Douluo Continent: Peerless Angel Qian Renxue

Chapter 251 A fool who pushes his own people away

Huo Yuhao forcibly raised his right hand, wanting to press the bidding button, but was slapped away by He Caitou.

"Ah!!" Huo Yuhao screamed in agony.

"Caitou, don't be so impulsive, tell me what's going on slowly!" Wang Yan shouted when he saw Huo Yuhao's right hand, which had just recovered a little, being slapped by He Caitou again, making his whole body sway as if it were about to fall apart.

He Caitou realized he had made a mistake, and he quickly explained how dangerous the carving knife was.

However, Huo Yuhao stared intently at the carving knife on the soul guide screen. He felt that if he didn't buy it, he would lose something very important.

He didn't know that this was actually an intuition he had as the chosen one of this era.

Wang Yan said seriously, "Yuhao, you really can't buy this. You were just seriously injured, and your body can't take any more damage. Even if your second martial soul can recover, I can't let you take such a risk."

Huo Yuhao bit his lip hard.

He Caitou said, "Junior brother, I know you have the talent to be a soul master. Later, I will talk to the teacher and prepare a carving knife for you, okay? We really can't accept this one."

"Huo Yuhao can't get into trouble. If something happens to him, how will I get revenge on the Sun Moon Empire?" He Caitou thought to himself.

"Okay, alright." Huo Yuhao covered his right hand, saying reluctantly.

In the end, Xiao Hongchen successfully bid for the carving knife for 110,000 gold soul coins, because no one else dared to buy it.

"This gift feels a bit light," Xiao Hongchen said. "Instructor, if you want anything better later, I'll help you."

Qian Renxue chuckled and said, "Thank you, I'll accept this gift. If I really need anything else, I won't stand on ceremony with you."

Master Ma and the others nodded in agreement. Spending some gold soul coins to befriend this girl seemed like a worthwhile investment.

At that moment, as the next item was brought up for auction, Hyotei, who had put on makeup, trembled in VIP Room Number Two.

With a flash of light and shadow, a soul bone, magnified many times over, appeared on the soul guidance screen.

This soul bone is entirely emerald green, with an emerald green halo flowing and undulating on it, as if it contains emerald green liquid.

Judging from its appearance, this is a left arm soul bone, with a faint white mist emanating from its emerald green body.

Because it was magnified many times, its strangeness was even more apparent. On the emerald green surface of this arm bone, there seemed to be tiny crystals, crystal clear, almost like they were carved from gemstones.

Compared to this, the other soul bones that had appeared before paled in comparison, clearly not in the same league.

"This, this is..." Hyotei bit her lip tightly, forcibly controlling her anger.

After a long silence, everyone at the auction learned that this top-grade soul bone came from a soul beast called the Ice Jade Scorpion, found in the core area of ​​the far north. Furthermore, only ice-attribute soul masters could absorb this soul bone, and its soul skill was solidified, named Ice Explosion Technique.

"Ice Explosion!" Hyotei's eyes darkened.

The Snow Emperor silently took her hand and transmitted his voice through his soul: "Bing'er, don't ruin your cultivation."

Hyotei controlled his emotions, completely suppressing the anger that was about to erupt.

"We want this soul bone," Qian Renxue said bluntly, "no matter the cost."

Hyotei once said that among her clansmen, there was a young Ice Jade Scorpion with extraordinary talent who, by chance, mastered the Ice Blast skill, a skill that even Hyotei herself had not learned.

Therefore, the Ice Jade Scorpion Clan had always focused on cultivating this genius, but lost contact with him several hundred years ago.

I never imagined I really was hunted down! And turned into a soul bone!

The VIP room where Shrek Academy was located instantly erupted into chaos. Huo Yuhao struggled to say, "Teacher, this soul bone..."

The longing in his eyes was undeniable.

Tianmeng Ice Silkworm said that his martial soul had a problem, and the Ice Jade Emperor's torso bone was helping him recover. If he could get this arm bone, it would definitely be helpful!

Wang Yan said in a deep voice, "We must get this soul bone. After we buy it, we'll give it to Huo Yuhao."

Ling Luochen's breathing instantly became labored.

