Chapter 126 The Auction Arrived as Promised
Although the Starlight Auction House is the largest auction house in the Star Luo Empire, its appearance is not remarkable. In fact, judging from its appearance, you would think that the Starlight Auction House is not that big.
But only when you really walk into it will you understand why the Starlight Auction House has become the number one auction house in the Star Luo Empire.
This was not the first time Huo Yuhao had come here. For him, returning to the Starlight Auction House even felt like returning home.
But this is not the case for others.
After entering the Starlight Auction House from the red carpet, many people showed curiosity in their eyes. After all, even Shrek’s students rarely see such a grand auction house.
After going through several complicated procedures, a maid in red led them to a private room.
"I don't know what the items are being auctioned today?" Xiaoxiao asked boredly while sitting on the sofa.
“Today’s theme is soul guides, and the items for auction are mainly soul guides below level six. According to the internal classification method of the Starlight Auction House, the auction specification this time should be level four.” Huo Yuhao said softly and familiarly.
"Yuhao, how do you know?" Wang Dong asked curiously.
Yes, Wang Dong also came along this time.
Huo Yuhao knew that Wang Dong had been unable to use soul guides because of Tang San's spiritual consciousness, and Wang Dong himself was very resistant to soul guides because of this.
Whenever he thought of this incident, Huo Yuhao would feel that the high and mighty Lord Seagod really had no moral qualities as a parent.
Just because he himself resists soul guides and dislikes the development of soul guides, he passes this twisted thought to his daughter in disguise. This behavior is really hateful.
Of course, maybe in his eyes, Wang Dong is just a puppet, just a bait, and cannot be considered his real daughter.
Wang Dong didn’t want to come in at first, but Huo Yuhao told him that he was just here to take a look, just in case he found someone he liked.
Wang Dong then followed in.
At the same time, just as Huo Yuhao and others entered the auction hall, at the other end of the auction hall, a noble lady was talking to an auctioneer from the auction hall.
"You mean that thing will definitely appear tonight?" asked the Duchess, who came to the Starlight Auction House in disguise.
"Yes, ma'am, I guarantee it is that item." The auctioneer in the red robe replied softly.
"Very good, you did a good job." The Duchess praised the other party symbolically, but her eyes did not focus on the other party at all.
Huo Yuhao, this time I will make you die openly in front of everyone.
Everyone put on masks, and as more and more people gathered at the auction, the auctioneer who presided over the auction also came on stage.
That was because Huo Yuhao knew the dignified and elegant female auctioneer in red clothes. She was Qingya, the auctioneer in the auction house.
"Wow, this sister is so beautiful!" Xiao Xiao looked at the elegant and dignified temperament and couldn't help but sigh. For a loli like him, a royal sister is simply the goal they want most but cannot achieve.
Except for Xiaoxiao, all the men present kept looking at Qingya.
It can be seen that Qingya is indeed very popular and very beautiful.
"Good evening, distinguished guests. Welcome to the Starlight Auction House. I am today's auctioneer. Qingya, I will host this auction today."
Following Qingya's introduction, everyone learned that although today was the main auction for the sixth-level soul guide, there was still a mysterious gift at the end.
Huo Yuhao knew that this so-called mysterious gift was actually the soul bone of the Ice Emperor Scorpion that was almost 20,000 years old.
To be honest, the soul skill granted by this soul bone is Ice Explosion, which is similar to the corpse explosion of the previous Death Messenger. It can be said to be a pretty good soul skill.
But now Huo Yuhao seems to totally despise this soul bone which is only 20,000 years old.
Huo Yuhao’s ultimate goal is to have all the soul bones added to himself be over 10 years old.
Only by holding yourself to the most stringent standards can you reach your strongest level.
All soul bones are over 10 years old, a goal that no one has ever achieved.
But Huo Yuhao already had a plan for this.
While Huo Yuhao was thinking, the auction had already begun.
