Douluo: My Custom Achievement System
Faced with everyone's gaze, Jiang Yi explained, "I found something I was interested in a few days ago, so I went to the auction."
No one pursued the matter further. Afterwards, Dai Yueheng stood up and took the invitation from Lin Yu.
Looking at the invitation, he was somewhat surprised. "It really is a top-tier auction."
"Such top-tier auctions are rare even within the Starlight Auction House; they're organized at most once or twice a year."
"Only people of my father's status are qualified to participate."
"Sending us invitations now is probably an attempt to build a good relationship with the college; there are many valuable things inside that might interest you."
Hearing Dai Yueheng's explanation, Lin Yu turned to the others and said, "After such a long battle, none of us have had a proper chance to relax."
"Why don't we go to the auction tonight? Tomorrow is the elimination round, but we're still pretty confident."
Lin Yu's words immediately excited everyone present, as they were all very interested in the auction.
That night, they changed into ordinary clothes and, led by Dai Yueheng, arrived at the Starlight Auction House.
This time, Qing Ya, dressed in black, waited personally at the door.
"Distinguished guests, please follow me," Qing Ya said gently with a smile.
Following Qing Ya, the group entered the Starlight Auction House along the same path Jiang Yi had taken last time.
The luxurious layout here surprised Huo Yuhao and the others.
They soon passed the auction site where Jiang Yi had last time and arrived at the end of the road.
At the end of the path were two girls in golden dresses. After talking with Qing Ya for a while, one of the girls turned around and placed her hand on the wall.
A strange thing happened: ripples, like water, appeared on the wall.
A pattern of light appeared on the wall, which then opened to the left and right, revealing a new path.
Unlike the magnificent golden passage outside, this passage was pure white, radiating a warm and soft glow.
"This is the passage to Auction Hall One. Only those attending the top-tier auctions are qualified to go inside."
"I owe my entry here to everyone; otherwise, I wouldn't have been able to get in," Qing Ya said with a smile.
As we continued walking, two more girls in long gold dresses came out to lead the way.
They soon arrived at their destination and entered Gate Seven.
Inside Gate 7 is a room of approximately 200 square meters.
The decor was extremely luxurious, with precious woods, jade, and various ornaments that were clearly very expensive.
In the very center of the room, there is a completely crystal-clear white wall.
After Jiang Yi and the others were seated on the sofas, Qing Ya smiled and said, "Let me introduce the rules of this top-level auction to everyone."
A young girl pressed her hand on a white wall, and instantly a soft light shone on the wall, transforming it into a giant screen.
"This is Soul Tool?" Huo Yuhao, the only one present who was learning about Soul Tool, asked in surprise.
"This screen is powered by a special mineral, the power emanating from which is extremely weak and gentle."
"It can only support the use of light guide screens and cannot be used for any other purposes."
These words disappointed Huo Yuhao. He wished this ore could be used for other things.
Soul Tool will no longer be weapons exclusive to Soul Master, but will be usable by everyone.
After the brief interruption, Qing Ya continued, "To ensure privacy, all VIPs participating in the auction will have their own private rooms."
"The bidding and viewing of the auction items will all take place in this room, where I will be on hand to provide detailed explanations of the items to all our VIPs."
Then we waited, and after about five minutes, the entire room was suddenly engulfed in golden light.
On the screen, the image gradually became clearer, and a girl in red appeared on the platform.
The girl looked to be about eighteen or nineteen years old, and her appearance was comparable to Jiang Nannan's.
Isn't that Xu Jiujiu, the one who represented the Star Luo Empire to visit Shrek Academy?
"Distinguished guests, I am your auctioneer, Jiujiu, and it is an honor to host this top-level auction."
"Our auction is now beginning. Please take a look at the first item."
"Tyrant Tiger Soul Refining Blade, Level 8 Melee Soul Tool..."
Dai Yueheng listened attentively to the description of the item, and as expected, he won the bid, just like in the original story.
The subsequent items, identical to those in the original work, were also snapped up by other bidders.
Jiang Yi sat calmly on the sofa. The items he was interested in wouldn't appear at this auction.
Now that Huo Yuhao no longer possesses the Ultimate Ice, even with the appearance of the Ice Jade Scorpion's left arm bone...
He could no longer meet the demanding condition that required the Ultimate Ice to fuse with.
"Will the Ice Empress capture it? After all, only she and the Snow Empress possess the Ultimate Ice attribute, and she certainly won't stand by and watch the Soul Bone of her own people be scattered outside," Jiang Yi wondered.
He felt that given Xu Jiawei's personality, he would definitely use the Soul Bone to win over Snow Empress and Ice Empress, who had no apparent foundation.
Therefore, they will definitely be invited to attend this auction.
Just like in the original novel, this Ice Jade Scorpion Soul Bone was prepared entirely for Huo Yuhao, and was intended to be sold to Huo Yuhao.
Later, when a problem was discovered, the Soul Bone was given to Huo Yuhao as a reward.
At the same time, he was also curious: now that the Snow Empress's Hundred-Thousand-Year Soul Beast Embryo was gone, what would be the last item up for auction?
Time ticked by, and soon the second to last item in the auction was up.
The shape of that thing was displayed on the light guide screen.
Its entire body is emerald green, with an emerald green halo flowing and undulating on it, as if there is emerald green liquid inside.
A faint white mist emanated from its emerald green body, which was covered with particles that resembled ice crystals.
The appearance of this Soul Bone immediately enraged Ice Empress, who was in room number fifteen.
