Douluo Continent: I Have a Diverse Order-Taking Platform

Chapter 138 Zero-Yuan Purchase "Shop" (6k) (Please Subscribe)

The moment the news hit, and as the screen was once again filled with air currents, a huge uproar erupted in the stunned audience.

The entire Starlight Auction House seemed to explode; everyone's breathing became heavy.

You should know that the embryo is a treasure with a certain probability of granting a Soul Master a second Martial Soul!

Once they succeed—even those with slightly less talent can be guaranteed a title of Douluo; and if they are truly a chosen one of heaven, they are absolute monsters!

Even if it really doesn't work out, I'll still have a 100,000-year soul ring and soul bone! An unprecedented greed surged into my heart!

"Bang!"

"I must get it!"

Inside a room at the Sun Moon Royal Soul Master Academy, Xiao Hongchen, who had just calmed down with the comfort of his younger sister, slammed his fist on the table and stood up after hearing the introduction of the auction items! He was so excited that his body was trembling.

That's the second martial soul!

Even when hailed as the number one genius of the Sun Moon Empire, Xiao Hongchen still has the right to be arrogant.

The Three-Legged Golden Toad Martial Soul, possessing the bloodline of a divine beast, also has a unique advantage in terms of Soul Mastery.

Even without a second martial soul, he was confident that he could break through to Super Douluo.

But if he really had a second martial soul, he would be very confident that he could get a glimpse of the Limit Douluo level!

Even in terms of Soul Masters, his confidence is this high.

Not to mention Soul Masters!

Legend has it that the level above a level nine Soul Master is a level ten Soul Master. However, since the founding of the Sun Moon Empire, no Soul Master has ever truly reached that level.

It's laughable how worldly people can be so foolish, yet I have confidence that I can do it!

Once that time comes, with the combined power of Soul Master and Soul Instructor, and the combined achievements of Limit Douluo and Level 10 Soul Instructor, no matter what kind of ultimate Soul Master you are, who can be your opponent?

No matter how strong Liu Yuan, the Valkyrie, or Huo Yuhao are, they'll all have to drink his foot bath water in the end!

Who else?!

Filled with ambition and determination, Xiao Hongchen was practically daydreaming. He then resolutely looked at Elder Ma beside him, "Elder Ma, I'm taking this item! I didn't get the Ice Jade Scorpion Soul Bone before, I can't give up on this one no matter what!"

"this--"

A troubled look appeared on Old Ma's face.

In principle, he does not object.

He even wholeheartedly agreed.

The problem is that the starting bid for this 100,000-year-old transformed soul beast embryo is 100 million gold soul coins.

Based on its value, it might be worth up to 200 million gold soul coins in the end.

"Brother, I don't have any money."

Before Old Ma could even speak, Meng Hongchen poured cold water on his enthusiasm.

"Dream! This embryo is very important."

Xiao Hongchen reiterated this point.

Meng Hongchen shook her head helplessly, "Brother, I don't have any money."

Xiao Hongchen still refused to give up. "If I'm lucky enough to get twin martial souls, then I'm confident that I won't be outdone by those Shrek guys!"

"Dream! You have to help me!"

Meng Hongchen spread his hands, "I have no money."

Regardless of what Xiao Hongchen said, Meng Hongchen, though inwardly agreeing, was powerless to help. All she could get in return were two words: "No money."

"this--"

After repeating this several times, Xiao Hongchen didn't speak again.

Damn!

Why didn't you bring enough money?

They are now willing but unable to do anything about it.

Although the Sun Moon Royal Soul Master Academy is wealthy, the event expenses for participating in this Soul Battle Tournament could never reach such an outrageous amount as hundreds of millions of gold soul coins. Not to mention, this is an auction, and the actual transaction price will definitely be much higher than the current one hundred million. "Should we give up!?"

Laughing at the world's vicissitudes, I am unwilling to accept it.

What a great opportunity!

As a result, we had to watch it slip away to someone else!

At that very moment, the Star Luo Empire finally revealed its true intentions.

They carefully cast their bait and opened their nets, now waiting for their prey to come to them.

Xu Jiujiu suggested that the auction could be conducted using collateral to facilitate financing for bidders with insufficient funds. However, the auction house would charge a 20% handling fee for this process.

"Very good!"

It's like finding a new path after a dark period!

For a moment, Xiao Hongchen's emotions were written all over his face. They didn't bring enough money, but they certainly had plenty of soul tools.

Even though the soul tools he possessed, apart from those given to him by his grandfather, were only enough to make a pittance if he sold them, Old Ma was a level nine soul master.

As everyone knows, if you exchange a level nine Soul Master's Soul Tool for Gold Soul Coins, you'd be rolling in money!

"Old Ma!"

Without saying a word, Xiao Hongchen explained his intentions.

"No!"

Without even thinking, Mr. Ma refused outright.

In his view, this was aiding the enemy. As a level nine Soul Master, he was naturally not a fool, so how could he not see through the Starlight Auction House's intentions?

