Chapter 260 Sun and Moon Empire Auction, Carving Knife!

When Huo Yuhao walked off the field, Xiao Hongchen and Meng Hongchen, the brother and sister, immediately surrounded him.

"Huo Yuhao!"

Xiao Hongchen's voice carried a hint of urgency, and his heterochromatic eyes, one blue and one green, were fixed on Huo Yuhao, scrutinizing him from head to toe.

"You didn't tell us about your strength!"

Meng Hongchen nodded repeatedly, her large blue eyes filled with a complex expression.

"Exactly, that's way too much! Four ten-thousand-year soul rings."

Huo Yuhao couldn't help but smile as he looked at the two of them.

"None of you asked."

Xiao Hongchen was momentarily speechless at these words. He opened his mouth, but realized that he had never asked Huo Yuhao about his soul ring configuration.

However, who would have thought that your soul ring configuration would be four ten-thousand-year rings?

Xiao Hongchen took a deep breath, opened his mouth, and wanted to ask the question that had been weighing on his mind: how did Huo Yuhao manage to have four soul rings that were all ten thousand years old?

However, when the words were about to come out, Xiao Hongchen hesitated.

It's important to know that a Soul Master's first Soul Ring typically lasts a hundred years, while some can achieve a thousand years for their second Soul Ring. However, this requires exceptional physical attributes, top-tier support resources, and extraordinary magical abilities.

Even with his grandfather's full support, he still couldn't achieve a second soul ring that was a thousand-year soul ring.

Not to mention that the third and fourth soul rings are already ten thousand years old...

This is absolutely absurd!

Xiao Hongchen's gaze fell on Huo Yuhao, and he thought of Shrek Academy, which was built thousands of meters in the air.

Xiao Hongchen swallowed hard, a guess forming in his mind.

Perhaps this is not a matter of Huo Yuhao's personal talent, but rather that Shrek Academy in the sky has some unknown secret.

How can it allow a student's first soul ring to break through the century-long limit?

Can it allow students to have four ten-thousand-year soul rings at the age of twelve?

The more Xiao Hongchen thought about it, the more his scalp tingled.

He gave Huo Yuhao a deep look, but ultimately swallowed back the words that were already on the tip of his tongue.

Even if he asked, Huo Yuhao might not tell him about such matters that involve the academy's core secrets.

Moreover... a shrewd glint flashed in Xiao Hongchen's eyes.

Some things can't be found out just by asking.

Meng Hongchen, standing to the side, didn't have as many complicated thoughts as her brother.

"Huo Yuhao!"

Meng Hongchen asked directly, his voice full of curiosity.

"How did you do that? All four spirit rings are ten thousand years old? How is that possible? The limits of the human body aren't..."

"dream!"

Xiao Hongchen quickly interrupted his sister, his brows furrowing slightly as he gave her a wink.

Meng Hongchen paused for a moment, then realized something and reluctantly shut his mouth.

Huo Yuhao found the siblings' reaction somewhat amusing.

He smiled and spoke in a relaxed tone.

"If you'd like to join Shrek Academy, that's also possible."

Upon hearing this, both Xiao Hongchen and Meng Hongchen were stunned.

The two looked at each other, both seeing a hint of surprise in each other's eyes.

Good buddy.

They haven't even started trying to win over Huo Yuhao yet, and he's already trying to win them over?!

Moreover... judging from Huo Yuhao's tone, it's as if they could easily obtain a ten-thousand-year soul ring just by going to that academy.

What kind of monsters are gathered at that academy?

Xiao Hongchen's curiosity about Shrek Academy in the sky grew even stronger.

However, he quickly understood the meaning behind Huo Yuhao's words.

Huo Yuhao's soul ring configuration is indeed related to his Shrek Academy.

Xiao Hongchen nodded slightly and did not ask any further questions.

Just then, Ji Juechen, who hadn't left yet, also heard Huo Yuhao's words.

He stood not far away, holding the black longsword in his hand, his pale face having recovered somewhat.

Those cold eyes fell on Huo Yuhao, a thoughtful look flashing in them.

Joining that college... is that also possible?

A faint sense of curiosity welled up in Ji Juechen's heart.

However, he didn't ask any questions; he just stood there quietly.

Seeing that the atmosphere was a bit awkward, Meng Hongchen quickly spoke up to break the silence.

"Alright, alright, let's not talk about this anymore."

