In Douluo Continent, what is a martial soul? It's like Luckin Coffee.

Chapter 276 The Noblewoman in Room 1

With Elder Xuan's backing, it's all under control.

Wang Yan did not hesitate to raise the price further.

3700 million gold soul coins.

Perhaps they felt that adding only 50,000 gold soul coins was a humiliating act.

This time, Wang Yan did not just add 50,000 gold soul coins.

Bai Ran, inside room number nine, looked at the price and couldn't help but feel troubled.

I'm running out of Gold Soul Coins again. Will I have to sell another high-level Soul Tool?

She did have quite a few high-level soul tools on her, but they were mostly relics left by Ye Huaijin to Sister Gu Yi, which were actually Ye Gu Yi's dowry.

If we sell it, wouldn't that mean...?

Just as Bai Ran was hesitating, the door was suddenly pushed open.

A familiar figure had already appeared beside Bai Ran.

Upon seeing a stranger intrude, the auction staff immediately became alert and prepared to intervene.

In a sense, this could be considered a major work error.

However, after the woman who had barged in revealed her identity, the auction staff all retreated.

"Harkiri, what brings you here?"

Upon seeing this aunt, Bai Ran was immediately delighted.

I was just wondering where to get Gold Soul Coins.

Although in the past, when Bai Ran and Rui Xue'er went out, Bai Ran always paid for everything.

But as the little princess of the Star Dou Great Forest, Ruixue'er was given a large sum of money by Di Tian before she left home.

It seems they're terrified their little darling will be kidnapped by some stinky blondie.

Little did they know that, compared to Bai Ran, Rui Xue'er was more like that blond guy.

"Of course I came here..."

"No, Hakibai, how did you get them out?"

I saw a pink-furred fox lying on the sofa and another woman in a bathrobe.

Ruixue'er immediately lost her composure.

No wonder Xiaobing couldn't find you when she went to the store; it turns out you came to the auction with two staff members.

Rachel: Haki White, don't you think what you're doing is going too far!
"Oh, let's not worry about all that stuff for now."

"RuiRui, could you lend me some Gold Soul Coins?"

Bai Ran rubbed his hands together and said in a somewhat ingratiating tone.

Originally, Ruixueer was quite willing to lend it, but now, suddenly she doesn't want to anymore.

"Rui Rui, my dear Rui Rui~"

"Okay, okay, fine."

Perhaps they were a little disgusted.

Ruixue'er finally relented and lent Bai Ran several million gold soul coins.

Ruixue'er: When you need her, you call yourself "Good Ruirui," but when you don't, you call yourself "Hajirui." It's really... sigh~ I don't even want to talk about you.

……

A few days ago, I borrowed 2000 million gold soul coins from Meng Hongchen, and now I've borrowed another 500 million gold soul coins from Ruixueer.

What if we still can't get this soul bone?
Bai Ran might then suspect that she had been set up.

Honestly, Bai Ran didn't think Shrek Academy would spend more than 4000 million gold soul coins to buy this soul bone.

……

Just as Bai Ran had predicted.

When the price reached 4000 million gold soul coins, Wang Yan fell into thought again.

Even with Elder Xuan's guarantee, it's far from worth it in terms of value.

With the same resources, they could send a Title Douluo-level Soul Master to the far north to hunt for a piece of Ice Jade Scorpion Soul Bone.

Xuanzi suddenly spoke up, "Let me give you one last price: 4500 million. Buy it if you can, otherwise forget it."

As Xuanzi finished speaking.

The price of this piece of Ice Jade Scorpion's left arm bone has reached 4500 million.

Such an outrageous price is almost enough to buy a real 100,000-year-old soul bone.

It has to be said, Shrek Academy is truly wealthy and powerful.

4500 million gold soul coins for the first time.

4500 million gold soul coins for the second time. The Starlight Auction House, as the organizer, is very satisfied with this price.

Just as the third bid was about to be displayed on the Soul Guide Screen.

5000 million gold soul coins.

A price that no one could have imagined came from Room 1.

I saw the price quote for this room.

Almost all the guests who participated in the auction were puzzled.

You should know that the most prestigious Room 1 has always belonged to His Majesty the Emperor of the Star Luo Empire.

By the way, wasn't this soul bone something the Star Luo royal family couldn't use and therefore put up for auction?
Could it be that seeing such fierce price competition, they realized there was something special about this soul bone and regretted their decision?

That's not fair!

As for raising prices?

The price is already close to four times the base price; raising it further would be rather unseemly.

However, things turned out differently than everyone expected.

The Emperor of the Star Luo Empire was not in Room Number One.

Instead, a richly dressed lady was reclining on the sofa.

Despite possessing an air of maturity that comes with age, her beauty surpasses even that of Princess Jiujiu on stage.

The Empress of the Star Luo Empire?
That doesn't seem to be the case.

……

Inside room number nine.

"Rui Rui, can you lend me some more?"

Bai Ran was clearly already hooked.

He paid a heavy price for this piece of icy jade scorpion left arm bone.

No matter what, he will not give up.

"Haki White, although I really want to help you, I don't have any extra gold soul coins."

Although Di Tian gave her a lot of gold soul coins before she left the Star Dou Great Forest.

But in total, there are only a little over ten million gold soul coins.

Don't think that ten million gold soul coins is a small amount. If that were given to Tang Ya, it could probably revive the Tang Sect.

After all, a second-rate sect doesn't even have that many gold soul coins in revenue in a whole year.

"I'm not reconciled, I'm not reconciled!"

……

Good news: the Ice Jade Scorpion's left arm bone did not fall into Shrek Academy's hands. Bad news: the Ice Jade Scorpion's left arm bone also did not fall into Bai Ran's hands.

Instead, it was snatched away by a mysterious VIP.

The VIP in Room 1 should normally be Emperor Xu Jiawei of the Star Luo Empire.

And now, it seems...

Wait a minute, Bai Ran realized she had overlooked a problem.

In the original novel, Xu Jiawei used the Ice Jade Scorpion's left arm bone as a favor, giving it to Huo Yuhao to gain favor from Shrek Academy.

Could this offer from Room One be a staged event orchestrated by the Star Luo Royal Family, with the intention of giving it to Shrek Academy as a prize after they win the tournament?
It's not just Bai Ran.

After the auctioneer had been looking at the price for a long time, he paused the auction and went to ask his brother for advice.

Xu Jiawei's response was: "That's not true."

Unlike in the original story, Shrek Academy did not demonstrate any special dominance in this Soul Battle Tournament; in fact, their performance was rather mediocre.

In contrast, the young students from the Sun and Moon Royal Academy performed quite well.

Unfortunately, there is an irreconcilable conflict between the Sun Moon Empire and the Star Luo Empire. Otherwise, Xu Jiawei would have liked to have his sister make contact with them and do them a favor.

When the price reaches 5000 million gold soul coins.

Inside room number seven, Xuanzi also shut his mouth and stopped speaking.

That's outrageous, the price is absolutely outrageous.

Although Shrek Academy is willing to spare no expense in cultivating its core disciples.

But the price is too high.

Fifty million gold soul coins is almost equivalent to more than two months' income for Shrek Academy.

If this money is really spent, Xuanzi will probably be starving next month.

Xuanzi: If you keep doing this, I'm going to go to the Sun and Moon Royal Academy to freeload meals.
