At the same time, an invisible and powerful aura, centered on the puppet, spread out in all directions.
This aura was like a surging ocean wave, carrying an endless sense of oppression that made people breathless.
"No, don't touch it!"
Xuan Lao reacted quickly. He shouted, stretched out his hand and grabbed Fan Yu's arm, pulling it back with force.
At the same time, he mobilized his powerful soul power to form a defensive barrier in front of him, trying to resist this invisible aura.
After a while, when Fan Yu left the puppet at a certain distance, the high-level puppet regained its composure. The light in its eyes disappeared, and the powerful aura also dissipated. It just quietly guarded the door of the Star Auction Pavilion.
Fan Yu was already sweating on his forehead and his face was pale.
The aura just now made him feel a real sense of fatal crisis, and he said with lingering fear.
"If nothing unexpected happens, it should be a soul guide device, but this kind of humanoid soul guide device has never appeared before."
"It can actually detect, defend, and attack on its own without any human control. This soul guide device technology is incredibly powerful, seemingly surpassing all the soul guide device systems currently being researched on the Douluo Continent."
"And the aura this soul guide device just unleashed is comparable to that of a Titled Douluo."
Fan Yu spoke with increasing excitement, his eyes filled with curiosity and a desire to explore.
He couldn't wait to witness the true level of soul guide device accomplishments possessed by the person who created this humanoid soul guide device.
Meanwhile, Huo Yuhao, standing Fan Yu, was equally intrigued by the puppet.
His eyes gleamed with curiosity, but the powerful aura the puppet had just unleashed left him with a lingering fear. He didn't dare approach, fearing the puppet would suddenly attack him.
With his current strength, his small frame would surely not be able to withstand it.
"The aura it just unleashed was roughly that of a Level 95 Titled Douluo,"
Elder Xuan said solemnly, having experienced it most profoundly.
"This puppet must have been assigned by someone behind the scenes to protect the Star Auction Pavilion. Let's prepare for the auction first."
Moon En interrupted the discussion, a glint of wisdom in his eyes.
He thought, if nothing unexpected happened, this humanoid soul guide must have been created by the Star Auction Pavilion.
Moreover, the main event of the auction was yet to come; they couldn't afford to lose time over a puppet.
"Alright,"
Moon En said. Reluctantly, Fan Yu and Huo Yuhao turned their gaze away from the puppet and entered the Star Auction Pavilion.
They found seats and sat down, awaiting the auction's start.
As time slowly passed, the leading factions of the Douluo Continent arrived at the Star Auction Pavilion.
The Nine Treasures Glazed Tile Sect, the Star Luo Empire, the Douling Empire, the Heaven Dou Empire, the Zhu Family, the Dai Family, and so on arrived one after another.
Soon the Holy Spirit Cult also arrived, but the people who came this time were not Ye Xishui and Long Xiaoyao, but the current leader of the Holy Spirit Cult: Zhongli Wu.
Zhongli Wu is a level 98 peak Douluo powerhouse. His appearance made the atmosphere of the entire auction hall become a little depressing.
Xuan Lao sat in his seat, his eyes constantly scanning the crowd.
He had been observing the people who came today, and when he saw that Ye Xishui and Long Xiaoyao were not among the people from the Holy Spirit Cult, he immediately breathed a sigh of relief.
In his mind, he couldn't help but recall the scene of the end of the last auction. The thrilling scene is still vivid in his mind.
Fortunately, those two did not come this time, otherwise, this auction might have set off another wave.
"Du Bu Si from the Body Sect is here too. I thought they would not come this time."
At that moment, Elder Xuan's gaze suddenly caught sight of Du Bu Si. He whispered, a hint of surprise flickering across his face.
Upon hearing this, Moon En's gaze fell upon Du Bu Si's face.
Du Bu Si naturally noticed Moon En and Elder Xuan, and his eyes darkened, a glint of cold light flashing across them.
He walked straight to a seat and sat down, pondering.
He felt that the last auction's winner, Shrek Academy, had simply been lucky, having snagged a bargain.
If he had actually attended the auction, who would have won?
Half an hour passed quickly, and the top powers of Douluo Continent began arriving one after another.
Jiang Li stood at the window of his room, observing the people below.
However, he felt a sense of disappointment when he discovered that Di Tian, the Soul Beast faction, had not sent anyone.
As time was drawing to a close, he began preparing to present the auction items and officially begin the auction.
Jing Hongchen and the others, seated on the third floor, felt a heavy heart.
Their hearts were filled with shock, and they couldn't calm down for a long time.
Beside him, Xiao Hongchen asked, bewildered, "Grandpa, what's the origin of that iron lump at the door?"
"Why does it emit such a powerful aura? And even with my unsighted eyes, I can't find the key to it."
Xiao Hongchen was filled with curiosity and confusion. He carefully observed the puppet for a long time, but still couldn't grasp its secrets.
Jing Hongchen frowned, pondered for a moment, and said, "I'm afraid that humanoid soul guide device may have surpassed the level of a ninth-level soul guide device to a certain extent. I'm also very curious about the person behind the development of this humanoid soul guide device."
Jing Hongchen's eyes flashed with curiosity. As a soul guide, he had a natural interest and desire to explore soul guide devices.
This mysterious humanoid soul guide device undoubtedly piqued his curiosity.
Although Mingdetang had also been secretly researching humanoid soul guide devices, they were no match for the humanoid soul guide device at the entrance of the Xingchen Auction Pavilion.
The gap was simply too great!
Thinking back to his previous experience, Jing Hongchen still felt a lingering fear.
He had originally planned to examine this unique soul guide, but as he approached, the humanoid soul guide suddenly unleashed a Titled Douluo-level attack.
He hurriedly activated one of his own Level 8 defensive soul guides to try to block the attack.
However, the humanoid soul guide simply waved its hand and completely destroyed it.
Had he not evacuated in time, he would have been seriously injured.
This was his first glimpse into the terrifying power of the humanoid soul guide at the Starry Auction Pavilion.
Its sheer power was simply unimaginable.
"Let's attend the next auction first. As for the secrets behind this humanoid soul guide, we'll see if we can ask the Starry Auction Pavilion after the auction,"
Jing Hongchen said, shaking his head after a moment of deep thought.
He knew that the most important thing right now was to attend the auction; he couldn't let a soul guide distract him from his business.
Furthermore, he didn't want to bring unnecessary trouble to himself and Mingde Hall by acting rashly.