Snow Empress quickly reassured her, saying that if anything went wrong here, it could easily lead to trouble.
After calming down, Ice Empress also thought about how to obtain this Soul Bone.
After all, she and Snow Empress didn't have much money, so they couldn't possibly acquire the Soul Bone through a normal auction.
The auction was quickly suspended.
The auction resumed approximately ten minutes later.
"There was a slight mishap just now. The Ice Jade Scorpion Left Arm Bone will no longer be auctioned. We apologize to all the distinguished guests."
Upon hearing this, Ling Luochеn in the room showed a disappointed expression. Huo Yuhao, on the other hand, was alright, since Sky Dream Ice Silkworm had already explained to him that he couldn't fuse with this Soul Bone.
"Next, I will introduce the last item to our distinguished guests, which is also the most precious item in this auction."
"However, I must warn everyone beforehand that while this item is extremely valuable, it also poses a significant danger."
As soon as he finished speaking, something new appeared in the tray on the screen.
It was a piece of bone that was completely pale, with a warm and smooth feel, and was indestructible. It looked like a right arm bone.
The surface of the bone was covered with fine, blood-red veins, resembling plant roots or blood vessels.
At the center of this right arm bone is a bright green crystal, which is currently spinning continuously.
Jiang Yi's gaze was instantly drawn to the bone, his eyes fixed on the emerald green crystal.
The Life Force it contains is not in the traditional sense, but an extremely violent Life Force, as if it is about to explode at any moment.
"This Soul Bone was acquired by our Starlight Auction House by chance."
"In one country, during the testing of Soul Tool, the power of the Soul Tool was underestimated, resulting in the complete razing of an entire forest to the ground."
"All life inside was killed in an instant, almost losing all vitality."
These words made everyone at the auction tense up.
The only thing capable of destroying an entire forest in an instant is probably a Stationary Soul Cannon, and one of extremely high level at that.
Everyone couldn't help but think of the Sun Moon Empire.
"Damn the Star Luo Empire, they actually tried to smear us!" In one of the auction halls, Xiao Hongchen immediately cursed after realizing what was happening.
The other contestants from the Sun Moon Empire also looked rather grim.
Although the Star Luo Empire didn't explicitly say so, everyone would definitely think of the Illustrious Virtue Hall.
After all, that place has the most powerful Soul Tool in the entire Douluo Continent.
"Just when everyone thought the forest was completely destroyed and nothing would remain..."
"This Soul Bone was actually born in the ruins."
"Even at the very beginning of its creation, this Soul Bone displayed terrifying power; simply getting close would cause it to be burst apart by the raging Life Force."
"Even standing at a distance, Life Force will be continuously drained away; it's terrifying."
This description only fueled Jiang Yi's growing interest.
"However, through other means, those people eventually obtained the Soul Bone."
"However, during the fusion with this Soul Bone, a Soul Douluo was directly burst apart by the rage and violent Life Force contained within it."
"Later, it was fused with by several other people, but without a doubt, they all met the same fate. In the end, this Soul Bone ended up at the Starlight Auction House."
"It is formed from the Life Force of all creatures in the forest, and their anger before they die, hence it is called the Life's Fury."
"Its age is approximately 70,000 years. To fuse with this Soul Bone, one must withstand its Life Force and rage. If one can endure it, one will reap enormous benefits."
"Life's Fury Right Arm Bone, starting price 15 million Gold Soul Coin, minimum increment 50,000 Gold Soul Coin."
After she finished speaking, the entire auction hall fell silent.
After all, she had made her point so clearly; everyone knew that this thing couldn't be easily fused together.
Otherwise, it will be destined to burst.
For the vast majority of people, it's simply too useless.
"Fifteen million Gold Soul Coin."
Chapter 148 Obtaining the Soul Bone, Easily Defeating the Dou Ling
As soon as the voice rang out, everyone in room number seven turned their attention to Jiang Yi.
"Little Yi, do you want to take this Soul Bone?" Lin Yu asked with some worry.
Jiang Nannan said worriedly, "Brother Jiang Yi, even Soul Douluo couldn't successfully fuse with this Soul Bone. It's too dangerous."
The others also advised him to reconsider.
Jiang Yi, however, wore a confident smile, "Don't worry, I'm confident I can fuse with this Soul Bone."
"Auctioneer Qing Ya, please place your bid directly for me."
Qing Ya received Jiang Yi's order and immediately quoted a price for him.
About a minute after he made his offer, no one else placed a bid.
The golden soul-guiding light screen suddenly became dazzling, signifying that he had successfully obtained the Soul Bone.
Xu Jiujiu, he reappeared on the screen with a smile on his face, but he couldn't hide his surprise.
Having learned about the characteristics of the Life's Fury Right Arm Bone, she didn't expect to be able to sell this Soul Bone at this auction.
As many people have thought, it's simply too useless.
It is indeed very powerful, but no one has ever been able to successfully fuse with it, so what's the point of buying it?
To my complete surprise, someone snapped up this item in the very first auction.
"Congratulations to the esteemed guest who successfully bid for the Life's Fury Right Arm Bone. Thank you for your strong support of Starlight Auction House."
"This concludes tonight's premier auction. Thank you to all our distinguished guests for attending."
The golden light of the soul-guided light screen gradually disappeared, turning back into an ordinary white.
Next came the payment. As the chief researcher of the Martial Soul Research Institute, Jiang Yi naturally had control over the Martial Soul Research Institute's funds.
The buying and selling of Bloodline Attribute Ore brings Shrek Academy a huge amount of funds and resources every year.
