Douluo: The Ultimate Fire Spirit Auction

There was another reason why he gave up, which was that this card could not completely guarantee that it could raise his own martial soul to a higher level.

If the martial soul evolution fails, wouldn’t it be a waste of hundreds of millions of gold soul coins?

Taking all the above factors into consideration, Xu Tianran had to give up this auction item.

Zhongli Wu of the Holy Spirit Church fell silent. 2 million was not an unaffordable amount for them, but was it worth it to pay so much for a card that might not evolve %?

Shrek's Moon and Xuan Zi looked at each other and saw each other's helplessness.

The college’s funds need to be planned in a coordinated manner, and their goal is the auction items to be auctioned later.

Ling Yun looked around the room and saw that no one was bidding again. She slowly said, "2 million gold soul coins for the first time!"

"2 million gold soul coins for the second time!"

The audience remained silent as all the major forces weighed the pros and cons.

In the end, they gave up.

Firstly, the price is too high. Secondly, the financial strength of the Nine Treasures Glazed Tile Sect is obvious to all. The chances of winning if they continue to compete are slim. It is better to conserve their strength and wait for the next items to be auctioned.

"2 million gold soul coins for the third time! Deal!"

When the auction hammer fell, Ning Qitian breathed a sigh of relief, his face revealing an unconcealable excitement.

The disciples of the Nine Treasures Glazed Tile Sect cheered softly.

This card may become the key to the sect's rise!

Ling Yun signaled the waiter to deliver the card to the Nine Treasures Glazed Tile Sect's table. Then she turned around and scanned the entire audience: "Next, it's the fourth lot of this auction."

Everyone's attention was focused on the stage again. After experiencing the shock of the martial soul upgrade card, they were full of anticipation for what was to come, and even felt a little uneasy.

If even the martial soul can be improved, what more outrageous treasures will be revealed later?

Lingyun waved her jade hand, and a huge transparent cover appeared on the stage.

Inside the cover, there was a huge... spider crawling?

No, that's no ordinary spider!

Its entire body is made of dark golden metal, and its eight limbs are as sharp as blades, flashing with a cold light.

The strangest thing is its head - it is a miniature human face with clear features, and you can even see the metallic luster flowing under the "skin".

"The human-faced demon spider?!"

Someone cried out, but immediately shook his head, "No! This aura... is too strange!"

That’s right, this thing looks exactly like the human-faced demon spider.

Even the cold and bloodthirsty aura was imitated perfectly.

But anyone with a discerning eye could see that it had no life waves and exuded the cold texture unique to machinery.

"Is it a puppet? Xingchen Auction House has sold similar ones before, but they weren't this realistic!"

"It doesn't look like a puppet...it looks more like...a soul guide?"

At the seat of the Sun and Moon Empire, Jing Hongchen, the head of Mingde Hall, suddenly stood up.

He stared at the mechanical human-faced demon spider, his eyes filled with shock and fanaticism.

"This structure... this method of transmitting soul power... is definitely not ordinary! It can actually simulate the aura and form of soul beasts, even the pressure is so realistic!"

Xu Tianran was also stunned, and then his eyes burst into strong interest.

"Master Jing, will this thing be helpful to our soul guide research?"

Jing Hongchen's voice trembled with excitement: "Your Majesty! This is more than helpful! This is simply opening the door to a new world! Look at its joint design, its energy core..."

"If we can understand the underlying principles, our soul guide technology will advance by at least ten years! We might even be able to develop a completely new combat soul guide!"

Xuan Zi from Shrek Academy frowned. "A mechanical creation? Being able to imitate the human-faced demon spider to this degree... This technology far exceeds the current level of Douluo Continent."

Moon mused, "How exactly are the Star Auction Pavilion made? These things are far beyond the current level of Douluo Continent's soul guides..."

Du Bu Si of the Body Sect looked solemn. "Although the aura this thing emits is an imitation, it is quite oppressive. If it were mass-produced, it would probably pose a huge threat to other forces."

Zhongli Wu of the Holy Spirit Cult was thinking, "If we could control this mechanical beast and use it to carry out assassinations or raids, that would be great..."

The discussions on the field began again, more complicated than before.

There is curiosity, vigilance, greed, and anxiety.

This mechanical human-faced demon spider overturned their understanding of soul guides and puppets.

Ling Yun and the others paused in their discussion before slowly speaking, "Everyone, this is not a living creature, nor is it an ordinary puppet. It's a 'Mechanical Soul Beast Human-Faced Demon Spider'."

"It is made of special star metal, and its built-in core can simulate all the abilities of the human-faced demon spider, including its venom, speed, and attack power."

"More importantly, it can be driven by soul energy. It doesn't require feeding or a contract. As long as there is enough energy, it can perfectly replicate the combat power of a ten thousand year old Face-Faced Demon Spider."

"what?!"

Jing Hongchen exclaimed in shock, "Can it replicate a ten-thousand-year-old combat power? And it doesn't even require a contract? This... this is simply a groundbreaking invention!"

Xu Tianran clenched his fists suddenly, and a hint of ruthlessness flashed in his eyes.

"We must capture it! With this mechanical soul beast, the empire's military strength will undergo a qualitative change!"

