Chapter 9 Heaven Dou Great Soul Arena
The auction continued even after the whale glue was sold. A constant stream of items was being offered, many of which Yang Podi found very interesting. However, he was too young to use them even if he bought them, and he had no money on him.
Finally, the auction reached its final moment, with the grand finale being the auction's highlight. Unexpectedly, the highlight was a thousand-year-old soul bone.
Although Yang Podi looked down on the thousand-year-old soul bone, the scene was already in an uproar.
The host introduced with alluring charm: "Distinguished guests, as you can see, today's grand finale is a thousand-year-old Ironclad Bear right arm soul bone. The Ironclad Bear is extremely powerful in both strength and defense, making it very suitable for strength-type soul masters. It is truly a priceless treasure."
Looking at the red, gleaming soul bone on the big screen, Yang Podi felt a strange longing. Soul bones were indeed extremely valuable to soul masters, not just for providing a soul skill, but more importantly for improving physical attributes and even the speed of soul power circulation. No wonder they were called the Blood River Treasure.
However, her own mother, Niu Jinfeng, showed no reaction whatsoever when she looked at the soul bone: "Mom, this is a soul bone! Aren't you even a little bit tempted?"
Niu Jinfeng said with a disdainful look: "A thousand-year-old soul bone is really too cheap. Look at this soul bone, it's probably only a little over a thousand years old, not even two thousand years old. It's basically useless to your old mother."
Seeing his son's puzzled expression, he said, "Son, remember this: for a Soul Master, you must consider your own strength and potential. Otherwise, a Soul Bone is meaningless. Even the best thousand-year-old Soul Bone is only useful to Soul Masters below the Soul Saint level. This Soul Bone, which is just over a thousand years old, will no longer be of any use after the Soul King level. It might even become a burden."
"Think about it, my third soul skill is already stronger than this soul bone's skill, so what use is it to me? It might be of some use to some soul masters whose potential has reached its limit and who can no longer improve in their lifetime. My potential is far from reaching its limit."
"Mom, does our family have such a soul bone?"
"Of course we have them, but the value of soul bones of this level is too low for our Breaking Clan. Those with even a little talent don't bother to absorb them. They can only be used as collectibles or for soul masters who are stuck at a bottleneck for a long time."
Upon hearing this, Yang Podi fell into deep thought. This level of soul bone was indeed somewhat useless for a soul master family, let alone a powerful soul master family like the Po Clan. Back then, the Clear Sky Sect was able to produce so many Title Douluo after the corresponding event, probably because it utilized a similar foundation. The Clear Sky Sect has long been the number one sect in the world, so its similar foundation must be extremely terrifying.
Cheers and cheers erupted in the auction hall. In the end, the thousand-year-old soul bone actually sold for 50 gold soul coins, which surprised Yang Podi.
"Mom, didn't you say this soul bone wasn't very valuable? Why are they willing to spend so many gold soul coins to buy it?"
"Son, you're still too young to understand some things. The more precious something is in this world, the more likely it is to be in the hands of powerful forces. Believe me, if you take this thousand-year-old soul bone to the Haotian Sect, the elders there probably won't even give it a second glance. But for ordinary people, this soul bone is extremely rare."
Yang Podi glanced at the excited people on site, especially the person who obtained the soul bone, and couldn't help but sigh in his heart: Is this the difference in this world? In the fantasy world, is the difference between people really greater than the difference between people and dogs?
After the auction ended, Niu Jinfeng took her son to the back of the auction hall. After verification by several staff members, she received the whale glue she had won at the auction. After checking it and confirming its authenticity, she casually took out her Gold Soul Coin Card, swiped it for 50,000 gold coins, and then left.
It must be said that the people at the auction were quite well-mannered. Even when Niu Jinfeng, a woman, came with her son to buy whale glue, she didn't show any surprise.
After leaving the auction house, the two went directly to the Heaven Dou City Great Soul Arena.
The Grand Soul Arena was significantly larger than the auction house, stretching for several kilometers in length and width. There seemed to be no restrictions on entry and exit; no membership card was required. However, security inside was much tighter, as the Soul Arena was exclusively for Soul Masters. Niu Jinfeng went directly to the front desk and casually pulled out a black membership card: "Are there any unopened Soul Battles?"
The waitress, seeing the black card in Niu Jinfeng's hand, said very respectfully, "Dear black card member, there are four more Soul Battles today: one one-on-one between Soul Masters, one one-on-one between Soul Venerables, two two-on-two between Soul Venerables, and one one-on-one between Soul Kings. All four are strategic Soul Battles."
Niu Jinfeng thought for a moment: "Arrange that one-on-one Soul King duel for me, and get a private room."
"Yes, ma'am. This battle is in Arena Number Two, and there are private rooms available. I'll arrange it for you right away."
A private room was quickly arranged. After paying, Niu Jinfeng took the room number and left with her son. Clearly, the arena was accepting too many people and didn't offer any shuttle service.
"Mom, what is the second arena in the Soul Arena? Are there many Soul Arenas in there?"
"Son, there are of course many Soul Arenas in the Soul Arena, and each Soul Arena is of different sizes. It seems there are more than ten Soul Arenas in total. Soul Arena No. 1 is the main Soul Arena, where Soul Emperor-level Soul Battles or team Soul Battles are usually held."
"Mom, I just saw a lot of people walking around near the front desk. What were they doing?"
"That's the arena for betting. Everyone can place bets on matches they like. Each betting match has a certain odds. If you win, you can receive the corresponding amount of money based on the odds."
"If I were to fight using my own Soul, could I bet on whether I would win or lose?"
Niu Jinfeng tapped Yang Podi's head: "Son, according to the rules of the Soul Arena, theoretically you can't bet on your own Soul Battle. But if you only bet on yourself to win, the Soul Arena usually won't restrict it. However, you can't bet on yourself or have someone close to you bet on your own Soul Battle to lose."
"But even this has its flaws, right?"
"Son, you underestimate the Soul Arena. The Soul Arena has very strict control over the wins and losses in the arena, and it has a very powerful background. No one dares to deliberately bet on themselves to make money."
"Mom, is the Soul Arena really that powerful? Is it even more powerful than our Clear Sky Sect?"
"Son, what are you thinking? What power could be stronger than our Clear Sky Sect? However, all the major powers on the entire Douluo Continent are related to the Soul Arena, just like the Clear Sky Sect also has a certain share. Therefore, the Soul Battles in the Soul Arena are relatively fair, and no one dares to offend all these major powers at the same time."
After saying these words, the two arrived at the door of the private room, showed their number plates to the guard, and then entered the room.