"The first auction item. The Soul Power Paralysis Ray. Although this Soul Power Paralysis Ray is only level three, it was made by a level six soul guide. It can be considered the best among level three soul guides."
If you want to bring out the strongest effect of a soul guide, it is best to be at the same level as the soul guide. If your own level is higher than the soul guide, you will not be able to fully improve your strength. If your own strength is lower than the soul guide, you will not be able to bring out the full strength of the soul guide.
For a soul master, not only is it difficult to make a mixer, but it is also not easy to equip oneself with a soul guide, or to integrate the mixer into one's own combat system.
Every soul master who has come this far has formed his own unique combat system because of his own martial soul and soul ring.
The addition of soul guides will break this balance.
This is also the reason why many people resist soul guides.
Zhejiang Huandao Qi is very suitable for several members of the reserve team. Due to Wang Dong's resistance to the mixed guide device, Shrek Academy finally took the soul guide device and gave it to Ning Tian.
As one of the few auxiliary soul masters in the team, he will definitely be on the field tomorrow. Having a soul guide of his own can better protect himself and improve his strength.
But what these people don’t know is that Ning Tian actually already had a soul guide.
After all, there are many high-level soul masters in the Nine Treasures Glazed Sect.
They made a soul guide for Ning Tian, but the function of these soul guides was only to protect Ning Tian's life and death, and Ning Tian was not allowed to use them in the competition. That would be too wasteful.
It is also easy for others to guess your cards.
After the first auction item, several other auction items appeared one after another, including some high-level soul guides.
Dean Qian Duoduo, who was in charge of leading the team, asked Ma Xiaotao and others whether they needed to be equipped with soul guides.
But Ma Xiaotao and the other two refused. To them, it was not a wise thing for Li Yun to add a soul guide to his combat system before the competition.
Moreover, most of them do not think highly of soul guides.
In fact, at this stage, soul guides are more of an attack soul skill. In other aspects, soul guides are not as diverse as soul skills.
Qian Duoduo was the dean of the Soul Guidance Department, but he didn't know much about soul guides. Therefore, he didn't force Ma Xiaotao and others to equip soul guides.
Finally, after the previous wedding auction was completed, the last mysterious gift finally appeared on the auction site.
"Before the last mysterious auction item is revealed, I would like to ask everyone a little knowledge." Qingya chuckled and looked at everyone and asked, "Do you know anything about the ten most ferocious beasts among soul beasts?"
"The so-called ten fierce beasts refer to the ten most powerful soul beasts among all soul beasts."
"These ten soul beasts are not only powerful and have long lifespans, but they also possess wisdom that is no less than that of humans. They command all the soul beasts on this continent. They are the absolute kings of soul beasts."
"Among them, the third-ranked Ice Snow Girl, the seventh-ranked Ice Jade Emperor Scorpion, and the tenth-ranked Titan Snow Demon King are located in the Far North."
"There are a lot of ice-attributed soul beasts living in the Far North. It's a land that humans rarely set foot on."
"That's why people don't really know much about these three soul beasts."
"Among them, the king of the Far North, the Snow Emperor, is the only Snow Girl between heaven and earth. It is said that he has the blood of the Ice God in his body."
"And the second-ranked Ice Emperor was born from the Ice Jade Emperor Scorpion, which is a very beautiful soul beast, but also a very dangerous soul beast."
"The reason why they are dangerous is that their attribute is the ultimate ice attribute."
"The ultimate attribute has an overwhelming advantage among the same attributes and can restrain the power of the same attribute and the opposite attribute."
"And the mysterious gift we need to auction today is a soul bone from an Ice Jade Emperor Scorpion that has been cultivated for 2 years."
Before she finished her words, Qingya had already removed the cover in front of her to reveal the soul bone of the Ice Blue Emperor Scorpion hidden inside.
When everyone saw this crystal clear soul bone, greedy looks flashed in their eyes. Everyone knew how high the quality attributes of this soul bone were.
After seeing this, Ling Luochen looked at Dean Qian Duoduo with a gleam in his eyes.
