The Titan Giant Ape overwhelmed Zhao Wuji, Flender, and Chao Tianxiang, then carried off the unconscious Xiao Wu into the depths of the Star Dou Great Forest. Dragon Duke Meng Shu arrived to find the group scattered and injured, with Meng Yiran missing.

• Chao Tianxiang's ten-thousand-year soul skill failed to hurt the Titan Giant Ape, so Zhao Wuji ordered everyone to retreat.

• Yu Xiaogang discovered that Tang San and Xiao Wu had both reached the Soul Elder realm and learned that Tang San had obtained an External Soul Bone.
• Flender invited Yu Xiaogang to the Seven Treasures Auction House and promised Zhao Wuji a bonus for his work.
• Xiao Wu declined to go with Tang San, then secretly set off for the auction house carrying items from Da Ming and Er Ming.
• Rumors spread that the Heaven Dou Empire's royal family had come to see the auction's final item, possibly because of the Hidden Arrow concealed weapon.
• Li An reported that newly submitted items might change the auction list, but Ning Liu kept his three planned items unchanged.
• Ning Liu told Sword Douluo Chen Xin and Xu Jiushi to watch for trouble as the auction was about to begin.

At the Seven Treasures Auction House, Li An announced a permanent reduction in auction commissions and a gold-coin giveaway before Doudou introduced the first item of the night. She revealed that the enormous egg brought onto the stage was a dragon egg, leaving the audience stunned.

• Li An announced that auction commissions had dropped from ten percent to three percent and that each attendee could collect one hundred gold soul coins after the auction.
• Ning Rongrong admired the auction house’s wealth and wondered whether Ning Liu preferred Doudou’s appearance.
• Doudou teased the audience with the possibility of a Ten Thousand Year Soul Bone, then clarified that it was not the first item.
• Four Soul King experts carried a covered tray onto the stage, and Doudou unveiled a gigantic patterned egg.
• Doudou identified the egg as a dragon egg, shocking the auction hall.

The auction house revealed that the dragon egg was an Earth Fire Rock Dragon egg with weak vitality and uncertain chances of hatching, prompting bidders to cautiously compete for it. Prince Xue Xing, the Peerless Dragon Snake Family, and other factions considered its value as the auction continued.

• The auction hall erupted when Doudou revealed that the featured item was a dragon egg, while Prince Xue Xing asked Dugu Bo to assess it and Ning Rongrong learned it had been consigned at the last minute.
• Doudou explained that the egg belonged to an Earth Fire Rock Dragon, a powerful dragon-blooded species capable of becoming a formidable guardian if raised well.
• Dragon Duke Meng Shu and Snake Dowager Chao Tianxiang decided the egg could benefit their family, especially because their herbs could help nourish it.
• Doudou disclosed that the egg had missed its hatching period and lacked vitality, though it was not dead, then opened bidding at ten thousand Gold Soul Coins.
• Several bidders cautiously raised the price, including people associated with the Strength Clan and Star Like Chamber of Commerce, while Xiao Wu complained that they were bidding too little.

Xiao Wu bid 50,000 Gold Soul Coins on the failing Earth Fire Rock Dragon Egg, then Prince Xue Xing and Dragon Duke Meng Shu competed until Xue Xing won it for 100,000. Ning Liu received a thousandfold return from the sale: a perfect Fire Element True Dragon Egg.

• Xiao Wu bid 50,000 Gold Soul Coins on the Earth Fire Rock Dragon Egg after no one else raised the price.
• Prince Xue Xing bid 51,000 Gold Soul Coins, relieving Xiao Wu of the fear that she would win the egg herself.
• Dragon Duke Meng Shu challenged Xue Xing's bid, and the two competed until Meng Shu withdrew at 100,000 Gold Soul Coins.
• Prince Xue Xing won the Earth Fire Rock Dragon Egg for 100,000 Gold Soul Coins.
• Ning Liu received a thousandfold return from the auction and obtained a perfect Fire Element True Dragon Egg.

Ning Liu learned that his system had given him a perfect-quality True Dragon Egg and considered how to raise it. At the auction, Dugu Bo recognized a Ten Thousand Year soul bone as a lost Dugu family heirloom, and Prince Xue Xing bid two hundred thousand Gold Soul Coins for it.

• Ning Liu learned the True Dragon Egg would hatch in forty-nine days, could fight at the level of a Hundred Year Soul Beast as a hatchling, and needed spiritual energy or precious nourishment.
• Doudou revealed a twelve-thousand-year Crimson Tail Golden Ring Snake Left Arm Bone with a poison-ring soul skill, and bidding opened at one hundred thousand Gold Soul Coins.
• Dragon Duke and Snake Granny regretted that the poison-attribute soul bone did not suit their family.
• Dugu Bo told Prince Xue Xing that the soul bone matched one his great-grandfather had owned before disappearing, making it a lost Dugu family relic.
• Prince Xue Xing offered to cover the cost, then bid two hundred thousand Gold Soul Coins for the soul bone.

