Chapter 32: The Ten Thousand-Year Soul Bone at the Auction
When Dai Weis heard this, he raised the corner of his mouth and said with a light smile,
"Haha, I'm your captain. In front of outsiders, we must show the imposing manner of the Star Luo Royal Academy."
Dong Hui added excitedly, "Big Sis, since you've already obtained your fourth spirit ring, how about we go to the Star Luo Auction House today?"
Just like the auction house in Heaven Dou City, Star Luo City naturally had its own, and it offered everything imaginable.
Dong Hui continued, "I meant to tell you three days ago, but you weren't back yet. I got news that the finale of tonight's auction is a ten-thousand-year soul bone."
She then glanced at Dai Weis's tall and commanding figure with admiration.
"Captain, you're already at level 48. If you can obtain a suitable ten-thousand-year soul bone, your strength will definitely rise even higher. That'll give us at least an extra 10% chance of beating the Spirit Hall team in three years!"
"Mm, Xiaohui, you're right," Dai Weis nodded. He wouldn't bother with thousand-year soul bones, but a ten-thousand-year one was a different story. Even if the attribute didn't match him, he could always exchange soul bones later on.
Having made up his mind, he smiled and said,
"In that case, let's go take a look. Zhuyun, Zhuqing, what do you two think?"
Zhu Zhuyun nodded seriously. "Weis, I'll follow your lead. A ten-thousand-year soul bone is something we absolutely cannot miss."
Zhu Zhuqing added sweetly, "Brother-in-law, I want to go too!"
"Alright, then we'll all go together. Xiaohui, when does the auction begin?"
Dong Hui replied, "It starts at ten o'clock tonight. That's still three hours away."
"Then let's eat first, and head there after dinner," Dai Weis suggested.
Everyone agreed, and he went to buy some raw meat and fresh lettuce, then prepared a hot pot for the group.
With so many people around, hot pot was the obvious choice. There was no such food in the Douluo Continent, so everyone was initially shocked. Even Zhu Zhuyun, who insisted she'd rather starve than eat something so strange, was swayed.
But once she caught a whiff of the fragrant broth, her resistance crashed under the "Jingze Theorem", and she cried out,
"It smells too good!"
Then proceeded to eat more than anyone else.

That night, the group arrived at the Star Luo Auction House. After showing their Star Luo Royal Token, the staff quickly ushered them into VIP seats with all-you-can-drink red wine and refreshments.
Soon, the auction officially began.
A fiery red-haired beauty slowly walked onto the stage, her every step exuding confidence. Behind her, servants wheeled out a massive iron cage.
With a graceful smile, she introduced herself,
"Welcome, esteemed guests, to tonight's auction. I am Honglian, your host for the evening. Let me present our first auction item."
Honglian lifted the black cloth covering the cage—
Revealing the "item" inside.
Inside were a pair of beautiful twin girls, posed suggestively. Their clothes barely covered the essentials—they were practically exposed.
The sight was a visual shock that sent waves through the crowd. Several male guests even began engaging in indecent acts with their female companions in public.
The audience was full of nobles and the rich, many of whom were accompanied by multiple women. Even Dai Weis had four stunning girls around him—
And one more girl who looked dangerously underage, the kind that could get someone three years minimum, life at most.
Anyone who saw the scene would exclaim:
"The Crown Prince really knows how to live!"
Upon seeing the cage, Zhu Zhuyun immediately reached out and covered Dai Weis' eyes, her tone full of warning,
"Weis! You're not allowed to look! If you dare open your eyes, I won't talk to you anymore!"
"…I still have Zhuqing."
"I won't let Zhuqing look at you either! Just try it!"
Zhu Zhuyun even preemptively imagined Dai Weis' humiliation, tightening her grip over his eyes to block his sight completely.
"Okay, okay, I won't look!" Dai Weis chuckled inwardly.
What's so amazing about this? In my past life, I watched every genre imaginable—nothing could tempt me at this level anymore.
From the stage, Honglian's sultry voice continued,
"Gentlemen, these twin sisters have been carefully trained and are now extremely obedient.
If you buy them, you're guaranteed an unforgettable experience. And they are both… virgins. The starting price is 100,000 gold soul coins. The bidding is now open!"
"I bid 110,000 gold soul coins!"
"I'll go 120,000!"
"150,000!"
With the announcement, the auction floor erupted in a frenzy. Many male VIPs shouted over one another, eager to claim the twin sisters.
Dai Weis did not participate, nor did he even look at the cage again. Although he sympathized with the girls' plight, there was nothing he could do in this moment. At best, he could ban such practices when he eventually became emperor.
In the end, the sisters were sold for 200,000 to a greasy, big-bellied middle-aged man.

The second auction item was a set of armor forged by Master Lou Gao, capable of withstanding an all-out blow from a Spirit King. The crowd buzzed with excitement.
Such durable armor was extremely attractive, especially for auxiliary-type spirit masters.
The next few items were relatively ordinary. Dai Weis stayed seated with his eyes closed, conserving his energy.
The only item that made him open his eyes early was the tenth item, a 3,000-year-old limb bone—unfortunately, it wasn't suitable for him or any of the girls.
—
"Alright, up next is the 50th auction item, one of the last two treasures tonight!"
Host Honglian picked up a dark green soul bone, holding it up with a smile.
From its shape, it was clearly a torso bone. A powerful wave of soul power emanated from it, drawing the attention of every soul master present—including Dai Weis, who immediately opened his eyes and muttered,
"That's at least a 20,000-year torso bone. More valuable than a limb bone."
Honglian beamed and continued,
"I'm sure all the soul masters here can sense its strength. This is a 20,000-year-old soul bone called the Toxic Compression Trunk Bone.
It was extracted by a soul master from a powerful Fallen Spirit Beast!
Once absorbed, it will increase back strength and muscle density, and more importantly—it comes with a soul bone skill.
As the name implies, Toxic Compression condenses all poisons in your body into a more potent, synthesized toxin. It can be used for both self-enhancement and as a weapon.
To soul masters with poison-based abilities, this is a rare treasure indeed!
Starting bid: 5 million gold soul coins. Bidding begins now!"
"Six million gold soul coins!" came Dai Weis' immediate offer.
He had no intention of letting this go. As the Crown Prince of Star Luo, his allowance alone exceeded six million.
With this soul bone, he was confident he could detoxify Dugu Bo's body, and possibly even enhance Dugu Bo's strength.
That kind of favor wouldn't just win over a Titled Douluo—it might also help obtain the Ice and Fire Yin Yang Well.
If Dugu Bo could be recruited into the Star Luo Empire, their national strength would rise drastically.
Even if not, simply gaining the goodwill of a Titled Douluo would be a huge asset.
