Under the cover of night, the Liuli Auction House was brightly lit.
Inside, the seats were already completely full.
The lights suddenly went out, plunging the entire venue into a brief period of darkness.
The next moment, a soft white beam of light descended from the sky and struck the center of the auction stage precisely.
Within the beam of light, the figure of the host, DouDou, appeared, her wings billowing in the breeze, like an angel descending to earth.
Good evening, distinguished guests.
"Welcome to the Glazed Heaven, tonight's grand auction."
...
Inside a private room.
Ju Douluo Yueguan stood solemnly to one side.
His gaze fell on Pope Bibidon.
"Your Holiness the Pope."
Yue Guan bowed, his tone tinged with anxiety.
"The strength of Shrek Academy and Star Luo Team 2 in this Advanced Soul Master Academy Elite Tournament has increased too strangely."
"Especially that Tang San, he's ruthless and his progress is incredibly fast, he's not like a teenager at all."
"Moreover, the Liuli team is stronger on paper!"
"Our golden generation, though exceptionally talented, will likely..."
"I'm afraid even the top three in this competition will be hard-pressed to make it in."
Bibi Dong nodded.
"Elder Ju, are you saying that if any rare treasures useful to them appear at tonight's auction, you'd like me to allow them to bid on them?"
Yue Guan was taken aback.
"Your Majesty's decision is not to be made by your own authority, but... the glory of the Golden Generation is a matter of honor for the Spirit Hall."
"face?"
Bibi Dong let out a soft laugh.
"Forget it!"
"It's just a few soul bones!"
"Besides, you should know where I'm focusing my energy right now."
"I've done enough for them! If they don't win the championship, that's their problem!"
"What I care about more is Ning Liu, of course."
Bibi Dong sighed.
"Of the teams we sent overseas to explore, only one in ten survived, and they didn't bring back a single piece of useful intelligence."
Ning Liu's movements haven't stopped!
"After making that promise last time, should the Spirit Hall completely side with Ning Liu? My mind is in turmoil!"
"Let's see what's at the auction first. We'll go see him afterwards!"
...
On the auction stage, DouDou clapped her hands crisply.
"The All-Continent Advanced Soul Master Academy Elite Tournament is in full swing, captivating everyone's attention!"
"I'm sure many of you here were worried for your favorite teams, right?"
"Therefore, our first item tonight is an absolute treasure that young geniuses who crave power and victory should not miss!"
"A genius's treasure? Could it be another one of those pills that can enhance soul power?"
"That's possible!"
Her words instantly piqued everyone's curiosity.
A maid carried a tray covered with a red velvet cloth and walked gracefully onto the stage.
DouDou's slender hands pressed against the velvet cloth.
Want to help your team achieve a better ranking?
Do you want your disciples, your descendants, to get a head start on the path of cultivation?
"Then, please take a look!"
She suddenly ripped off the red cloth.
In an instant, a burst of purple light erupted.
On the tray, a hundred thumb-sized, translucent purple crystals were stacked into a small pyramid, lying there quietly.
Within each crystal, pure energy flows slowly, radiating soul power fluctuations.
"This is……"
Someone in the audience gasped in surprise.
DouDou's voice rang out at just the right moment.
"This item is called Soul Power Crystal, a secret treasure provided by the sect master of my Glazed Heaven Sect!"
"And here are a full one hundred purple soul power crystals!"
"It contains the purest soul power, which can be directly absorbed to quickly increase soul power level or instantly restore soul power consumed in battle!"
"For Soul Masters at the Soul King level and below, the effect of increasing Soul Power is very obvious!"
"Even if you break through from level 49 to level 50, you only need 11!"
As soon as he finished speaking, the entire auction hall seemed to have been hit by a bomb.
"Soul Power Crystals?! There are actually such things?!"
"My God! According to the instructions, one hundred of these items could directly elevate a level 41 Soul Master to a Soul King!"
"This...this must be an enormous undertaking!"
Discussing, exclamations, and gasps of surprise rose and fell.
A burly man in the crowd suddenly slapped his thigh and said.
"I see!"
"No wonder the members of the Liuli Team are increasing their soul power at such an unreasonable speed!"
His shout seemed to awaken everyone.
"Yes! And the Shrek Team too!"
"That Tang San! That Dai Mubai! They were just Soul Masters and Soul Sects before, and now, in such a short time, they've already become Soul Kings!"
"So that's what they were using! They must have absorbed this soul power crystal!"
"No wonder! No wonder we didn't see any members of the Star Luo Empire's royal family when we entered from the outside!"
"They didn't even come to tonight's auction; they must have already eaten their fill!"
"My God, this Crystal Sky is terrifying! They can actually sell something like this?"
Various speculations have led to the conclusion that the secret behind the sudden surge in strength of Shrek Academy and the Glazed Sky Team lies directly in this Soul Power Crystal.
...
The atmosphere inside the Spirit Hall's private room was deathly silent.
Yue Guan looked somewhat speechless.
The answer to the question he couldn't understand was suddenly revealed to him, leaving him feeling powerless!
Bibi Dong said softly.
"Just as I expected."
"What a Ning Liu!"
"However, why is he openly auctioning off such a strategic-level cultivation resource?"
"Is he announcing his strength and resources to the entire continent?"
"Your Majesty...then we..."
Yue Guan's voice was somewhat hoarse.
"Let's see how things go first. If we have the chance, we'll take a picture."
...
On stage, DouDou was very satisfied with the enthusiastic response from the audience.
She gently raised her hand.
"One hundred purple soul power crystals will be auctioned off as a single unit!"
"Starting price..."
She deliberately dragged out the tone.
"Ten thousand gold soul coins!"
"Each bid increase must be at least one hundred gold soul coins!"
"The auction now begins!"
The last word fell.
Almost simultaneously, dozens of voices erupted from all over the venue.
"Twenty thousand! I'll offer twenty thousand!"
"Twenty-five thousand!"
"I'll offer 30,000 gold soul coins!"
"Thirty-five thousand! Our Elephant Armor Sect wants this!"
"fifty thousand!"
Prices skyrocketed in an instant.
