Huo Yuhao's voice was soft, almost as if only Qingya could hear it.
At that moment, Qingya didn't seem to catch the meaning behind Huo Yuhao's words and asked naively,"Really? I've never drank the milk of a dragon-type soul beast before. Can I really go?"
"When the time comes… if you finish your milk… you won't be mad at me, right?"
Hearing Qingya speak, Huo Yuhao chuckled silently in his heart, a small smile playing on his lips."Don't worry, Qingya-jiejie. There'll be plenty of milk for you!"
…
While Huo Yuhao and Qingya were quietly discussing, suddenly the entire room was bathed in a golden glow.
Everyone instinctively looked toward the Soul Guidance Screen opposite the sofa.
A soft golden light spread without being harsh, partially blocking everyone's vision. Golden rays seeped into every corner of the room, giving the once-cozy space a noble and elegant aura.
Qingya announced, "Distinguished guests, today's auction is about to begin."
The golden light on the Soul Guidance Screen gradually faded, replaced by a melodious voice.
"Welcome, esteemed guests, to the Starlight Auction's top-tier auction! Today, we will present a total of nine precious items, displayed from lower to higher value. We hope everyone enjoys the presentation."
The screen cleared. On the platform, bathed in a subtle white mist, stood a young girl in a long red dress.
She looked around seventeen or eighteen years old, with a beauty that could rival Jiang Nannan.
Being slightly older than Jiang Nannan, her figure was fully developed, and the red chiffon dress highlighted her fair, flawless skin, giving her a perfect appearance.
Strangely, there was no auction podium on her platform.
"Hello, esteemed guests. I am the auctioneer Jiujiu. It is my honor to host this top-tier auction!"
"Now, please enjoy the first item of today's auction."
As she spoke, she smiled sweetly, performing an elegant and complex gesture, her right hand inviting attention.
Suddenly, the screen shifted, and the entire wall now displayed a single item.
No wonder there was no auction podium—this was an enlarged image of the item itself.
The ten-meter-wide wall showed every detail of the object clearly.
"The Overlord Tiger Soul-Refining Blade, an eighth-level close-combat Soul Guidance Weapon. Its material is extremely rare, including a right-arm bone from a ten-thousand-year-old Overlord Tiger soul beast. Solidifying its Soul Bone skill, Overlord Blade Slash, it also increases the attack power of similar soul skills by fifty percent."
"Please note, each strike with this precious close-combat Soul Guidance Weapon carries the Overlord Blade Slash effect."
"This effect can stack with any similar attack soul skill. Moreover, thanks to the refined core array guidance and the energy within the Soul Bone itself, the Overlord Blade Slash consumes only one-third of the normal soul power."
"Finally, this Overlord Tiger Soul-Refining Blade comes from Mingde Hall of the Sunmoon Empire. I believe the name alone guarantees its quality!"
"Only Soul Saints of seven rings or higher can use this blade. With it, a Soul Saint can challenge a Douluo far above their rank. Viewing time: five minutes."
As Jiujiu finished the introduction, quiet gasps spread across the room. And this was only the first item!
An eighth-level Soul Guidance Weapon!
Even experienced participants like Ma Xiaotao and Ling Luocheng were astonished. Eighth-level Soul Guidance Weapons had appeared in previous auctions, but extremely rarely.
Usually, sixth-level weapons were already considered top-tier. An eighth-level weapon was truly a grand finale.
And here, the very first item of the auction was an eighth-level weapon! Coupled with the auctioneer's announcement that items would increase in value, it was no wonder everyone was shocked.
Despite being a close-combat Soul Guidance Weapon, for high-level Soul Masters, its practical value exceeded that of long-range or specialized weapons—it synergized perfectly with their skills.
Everyone instinctively stood and approached the screen, examining the weapon carefully.
The upper part of the screen displayed details: the Overlord Tiger Soul-Refining Blade was four feet six inches long, with the widest part of the spine one inch, in the style of a cavalry saber. From handle to guard, subtle bone-like patterns appeared. The guard was wide, shaped like a tiger head.
The core array of the weapon was undoubtedly in this section. The tiger head was a crystal yellow, like a special gemstone.
"Viewing time over! The Overlord Tiger Soul-Refining Blade starts at 600,000 Gold Soul Coins. Each bid must increase by no less than 5,000 Gold Soul Coins."
"Esteemed guests are all connoisseurs, so there's no need for further explanation. The bidding begins. If no one raises the price within one minute, the item is sold."
The screen faded to a subtle white, and the giant image of the blade became the background.
A massive "600,000" appeared on the screen.
Just as everyone wondered who would bid for the blade, Huo Yuhao spoke calmly,"One million!"
All eyes turned to Huo Yuhao, curiosity and surprise written across their faces.
Huo Yuhao wasn't a Soul Saint—why would he buy this? He couldn't even use it.
He smiled faintly at Ma Xiaotao."Xiaotao-xuejie, I think you're about to become a Soul Saint, right?"
"We've known each other for so long, and I've never given you anything. Consider this eighth-level Soul Guidance Weapon my first gift to you!"
Ma Xiaotao felt her heart race hearing Huo Yuhao's confident words.She had not misjudged him!
"Huo Yuhao, you treat me so well. How should I repay you?"
She moved closer to Huo Yuhao, resting her shoulder against his arm."How about… tonight, you come to my place, and I'll treat you to some milk!"
Ma Xiaotao's boldness made Huo Yuhao cough.Wait—there were witnesses!
Too… daring!
No wonder she possessed the Fire-Suppressing Phoenix martial soul!
At that moment, as Huo Yuhao made his bid, the golden-clad attendant immediately updated the screen. The number changed to one million.
While Huo Yuhao and Xiaotao were talking, the numbers on the Soul Guidance Screen started rising quickly—others were bidding too.
Huo Yuhao wanted to bid two million to secure it, but Qingya stopped him."Yuhao-didi, even with money, you shouldn't be so wasteful!"
"This Overlord Tiger Soul-Refining Blade's base material alone is worth around 600,000 Gold Soul Coins—that's why it started at this price," Qingya explained.
"Its actual value, conservatively estimated, exceeds 1.3 million Gold Soul Coins."
"Yuhao-didi, I think you just bid 1.6 million, and no one will compete anymore~"
