"Yes, we're the ones who developed it!"

Kong Xuan repeated it again.

When Kong Xuan allowed Kong Ling to use this move in the competition, he had already prepared his explanation.

He had actually considered using Kong Deming as a shield, but ultimately gave up, since the old man hadn't even fully understood his own Twin Martial Souls.

Moreover, they hadn't mentioned this Self Martial Soul Fusion Skill to Kong Deming beforehand.

For some lies that are easy to expose, lying is easy, but once you tell one lie, you need to tell countless more to cover it up, which is counterproductive.

Meeting Ren Jun's disbelieving gaze, Kong Xuan explained, " Ling'er's two Martial Soul have a very high compatibility. Not long after awakening her Martial Soul and beginning her cultivation, she sensed a trend of fusion between the two Martial Soul."

"Although the Sun Moon Empire lacks experience in cultivating Twin Martial Souls, it does possess Martial Soul Fusion Skill."

"So after some research, we started experimenting gradually, and to our surprise, we succeeded on our first try!"

Ren Jun looked directly into Kong Xuan's eyes without flinching, seemingly confirming that he wasn't lying.

Although Kong Xuan was not old, he always gave him a sense of composure beyond his years.

Moreover, Kong Xuan does indeed possess extraordinary talent in cultivation. If he were to have a bit of luck, he might actually be able to develop Self Martial Soul Fusion Skill, just as he claims.

Ren Jun thought for a moment, then his expression turned serious. "The research on Martial Soul, especially Martial Soul Fusion Skill, cannot tolerate the slightest carelessness; a single mistake could shatter the Martial Soul!"

"You can't just figure things out on your own anymore. Even if you have an idea you want to try, you should at least have a teacher or mentor by your side."

Ren Jun offered a few words of advice, fearing that Kong Xuan might overestimate his talent and inadvertently cause a major disaster.

Kong Xuan honestly replied, "Don't worry, teacher, this kind of thing won't happen again."

Ren Jun, who had originally intended to offer a few more words, remained silent when he saw that Kong Xuan did not refute him.

"Good to know. Don't stay here too long; let Kong Ling get some rest first."

Ren Jun had just reached the door when he suddenly remembered something and turned back, saying, "Oh, right, there's an auction at the academy's auction house tonight. You can go check it out if you're interested."

The National Soul Master Class Competition brings together virtually all the high-level Soul Engineer academies from across the country.

Although each academy sent a small number of people, the teachers leading the teams were all formidable in their commitment to developing Soul Master.

This auction also serves as an opportunity for everyone to exchange information and resources.

Of course, the most important thing is to be able to make a fortune from this opportunity!

Kong Xuan hadn't originally planned to go to the auction, but Xu Wei was very interested.

For someone of humble origins like him, auctions were something he had only heard of before, but had never actually attended one.

He knew he couldn't afford anything; he just wanted to join in the fun and broaden his horizons.

After being repeatedly called " Brother Xuan," Kong Xuan finally had no choice but to agree to Xu Wei's request and go to the auction with him that night.

The auction house of the Sun Moon Royal Soul Engineer Academy, although belonging to the academy, is not only open to teachers and students, but also to all Soul Engineer in Mingdu.

Therefore, the auction house is not located within the academy, but rather several miles away, closer to the center of Mingdu.

Basically, the monthly "Soul Guide Auction Day" attracts powerful individuals, merchants, and even hidden forces from all over the country.

As night deepened, the Soul Guidance Lamp on the streets of Mingdu flowed like a galaxy, truly giving the place the appearance of a city that never sleeps.

A magnificent, silver-white building, still radiating a cold metallic luster in the night, its surface adorned with soul-guiding patterns that flickered like breaths.

This is the auction hall of the Sun Moon Royal Soul Engineer Academy. Although today is not the fixed auction day of the month, judging from the flow of people at the entrance, there are quite a few people participating in the auction.

After showing their student IDs, Kong Xuan and Xu Wei were able to enter the auction hall without any problems.

