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

Chapter 76 Riddler Get Out of Gotham!
"you"

To everyone's surprise, Huo Yuhao was so firm in rejecting his elder brother's overtures.

why?
Doesn't he feel any sense of belonging to Xingluo at all? You know, she has a very detailed understanding of Huo Yuhao's information.

She couldn't believe that Huo Yuhao could be so reluctant to leave the Sun Moon Empire, where he had only stayed for a year, especially considering that he had lived in Star Luo for eleven years.

Is it possible that eleven years of childhood cannot compare to this short year? My brother just said that he suffered a great injustice, but what kind of injustice could make a young man risk his life to leave Xingluo from afar?

What kind of past could enable a twelve-year-old boy to speak so lightly yet with such a sense of magnanimity and story, about nothing more than a few hardships?
Looking into Huo Yuhao's eyes for a long time, she noticed a kind of restrained resilience in them, aloof and distant, very complex, and she didn't know how to describe it.

(Huo Yuhao: You've got this pie chart, and you still don't know how to describe it? Seriously!)
Seeing that Huo Yuhao was unwilling to say more, Xu Jiawei wisely stopped talking. After all, his men had already started investigating, and he would definitely know the answer before the competition ended.

However, he still wanted to give it one last try.

“Yuhao, I don’t know what you’ve been through in the past, but as a citizen of Xingluo, you must have had some connection with the royal family.”

"If you're willing, Yuhao, I can take charge and help you deal with your enemy, regardless of their identity. I can even give you this Ice Jade Scorpion left arm bone. How about that?"

How? Of course not!

Huo Yuhao wouldn't believe a single word of these words. Believe it or not, if he said right now that he was Dai Hao's son, Xu Jiawei's expression would change instantly.

They even gave me a soul bone. Everything was secretly priced beforehand. There's no such thing as a free lunch in this world.

"Thank you for your kindness, Your Majesty, but I am not one to betray my principles for personal gain. I have friends, teachers, and brothers at the Sun Moon Royal Soul Master Academy. I am content with my current situation and have no intention of returning to Star Luo."

"Alright then, but I'm still very curious about what you've been through in the past, Yuhao. If there's a chance, I'd like to listen."

Of course there's a chance. Huo Yuhao is already planning to pull out all the stops at the last minute. Just don't get impatient then. Maybe it will even be a good thing for Xu Jiawei.

The White Tiger Duke is a hereditary duke of the Star Luo Empire, and Dai Hao holds the power of the commander-in-chief of the three armies of the empire and the commander of the Western Legion. The White Tiger Duke was once a member of the Star Luo royal family. To be honest, if such an existence were in a normal world, the emperor would have been wary of him and killed him long ago.

The reason why the Star Luo royal family still relies on, or rather values, the White Tiger Duke's Mansion is simply because the pressure created by the Sun Moon Empire's troops stationed on the border makes the entire Star Luo family uneasy, leaving them no choice but to act this way.

Surely it couldn't be because of the Xu family's compensation for taking the throne from the Dai family, could it?
There are no good people in the royal family!
Xu Jiawei was about to leave when Meng Hongchen stopped him. The latter had already received Huo Yuhao's signal and spoke up.

"Your Majesty, Emperor of Star Luo, our Sun Moon Sect is willing to purchase this soul bone for 20 million gold soul coins, waiving the subsequent bidding process. What does Your Majesty think?"

To be honest, if only a Soul Master with the ultimate attribute could absorb this 'limiter', this Ice Jade Scorpion left arm bone could easily fetch a high price of around 30 million gold Soul Coins at auction.

But the flaws are there, and extreme attributes are hard to find.

"Oh? Could this young lady be an ultimate ice-attribute soul master?"

Xu Jiawei asked out of curiosity. He knew it was impossible, but it would be good to try to gather more information.

"It's not the ultimate attribute, but my martial soul itself has the ice attribute, so I want to give it a try."

These words struck a chord with Xu Jiawei. It's not about being perfect or wanting to try things out; he admires people who don't believe in superstitions.

"Very well, Jiu Jiu, inform everyone at the auction that this soul bone has encountered some problems and therefore the royal family has decided to let it go unsold and will not participate in the subsequent bidding."

