Douluo Continent: When Huo Yuhao Becomes the Lord of the End

Chapter 74: After a long time, one good thing after another appeared.
The Starlight Auction House isn't owned by Shrek Academy, so of course they wouldn't dare block Huo Yuhao and his group here. They might not feel ashamed, but the Sun Moon Academy would.

"Yuhao, were we a bit too arrogant just now? Did we hurt them too much by saying that?"

Huo Yuhao slapped the hand off his shoulder. "Hey, we don't call that being arrogant, we call it 'overflowing confidence,' you know what 'full of energy' means?"

Who would resort to fists and words to reason in a situation like this, you idiot?

"That's true. My greatest strengths are humility and confidence. I was a bit too reserved just now."

Huo Yuhao's eye twitched. "What you're saying is unnecessary, but I haven't discovered those two advantages yet."

Meng Hongchen approached with a grin, hands behind her back, and said with a smile.

"Hey idiot, Yuhao, do we want to play with those Shrek guys again later?"

"Oh? Xisuo."

After Huo Yuhao and the others left, Shrek Academy remained rooted to the spot, unsure whether to go in or not.

Shrek Academy, they're Shrek Academy! When have they ever been treated like this? Sun Moon Royal Soul Master Academy, just you wait, we'll see during the competition!
So, this is impotent rage.

The private rooms at the Starlight Auction House and the Sun and Moon Royal Auction House are not much different. If there is any difference, it is that the soul guide screens at the Starlight Auction House are all outdated products from the Sun and Moon Royal Auction House.

If we consider Sun and Moon as the world's manufacturing center for soul tools, then the original Douluo Three Kingdoms, whose soul tool development lagged behind Sun and Moon by several generations, was the biggest dumping ground for expired 'products'.

The original Douluo Three Kingdoms had a large amount of resources seized by the Sun Moon faction through soul tools, and what they got were mostly outdated soul tool products that the Sun Moon faction didn't want.

If there were tariffs, the Three Kingdoms would definitely raise the import tariff on soul tools from the Sun and Moon faction to 3521%.

(A certain blond-haired savvy intellectual, who wished to remain anonymous, quietly gave it a thumbs up.)
As the lights in the entire auction hall went out, the exclusive auctioneer, Xu Jiujiu, walked onto the stage and gave a royal salute to the crowd.

This person was originally supposed to be the last to appear, but now they're not even pretending anymore.

"Welcome, distinguished guests, to the Starlight Auction House. We will now be auctioning nine precious items, which will be presented to you in order of increasing value."

"I am auctioneer Xu Jiujiu, and I am very happy to serve you distinguished guests."

The auction hall was already bustling with noise. With the princess of the Star Luo Empire personally presiding over the auction, it was clear that the items up for auction would be extraordinary.

"What do you mean by Yuhao?"

"I think there's something fishy going on. What kind of family would let a princess of a country preside over an auction? Does Xingluo have no one else to rely on?!"

"Who asked you that? I meant Xu Jiujiu, what does she look like?"

"Sorry, I have face blindness, I can't tell who's good-looking or not."

"Holy crap~~, I need to write this down in a notebook, I've learned something new."

Without keeping everyone waiting long, the first soul tool item was put up for auction.

"Distinguished guests, the first item up for auction is the Tyrant Tiger Soul Refining Blade, an eighth-level melee soul tool from the Mingde Hall of the Sun Moon Empire."

"This soul tool is crafted primarily from a ten-thousand-year-old soul bone, and comes with the soul bone skill 'Overlord Blade Slash.' It can also increase the power of similar attack soul skills by fifty percent. Starting bid..."

After saying that, he glanced at the private room of the Sun Moon Royal Soul Master Academy for a long time.

Starting with an eighth-level soul tool from Mingde Hall, I wonder how the people of the Sun Moon Empire feel right now.

I wonder if my elder brother's plan to use this soul tool to sow discord among the high-ranking officials of the Sun Moon Empire will succeed.

feel?

Little did they know that Lin Jiayi and Ma Lao, these high-ranking officials, would only want to laugh when they saw this soul tool.

The Sun and Moon Sect possesses mature secrets for crafting soul bones and soul tools. Even if Huo Yuhao wanted to learn how to fuse soul tools and soul bones, it wouldn't be a problem. So why would they allow a soul tool like the Tyrant Tiger Soul Refining Blade to come to the original Douluo Three Kingdoms? Do you really think that some high-ranking officials have betrayed them?
What's going on?

This is intentional!

Such soul tools require soul bones, and the accompanying soul bone skills are generally weak. The Sun and Moon Sect is so lacking in these that they have to create secret soul bones. Just imagine, where would they get such a luxury to use soul bones to make soul tools?

It's fair to say that such a soul tool is neither useful nor worth discarding. It was only used to trick the original Douluo Three Kingdoms, but unexpectedly it's being auctioned off.

