Douluo Dalu: The Eyes That Defy Fate

Chapter 142 The World's Strange Operations
After entering the auction hall, everyone put on their masks and then followed the servants to sit in a relatively secluded area.

Soon, the auction hall was filled with bidders, who were whispering in groups of three or four about the items to be auctioned today.

Lin Po also sensed Shrek's location and saw a young man who looked like a scholar arguing with a red-haired woman.

"As always, you look down on soul guides. You're blinded by the so-called glory. Your vision is even lower than that of Moon, who has one foot in the coffin."

After thinking about it, Lin Po withdrew his large-scale perception and waited quietly for the auction to begin.

"Welcome distinguished guests to the Xingluo Auction House. Our auction is about to begin."

As a beautiful female voice sounded, a woman in a purple dress walked onto the stage from the darkness of the auction hall.

Just like in the original novel, the auctioneer named Qingya attracted the attention of many men as soon as she came on stage.

Even young men like Ma Rulong are no exception. After all, they are all at the age of full vigor and it is impossible for them to be impulsive.

Wang Dong'er and the other two girls also looked at their loved ones, fearing that Lin Po and Huo Yuhao had been bewitched.

Lin Po, who was used to seeing beautiful women, naturally didn't feel anything. Huo Yuhao, on the other hand, was completely focused on Wang Donger and had no other thoughts at all.

When Lin Po saw Huo Yuhao like this, he suddenly remembered Orange, the extreme character in the original novel.

'Orange is like chicken ribs, tasteless to eat but a pity to throw away.

Let's wait and see. If the plan goes well, there's no need to deliberately try to win this person over.'

Just as Lin Po was thinking, the first item was officially auctioned.

As time passed, more than twenty soul guides of various types were bought one after another.

The auction process was similar to the original novel, and more than a dozen items were acquired by Wang Yan single-handedly.

The members of the Sun and Moon Team did not participate in the bidding for any items. Instead, they lost interest in the poorly made soul guides.

"No, is this the level of the Xingluo Empire?

Aside from a few decent soul guides from our Sun Moon Empire, the rest of their homegrown soul guides aren't even as good as the ones Mingde Hall scraps every year."

As the end was nearing, Xiao Hongchen could no longer contain his surprise and whispered something in Huo Yuhao's ear.

Huo Yuhao, who saw this more clearly than Xiao Hongchen, nodded in agreement. Those auction items were far inferior to those from the Sun-Moon Empire in both model design and basic workmanship.

It is no wonder that the Xingluo Empire spends a huge amount of money every year to purchase soul guides from the Sun and Moon Empire on the black market.

But the next item to be auctioned made most of the Sun and Moon team change their expressions.

It turned out to be the fourth-level milk bottle in the original book who made great contributions to Shrek.

"Yuhao, you have good eyesight, please confirm whether that is a baby bottle produced by the Sun and Moon Empire!"

A serious voice sounded in everyone's ears, and the person who spoke was none other than Mr. Ma who had been watching.

Originally, those low- and medium-level soul guides were circulated, but after all, there is always a loophole, and even the royal family cannot completely control it.

But the same cannot be said for the milk bottle. Even if it is only a level 4 milk bottle, it is like a strategic material in the Sun and Moon Empire.

However, now he has run to the auction house of the Xingluo Empire.

There might be something fishy going on here.

After hearing Mr. Ma's request, Huo Yuhao immediately possessed the body with his spirit without saying a word. With the help of simulated spirit skills and Lin Po's cover, he carefully checked the fourth-level milk bottle on the table.

A full minute passed before Huo Yuhao retracted his soul skill and glanced at Xiao Hongchen with a slightly heavy expression.

This little action definitely did not escape Xiao Hongchen's eyes. He was staring at Huo Yuhao waiting for an answer.

"Yuhao, what are you looking at me for? Tell me the result quickly!"

Huo Yuhao took a deep breath after hearing this before expressing his own judgment.