His original plan was to trick Sun Moon. When Huo Yuhao pointed out the flaws, he thought Sun Moon wasn't going to buy it. Now that Sun Moon had spoken up, it was exactly what he wanted.

"Yes, Brother Huang."

Thus, with both sides feeling they had gotten a great deal, the Ice Jade Scorpion Soul Bone was bought by Sun and Moon. Of course, the story told to the people at the auction outside was quite different.

"Yuhao, isn't this soul bone something that can only be absorbed by those with an extreme attribute? But Kemeng doesn't have an extreme attribute either."

Xiao Hongchen asked in confusion. He didn't understand. Wasn't there a trap? Why would Yuhao let his younger sister jump into it? Did this soul bone have some advantages that he didn't know about?

"You'll find out later." Riddler, get out of Gotham!
As for why Huo Yuhao was able to see the problem with this soul bone, Xiao Hongchen attributed it all to the third soul ring that Huo Yuhao had absorbed.

His Three-Legged Golden Toad Martial Soul had already allocated a large portion of his bloodline talent to metal control, while Huo Yuhao's metal control retained the golden toad's ability to perceive special treasures.

Besides that, he couldn't figure out why Yuhao knew all of this so clearly.

Several tens of minutes later, Xu Jiujiu returned to the stage. Clearly, many people showed regret upon hearing that the Ice Jade Scorpion Soul Bone had potential risks and would therefore fail to sell.

But they weren't the only ones feeling distressed. Ling Luochen and Su Tong were two of them. Although there were potential risks, the Starlight Auction House hadn't specified what they were, and subconsciously, they still believed they could do it.

That's the left arm bone of an Ice Jade Scorpion that's nearly 70,000 years old! If we can fuse with it, our strength will definitely leap several levels in the upcoming competition.

It's all those guys from Sun and Moon's fault. Why did they have to raise any questions? They really made you look bad.

Compared to Ling Luochen, Su Tong was much more indifferent. She believed that if she gained something, it was her fortune, and if she lost something, it was her fate. That was just her personality; she didn't compete or fight for anything and wasn't interested in what wasn't hers.

Of course, as the 'culprit' who caused this incident, Huo Yuhao has no time to care about what others think.

His gaze was completely fixed on the embryo on the auction stage, which was covered by a soul tool but was constantly displaying its remarkable qualities.

He was right. Because he did not intervene rashly, the Snow Emperor ultimately chose to forcibly use the 100,000-year-old snow lotus as a catalyst to seal her own original power and initiate the transformation process.

At this moment, a long-awaited voice rang out.

"Next up is an even more precious treasure than a 100,000-year soul ring or soul bone: a 100,000-year soul beast embryo!"

Gasps filled the auction hall as countless people rubbed their ears, afraid they might have misheard.

One hundred thousand year old soul beast embryo!
This thing actually exists, and it's even being auctioned off?

Is it the Star Luo royal family that's gone mad, or is it the world that's gone mad?!

"This feeling is so familiar?"

Hyotei looked at the embryo outside and felt that the occasional aura it emitted was so familiar.

Huo Yuhao didn't say much about it for the time being. Letting Bingdi know now wouldn't be a good thing; she might lose control of her emotions and disrupt the next plan.

The situation isn't much better on the Sun and Moon side either.

"How is it possible that Xingluo possesses such a supreme treasure?"

"What exactly is going on? How did such a treasure end up here?"

After a long while, seeing that the atmosphere was just right, he continued.

"This 100,000-year-old soul beast embryo was captured and sealed by a level nine soul master who captured and sealed the 100,000-year-old soul beast the moment it transformed into human form, trapping it in the level nine soul tool, the Conferred God Platform."

"Because it was captured at the moment of the soul beast's transformation, the soul beast's memories were sealed. If this embryo can be absorbed, it not only means that the soul master can obtain a 100,000-year soul ring and soul bone, but also..."

"Awaken your second martial soul!!"

The acquired martial soul is a second martial soul that can only appear because the abilities, power, and memories are completely absorbed. It only exists in theory and is based on the premise that the soul beast will never resist. However, the Star Luo royal family has not said anything about it.

Shock, frenzy. The atmosphere in the auction hall had completely gone wild!
