Chapter 241 Auction.
In the main arena of the Heaven Dou City Great Soul Arena, the Clear Sky Team and the Blue Lightning Team were locked in battle. All members of the Clear Sky Team wielded the Clear Sky Hammer, while all members of the Blue Lightning Team possessed the Blue Lightning Tyrannosaurus Rex.
These Soul Emperor-level combat souls were indeed incredibly exciting; both teams' souls were extremely domineering and powerful, a true clash of strength.
However, the Blue Lightning Team held a slight advantage. After all, beast souls were indeed more powerful than weapon souls before reaching Soul Saint level, especially in terms of physical enhancement. Furthermore, the Blue Lightning Tyrannosaurus Rex family possessed a unique dragon transformation skill; several Soul Emperors could transform multiple parts of their bodies into dragon forms, resulting in increased strength and control. While the Clear Sky Sect's self-created soul skills were also very powerful, and they even possessed the powerful Clear Sky Formation, their overall strength was still somewhat inferior.
Lightning flashed intermittently across the arena, and hammers flew back and forth.
Ultimately, the Blue Lightning team emerged victorious, but it was a hard-fought battle, with both sides giving it their all and using every trick in the book. Meanwhile, Wang Lanfang and Wang Mingxu were discussing the battle.
Looking at the Blue Lightning Tyrannosaurus's dragon transformation, Wang Mingfang couldn't help but complain, "Mingxu, don't you think their dragon transformation is a bit similar to our phoenix transformation? They seem to have the same abilities."
Wang Mingxu nodded, "It is indeed very similar. I've heard my dad say before that the Blue Lightning Tyrannosaurus family's dragon transformation is a closely guarded secret, the foundation of their strength. However, although their dragon transformation is powerful, it still has a major drawback. The Blue Lightning Tyrannosaurus family is best suited for lightning-attribute dragon-type soul beasts, but both dragon-type and lightning-attribute soul beasts are relatively rare in the Soul Hunting Forest. I guess this is one of the reasons for the Blue Lightning Tyrannosaurus family's decline."
Wang Lanfang smiled, "Their family's weakness is their problem. It's because their martial soul itself is too restricted. Just like our Fire Phoenix martial soul, it mainly absorbs fire-type soul beasts or bird-type soul beasts, both of which are relatively common."
"Indeed, there are many volcanoes on the Douluo Continent, suitable for the growth of fire-type soul beasts."
Wang Lanfang seemed quite proud. "That's right. In my understanding, our Fire Phoenix Martial Soul is actually the strongest. Whether it's the continuation of the Fire Phoenix Martial Soul or the absorption of soul rings, it's much more convenient."
But Wang Mingxu poured cold water on this, saying, "Although the Fire Phoenix Martial Soul is powerful, it also has its weaknesses. If you're not a Fire Phoenix Martial Soul Master with innate full soul power, it's easy for evil fire to grow on your body, and the harm of evil fire is very great, even causing people to lose their way."
Oh, after this soul battle was over, they left the Great Soul Arena, still feeling a bit unsatisfied. Although the two sides in the soul battle weren't necessarily very strong, it was still very exciting.
They found a hotel and booked two adjacent rooms to rest.
Early the next morning, the two left their rooms to have breakfast outside. Perhaps because of a night's rest, the two were now more excited and in better spirits than the day before.
The two planned to first go shopping, exploring the local customs and culture of Tiandou City, followed by sampling its delicacies. They intended to visit Yuexuan in the afternoon to see its supposed ambiance. If possible, they also planned to visit the company owned by the three upper sects to see if it was truly as they had heard yesterday.
Wang Lanfang was naturally the most excited about Tiandou City; girls, regardless of the era, are born shopaholics, especially when they have plenty of gold soul coins.
In just one morning, Wang Lanfang's purchases filled half a soul tool, while Wang Mingxu preferred various metals and books, also buying many items.
As for the food in Tiandou City, as expected of one of the most prosperous cities in the Douluo Federation, it offered a wide variety of cuisines, even including sea spirit beast meat from Hanhai City.
After a hearty meal, the two went to Yuexuan. Just as others had said, Yuexuan was indeed an elegant place, with a rich collection of harps and various musical instruments, all of which looked very expensive.
However, the two were a little disappointed. The musical instruments at the music school were far too expensive, and the lessons were also very pricey, making them unaffordable for ordinary people. Although neither of them cared about the money, they still chose to leave.
As for the companies run by the three sects, they were indeed as rumored: each was extremely large and had its own unique characteristics.
The people at Haotian Blacksmith Shop were highly skilled, with excellent forging abilities, even capable of crafting many powerful weapons. However, their communication skills seemed rather poor; all the Soul Masters wielding the Haotian Hammer seemed extremely proud.
Blue Lightning Security Company was relatively mediocre; they could fulfill almost any request, but their fees were quite high.
Finally, Seven Treasures Mining Company was the most respectable, befitting a business. Both their service and goods were excellent, and Wang Mingxu even bought a considerable amount of precious metals to use in crafting Soul Tools. Even after a day of shopping, Wang Lanfang's spirits remained high, and the two went to the Heaven Dou City Auction House that evening.
Heaven Dou City lived up to its reputation as one of the most prosperous cities on the continent, and its auction house was one of the largest, with all the auction items being exceptional.
A dazzling array of items were on display, priced exorbitantly, and many could be considered top-tier.
Especially when a ten-thousand-year-old soul bone appeared at the auction, the two of them were extremely envious.
Although their father had extremely high requirements for soul bones and had even warned them not to absorb low-age soul bones, at least not those below 50,000 years old, they were still somewhat tempted by this one.
The beautiful auctioneer announced, "Distinguished guests, the last item for auction is a ten-thousand-year-old soul bone from a ten-thousand-year-old Ghost Tiger. The starting price is 1 million gold soul coins, with each bid increasing by at least 50,000 gold soul coins."
Perhaps because the soul bone was so valuable, the room fell into a brief silence. Many people looked at each other, seemingly forgetting about the auction.
Wang Lanfang, seemingly oblivious to the immensits of the situation, immediately announced, "1.1 million gold soul coins." Others immediately followed suit: "1.2 million gold soul coins."
"1.3 million gold soul coins."
"1.4 million gold soul coins."
In just a short while, the ten-thousand-year-old soul bone had reached 2.8 million gold soul coins.
But Wang Lanfang seemed to have gotten excited too, and simply lowered the price by 3.5 million gold soul coins.
The room fell silent again. Judging from her expression, she seemed determined to win; if everyone competed, the price might become outrageous.
Ultimately, Wang Lanfang won the ten-thousand-year-old ghost tiger's soul bone for 3.5 million gold soul coins.
Wang Mingxu, standing to the side, wasn't surprised at all. After all, the two of them already had millions of gold soul coins in their cards, and he also had a special black gold soul coin card from his mother. According to his mother, it was worth tens of millions of gold soul coins and could be used throughout the entire Douluo Federation.
What Wang Mingxu didn't know was that this black card was a supreme card from the Douluo Federation Bank, with an extremely high credit limit, and each one was a symbol of status. Moreover, his sister also had one; this was something only the Empress of the Douluo Federation could possess.
