Chapter 49 The leaky little cotton-padded jacket
"So, according to your judgment, there is at least one hundred thousand year old soul beast among them, right?"

At the back of the Starlight Auction House, Xingluo Emperor Xu Jiawei looked with a complicated expression at the powerful and constantly active vitality in the ninth-level soul guide god-conferring platform in front of him.

“Yes, Your Majesty, this is definitely a hundred thousand year old soul beast. I can guarantee it with my own life.” The elderly appraiser who was responsible for receiving Huo Yuhao said confidently, patting his chest.

"Moreover, according to our judgment, this hundred thousand year soul beast that is in the transformation stage can give a soul master an extra martial soul, and even if it fails, it can still give birth to a hundred thousand year soul bone and a hundred thousand year soul ring."

"Your Majesty, I am willing to guarantee with my life that this is definitely a treasure!"

The old appraiser knelt on the ground respectfully, so he did not notice that while he was praising this extremely rare 100,000-year-old soul beast, his emperor's face became increasingly uglier.

The thing is good, but I have already promised it!
Xu Jiawei now hates himself very much from a few months ago. He remembers that he thought it was impossible for it to be a hundred thousand year soul beast.
The results of it?
The auction house actually received a hundred thousand year old soul beast.

At this moment, Xu Jiawei only felt an invisible slap mark on his face.

Oh my God, you can’t play tricks on me like this!
Xu Jiawei looked at the hundred thousand year old soul beast in front of him and suddenly asked, "If I want to sell this thing, how much can it be sold for?"

"Your Majesty, this thing is a priceless treasure. Even if we only estimate it based on the value of a hundred thousand year soul bone and a hundred thousand year soul ring, it can be sold for at least 100 million. If the publicity is done well and the number of people who come is high enough, it is entirely possible to sell for more."

"If I release the news about this thing, will it cause a stir on the mainland?" Xu Jiawei continued to ask with a blank expression.

"Your Majesty, it is possible." A black-clad official kneeling on the other side of Xu Jiawei answered respectfully while kneeling on the ground.

"Shrek Academy is not short of geniuses, and given their stance, they may not be able to get away with it."

"But the Body Sect and Mingde Hall will definitely fight for this treasure."

"The three strongest forces in the soul master world are the Sea God Pavilion, the Body Sect, and the Mingde Hall."

"Among them, the Sea God Pavilion has no shortage of geniuses, but the successor of the Body Sect has not yet been found. The Sun-Moon Empire where Mingde Hall is located has never had a genius with twin martial spirits, and the Sun-Moon Empire is now showing great ambition."

"No matter which side obtains the treasure, the Body Sect and Mingde Hall will never let it go."

“Not to mention that there are a large number of independent soul masters in the soul master world. Once the news of this treasure is leaked, a bloody storm is absolutely inevitable.”

Hearing this, Xu Jiawei's eyes flickered, and he wanted to go back on his word.

The value of this thing is too great, but the value that Huo Yuhao can bring to them will take a long time to manifest.

In addition, the atmosphere between the Sun-Moon Empire and the Star Luo Empire has become increasingly tense in recent years, and they are facing the pressure brought to them by the Sun-Moon Empire.

Especially during this period, the Sun-Moon Empire's move to increase its troops on the border has made the relationship between Dai Hao and Xu Jiawei, the monarch and his subject, even better.

There is no other way. Faced with external enemies, we have to stick together for warmth.

In this situation, Huo Yuhao's role was greatly reduced.

As for the promise, haha, anyone who believes in the promise of a political creature, or more precisely, the emperor, is a fool.

The saying "A gentleman should never joke" is itself a joke.

"Royal brother, there's news from Shrek Academy, Huo--" Xu Jiujiu pushed open the door with a happy look on his face, and saw this gloomy scene as soon as he came in.

Xu Jiujiu was so scared that the smile on his face disappeared immediately.

"Brother, are you still looking at this 100,000-year-old soul beast? What's the point of it being so pretty? Didn't you promise this thing to Huo Yuhao a few months ago?" Xu Jiujiu asked curiously. Xu Jiawei smiled but didn't respond. He calmly changed the subject and said, "What's wrong? What's the news from Shrek Academy? According to the time calculation, the most important news from Shrek at this time should be the result of the freshman assessment, right?"

"Brother, your guess is correct. The results of today's freshman assessment are out. Brother, guess who will be this year's champion team?" Xu Jiujiu's expression changed slightly, but then he cooperated with a smile and put his hands behind his back.

"The smile on the emperor's sister's face is so grand, how could the emperor not guess it?" Xu Jiawei laughed and said: "It seems that Huo Yuhao won the championship this time, right?"

"Oh, my brother is so boring." Xu Jiujiu pretended to complain and said, "He didn't cooperate at all and just gave the answer directly."

"Hahaha, how can you blame your royal brother for this?" Xu Jiawei was not angry, but just continued asking following Xu Jiujiu's words.

“I remember that there were quite a few three-ring soul masters in this freshman assessment. I heard that Dai Hao’s son Dai Huabin was one of them. How could Huo Yuhao snatch the championship from them?”

"Of course not. Moreover, this time Huo Yuhao snatched the championship from Dai Huabin head-on." Xu Jiujiu then told Xu Jiawei how Huo Yuhao defeated Dai Huabin.

Xu Jiawei was also filled with emotion after hearing this.

Huo Yuhao's second soul skill really shocked him.

A thousand-year soul skill could actually allow a two-ring great soul master to defeat a three-ring soul master head-on. Although there were some side effects, it could still be considered powerful.

Just when the atmosphere was harmonious, Xu Jiujiu suddenly asked, "Brother, are you unwilling to hand over this treasure to Huo Yuhao as agreed?"

"Haha, my royal brother just plans to give it out after a while." Xu Jiawei laughed and tried to get away with it.

But Xu Jiujiu did not cooperate with him and continue acting.

“Brother, Huo Yuhao’s role is not only to eliminate the authority of Duke Baihu, but also more than just a genius soul guide.”

"Don't forget, his martial spirit has the ability to predict the future. If this ability is not strong, how could such a smart person like my brother give this treasure to him?"

“Brother, Huo Yuhao’s value is definitely greater than this 100,000-year soul beast. We lack a 100,000-year soul beast, but we lack a miracle even more.”

"And Huo Yuhao is this miracle." Xu Jiujiu said earnestly.

“But Huo Yuhao may not be able to grow up smoothly. Even if he grows up smoothly, he may not become a miracle that changes the situation.” At this time, Xu Jiawei no longer pretended after listening to Xu Jiujiu's words.

"But this thing is different. It can bring us changes immediately and add bargaining chips to the situation—"

"But even so, can we defeat the Sun and Moon Empire?!" Xu Jiujiu interrupted before Xu Jiawei could finish.

"Since the emperor of the Sun-Moon Empire ascended the throne, the Sun-Moon Empire has changed its previous policy of not using soul guides in the military. The Sun-Moon Empire is getting stronger day by day. Now, our Xingluo Empire is no match for the Sun-Moon Empire."

"Brother, the Sun Moon Empire is now ambitious and wants to completely reverse the situation. A hundred thousand year old soul beast will not be able to play a role at all."

"At this point, if we don't want to face this outcome, there are only two options."

"The first method is to strengthen the connection between the various forces in the original Douluo Continent. The second method," Xu Jiujiu looked at Xu Jiawei seriously and said:
"Brother, sometimes we really need to believe that miracles will happen."

“Besides, there is nothing I can do if my brother disagrees with me.” Xu Jiujiu added, “I have already told Huo Yuhao about the matter of the hundred thousand year soul beast. He may have already rushed here.”
