Mature-Sounding Young Woman

"This item starts at one hundred Gold Soul Coins. There is no limit on each raise."

"Who would buy that?"

"Exactly! It just looks a little nicer, and it's this expensive!"

"What a bore. How could something like this be put up for auction?"

"Only an idiot would buy it!"

A minute passed without a single buyer. Yu Shan seemed to have anticipated the outcome and showed no surprise.

"One hundred Gold Soul Coins!"

Yuan Luo spoke up. It looked quite nice—he could give it to a girl.

Still, he felt a certain yearning for the item.

It was cheap anyway. Buying it was no big deal. Perhaps this was where the benefits for transmigrators would start being handed out.

"VIP Room Number One!"

Everyone's eyes turned in that direction. They had originally thought no one was inside.

And judging from Yuan Luo's voice, he seemed to be just a child.

"One hundred Gold Soul Coins. Any higher bids?"

Yu Shan looked at Yuan Luo with deep affection. If Yuan Luo had not bid, this item might have rotted in her hands.

"Congratulations to this Lord Soul Master for winning the third item!"

The fourth auction item seemed even smaller than the third. As the red cloth was removed, a ring appeared on the tray.

Yu Shan stepped forward and began introducing it. "This ring is a Soul Tool with ninety-nine square meters of storage space. It is an exceptionally rare item."

"More importantly, it contains a core formation that can trigger passively and withstand a full-force strike from a Soul Saint. However, after it activates, it will disappear, leaving behind only an ordinary Storage Soul Tool."

"The starting price is one thousand Gold Soul Coins, and each bid must increase by no less than one hundred."

The ring was gray and engraved with several patterns. If one did not look closely, it would be impossible to tell that it was a Storage Soul Tool.

The moment Yuan Luo saw it in the VIP room, his heart practically drooled.

Ninety-nine square meters! It could hold several large trucks.

And it was a ring—a Storage Ring.

Glancing at the bracelet on his wrist, Yuan Luo looked at it with utter disdain. It was time for an upgrade.

"Two thousand!"

There were eighteen VIP rooms in total. One of them directly called out a price that left those below unable to compete, forcing them to stare helplessly at the Soul Tool before them.

Everyone present coveted it. This was a life-saving treasure.

"Three thousand!"

Another VIP room produced a gruff male voice. The man sounded like he must have been quite burly.

"Five thousand!"

A mature-sounding young woman's voice came from a booth beside Yuan Luo.

The sound made Yuan Luo's ears itch a little.

Yu Shan attracted people with her figure, but this girl could seduce people with her voice alone.

Judging from her voice, she should not have been much older than Yuan Luo, yet she gave off an icy feeling.

It was like the cold, aloof CEOs from his previous life—keeping people a thousand miles away while still tempting both body and soul.

"Little lady, you don't sound that old. How about I give it to you, and you keep me company for a night?"

The gruff-voiced man spoke again, this time with a lewdly playful tone.

"Seven thousand!"

"Disaster comes from the mouth. You'd better watch what you say!"

The woman snorted coldly. She ignored the man's words and merely gave him a slight warning.

"Hahaha! When has Li Kuang ever been afraid? Little lady, follow this lord, and I'll make you feel like you're in paradise every day!"

The man laughed loudly, his voice carrying a trace of vulgarity.

The people around them could no longer remain calm.

Li Kuang!

The madman of the Far North.

"So he's Li Kuang!"

"Yeah! I never expected him to be the man who could directly fight a Nine-Thousand-Year Ice Bear."

"Exactly. They say he's only level forty-nine now, but he can already kill Ten-Thousand-Year Soul Beasts."

"Don't provoke him, don't provoke him. Good thing I didn't compete with him!"

The woman's voice seemed to have vanished. Perhaps she was afraid as well.

"You're courting death!"

At that moment, another icy voice sounded from the woman's booth. The freezing voice made everyone feel as though they had entered a world of ice and snow, pierced by bitter cold.

All the water vapor in the hall condensed into ice crystals. Mist filled the hall, and the temperature actually dropped to minus thirty degrees.

Many people hugged themselves as snot ran from their noses.

"VIP Number Two, please withdraw your attack. Fighting is forbidden at the Auction House!"

An aged voice came from nowhere. The voice seemed capable of mesmerizing anyone who heard it.

"At least a Soul Saint!"

Yuan Luo narrowed his eyes as he sensed the Soul Power fluctuations around him.

He had never felt such fluctuations before. They were at least ten times stronger than the aura the dean had released when accompanying Tang San to hunt Soul Beasts last time.

It could be said that if this old man merely breathed on him, he would be seriously injured or die.

He had not expected such a powerful person to exist in this remote region.

Then again, without a powerful expert, this place would have descended into chaos long ago.

The surrounding temperature gradually rose, and the oppressive feeling vanished along with it.

Yuan Luo also began to doubt the woman's identity.

That voice definitely belonged to someone under thirty, and her Soul Power should have reached the Soul King level.

She seemed to be accompanying that mature-sounding young woman to hunt Soul Beasts.

Li Kuang no longer dared to tease her. He knew the woman's strength was definitely above his own.

Judging by her control over Soul Power alone, she far surpassed him.

"Ten thousand Gold Soul Coins! Sorry, but I really need this item, so I'd like to compete for it."

Yuan Luo no longer hid himself. This Storage Ring had to end up in his hands, or taking things out in the future would be too inconvenient.

That damned system. Fine, he could be a slacker, but it would not even give him system storage space. If he had system storage space, what use would a Storage Soul Tool be?

Everyone fell silent. Ten thousand Gold Soul Coins was already more than twice the price of this type of Soul Tool.

But with its life-saving ability, the price was not excessively high.

"Ten thousand one hundred!"

The occupant of VIP Room Number Three was a middle-aged man, and he unexpectedly joined the bidding.

Yuan Luo felt somewhat heavy-hearted.

He remembered that in the second part, a Ten Thousand Year Soul Bone seemed to have sold for around seven million. Only Soul Bones from super Soul Beasts like the Ice Jade Scorpion could be worth tens of millions or even hundreds of millions.

His Soul Bone was an ordinary Thousand-Year Soul Bone. It should be able to sell for one hundred thousand Gold Soul Coins.

That should be enough!

Then he could keep bidding.

"Eleven thousand Gold Soul Coins!"

The woman bid hesitantly. The price had probably already become very high for her.

Just as the young man was about to bid, Yuan Luo struck first.

"Fifteen thousand Gold Soul Coins. That's the most I can offer!"

Unexpectedly, Yuan Luo had raised the price by four thousand Gold Soul Coins at once. The girl and the middle-aged man both fell silent.

Paying this price for such an item was a bit of a loss. He could be called a complete sucker.

"I'll withdraw, little brother. It's yours!"

The middle-aged man ultimately gave up, because there was still another item later and he had to preserve his funds.

"I'll withdraw too!"

The girl remained silent for a long time before finally giving up as well.

"The fourth auction item belongs to the Soul Master in VIP Room Number One."

Yu Shan swayed her body, using her seductive voice to captivate everyone present.

"The next item is our grand finale. Considering that its price may be somewhat high, the Auction House has decided to allow credit bidding first."

"After the auction ends, the Soul Master who wins it must personally retrieve the payment with our chief appraiser. Let me secretly tell you, our chief appraiser is an expert at the Soul Douluo level."

"Please do not make false bids, or the consequences will be more than you can bear."

"The final auction item—a Soul Bone!"