She waved her hand, a gleam of joy flashing in her large blue eyes.

"Huo Yuhao, you haven't been to our auction house yet, have you?"

Huo Yuhao was slightly taken aback and shook his head.

"Not yet."

"That's perfect!"

Meng Hongchen clapped his hands and smiled.

"There's an auction later, which I was planning to go to anyway. I'll take you with me so you can see what it's like!"

"Our Sun Moon Empire's auctions are quite interesting; they have many rare items that you can't buy anywhere else!"

Xiao Hongchen nodded upon hearing this.

"Well, it might be good to go and take a look. Maybe we'll find something useful."

Huo Yuhao thought for a moment and nodded.

"it is good."

The three of them then walked out of the academy.

Ji Juechen watched their departing figures, remained silent for a moment, and then turned and walked in another direction.

……

Sun and Moon Empire, Royal Auction House.

This is a magnificent building, constructed entirely of white boulders. At the entrance stand two tall stone sculptures, each carved with a lifelike image of a spirit beast.

Upon entering the auction hall, a huge circular hall comes into view, surrounded by layers of VIP rooms. In the center is a wide auction stage covered with a red velvet carpet, which looks particularly luxurious under the lights.

By this time, quite a few people were already seated in the auction hall, chatting quietly in small groups.

Xiao Hongchen was clearly a regular here; as soon as he entered, a waiter greeted him respectfully.

"Young Master Xiao Hongchen, your private room is ready. Please follow me."

Xiao Hongchen nodded and followed the waiter toward a VIP room on the second floor.

The private room wasn't large, but it was decorated quite exquisitely, with a soft leather sofa and a mahogany coffee table on which were set out delicate pastries and tea.

Through the crystal glass at the front of the private room, you can clearly see every detail on the auction stage below.

Huo Yuhao sat down on the sofa, his gaze falling on the auction hall below through the glass.

"It has begun."

Meng Hongchen sat next to Huo Yuhao, his tone filled with excitement.

On the auction stage, a well-dressed middle-aged man walked up, holding a small hammer in his hand and wearing a professional smile.

"Distinguished guests, welcome to the Royal Auction House. Today's auction is now in session!"

"The first item up for auction is Millennium Cold Iron, weighing approximately thirty pounds. Its pure quality makes it an excellent material for crafting Level 5 Soul Tools. Starting bid: XX Gold Soul Coins!" (The price will not be specified for now.)

Huo Yuhao glanced at the piece of metal, which gleamed with a cold, eerie light, displayed by the auctioneer below the stage, then looked away.

Millennia-old cold iron?

It would be considered a valuable item outside, but in Shrek Academy's warehouse, it's nothing special.

Xiao Hongchen noticed Huo Yuhao's expression and couldn't help but feel a little curious.

"What? You don't like it?"

“Our college has quite a few as well.”

Xiao Hongchen's lips twitched, and he secretly wondered just how rich this guy's academy must be.

The next few items were mostly rare metals and minerals.

Crimson Copper, Mystic Ice Stone, Stardust...

Looking at Huo Yuhao's worldly-wise demeanor, Xiao Hongchen felt even more defeated.

"Next up is today's fifth item!"

The auctioneer's voice rang out again, tinged with excitement.

"This is a level four soul tool, the Thunder Bracelet! Once activated, it can form a lightning shield around the body, with astonishing defensive capabilities! Starting bid: XX gold soul coins!"

Huo Yuhao finally raised his head.

His gaze pierced through the crystal glass and landed on the soul tool on the auction stage.

It was a silver-white wristband, its surface engraved with countless soul power circuits, which flickered with faint blue arcs of electricity under the light.

Huo Yuhao's eyes narrowed slightly.

The design of this Thunder Wristband... he had never seen it before!

I want to dismantle it and then conduct research.

Seeing Huo Yuhao's interested expression, Xiao Hongchen couldn't help but smile.

"What? You've got your eye on someone?"

"Ah."

Huo Yuhao nodded.

"I've never seen this wristband design before, and I'd like to buy it to study it."

"That's easy."

Xiao Hongchen smiled and waved his hand.

"I'll lend you money, you can take the photos first, and pay me back slowly later."

"Need not."

Huo Yuhao shook his head, his tone calm.

"I have my own money."

Xiao Hongchen paused for a moment, then seemed to realize something, and his lips twitched involuntarily.
