Chapter 90 Millionaire Dai Youheng
Just as Zhou Yi had predicted, the first bidding round was indeed exceptionally fierce.
Ultimately, the two soul bones were successfully auctioned off by Jiang Peng, the wealthy representative of the Imperial Academy of the Heavenly Soul Empire, for a high price of 4.5 million gold soul coins.
In fact, this is a bit more than the total value of the two soul bones. The ten-thousand-year-old Illusionary Fox skull is worth no more than three million gold soul coins on the market, while the thousand-year-old left arm bone is worth at most a few hundred thousand. However, the total value has increased because different parts are being auctioned together.
If all six parts were auctioned together, they would inevitably fetch an astronomical price.
The auction started at a fever pitch, with everyone's enthusiasm ignited and their anticipation for the upcoming items growing even stronger. Meanwhile, Dai Youheng's financial reserves instantly became more abundant.
On the auction stage, Xu Jiujiu smiled sweetly, very satisfied with the high price achieved by the first item.
She clapped her hands lightly, and two waiters immediately brought out a new item for auction. It was a long sword with a powerful and domineering design. The blade had a dark metallic luster, and one could vaguely see energy flowing inside. The hilt was inlaid with an amber crystal that exuded a fierce aura. The whole sword conveyed a heavy and dangerous sense of power.
"Congratulations to our distinguished guest for successfully acquiring that pair of precious combined soul bones for 4.5 million gold soul coins." A long, drawn-back voice brought everyone's attention back to the auction. "Now, our second item up for auction—the Tyrant Tiger Soul Refining Blade!"
She pointed to the long sword and explained, "This sword was crafted by an eighth-level Soul Master. Although it is an eighth-level Soul Tool, its ingenious design lies in the fact that it does not have strict requirements on the user's Soul Power level. Generally speaking, Soul Masters at the Soul Grandmaster level can initially control it and unleash greater power as their strength increases. It perfectly meets the needs of offensive Soul Masters."
"Within the blade lies the essence of a soul bone from a ten-thousand-year-old Tyrant Tiger Soul Beast, granting it an innate and extremely powerful amplification effect. When swung, its power multiplies, easily tearing apart defensive soul tools or protective qi of the same level. Even more precious is the powerful active attack soul skill, the Tyrant Tiger Annihilation Slash! Once activated, it unleashes a gigantic blade beam imbued with destructive power, its might astounding!"
"Starting bid: one million gold soul coins! Each bid must be at least fifty thousand gold soul coins!"
The second item appeared, and it was the Tyrant Tiger Soul Refining Blade that Youheng had always wanted.
However, although the Tyrant Tiger Soul Refining Blade is very powerful, it is not as versatile as a soul bone, which most people can absorb.
For example, many masters of weapon spirits still use their own spirits in their fighting style, and the Tyrant Tiger Soul Refining Blade may not be as suitable as their own spirits.
Soul Masters of the three types—food-type, support-type, and agility-type—have only a moderate desire for this treasure because the Tyrant Tiger Soul Refining Blade is quite heavy and they cannot wield it well.
Therefore, this thing is actually only suitable for one type of person: powerful beast spirit attack-type battle spirit masters.
This restriction significantly reduced the number of competitors, and Dai Youheng seized the opportunity, directly offering a price: "One million two hundred thousand!"
The price immediately scared off many bidders who were initially interested but had limited budgets. Although a few people continued to raise the price, the room fell completely silent when Dai Youheng calmly pushed the price up to 1.5 million gold soul coins.
After surveying the room for a long time and confirming that no one else would bid, he smiled and brought down the gavel. "One million five hundred thousand gold soul coins, the third time, sold! Congratulations to this distinguished guest, this Tyrant Tiger Soul Refining Blade is now yours."
On Shrek Academy's side, Zhou Yi nodded and said to Dai Youheng, "This blade contains a tiger-type soul bone, which is indeed extremely compatible with your martial soul. With it, your ability to directly attack should be able to reach a new level."
Dai Youheng smiled slightly and said confidently, "Of course, my judgment is never wrong."
The auction continued. Xu Jiujiu, well-versed in the art of auctions, did not continuously offer soul bones, but instead interspersed other treasures to maintain freshness. After several more precious ores, medicinal herbs, and a level-seven soul tool were auctioned off, the atmosphere in the room was once again heightened.
