six million five hundred thousand!"

The subsequent price increases were smaller and smaller, indicating that they were already at their limit and making a final attempt.

Ultimately, the price for the ninth spot was set at 28 million, and it was secured by VIP room number nine, which housed the Douling Royal Family.

"The last spot comes with a spirit metal called Deep Silver, a first-grade material refined a thousand times, producing a six-foot radiance, which can be called a thousand-refined sacred item!"

Wow!
Six feet of light!

When Duan Lin took out the sunken silver, the forces that had won the auction were all a little breathless.

Because when the spirit metal of the first grade of a thousand refinements was introduced before, it was said to have a maximum radiance of only three feet.

This piece of sunken silver was six feet in size.

"Ladies and gentlemen, this piece of sunken silver is the highest spiritual metal ever obtained by our Blacksmith Association. After research, we unanimously believe that this metal has reached the pinnacle of the thousand-times-forged metal and is only one step away from breaking through to the next level."

"President Duan Lin, I would like to ask, what realm is reached after the Thousand Refinements?"

Xu Jiujiu directly asked from outside the venue.

"After a thousand forgings, it becomes spirit forging. A thousand forgings summons spirit, and spirit forging creates life."

Duan Jin's answer undoubtedly stirred up a wave of emotions in everyone's hearts.

After a thousand forgings, there is still spirit forging?
"May I ask President Duan Jin, what's different about spirit-forged metals?" Xu Jiujiu pressed.

"I don't know."

Duan Jin shook his head decisively.

Spirit-forged metal already existed when Su Ming approached the Blacksmith Association; Duan Jin had even seen it with his own eyes, but at this moment he firmly shook his head.

The development of the association should proceed gradually.

Knowing the association's potential, Duan Jin proceeded with extreme caution.

It's not time to announce the Spirit Forging yet.

“Spirit forging has strict requirements and places very high demands on the Soul Master. Because the creator of the forging technique himself did not have enough Soul Power, he turned to other directions to explore.”

"Oh? I wonder who that founder was?"

Duan Jin's eyes flashed, and he couldn't help but look up.

That's the direction of VIP boxes one, two, and three.

Because of the relationship between the Blacksmith Association and the Body Sect, Xu Jiujiu subconsciously assumed that he was looking at the Body Sect's seat in Box Number One.

However, the name Duan Jin uttered was unexpected.

"Su Ming."

In VIP room number three, Su Ming watched Duan Jin say his name through the soul-guided screen, and a smile involuntarily crept onto his lips. Beside him, Xiao Hongchen and Meng Hongchen were both stunned.

Who?
"Laugh, who did he just say pioneered the forging system?"

"It seems to be someone named Su Ming."

The brother and sister both looked at Su Ming at the same time.

"Su Ming, the Su Ming he's talking about isn't you, is it?"

"If there is no other Su Ming in this world who pioneered the forging system, then the Su Ming that Chairman Duan Lin mentioned must be me."

An exclamation mark slowly appeared above Xiao Hongchen's head.

You're so pretentious.

He said he had learned it, and that if someone ever said that the first talent of a Soul Master was Xiao Hongchen, he would answer them in the same way!
Your 13 looks great, but it will soon be mine.

Su Ming's name surprised not only the people in Box 3, but also everyone at the entire auction.

He remained stunned for a long time.

Now she understood why the Blacksmiths' Association was so impartial—to remain neutral among the four great empires and achieve balanced development.

The creators of the original forging system came from the Sun and Moon Empire.

At the same time, she couldn't help but smile bitterly.

Now it's bad.

The founders were in the Sun and Moon Empire. So, who was at the forefront of combining spirit metal and soul guidance technology?

Now all she can do is pray that Su Ming truly treats everyone equally and that the amount of spirit metal he provides within the four great empires is equal.

Su Ming discovered that the faith he gained in this one wave was no less than the faith he had gained in a month.

So, do I still have to show off in front of others?

With this in mind, Su Ming sent Duan Jin a message.

"Spirit forging failed to break through, but Su Ming made a breakthrough in fusion forging, using spirituality to connect different rare metals, allowing them to combine organically and create spirit alloys."

"I will explain the properties of this spirit alloy in a moment. We have also put up three pieces of spirit alloy for auction."

Appeared!
The treasure that the Blacksmith Association had to squeeze out has finally appeared!

Indeed, handing over the upcoming auction to the Blacksmiths' Guild was the right choice.

"Alright, let's get back to the main topic. The auction for the last spot should begin now. To save everyone's time, let's set the starting price at 20 million, and each bid should be at least 100,000 gold soul coins."

Is 20 million a lot?
not tall.

Soon, people demonstrated that even with a starting bid of 20 million, a large number of people were still vying for the bid.

"Twenty-three million!"

"two thousand."

"Twenty-seven million!"

It has reached a new level.

Subsequently, a bidding war ensued, with prices fluctuating between 100,000 and 100,000 gold soul coins.

The auction for this last spot lasted for half an hour.

During the auction, several private rooms requested that the auction be paused because they wanted to exchange their gold soul coins.

The Star Luo royal family was practically grinning from ear to ear for the past half hour. Although they didn't receive a cut from the auction, they pocketed all the treasures that could be exchanged for Gold Soul Coins.

Keep in mind that they charge a 20% handling fee.

There's no commission on the auction, but there is a commission on exchanging for Gold Soul Coins.

Ultimately, the number of slots reached 30 million gold soul coins.

"Let us congratulate the VIP in VIP room number thirteen for winning the last spot with a bid of thirty million gold soul coins."

In private room number thirteen, the Xuanming Sect Master's lips twitched, his face bitter.

Congratulations!
Some people have secured several spots with just 20 million.

I should have made up my mind sooner.

　I'll update five more times tomorrow, and then I'll have made up for the twenty chapters I owe this month. Hahaha, I'm finally free!

　　So far, the average daily subscription is around 3,500, and the monthly votes have exceeded 2,000. There will be a recommendation at the beginning of next month, so I estimate that I'll be adding about eight chapters (3 + 5) next month. I'll specify the conditions for each additional chapter in the author's notes.
