Jiang Li stood on the auction stage, tall and upright, carrying himself with extraordinary poise.
His gaze slowly swept across the densely packed crowd below and the representatives of the various factions. The corners of his lips curled slightly into a mysterious smile.
Amid everyone's anticipation and curiosity, he lightly tapped a finger, and a gentle glow spread from his fingertips across the auction stage.
As the light completely faded, an ancient dark-gold scroll emanating a mysterious aura appeared before everyone.
Strange runes flowed across the scroll's surface like nimble sprites, flashing brightly before dimming again.
A particularly unusual wave of Soul Power also faintly radiated from it. It seemed to contain the power of some supreme law, filling everyone who sensed it with reverence.
"Everyone, the next auction item may overturn your understanding of Martial Soul Fusion Skills."
Jiang Li's voice was low and magnetic, echoing through the auction hall like a great bell.
The hall, which had been as noisy and bustling as a marketplace, fell silent in an instant, as though time itself had stopped.
Everyone stared intently at Jiang Li, waiting for his introduction to unveil the mystery behind this auction item.
"This item is called—the Twin Spirit Contract!"
Jiang Li pronounced every word deliberately. The moment his voice fell, the entire hall erupted.
"Twin Spirit Contract? What is that?"
"I've never heard of it. Could it be some kind of Soul Tool?"
"For him to introduce it so solemnly, it must be extraordinary!"
The powerhouses of the major factions exchanged whispers, confusion written across their faces. Only a few experienced and well-informed experts wore grave expressions, as though they had sensed the Twin Spirit Contract's true significance.
Jiang Li looked around the hall. Seeing the confusion and anticipation in everyone's reactions, he nodded slightly and began to explain.
"The Twin Spirit Contract has one most remarkable feature: it can establish a special contract between a Soul Master and a Soul Beast, allowing their Soul Power to resonate and unleashing attacks similar to a Martial Soul Fusion Skill!"
"Of course, that is only one of the Twin Spirit Contract's most remarkable features. In other words, it can also allow two Soul Masters with completely unrelated Martial Souls to ultimately unleash a Martial Soul Fusion Skill."
"For Soul Beasts, it can likewise allow two completely unrelated Soul Beasts to unleash powerful attacks similar to a Martial Soul Fusion Skill."
"What?!"
Those words struck everyone's ears like thunder, and the entire auction house instantly boiled over.
The once-silent hall was like a lake struck by a massive boulder, sending wave after wave surging outward.
Martial Soul Fusion Skills were already among the rarest and most powerful abilities on the Douluo Continent. Normally, only Soul Masters whose Martial Souls possessed an extremely high degree of compatibility could use them.
Moreover, cases of such exceptional compatibility were exceedingly rare. Soul Masters able to find suitable Martial Soul Fusion partners were few and far between.
And now, the Starry Sky Auction House was claiming that Soul Masters and Soul Beasts could also use Martial Soul Fusion Skills?
This simply overturned the common sense of the Soul Master World!
Everyone found it impossible to believe.
"Impossible!"
On Shrek Academy's side, Yan Shaozhe abruptly rose to his feet, his face full of shock. A trace of suspicion flickered in his eyes as he shouted, "The Soul Power of Soul Masters and Soul Beasts is completely different in nature. How could they possibly fuse?"
Mu En frowned deeply, his eyes fixed on the scroll onstage. A trace of gravity showed in his gaze as he said quietly, "If this is true, the value of this contract... may far surpass that of an Immortal Herb!"
As one of the Douluo Continent's foremost academies, Shrek Academy possessed a long history and profound foundations, with extensive research into Martial Soul Fusion Skills.
Their academy had trained countless outstanding Soul Masters, and they possessed a deep understanding of the difficulty and power of Martial Soul Fusion Skills.
That was why they understood even more clearly what it would mean if the Twin Spirit Contract truly worked as Jiang Li claimed, and what kind of transformation it would bring to the entire Douluo Continent.
Elsewhere, Ning Qitian of the Nine Treasure Glazed Tile School also revealed a shocked expression. Light flickered in his eyes as he silently pondered.
If it can truly allow Soul Masters and Soul Beasts to use Martial Soul Fusion Skills, then wouldn't that mean... the boundary between humans and Soul Beasts would be completely shattered!
For the Nine Treasure Glazed Tile School, perhaps we could also use this Twin Spirit Contract to find a new path of development and strengthen the school.
"Hm?"
At that moment, Di Tian, who was seated on the fourth floor and had originally been half-reclining in his chair with little interest, suddenly opened his eyes. Terrifying light burst from his golden vertical pupils like two blazing flames.
His body leaned forward slightly, his eyes locked onto the Twin Spirit Contract onstage, filled with intense shock.
"Bi Ji!"
His voice was low and urgent, brimming with urgency. "This thing... we must obtain it!"
Bi Ji was equally stunned. As the Emerald Swan, her graceful figure appeared especially captivating within the private room. She was already a rare healing-type sovereign among Soul Beasts and held an exalted position within the Soul Beast Clan.
Yet she also knew that Soul Beasts could rarely use abilities similar to Martial Soul Fusion Skills. This had always been one of the Soul Beasts' shortcomings, like a shadow in the darkness that constantly hung over the Soul Beast Clan.
If this contract could truly allow Soul Beasts and Soul Masters to fuse, it would be an unprecedented breakthrough for the Soul Beast Clan.
It might even alter the balance of power between Soul Beasts and humans, allowing the Soul Beast Clan to gain the upper hand in its struggle against humanity.
"Di Tian, if this contract is truly as Jiang Li says, then its value..."
Bi Ji's voice trembled slightly. Her heart was filled with both anticipation and a trace of worry.
The Twin Spirit Contract's ability was simply too heaven-defying, making it hard to believe.
Di Tian gave a cold laugh, a ruthless glint flashing through his eyes. "Whether it is real or fake, secure it first! If it is truly as the Starry Sky Auction House says, then Soul Beasts will no longer need fear Human Soul Masters in the future!"
His voice was filled with ambition and domineering confidence, as though he had already seen a future where humans were ruled by Soul Beasts.
Although everyone was deeply shocked by the Twin Spirit Contract's abilities, after giving it some thought, seeds of doubt also arose in their hearts.
It was simply too astonishing that a single scroll could enable a Martial Soul Fusion Skill.
However, everyone recalled the items previously presented by the Starry Sky Auction House. Every single one had indeed been an incomparably rare treasure.
"Rest assured, every item presented by our Starry Sky Auction House is guaranteed genuine. If there is any fraud, the Starry Sky Auction House will compensate you tenfold based on the item's value."
"The starting price for this Twin Spirit Contract is fifty million Gold Soul Coins. Each bid must increase by no less than five million!"
"The auction begins now!"
The moment Jiang Li's voice fell, bids erupted like a volcano!
