Chapter 87: War Weapons
Imagine this: When a strong attack-type Soul Master uses all their power to unleash a massive attack, but it's easily blocked by the puppet, as if the attack was just a drop in the ocean.
The sense of helplessness from that is enough to make any Soul Master feel utterly desperate.
"I believe you've seen this auction item before; it's the same type of puppet as the one stationed at the Star Auction Pavilion's gate," Jiang Li's voice rang out again, breaking the crowd's deep thoughts.
"This humanoid object, which we at the Star Auction Pavilion call a puppet, can also be categorized as a type of Soul Guidance Device," Jiang Li continued, his tone filled with a profound understanding of Soul Guidance knowledge.
"However, the agility and attributes of this puppet cannot be compared to those of other Soul Guidance Devices."
"This puppet, when fully powered, can reach the strength of a Title Douluo-level Soul Master."
"This humanoid puppet is made from precious metals, so its defense is extremely powerful. It can remain undefeated even among Title Douluo-level Soul Masters of the same rank."
Jiang Li's words were like a bombshell, once again stirring up a wave of shock among the crowd.
Many of the Soul Masters, already curious about this puppet, were now even more astonished by its incredible abilities.
"This thing is no weaker than the previous auction item, the Martial Soul Replication Mirror."
The crowd couldn't help but silently acknowledge.
Although, in some ways, this puppet wasn't as incredibly powerful as the Martial Soul Replication Mirror, which could copy Martial Souls, it had a much broader range of uses.
In a sense, this puppet was a true Title Douluo-level powerhouse.
And it was a loyal companion that would never tire or betray, which made every powerful figure in the room stunned.
Moreover, the puppet was entirely made of metal, so there was no concern about it getting damaged.
In battle, it would not suffer injuries like a human Soul Master, nor would its combat power significantly drop due to wounds.
It was like an inexhaustible war machine, always maintaining its peak combat power.
"This is a puppet? Incredible, I never thought that this metal lump could unleash the power of a Title Douluo."
"Just as expected from the Star Auction Pavilion, every item is a masterpiece."
A young Soul Master in the crowd couldn't help but exclaim, his eyes full of admiration and envy.
"But the real question is, how do we control this humanoid puppet?" another Soul Master asked, voicing the question that everyone was thinking.
In an instant, all eyes turned back to Jiang Li, hoping he would provide a satisfying answer.
Jiang Li, having already anticipated this reaction, took two slow steps forward and stood still, before gradually explaining to the crowd.
"Controlling this puppet is not difficult. On the chest of the puppet, there is a unique formation. By using this formation, you can fully control the puppet, and the only required energy source is Soul Power."
"Whether the Soul Master inputs their own Soul Power into the puppet, or uses some Soul Guidance Devices to replenish the Soul Power, either way will work to control the puppet."
Jiang Li explained in detail the methods for controlling the puppet, leaving no detail unaddressed.
"And this puppet will continuously absorb Soul Power, though it absorbs relatively little. If you want to fight for an extended period, relying solely on the puppet's absorption of Soul Power will not be enough."
Jiang Li added, giving everyone a better understanding of the puppet's Soul Power absorption mechanism.
"This puppet can store Soul Power for long periods, so you don't need to worry about the Soul Power dissipating if the puppet isn't frequently used."
"The amount of Soul Power contained in the puppet determines how long it can fight."
Finally, Jiang Li concluded, clearly explaining the relationship between the puppet's combat time and Soul Power storage.
Having patiently answered all the questions in the crowd's hearts, the Soul Masters all wore understanding expressions and couldn't help but breathe a sigh of relief.
It seemed that the most troublesome issues had been resolved, and they secretly rejoiced.
This made them marvel again at the puppet—it was truly a perfect war weapon.
Its appearance could possibly change the entire warfare structure on the Douluo Continent.
It was hard to imagine that if more of these puppets appeared, it would mean that a true war machine could be created.
One could imagine a team made up of dozens of humanoid puppets, forming an iron-clad army. They would feel no pain, and each one would have the power of a Title Douluo.
A puppet army on the battlefield would certainly send enemies fleeing in terror.
What a shocking scene that would be! The image involuntarily appeared in everyone's mind.
Every faction secretly plotted in their minds, determined to secure this puppet at any cost.
"The general purpose of this puppet has been explained. The starting bid is 50 million Gold Soul Coins, with each raise no less than 10 million Gold Soul Coins. The auction for this item officially begins!"
After introducing the puppet's capabilities, Jiang Li took a deep breath and gently struck the auction hammer.
With the sharp sound of the hammer, the auction officially entered its intense and heated phase.
Many Soul Masters eagerly raised their bid cards, jumping into the competition. Their eyes were filled with determination and resolve.
Winning this puppet meant adding a Title Douluo-level powerhouse to their faction, and an extremely powerful one at that, even compared to other Title Douluo-level Soul Masters.
This was a highly profitable deal for any faction.
After all, becoming a Title Douluo was an unimaginable difficulty for any Soul Master.
Not only did they need a top-tier Martial Soul, but they also required luck, opportunities, and a series of other factors.
The number of Title Douluo-level Soul Masters in the entire Douluo Continent was so rare, and the chances of an ordinary Soul Master breaking through to that level were so low, it was almost negligible.
Moreover, cultivating a Title Douluo-level Soul Master within a faction required endless effort.
From precious cultivation resources to the guidance of skilled mentors, and countless days and nights of arduous training, every step was crucial.
But now, for just a large sum of Gold Soul Coins, one could acquire a completely loyal Title Douluo-level powerhouse.
How could anyone resist such an exciting offer?
