Ning Siyin, the person whose name was drawn, walked onto the stage. Looking at the exhausted Chu Su, a look of confusion flashed in their eyes.
"If you can't hold on, just step down and let someone else take over. Why force yourself?"
Ning Siyin said to Chu Su. They were a rather handsome person, with a slightly feminine appearance. If they were a woman, they might have been even more beautiful.
"Heh, whether you can do it is another matter. In my Chu Su's dictionary, there are no words like 'fear before the battle'. Whether you can defeat me is still up for debate."
"Icefire Demonic Tiger!!"
Chu Su channeled the last of their remaining soul power. Two spirals, one red and one blue, appeared in each of their hands. This was Chu Su's signature soul skill, the Icefire Spiral Kill.
"I have to admit, you're indeed strong, but I will be the one to end you."
"Soul, Thunder Frog!"
Ning Siyin reached out their hand and channeled their soul power. Lightning flashed behind them, and a blue soul mark appeared. A giant four-legged creature jumped out from behind Ning Siyin.
"Quack!"
It was a blue frog, its body surrounded by electric light. Its eyes were cute, black pupils, looking somewhat lazy, with its hands placed under its feet.
Two yellow soul rings appeared around Ning Siyin. Ning Siyin watched Chu Su quietly.
The Thunder Frog was a lightning-type soul, belonging to the agile attack type.
"Hmph, watch me take you down with one move, Icefire Spiral Kill!"
Chu Su was not afraid at all, but rather revealed a look of excitement on their face. The two spirals merged, and the Icefire Spiral Kill was launched directly at Ning Siyin.
"Second Soul Skill, Thunder Net!"
Ning Siyin's soul rings shone, and the giant Thunder Frog behind them clapped its cute frog hands. With the clap of the hands, a large net, filled with electric light, flew out from its hands, enveloping Chu Su.
"Hmph! Break for me!"
Chu Su maintained their forward momentum, and the Icefire Spiral Kill collided directly with the Thunder Net, attempting to break through it.
"Foolish."
Ning Siyin sneered, and the Thunder Net closed in front of Chu Su, like a net cast for fishing, trying to capture Chu Su.
Chu Su allowed the Thunder Net to ensnare them, convinced that their Icefire Spiral Kill could break through this net.
"Close!"
The Thunder Net enveloped Chu Su, immediately shrinking and becoming smaller. The mesh also became finer, and the lightning compressed, making the energy even more powerful.
"Aaaaah!"
The Icefire Spiral Kill did not break through the Thunder Net. As the net tightened, Chu Su was paralyzed by the all-around lightning. If they were at full strength, they might have been able to withstand it for a while, allowing the Icefire Spiral Kill to break through the Thunder Net. However, after several matches, they were already exhausted, and their body's defenses were at their lowest point. The lightning entered their body, eroding their meridians, and Chu Su cried out in pain.
"Boom!!!"
Chu Su, trapped by the Thunder Net, slammed heavily onto the stage and fell into a coma, severely injured.
"Hmph, I told you not to be stubborn. What a stubborn fellow."
Ning Siyin said, looking at the unconscious Chu Su.
"Chu, Chu Su loses. In this match, Ning Siyin wins!"
"Congratulations on the birth of a new defending champion. Please have a healing soul master check on the contestant Chu Su. According to the rules, with each new champion, we will auction off an item. Today, we will auction off the second item. Let's take a break."
A healing soul master had already gone on stage to take Chu Su away. Yan Wei clapped his hands, and He Chen brought up an item.
Seeing He Chen, a Soul Saint, bring the item up, everyone knew it was extraordinary.
"Before we auction this item, I'd like to tell you a story."
"Actually, I don't want to mention it too much. I wonder if you all remember my late wife."
"My wife and I met at the Yanling Auction House. At that time, my wife was down on her luck. To obtain money, she came to the auction house to auction off items. I met her at that time..."
When he spoke of his wife, Yan Wei's eyes revealed a look of nostalgia. The people present had all heard about the Yan family's affairs, so they nodded and listened quietly. Only Yan Qingwan, on the stage below, showed a look of disgust. It was clearly him who had killed his own wife, and yet he had the nerve to mention it on stage!
"Xiao Wan, calm down."
Yuan Yu, on the side, placed her hand on Yan Qingwan's, looking at her with concern.
"Yeah, Sister Yu, I'm fine."
"It's a pity that my wife was eventually killed by Evil Soul Masters. Yan Wei felt extremely resentful in his heart and was constantly thinking of her. Thus, when we first met, I bought the Vast Sea Glazed, which became our token of recognition."
"I originally thought the Vast Sea Glazed was just an ordinary stone, but later I discovered its function: it could make objects that it shone on invisible! What does this mean? It means that the Vast Sea Universe Cover, which the Vast Sea Glazed fell from, can also become invisible!"
