Hope for Mu En's Recovery

Xuan Zi abruptly turned his head to look at Mu En beside him, whose face was pale and breath weak. His voice carried a trace of barely restrained excitement and anticipation.

He asked eagerly, "Mu En, should we ask the Starry Sky Auction House to help with the old injuries in your body?"

Xuan Zi had suddenly made this suggestion because Mu En's worrying condition had immediately come to mind.

He knew very well that Mu En's injuries had accumulated over many years. After being delayed for so long, they had become extraordinarily severe, reaching the point of being beyond cure.

Over the years, Mu En had disregarded his own safety for Shrek Academy, traveling everywhere and fighting powerful enemies time and again, leaving him with these hidden injuries.

Even when Old Zhuang personally intervened, he had been utterly unable to ease Mu En's condition.

They could only watch helplessly as his health worsened day by day.

They had originally held little hope for Mu En's injuries.

Yet they had never expected that a Limit Douluo Expert possessing the Ultimate Life Attribute would appear at the Starry Sky Auction House today.

This sudden turn of events allowed Xuan Zi to glimpse a ray of hope.

He did not know just how terrifying the woman's healing power was, but a powerful premonition arose within him.

As long as this woman was willing to help, the injuries that had plagued Mu En for so many years would surely be completely healed.

Once Mu En recovered and returned to his peak condition, Shrek Academy would once again have a Limit Douluo Expert standing at the pinnacle of Douluo Continent.

At that time, Shrek Academy's position on Douluo Continent would be further consolidated and elevated.

"We can discuss this later. Whether the Starry Sky Auction House is an enemy or an ally remains unknown."

Mu En frowned slightly and spoke in a low, grave voice.

A deep light flickered in his eyes, revealing the composure and caution of someone seasoned by the world.

They could not recklessly reveal their intentions because of a momentary impulse.

Nor could they blindly trust an unfamiliar force that had only just appeared.

"Do not forget that this Starry Sky Auction House may be even less simple than we imagined."

Mu En paused before continuing.

Before they fully understood the other party's background, they had to proceed cautiously, lest they bring unnecessary trouble upon Shrek Academy.

After hearing Mu En's words, Xuan Zi nodded slightly, a flicker of helplessness and disappointment passing through his eyes.

He understood that Mu En's concerns were justified.

Although he was deeply worried about Mu En's injuries and longed to find a way to heal him as soon as possible,

he had no choice but to temporarily suppress the impulse in his heart and wait for a more suitable opportunity.

However, Xuan Zi had not completely abandoned hope.

He secretly resolved that, no matter the cost, he would ask the Starry Sky Auction House to help treat Mu En's injuries.

"A Limit Douluo Expert with the Ultimate Life Attribute? That's impossible."

Long Xiaoyao and Ye Xishui were likewise utterly shocked and unable to comprehend what they had seen.

The two exchanged a glance, their eyes filled with confusion and bewilderment.

They understood perfectly how much arduous effort and time it took to rely on one's own powerful Martial Soul to cultivate to the realm of a Limit Douluo Expert.

They had both undergone countless trials of life and death, spending decades or even centuries before painstakingly attaining their current strength.

They also knew that for a special Martial Soul such as the Life Attribute, cultivating to the level of Limit Douluo was even more difficult, like ascending to the heavens.

Cultivating a Life Attribute Martial Soul required not only exceptional talent, but also immensely abundant resources and a special cultivation environment.

Not to mention that the woman before them possessed the Ultimate Life Attribute.

Moreover, as they looked at her, they saw that she had a youthful face, skin as fair as jade, and clear, bright eyes, with not the slightest trace left by time.

This made it even harder for them to imagine how the Starry Sky Auction House had accomplished such a thing.

It had actually cultivated two Limit Douluo Experts with Ultimate Attributes in succession.

This thought made the two even more interested in the person behind the Starry Sky Auction House.

They quietly pondered what sort of secrets and power the Starry Sky Auction House hid behind it.

Was it a mysterious organization?

Or an peerless expert who had lived in seclusion for many years?

"The first auction item is the corpse of a twenty-thousand-year Netherworld Direwolf Soul Beast."

Ling Yun's crisp, pleasant voice rang out once more, breaking the silence in the hall.

At that moment, Ling Yun gently raised her right hand and waved it gracefully through the air.

A massive Soul Beast suddenly appeared out of thin air atop the auction table.

This Netherworld Direwolf Soul Beast had a long, agile body covered in grayish-purple fur. Every strand of fur shimmered with a mysterious, profound light.

Even though it had lost its life, a powerful aura of a Ten Thousand Year Soul Beast still faintly emanated from its body, allowing everyone to sense the strength and majesty it had possessed in life.

"This Netherworld Direwolf has not been dead for very long. The starting bid is fifty thousand Gold Soul Coins."

The corners of Ling Yun's lips lifted slightly into a faint smile. In a gentle yet clear voice, she briefly introduced some information about the Netherworld Direwolf.

Then, she slowly extended her right hand, grasped the exquisite Auction Hammer on the auction platform, and lightly struck the table, producing a crisp sound.

The auction officially began.

In truth, Jiang Li had not originally intended to auction off this Netherworld Direwolf's corpse.

In his view, while such an item might be fairly valuable to some weaker Soul Masters,

to others who were powerful and well-informed, it was not anything particularly rare.

But for him, keeping this Soul Beast corpse served no practical purpose whatsoever.

It could neither improve his strength nor serve as a precious cultivation resource.

Only those who needed materials from Soul Beast corpses to refine pills or Soul Tools would have any use for it.

After some hesitation, Jiang Li ultimately decided to put it up for auction and see whether it could fetch a good price.

Jiang Li did not particularly care how much it would sell for.

After all, he had obtained this Soul Beast corpse for free. Even if it failed to sell for a high price, he would not suffer any loss.

"Fifty thousand Gold Soul Coins."

Not long after Ling Yun announced the start of the auction, a middle-aged Soul Master seated near the front of the hall was the first to make a bid.

He rose to his feet, lifted his chin slightly, and wore a confident smile. His eyes revealed his determination to obtain the Netherworld Direwolf's corpse.
