As soon as DouDou finished speaking, two maids carried up a jade plate.
This time, the jade plate was noticeably larger than before, and it was still covered with red silk cloth.
DouDou took a deep breath, raised her jade-like hand, and suddenly unveiled the silk cloth.
A uniquely shaped scepter lay quietly in a jade plate.
The scepter is about 1.5 meters long. The shaft is made of an unknown black metal that gleams with a dark and deep luster and is inlaid with seven gems of different sizes.
Even under the bright lights of the auction house, it still emitted a faint starlight, like stars adorning it in the night sky.
The top of the staff is a star pattern meticulously carved from dark gold metal. In the center of the pattern is a purple crystal the size of a baby's fist, with nebulae flowing inside, mysterious and unpredictable.
"This item is called the Starfall Staff!"
DouDou paused for a moment, then continued...
"According to the information provided by the Heaven Dou Royal Family, this Starfall Staff was transformed from the martial soul of a powerful Title Douluo in ancient times. That Title Douluo was able to communicate with the power of the stars and use the power of the stars to fight."
"In the end, he poured all his soul power and life force into this scepter, making it a real and powerful special soul tool!"
"hiss--"
A collective gasp rippled through the crowd.
A soul tool formed from a martial spirit?
It can also communicate with the power of the stars?
This was completely beyond their comprehension.
"According to records, the Starfall Staff at its peak possessed three core abilities."
"Firstly, the power of the stars! It can summon the power of the nine heavens to form attacks of various forms, with power comparable to a titled Douluo!"
"Secondly, Star Guardian! It can use the power of stars to form a powerful defensive barrier to resist countless attacks!"
"Thirdly, Star Power Amplification! It can significantly increase the user's soul power in a short period of time!"
Each time DouDou introduced a new ability, the gasps from the audience grew louder.
In the VIP section, many people had already sat up straight, their eyes fixed intently on the Starfall Staff on the stage.
"The Heavenly Dou Empire actually possesses such a treasure?"
"My God, if this is true, what would happen? Can they hold out?"
"An attack weapon capable of rivaling a Title Douluo—its value is immeasurable!"
Inside the VIP box, Ning Fengzhi's usually calm face showed a hint of surprise. He looked at Ning Liu beside him and said with a smile:
"Speaking of these ancient artifacts, the Heavenly Dou Empire's royal treasury is indeed very rich in collections."
"I just didn't expect them to be willing to put such a treasure up for auction; it's quite unexpected."
Ning Liu nodded, but in his heart he was thinking that the Starfall Staff sounded very powerful, but since it was being put up for auction, there must be some problems with it.
In another luxurious private room, Prince Xuexing of the Heavenly Dou Empire listened to the exclamations outside and a smug smile appeared on his face.
He picked up the wine glass in front of him and gently swirled it:
"Hmph, a bunch of country bumpkins."
"My royal treasury contains quite a few similar antiquities."
"In previous auctions, those so-called relics and ancient artifacts sold for good prices. Although this Starfall Staff is precious, it is damaged after all. Let's just put it out there and see how the market reacts."
On the auction stage, DouDou changed the subject, her voice tinged with regret.
"Of course, such a powerful soul tool would not appear at an auction if it were intact."
"According to the royal family's assessment, the core magic array inside the Starfall Staff has failed, resulting in a significant reduction in its functionality."
"Now, although it can still summon the power of stars, the attack and defense power it forms is only about equivalent to that of an ordinary Soul Master."
"As for the effect of star power enhancement, it has also been greatly weakened and can almost be ignored."
"Whoosh—"
These words immediately caused an uproar in the audience, with many people showing expressions of disappointment.
"So it turns out it's a bad one!"
"Only equivalent to the power of a Soul Master? What's the use of that? It's not even as good as my own Soul Skill!"
"Exactly, I thought I'd struck gold, but it turns out to be a defective product."
Cheers and jeers rose and fell.
DouDou's smile remained unchanged, clearly indicating that she had expected this.
She raised her hand and gestured for everyone to be quiet.
"Distinguished guests, please be patient."
"Although the Starfall Staff is currently damaged, its main structure is still relatively intact, and it is not entirely impossible to repair it!"
"Once it can be repaired, even if only a portion of its power is restored, it will represent a powerful force capable of supporting the continuation of a family or sect!"
These words reignited the somewhat subdued atmosphere.
Repair is possible!
For some well-established families or sects, the value of a powerful soul tool with the potential to be repaired is still immeasurable.
They may not have the ability to repair it, but they can preserve it as a valuable historical artifact and wait for future opportunities.
"Alright, I believe everyone now has a full understanding of the Starfall Staff."
DouDou cleared his throat and announced loudly:
"【Starfall Staff】, starting bid: one million gold soul coins! Each bid must be at least ten thousand gold soul coins!"
