Auction: Five Treasures Cause Dispute (Part 2)

"60,000 points!" Yu Tianxin of the Blue Lightning Tyrant Dragon Clan immediately raised his paddle, his eyes filled with fervor. The Blue Lightning Tyrant Dragon Clan was famous for its lightning-attribute soul skills. If this "Thunder Pattern Crystal" were integrated into the clan's inherited weapon, it would undoubtedly elevate the clan's strength.

"80,000 points!" Ghost Douluo of the Martial Soul Hall raised his paddle, his tone icy. The Martial Soul Hall also had many lightning-attribute Soul Masters, so they naturally didn't want this ore to fall into the hands of the Blue Lightning Tyrant Dragon Clan.

"100,000 points!" Yu Tianxin bid without hesitation, a hint of ferocity on his face--this "Thunder Pattern Crystal" was crucial to the Blue Lightning Tyrant Dragon Clan, and they had to acquire it no matter what.

Ghost Douluo wanted to continue bidding, but was stopped by Qian Daoliu beside him. "Our target is the combat techniques later. Don't waste points on resources like this," Qian Daoliu said in a low voice. Ghost Douluo's expression darkened, and he finally put down his paddle.

"100,000 points once! 100,000 points twice!" Mo Chen's voice fell. Just as the gavel was about to strike, the representative from Sea God Island suddenly raised their paddle: "120,000 points!"

Yu Tianxin looked up sharply, his eyes filled with anger: "Friends from Sea God Island, this 'Thunder Pattern Crystal' is useless to you. Why compete with us?"

The Sea God Island representative said calmly: "There are disciples on my island who cultivate lightning-attribute soul skills, so we naturally need this ore."

Yu Tianxin gritted his teeth, wanting to bid again, but found he didn't have enough points--he had already consumed a significant portion of his budget fighting for the "Soul Ring Enhancement Fluid" earlier. In the end, he could only watch helplessly as Mo Chen struck the gavel: "120,000 points thrice! Congratulations to Sea God Island for acquiring the 'Thunder Pattern Crystal'!"

The air in the auction hall seemed ignited by points. As the second auction item, the "Thunder Pattern Crystal," was taken by Sea God Island, the gazes of the major powers below grew even more fervent--everyone knew that the real highlight had just begun. Mo Chen stood at the center of the auction platform, his fingertips moving with soul power. Two auction house employees walked onto the stage carrying trays covered with silver silk. The energy fluctuations faintly visible beneath the silk made everyone below instinctively straighten their backs.

Mo Chen raised his hand and lifted the silk from the first tray. A silver-white bracelet appeared--the bracelet was engraved with complex spiral patterns, and faint blue soul power flowed between the patterns. When gently shaken, a faint "humming" sound could be heard, as if a separate space was hidden within.

"The third auction item, the 'Hundred-Gathering Living Storage Soul Guiding Bracelet'." Mo Chen's voice, transmitted through soul power, spread throughout the venue, each word falling clearly into everyone's ears. "This bracelet is forged from an ancient soul tool core, with an internal space of two hundred cubic meters. It can not only store inanimate objects but also accommodate living beings for more than seven days; the most crucial point is that the bracelet comes with a 'Spiritual Connection Defense Array,' which can automatically resist all soul skill attacks below the Soul King level. Even attacks from the Soul King level will have their damage reduced by 50%."

He paused, tapped the bracelet with his fingertip, and a faint blue defensive light screen instantly expanded. The runes appearing on the light screen made the Soul Masters below gasp: "For forces that need to undertake long-distance expeditions and transport precious living creatures (such as Immortal Herb Seedlings, young soul beasts), this bracelet can be called a 'mobile treasure vault.' Starting price, 80,000 points."

"100,000 points!" Dai Weisi of the Star Luo Empire raised his paddle almost as soon as Mo Chen finished speaking, his eyes filled with determination--the Star Luo Empire's army was constantly campaigning. When transporting supplies and wounded soldiers, they often encountered soul beast attacks. This bracelet could greatly reduce losses.

