Douluo Continent: Starting with a Heavenly Fire Judgment

Chapter 152 Noumenon Sect

When Wang Qiu'er saw Ji Lin shake his head at her, she could only keep her doubts to herself.

Wang Yan sat on the sofa, his brows furrowed. This 100,000-year-old gilded fire phoenix left arm bone was a perfect match for Ma Xiaotao, a Soul Master of the Evil Fire Phoenix. Ma Xiaotao also lacked a left arm bone, and with the physical attributes of her top-tier beast spirit, once she broke through to Soul Saint, she could try absorbing this 100,000-year-old soul bone. At that point, a Soul Saint-level Ma Xiaotao could even fight against a Soul Douluo. The temptation was too great.

However, the allure of a 100,000-year-old soul bone was immense. He feared that someone might risk everything to snatch it. After all, they were currently in a competition, and if some desperate individuals attacked them and injured the students, it would be a huge loss if it affected the competition. Although the Star Luo Empire was responsible for security during the competition, they couldn't keep an eye on them all the time. If Elder Xuan were here, that would be great.

Thinking of this, Wang Yan sighed. With Elder Xuan, a level 98 Super Douluo, protecting them, he believed that not many people would be willing to take the risk.

They just hoped that the academy would send someone to pick them up after the competition, otherwise they might be attacked on the way.

Ma Xiaotao noticed Wang Yan's worry and comforted him, "Don't worry, Teacher Wang, the academy won't abandon us. The academy will receive the news as soon as we buy this soul bone, and they will definitely send someone over. Don't worry."

Upon hearing this, Wang Yan realized, "Yes! The academy couldn't possibly be unaware of such a large flow of funds; they will definitely send someone over."

Ji Lin's expression turned strange upon hearing their conversation. He had heard Chi Yuan say a few days ago that Xuan Zi had arrived in Xingluo City, but had not yet shown himself.

Wang Yan's worries were indeed unnecessary.

Thirty minutes is long enough for many people to handle many things.

The Starlight Auction House opened the exchange channel in order to take the opportunity to exchange for some good things from other top forces, such as the soul tools of the Sun Moon Royal Soul Master Academy.

Given the relationship between the Sun Moon Empire and the Star Luo Empire, they don't have a consumer card like Shrek Academy. They can only exchange soul tools for cash, which gives the Star Luo Empire the opportunity to make a fortune.

The auction began quickly. The starting price for the 100,000-year-old gilded fire phoenix left arm bone was 80 million gold soul coins. Even Princess Jiujiu said that this starting price set a record for Starlight Auction House. After all, there had never been an auction for a 100,000-year-old soul bone before. Starlight Auction House was the first. Just this name alone could place Starlight Auction House at the pinnacle of the auction world. This was something that money could not buy. It was also one of the reasons why Ji Lin took out the 100,000-year-old soul bone: to help his future wife's business take another step forward, which was to help himself.

The ensuing bidding was nothing short of brutal. With multiple competitors vying for the price, it continued to rise, quickly reaching 100 million gold soul coins. After that, the bidding began to slow down.

After all, a price exceeding one hundred million gold soul coins is not something that ordinary forces can afford.

Only Shrek Academy, Sun Moon Royal Soul Master Academy, and a few other sects could offer it.

Ma Xiaotao stood in front of the soul guidance screen, gritted her teeth, and said, "One hundred and ten million."

Qingya, standing next to her, blushed with excitement and quickly helped Ma Xiaotao enter the quote.

That's over 100 million gold soul coins! After this auction, she'll not only advance in rank but also receive a commission, which is no small sum!

Xiao Xiao and the others sat on the sofa with blank expressions. They had been like this ever since Ma Xiaotao made her offer.

In VIP Room No. 2, Xiao Hongchen frowned slightly. Although a 100,000-year soul bone was very precious and rare, this soul bone did not match his and Meng's attributes. There was no need to spend such a huge price to compete for it. It was not that their Hongchen family was not incapable of hunting 100,000-year soul beasts.

Thinking of this, Xiao Hongchen gave up the competition.

The people behind him, including Old Ma, breathed a sigh of relief. They were really afraid that Xiao Hongchen would get carried away and buy the soul bone without considering the consequences.

Seeing that he had given up, her expression relaxed.

After the Sun Moon Royal Soul Master Academy gave up, only one opponent remained to compete with Ma Xiaotao.

VIP Room No. 3

"Damn it. If I find out who offered this price, I'll kill him." There were only two people in this VIP room, both appearing to be in their forties. The speaker was tall, and most notably, his right arm was exceptionally thick, at least twice the size of his left. He exuded an aura of a prehistoric beast.

The other person was small in stature, but had an unusually large head, making them look somewhat like a bobblehead. Their sparse hair was still yellow, but their eyes shone brightly, like beacons, when they opened and closed.

Judging from their appearance, the two were clearly disciples of the Body Sect.

Only a top-tier power like the Body Sect can compete with the Sun Moon Royal Soul Master Academy and Shrek Academy.

"It's just a 100,000-year-old soul bone. Although it's rare, our Body Sect isn't without ways to hunt 100,000-year-old soul beasts. Let's see who the opponent is first. If they're not strong enough, then we'll just snatch it."

As he spoke, the large-headed man narrowed his eyes, and then the air in the entire VIP room began to distort violently. It felt like seeing ripples on water in a blazing fire when one was in a trance. Everything in the room seemed to become unreal.

Each VIP room had an auctioneer and two maids to greet guests. The three auction house staff members were the first to be affected; trembling, their eyes quickly became vacant. They stood there motionless, stunned.

The big-headed man sat back down on the sofa, beckoned to the woman who was also a black-level auctioneer, and said, "You, come here."

The black-level auctioneer strode forward and stood frozen in front of him.

"Go out and find out who was bidding against us just now."

"Yes." The black-level auctioneer actually answered respectfully and turned to leave.

"Second brother, you're really something. Why don't we just take control of everyone at this auction and rob the stuff?" the burly man said in a low voice. As he spoke, a fierce glint flashed in his eyes, and a series of crackling sounds erupted from his thick right arm. These weren't the sounds of bones, but rather the sounds produced by the changes in the airflow around his arm.

The big-headed man shook his head. "No way. This Starlight Auction House is backed by the Star Luo Empire's royal family. Besides, how could such a top-tier auction be without anyone in charge? I can sense at least four powerful auras here, four Title Douluos. Do you want to die? Unless a sect elder is here, we won't come out unscathed. Don't worry, this 100,000-year soul bone isn't so easy to absorb. Even if we did absorb it, we could snatch it back. Let's see who our opponents are. If they're easy targets, are we afraid we can't get it back?"
