Douluo Continent: Become stronger by stealing Tang San's luck!

Chapter 1012 The Mermaid King's Guardian Heart

"Yes! You're right. We have another purpose this time, and this soul tool is not among my targets."

Tang Lan nodded in agreement.

After waiting for more than half an hour, the main auction house finally announced the start of the auction.

As the lights of the central exhibition booth converged, Ma Lin, the manager who had previously received Tang Lan and her two companions, took the stage first.

At this moment, she was wearing a black knee-length dress and dark red crystal high heels, exuding a noble aura like a black phoenix.

Combined with her fair skin and deep red lipstick, she exuded an aloofness that kept people at a distance.

But this aloofness possessed a powerful allure, drawing the attention of every man in the auction hall.

"I apologize for keeping you all waiting. I, Marlene Taylor, will be hosting the main auction today. I believe you are all already familiar with the rules of the auction. Without further ado, let's welcome the first item!"

"I believe you all already know the basic information about the Nine Dragons Town Cauldron. The starting price is 700,000 Gold Soul Coins, and each bid must be at least 10,000 Gold Soul Coins higher. The auction is now open!"

Almost the instant Marlene's voice fell, bidding figures appeared on the special walls of each private room.

The rate of increase only gradually slowed down after rising from 700,000 to 930,000.

Finally, one of the private rooms was offered at a price of 1.15 million, instantly putting it more than 150,000 behind the previous bidder.

After a brief silence, someone offered 1.2 million.

The bidding war quickly brought the price above 1.5 million, and finally one side offered 1.73 million, silencing the entire room.

"One million seven hundred and thirty thousand gold soul coins. Does anyone here want to offer a higher price?"

Marin, on the court, smiled as he looked at the various private rooms outside.

Although she couldn't see the people inside those private rooms, she knew clearly that they had a complete view of the entire venue.

After the silence came a deathly silence; no one spoke.

This time, Marlene didn't even need to count down; she directly announced, "Then this Nine Dragons Domain-Suppressing Cauldron has been confirmed as the item won by the VIP in VIP Room Number Six. Congratulations on winning this item."

"Our staff will deliver this item to you shortly."

"Now, please welcome our next item to the auction!"

With a smile, Ma Lin scanned the area outside the arena, then made a gesture towards the backstage area.

Soon a beautiful woman in a cheongsam came up carrying a tray.

Marlene removed the red cloth, revealing a wooden brocade box to everyone, but it wasn't the actual scene.

Instead, the images were magnified perfectly on the walls of each private room using a special soul tool, creating a scene that felt like being there in person.

The box was opened, and inside lay a sapphire pendant.

However, everyone present noticed that this thing was not simple, because there were many barely perceptible ancient inscriptions on the sapphire.

These things are invisible at first glance unless you look at them with a magnifying glass.

As soon as the sapphire pendant appeared, a powerful mist of soul energy immediately gathered around it.

Then a huge mermaid phantom suddenly appeared behind Marlene, with her hands placed on her chest in a praying gesture.

A blue shield appeared around Marin, with runes flashing on it, firmly protecting him.

At the same time, information about this soul tool was displayed on the walls of each private room.

The Mermaid King's Guardian Heart is a ninth-tier defensive soul tool that can withstand attacks from soul masters below level 95.

Although the description is brief, the fact that it can only withstand attacks from a level 95 Soul Master is enough to make people's hearts flutter.

It's important to know that there are very few Super Douluo who can reach level 95 on the entire continent.

With this soul tool, unless those few peak Douluo make a move, one can completely roam the continent with impunity.

"The starting bid for this soul tool is two million, with each bid increment no less than fifty thousand. The auction begins now!"

Marlene was extremely confident in this soul tool and didn't need to say much; she directly announced the start of the auction.

This time, the bidding was even more intense than before, with some wealthy individuals raising the price by 100,000 or even 200,000 instead of 50,000.

Although the starting price was only two million, it broke through three million in just a few breaths.

During this time, Tang Lan symbolically offered 3.3 million, but it was quickly overshadowed by the other private rooms.

Seeing this, Lin Ni said indignantly, "These people are too rich. They spend money without batting an eye. They're about to break four million."

Jona, standing to the side, smiled faintly and then spoke:

The latest novel is first published here!

"Ninth-tier soul tools are inherently very valuable, with defensive and support-type soul tools being the most expensive!"

"After all, these are things that can save lives. No one is willing to save money on these things. They would rather spend more gold soul coins to get a better soul tool for self-defense."

"After all, once the person is gone, leaving behind anything else is irrelevant to me!"

After hearing this, Lin Ni nodded, looking rather adorable as if she understood but not quite.

This young lady grew up in a large family; you could say she was born with a silver spoon in her mouth.

Having received meticulous care and protection from their family, they had little contact with these fighting, killing, life and death situations.

Tang Lan could tell from her conversation with Lin Ni that day that the little girl was innocent and cute, with no blemishes in her heart.

"Four and a half million!"

Tang Lan rested her chin on her right hand and quietly observed the situation on the field.

Seeing that the bidding was slowing down, he immediately added 100,000 gold soul coins to the base of 4.4 million.

A typical ninth-tier soul tool costs between three and four million.

Rare specimens can fetch four to five million, and Tang Lan's offer of four and a half million can be considered the highest price ever offered.

While this Guardian Heart of the Fishman King is quite good, it's still far from reaching the rarest tier.

The room quickly fell silent. Tang Lan only made two bids, but both were at the most crucial moments, when she made the most accurate price decisions.

Several bidders began to hesitate, because continuing to raise the price would be counterproductive, even far exceeding the intrinsic value of the item.

In the end, no one raised the price any further.

Ma Lin's gaze also fell on the private room number 12 where Tang Lan was.

He then revealed a meaningful smile and said, "Let us congratulate the VIP in room number 12 on winning this item. Our staff will deliver the item to your room shortly."

"Without further ado, let's take a look at the next item!"

As the lights changed, the next item was brought out for auction. (End of Chapter)