Where can you reason with this? It just means we both thought the same thing. You're trying to trick me, and coincidentally, that's what I was thinking too.

"Yuhao, haven't you been researching the fusion of soul bones and soul tools lately? Why don't you take a picture of this soul tool?"

As Meng Hongchen spoke, Lin Jiayi and the others also turned their gazes over.

"Forget it, the academy has detailed research data on soul bones and soul tools. What would I need it for?"

Hearing Huo Yuhao's words, Lin Jiayi and the others no longer cared about the ownership of this soul tool. Ma Rulong didn't even glance at it; he had the Sword of Judgment and didn't care about this thing.

However, the idea master Xiao Hongchen revealed an evil smile.

"I think that little phoenix soul master from Shrek Academy is definitely interested in this soul tool. I'm going to raise the price for them."

A wicked little devil from a mortal family, born evil.

Ma Rulong and the others unconsciously distanced themselves from Xiao Hongchen; that crooked, wicked smile was simply too hard to maintain.

Soon, this level eight melee soul tool was sold for three million gold soul coins, nearly double its original value.

Huo Yuhao remained noncommittal about the price. In the original route, the ten-thousand-year-old Golden Light Left Arm Bone was worth 950 million gold soul coins due to its rare light attribute, and the seventy-thousand-year-old Ice Jade Scorpion Left Arm Bone was worth 3000 million gold soul coins. However, this level eight melee soul tool, with the ten-thousand-year-old soul bone as its main material, only sold for 300 million gold soul coins, which was double the price.

He could only attribute it to the poor quality of the materials and the soul tool itself, and it was definitely not because Gong Changwei's monetary system was flawed.

To be honest, this was practically robbery for Ma Xiaotao. Xiao Hongchen was right; she did indeed fall in love with the soul tool at first sight.

If she could obtain it, even if she couldn't unleash the full power of this soul tool, she could still greatly enhance herself in the upcoming matches.

"Damn Sun Moon Royal Soul Master Academy!" Ma Xiaotao was furious again.

They call it a secret, but anyone with eyes can see who's deliberately messing with Shrek.
She had seen the bids from the Sun and Moon VIP room just now. A bunch of bastards, are they just going to make trouble for Shrek Academy? This is clearly malicious price gouging, but she just can't give up.

Elder Xuan had already made it clear that even if she recovered, she could not use her full strength in the upcoming battle, which was why she had to auction off this soul tool.

Because of the soul tool, she was able to make up for the fact that she couldn't fight to her heart's content.

The second item is the Ten-Thousand-Year Ice Heart Fruit, a rare and precious natural treasure that grows in extremely cold places. It has a crystal-clear appearance and contains icy cold energy. Consuming it can greatly enhance a Soul Master's mental strength and control over ice-attribute Soul Skills.

Ultimately, after a bidding war between Ling Luochen and Meng Hongchen of Shrek Academy, Meng Hongchen won the bid for 200 million gold soul coins.

The third item is the Bloodline Resonance Technique, a rare technique that can enhance a Soul Master's control over their Martial Soul and temporarily and perfectly fuse Martial Soul attributes with their bloodline. It comes from a sect that fell into ruin a thousand years ago.

In addition, rare metals and other rare and precious materials were also included by the Sun and Moon side.

The main selling point is that it's a treasure that you can buy with money, so what's the difference between that and giving it away for free?
The auction quickly progressed to the auction of the eighth and final item.

"Distinguished guests, the next item in this auction is comparable in rarity to a 100,000-year-old soul bone."

"It is the Ice Jade Scorpion's left arm soul bone, which is nearly 70,000 years old, comes from a dominant race in the far north, and is known as a super soul beast."

Xu Jiujiu smiled, having already prepared his explanation, concealing all the flaws of the soul bone in his words without mentioning them at all.

"As everyone knows, the Ice Jade Scorpion Clan is one of the rarest soul beast clans on the continent."

"The left arm soul bone produced by the 70,000-year-old Ice Jade Scorpion Soul Beast can greatly enhance the Soul Master's strength and physical attributes. Moreover, thanks to the special characteristics of the Ice Jade Scorpion Soul Beast, once fused, it can also comprehensively amplify the Soul Master's ice attribute!"

As he spoke, he deliberately added, "I want to state here that this soul bone has attribute restrictions and can only be absorbed by ice attribute soul masters. Furthermore, the soul bone's soul skills are already solidified. If a soul master's strength is insufficient, blindly absorbing it will only lead to their own destruction."

The strategy is to first suppress the praise, and then praise it.

"Of course, the soul skill provided by this soul bone will definitely not disappoint you, because the soul skill it provides is the ultimate technique that ice attribute soul masters dream of—Ice Explosion Technique!!"

"The starting bid is 10 million gold soul coins, and each bid must be at least 1 million gold soul coins higher!"

"Start bidding now!!"