"The next item up for auction is also a soul bone!" Xu Jiujiu's voice carried a hint of inflammatory rhetoric.
On the tray brought by the waiter, a left arm bone, which was entirely ice blue, shaped like a bow, covered with fine, sharp protrusions, and exuding a chilling aura, came into view.
"This is the left arm bone of a 30,000-year-old Ice Arrow Porcupine," Xu Jiujiu explained in detail. "The Ice Arrow Porcupine is no ordinary soul beast. It is enormous, covered entirely in hard, ice-blue fur and sharp quills that look like they've been formed from solidified ice. Its most powerful ability is to perfectly combine its ice-attribute soul power with its own quills, allowing it to fire powerful ice arrows with a strong freezing effect from a distance to hunt."
"This left arm bone perfectly inherits the characteristics of the Ice Arrow Porcupine. Absorbing it will greatly increase a Soul Master's chances of gaining powerful ice-attribute ranged attack capabilities, or an extremely strong ice-attribute enchantment piercing effect. For ice-attribute Soul Masters, especially control-type ice Soul Masters who wish to compensate for their attack methods and enhance their burst damage, its value is immeasurable!"
These words instantly ignited the enthusiasm in both places.
Shrek Academy rest area and Sun Moon Royal Soul Master Academy rest area!
On Shrek Academy's side, Ling Luochen's breathing became slightly rapid. As a control-type Soul King, her control over ice was beyond question, but her lack of powerful offensive methods had always been her weakness.
This soul bone is practically tailor-made for her!
On the Sun and Moon Academy side, Meng Hongchen's beautiful eyes also lit up. Her Zhu Qing Ice Toad Martial Soul excelled at channeling poison within ice, making it unpredictable and difficult to defend against, but it also lacked direct and powerful ice-attribute physical attacks. This soul bone could not only make up for her weakness, but might even allow her to fuse the deadly poison with the ice arrow attacks of this soul bone, producing an even more terrifying transformation!
"Starting bid: three million gold soul coins! Each bid must be at least one hundred thousand gold soul coins!" Xu Jiujiu announced.
"Three million one hundred thousand!" Ling Luochen said immediately, his voice tinged with urgency.
"Three million three hundred thousand!" Meng Hongchen retorted without backing down, her voice clear and crisp.
"Three and a half million!" Ling Luochen gritted his teeth.
"Three million eight hundred thousand!" Xiao Hongchen lazily raised the price for his sister, appearing wealthy and powerful.
"Four million!" Zhou Yi, representing Shrek Academy, made her offer.
"Four million five hundred thousand!" The Sun Moon Academy replied without hesitation.
The price skyrocketed, quickly surpassing the five million mark and continuing to rise. Both academies were clearly determined to acquire this soul bone, resulting in fierce bidding.
Finally, when the price reached six million gold soul coins, Zhou Yi sighed helplessly and shook her head. Shrek Academy's funds could not compare with the Royal Soul Master Academy, which was backed by the entire Sun Moon Empire. It wasn't that they were short of money, but this price had exceeded their bottom line. There might be even more expensive and better things to come, and they couldn't afford to spend most of their funds on this 30,000-year soul bone.
After that, Shrek Academy lost its competitiveness.
"Six million gold soul coins, third time, sold! Congratulations, esteemed guest!" After a long while, Xiao Hongchen revealed a smug smile on his face and cast a provocative glance in the direction of Shrek Academy.
Dai Youheng sat to the side, silently calculating in his mind. He had spent 1.5 million on the Tyrant Tiger Soul Refining Blade, leaving him with approximately 1.5 million in personal funds. However, the 4.5 million he received from the auction of the two soul bones, plus the 6 million he earned from the auction of the Ice Arrow Porcupine's left arm bone, after deducting a 10% commission, meant his total funds had reached:
150 million + 405 million + 540 million = 1095 million Gold Soul Coins!
And this doesn't even include the grand finale, the level nine soul tool, the God-Sealing Platform!
"Tsk tsk, in the blink of an eye, I'm a multi-millionaire." Dai Youheng chuckled to himself, extremely satisfied with tonight's auction results. Ample funds would be a crucial guarantee for all his subsequent plans.
