Chapter 38: The Body Sect
"Master, who was that just now?"
After the Willow God left, Lei Yao and Ling Yun quickly approached, their steps hurried.
The two came to Jiang Li's side, their gazes fixed on the upstairs, their eyes filled with shock.
The overwhelming pressure from earlier had left them with lingering fear.
They didn't dare to act recklessly, but fortunately, the person hadn't posed any threat to the Master.
"She comes from a powerful world, don't worry, she won't harm us."
Jiang Li wasn't sure how to explain, so he casually brushed it off, wearing a faint smile on his face, trying to soothe their emotions.
Upon hearing this, while Ling Yun and Lei Yao still had doubts, they didn't press the matter further.
The two exchanged a glance and nodded slightly, temporarily setting aside their concerns. They returned to their positions to make the final preparations for the upcoming auction.
Time passed by swiftly, and the night vanished in the blink of an eye.
Today was the day the Star Dou Auction House was holding the auction.
The day before, Jiang Li had instructed Lei Yao to send the carefully prepared invitations through various channels, ensuring they reached every corner of the Douluo Continent as quickly as possible.
From the ancient and mysterious forces to the mighty empires, all were eagerly anticipating the auction, sending representatives to the Star Dou Auction House.
…
In a hidden valley deep within the Douluo Continent, surrounded by mountains, there lay a secluded, powerful sect—the Body Sect.
Inside the Body Sect's main hall, the atmosphere was solemn and serious.
The current Sect Master, Du Busi , sat on the main seat. His face was cold, and his eyes carried a sense of weariness and authority accumulated over many years.
He wore a black robe embroidered with golden patterns that shimmered with a mysterious light in the dim lighting of the hall.
Before Du Busi stood a young man—Long Aotian.
Long Aotian stood tall like a pine tree, filled with youthful vigor and energy.
His martial soul was his skin, and he was the strongest among the younger generation of the Body Sect, as well as a junior sect master.
His martial soul had reached the Silver-level awakening, which was an incredibly rare talent in the history of the Body Sect.
At this moment, he held a golden invitation in both hands and respectfully said, "Sect Master, this is the invitation sent by the Star Dou Auction House yesterday. Should we attend today's auction?"
Long Aotian's words were like a stone thrown into a calm lake, stirring ripples of surprise.
Du Busi furrowed his brow slightly, deep in thought.
A month ago, the news of the Star Dou Auction House's auction spread like wildfire across the entire Douluo Continent.
At that time, several Title Douluo-level experts, including the Sect Master, had entered a deep seclusion to seek a breakthrough.
Before entering seclusion, they had given strict orders not to disturb them unless it was a life-or-death crisis for the sect.
Because of this, the Body Sect missed that auction, including the legendary Extreme Fire Martial Soul.
Thinking back on this, Du Busi felt deep regret.
He still vividly remembered the regret and frustration he felt when he finished his seclusion and learned that the Extreme Fire Martial Soul had been bought by someone else.
Now, the Star Dou Auction House had announced another auction.
A glint of seriousness appeared in Du Busi 's eyes as he suddenly stood up, hands behind his back, and said in a deep voice.
"Why not attend? We missed the Extreme Fire Martial Soul last time; we can't afford to miss it again this time."
Du Busi 's voice echoed throughout the hall, firm and resolute.
He glanced at the invitation in his hand, admiring the exquisite patterns and the gilded text.
"Level 9 Soul Guidance Device? Interesting. I hope there will be other treasures that can catch my eye besides this."
A slight smile appeared on Du Busi 's lips, his eyes full of anticipation.
He waved his hand and issued a command loudly, "Order all the sect's experts to follow me to the Star Dou Auction House!"
With Du Busi 's command, the Body Sect immediately became bustling with activity.
After a while, Du Busi walked out of the Sect Master's hall, scanning the crowd and nodding. He led the way toward the Star Dou Auction House.
…
Inside the Star Dou Auction House, Jiang Li stood in front of his room's window, quietly gazing at the bustling crowd below.
He was deep in thought, planning to personally host the auction today.
Now that he had the Invincible Domain, this was undoubtedly a powerful trump card.
As long as he was within the Star Dou Auction House, nothing could threaten his safety.
To ensure the smooth running of the auction, Jiang Li had placed the high-level puppet he had previously obtained at the entrance of the auction house.
It stood silently, like an insurmountable fortress, guarding the safety of the Star Dou Auction House.
As the time for the auction drew closer, the crowds continued to pour into the Star Dou Auction House like a tide.
At this moment, the Shrek Academy group arrived late.
At the forefront were Mu En, Elder Xuan, and Yan Shaozhe, all senior figures from Shrek Academy, powerful and highly respected.
Behind them, a group of young students followed. These were the future stars of Shrek Academy, their eyes filled with curiosity and excitement.
As Mu En and the others arrived at the Star Dou Auction House's entrance, their gazes were immediately drawn to the high-level puppet.
This puppet emitted a mysterious and dangerous aura, causing them to involuntarily stop.
A glint of curiosity flashed in Mu En's eyes as he carefully examined the puppet, silently marveling in his heart.
He had never seen such a finely crafted humanoid metallic object. From the aura it emanated, it seemed that if the puppet were to move, it would possess at least the strength of a Title Douluo.
Elder Xuan, standing beside him, was equally stunned by the puppet. A look of surprise appeared on his face.
Soon, Yan Shaozhe curiously asked, "Fan Yu, can you tell what this object really is?"
Fan Yu, an eighth-level soul engineer from Shrek Academy, had deep expertise in soul tools.
At this moment, his gaze was also fixed on the humanoid soul tool with complete focus.
Hearing Yan Shaozhe's question, he furrowed his brow, thought for a moment, then shook his head and said, "I'm not sure, but judging from its appearance and the energy it's emitting, this should be a type of soul tool I've never seen before."
Fan Yu's curiosity was fully piqued. He couldn't help but take a few steps forward, eager to examine the mysterious humanoid soul tool.
Just as he approached the puppet, its eyes suddenly shot out two red beams of light, like swords cutting through the air.
