Ning Liu remained seated, a smile playing on her lips.
This Azure Wave Divine Light Shield was one of the most precious spoils of war he seized from the Xuan Shui Sect's treasury when he led his men to destroy it.
He still remembers that the Xuan Shui Sect's protective mountain formation used this object as its core.
If it weren't for the fact that only one Title Douluo and a few Soul Douluos remained in the sect, and that he happened to have the "Nine Heavens Profound Thunder Talisman" obtained from the system, a weapon specifically designed to counter water-based defenses, he probably would have gnawed a few teeth off that tortoise shell.
Now, this item is placed here, facing a group of Sea Soul Masters who spend their days with water.
These people will go crazy fighting over it!
Ning Liu's gaze returned to the stage, where his junior sister was enjoying the moment of being the center of attention.
With its straight back and slightly raised chin, there was no trace of its previous grievance; it was clearly a proud little peacock.
Ning Rongrong cleared her throat. Her voice, which had been slightly hoarse from shame and indignation, was now clear and bright, like a silver bell, resounding throughout the entire venue.
"Azure Wave Divine Light Shield, starting bid: one million gold soul coins!"
She paused, glanced around at the stunned faces below the stage, and delivered the final blow.
"Each bid increase must be no less than 100,000 gold soul coins!"
After a brief silence, the Sea Soul Masters' seats erupted in chaos.
"One million one hundred thousand! We, Giant Whale Island, want this!"
A burly man with a towering stature and dark skin was the first to stand up, his voice booming like a bell.
"Bullshit! Wang Jujing, isn't your Jujing Island all about thick skin and tough flesh? What do you need this thing for? To keep mosquitoes away?"
On the other side, a thin, middle-aged man with sinister eyes immediately retorted.
"1.2 million! Our Sea Snake Island experiences the Kuroshio Current every year. With this, the losses can be reduced by half!"
"The Kuroshio Current is nothing! In the waters near our Xuan Turtle Island, every storm brings up the 'Star Sand' from the seabed! That's a top-quality material!"
"Who would dare to fish like that normally? With this treasure, I can drive it around picking up money! 1.3 million!"
"Well said! The bigger the waves, the more expensive the fish! Ours is too! 1.4 million!"
"One million five hundred thousand!"
Bidding, arguing, and shouting mingled together. The entire auction house resembled a bustling dockside market, except the unit of trade was gold soul coins, enough for an ordinary person to strive for a lifetime.
The young Sea Soul Master who had previously bought three "junk" items was now turning pale and then flushed.
Looking at the radiant, light blue sphere on the stage, and then thinking about the lump of mud, the poisonous thorn, and the salted fish lying in his storage soul tool, he felt a burning pain on his face.
He wanted to bid, but when he opened his mouth, he couldn't utter a single word.
The starting bid of one million was far beyond the limits he could afford.
He could only watch helplessly as prices skyrocketed, each price increase feeling like a resounding slap across his face.
On the mainland, the situation is completely different for Soul Masters.
"See that? That's what you call a solid foundation!"
"Haha, those barbarians laughed so loudly just now, their faces are now stinging!"
"It's more than just painful, I'm probably kicking myself. Three hundred gold soul coins for a bunch of junk, I thought I was being really ruthless! Now that the real treasure has appeared, I can only watch helplessly!"
The elders behind Ning Fengzhi were all beaming, stroking their beards, their eyes full of smiles.
All the previous frustration vanished, leaving only boundless comfort.
Poseidon, the Sea God Douluo, also focused his gaze on the Azure Wave Divine Light Barrier, a hint of surprise flashing in his azure eyes.
This thing... is indeed a good thing.
Poseidon Island is protected by the light of Poseidon, so it naturally doesn't need it.
However, for the seven sacred pillars guarding the Seagod Island and other soul master tribes living at sea, this item has extraordinary strategic significance.
With it, one can not only withstand violent sea storms and sudden tides, but also allow Soul Masters to explore and collect resources in some extreme environments.
Ning Liu, that kid, actually has a treasure of this level hidden in his hands.
She couldn't help but take another look at Ning Liu; this young sect leader from the mainland was giving her more and more surprises.
At this point, prices in the market had been driven to an alarming level.
Three million!
"You think you can take it for three million? Dream on! Three million one hundred thousand!"
"I'll offer three million three hundred thousand!"
Just as everyone was fighting heatedly and almost came to blows, a clear and alluring voice rang out softly.
Five million.
The voice wasn't loud, but it was like a bucket of ice water, instantly extinguishing the anger in the room.
Everyone looked in the direction of the voice and saw a woman in a long black dress, with a graceful figure and her face covered by a thin black veil, slowly standing up in the front row of the Sea Soul Masters' seats.
Although her face was obscured, her exposed eyes were like whirlpools, possessing a captivating charm.
"It's the Sea Witch Douluo!"
"She...she made her move!"
A low gasp of surprise rose from the crowd.
Sea Witch, one of the Seven Sacred Pillar Guardian Douluos, is a powerful figure at the Title Douluo level.
The sea spirit masters who had been fiercely bidding earlier instantly lost their fervor upon seeing her stand up, replaced by respect and apprehension.
Ignoring the gazes of the crowd, the Sea Witch Douluo simply bowed to the stage from afar and cupped her hands in greeting to the various Sea Soul Masters.
"This item is incredibly effective in protecting our merfolk from the invasion of the 'Demon Sound Siren.' I hope you will all do me the favor."
After this statement was made, no one dared to object.
The Demonic Sound Siren is a special sea spirit beast that lives in the waters near the Sea Witch's Holy Pillar. Their songs have a powerful mental attack effect, especially on the night of a full moon, when they form a "Tide of Demonic Sound".
This has caused great trouble for the fish-men. And this Azure Wave Divine Light Shield can come in handy.
The few Sea Soul Masters who had been bidding the most aggressively exchanged glances and silently sat down. Although they were greedy, they also knew what was important.
Aside from the greater good, it's not worth offending a Title Douluo, especially one of the Seven Sacred Pillars Guardians, for the sake of a treasure!
Seeing that no one else was bidding, Ning Rongrong was excited, but she still maintained a professional demeanor.
She picked up the auction gavel, and the crisp sound rang out again.
"Sea Witch Douluo has offered five million gold soul coins! Is there anyone offering a higher bid?"
"Five million per time!"
"Five million twice!"
The entire room fell silent.
"Bang!"
The mallet fell, sealing the deal.
"make a deal!"