Wang Yan said in a deep voice, "Ling Luochen, I know you are also an ice-attribute soul master, but Huo Yuhao's second spirit has shattered in order to protect Shrek Academy's honor. If he can obtain the blessing of this soul bone, then the recovery of his spirit will be accelerated." Ling Luochen's eyes changed. Although she also admired Huo Yuhao, when did he protect Shrek Academy's honor? Does cheating count as protecting honor?

Ma Xiaotao and Dai Yueheng chimed in, "Yes, Ling Luochen, if you really want a soul bone, you'll receive one as a reward after the Soul Master Competition ends."

Although they were unaware that only Soul Masters with the Ultimate Ice Soul Bone could absorb this Ice Jade Scorpion Soul Bone because they didn't receive a reminder from Ice Emperor this time.

But will there still be top-quality soul bones that match her attributes?

Shouldn't it be a competition between her and Huo Yuhao before making a decision?

Bei Bei and He Caitou naturally sided with Huo Yuhao. Xu Sanshi, who was also a pre-selected member of the Shrek Seven Devils like Huo Yuhao, also chose to speak up for Huo Yuhao. Although Xiao Xiao felt that the soul bone should be distributed, Huo Yuhao did need this soul bone to recover.

Wang Dong was absent because he disliked soul tools, leaving only Jiang Nannan.

Jiang Nannan frowned slightly. She wanted to say something, but the outcome was already decided.

The last glimmer of hope vanished from Ling Luochen's eyes. However, she didn't show much emotional fluctuation, perhaps because of her martial soul, which allowed her to maintain her icy composure.

To be precise, her mood was now truly as if she had fallen into an ice cellar.

She didn't know what Huo Yuhao had done for Shrek Academy besides showing off in the first match, that earned him the treatment of a son.

"Ten million, starting bid." A long, drawn-out voice echoed from the Soul Guidance screen.

"Eleven million."

"Twelve million."

Bidding calls continued to pour in.

After watching the constantly flashing auction prices for a long time, she thought to herself that she was determined to make Shrek Academy bleed a lot this time. So she said, "Distinguished guests, a regular 70,000-year-old soul bone usually fetches nearly ten million in the end. Could you offer a more competitive price?"

"Fifteen million."

This offer comes from VIP Room 6, CocoNail.

"Sixteen million!" Shrek Academy quoted.

"Twenty million." Coco Nair didn't hesitate and immediately announced the price again.

Twenty million! That's no small number. Even the annual tax revenue of Star Luo City is only about sixty million gold soul coins!

"VIP Room No. 6! Twenty million per auction!" After a long pause, he raised the gavel, thinking to himself, "Is the Chanel Chamber of Commerce really this extravagant?"

However, she was not worried about false reporting, because if someone couldn't pay after the auction, Starlight Auction House would expose that customer's information, making them unable to hold their head up in the entire Douluo business world.

"Damn it! Besides Shrek Academy, who else has this kind of financial resources?" Wang Yan couldn't sit still any longer. "Who owns this VIP room number six?"

Auctioneer Qingya hesitated for a moment: "VIP, our auction house is committed to maintaining confidentiality for our clients."

Shrek Academy is indeed wealthy, but it didn't come from thin air.

They recruit about a thousand unfortunate students each year, and then forcibly expel a small portion of them because they fail the first year's freshman assessment, which is held every three months. This way, they can earn a lot of gold soul coins.

In addition to the annual tax revenue from the millions of people in Shrek City, the income from their own Treasure Hunt Club, and donations from some graduates of previous years, their annual income is even higher than that of Douluo Three Kingdoms.

However, spending tens of millions for a single ten-thousand-year-old soul bone is no trivial matter, and Wang Yan doesn't have that much power.

"Twenty million, twice!" Xu Jiujiu slammed the auction gavel down again.

She deliberately slowed down a bit, just to see if Shrek Academy could offer a higher price.

Suddenly, Xuanzi's voice echoed in Wang Yan's mind: "Twenty-five million, that's the most I can get."

A surge of confidence instantly ignited in his eyes, and he waved his hand dismissively: "Twenty-five million!"

"Idiot!" Xuanzi cursed inwardly from the shadows. "You use as much as I give you?! Are you a moron?"
