Apart from Kong Xuan and Gu Yuena, none of the other people at the Starlight Auction House were first-timers.

However, the last Level 5 auction is quite different from the current Top-Tier auction.

Although both auctions take place at the Starlight Auction House, this time it was Auction Hall No. 1 that was opened.

The group was led by an auctioneer named Yu Han to VIP Room No. 3, which was over 200 square meters in size and decorated in an extremely luxurious manner.

Besides auctioneer Yu Han, there were two maids in the room serving her.

Although they are all ordinary people, those who can become maids at this Starlight Auction House are definitely qualified in terms of figure and appearance.

For example, the maids standing on either side at the very front of the private room right now are all stunningly beautiful, with slender waists and long legs.

Their clothing also accentuated their figures, somewhat resembling the cheongsams from another world in Kong Xuan's memory.

This kind of attire, which isn't exactly revealing, but rather showcases a woman's femininity, is more alluring to many men.

At this moment, the regular members of the Sun Moon Royal Soul Engineer Academy in the private room were all young men full of vigor. After entering the room, their eyes seemed to be out of their control, constantly drifting towards the two maids.

Seeing this, Meng Hongchen couldn't help but look at Kong Xuan beside her, only to see that he was staring straight ahead, completely ignoring the two extremely beautiful maids.

Upon closer inspection, one can see that Kong Xuan's eyes are flickering, as if he is pondering something.

Compared to the lecherous looks of the other senior students, Kong Xuan's reaction greatly pleased Meng Hongchen.

She even felt a surge of pride, secretly admiring her own excellent judgment, since even her older brother hadn't escaped the trend.

Thinking of this, she unconsciously tightened her grip on Kong Xuan's arm with her right hand.

The auction began quickly, and unsurprisingly, the auctioneer for today's top-quality auction was indeed Xu Jiujiu.

When Yu Han introduced the Jiujiu as Princess Star Luo Empire, many people showed surprise.

Kong Xuan secretly shook his head, feeling that it was beneath a princess to be an auctioneer, even though the Starlight Auction House was a royal property.

However, the fact that this "Jiujiu Ruler" has appeared indicates that today's auction is indeed extraordinary.

Even if what he was hoping for didn't ultimately appear, there was definitely some "treasure" involved.

After all, this auction could very well be part of a conspiracy targeting the Sun Moon Empire.

Kong Xuan didn't have any precognitive abilities; Xu Jiawei in the original novel did exactly that.

" Tyrant Tiger Soul Refining Blade, Level 8 Melee Soul Tool."

"The materials are extremely precious, forged from the right arm bone of a ten-thousand-year-old Tyrant Tiger Soul Beast, solidifying its Soul Bone Skill, Tyrant Blade Slash, and simultaneously amplifying the attack power of similar Soul Skill by fifty percent..."

After Xu Jiujiu explanation, the first item of today's top-tier auction was finally presented to the audience.

Those attending the Starlight Auction House's top-tier auction for the first time were all taken aback, thinking to themselves that it truly lived up to its reputation as a top-tier auction house, as the first item to be auctioned was Level 8 Soul Tool!

The appearance of an eighth-level melee Soul Tool at the Star Luo Empire's auction was already an unusual event, after all, the most powerful Soul Engineer in the original Douluo Three Kingdoms were not merely eighth-level.

Ma Sheng's face darkened as he looked at the designs of the Soul Tool on the soul guidance screen in front of him.

The very last sentence, which followed Xu Jiujiu, revealed the origin of this Soul Tool.

"This Tyrant Tiger Soul Refining Blade comes from the Mingde Hall of the Sun Moon Empire. The name Mingde Hall alone is enough to guarantee the quality of this level eight melee Soul Tool!"

"It's not impossible for Seven-Ring Soul Sage to use this sword to challenge an Eight-Ring Soul Douluo, a level above him."

In VIP room number three, the students exchanged glances, clearly understanding why Ma Sheng had such an expression.

As people of the Sun Moon Empire, they naturally knew that Level 8 Soul Tool were not normally allowed to be circulated.

Feeling the imposing aura emanating from Ma Sheng, auctioneer Yu Han couldn't help but shiver.

Although she still wore a professional smile, she was terrified inside.

After all, Ma Sheng is a member of the Mingde Hall. This is a huge slap in the face, and his Life might even be in danger!

