"One hundred million Gold Soul Coin!"
If Poison Douluo Dugu Bo hadn't made a bid, things would have been fine. But the moment he did, all the guests were shocked, including his beloved granddaughter, Dugu Yan, whose martial soul was the Jade Phosphorous Serpent.
With wide eyes, Dugu Yan looked at her grandfather, Dugu Bo Dugu Bo, and cautiously asked, "Grandpa, one hundred million Gold Soul Coin? Do you have that many Gold Soul Coin?"
Faced with the question from his beloved granddaughter, Dugu Yan, Poison Douluo Dugu Bo smiled confidently and answered without hesitation, "Yes! And there are many more!"
After receiving her grandfather Dugu Bo's answer, Dugu Yan felt both curious and puzzled.
Since Grandpa Dugu Bo was wealthy, why did he give up the Golden Sacred Dragon Bloodline in the first place?
Dugu Yan had no idea that just moments ago, Dugu Bo had made a deal with Lin Yuan and acquired a full ten billion Gold Soul Coin!
In other words, Dugu Bo can not only win this auction item, but he can also win the next two items if Dugu Bo wants!
After regaining his senses, Xie Yue, who was sitting on sofa number eight, checked several times to make sure he hadn't made a mistake. Once he realized he had, obvious anger appeared on his face. Looking at Poison Douluo Dugu Bo, Xie Yue quickly spoke, displeased, "Your Majesty, I won't say anything if you deliberately raise the price a little, but isn't raising the price this drastically a bit too much?"
Like Dugu Yan, Xie Yue didn't think Poison Douluo Dugu Bo could come up with 100 million gold soul coins.
Therefore, Xie Yue directly characterized Poison Douluo Dugu Bo's offer as deliberately inflating the price, and regarded Poison Douluo Dugu Bo as intentionally ripping him off.
Poison Douluo Dugu Bo raised the price a bit and ripped off a little, but Xie Yue really didn't say anything. After all, Dugu Bo was a nine-ring titled Douluo, and he had to be respected to some extent and given some face.
But Poison Douluo Dugu Bo immediately offered a full 100 million gold soul coins, which Xie Yue could not tolerate. This was simply intolerable!
"Snort."
Faced with Xie Yue's furious and extremely displeased question, Poison Douluo Dugu Bo's smile visibly widened before he let out a disdainful snort.
Immediately, Poison Douluo Dugu Bo spoke, uttering four words in reply to Xie Yue: "The highest bidder wins!"
Poison Douluo Dugu Bo's words displeased Hu Liena, but unlike her brother Xie Yue who directly confronted Poison Douluo Dugu Bo, Hu Liena shifted her beautiful gaze to Zhu Zhuqing, the auctioneer on the high platform.
Looking at Zhu Zhuqing, Hu Liena spoke up, asking, "Isn't your auction house going to do anything about this deliberate price gouging?"
Zhu Zhuqing truly didn't know how to answer Hu Liena's question. Just as Zhu Zhuqing was about to ask Hu Liena to wait while she went to ask the boss, Lin Yuan, Lin Yuan's voice resounded throughout the entire auction house.
"Your Majesty, the Poison Lord, has well over 100 million Gold Soul Coin on you. He can afford the price he quoted. Since he can afford it, it's not considered deliberate price gouging. After all, the highest bidder always wins. If you feel you've been ripped off, you can withdraw from the auction at any time."
With Lin Yuan's words, Poison Douluo Dugu Bo smiled even more confidently. He met Xie Yue's eyes and said to him, "Please?"
"One hundred and one million gold soul coins!" Xie Yue gritted his teeth and spoke, continuing to bid at the invitation of Poison Douluo Dugu Bo, participating in the auction of the Martial Soul Evolution Pill.
"One hundred and ten million Gold Soul Coin!"
"One hundred and eleven million Gold Soul Coin!"
One hundred and twenty million Gold Soul Coin!
"One hundred and thirty million Gold Soul Coin!"
In no time, the price of the Martial Soul Evolution Pill in this auction reached 130 million gold soul coins. This price was announced by Poison Douluo Dugu Bo, who made the bid with complete nonchalance, as if he didn't care at all.
Xie Yue's state was exactly the opposite of that of Poison Douluo Dugu Bo.
At this moment, Xie Yue's body was taut like a fully drawn string.
Xie Yue's intuition told him that he was very likely to lose this auction.
The Martial Soul Evolution Pill, the item to be auctioned this time, will also fall into the hands of Poison Douluo Dugu Bo!
Clenching his teeth and fists, Xie Yue remained silent for a while before preparing to bid again and try to compete with Poison Douluo Dugu Bo. However, before he could speak, Hu Liena beside him parted her jade lips and said.
"Brother, let's give up on this item. There are still two more items to bid on. There's no need for us to fight to the death with Poisonous Lord over this one."
Xie Yue remained silent for a long while.
Finally, he uttered a single word.
"Good!"
Upon hearing Xie Yue's words, Zhu Zhuqing, who was acting as the auctioneer on the high platform, immediately spoke up to inquire.
"Is there any other guest who wishes to compete with guest number five for this auction item, the Martial Soul Evolution Pill?"
Upon hearing Zhu Zhuqing's words, Poison Douluo Dugu Bo's gaze immediately swept across the arena. He wanted to see if he had any opponents left, and if so, which fool would be it.
The scene was completely silent.
Not a single guest responded to the auctioneer on the platform.
The Martial Soul Evolution Pill was very desirable, and they all desperately wanted it, but unfortunately, they didn't have enough Gold Soul Coin.
Snap!
Soon, the fist-sized auction hammer in Zhu Zhuqing's right hand landed on the gavel.
Immediately, Zhu Zhuqing spoke, announcing each word with a powerful and resonant voice.
"Congratulations to guest number five! You have successfully won the auction for the Martial Soul Evolution Pill!!!"
The Martial Soul Evolution Pill was the second item acquired by Poison Douluo Dugu Bo. After successfully bidding for it, he handed it to his beloved granddaughter, Dugu Yan, and told her to take it in the quiet room on the second floor. He himself stayed on the first floor of the auction hall to continue participating in the next auction.
Dugu Yan did not refuse Dugu Bo's kindness. After accepting the Martial Soul Evolution Pill, she went straight to the quiet room on the second floor.
On sofa number nine, Yu Tianheng had a smile on his face; he was very happy and pleased.
Don't ask why, the answer is that Dugu Yan obtained the Martial Soul Evolution Pill, and her Martial Soul can now evolve!
Yu Tianheng and Dugu Yan?
They're a pair!
The evolution of Dugu Yan's Martial Soul Evolution will only bring him benefits.
It's likely that after Dugu Yan's Martial Soul Evolution, she will be able to become one of the few Nine-Ring Titled Douluo on the Douluo Continent, just like her grandfather, Dugu Bo.
At that time, he would marry her into the Blue Lightning Tyrant Dragon Clan, and he would become Titled Douluo. The Blue Lightning Tyrant Dragon Clan would then be just like the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile Sect, a family with two Douluo!
No, if Grandpa Thunder Douluo Yu Yuanzhen hadn't died of old age back then, the Blue Lightning Tyrant Dragon Clan would have had three Douluo!
As Yu Tianheng was overjoyed, Zhu Zhuqing stepped onto the high platform and went to the next glass cabinet.
"Ladies and gentlemen, please take a look at the next item up for auction!"
After Zhu Zhuqing finished speaking, she lifted the red silk scarf covering the glass cabinet.
The items were thus revealed and brought to the attention of the guests present.
