The auctioneer, Qing Ya, presented one item after another on the auction stage.
After a fierce bidding war among the Shrek Academy Inner Court students, these items were all successfully sold at good prices.
Yu Daoyun casually bid on many things for Tang Ya, and without hesitation, he snatched up anything useful to himself.
These rounds of auction also let the Shrek Academy Inner Court students know just how wealthy Yu Daoyun was.
The Blue Lightning Tyrant Dragon Family's financial resources were truly immense.
In contrast, Beibei remained silent, lost in thought.
Perhaps his beloved girl had changed her mind, or perhaps he was discouraged by Yu Daoyun; in any case, he was silent.
Just then, Qing Ya brought out another porcelain bottle and said, "Distinguished guests, allow me to introduce this item. Its value is extremely high, but it is only effective for Soul Masters with beast-type Martial Souls."
Ma Xiaotao impatiently exclaimed, "Hurry up and introduce it, we're all busy."
She was somewhat impatient because her Evil Fire was starting to stir, and she wanted to find a place to vent her frustration.
The auctioneer Qing Ya smiled slightly, holding up the porcelain bottle. "This item is ten drops of True Dragon Blood. Our Starlight Auction House's Princess purchased it from a merchant of the Sun Moon Empire, spending a full forty million Gold Soul Coins. Furthermore, our auction house guarantees that this is absolutely True Dragon Blood."
"Legend has it that the Sun Moon Empire once hunted a Silver Dragon and obtained a large quantity of Silver Dragon scales, which naturally explains the origin of this blood."
"Another point is that whoever wins this item must agree to one condition set by our Princess. Therefore, this item is only open for auction to Soul Masters with top-tier Martial Souls, Inner Court teachers, or capable Titled Douluo."
"The starting bid for this item is forty million Gold Soul Coins."
Simply put, this was a test of wealth, to gauge if the potential of one's Martial Soul met the requirements of the Starlight Auction House.
The price was secondary; their true intention was to recruit talent.
Thus, Xu Jiujiu, the hidden manipulator behind the Starlight Auction House, set her sights on Shrek Academy, seeking a suitable investor.
As the Dragon Blood was revealed, the teachers and Inner Court students who were still observing immediately erupted in excitement.
True Dragon Blood!
It was True Dragon Blood, something that was priceless and unavailable on the market. How did the Starlight Auction House obtain it, and why didn't they use it themselves first?
After all, such a thing was extremely rare.
But soon, no one bothered to question its origin; they only thought about bidding to obtain it. After all, it was a rare sight, something that would move even a Titled Douluo.
Among the Inner Court students, Ma Xiaotao's eyes instantly turned red.
If she consumed True Dragon Blood, could it strengthen the Fire Phoenix bloodline within her and expel the damned Evil Fire?
But she didn't have that much money!
Therefore, Ma Xiaotao shifted her gaze to the teacher, Yan Shaozhe.
Yan Shaozhe had naturally come to this auction to join the fun, but he hadn't expected to encounter such a treasure as Dragon Blood.
Yan Shaozhe shook his head and said, "It's useless. This thing won't help you at all; on the contrary, it will cause you to explode and die. Teacher will help you find other ways."
Ma Xiaotao could only look away with a look of regret.
Dragon Blood was not destined for her.
On the other side, Yu Daoyun gazed at the porcelain bottle, his eyes also becoming fervent.
Dragon Blood would help him break his seal, but the price of forty million was indeed a bit high, equivalent to a set of hundred-thousand-year Soul Rings and a Soul Bone.
The card Mu En gave him should be enough to afford it.
Soon, the auction began.
Dai Yueheng was the first to stand up and shout, "I bid forty-three million. I need this Dragon Blood."
As the eldest son of his family, he desperately needed such a thing.
The Blue Lightning Tyrant Dragon Martial Soul evolved once every ten thousand years. Why couldn't their Evil-Eyed White Tiger Martial Soul do the same? It was because they lacked the assistance of something like Dragon Blood.