"That level four milk bottle is real."

Just as everyone clenched their fists and was about to curse the traitor, Huo Yuhao's next words made all the people of the Sun Moon Empire stunned.

"Also, this fourth-grade milk bottle is produced by Mingdetang. My teacher once explained to me the differences between the various grades of milk bottles produced by Mingdetang and those produced outside."

Everyone knew that Huo Yuhao's teacher was Mingde Hall Master Jing Hongchen, so they believed his words without a doubt. But precisely because of this, Xiao Hongchen found it even more difficult to believe.

"How can it be"

Xiao Hongchen collapsed powerlessly on the high-end sofa and muttered to himself. He never expected that the melon would be eaten by his own family.

Lin Po, who watched the whole process, also sighed and thought to himself.

"No matter what world it is, as long as there are people, there will always be people who abandon everything for profit."

Thinking of this, he started to teach a lesson to the many team members who were in a daze.

“Okay, isn’t it just leaking a level 4 milk bottle?!
Instead of questioning your life here, you should quickly win the competition, then improve yourself and ensure that this kind of thing doesn't happen again."

In order to enhance the effect, he even added a hint of mental power into the scolding to ensure that these young people with uncertain minds would not be affected by this incident.

As for Meng Hongchen and the others, there was no need for that. In the hearts of the three girls, Lin Po and Huo Yuhao were obviously more important than a fourth-level baby bottle, and were not affected by this incident at all.

"That's right. I'll tell Grandpa when I get back and have him deal with the traitors in Mingde Hall."

Xiao Hongchen was the first to come back to his senses, but he still said things without thinking, which made Lin Po sigh with his hand on his forehead.

'This kid is hopeless. Do you really think that your grandfather, that old fox, doesn't know that such things are happening under his command?
That's all fishing.'

The other team members also reacted one after another. As passionate young people, they also made up their minds to win glory for their country.

Lin Po was really helpless when he saw this scene. He had already tried his best to restrain his strength, but why was the effect still so good?

Then he looked at Huo Yuhao, fearing that he might also be affected.

At this time, Huo Yuhao also noticed Lin Po's gaze and smiled cheerfully.

"It's okay, as long as this kid isn't too hot-blooded."

What Lin Po didn't expect was that because Huo Yuhao had no preparation for Lin Po, the hint he just gave had a better effect on him.

It's just that the direction is a little different from others.

"Brother Lin, just wait, I will definitely help you become the king of the world!"

Huo Yuhao silently made a silly decision.

After a round of intense bidding, the fourth-level milk bottle was finally bought by Shrek at an excess price of 25,000 gold soul coins.

When the hammer sounded, Wang Yan breathed a sigh of relief.

But Lin Po was alert for the first time in this auction.

"Here it comes, but I wonder what the world will use to replace the Soul Devouring Knife this time."

With the sound of high heels, the last item covered with red cloth was pushed to the front of the stage by another etiquette lady.

After impatiently sensing it, Lin Po showed an expression of "as expected".

As Lin Po expected, even without the Soul-Devouring Knife, the world itself would still replace it with other things rich in vitality.

However, without the ability to see through the eyes, Lin Po could only confirm that the last item had a very strong vitality, but he could not confirm what it was.

"That's right, why does the aura of this thing seem familiar? It's not the gold of life."

Before Lin Po could think too much, Qingya's voice spread throughout the auction hall through the player.

"Dear guests, this is the last mysterious item in our auction."

After saying that, Qingya solemnly lifted the red cloth.

A light green crystal the size of a water droplet lay steadily in the center of the jade box. Its crystal clear appearance caused many women present to exclaim in surprise.

“This nameless object was an unexpected acquisition by our Xingluo Auction House.

Because it contains a huge amount of vitality, it was named the Crystal of Life by the Medical Immortal Douluo, who was worshipped by the royal family.

As soon as the words fell, a burst of discussion instantly rang out among the crowd.