The top leaders of other forces also changed their expressions.

If hostile forces get this thing, the consequences will be unimaginable!

Lingyun seemed not to notice the crowd's shock and continued.

"This robotic human-faced demon spider is not only a formidable combat force, but also a perfect example for studying the integration of soul guides and biological forms. Its starting price is 2000 million gold soul coins, with each bid increment of no less than 1000 million! Bidding begins!"

"3000 million!"

Xu Tianran almost shouted, fearing that someone else would get there first.

"4000 million!"

Xuan Zi from Shrek Academy followed without hesitation. They must not let this technology fall into the hands of the Sun and Moon Empire.

"5000 million!"

Zhongli Wu of the Holy Spirit Church also joined the battle. This kind of killing weapon was exactly what they needed.

The price soared and soon exceeded 2 million.

The atmosphere on the field became heated again.

Everyone understands that this is no longer about buying an auction item, but about competing for future technological hegemony...

Chapter 274: Excited Mingde Hall

As the competition on the scene became fierce, Lingyun began to continue introducing some of the missing information about this auction item.

"Its core energy source is compatible with a variety of soul guide crystal cores, and its endurance far exceeds that of soul guides of the same tier. More importantly, its built-in combat module can autonomously analyze the battle situation, allowing it to unleash 80% of its combat potential even if the operator's soul power is insufficient."

As soon as these words fell, Xiao Hongchen, who was sitting at the seat in Mingde Hall, suddenly stood up, and the young man's clear voice was filled with uncontrollable excitement.

"Grandpa! Did you hear that? It's analyzing the battle situation autonomously! This means it can coordinate tactics like a real soul beast!"

Meng Hongchen beside him also nodded vigorously, and the girl's eyes flashed with obsession with soul guide technology.

"And it's compatible with a variety of crystal cores, which means it's highly adaptable. If we can disassemble it and study it, we might be able to improve our existing soul guide cannon energy system!"

Jing Hongchen took a deep breath and suppressed his turbulent emotions, but still couldn't help clenching his fists.

"Don't worry, Grandpa understands its value. The puppet we bought from the Star Auction Pavilion has already taken our soul guide technology to a new level. This mechanical soul beast... will only bring greater surprises."

He turned to look at Xu Tianran, his tone more resolute than ever before: "Your Majesty, this thing must be taken."

"With it, our Sun-Moon Empire's soul guide army will achieve a qualitative leap. Just imagine, a thousand ten-thousand-year-old mechanical soul beasts lined up in formation. Who can resist them?"

Xu Tianran raised the corner of his mouth in a cold arc, and tapped his fingertips heavily on the armrest.

"I understand what you mean. Money is not a problem. Even if it costs more than the spirit level upgrade card just now, I must keep it in the Sun-Moon Empire."

On the other side, Xian Lin'er, the dean of the Soul Guidance Department of Shrek Academy, had a gleam in her eyes.

She gently pushed the gold-rimmed glasses on her nose, her voice filled with unquestionable determination.

"Master Xuan, Master Mu, the technical concept of this mechanical soul beast is exactly what our soul guidance department urgently needs."

Moon nodded slightly, his eyes sweeping over the Sun and Moon Empire forces that were watching covetously from the audience.

"Let's fight for it. The strategy set by the academy is very clear. Soul guide technology must catch up as soon as possible. This thing may be the breakthrough point."

Xuanzi added: "But you also have to do it within your means. The items that follow are equally important. If the price exceeds your expectations, don't force it."

Xian Lin'er nodded in agreement, her gaze returning to the robotic human-faced demon spider on the stage.

She could feel that the sophistication of this thing was far beyond her imagination, and the flow of soul power in the joints even carried some kind of biological rhythm - this idea of ​​a "simulated soul guide" was an area that Shrek was completely blank in at the moment.

The bidding at the auction soon became fierce.

"3 million!"

Xu Tianran was the first to quote a high price, with a sense of pressure that he was determined to win.

The technology of this soul guide device is related to the future development direction of their Sun-Moon Empire. They must use the absolute advantage of the soul guide device to crush all forces in the Douluo Continent.

In this way, their Sun-Moon Empire will not be afraid of subsequent threats from other forces, especially the Holy Spirit Church.

Their Sun-Moon Empire had offended the Holy Spirit Church before, and because of what had happened on the continent before, the Holy Spirit Church had no time to care about their Sun-Moon Empire.

If the Holy Spirit Church were allowed to recover and grow in strength, their Sun-Moon Empire would be in danger of extinction.

"3 million!"

Xian Lin'er immediately followed up, her voice calm but sharp. The development of their Shrek soul guides required more advanced soul guide technology.

Nowadays, the advanced soul guidance technology of Douluo Continent is almost completely monopolized by the Sun-Moon Empire. By the time their Shrek Academy decided to develop soul guidance equipment, it was already too late.

Therefore, this auction item also determines whether Shrek Academy's soul guide technology can be advanced one step, which is the most critical point.

"4 million!"

Zhongli Wu of the Holy Spirit Cult suddenly joined in, his voice from beneath his hood carrying a hint of viciousness, "This kind of lethal weapon is exactly what our cult wants."

"5 million!"
