Douluo Continent: Starting by controlling the Holy Maiden of the Holy Spirit Cult

Chapter 31 The Fat Evil's Friendship

Huo Yuhao said helplessly, "How did I become bad? I'm the Holy Son of the Holy Spirit Cult, I'm inherently bad, okay?"

Bibi Dong has been acting strangely lately. Could it be that she's raising him like a son? Huo Yuhao's thoughts naturally couldn't escape Bibi Dong's divine sense connection, and he was immediately blasted out of her sea of ​​consciousness.

"Get lost! You think you can be my son?"

While the two were talking, they had already walked through the corridor lined with beautiful women. The girl in the white dress led them up the golden stairs to the second floor of the Treasure Pavilion.

The second floor was much quieter than the first. While it appeared somewhat scattered, all the booths were arranged in the most logical and prominent positions. Each booth was enclosed by a huge crystal glass dome. Different items were displayed on the stands inside.

The girl in the white dress stopped in her tracks. "Welcome, distinguished guests, to the Treasure Pavilion's Treasure Appreciation Event. The event is being held on the second floor, and you are welcome to browse freely. If you find any items you like, please register to purchase them on the west side. If you wish to pay on credit, you can also have them appraised there. The appraisal result will determine the discount you receive and the amount you can pay on credit."

At this time, Huo Yuhao was just a freshman, and he was not a dual-core disciple as he was when he first came here in the original work. He might be expelled if he offended the higher-ups, so he naturally couldn't have any credit limit.

"Let me see what kind of soul bones there are first." Huo Yuhao himself had quite a bit of money, so there was no need for him to owe Shrek Academy a favor. He then began to browse the second floor. His main purpose for this trip was to find a soul bone with spatial attributes.

Compared to ten thousand years ago, the amount of soul bones produced on the continent has increased several times over, and many large auction houses sell soul bones. Of course, this is not limited to hunting soul beasts.

As everyone knows, even those who become Limit Douluo have a lifespan of only a few hundred years. Most Title Douluos choose to extract their soul bones before their death to benefit future generations. It cannot be ruled out that some stingy powerful beings might be targeted by tomb raiders after their death, since every powerful being with a soul bone has more or less demonstrated its abilities during their lifetime, making them easy targets for tomb raiders after death.

Another scenario involves two parties with a history of enmity, where the loser dies and is then subjected to torture and horrific acts, such as having their bones removed.

Therefore, in the auction house of Shrek City, which is overflowing with wealth, there have been booths displaying soul bones, with countless soul bones of various ranks on display.

However, most of these soul bones are hundred-year soul bones, and thousand-year soul bones are quite rare. It seems that many of those high-level soul bones have been given away to the students of Shrek Academy.

Huo Yuhao naturally looked down on these century-old soul bones, casually glanced around, shook his head, and walked away.

Seeing that Huo Yuhao showed no interest in these low-level soul bones, the girl in the white dress quickly came forward and said, "Honorable Soul Master, if there are no suitable soul bones for you here, why not try your luck at the Bone Gambling Arena?"

"A gambling den?" Huo Yuhao had never heard of such a place in the original novel.

"Yes, some Soul Masters choose to transport the carcasses of Soul Beasts to auction houses for sale after hunting them. The complete flesh and blood of Soul Beasts are also precious tonics for disciples of some large families and sects. And there are even Soul Bones hidden among them that have not been discovered by the hunters, so the luck of the contestants is extremely important."

Oh, to put it bluntly, it means you spend a lot of money to buy a useless soul beast corpse. If you're lucky, you might get a soul bone from it; if you're unlucky, you'll just be spending hundreds of times the price to buy a super nourishing meal.

"Let's go take a look then." Huo Yuhao nodded. Not to mention that he had the cheat of mental detection, there were also two treasure appraisal masters in the sea of ​​his mind. Maybe he could find some treasures there.

"Please follow me." The girl in the white dress led the way, her slender waist swaying, revealing glimpses of her snow-white skin, which Huo Yuhao found incredibly satisfying.

Soon, the two passed through a corridor and arrived at a quiet side room, where the gruesome corpses of soul beasts lay on various tables.

The girl in the white dress whispered something to a staff member next to her, and then asked the staff member to lead Huo Yuhao inside in her place. Obviously, she was not qualified to set foot in this place.

Huo Yuhao noticed that there were also groups of Soul Masters strolling around, and some of them were even wearing Shrek Academy's poop-green school uniforms.

After the corpses of these spirit beasts were washed, the smell was well covered by glass covers, so they would not cause any aversion to people with weaker tolerance.

A boy wearing a Shrek Academy uniform noticed Huo Yuhao because although Huo Yuhao was wearing the Shrek Academy badge, he wasn't wearing that disgusting uniform.

