"Is it not somewhat impolite, Your Excellency, to stare so intently at a disciple of our sect?"

A mental transmission sounded beside Jiang Heng's ear.

Jiang Heng followed the trail of spiritual power and quickly discovered the other party.

This was a level-96 Title Douluo, his entire body emanating dense Bloodline Power and a heavy, oppressive aura.

In such a state, yet guarding Huo Yuhao, he was obviously from the Body Sect.

At this time, there was only one person in the Body Sect with such strength: the Body Sect's Grand Elder, the Golden Body Douluo, Jin Peng.

His martial soul was the Torso Body Martial Soul, and it had even undergone a Gold-Grade Secondary Awakening. Whether in defense or explosive power, it was among the very best.

Though he was only level 96, once he used a Body Secret Technique, his combat strength was not the slightest bit weaker than that of a level-97 Title Douluo.

He was far beyond what Jiang Heng could handle now.

"The Body Martial Soul in his eyes is connected to his brain. It seems the Body Sect has taken in quite a promising disciple."

Jiang Heng showed no trace of fear in response to the other party's intimidation.

With Di Tian's Reverse Scale, the other party could neither discover his true form nor sense his real aura or cultivation level.

No matter how reckless the Body Sect was, it could not possibly attack an unfathomable Title Douluo just because someone had glanced at its disciple a few extra times.

"Thank you for your praise, Your Excellency. This disciple is our sect master's personal disciple and the next successor of the sect."

The Golden Body Douluo responded, likewise warning Jiang Heng not to set his sights on Huo Yuhao.

He did so because he could not see through the person before him at all, so he naturally had to proceed with caution.

Jiang Heng paid him no further attention and continued watching the match.

Watching this so-called Soul Master Tournament again as a Soul Beast, he found it entirely meaningless.

It was truly boring!

He felt that he should find an opportunity to stir up some turmoil, letting the so-called Child of Destiny live in an age ravaged by war and chaos.

Perhaps nourishment from blood and tears could allow this Child of Destiny to truly grow.

At the very least, it might give him a little more chance to escape the shameless control of the one above.

If it succeeded by some stroke of luck, it might be a good thing for Soul Beasts.

After several matches, Jiang Heng grew more and more bored. He stopped watching and found a place to stay temporarily.

On one hand, he silently refined the Spirit Origin of the Sky Dream Ice Silkworm to increase his spiritual power. On the other, he forged Soul Tools in human form.

The Soul Tools he had forged before had all been crude and rough, relying on brute force and only seeking sturdiness and practicality.

It could not be helped. In beast form, being able to focus on research at all had already been quite good.

As an eighth-rank Soul Engineer, he would have ranked at the bottom among those of the same level in the Douluo Three Kingdoms. In the Sun Moon Empire, he would have been a complete fraud.

Now that he had a human body, he naturally had to walk the path again and strive for perfection.

A few days later, the Star Luo Empire's royal auction began. As a Title Douluo, obtaining a spot to attend was not difficult for Jiang Heng.

Only then did he leave his residence and head to the auction.

The auction's host was Xu Jiujiu, whom he had threatened before.

Because he had taken the Soul-Devouring Fierce Blade, and because Electrolux was not within Huo Yuhao, the related events no longer occurred.

"The next auction item is a miraculous Blood Crystal..."

As Xu Jiujiu brought out the next item, Jiang Heng's eyes, from his seat in the private room, immediately burned with fervor.

Although he did not know what this crystal was, he could clearly feel his own yearning and obsession for it.

This was agitation originating from his bloodline.

"True Dragon blood?"

Staring fixedly at the fist-sized Blood Crystal, Jiang Heng knew he had to find a way to obtain it.

If it truly was as he guessed, then after devouring and refining it, his bloodline would undergo another breakthrough.

Xu Jiujiu described the Blood Crystal in extravagant terms, but since its use could not be determined, no one joined the bidding.

"One hundred thousand Gold Soul Coins!"

At that moment, an aged voice rang out.

At the Star Luo Royal Auction, bidders did not need to announce their bids personally, as attendants would handle it for them. Yet this person made no attempt to conceal his identity.

His words were filled with unquestionable dominance.

He made one hundred thousand Gold Soul Coins sound as imposing as one million.

Anyone with even a little strength could sense that he was a powerful Title Douluo.

Competing with a Title Douluo over an unknown object was truly unwise.

Thus, even those who had wanted to purchase it for research abandoned the thought after hearing that voice.

"Two hundred thousand!"

Jiang Heng did not hesitate in the slightest and directly placed his bid.

If he had merely suspected it at first, then after this person spoke, he was now completely certain.

The speaker was no stranger to him. It was the Body Sect's Grand Elder, the Golden Body Douluo, with whom his spiritual power had crossed not long ago.

There was nothing noteworthy about the Golden Body Douluo coming alone to bid.

But beside him stood a Child of Destiny.

Jiang Heng could not help wondering whether this Blood Crystal was a new opportunity the Plane Consciousness had prepared for the Child of Destiny.

Even if it had no extraordinary use for him, he still wanted to snatch it away and study it first.

"Three hundred thousand Gold Soul Coins!"

The Golden Body Douluo chose to bid again.

Though the Body Sect was poor, it did not lack money.

If other factions had money, did that not mean the Body Sect had money?

They spent it without the slightest heartache.

"One million!"

Jiang Heng did not yield at all.

"Two million!"

The Golden Body Douluo spoke again in a deep voice, now carrying a hint of anger.

Though the Body Sect could conduct business without capital, they truly did not like carrying money when they went out.

This was an auction in the Star Luo Empire. Could they possibly rob it on the spot?

He was not arrogant to that extent.

After placing his bid, the Golden Body Douluo began using his spiritual power to inspect who was competing with him.

Faced with such blatant probing, Jiang Heng did not avoid it in the slightest.

"Three million!"

"Friend from the Body Sect, I ought to give you some face, but this item is of extraordinary use to me. Please forgive this one offense."

As he spoke, Jiang Heng bid once more.

He said this only because he did not want to tear all pretenses with the other party completely and invite trouble.

Of course, if the other party truly intended to act like bandits, he was not afraid.

Leaving aside a direct battle, merely by relying on Di Tian's Reverse Scale to conceal himself, he could leave the auction, find a place to hide, and the other party would never find him.

"Elder Jin, forget it."

"I only felt that this crystal was unusual. Even if we really bought it, we still would not know what it does."

Just as the Golden Body Douluo was about to bid again, Huo Yuhao beside him spoke.
