The Original Novel of "Douluo Continent"?

Li An swallowed with difficulty, his throat bobbing.

"Field Master, this..."

Li An's voice was somewhat dry.

"What's wrong?"

Ning Liu asked in return.

Li An hurriedly waved his hands.

"No! Nothing! Field Master, rest assured! Three days! I guarantee that within three days, the entire Suotuo City—no, the entire Balak Kingdom—will know about our Seven Treasures Auction House!"

A fire ignited in his eyes.

One Hundred Thousand Gold Soul Coins in operating capital!

And that Soft Armor with a starting bid as high as One Hundred Thousand!

Once this news got out, it would definitely cause a sensation!

It was as if he could already see the grand spectacle three days later: the Auction House packed with people, nobles gathered in droves!

And he himself, standing amid such a spectacle as the auctioneer—it would feel incredible!

"Very good. Full of spirit!"

Ning Liu nodded slightly.

"Oh, there's one more thing."

"Your orders, Field Master!"

Li An immediately straightened his back.

"Our Auction House still has too few staff. Hiring people temporarily every time isn't a long-term solution."

Ning Liu tapped the tabletop with his fingers.

"Use the profits to expand our staff and build our own employment system."

"Especially auctioneers."

Ning Liu added.

"Not to criticize you, Manager Li, but you're still too mature. Steady, yes, but not eye-catching enough!"

"You need to find me a young, beautiful female auctioneer who's articulate and knows how to stir up the atmosphere."

Li An froze, feeling somewhat dejected. But then he thought, the Field Master was in the prime of his youth...

At that thought, a knowing smile immediately appeared on Li An's face.

"Yes! The Field Master is wise! I'll handle it right away! I guarantee I'll find you the very best!"

He now admired Ning Liu beyond measure.

Not only did he have courage and vision, he had even considered details like this.

A young and beautiful female auctioneer could attract plenty of attention on her own and liven up the atmosphere.

"Go. In three days, I want to see results."

Ning Liu waved his hand.

"Yes! This subordinate takes his leave!"

Li An respectfully bowed, carefully gathered the Gold Soul Coins from the floor and placed them into his Space Ring, then quickly left the room.

Without a doubt, even his footsteps carried an excited rush.

Ning Liu watched his figure disappear beyond the door before slowly withdrawing his gaze.

Just then, the system's cold notification sounded in his mind.

Ding! Congratulations, Host. The settlement for the first D-Class Auction has been completed.

Overall evaluation: Testing the Waters.

Evaluation reward: Host's Soul Power Level increased by 5 levels, one God-Bestowed Soul Ring.

Ning Liu was delighted.

Testing the Waters?

The system really had high standards!

An auction with over ten thousand in turnover and a net profit of more than a thousand Gold Soul Coins was merely rated "Testing the Waters" by the system?

Still, the reward felt great!

He had only awakened the system a few days ago, yet his Soul Power had already directly increased by fifteen levels!

But... a God-Bestowed Soul Ring?

What was that?

Could it be something that allowed him to obtain a Soul Ring directly?

He had just broken through to level thirty and was worrying about his Third Soul Ring, yet the system had delivered one right to him?

Before he could think further, another notification immediately followed.

Ding! Congratulations, Host. You have achieved the auction accomplishment: first single Auction House turnover exceeding ten thousand!

Accomplishment reward: one God-Bestowed Soul Ring (age random), one original novel of "Douluo Continent."

Next accomplishment: single Auction House turnover exceeding one hundred thousand!

Ning Liu was somewhat stunned when he heard that.

Accomplishments? There was an accomplishment system too?

Another God-Bestowed Soul Ring?

This one had a random age?

And... a novel?

The original novel of "Douluo Continent"?

What the heck was that?

With a thought, he checked the system storage.

Sure enough, two light orbs emitting strange halos lay quietly inside the storage, along with an ordinary-looking book with the words "Douluo Continent" written on its cover.

He first opened the description for the God-Bestowed Soul Ring.

God-Bestowed Soul Ring: A special Soul Ring produced by the system, containing pure Soul Power and Law Power. The Host may absorb it directly without hunting Soul Beasts. The Soul Ring will automatically match the Host's Martial Soul and generate the most compatible Soul Skill.

Note: The age of the God-Bestowed Soul Ring is related to the Host's current Soul Power Level, Martial Soul quality, and endurance during absorption.

At this point, Ning Liu's breathing suddenly quickened!

Just as he had thought—it was a Soul Ring that could be absorbed directly!

And it could automatically match him with the most compatible Soul Skill!

This... this was simply heaven-defying!

The greatest difficulty and danger for Soul Masters in obtaining Soul Rings was hunting Soul Beasts!

Not only did they need to find Soul Beasts of suitable age, they also had to consider whether the Soul Beast's attributes matched their own Martial Souls. The hunting process was even more fraught with danger; one misstep could cost them their lives in the Soul Beast Forest.

Yet this God-Bestowed Soul Ring perfectly solved every problem!

He was now level thirty, precisely in need of his Third Soul Ring!

This luck...

He suppressed the excitement in his heart and looked toward the book named "Douluo Continent."

Original novel of "Douluo Continent": A special book recording the developmental trajectory of a certain world and the growth of its Child of Fortune.

The description was simple, but Ning Liu was rather puzzled.

Child of Fortune, a novel?

What use was that?

From childhood to adulthood, he had spent most of his time cultivating and researching Soul Power techniques. He had little exposure to things like novels and no great interest in them.

In this world, the strong were revered, and strength was everything.

Could reading a novel increase one's strength?

He shook his head and temporarily put the book out of his mind.

His top priority was absorbing the Soul Ring!

He could not wait to find out what his Third Soul Ring would be like!

After all, he was already eighteen. During the days when his Soul Power could not improve, he had also considered ways to break through.

For example, improving his physical fitness.

Several years had passed, and his physical fitness was already no weaker than those Soul Masters in the sect who had absorbed their Third Soul Rings!

How many years would his Third Soul Ring be?

Ning Liu took a deep breath and calmed his surging emotions.

He sat down cross-legged, adjusted himself to his best condition, then connected his consciousness to the system storage.

"System, use one God-Bestowed Soul Ring for me!"

Buzz!

The light orb he had seen earlier appeared before him out of thin air!

The light orb was sacred and pure. Streams of light seemed to slowly revolve within it, radiating vast and refined energy fluctuations.

Come on!

Ning Liu's heart burned with excitement. He immediately circulated his Soul Power, guiding the light orb toward himself.