"Hello, are you also a freshman?" The boy was overweight with messy short black hair and a height of at least 1.7 meters, much taller than Huo Yuhao. More importantly, his waistline was probably close to 1.7 meters as well...

Just standing there, he looks like a small mountain of flesh.

"Hello, my name is Huo Yuhao." Huo Yuhao immediately recognized the visitor's identity, after all, there was only one person of this size among the freshmen.

"Evil Illusion Moon." The fat man grinned. "You're here to gamble on bones too? How about we buy one together and try our luck?"

Huo Yuhao chuckled. In the original story, this fat man was considered wise beyond his years, possessing a rare beast spirit called Pipi Elephant. This spirit naturally possessed extremely powerful defense. Ordinary attacks wouldn't be enough to break through his ball-like defense. There were only two methods: one was an extreme attribute attack, such as high-temperature flames or ultra-low-temperature freezing; the other was extreme sharpness.

Although the original work doesn't provide much background information about Xie Huanyue, the fact that he reached level 30 soul power at the age of twelve, even surpassing Ning Tian, ​​the successor of the Nine Treasure Glazed Tile School, suggests that he must have either accumulated substantial resources or possess extraordinary talent.

"Brother Xie, you're too kind. Let's just consider this a friendly gesture. Which one do you like? I'll give it to you." Huo Yuhao patted Xie Huanyue on the back with an air of wealth and generosity, acting as if they were best friends.

The most expensive soul beast corpse here is only worth a few hundred thousand gold soul coins, which is nothing to Huo Yuhao, whose net worth is over a hundred million.

Upon hearing this, Xie Huanyue's small eyes widened instantly. He paused for a moment, then burst into laughter, grabbing Huo Yuhao's hand. "Alright! From now on, we're friends. If any of the freshmen mess with you, just mention my name!"

"Then I'll have to rely on Brother Xie a lot from now on." Huo Yuhao smiled on the surface, but in reality, he felt a chill in his heart. The fat man holding his hand felt like sinking into a pool of fat.

"We're on the same side, we're on the same side!" Xie Huanyue patted her big belly happily.

This guy was quite blunt, directly selecting the largest giant ape corpse, with a starting bid as high as 200,000 gold soul coins.

Seeing the gleam in his eyes as he looked at the corpse, Huo Yuhao's probing had achieved its purpose. It seemed that this prodigy did not have a powerful background like Ning Tian.

It would be a real shame not to bring such a gifted person onto your warship.

As Huo Yuhao was pondering this, Bibi Dong's urgent voice rang in his mind.

"Quick, Yuhao, choose that Purple Cloud Eagle!"

Huo Yuhao followed Bibi Dong's spiritual guidance and walked forward. On a table, there was a bird carcass with a wingspan of two and a half meters.

"This body of the Purple Cloud Eagle was accidentally discovered in the Star Dou Great Forest by a senior member of our organization named Xiao Huohuo. The battle suit woven from its feathers is not only lightweight, but also extremely powerful in terms of defense," the staff member kindly explained.

"Then please include this in the price list as well." Huo Yuhao casually said to the staff, looking like he was rich and capricious. Compared to the price of 200,000 gold soul coins for the giant ape that Xie Huanyue had chosen, the starting price for this bird was less than 50,000.

The staff didn't ask any more questions, because most of the Soul Masters who dared to come to the Bone Gambling Arena were vengeful spirits. Among the corpses of ten thousand Soul Beasts, it was not guaranteed that a single hidden Soul Bone could be found. After all, Soul Bones could usually be found immediately when a Soul Beast was killed. Even if some were hidden, the hunting team consisted of experienced Soul Masters, and they had already carefully examined all the Soul Beast corpses.

"Hello, would you two like to pay together?" The staff member asked Huo Yuhao and his companion after someone had packed up the soul beast corpses.

"Together." Huo Yuhao stepped forward naturally. At this moment, being too pretentious would only prevent him from gaining Xie Huanyue's friendship.

Seeing Huo Yuhao, who kept his word and bought her the valuable corpse of a soul beast, Xie Huanyue's face finally began to change slightly.

"Let's go, Brother Xie." Huo Yuhao casually handed the large bag containing the giant ape's corpse to Xie Huanyue and prepared to leave.

"Young Master Huo, calling me 'Brother Xie' is too much. If you don't mind, you can call me Fatty Xie in the future." Xie Huanyue said to Huo Yuhao with great joy, carrying a large bag.

Huo Yuhao's mind stirred slightly. He thought that in the original story, the fat man might not have been able to obtain this corpse because of his wealth, which led to his strength being left further and further behind by the protagonist group in the later stages.

Could my unintentional actions have had some impact on the world line?

He had never heard of what changes a giant ape's remains could bring to the Pipi Elephant Martial Soul.

I have a different idea for Xie Huanyue's martial soul, which I believe will bring a different experience to all readers!

Save up a few more chapters, and then release a huge burst of chapters later!