Fortunately, Ma Sheng remained very composed, knowing that it had nothing to do with the auctioneer, and therefore did not take his anger out on him.

But he still asked in an icy tone, "I wonder who put this Soul Tool here for auction?"

Yu Han tried her best to remain calm and slowly said, "Please forgive me, esteemed guest, but auction rules prohibit the disclosure of the auctioneer's information."

Ma Sheng did not press further, because he had already expected such an answer.

" Elder Ma, I think we should have a proper talk with Grandpa about this when we get back."

Xiao Hongchen suddenly spoke, his usual carefree demeanor replaced by a rare seriousness.

As the grandson of the head of the Mingde Hall, he was even more aware of the seriousness of the matter.

Ma Sheng, unusually, did not refute Xiao Hongchen, but said fiercely, "It's time for the Hall Master to take action. In recent years, Mingde Hall's Soul Tool have been frequently leaked out; someone must be profiting from them!"

Kong Xuan chuckled to himself, thinking to himself that Mingde Hall was involved in smuggling more than just one or two people, and even if they investigated further, they would probably end up being punished because of the sheer number of people involved.

Just like in the original story, the level-eight melee Soul Tool, the Tyrant Tiger Soul Refining Blade, was ultimately won by Dai Yueheng.

However, he originally only spent 1.56 million, but after Kong Xuan maliciously raised the price twice today, the final transaction price reached 2.18 million.

The second item, twelve level-six Fixed Soul Cannon Shell, also came from the Mingde Hall.

The Fixed Soul Cannon and its shells are also Soul Tool that the Sun Moon Empire has ordered cannot be sold to foreign entities!

Compared to the bustling atmosphere in the other VIP rooms, the atmosphere in VIP Room No. 3 was rather "terrifying".

In any case, Yu Han has made up her mind that, if possible, she will not easily receive Soul Engineer from the Sun Moon Empire in the future!

The next few items were also quite extraordinary; in addition to powerful Soul Tool from the Sun Moon Empire, there were also many Soul Bone.

One of Huo Gua's opportunities in the original novel came from the left arm bone of the Ice Jade Scorpion King, which possessed the " Ice Explosion " divine skill with ice attributes.

After this Soul Bone appeared, Huo Yuhao's Sea of Consciousness became lively, as Ice Empress and Tian Meng both woke up.

"I can sense that the Soul Bone Skill associated with this Soul Bone is the Ice Explosion of my Ice Jade Scorpion Clan!"

" Xiao Yuhao, you absolutely must get this Soul Bone! Ice Explosion is a divine skill that even I covet!"

Ice Empress's voice echoed in Huo Yuhao's Sea of Consciousness. After hearing Ice Empress's description, he was shocked by the power of this " Ice Explosion Technique ".

But how could he possibly acquire this Soul Bone? He has no money!

Moreover, he wasn't the only ice-attribute Soul Master present; Meng Hongchen's Martial Soul also included the ice attribute.

Moreover, Meng Hongchen is currently Kong Xuan's girlfriend, and he has always received a lot of care from Kong Xuan, so he would be embarrassed to compete for this Soul Bone at this moment.

Just as Huo Yuhao hesitated, Kong Xuan whispered a few words to Meng Hongchen and then began to make an offer!

Clearly, Kong Xuan bought this Soul Bone not for Huo Yuhao.

Seeing this, Huo Yuhao breathed a sigh of relief.

Now that Kong Xuan has decided to buy it, it saves him from further hesitation.

At this moment, the Ice Empress's voice rang out again. " Xiao Yuhao, don't rush. Our Ice Jade Scorpion's Soul Bone isn't something just any ice-attribute Soul Master can fuse with. Without Ultimate Ice, it's impossible to fuse successfully."

After spending so much time together, Ice Empress gradually came to accept Huo Yuhao.

To ensure the success of the God Creation Plan, she and Huo Yuhao are now one, so naturally she has to do everything she can to increase Huo Yuhao's foundation.

The Soul Bone of the Ice Jade Scorpion before us is clearly the foundation that has been delivered to us.

Huo Yuhao's expression changed upon hearing this.

Without even listening to what Ice Empress said next, she walked directly to Kong Xuan's side and whispered in his ear, " Brother Xuan, Ice Empress just said that only soul Soul Master with the power of Ultimate Ice can absorb the Soul Bone of their clan."
