The atmosphere at the Tiandou Auction House fell silent for a brief moment.
The first two lots had already brought the atmosphere in the room to a climax.
At this moment, everyone's eyes were focused on the beautiful figure on the auction stage.
DouDou wore a perfectly charming smile, and her clear, melodious voice resonated throughout the entire venue via the soul-guided loudspeaker:
"Distinguished guests, I'm sure the bidding for the last set of soul bones left you wanting more, right? Well then, this third item might... drive another group of soul masters completely crazy!"
Her voice carried a hint of playful mystery, successfully piquing everyone's curiosity.
With an elegant gesture, four graceful maids once again walked onto the stage, carrying together a huge tray covered with a red cloth.
"Four pieces again?"
"Could it be... another set of soul bones?"
The audience was filled with murmurs, and many people were breathing heavily.
With a gentle wave of her jade-like hand, the huge red cloth slid down, revealing four soul bones lying quietly in the tray.
Unlike the previous set of soul bones, which exuded a sharp and assertive aura, this set of soul bones emitted energy fluctuations that were more unpredictable and ever-changing.
A torso bone, a deep, dark green, covered with thorn-like protrusions, exuding a dangerous yet resilient aura, like a living creature.
A skull, entirely pink and crystal clear, resembled a fine work of art, yet deep within that pink aura seemed to conceal a power that stirred the soul.
A right arm bone, dark purple in color, with distinct joints, and a surface covered with fine patterns resembling a spider web, sending chills down one's spine at first glance.
The last piece of the left leg bone was a strange pale blue, with smooth and rounded texture, like a beautiful jade from the deep sea, exuding a captivating charm.
DouDou's voice rang out at just the right moment, carrying a hint of bewitching magic:
"That's right, distinguished guests, you haven't misread it!"
"This third item is also a set of thousand-year-old soul bones! But unlike the previous set, this set is a top-tier collectible prepared for our esteemed control-type soul masters!"
Her slender fingers first pointed to the dark purple bone in her right arm.
"The first piece is the right arm bone of the three-thousand-year-old human-faced demon spider!"
"The terror of the Human-Faced Demon Spider is self-evident. The skill attached to its soul bone is called 'Paralyzing Spider Web,' which can shoot out a spider web infused with a powerful paralyzing toxin. Once it hits, the opponent will be unable to move and will be at the mercy of others! It is an extremely powerful single-target control skill!"
As soon as he finished speaking, a collective gasp of astonishment rippled through the audience.
The Human-Faced Demon Spider is one of the nightmares of the Soul Master world, and the value of the Soul Bones it produces is self-evident.
Without pausing, DouDou's fingers slid towards the pale blue left leg bone.
"The second piece, the left leg bone of the Bewitching Sea Monster from 2,500 years ago!"
"This soul bone is quite rare. Its skill, 'Song of Bewitching Hearts,' can emit invisible sound waves through soul power vibrations, impacting enemies within close range and causing them to fall into a brief state of dizziness and confusion! In close combat, it is enough to instantly decide the outcome!"
“Next, this is the most special one.” DouDou’s gaze fell on the dark green torso bone. “A torso bone from four thousand years of thorny vines!”
"This soul bone originated from a powerful plant-type soul beast—the Ghost Prison Thorn Vine!"
"Its attached skill, 'Thorn Cage'! It can instantly create a cage made of thorny vines centered on the user, trapping all enemies within range and inflicting continuous piercing damage! It is a rare and powerful crowd control skill!"
These words immediately caused an uproar in the room.
"What? Ghost Prison Thorn Vine? Plant-type soul beasts can produce soul bones? This is the first time I've ever heard of such a thing!"
A well-informed nobleman stood up in surprise, his face full of disbelief.
An elderly man beside him stroked his beard and said in a deep voice:
"The world is so big, there are all kinds of wonders."
"It is indeed recorded in ancient texts that some plant-type soul beasts also have a very small probability of condensing soul bones, but their rarity far exceeds that of animal-type soul beasts of the same level!"
"This torso bone, in terms of rarity, is probably no less than a ten-thousand-year-old soul bone!"
These words made the gazes of many people fixed on that dark green torso bone become incredibly fervent.
DouDou was very satisfied with the reaction from the audience. She finally pointed to the most beautiful pink skull, her voice becoming even sweeter and more charming:
"The last piece, the skull of the 1,800-year-old Pink Dream! Produced by the Pink Lady."
"Its skill is called 'Charm Aura'. It is a passive skill that does not require active activation. It will form an invisible charm field around the Soul Master, continuously weakening the fighting spirit of all enemies within range and having a certain chance to put them into a state of confusion."
"For female Soul Masters, the effect will likely be amplified even further!"
Four soul bones, four powerful control skills!
Single-target crowd control, close-range mental impact, group restriction, and continuous area-of-effect weakening!
This is practically a mobile control fortress!
"My God, this set of soul bones is perfect! It has single-target, area-of-effect, and passive aura effects—it has them all!"
"That right arm bone from the human-faced demon spider is perfect for me! My martial soul is just missing a powerful single-target control ability!"
"Stop thinking about it, that Thorn Cage is the real strategic skill. In a team fight, one use of that skill can completely destroy the enemy team!"
"What do you guys know? That Pink Dream Skull is the real gem! It's beautiful, and its skills are practical. It's practically tailor-made for me!"
A richly dressed lady exclaimed excitedly.
The atmosphere inside the arena was absolutely electric, and countless control-type Soul Masters had their eyes bloodshot. If the previous set of Soul Bones was the dream of power-attack and agility-attack Soul Masters, then this set was the ultimate pursuit for all control-type Soul Masters!
"It seems like it's going to be another fierce battle, and the price probably won't be lower than the last one."
"Low? I think it will only get higher! Who doesn't know how important a control-type Soul Master is in a team?"
"In some ways, the value of this set of soul bones is even more terrifying than the previous set!"
DouDou waited quietly, letting this fervent emotion ferment and intensify.
Only when the entire venue was filled with the tension and competitive atmosphere did she raise her hand again and gently tap the table with a crisp wooden mallet.
"Thump!"
The clear sound brought a moment of silence to the noisy meeting room.
DouDou's smile remained sweet, but her words were full of power: "This set of thousand-year soul bone armor, tailor-made for control-type soul masters, has a starting bid of one million gold soul coins!"
"Each bid increase must be no less than 100,000 gold soul coins!"
She surveyed the room, her gaze carrying a hint of encouragement and provocation.
"The auction is now in session!"
