Douluo Continent: Starting with a Heavenly Fire Judgment

Chapter 147 The Future Prince

The entire room fell silent.

Everyone turned their attention to Xiaoxiao, then suddenly turned back to look at Ji Lin.

Dai Yueheng suddenly said, "Speaking of which, I did hear my mother mention this before. When the princess got engaged, my mother even represented the White Tiger Duke's Mansion to attend the engagement banquet. So the person engaged to the princess was Junior Brother Ji Lin!"

Xu Sanshi stepped forward and patted Ji Lin on the shoulder, saying, "You're quite the lucky guy! You even have a princess fiancée. Does that mean you'll be a prince of the Star Luo Empire in the future?"

As he spoke, he glanced at Wang Qiu'er, who was expressionless to the side, and gave Ji Lin a thumbs up in admiration.

Ling Luochen sat on the sofa, glancing at Wang Qiu'er and then at Ji Lin, seemingly lost in thought.

Ma Xiaotao crossed her legs, rested her right hand on the back of the sofa, and played with her red hair with her left hand, saying with a half-smile, "Well, Ji Lin, you've been hiding it quite well."

Ji Lin awkwardly touched his nose and said, "There's no need to go around telling everyone about this, and it's not like I'm deliberately hiding it from you."

Auctioneer Qingya covered her red lips in surprise. She hadn't expected that the VIP who bought the Soul-Devouring Carving Knife and indirectly helped her advance would be the princess's fiancé, the future prince.

Wang Yan stared at Ji Lin in disbelief. Good heavens, so the chief auctioneer of Starlight Auction House is yours? Did I ask the wrong person when I asked Dai Yueheng for help last time?

Wang Dong'er looked at Ji Lin with schadenfreude, while Xiao Xiao looked at Ji Lin with apologetic eyes and a pitiful expression on her face. Ji Lin shook his head at Xiao Xiao with amusement, indicating that he did not blame her.

However, after being shocked by the news, everyone's attention was once again drawn to the number one lot on display.

Ji Lin breathed a sigh of relief when he saw that no one was asking any more strange questions. Wang Qiu'er, who was beside him, smiled and turned her head slightly to avoid being noticed.

Then Her Highness's voice came from the screen.

"Tyrant Tiger Soul Refining Blade. A level eight melee soul tool made of extremely precious materials, including a right arm bone from a ten-thousand-year-old Tyrant Tiger soul beast. It solidifies the soul bone skill Tyrant Blade Slash. It can also amplify the attack power of similar soul skills by fifty percent."

"Distinguished guests, please note that when using this precious melee soul tool, each strike will be imbued with the Overlord Blade Slash effect. This effect can be stacked with any similar attack soul skill. Furthermore, through the guidance of the exquisite core magic array and the energy contained within the soul bone itself, the soul power consumed by the Overlord Blade Slash is only one-third of that under normal circumstances."

"Finally, this Tyrant Tiger Soul Refining Blade comes from the Mingde Hall of the Sun Moon Empire. I think the name Mingde Hall alone is enough to speak of its quality. A Seven-Ring Soul Saint can use this blade, and with it, it will become possible for a Soul Saint to challenge a Soul Douluo of a higher level. Five minutes for viewing."

After Princess Jiujiu's introduction, there was an involuntary gasp in the room.This is just the first lot!

Level 8 soul tools are the highest level soul tools that Douluo Three Kingdoms can produce, and they are impossible to put up for auction. Only soul tool masters of the Sun Moon Empire have the ability to put them up for auction, not to mention that this level 8 soul tool comes from Mingde Hall. Any product from Mingde Hall is bound to be a masterpiece.

Even the well-informed Ma Xiaotao, Dai Yueheng, and Ling Luochen were astonished. Level eight soul tools were extremely rare even at the auctions they had attended before, and this was only the first item up for auction! How could they not be surprised?

Despite being a melee soul tool, the Tyrant Tiger Soul Refining Blade is actually more important to high-level soul masters than ranged or fixed soul tools, as they are easier to synergize with their abilities.

Everyone stood up and walked to the screen to carefully examine the level eight soul tool sword.

Detailed descriptions are displayed at the top of the screen: the Tyrant Tiger Soul Refining Blade is four feet six inches long, with the widest part of the back of the blade being a full inch, resembling a horse-slaying saber. The hilt extends all the way to the guard, exhibiting a slight skeletal shape. The guard is exceptionally large, shaped like a tiger's head. Undoubtedly, the core magic array of this soul-guiding artifact is located in this position. The tiger's head is entirely crystalline yellow, resembling a special gemstone.

Even though it was just an image, everyone still felt a fierce aura emanating from it.

As its name suggests, the most suitable person for this Tyrant Tiger Soul Refining Blade is undoubtedly Dai Yueheng, who possesses the White Tiger Martial Soul.

Wang Yan exclaimed in amazement, "As expected of Mingdetang's products, they are truly extraordinary."

"Time to view the auction. The Tyrant Tiger Soul Refining Blade starts at 600,000 Gold Soul Coins. Each bid must be at least 5,000 Gold Soul Coins higher. Distinguished guests are all experts, so I'm sure there's no need for further explanation. The auction begins. If no one raises the bid within one minute, the auction is complete."

Princess Jiujiu's voice came again.

The screen changed, turning a pale white, and the previous image of the Tyrant Tiger Soul Refining Blade faded into the background. A huge number, six hundred thousand, appeared on the screen.

"Six hundred and fifty thousand." Dai Yueheng said immediately. This Tyrant Tiger Soul Refining Blade was perfect for him; it was practically tailor-made for him.

He turned to Wang Yan and said, "Teacher Wang, I'll buy this knife myself; the academy doesn't need to help me."

Wang Yan nodded. The inner court disciples were not short of money, and Dai Yueheng, as the eldest son of the White Tiger Duke's mansion, was even less short of money. They did not need the academy's support.

As soon as he made the offer, the golden-clad maid immediately performed a simple operation on the soul guide screen, and the huge number on the screen changed to 650,000.

This level-eight soul tool can be used by a Soul Saint, and Dai Yueheng will break through to Soul Saint in a few years. With the help of this level-eight soul tool, he will be able to fight even a Soul Douluo. No wonder he was tempted.

It can complement his White Tiger Martial Soul, and it's an eighth-level soul tool. Such a good thing is hard to come by. If he misses this opportunity, he doesn't know when he will be able to find a suitable one.

After Dai Yueheng made the offer, the number of Gold Soul Coins on the screen skyrocketed, quickly breaking the million mark.

However, the growth rate slowed down after surpassing one million.

Qingya then spoke up, "Distinguished guests, after careful analysis by our auction house, the material value of this Tyrant Tiger Soul Refining Blade, without considering the craftsmanship of the Soul Master, is approximately 600,000 gold soul coins. This is the source of our starting price. Its actual value is conservatively estimated to be over 1.3 million gold soul coins. The Tyrant Tiger Soul Bone itself has a slight flaw; it was damaged before being made into a Soul Tool, which is a major reason why the value of this Soul Tool is affected. However, the eighth-level Soul Master has eliminated the flaw during its creation. If the Soul Bone were intact, the power of this blade might be slightly higher, but its value would at least double. Personally, I think the Tyrant Tiger Soul Refining Blade offers excellent value for money."