If it was truly effective, he would definitely be able to evolve his Martial Soul.
However, in the next second, Beibei stood up from his seat and shouted, "Forty-five million Gold Soul Coins!"
After speaking, his gaze was fixed intently on the Dragon Blood.
As long as he had this bottle of Dragon Blood, perhaps he could completely sublimate his Blue Lightning Tyrant Dragon bloodline and become Mu En's Holy Dragon of Light Martial Soul.
At that time, Yu Daoyun would no longer be his opponent.
On stage, the auctioneer Qing Ya smiled slightly and asked, "Are there any higher bids?"
Yu Daoyun raised his paddle and shouted, "Fifty million!"
As this price was announced, the students participating in the auction collectively gasped and turned their attention to Yu Daoyun.
He could actually produce fifty million Gold Soul Coins; this guy was truly rich!
Beibei's expression immediately sank.
Beibei felt his blood pressure surge, believing that Yu Daoyun was deliberately preventing him from obtaining the Dragon Blood.
Thus, Beibei gritted his teeth and raised his bid again.
Xu Sanshi, standing beside him, was dumbfounded, looking at Beibei in disbelief.
Didn't this guy just say he was broke? Could it all have been an act?
Life is like a play, it all depends on your acting skills.
"Seventy million!"
At this moment, Yu Daoyun once again uttered a number that silenced everyone present, completely crushing Dai Yueheng, who had been bidding just moments before.
Seventy million Gold Soul Coins was an astronomical price, something no one could easily produce.
Yet, Yu Daoyun had produced it.
Even the auctioneer Qing Ya on stage was shocked.
It was him, that genius youth with the Golden Dragon Martial Soul.
Not far away, Yan Shaozhe, who had been watching the show, suddenly felt something was wrong and inwardly thought, "This is bad."
This kid is bidding so casually; it's probably Mu En's instruction.
No matter how much they bid, the money would ultimately come from the Martial Soul Department, which was clearly just handing money over to the Star Luo Empire.
Thus, when Beibei was about to bid again, Yan Shaozhe stopped him.
Beibei asked in confusion, "Dean, why aren't you letting me bid? I need this item."
Yan Shaozhe replied calmly, "This item is not suitable for you."
So, was it suitable for Yu Daoyun?
Beibei felt very wronged and wanted to retort to the Dean but swallowed his words.
In the end, this item was won by Yu Daoyun for seventy million.
After the auction ended, Yu Daoyun rushed to the back hall of the auction house to complete the transaction, wanting to get the Dragon Blood as soon as possible and then go into seclusion to cultivate and break the seal of the Golden Dragon King.
Tang Ya, as expected, did not interact with Beibei and waited outside to return to the academy with Yu Daoyun.
At this moment, backstage at the auction house.
Auctioneer Qing Ya handed a porcelain bottle to Yu Daoyun, admonishing, "Take it carefully. The power of Dragon Blood is extremely violent."
"I understand."
Yu Daoyun nodded and continued, "What was the condition your auction house mentioned?"
Just then, a girl wearing a Gilded Crown emerged from a private booth in the auction hall. It was Princess Xu Jiujiu of the Star Luo Empire.
Xu Jiujiu said charmingly, "Is this the disciple of the Dragon God Douluo? Truly extraordinary bearing. I see the potential of a Limit Douluo in you!"
Yu Daoyun's mouth twitched.
Those words were not to be spoken lightly. The last person who said something similar was already three meters tall in the grave.
Yu Daoyun stated directly, "Princess, please state your condition directly. If I can fulfill it, or if it's something I can achieve in the future, I will agree."
"You don't need to now. We'll talk about it when you've grown stronger," Xu Jiujiu replied.
Upon hearing this, Yu Daoyun took the Dragon Blood and turned to leave.
The future would be dealt with in the future; he would take the benefits now.
In place, Qing Ya and Xu Jiujiu looked at each other.
Qing Ya asked in confusion, "Your Highness, we traveled all this way to hold an auction just to give him Dragon Blood. Is it really worth it?"