Xiao Wu’s Ten Thousand Year Crimson Tail Golden Ring Snake Left Arm Bone sparked a fierce bidding war between Tang San and Prince Xue Xing. The price reached two million Gold Soul Coins, leaving the auction hall wondering whether Dugu Bo had come in person.

• Xiao Wu recognized the soul bone she had consigned for auction as a relic from a soul master Da Ming had killed, then secretly raised the bid to fan the competition.
• Yu Xiaogang argued that the soul bone’s poison-based, domain-like skill would suit Tang San, while Flender worried that he could not afford the rising price.
• Prince Xue Xing bid five hundred thousand Gold Soul Coins, but Tang San countered with one million and revealed that his hidden weapons had earned him the money.
• Prince Xue Xing angrily raised the bid to two million Gold Soul Coins, and the crowd speculated that Dugu Bo was bidding for the Poison Attribute Soul Bone.

Tang San yielded the Crimson Tail Golden Ring Snake Left Arm Bone to Dugu Bo in exchange for a private discussion about poison, while Ning Liu received a three-hundred-thousand-year soul bone through the system. The auction then introduced an ancient scroll as its next mysterious item.

• Xiao Wu celebrated Tang San's fortune and planned to spend a million Gold Soul Coins on something he wanted.
• Tang San raised the bid to three million, prompting Prince Xue Xing to grow furious before Dugu Bo stopped him and bid three million and ten thousand.
• Dugu Bo identified himself and asked Tang San to yield the soul bone, while Yu Xiaogang and Flender urged Tang San not to provoke a Titled Douluo.
• Tang San agreed to yield the soul bone in return for a private meeting with Dugu Bo to discuss poison, and Dugu Bo won the auction.
• Ning Liu received the three-hundred-thousand-year Rending Sky Sabre-toothed Tiger Left Arm Bone through a Thousandfold Return and decided to give it to Chen Xin.
• Doudou presented an ancient scroll as the auction's next item, saying it might lead to a lost treasure or a powerful expert's inheritance.

Doudou presented an ancient treasure map and verified clues as an auction item, prompting Flender to explain that he had failed to decipher the map he and Yu Xiaogang found years ago. The bidding began at one million gold soul coins as the Peerless Dragon Snake Family saw a chance to strengthen its ancestral grounds and family.

• Doudou described how ancient ruins could hold lost treasures, Soul Tools, and legacies, then introduced the scroll as a treasure map with verified clues from its consignor.
• Yu Xiaogang recognized the scroll as one he and Flender had found in a cave near the Star Dou Great Forest, and Flender explained his years of fruitless searches before deciding to sell it for academy resources.
• Yu Xiaogang accepted Flender's decision, recalling their old discovery and becoming melancholy as he remembered a woman from the past.
• Dragon Duke Meng Shu and Snake Dowager Chao Tianxiang recognized the potential value of another ancient sect ruin and hoped it could elevate the Peerless Dragon Snake Family.
• Doudou opened bidding at one hundred thousand gold soul coins, and an unidentified bidder immediately offered one million.

Silas and the Dragon Duke couple competed for an ancient Treasure Map, while Xiao Wu unexpectedly entered the bidding with a tiny increase. The auction ended with Silas stunned by Xiao Wu’s bizarre bid of one million twenty-two thousand and one thousand Gold Soul Coins.

• Silas bid one million Gold Soul Coins for the Treasure Map, hoping to win favor with Pope Bibi Dong by presenting it to Spirit Hall.
• Prince Xue Xing dismissed the map as a dangerous gamble, while Dugu Bo considered bidding because the ruins reminded him of his medicinal garden, then decided against it.
• Dragon Duke Meng Shu and Snake Dowager Chao Tianxiang bid one million and ten thousand Gold Soul Coins, and Silas countered with one million and twenty thousand.
• Xiao Wu decided the map sounded fun and pressed the Bidding Device from Private Room No. 8.
• Doudou announced Xiao Wu’s bid of one million twenty-two thousand and one thousand Gold Soul Coins, leaving Silas baffled.

Silas bid one million five hundred thousand gold soul coins for the treasure map, but Xiao Wu won it with a final bid of one thousand more. The auction triggered a ten-thousandfold return for Ning Liu, who received a map to the Nine-Colored Goddess's ruins and realized its inheritance might suit his Nine Treasures Glazed Pagoda.

