Boom—

In the scene, a violent explosion erupted. Centered on Long Aotian, it formed a massive crater with a radius of five meters.

And Long Aotian, caught in that terrifying blast, appeared to be dead beyond any doubt, lying sprawled there without moving.

But as a flash of golden light emerged, eleven pieces of blue armor appeared.

The man who had already stopped breathing moments ago suddenly seemed to rise like a corpse returning from the dead.

He had revived!

The dark figure flew into a rage and roared, "Isn't this the betrothal gift I gave your master's wife? Why is it on you too?!"

The scene abruptly ended, replaced by a message:

Battle Armor: Sage's Blessing Effect 1: Increases a Spirit Master's defense! Effect 2: Unique Passive · Rebirth! After fusion, a Spirit Master will revive on the spot two seconds after death. (A weakened state will follow revival.) Note: Can trigger at most twice. After two uses, the Rebirth skill disappears.

At that moment, the entire auction hall fell silent. It seemed as though even breathing could be heard.

The terrifying strike delivered by the shadowy powerhouse in the scene lingered in everyone's minds.

"A tiny piece of Battle Armor can actually bring someone back from the dead. What a terrifying effect." Demon Subduing Douluo, the weakest Douluo of the Worship Hall, exclaimed in amazement.

"Coming back from the dead?"

"Coming back from the dead... what a terrifying ability..."

"Perhaps only the Gods can accomplish something like that!"

"But this tiny Sage's Blessing can actually do it!!"

"This has already surpassed his imagination!!"

Such a treasure was actually being put up for auction.

Tang San, Dai Mubai, and the others revealed greedy looks, like Fierce Wolves encountering fat sheep.

From the scene and the information just shown, they could all sense the value of this Battle Armor called Sage's Blessing.

It was equivalent to having two extra lives!!

"This is simply a nightmare for Agility Attack System Spirit Masters," Zhu Zhuqing sighed.

As an Agility Attack System Spirit Master herself, she knew her role well. She was like a phantom in the darkness, lurking in the shadows, waiting for an opportunity before launching a fatal strike.

But this Battle Armor not only increased a Spirit Master's defense.

Most terrifyingly, it could bring the dead back to life. That would make the role of Agility Attack System Spirit Masters extremely awkward!!

Battle Armor?

Bibi Dong's beautiful eyes stared at the auction platform as she pondered silently.

This Battle Armor was indeed enough to alter the balance of Douluo Continent.

The common types of Spirit Masters currently included Assault Type, Agility Attack System, Control Type, Defense Type, Healing Type, Support Type, Food Type, and so on.

For most Spirit Masters, every ten levels they gained, the Spirit Rings they paired with would strengthen the traits of their own Martial Souls. For example, Support Types would enhance their support abilities, while Assault Types would increase their strength.

More advanced Spirit Masters could also use Spirit Bones to enhance their abilities and make their Spirit Skill combinations more perfect.

As the Auction Pavilion had stated, each Spirit Master could fuse with six pieces of Battle Armor. If that were the case...

Spirit Masters would have far more options.

Once Battle Armor enhanced a Spirit Master's defense and agility or provided Spirit Skills, they would have far more choices when selecting Spirit Ring Skills, rather than being restricted by their existing path.

However, only wealthy and powerful Titled Douluo would likely be able to possess such Battle Armor. Ordinary Spirit Masters could not afford it.

Coming to this auction house had been the right decision!!

Ning Fengzhi's eyes burned as he stared fixedly at that message:

It increased a Spirit Master's defense and possessed an outrageously powerful revival ability!!

To be honest, even he found it a little hard to believe!!

It was too miraculous, so miraculous that it seemed unbelievable!!

It was practically tailor-made for the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile Pagoda Martial Soul.

Everyone knew that although the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile Pagoda was the number one support Martial Soul on Douluo Continent, it had no means of self-defense and required the protection of companions.

Because of this, in actual battles, the enemy's top priority was always Spirit Masters with the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile Pagoda Martial Soul.

But with this Battle Armor, things would be different.

One would have a chance to start life over again!!

That would buy precious time, allowing companions to come to their rescue in time.

"This Battle Armor must be won, no matter the price," Ning Fengzhi declared firmly.

What excited Ning Fengzhi even more was that, according to the Auction Pavilion, every Spirit Master could fuse with six pieces of Battle Armor.

The greatest limitation of the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile Sect was that its direct disciples lacked offensive power. But with Battle Armor...

In the future, as possessors of the strongest support Martial Soul, perhaps they would no longer need to rely on their teammates' protection. They might even be able to unleash formidable combat power themselves.

"I believe everyone already understands the importance of this Battle Armor. I hereby announce that the auction officially begins."

"The starting bid is Fifty Thousand Auction Points."

"Please place your bids."

"Sixty Thousand Auction Points."

Dugu Bo was the first to break the silence and make a bid.

He had not participated in the second round of bidding because he felt that the Thousand Year Eight Spider Lances would not improve him much.

He understood that raising a Thousand Year Soul Bone to God Level might require several times the value of Two Hundred Thousand Auction Points.

Moreover, although he still had many Auction Points in hand, those points had all been exchanged using Spirit Medicine.

In other words, once he successfully won an auction, the Auction Pavilion would automatically deduct Spirit Medicine of equivalent value.

Most of that Spirit Medicine had been gathered by Dugu Bo from all across the land and was extremely valuable.

Naturally, he would not part with it lightly.

But now, upon seeing this Battle Armor, he wanted to give it a try.

Sixty-One Thousand Auction Points.

As the second-in-command of the Worship Hall, how could Golden Crocodile Douluo miss out on such a treasure?

"Seventy Thousand Auction Points."

"Seventy-One Thousand Auction Points."

"Eighty Thousand Auction Points."

"Hundred Thousand Auction Points."

Good heavens. Aside from those adding One Thousand Auction Points each time, everyone else was raising the bid by ten thousand at a time. They really were filthy rich, with money to burn.

"Who do you think will end up getting this Battle Armor?"

"Anyway, it definitely won't be people like us..."

"Brother, do you know? The truth hurts the most."

"I don't think Dugu Bo can get it either, even though he's bidding fiercely."

"After all, he just bought the Heaven Restoring Pill. He probably doesn't have many chips left."

"I still think it'll be Your Excellency the Pope. Across all of Douluo Continent, aside from the Two Great Empires, there probably aren't many forces wealthier than Spirit Hall."

"That's hard to say. Your Excellency the Pope just spent Four Hundred Thousand Auction Points in one go. She may not have much left either."

"Brother, you have a point. Then perhaps the other Major Sects will get lucky."

"Hundred Seventy Thousand Auction Points."

Amid the crowd's discussions, the bidding price for the Battle Armor, Sage's Blessing, had already reached the astronomical sum of Hundred Seventy Thousand Auction Points.

But everyone understood that Hundred Seventy Thousand was not the end. The value of this Battle Armor would certainly exceed that of the second item, the External Soul Bone Eight Spider Lances.

The vast majority had already withdrawn from the competition.

Only a handful of people still had the qualifications to keep bidding.