The auction hall had a very large interior space, with a circular display platform in the center and tiered seating surrounding it.

The second floor houses VIP rooms, with specially treated glass that prevents outsiders from seeing inside.

Kong Xuan and Xu Wei chose seats towards the back. The lights dimmed, and a spotlight shone on the stage. The auctioneer walked onto the stage with a smile and began tonight's auction.

Hearing the constant snapping of cameras around him, Kong Xuan remained calm and composed in his chair, his expression unchanged.

Although he had never attended such an auction before, he was familiar with the general process and situation, and didn't find it particularly strange.

But Xu Wei craned his neck and looked around, seemingly filled with curiosity about everything there.

"Good heavens! Someone actually spent 100,000 Gold Soul Coin to buy a piece of rare metal! That's 100,000!"

Xu Wei leaned close to Kong Xuan's ear, his tone revealing undisguised surprise.

The prices of these auctioned items have essentially reshaped Xu Wei's understanding of the market.

Born into a commoner family, he had never seen so many Gold Soul Coin in his entire life.

Kong Xuan said calmly, "For some people, Gold Soul Coin Gold Soul Coin are extremely difficult to obtain, while for others, they are just a number."

In this world, Kong Xuan naturally doesn't have to worry about money; his sigh reflects his experiences from his previous life.

Xu Wei's eyes held a hint of envy. "Sigh! I wish I were rich too, so I could buy whatever I wanted."

" Soul Engineer earn a lot of money, do you want to switch to the Soul Tool Department?"

Kong Xuan glanced at him and actually saw a hint of attraction on Xu Wei's face.

However, Xu Wei's eyes immediately hardened. " Brother Xuan, don't tempt me. The academy's teachers helped me awaken my Martial Soul and let me enroll for free because they value my Martial Soul and want me to develop as Soul Master."

Although Xu Wei is still young, he knows very well what he should do.

He already has what he never dared to dream of before, so he won't be greedy and pursue more.

Kong Xuan smiled upon hearing this, "It's good that you know. Once you become powerful, making money will be easy for you, so keep working hard to improve yourself."

"Um!"

Xu Wei nodded and drank a bowl of chicken soup from Kong Xuan.

The auction proceeded as planned, but Xu Wei's initial excitement had worn off.

However, as his gaze casually swept across the room, he spotted several familiar figures.

Xu Wei pointed to a direction on the right and said, " Brother Xuan, isn't that Shui Ling and the others?"

"This auction was originally prepared by teachers and students from various academies for the Soul Master Competition. What's so strange about them being here?"

With Kong Xuan's eyesight, he had already spotted Shui Ling and the others.

He saw quite a few of the students who participated in the previous competition, not just them.

Two hours later, the gilded doors of the auction house slowly closed, shutting out the hustle and bustle inside.

Kong Xuan and Xu Wei walked down the steps side by side. The cool night breeze dispelled the stuffiness in the auction hall.

"This trip has certainly broadened my horizons," Xu Wei stretched, but there was a hint of disappointment in his voice. "But I didn't see anything particularly remarkable!"

Kong Xuan, with his hands in his pockets, chuckled lightly, "This is just a hastily organized auction; the highest-level Soul Tool are only level seven."

"Forget it, I'm not interested in even higher-level auctions right now." Xu Wei pouted. "I don't know anything about Soul Tool, so even if you gave me one, I wouldn't know how to use it."

"There should be a course on the use of Soul Tool this semester. We're majoring in Soul Master, but we also need to know how to use Soul Tool."

Xu Wei shook his head. "Even if I knew how to use it, I couldn't afford it."

"Um?"

Xu Wei turned around, and Kong Xuan, who had been walking alongside him, suddenly stopped.

" Brother Xuan, why are you stopping?"

Kong Xuan stood there, his expression suddenly changed, and his brows furrowed.

He looked at his right wrist, where a silk thread Entanglement it, a thread that ordinary people could not see.
