Douluo: Lin Dong Travels Through Huo Yuhao

Chapter 72 Dream of the Red Dust: I Give You

Hearing his words, Lin Dong raised his eyebrows in surprise and asked, "Dean, are you saying that this thing is produced by Mingde Hall?"

Jing Hongchen nodded with a bad look on his face, and then took the initiative to speak:

"Why, you like it? If you want, we don't have to buy it here. I'll go back and have someone make one for you. It will definitely be of better quality than this one."

Lin Dong shook his head and said softly: "Forget it, thank you for your kindness, Dean, I am not used to it."

Seeing this, Jing Hongchen had no choice but to nod and focus his attention on the auction. As the auction progressed, Jing Hongchen's expression became more and more uglier.

When he saw that the eighth item being carried up was a soul guide, and all of them were made by Mingde Hall, Jing Hongchen asked with a hint of anger in his tone:

"Miss Qingya, did you call us here to show off your spies' abilities, or to tell us that you have made great achievements in your research on the Sun and Moon Soul Guidance Device?"

Qingya's expression suddenly froze. Looking at the indifference on the faces of everyone except Lin Dong, she explained somewhat at a loss:
"Dean Jing, I am only responsible for delivering the invitation to you. I have no right to know about other arrangements."

Jing Hongchen glanced at her and said in a cold voice: "Go tell your emperor that we are very grateful for his 'warm hospitality' in this competition. You can leave now."

Qingya rubbed her hands nervously and hesitantly said, "But... you haven't seen this last lot yet."

Jing Hongchen waved his hands unhappily, "You guys took out eight soul guides in a row. If you don't know, you might think we're participating in the Mingde Hall auction. What's so good about it?"

Qingya was stunned for a moment, replied yes, and was about to leave when a voice suddenly came from the soul guide screen.

"This Ice Jade Scorpion's left arm bone is estimated to be between 50,000 and 80,000 years old. Its soul skill is fixed, which means that whoever absorbs this soul bone will only get a fixed soul skill. Friendly reminder, this soul bone is already very old, if your body is not strong enough, don't try it lightly."

After hearing this introduction, Lin Dong and Meng Hongchen’s eyes lit up almost at the same time, “Wait a minute.”

Qingya, who had just walked to the door, heard this pleasant voice and immediately trotted back in joy. She looked at Lin Dong who had spoken first and said, "What do you want me to do?"

"Wait a minute, Dean. I am somewhat interested in this soul bone. Let her finish the bidding first and then pass on the message."

Hearing Lin Dong take the initiative to speak, Jing Hongchen immediately smiled and nodded: “No problem, just make an offer.”

“Grandpa, I want this too. You’ve always been partial to Lin Dong. This is too much.”

Looking at Meng Hongchen's resentful eyes, Jing Hongchen smiled dryly and winked at Lin Dong. He couldn't handle this either. Lin Dong nodded in understanding:

"Ms. Meng, this spirit bone can only be absorbed by people with the ultimate ice attribute. Have you forgotten that my second martial spirit is the Ice Jade Scorpion?"

These were naturally the key information that Ice Emperor told him after he insulted all human beings except Lin Dong in his sea of ​​consciousness.

Hearing what he said, Meng Hongchen still stuck out his tongue in a bit of jealousy:
"I know you are the Ultimate Ice, but no one said that only people with the Ultimate Ice can absorb it!"

Lin Dong did not change his attitude because of her coquettishness, he just replied calmly:

"You should have heard that physical strength is a necessary condition for absorbing soul bones. After I go back, I will give you a satisfactory compensation, Miss Meng. You should bear the pain and let it go." "Yes, Meng, Lin Dong's body is almost as strong as that of a soul emperor, and it is the ultimate ice. Don't fight with him. I will find you a better one."

Meng Hongchen glared at him and said in a teasing tone: "Am I still your biological sister? You always compete with him, why are you speaking for him now?"

Xiao Hongchen retorted with an unnatural expression: "Who is speaking for him? I am only doing this for the benefit of the team. We are still eager to win the game. If something happens to you because of absorbing the soul bone..."

"Alright, alright, stop talking. I gave it to him. I was just saying it. I won't really snatch it from him."

Looking at her sly smile, Lin Dong turned his head to the side, looked at Qingya and said, "It's time to start."

"The starting price for this soul bone is 13 million!"

As Xu Jiujiu's voice sounded, Jing Hongchen made an offer without hesitation. Although Shrek symbolically snatched it for Ling Luochen a few times, after the price rose to 16 million, Xuanzi took a sip of wine, looked at Ling Luochen and smiled:
"Luo Chen, the academy doesn't have much funding this time. I promise you, after you make a contribution in this competition, I will definitely find a more suitable one for you! How about just forget about it this time?"

Ling Luochen nodded calmly. She was not a fool. As the number one academy in the continent, how could they not come up with 16 million? It was just that they thought she was not worth it.

Seeing Ling Luochen agreed, Xuan Zi laughed dryly and said, "Don't worry, everyone. As long as you contribute to the glory of the academy in this competition, the academy will definitely not treat you unfairly!"

On the Sun and Moon side, after the payment was settled, Jing Hongchen handed the soul bone to Lin Dong and patted his shoulder gently:

"There happens to be no competition these two days. When you go back tonight, I will help you protect the Dharma. You should absorb him as soon as possible. You will definitely have to play in the next competition."

Lin Dong looked at Jing Hongchen and smiled happily: "Thank you, Dean."

Jing Hongchen smiled and waved his hand, then turned to look at Qingya and said, "We can go now. Remember what I asked you to tell us."

"Yes."

Qingya replied timidly, and after seeing the few people leave, she quickly walked towards VIP Room No. 1.

After bowing to Xu Jiawei, Qingya relayed Jing Hongchen's words to Xu Jiawei. Looking at his gloomy face, Qingya hurriedly left the room at Xu Jiujiu's signal.

After Qingya left, Xu Jiujiu looked at Xu Jiawei with concern and said softly, "Brother, don't be too angry. Anyway, our goal has been achieved. Let him warn me. I don't believe they can really start a war regardless of the consequences."

Xu Jiawei held his forehead and said worriedly: "Alas, although we conveyed a point of view to them through this auction: our research on soul guides and our arrangements in Sun and Moon are all to guard against them.

However, so many things happened during this competition, and our relationship with Sun and Moon has become even more strained. This is not good news."

"But brother, we have always been at odds with Sun and Moon, and this time we can use them to form a united front with Shrek, which is actually not a bad thing."

Hearing Xu Jiujiu's comfort, Xu Jiawei seemed to have thought of something and said with some melancholy:

"But we also paid a heavy price in blood, and according to Master Xuan, your team has to kill a few more members of the Sun and Moon team in the game. If you really push them too far, it will be difficult to deal with them."
