Amidst the uproar and astonishment of the audience, DouDou's smile grew even more captivating. Her slender fingers gently touched the black skull, her voice carrying a hint of seduction.
"The King Banded Snake, the king of venom, but its most terrifying aspect isn't just its venom. The skill associated with this skull is called 'Deadly Venomous Fang'!"
"As its name suggests, its mental attack is like an invisible and deadly venomous snake's fang!"
hiss--
A collective gasp filled the arena.
Soul attack!
"This set of soul bones, four pieces combined into one, integrates area-of-effect attacks, high-speed combos, offense and defense, and soul-destroying power. It is a perfect combination born for slaughter!"
DouDou's voice rose, filled with passion.
"Whether you aspire to be a meat grinder on the battlefield or a top assassin, it will be your most loyal and deadliest partner!"
His words stirred the crowd's blood, and many Soul Masters began to breathe heavily.
"Now, I declare!"
She looked around the room and then suddenly waved her hand downwards.
"Millennial Offensive Soul Bone Set, starting bid: one million gold soul coins! Each bid must be at least one hundred thousand gold soul coins!"
One million!
This price, compared to the previous control-type soul bone, is worlds apart, instantly igniting the hopes of the vast majority of people.
"One million one hundred thousand!"
"I'll offer 1.2 million!"
"The Kingdom of Barak, 1.5 million!"
"Stop arguing, our Kingdom of Silves wants this set of soul bones! One million eight hundred thousand!"
Bidding was incessant, and the atmosphere in the room was even more heated than when they had bid for the control-type soul bone.
After all, for most Soul Master factions, the ultimate attack is their simplest and most direct need.
Training a top-tier control-type Soul Master is time-consuming and labor-intensive, but creating a powerful attacker can immediately enhance the combat power of the entire team.
Ning Liu sat in the VIP room, calmly watching the frenzied bidding below.
In his opinion, this set of soul bones was indeed quite good, and the combination was very clever.
The Earth King's area knockback, the Wind Chaser Wolf's rapid pursuit, the Exploding Lizard's close-range counter-damage, and the Silver Ring King Serpent's soul-targeting kill form a fairly complete attack chain.
Unfortunately, the age limit is too short.
The bidding off the field quickly reached a fever pitch.
Five million!
"Five million five hundred thousand!"
"The Kingdom of Kodia, seven million!"
Prices soared and quickly broke through the ten million mark, deterring many small and medium-sized enterprises.
The main competitors became several powerful kingdoms.
Although they cannot compare with the two great empires of Tiandou and Xingluo, their national treasury is full and their foundation is deep, so it is not a problem for them to come up with ten or twenty million gold soul coins.
"Thirteen million!"
The representative of the Kingdom of Barak shouted through gritted teeth.
"Thirteen million five hundred thousand!"
The envoys from the Kingdom of Silves refused to budge an inch.
After the price climbed to 15 million, the pace slowed significantly, and sweat appeared on the foreheads of the representatives from several kingdoms, clearly indicating that it had approached their psychological bottom line.
Just then, a slightly aged but powerful voice resounded throughout the venue.
"Gentlemen, if we continue to argue like this, the auction house will only benefit, and in the end, none of us will gain anything."
Everyone looked in the direction of the voice and saw that the speaker was the chief court mage of the Kingdom of Kodia, an old Soul Saint with gray hair.
He stood up, his gaze sweeping over the seats of the other kingdoms, and said in a deep voice:
"I propose that our four nations join forces to bid on this set of soul bones! After the bid is won, each nation will take one piece, and we can discuss how to distribute them privately. This is much better than bidding against each other and letting outsiders benefit for nothing!"
Upon hearing this, the entire room fell silent for a moment, then erupted into even louder discussions.
Joint bidding?
This wasn't unprecedented at auctions, but it usually only happened between families. This was the first time several kingdoms had openly joined forces like this.
The representatives from the Kingdom of Barak and the Kingdom of Silves exchanged a glance, both seeing interest in each other's eyes.
They knew very well that if they continued to fight, the price would only become more and more outrageous, and even if one of them managed to win, it would inevitably be severely damaged.
After a brief exchange of glances, the envoy from the Kingdom of Silves nodded first: "Very well! The Kingdom of Silves agrees to Mage Kodia's proposal!"
"The Kingdom of Barak second this proposal!"
"Our Kingdom of Kurt also joins!"
The four forces quickly reached an agreement.
DouDou stood on the stage, her smile still sweet, seemingly unsurprised by the unexpected turn of events.
Auction houses operate on the principle of recognizing only money, not people.
They don't care whether it's an individual or an alliance that makes a bid, as long as someone makes one.
The old mage of the Kingdom of Kodia, acting as their representative, cleared his throat, raised his bidding paddle, and loudly announced a price that left everyone speechless.
"Twenty-five million gold soul coins!"
As soon as this price was announced, all the scattered bidding stopped abruptly.
Twenty-five million to buy a set of soul bones with a maximum age of no more than five thousand years is far too much.
However, for the four kingdoms, the cost is only a little over six million each. Using this price to add a core combatant to the kingdom is definitely worthwhile.
"Twenty-five million! Is there a higher price?"
DouDou's voice echoed throughout the venue.
The entire room fell silent.
"Twenty-five million once!"
"Twenty-five million twice!"
"Twenty-five million... Sold!"
