Zhu Zhuyun's words left Dai Weisi utterly bewildered.
Dai Weisi frowned and asked Zhu Zhuyun in a low voice, "Zhu Yun, what do you mean, not necessarily? You don't think we can win this auction item, do you? That's a divine weapon. Compared with the other items, we clearly have even less chance of getting it."
When Dai Weisi finished, Zhu Zhuyun's lips curled upward, and she smiled. Making no attempt to hide her smile, she said to Dai Weisi, "Dai Weisi, have you forgotten? Your younger brother Dai Mubai still hasn't paid the full amount for an item he won at the Lin Auction House. We can simply pay the rest for him and take the item. If I remember correctly, the item your brother won is also a perfect fit for us: the Dark Demon Evil God Tiger Bloodline, which can evolve both of our Martial Souls."
Dai Weisi's eyes lit up at Zhu Zhuyun's words.
That was right!
The two of them could pay the balance for Dai Mubai and take the item he had won seven days ago!
You ask where Dai Mubai had gone?
Dai Weisi and Zhu Zhuyun had locked him up.
After leaving the Lin Auction House in Suotuo City, Heaven Dou Empire, Dai Mubai had immediately returned to the Star Luo Empire.
As soon as he returned to the Star Luo Empire, the impatient Dai Mubai had begun frantically raising money, drawing the attention of his competitors, Dai Weisi and Zhu Zhuyun. After investigating him, they had learned why he was raising money and secretly sent people to kidnap and imprison him. That was why Dai Mubai had not come to pay Lin Yuan the remaining balance.
Dai Mubai would never have imagined that the item he had struggled so hard to win seven days ago would fall into the hands of his dear elder brother Dai Weisi and dear sister-in-law Zhu Zhuyun today.
No, Dai Weisi and Zhu Zhuyun might not necessarily be Dai Mubai's dear elder brother and sister-in-law, but Dai Mubai was definitely their "dear little brother."
Seeing the sparkle in Dai Weisi's eyes, Zhu Zhuyun hurriedly reminded him, "Don't get so excited. It won't do to draw too much attention. Once the auction is over, we'll find Boss Lin, pay the balance, and take the item away to use it. We must be careful. Remember, plans succeed through secrecy!"
Dai Weisi said nothing.
He nodded firmly at Zhu Zhuyun in response.
"Thirty-one million Gold Soul Coins!"
"Thirty-three million Gold Soul Coins!"
"Thirty-eight million Gold Soul Coins!"
The price of the divine Dragon-Slaying Saber continued to climb.
Standing on the stage, Lin Yuan was blooming with delight inside.
He had a feeling that the divine Dragon-Slaying Saber would definitely be the most expensive item ever sold in the two auctions, bar none!
A quiet room on the second floor of the Lin Auction House.
Ning Fengzhi opened his eyes as he sat cross-legged.
He circulated the Soul Power in his body and released his Martial Soul.
A dazzling pagoda the size of an arm appeared in the palm of Ning Fengzhi's right hand.
The pagoda had changed visibly from before. At the sight, Ning Fengzhi's heartbeat and breathing quickened of their own accord, beyond his control. As both sped up, he carefully counted the pagoda's levels. "One, two, three, four, five, six, seven, eight! Nine!"
The moment he reached nine, Ning Fengzhi felt a weight lift from his shoulders. He immediately shouted aloud in the quiet room, stirred and excited.
"It evolved!"
"My Martial Soul really evolved!"
"The Nine Treasure Glazed Tile Pagoda!"
"I can become a Titled Douluo now!"
"One day, I, Ning Fengzhi, will be the strongest support Soul Master in the history of the Douluo Continent, bar none!"
After shouting his fill in delight, Ning Fengzhi began to consider whom he should marry if he took a wife in the future.
Ning Fengzhi's previous wife was already gone.
If he wanted offspring whose Martial Soul was the Nine Treasure Glazed Tile Pagoda, he needed to marry again and have children.
