"Four hundred million gold soul coins for one!"
Jiang Li's gaze swept around, only to find no one was bidding any higher. He prepared to confirm and declare the Twin Contract the winner.
However, this wasn't the final word yet.
"Four hundred and five million!"
Just then, Xu Tianran of the Sun-Moon Empire raised the price again, his expression heavy. He was unwilling to relinquish the Twin Contract to anyone else.
Once Xu Tianran spoke, the competition resumed.
Over the next half hour, a glimmer of hope seemed to reignite within the various factions, unwilling to let the other side easily obtain the Twin Contract.
Thus, a new round of competition began.
"Four hundred and ten million!"
The Nine Treasures Glazed Tile Sect bid again, and Ning Qitian's face betrayed a desperate determination.
"Four hundred and thirty million!"
Du Bu Si of the Body Sect offered no less, his voice brimming with madness.
"Interesting!"
Di Tian hadn't expected these human soul masters to be so wealthy. He narrowed his eyes slightly, sat back in his seat, and gently tapped the armrest with his right hand.
He calmly continued to bid, saying, "450 million."
"470 million!"
Zhongli Wu of the Holy Spirit Church made another bid, a sinister smile on his face.
"500 million!"
Di Tian remained calm, raising the price by 30 million. After all, he didn't care about these few gold soul coins.
This time, the whole audience fell silent. This price was truly outrageous.
Elder Xuan of Shrek Academy was about to raise his auction board to join the competition.
At this moment, Elder Mu quickly reached out and grasped Elder Xuan's arm, saying in a heavy voice, "Give up! Stop arguing. Shrek Academy won't gain any advantage by competing with Di Tian."
Elder Mu's face was filled with helplessness and vicissitudes of life, his eyes revealing a deep understanding of reality.
"Given our current situation at Shrek Academy, it's better to avoid more trouble than more."
After careful consideration, Elder Mu slowly expressed his concerns.
His voice was deep and raspy, as if every word carried a heavy burden.
Di Tian was too powerful!
Shrek Academy's current strength was simply no match for him.
For now, Shrek Academy could only recuperate, quietly accumulating strength, and hoping for the emergence of another Ultimate Douluo master in the future, so that it could regain its footing in the turbulent Douluo Continent.
"But teacher, if you and Elder Xuan could perform a spirit fusion technique, no one would dare to attack Shrek Academy."
Yan Shaozhe, sitting nearby, couldn't help but express his inner thoughts.
Hope glimmered in his eyes, filled with anticipation for Shrek Academy's future.
According to the Xingchen Auction Pavilion, this twin contract possessed no restrictions; even if the two spirit masters' spirits were completely unrelated, they could still perform a spirit fusion technique.
This was undoubtedly a huge temptation for Shrek Academy.
If a level 98 and a level 99 Ultimate Douluo could perform a spirit fusion technique, they would be unrivaled on the Douluo Continent.
Even if they fought against Di Tian, the final outcome was still uncertain.
"You don't understand Di Tian. No one can stop him from getting what he wants. Even if we succeed in obtaining the Twin Contract, I don't think we can return to Shrek Academy safely."
This was Mu Lao's accurate analysis of the current situation after careful consideration.
His eyes were filled with deep worry, as if he had already foreseen the tragic outcome Shrek Academy would face if it forcibly seized the Twin Contract.
Di Tian's power was unfathomable, and he was backed by a powerful spirit beast force.
If Shrek Academy were to become an enemy of Di Tian, it would be in imminent danger.
Even if all the Sea God Pavilion elders of Shrek Academy were mobilized, they would be no match for Di Tian.
If a conflict ultimately broke out, any casualties would be a devastating loss for Shrek Academy.
Elder Mu was unwilling to wade into this mess.
"Alas!"
After hearing Elder Mu's explanation, Elder Xuan and Yan Shaozhe fell into a rare silence.
Their eyes revealed a hint of resentment and helplessness, but more importantly, understanding of Elder Mu's decision.
This was the truth!
Blame it on Di Tian's sheer strength.
Elder Xuan slowly lowered the sign in his hand, sighing inwardly. Shrek Academy had missed this opportunity.
"Five hundred million once!"
Jiang Li's voice echoed through the auction hall, his eyes scanning the room, waiting for any further bids.
"Five hundred million twice!"
Still no one raised the bid, the entire auction hall so quiet you could hear a pin drop.
Everyone held their breath, their eyes fixed on Jiang Li and the mysterious Twin Contract on the auction table.
At that moment, time seemed to freeze, and the entire world fell into an eerie silence.
"Five hundred million three times!"
Jiang Li's voice rang out again, this time with a hint of decisiveness. Then his hammer came down with a resounding clatter.
"Deal!"
Those two words echoed through the hall like a bell, announcing the end of this fierce competition.
The Twin Contract, finally, was won by Di Tian for the astonishing price of 500 million Gold Soul Coins!
The entire room was silent, everyone was stunned, their hearts filled with mixed emotions.
Even the other top powers felt the price was outrageous.
They also sensed the overwhelming power emanating from Di Tian.
Many people, unwilling to provoke the other party, forgo the auction!
After all, they are not alone.
They all have vast forces behind them, and a conflict with Di Tian would bring disaster to their entire faction.
Huo Yuhao, sitting behind Elder Mu, was also somewhat surprised by the final price of the Twin Contract.
He frowned slightly, a hint of confusion in his eyes.
At this moment, Huo Yuhao was most interested in the origin of the small green crystal.
Why was it worth 1 billion gold soul coins?
"Brother Tianmeng, Bingdi, do you know what that green crystal is?"
At this moment, Huo Yuhao's consciousness sank into his sea of consciousness and he softly asked Tianmeng and Bingdi.
Bingdi and Tianmeng were knowledgeable and might know the origin of the green crystal.
"I'm not sure about that either. This is the first time I've seen an object embodying such a vast amount of life force. I even suspect that the crystal is a solid solid condensed entirely from life force. The life force contained within it is simply unimaginable."
Bingdi's voice echoed through the sea of spirituality, with a hint of confusion and surprise.