• Silas raised his bid to one million five hundred thousand gold soul coins, forcing Dragon Duke Meng Shu to give up.
• Xiao Wu bid one million five hundred thousand and one thousand gold soul coins, winning the treasure map after Silas ran out of funds.
• The auction triggered the special event of Tang San and Xiao Wu temporarily parting, and Ning Liu received a ten-thousandfold return: the Nine-Colored Goddess Ruins Map.
• The system explained that the Nine-Colored Goddess and the God of Food had sacrificed themselves to save Douluo Continent and later ascended to the God Realm.
• Ning Liu realized the Nine-Colored Goddess's ruins might offer an inheritance compatible with his and Rongrong's Nine Treasures Glazed Pagoda martial souls.

Ning Liu restrained himself from pursuing a god’s treasure and watched the auction continue as Prince Xue Xing bought Zhuge Crossbows for the Heaven Dou Empire. The sale triggered a special event involving war between the Heaven Dou and Star Luo Empires, and Ning Liu received a ten-thousandfold return of Tang Sect hidden-weapon plans.

• Ning Liu suppressed his urge to seek the god’s relic, while Silas vowed to track down whoever bought the Treasure Map.
• Doudou auctioned a Zhuge Crossbow sample and production service for one hundred units, and Prince Xue Xing won them for two million gold soul coins.
• Prince Xue Xing anticipated using the crossbows against the Star Luo Empire, and Dugu Bo agreed to protect the Heaven Dou imperial family if needed.
• Ning Liu’s system announced the “Beacon Fire Sorrow” event, predicting that war would force Dai Mubai and Zhu Zhuqing to leave Shrek Academy and separate from Tang San and their friends.
• The system granted Ning Liu a ten-thousandfold return: complete diagrams and a detailed production manual for Tang Sect mechanical hidden weapons.

Ning Liu discovered that the Tang Sect diagrams contained powerful mechanical hidden weapons and considered rebuilding the vanished sect. The auction then introduced its fifth item, a bottle of Water of Life, whose vitality surpassed the previously auctioned Jade Spring by more than a hundred times.

• Ning Liu studied the Tang Sect diagrams and was stunned by the power of the Buddha's Fury Tang Lotus, Rain of Pear Blossoms Needle, and Peacock Plume.
• Ning Liu asked Sword Douluo about Tang Sect, and Sword Douluo said he had never heard of it.
• Ning Liu claimed he had found the diagrams in an ancient ruin, and Sword Douluo accepted that Tang Sect might have been an ancient sect.
• Ning Liu considered rebuilding Tang Sect and decided to discuss it with Ning Fengzhi when he returned.
• Doudou unveiled the Water of Life, and the auction hall erupted when she said it contained more than a hundred times the life force of Jade Spring.

The Water of Life’s price soared as Prince Xue Xing tried to secure it for the Heaven Dou Imperial Family, but other bidders challenged his authority. Before the auction could conclude, a black-cloaked man appeared onstage and snatched the bottle.

• Xiao Wu dismissed the Water of Life as ordinary lake water from the Lake of Life and decided she could sell more if she needed money.
• Bidders drove the Water of Life’s price up to three million gold soul coins.
• Prince Xue Xing bid five million gold soul coins and warned others against competing with him.
• An unidentified bidder defied Xue Xing, and other bidders continued raising the price.
• A black-cloaked man suddenly landed on the auction stage and used an invisible force to pull the Water of Life from the maid’s tray into his hand.

A Black-Robed Man seized the Water of Life at the Seven Treasures Auction House and refused to surrender, drawing the response of its powerful guard team. He defeated Wang Wei and more than a dozen Soul Kings with one punch, while Xiao Wu recognized his aura as the presence that had watched her in Nuoding City.

• Xiao Wu felt the Black-Robed Man's aura and recognized it as the presence that had watched her in Nuoding City.
• Wang Wei led the Seven Treasures Auction House guards in surrounding the Black-Robed Man and demanding that he surrender the Water of Life.
• Ning Liu declined Sword Douluo Chen Xin's offer to intervene, reasoning that the Black-Robed Man might have a powerful motive or backing.
• Xue Xing considered recruiting the Black-Robed Man to serve the Heaven Dou Imperial Family.
• Wang Wei and the guards attacked, but the Black-Robed Man broke their defenses and sent them all flying with a single punch.

Tang Hao seized the Water of Life at the auction, and the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile Sect’s Sword Douluo Chen Xin and Xu Jiushi tried to stop him. After overpowering their attacks, Tang Hao escaped with the bottle, leaving the auction house in stunned silence.

• Poison Douluo recognized the Black-Robed Man’s power and warned Prince Xue Xing that he could not stop him from taking the Water of Life.
• The Black-Robed Man took the bottle and headed for the exit, but Sword Douluo Chen Xin appeared with Xu Jiushi to block him.
• The Black-Robed Man revealed himself as Tang Hao and summoned his Clear Sky Hammer and nine soul rings.
• Tang Hao used Ring Explosion to break Chen Xin’s attack and strike Xu Jiushi back.
• Tang Hao escaped the auction house with the Water of Life, leaving the venue devastated and silent.