Of course, if he saw it, others could also see it, even Xiao Hongchen himself understood.

The Starlight Auction House was there for the soul tools of the Sun Moon Empire. Laughable Red Dust thought it was well worth it!

In his view, what difference would it make if those soul tools were sold? With the Star Luo Empire's level of soul tool technology, no matter how much they were disassembled, they couldn't easily research them.

Therefore, using these soul tools to exchange for the possibility of becoming a future powerhouse is a worthwhile deal.

"If you don't agree, then I'll use what Grandpa gave me." With that, Xiao Hongchen turned to leave the room.

Upon hearing this, Old Ma exclaimed, "This is outrageous!"

As the head of Mingde Hall, the Master of Hongchen Hall is undoubtedly among the top five in the field of soul tools. His level-nine soul tools are clearly more valuable than his own. If they were to be sold to the Starlight Auction House, the consequences would be far more serious than his own.

"Wait! Come back first!"

Old Ma quickly spoke up, calling out to Xiao Hongchen to stop.

After much hesitation, I reluctantly agreed to his decision.

Who could blame them? The scheme orchestrated by Starlight Auction House was a greedy and seductive scheme. There was no solution.

Meanwhile, in room number seven.

The voice beside him did not interrupt Liu Yuan's thoughts. He sat on the sofa, but his mind was focused on Xu Jiujiu's explanation of how a transformed soul beast embryo could be converted into a second martial soul.

Once this transformed soul beast embryo successfully transforms into a martial soul, then the soul ring and soul bone will be gone.

That's missing; it's based on their calculation that this transformed soul beast simply has 100,000 years of cultivation. But the Snow Empress's cultivation is extremely profound; could there be an exception?

Before he could think it through, a silent battle broke out.

On the soul guide screen, the price numbers began to fluctuate rapidly. One hundred million, one hundred and one million, one hundred million—in less than a minute, the price of this 100,000-year-old soul beast embryo had climbed to one hundred and ten million gold soul coins. The speed at which it rose astonished the Shrek Academy members.

"Wow, that's an exaggeration."

Wang Dong'er couldn't help but marvel.

"So what if I get a second martial soul? It's not that bad, I guess." She pointed to the two people next to her, then added herself. "Look, Xiao Xiao, Huo Yuhao, and I all have twin martial souls."

Liu Yuan: "."

This girl, what a Versailles!

"On the contrary, I'd rather value a 100,000-year soul ring and a soul bone," Wang Dong'er said smugly, unaware that she was being mocked.

"Yeah?"

The one who spoke was none other than Di Qiu'er.

It seems she couldn't stand Wang Dong'er's pretense any longer. Her expression and tone remained normal. "Ten-thousand-year spirit rings and spirit bones are actually not bad. Like, my teacher promised me he'd get me three ten-thousand-year spirit rings, and even the resulting spirit bones. So, I'm not lacking in spirit rings and spirit bones."

Wang Dong'er's eyes widened instantly!

No!

How can you be so good at pretending!

However, their verbal exchange affected the others. Apart from Liu Yuan and Huo Yuhao, everyone else couldn't help but chuckle awkwardly.

It's because they not only lack twin martial souls, but they also lack a guaranteed 100,000-year soul ring and soul bone.

Oh, no, I shouldn't say "them".

It refers specifically to Beibei alone.

If we don't include teacher Wang Yan, then only Bei Bei has neither twin martial souls nor the promise to obtain a 100,000-year soul ring and soul bone for him.

Even if he is Elder Mu's great-grandson. Of course, this doesn't mean that Bei Bei won't have a 100,000-year soul ring and soul bone. It just means he didn't receive a promise, that's all.

"Brother, do you want to photograph this embryo?"

Perhaps noticing Liu Yuan's gaze fixed on the screen, Huo Yuhao, who knew him well, quickly guessed what Liu Yuan was thinking.

"That's right."

Liu Yuan's answer attracted everyone's attention.

"Almost no one who cultivates a single martial soul can resist the temptation of twin martial souls. Let's not talk about anything else, just consider the nine empty slots for spirit rings when you reach the Title Douluo level."

"If we complete it, how much soul power cultivation can nine soul rings bring, how much physical strength can they enhance, and how many years of arduous cultivation can be saved? Even if we abandon our second martial soul, it will still be a gain."

Makes sense!

Everyone nodded in agreement instinctively. After all, isn't that the most obvious advantage of having twin martial souls?

"Secondly—" Liu Yuan paused slightly, then turned his gaze to the embryo of a 100,000-year-old transformed soul beast.

"Soul beasts that can reach 100,000 years of age are not ordinary beings. Even if a pig is lucky enough to cultivate for 100,000 years, its bloodline will have already undergone a transformation. In general, a 100,000-year-old soul beast is considered a top-tier martial soul compared to our martial souls."

"Except for—certain special cases."

Liu Yuan didn't make any definitive statements. However, when he mentioned "certain special cases," he couldn't help but look at Huo Yuhao.

Who are these special cases?

That's so hard to guess.

