Douluo 2: Way of Fake God With Soul Tools

"This piece has good strength; let's go with it!"

He placed the metal chunk down with satisfaction and said, "Add it to my auction expenses this time."

Qiu Yu nodded respectfully.

Su Luoheng was very pleased with it.

He had been struggling to find a material hard enough.

This piece of blue metal had a unique texture.

It was incredibly hard, far surpassing other Grade 4 soul tool materials he had encountered, and carried a faint chill. Such a high-hardness material would be perfect for testing his listed engraving knife.

Curious, Su Luoheng asked, "What's this thing called? I've never seen it before."

Qiu Yu explained respectfully, "It's called 'Ice Crystal Dark Iron.' It can only be found in extremely cold environments, like the extreme northern regions, which is why it's exceptionally tough and an excellent material for making soul tool cores."

"From the outer regions of the extreme north?" Su Luoheng inquired.

Qiu Yu nodded. "Our mining teams are always at risk of soul beast attacks, so the annual output is limited. It's normal if you haven't heard of it."

"I see~"

Hearing this, Su Luoheng nodded, lost in thought.

Seeing he wasn't needed for the moment, Qiu Yu instinctively withdrew to the door.

Meanwhile, the auction continued.

Following the Soul Devouring Knife, the next four centerpiece items became increasingly impressive, even including an eighth-level soul tool!

But these kinds of auction items weren't what Su Luoheng was interested in.

For him, obtaining the Soul Devouring Knife was the biggest gain from this auction.

Even if the following items were priced dozens or even hundreds of times higher, they couldn't compare to the value of this engraving knife crafted from Life Gold!

Still, watching the action was exciting.

At one point, all nine VIP rooms were bidding at once.

The auction prices soared, easily breaking the million mark.

The prices rose so quickly, it was like watching a rocket take off—truly astonishing.

Su Luoheng had now seen what it really meant to throw money around, and he gained an even deeper understanding of just how coveted high-level soul tools truly were!

His annual earnings were just a fraction of what was being thrown around here.

The final ten items each experienced fierce bidding wars.

The audience was thrilled, too; this kind of intense competition could only be seen at a top-tier auction.

...

...

By the time the auction ended, it was already late at night.

Back at the hotel, the first thing Su Luoheng did was take out the Soul Devouring Knife from his storage ring.

The knife's corrosive power was formidable, and he was genuinely worried it might damage the ring that his mentor, Teacher Ran, had given him—a Grade 6 storage soul tool.

After a quick inspection, everything seemed fine for now.

The Grade 6 soul tool was sturdy enough, and the blade hadn't been stored for long.

The Soul Devouring Knife now lay on the table.

Looking closely, the blade emitted a chilling, fierce aura, and in just a short while, it had already left several deep gashes on the tabletop.

"Phew…"

"Senior, Senior?"

With the Life Gold so close at hand, Su Luoheng calmed himself, closed his eyes, and began calling out to Electrolux in his mental sea.

However, it seemed that Electrolux had fallen asleep again, as he didn't respond no matter how much Su Luoheng called.

Su Luoheng felt a bit helpless.

He was perfectly fine during the auction, and now he'd just fallen asleep?

Without purging the curse on the blade, he didn't dare use it.

But soon enough, an idea flashed through Su Luoheng's mind, and a sly smile crept onto his face: it was just a matter of using the same trick to wake him up again!

With his previous experience, Su Luoheng handled it with ease this time.

In no time, he successfully channeled the Soul Devouring Blade's aura into his mental sea.

As expected, sensing the menacing aura, the gray bead in his mental sea began to spin, releasing a layer of gray mist that neutralized the aura.

Under the stimulation of this aura, Electrolux finally awakened.

"Life Gold? Kid, did you actually manage to get it?"

"You're finally awake!"

Su Luoheng exhaled in relief and quickly asked for help. "Senior, I have the carving knife, but how do I remove the curse on it?"

"Haha! Excellent!"

Electrolux laughed heartily, his tone full of delight and satisfaction.

"Kid, relax completely and temporarily hand control of your body over to me. I'll need to use your body to remove what's on the knife."

Electrolux gave a brief explanation to avoid any misunderstandings.

"Understood."

Su Luoheng nodded, doing as Electrolux instructed.

Electrolux had always been open and trustworthy in both character and actions, earning Su Luoheng's confidence.

Besides, in his current state, if he wanted to take control, he wouldn't need Su Luoheng's permission.

A gray mist quickly enveloped his entire mental sea, and even around Su Luoheng's physical body, a faint layer of gray energy began to swirl.

Su Luoheng felt his body stiffen as his spirit was abruptly "pushed" out of his physical form.

In that instant, his consciousness transferred to the mental sea, leaving Electrolux in control of his body.

In the outside world, "Su Luoheng" opened his eyes.

His once black pupils had turned a distinct gray, and his entire aura had transformed dramatically.

A sacred energy radiated from him, akin to the divine essence of an Angel Martial Soul.

He lifted his hand, slowly clenching and unclenching it.

The sensation of physical touch was both familiar and foreign, stirring a hint of complex emotion in his gray eyes.

Then, he raised his gaze, locking onto the Soul Devouring Knife on the table.

In the next moment, a faint gray light shot from his eyes, like a tangible force, landing directly on the engraving knife.

The instant Electrolux's gray spiritual power touched the blade, it began to tremble violently, as though it possessed a mind of its own.

The blade quivered and emitted a sound like a piercing, anguished wail—a chilling hum that could unnerve even those with a strong will.

At the same time, within his mental sea…

Though Su Luoheng couldn't control his body, he could sense everything happening outside, though he remained bound to his mental sea, unable to act.

It was like viewing the world from a third-person perspective in a game.

The sensation…well…it was strange, as though he was bound hand and foot. It felt highly uncomfortable.

But he was soon captivated by the spectacle of the Soul Devouring Blade.

Simultaneously, Electrolux's voice echoed within Su Luoheng's mental sea.
