Offensive Soul Tools: Desert Eagle, Double-Barreled Rifle

Soon, the auction finally reached its grand finale.

A maidservant brought up a tray covered in red cloth. The host lifted the fabric and introduced it with excitement: "This is the final item of our auction, an offensive Soul Tool: the Desert Eagle!"

Clatter—

The venue erupted in excitement. Someone asked, "Is this thing really as good as you say? Can it kill a powerhouse at the Soul Saint level?"

"Hahahaha! Naturally! Is there anyone who would like to come up and test it?"

"I will!"

A burly man walked onto the stage and laughed, "My Martial Soul is a Scaled Porcupine, a level 66 defense-type Battle Soul Emperor!"

The host hesitated for a moment, then shook his head: "You won't do. If you get hurt, our auction house cannot take the responsibility!"

The Battle Soul Emperor waved his hand: "Eh—if you can hurt me, then that's my bad luck! But by obstructing me like this, are you admitting this offensive Soul Tool isn't as powerful as you claim?"

"This... this..."

As the host hesitated, Dugu Bo pushed open the window of his private room and spoke: "Aim for the arm. Just don't hit any vital parts."

"Understood!"

Seeing Dugu Bo present, the host suddenly felt confident. He picked up the Desert Eagle, injected his soul power, and warned: "Prepare your defenses! If you get injured, we won't be held responsible!"

"Don't worry, bring it on!"

Bang!

A bullet composed of soul power shot out from the barrel of the Desert Eagle, piercing directly through the Battle Soul Emperor's defenses. The bullet lost none of its momentum and quickly tore through the man's shoulder, sending blood spraying into the air!

"Ah!"

The defense-type Battle Soul Emperor let out a miserable shriek and clutched his shoulder.

Hiss—

Seeing the power and speed of the Desert Eagle—it had happened in the blink of an eye! Everyone gasped, and the only sound left in the entire auction hall was the wailing of the Battle Soul Emperor.

In the private room of the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile Sect, Ning Fengzhi stood up with a jolt, his face full of shock.

"To think there is truly an offensive Soul Tool with such power! Even I couldn't track its attack speed! If this offensive Soul Tool could be mass-produced... alas, the craftsmanship for Soul Tools has long been lost! It is truly a pity! Otherwise, our Seven Treasure Glazed Tile Sect would surely reach even greater heights!"

Sword Douluo's pupils also dilated, and he said with uncertainty: "Fengzhi, we must secure this Soul Tool! With it, even when Old Bone and I are not by your side, you will have the power to protect yourself!"

"Mm, we must buy it!" Ning Fengzhi's eyes burned with intensity.

On the other side.

In the corner of the hall, Yu Xiaogang, Tang San, and Flender gripped the railing, their faces filled with excitement.

Flender exclaimed: "To think there is such a powerful Soul Tool; how is this possible? With it... doesn't that mean one would have the protection of a Soul Saint-level powerhouse at all times?"

Yu Xiaogang's knuckles turned white from the force of his grip, and he screamed frantically in his heart: If I had studied the creation of Soul Tools instead of Martial Soul theory back then, if I could have created such a powerful offensive Soul Tool, who would have dared to look down on me?

Flender asked: "Little San, can your hidden weapons achieve this kind of power?"

Tang San's expression turned grim, and he whispered: "Some can... but they require many precious materials to craft. Furthermore, my hidden weapons do not require soul power to function! If one runs out of soul power, this Soul Tool called the Desert Eagle would be nothing more than scrap metal."

Yu Xiaogang snapped out of his regret and chimed in: "You are right! Little San, you must continue to work hard on your hidden weapons! The manufacturing techniques for Soul Tools have long been buried in history, but your hidden weapons can be continuously produced. In the future, your hidden weapons will surely dominate the world!"

"Yes, Teacher, I will definitely succeed!"

Yu Xiaogang turned his head and said to Flender: "Old Flender, what about the funding?"

Flender: "..."

Meanwhile.

Dugu Yan asked: "Ozka, why is this Soul Tool called the Desert Eagle?"

"Ah? I haven't thought about it~ The Desert Eagle was something Emperor Qingtian made casually while researching Soul Tools, and the name was chosen by him as well... I guess Emperor Qingtian must have seen an eagle in the desert."

"Oh, I see! Emperor Qingtian is truly amazing! It feels like he knows how to do everything."

"Of course! Emperor Qingtian is the Lord of our Immortal Court!"

At this moment.

The host had the wounded Battle Soul Emperor taken away and announced loudly: "Alright, the power of the Soul Tool has been tested! Now, let the auction begin. Starting bid: 5 million Gold Soul Coins! Each increment must be no less than 10,000 Gold Soul Coins!"

"6 million!"

"6.01 million Gold Soul Coins!"

"7 million!"

"7.01 million Gold Soul Coins!"

"8 million!"

"..."

A Soul Tool equivalent to a Soul Saint powerhouse climbed to over ten million in just a few bids, and the pace of the bidding slowly began to taper off.

Ten million Gold Soul Coins was roughly the value of a 50,000-year limb soul bone.

"11.5 million Gold Soul Coins going once, 11.5 million Gold Soul Coins going twice..."

"12 million!"

"13 million!"

Suddenly, another bid was called out. It turned out that the price stalling at 11.5 million was merely those penniless nobles bidding; the ones calling out now were the true wealthy elite of this continent.

In the end.

The Desert Eagle was purchased by Ning Fengzhi for 32 million Gold Soul Coins.

32 million Gold Soul Coins—equivalent to the value of a top-tier 50,000-year torso bone!

The first auction item concluded, and a maid brought out an even larger tray. The host introduced it: "This Soul Tool is named: Double-Barreled Rifle! It has a longer range, with an effective reach of up to two hundred meters! At close range, it can kill a defensive-type Soul Saint in a single shot! It can even heavily injure a Soul Douluo! Its power and value far exceed that of the Desert Eagle! Starting bid: 10 million Gold Soul Coins! Each increment must be no less than 10,000 Gold Soul Coins!"

"Hiss~"

The crowd erupted into another wave of commotion.

Ning Fengzhi's pupils trembled violently as he exclaimed, "These two offensive Soul Tools share the same ingenious design! They must absolutely be the work of the same person... This... could it be that someone has mastered the method of crafting Soul Tools?"

The more he thought about it, the more Ning Fengzhi's heart raced.

Beside him, Sword Douluo shook his head and said, "The craftsmanship of Soul Tools was lost long ago; it is impossible for the technology to manufacture Soul Saint-level Soul Tools to suddenly reappear. If it existed, this person would have been famous across the continent long ago!"

"Hmm, that makes sense."

Ning Fengzhi nodded thoughtfully, calming his agitated emotions, and asked in a low voice, "Uncle Jian, tell me, should we continue to bid for this 'Double-Barreled Rifle' Soul Tool? Our funds... if we want to win the 'Double-Barreled Rifle', I'm afraid... we won't have enough for the cultivation technique later!"

The trade-off left Ning Fengzhi hesitant.

Sword Douluo pondered for a moment before saying, "The 'Double-Barreled Rifle' Soul Tool is right before our eyes, while that cultivation technique... is merely hearsay, its authenticity impossible to verify!"

"I understand!" Ning Fengzhi nodded, pushed open the window of the private box, and shouted, "30 million Gold Soul Coins!"
