Chapter 194: The Wisdom of Du Busi
"Alright, I am willing to go crazy with you, but remember your previous promise. This time, I am betting everything on Mingde Hall!"
"It must succeed; we cannot afford to fail."
Jing Hongchen, after contemplating for a moment, gradually made up his mind.
After all, this was a gamble. If successful, Mingde Hall would definitely rise to the next level.
If they failed, everything they had done would turn to ashes.
"Very well, Hall Master Jing, you will thank yourself for this decision today. I will provide you with a large amount of funds, and you will personally handle the bidding. I have sent a signal, and many powerful people will come to help us leave Star Auction Pavilion."
Xu Tianran showed a smile full of ambition, then casually leaned against a chair with his hands in his pockets, preparing for the next steps.
As Jing Hongchen had thought, this auction item was a small tower artifact containing the inheritance of the divine position. All the powerful people of Douluo Continent had their eyes fixed on it.
No matter which force acquires this auction item today, they will not be able to leave Star Auction Pavilion easily.
After this auction ends, a great battle is inevitable.
"The final auction item's effects are as such; I won't elaborate further. The starting price for the final auction item is 500 million Gold Soul Coins, and each bid must increase by no less than 50 million Gold Soul Coins."
"Let the auction begin!"
At this moment, Jiang Li directly announced the starting price for the final auction item.
After all, this item contained the power of a godly powerhouse, and its value could not be low.
Even though the starting price was so high, the soul masters from many top forces below didn't show surprise.
At this point, Xuan Lao from Shrek Academy unhesitatingly raised his auction paddle, joining the upcoming competition.
"500 million Gold Soul Coins!"
"600 million Gold Soul Coins!"
Following right behind was Haotian Sect, and Titan also raised his paddle, wanting to bid for the artifact on behalf of Haotian Sect and Dong'er.
This was related to Haotian Sect's future foundation and Dong'er's safety. There could be no mistakes.
Even if they had to exhaust the entire Haotian Sect's accumulation over tens of thousands of years, they had to win this artifact.
Hearing the price from her second father, Wang Dong'er's eyes flashed with hesitation.
After all, it was easy to predict that no matter who obtained this auction item, once the auction ended, they would be met with a fierce battle.
Thus, Wang Dong'er left her seat and walked over to Titan and Niu Tian's side.
"Big Father, Second Father, are you going to bid for this artifact?"
Wang Dong'er asked with some worry in her tone.
"Yes, you know that with the appearance of Star Auction Pavilion, the strength of the forces on the continent has grown significantly, and our Haotian Sect has missed many opportunities. Therefore, we plan to acquire this artifact to strengthen Haotian Sect's power and foundation."
Niu Tian gently patted Wang Dong'er on the head and said slowly.
But there were reasons he hadn't told her. After all, Dong'er's memories had been sealed by Tang San, and now was not the time to let her know the truth.
"But Big Father, Second Father, why don't we give up? If Haotian Sect truly wins this, we will surely become a target for all the forces on Douluo Continent."
"Moreover, Big Father and Second Father, your strength is at the Limit Douluo level, but we will inevitably face a hard battle ahead."
Wang Dong'er voiced her concerns. In her opinion, no matter how precious the artifact was, it could never compare to the safety of Big Father and Second Father.
"Don't worry, Dong'er, we know what we're doing."
Niu Tian and Titan, hearing Dong'er's concerns, showed appreciative expressions before saying gently.
Hearing this, Wang Dong'er could only sigh quietly and didn't return to her original seat. She thought that, for the coming crisis, she would face it together with Big Father and Second Father.
"1 billion Gold Soul Coins!"
As more forces joined the competition, Jing Hongchen also raised his paddle.
Since he was already in cooperation with Xu Tianran, no matter what, he must win this auction item today.
With the financial strength of the Sun Moon Empire and Mingde Hall's accumulated wealth through soul guides, they could definitely surpass the wealth of all the top forces present.
When it came to financial strength, this auction item was bound to be theirs.
"1.1 billion Gold Soul Coins!"
Following closely, Zhong Li Wu from the Holy Spirit Sect also participated in the competition, unwilling to let go of this artifact.
Time passed, and the top forces continued to bid for the final auction item, but the Body Sect remained extremely quiet.
"Master, should we make a move? If this artifact falls into the hands of other forces, our Body Sect's position will be shaken again."
An elder from the Body Sect asked Du Busi for advice.
It had been a while since the bidding started, yet the sect leader had not made a move yet.
"Don't rush. The key right now is not whether we bid for this artifact, but how we will safely leave Star Auction Pavilion after acquiring it."
Du Busi expressed his inner concerns.
Even though he had obtained a top-tier treasure from the Star Treasure Vault last time and had broken through to the Limit Douluo level, due to the Body Sect's grand formation, his breakthrough energy hadn't leaked out, and as a Body Martial Soul, no one could sense his Limit Douluo strength.
But even at Limit Douluo, he still didn't have absolute confidence in leaving safely.
This time, in addition to the strong warriors from the Body Sect, there were also young disciples. Losing any of them would be a loss for the Body Sect.
If it was just him, there would be no problem, but he had so many people to protect.
"But Master, your strength has already broken through to Limit Douluo, and we are the Body Martial Soul. Our combat strength is stronger than other soul masters of the same level."
An elder said in confusion.
According to logic, with Du Busi 's Limit Douluo strength, he should have no enemies on Douluo Continent.
"Sigh, you don't understand. The waters on Douluo Continent run deeper than you think. On the surface, the Holy Spirit Sect has two Limit Douluo, Ye Xishui and Long Xiaoyao; Shrek Academy also has two, Mu En and Xuan Zi."
"But don't forget the Haotian Sect that took action earlier. From what I sense, the two middle-aged men also have Limit Douluo strength, and if I take action, I might not be able to defeat either of them."
Du Busi 's gaze turned towards Haotian Sect with deep apprehension. The auras of the two were like deep oceans, something he could not resist.
After this, the Body Sect members fell silent, realizing they had forgotten about Haotian Sect.
It was estimated that there were currently six known Limit Douluo on the continent, and it was unknown if there were any hidden powers.
Thinking of this, the elders couldn't help but inhale sharply, realizing how far-reaching their master's plans were.
There were so many powerful beings on the continent, and even if their master, with the Body Martial Soul, had reached Limit Douluo strength, it would be impossible to fight against six Limit Douluo at the same time.