"However, the Vast Sea Universe Cover is a national treasure, and naturally, I can't see it. But my wife mentioned that the Vast Sea Glazed was incomplete; it seemed to be missing something, and this missing thing has been missing ever since."
"For the sake of my late wife's wish and obsession, I also wanted to solve the mystery of the Vast Sea Glazed, so I have been searching for objects with the same function as the Vast Sea Glazed. Finally! I found it! I found a stone with the same function as the Vast Sea Glazed from a city near the sea, and this stone is even bigger, with a better invisibility effect! There is also a legend about this stone, saying that it is the tears of the sea god, the Heart of the Sea God, but whether it's true or not, I don't know."
"Originally, I should have directly presented things related to national treasures to the Heaven Dou Imperial Family, but the Heaven Dou Imperial Family separated my wife and me, not allowing us to be together. Yan Wei is also a man of flesh and blood! The Heaven Dou Imperial Family treated me like this, so I will not give this thing called the Heart of the Sea God to the imperial family. Now, I will auction it off! Slap the imperial family in the face! This Heart of the Sea God is the second item for auction, starting at seven million Gold Soul Coins!"
Yan Wei opened the red cloth covering the Heart of the Sea God, and a blue stone appeared before everyone's eyes.
This stone seemed to have fallen from something, it was oval-shaped, and was surrounded by golden, curved gold bars. Gentle, deep ocean waves radiated from it, and even Qian Xunji on the stage widened his eyes.
"This aura is..."
"What's wrong? Xunji?"
"Nothing, it's a strange energy. With my ability, I can't tell what this fell from. I didn't expect Yan Wei to have such a treasure in private."
Qian Xunji's eyes became greedy, but in public, he couldn't be too obvious and could only watch Yan Wei auction it off.
Actually, Yan Wei didn't know what the Heart of the Sea God was used for. If they knew it had fallen from the Poseidon Trident, that it belonged to Poseidon, and that it was a part of a super artifact, they would never have put it up for auction!
"That's right, the aura is from the same source as the Vast Sea Universe Cover. I've seen the Vast Sea Universe Cover, and it's true that the Vast Sea Universe Cover has defects. This should be something from the Vast Sea Universe Cover."
Meng Qianji, in the shadows, said with a serious expression.
"Should we buy it?"
Poison Soul Death asked.
"We must buy it. This thing is very important. If we get it, then I will have made another great contribution. Yan Wei doesn't know the worth of it. He wants to auction off the Heart of the Sea God to slap the imperial family in the face, but he doesn't know that this thing is a hundred times more important than slapping the imperial family in the face."
"Nine million Gold Soul Coins!"
Someone shouted from below.
"Hehe, are you interested in this thing, Brother Morris?"
"I'm not interested. This thing has a negative influence on me. I feel like my soul is rejecting this thing."
"Moreover, most of the people present are here for the 100,000-year-old soul bones, and no one will waste money on such a useless thing."
Morris looked around at the people sitting there. He was right, even if the previous items were good, no one would spend a lot of money to buy them. Everyone's money was saved for the final 100,000-year-old soul bones, and no one knew the worth of it.
The price went up to ten million and one hundred thousand, and the increase was very small. Yan Wei also showed a disappointed expression. Of the items for auction, only this one was his private collection; the others were given to him by Qian Xunji as a prize. He had originally hoped to auction it for a high price to slap the Heaven Dou Imperial Family in the face and make a profit, but now his plan was somewhat ruined.
"Eleven million, one hundred and fifty thousand..."
"Twelve million..."
"Twelve million, two hundred and fifty thousand..."
The voices became fewer and fewer, and almost no one was bidding. Yan Wei was somewhat disappointed and asked:
"Twelve million, two hundred and fifty thousand, is there anyone else?"
"Hmph, a bunch of fools, fourteen million!"
Meng Qianji called out a price.
This increase wasn't too high. Mainly, Meng Qianji didn't have much money, and he didn't want to spend too much at once, so that others wouldn't see the trickery. Fourteen million was just right.
Yan Wei looked at Meng Qianji with some joy, and found that it was the big shot who had auctioned the inter-stellar soul guide last time, and a look of gratitude flashed in his eyes.
"Fourteen million once!"
"Fourteen million twice, three times, sold!"
Yan Wei impatiently hammered the small hammer, lest Meng Qianji regret it.
The others looked at Meng Qianji spending fourteen million to buy such a useless thing and cast looks of disdain.
He Chen, seeing it was Meng Qianji, knew that the item he was holding probably had another secret.
To avoid any other changes, he whispered to Yan Wei:
"Family head, then I'll take the Heart of the Sea God to deliver it to that person and get the money."
"Go, go, I feel relieved with you going."
Yan Wei said with a great mood.
Qian Xunji watched the Heart of the Sea God being auctioned and the way it was being delivered so impatiently, and a hint of suspicion flashed in his eyes.
"Alright, the second auction is over, let's see who will challenge the new champion."
"Oh, it's..."
"Contestant Ming Tian!"