Huo Yuhao knew that the soul bone with the ultimate ice attribute could only be absorbed by a soul master with a martial soul with the ultimate ice attribute. If a soul master with an ordinary ice attribute wanted to absorb this soul bone, he would only suffer backlash and ultimately lose more than he gained.
However, Huo Yuhao did not tell this matter at the first time, because his mental detection just now brought him some additional sudden news.
"Yes, yes, this is indeed the ultimate ice attribute. Even standing here I can feel the power emanating from this soul bone." After seeing this soul bone, the Duchess' eyes glowed green, and she seemed eager to take this soul bone away.
The reason why the Duchess wanted to obtain this ten thousand year old Ice Jade Scorpion soul bone was that she wanted to use it as a bargaining chip to increase her strength in exchange for the other party killing Huo Yuhao.
The reason why the Duchess wanted to obtain the soul bone of the Ice Scorpion this time was because there was a powerful ice-attribute soul master in the Sun-Moon Empire in this competition.
This soul master is the Duchess's exchange partner.
How could the Duchess not know that such behavior was tantamount to treason? But in the eyes of a big shot like the Duchess, the interests of the country are not as important as her own personal interests.
She didn't care about the relationship between the two countries. All she cared about was whether she could kill Huo Yuhao, whether she could maintain her position, and whether she could avenge her son.
Thus, the first large-scale bidding in the competition arena officially began.
"100 gold soul coins."
One million gold soul coins is already a very high price. Before that, the sixth-level soul guide device was only sold for a few hundred thousand gold soul coins.
It can be said that for soul engineers, they can make a huge amount of money every time.
“Two million gold soul coins!” After the Duchess offered one million gold soul coins, Huo Yuhao suddenly offered two million gold soul coins, doubling the price.
“Does this person really have so much wealth?”
Shrek's magnanimity was beyond the Duchess's expectations. The Duchess knew that there would be a high price to pay if she wanted to win this battle.
But there was nothing she could do about it.
"220 million gold soul coins!" The Duchess gritted her teeth and blurted out her offer.
But she found that no matter how low or high the price she offered, Shrek always followed her actions.
She didn't know that she thought she had hidden it well, but the moment she stepped into the auction hall, Huo Yuhao had already detected all her actions through mental detection.
It was not until now, when competing for the Ice Jade Scorpion Soul Bone, that Huo Yuhao gradually understood what the other party wanted to obtain?!
In this case, I will not let you get what you want. Huo Yuhao made up his mind after realizing what was going on.
This is why Huo Yuhao did not tell Qian Duoduo the key to stop him from participating in the competition.
He needed Shrek Academy to continue to step up and raise the price of this soul bone so as to trick the Marquise.
"300 million gold soul coins." After several rounds of price increases, the Duchess gritted her teeth and read out the final offer.
This was the maximum price he could pay, and the Duchess could no longer afford any more gold soul coins.
It was also at this time that Huo Yuhao promptly informed Yu Qianduoduo and Ling Luochen of the information and asked them to stop competing.
Finally, this Ice Blue Emperor Scorpion soul bone, which represented 70,000 years of cultivation, fell into the hands of the Duchess.
In the Duchess's view, she will eventually rely on this spirit bone to deal a fatal blow to Huo Yuhao.
But he didn't know that Huo Yuhao had always been aware of the key from the beginning to the end.
And he cheated her badly.
The one who really didn't know what was going on was actually the Duchess, who thought she was smart.
"Go. Deliver this soul bone quietly to Meng Hongchen at the Sun-Moon Imperial Academy." The Duchess called her confidant and ordered him to deliver the soul bone to where the Sun-Moon Team lived without delay.
He had already found out that Meng Hongchen in the Sun-Moon Empire's team possessed an extremely rare martial spirit with ice-poison attributes.
Moreover, Meng Hongchen is originally stronger than Huo Yuhao. With this 70,000-year-old soul bone, his strength will only be increased to a higher level. In that case, he will be more confident in fighting Huo Yuhao.
