A Beautiful and Tragic Love Story

On the auction stage, Dongfang Yue'er took in everyone's expressions.

She smiled faintly and said to the crowd, "Yes, that's right. The second auction item in this auction is a complete set of Three-Word Battle Armor."

"Everyone knows that after tens of thousands of years of development, the Soul Master system has long since become different from that of ancient times."

"In today's world, Mechas have replaced a considerable number of Soul Masters and become an important force in maintaining peace. However, the highest-level power is often not Mechas, but Battle Armor!"

"Battle Armor is a great, epoch-making creation. It was precisely because of the emergence of Battle Armor that humanity first gained the power to overpower soul beasts, allowing us to stand at the pinnacle of this world."

"Battle Armor is divided into One-Word Battle Armor, Two-Word Battle Armor, Three-Word Battle Armor, and Four-Word Battle Armor."

"For the vast majority of people, One-Word Battle Armor is already the highest-grade Battle Armor they can ever see. As for the Two-Word Battle Armor, Three-Word Battle Armor, and legendary Four-Word Battle Armor above it, they are even more unheard of."

"A five-ring Soul King can use One-Word Battle Armor. Two-Word Battle Armor can be used by six-ring Soul Emperors or seven-ring Soul Masters. Three-Word Battle Armor can be used by eight-ring Soul Douluos and nine-ring Title Douluos."

"Four-Word Battle Armor is the legendary armor of the gods. Only super experts at the level of a Limit Douluo can bring out its power, and it rarely appears before the public."

"Therefore, Three-Word Battle Armor is the highest-grade Battle Armor available on the market."

"As for this set of Three-Word Battle Armor, it has a beautiful and tragic love story behind it, involving two powerful Title Douluos. Would everyone like to hear it?"

At that moment, Dongfang Yue'er smiled faintly and looked at the crowd. She did not immediately begin telling the story, instead leaving the choice to the guests attending this auction.

Of course, she herself very much wanted to tell this story, because it was connected to her—or rather, to her aunt.

As soon as Dongfang Yue'er finished speaking, some of the male guests immediately chimed in.

"Since it's a story recommended by Miss Yue'er, of course we'd be happy to hear it."

"That's right. Since Miss Yue'er praises this story so highly, it must be an excellent one. Haha, who would have thought that we'd get to hear Miss Yue'er tell a story at an auction today? What an honor!"

"Miss Yue'er, please tell it quickly. We will absolutely be your most loyal listeners."

Among the guests, those who had come specifically for Dongfang Yue'er all wore smiles as radiant as blooming chrysanthemums.

Judging by their posture, they looked as though they wished they could crawl before Dongfang Yue'er and fervently lick her toes.

Hearing this, Dongfang Yue'er immediately smiled and said, "All right. Since everyone wants to hear it, I'll tell you this story."

"The user of this set of Three-Word Battle Armor, called Moon in the Sea, was a Title Douluo in his thirties. He came from the northwest of the Federation, from a city so small it could scarcely be called a city."

"Although this senior broke through to the Title Douluo realm at only thirty-six and could be called a peerless genius, his talent had not actually been strong in his childhood. It could even be said that it was pitifully weak."

"His innate talent was only level three, and his martial soul was merely a faint wisp of moonlight, without the slightest offensive power."

"When he was six, the childhood sweetheart he had grown up with awakened an incomparably powerful martial soul: Blazing Sun. She possessed Innate Full Soul Power, and her talent was exceptionally powerful!"

"When the results of their martial soul awakenings came out, one had powerful Innate Full Soul Power, while the other had miserable innate level-three Soul Power. Between them lay oceans and mountains."

"After the awakening results came out, the girl's father made her leave the boy, saying that the boy's talent was too poor. They would belong to two different worlds in the future, so how could they possibly be together?"

"The little girl was brought by her parents to the Federation's capital, Ming Capital. There, she received the finest education, and the people around her were all the most outstanding people in the world."

"Yet that little girl from the northwest still deeply missed the little boy back in her hometown, often weeping at night."

"After the little girl was taken away by her father, the boy searched for a long time but could not find her."

"Until one day, someone told him that as long as he could raise his cultivation to the Title Douluo level, he could go to Ming Capital and find that little girl."

"The boy believed that person's words. From then on, he carried out all kinds of high-intensity training with extreme diligence every day."

"The boy knew deeply that he possessed only innate level-one Soul Power and that his talent was terribly frail. Only by giving everything he had could he have even the slightest chance of becoming an expert at the Title Douluo level."

"He often ventured deep into all kinds of dangerous secret realms, disregarding life and death. Because of this, he nearly lost his life countless times."

"But fortunately, the outcome was good. Thirty years later, that boy relied on his own strength to successfully break through to the Title Douluo realm and became a top-tier expert."

"At the moment he became a Title Douluo, he knew that he had the ability to marry the girl from his childhood."

"Thirty years—thirty cycles of spring, summer, autumn, and winter. Every time, he had endured by thinking of that girl. Without her, he might have long since died in some secret realm."

"Having become a Title Douluo, and one only thirty-six years old at that, he had a bright future ahead of him. Countless powerful organizations invited him to join them."

"But that boy refused. He said that he had lived his entire life for that girl, and before marrying her, he would not join any faction."

"Later, the boy brought his most precious gift to the girl's home. He hoped that the girl he had loved most as a child could marry him and become his wife."

"Yet when the boy arrived at the girl's home, he did not find her. Instead, he saw a wedding photograph of the girl he had deeply loved in childhood and an unfamiliar young man!"

"He stood there as if struck by lightning. Over the years, in order to break through to the Title Douluo realm as soon as possible, he had lived every day in dire hardship."

"He had no time to search for that girl, because all his time had to be used for cultivation and raising his Soul Power."

"During his cultivation, he had naturally heard stories about that girl. The girl he loved was indeed a favored daughter of heaven, often winning championships in all kinds of competitions and becoming famous throughout Ming Capital, even throughout the entire Federation."

"He listened to stories about that girl while cultivating, and he felt incomparably happy."

"But no matter what, he never could have imagined that after finally reaching the Title Douluo realm, that girl had married someone else!"

"He could not bear it no matter what. That night, he went completely mad, and all reason vanished. That night, he became a madman."

"However, the sliver of reason he retained told him that he absolutely could not harm innocent people. To vent his madness, he found the Holy Spirit Cult."

"In his eyes, the people of the Holy Spirit Cult were all utterly depraved scum. He felt no guilt whatsoever in killing them."

"With the powerful strength of a Title Douluo, he single-handedly uprooted three Holy Spirit Cult strongholds, greatly damaging the Holy Spirit Cult's strength."

"But the Holy Spirit Cult was an evil force that had endured for ten thousand years without being destroyed. How could an organization that had existed for so long be so simple?"

"When that boy was uprooting the Holy Spirit Cult's fifth stronghold, he suffered an unprecedented attack from the Holy Spirit Cult. A total of ten Title Douluo-level experts launched a fierce assault on him at once."

"At that time, the boy had only just entered the Title Douluo realm. How could he possibly be a match for ten Title Douluos from the Holy Spirit Cult?"

"In that battle, the boy was on the brink of death. He truly lacked the strength to fight so many Holy Spirit Cult experts, but there was no regret in his heart. In his eyes, having killed so many people from the Holy Spirit Cult had already made this life worthwhile."

"His only hope was that after his death, he could be reincarnated and become that girl's husband in his next life. For this wish, he was willing to give everything he had."

"Yet just as the boy had fallen into complete despair, that girl suddenly appeared."

"That devoted girl, now a powerful Title Douluo, came before the boy and blocked those Holy Spirit Cult experts for him."