Ning Fengzhi stepped out of the quiet room as he pondered.
Sanye Plain, outside Suotuo City.
The battle between Angel Douluo Qian Daoliu and Sword Douluo Chen Xin had reached its final stage.
"Seventh Soul Skill, Angel True Body!"
A Ten Thousand Year Soul Ring beside Qian Daoliu flashed, and he transformed into a giant angel.
After transforming, Qian Daoliu did not hesitate. He unleashed the second strongest of his three great sword moves.
"Six Thousand Li!"
With a single swing, sword Qi crashed toward Sword Douluo Chen Xin like the Milky Way pouring down from the heavens.
After carefully sensing the power of that strike, Sword Douluo Chen Xin's instincts told him that even someone as strong as a Peak Douluo would have only one path against it: death. Only a Super Douluo whose Soul Power Level had reached Level 98 could block it, and would be left grievously injured in the process. He, however, was a Level 97 Peak Douluo.
Without hesitation, Sword Douluo Chen Xin accelerated the circulation of Soul Power within his body and activated the Four-Word Full-Set Battle Armor he wore, the Black God Set, with all his might. Its defensive power was second only to divine defensive weapons on the present-day Douluo Continent.
At the same time, Sword Douluo Chen Xin thrust out his sword.
This time, the strike came not from Sword Douluo Chen Xin's First Martial Soul, the Seven Kill Sword, but from his Second Martial Soul, the Green Lotus Sword.
"Sixth Soul Skill, Kill One Man in Ten Steps, Leave No Trace for a Thousand Li!"
One sword thrust became ten, and the ten merged into one, its point aimed at the Six Thousand Li unleashed by Angel Douluo Qian Daoliu.
Boom!!!
After the clash of swords, the victor was decided.
Angel Douluo Qian Daoliu had the upper hand.
Sword Douluo Chen Xin suffered a narrow defeat.
Where had Sword Douluo Chen Xin fallen short?
He did not have much Soul Power left.
If he had possessed enough Soul Power, then with the boost from the Four-Word Full-Set Battle Armor, the Black God Set, he could definitely have defeated Angel Douluo Qian Daoliu.
The first-floor auction hall of the Lin Auction House.
"Seventy-five million Gold Soul Coins."
Sea God Douluo Bo Saixi made her final bid.
If any of the other guests present bid higher than her this time, she would have no choice but to give up on the auction item, the divine Dragon-Slaying Saber.
"Seventy-six million Gold Soul Coins!" After Sea God Douluo Bo Saixi, Di Tian, whose true form was the Golden-Eyed Black Dragon King, spoke up and made a higher bid.
Seeing this, Sea God Douluo Bo Saixi had no choice but to give up and stop bidding.
Sea God Douluo Bo Saixi no longer looked at the divine Dragon-Slaying Saber in the glass case. Her beautiful eyes fixed on Lin Yuan.
Once the auction was over, she would speak with Lin Yuan and ask whether Clear Sky Douluo Tang Chen, whom he had invited, had failed to come.
Bo Saixi also wanted to ask where Lin Yuan had sent Clear Sky Douluo Tang Chen's invitation. She wanted to go find him.
"Seventy-eight million Gold Soul Coins!" Bibi Dong continued bidding. She had not yet given up on the Dragon-Slaying Saber.
"Seventy-nine million Gold Soul Coins!" The expressionless Di Tian continued bidding. He would not give up on the divine Dragon-Slaying Saber. There was no helping it; the threat it posed to him was simply far too great. Unless he had absolutely no choice, he would never let it fall into the hands of a human Soul Master.
Just then, Zhu Zhuqing's voice rang out at the entrance to the Lin Auction House. "Hello, ma'am. Without an invitation, you cannot enter."
Someone had arrived without an invitation.
It was a woman.
Zhu Zhuqing had stopped her.
"Human, you dare stop me?" the woman asked Zhu Zhuyun coldly.
In an instant, Zhu Zhuqing understood that the woman before her was not human, but a Soul Beast.
