"The final, highlight item?"
"No way, there's more?"
"After the three divine artifacts, what else deserves the title of 'grand finale'?"
Inside the auction hall, the atmosphere that had just calmed down was reignited by DouDou's words.
Everyone's curiosity was piqued.
Even the sect leaders who had already won their desired items and were about to leave sat down again, wanting to see what else Liuli Tian was up to this time.
On the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile School's side, Ning Fengzhi looked at Sword Douluo and Bone Douluo with a puzzled expression: "Did you know that Ning Liu had a backup plan?"
Sword Douluo and Bone Douluo both shook their heads, indicating that they were also unaware of the matter.
Inside the Spirit Hall's private room, Bibi Dong, who had just breathed a sigh of relief because Ning Liu had won the "Dew of Life," frowned again.
She always felt that Ning Liu's way of doing things was full of strangeness that she couldn't understand.
It's as if he can always pull out something that shocks the world from a pocket that no one would expect.
On the top floor, Ning Liu's private room.
He rubbed his temples, his expression incredibly strange.
[Auction Item: The Spirit Hall's Top Secret Collection - The Spirit Encyclopedia (Complete Original Manuscript)]
Ning Liu was stunned.
The Great Martial Soul Ceremony?
He knows about this thing.
It is an encyclopedia of martial spirit research compiled by the Spirit Hall, which took countless generations of people to complete.
However, the version circulating in the market is an abridged, popular version.
But what on earth is this "Complete Collection of Original Manuscripts"?
He himself didn't even know when he had this thing!
"System, where did you get this set of books for me? You didn't... buy it for free from the Spirit Hall's treasury, did you?"
Ning Liu couldn't help but complain.
The system did not respond.
Ning Liu sighed, too lazy to pursue the matter any further.
Anyway, he was already used to the system's unreasonable operations.
But, putting a set of books after the three divine objects as the grand finale, won't that get you drowned in spit from the audience?
While Ning Liu was lost in thought, Dou Dou on the stage had already begun to hype up the final item for auction.
"Everyone!"
DouDou's voice, which had previously been either passionate or gentle, became solemn and dignified.
"The next item in the auction does not have the power to destroy the world, nor does it have the miraculous effect of bringing the dead back to life."
"It cannot grant you instant success, nor can it grant you immortality."
"But in my personal opinion, its value even surpasses that of all the previous lots!"
"Because it represents the crystallization of wisdom, the spark of civilization, and the research achievements of an era!"
These words left everyone completely confused.
What is this thing, so mysterious?
Under the watchful eyes of the crowd, what the maids pushed forward was no longer a small crystal display cart, but a huge, heavy book cart made of thousand-year-old agarwood.
On the book cart, hundreds of thick classic books were neatly stacked.
The covers of these books are made of the hide of an unknown soul beast, and have an ancient, dark gold color. The four characters "Martial Soul Grand Canon" are written on them in ancient script.
A profound sense of historical weight washes over you.
"Book?"
"So, after all that, the grand finale was a bunch of books?"
"Are you kidding me! I took my pants off, and this is what you show me?"
"Did Liulitian run out of things to film? So they brought out a bunch of old books to make up the numbers?"
After a brief silence, a chorus of boos and complaints erupted from the audience.
Everyone felt like they had been tricked.
They were expecting something even more extraordinary, but what they got was a cartload of seemingly ordinary old books.
This huge psychological gap is something many people find hard to accept.
In the Spirit Hall's private room, Yue Guan (Chrysanthemum Douluo) was taken aback when he saw the set of books, then scoffed:
"I thought it was some kind of treasure, but it turns out to be the 'Martial Soul Grand Canon.' Our Martial Soul Hall library has at least eight thousand, if not ten thousand, copies of this."
Bibi Dong's expression changed drastically the moment she saw the set of books.
Her pupils were fixed on the ancient, dark gold cover and the familiar, unique mark that only the popes of all time could recognize.
"wrong……"
She murmured to herself, her voice trembling slightly without her even realizing it.
She turned her head sharply, staring at Yue Guan, her voice icy and chilling:
"Yue Guan, are you sure the books in our library look like this?"
Yue Guan was startled by Bibi Dong's gaze and quickly looked closely. Upon seeing it, his face turned pale instantly.
"This...this...how is this possible!"
He exclaimed in shock, "This is... the original manuscript, kept in the deepest part of the temple and personally guarded by the High Priest!"
"What?!"
Ghost Douluo was also greatly alarmed.
What is the concept of the original manuscript of "The Great Canon of Martial Souls"?
That is the true foundation of the Spirit Hall! It contains the most original, core, and confidential information on Spirit research from the very beginning of the Spirit Hall's establishment to modern times!
It contains countless failed experiments, countless bold conjectures, and countless forbidden martial spirit evolution schemes!
Its value is immeasurable in monetary terms!
It can be said that whoever possesses this set of manuscripts holds the lifeline of martial spirit research!
"How...how did this happen here?"
Yue Guan's voice trembled, "The High Priest... the High Priest..."