"120,000 points!" Yu Tianxin of the Blue Lightning Tyrant Dragon Clan followed closely, his fingers tightly gripping his point token, a hint of urgency on his face--missing the "Thunder Pattern Crystal" earlier had left him fuming. This soul tool bracelet was crucial for the Blue Lightning Tyrant Dragon Clan to transport lightning ore, and they absolutely could not lose it again.

Dai Weisi glanced at Yu Tianxin, his tone carrying a hint of mockery: "Young Master Yu, the Blue Lightning Tyrant Dragon Clan couldn't even snatch the 'Thunder Pattern Crystal' from Sea God Island. You might not have the strength to get this bracelet. 150,000 points!"

"180,000 points!" Yu Tianxin bid without hesitation, faint lightning patterns even appearing around him--he had brought 250,000 points this time, precisely to make up for his previous regret. "Does the Star Luo Empire want to suppress us with points? We, the Blue Lightning Tyrant Dragon Clan, have never been afraid!"

Ning Fengzhi, below the stage, gently fanned himself and said to Dugu Bo beside him: "These two have really gone at it. However, although this bracelet is good, it's not as practical for our Seven Treasure Glazed Tile Sect as the Soul Ring Enhancement Fluid." Dugu Bo nodded, his gaze falling on the other uncovered tray, a flicker of anticipation in his eyes--he was more interested in the combat technique auction items that were coming next.

On the auction stage, Dai Weisi's expression gradually turned grim. The Star Luo Empire's points this time were mainly prepared for the subsequent combat techniques. 180,000 was already close to the budget limit. He hesitated for a moment, then gritted his teeth and raised his paddle: "200,000 points! The Star Luo Empire is determined to have this bracelet!"

Yu Tianxin looked at the remaining 70,000 points on his point token, his fingers trembling slightly--200,000 had exceeded his expectations, but if he gave up, who knew how long it would be before he encountered such a practical soul tool again. Just as he was struggling, an elder from the Blue Lightning Tyrant Dragon Clan behind him quietly tugged his sleeve and whispered: "Young Master, save your points for the combat techniques. Don't let a small gain lead to a big loss."

Yu Tianxin took a deep breath and finally lowered his hand. Seeing this, Mo Chen announced loudly: "200,000 points once! 200,000 points twice! 200,000 points thrice!" The moment the gavel fell, Dai Weisi let out a long sigh of relief, a triumphant smile in his eyes. The Star Luo Empire's guards immediately stepped forward and carefully collected the bracelet.

Before everyone could recover from the bidding war for the soul tool bracelet, Mo Chen lifted the silk from the second tray--two scrolls with a golden luster were placed side by side. The scrolls were embroidered with the characters "Mountain Splitting" and "Sea Controlling" respectively. The combat energy fluctuations were several times more intense than the "Thunder Pattern Crystal" before.

"The fourth auction item, a pair of Yellow-grade intermediate combat technique scrolls: 'Mountain Splitting Art' and 'Sea Controlling Art'." Mo Chen's voice carried a hint of solemnity. "'Mountain Splitting Art' is exclusive to the Assault System. After casting, it condenses soul power onto the weapon, unleashing an attack containing a 'shockwave' that can instantly shatter rock layers and has a counter effect on earth-attribute soul beasts; 'Sea Controlling Art' is exclusive to the Control System. It can manipulate water currents within a hundred-meter radius to form a 'water prison' to trap enemies, while also weakening enemy movement speed by 20%."

He raised his hand and activated the scrolls, and two illusions instantly appeared above the auction stage--a giant axe split a mountain peak, and a stream of water trapped a fierce tiger. The shocking scene caused everyone below to stand up: "It's actually a dual scroll! And they're for Assault and Control systems! This is amazing!"

"Both combat techniques are being auctioned as a package. Starting price, 500,000 points!"

"600,000 points!" Tang Xiao's voice rang out first. The Clear Sky Hammer in his hand trembled slightly, his eyes filled with fervor--the Clear Sky Sect was famous for its Assault System. The "Mountain Splitting Art" was practically tailor-made for the Clear Sky Hammer, and although the "Sea Controlling Art" was for the Control System, it could compensate for the Clear Sky Sect's lack of control methods.