Huo Yuhao gave an awkward smile. Because within his spiritual sea, an indignant roar was already echoing!

"What does he mean! What does he mean!?"

Tianmeng Ice Silkworm waved its tentacles angrily and aggrievedly, "Who is he targeting with his 'certain exceptions'?!"

"That goes without saying." Hyotei glanced at Tenmeng Ice Silkworm with undisguised disdain.

"You're just a piece of trash."

The truth is the hardest to bear.

Now, Tianmeng Ice Silkworm felt extremely wronged!

"I'm a million-year-old soul beast, after all—"

"Ha!" Upon hearing this, Hyotei scoffed coldly.

"Wouldn't that be even more useless?"

"Waaaaah, Bingbing—"

"roll!"

Having shielded himself from the arguments within his spiritual sea, Huo Yuhao felt a pang of embarrassment. But when he noticed that the embryo of a 100,000-year-old transformed soul beast had jumped to 150 million gold soul coins, he gasped in shock.

"That's so expensive!"

"Actually, I can understand it."

Wang Yan explained, "Just as Liu Yuan just said, the bloodline of a 100,000-year-old soul beast is basically equivalent to a top-tier martial soul in the soul beast world. Whether you get a top-tier martial soul, a 100,000-year-old soul ring, or a soul bone at this price, it's a worthwhile investment."

After all, many powerful Title Douluos don't even have a 100,000-year soul ring, and even Shrek Academy, which is the number one power, is the same.

"Sigh, looking at the still-jumping amount, Wang Yan, who had just finished explaining, couldn't help but rub his temples in annoyance."

Liu Yuan wanted it, and logically, the academy should have used its funds to bid for it. But the problem was—there wasn't enough money!

I'm sorry.

Make bricks without straw.

Realizing that he could only miss out on this 100,000-year-old transformed soul beast embryo, Wang Yan said this to Liu Yuan.

Who would have thought—

"fine."

Liu Yuan remained unusually calm, a stark contrast to the "desire" that had just been revealed in his eyes.

Just moments ago, Xuanzi used his voice to transmit a message to Liu Yuan. He said that he couldn't borrow the money, but he had already planned to join forces with the Star Luo Empire to make a profit from the Sun Moon Royal Soul Master Academy.

After making a risk-free deal, the embryo would belong to Liu Yuan.

That is why Liu Yuan's emotions were unusually calm.

As for the murder and robbery that Xuanzi mentioned—

Liu Yuan said: "Isn't this just the murder and robbery that always happens after an auction in fantasy novels? I'm very familiar with this kind of plot."

Anyway, I'm determined to get my hands on the Snow Empress embryo. Besides, I'm not a good person, and I'm ruthless. So be it, I'll kill and steal.

Inside VIP room number one, "Your Majesty, shall we raise the price further?"

Seeing that the price of a 100,000-year-old transformed soul beast embryo had jumped to 170 million gold soul coins, the eunuch cautiously inquired about Xu Jiawei, who was in charge of the operation.

At this moment, Xu Jiawei was holding a redemption slip in his hand. It recorded how many gold soul coins the Sun Moon Royal Soul Master Academy had just exchanged for using soul tools at the counter. This caused the corners of Xu Jiawei's mouth to involuntarily turn up in a smile.

"Let them add another ten million."

Xu Jiawei gave the instructions.

In his view, they were still some distance from the limits of the Sun Moon Royal Soul Master Academy. He needed to remain calm and take back all the money he had exchanged with them.

"Yes."

The eunuch quickly relayed the message using a soul communication device.

Before long, the price on the Soul Guide screen soared to an astronomical 180 million gold soul coins.

"Damn it!" In his room at the Sun Moon Royal Soul Master Academy, Xiao Hongchen was furious!

Raise the price!

This is definitely price gouging!

I've been tricked by capital again!

The Starlight Auction House and the Starry Sky Royal Family are all eyeing him like sheep, desperately trying to fleece him!

"Stop laughing! Why don't we just call it quits!" Seeing her brother acting like a gambler, Meng Hongchen quickly spoke up to dissuade him.

The Star Luo Empire is really fearless!

"Just once! I'll just do it one last time!"

He laughed, panting heavily, his eyes bloodshot.

If you dare to raise the price again, I'm done with it!

So, Xiao Hongchen went all in, betting all the gold soul coins he had earned from exchanging for soul tools!

In an instant, the amount on the Soul Guidance screen jumped to two hundred million!

As Xiao Hongchen stared at the screen, wondering if the price would continue to climb, the auction price had already settled at 200 million, and no one dared to bid further.

Xiao Hongchen breathed a sigh of relief. This meant that he had successfully acquired the 100,000-year-old transformed soul beast embryo.

"Finally got it."

After the auction concluded, Starlight Auction House presented the auctioned items. Looking at the wooden tray, Xiao Hongchen felt a surge of excitement.

But when he thought that this 100,000-year-old transformed soul beast embryo was actually captured by a level nine soul master of the Sun Moon Empire, Xiao Hongchen felt a burning hatred.

This is treason!

For no reason, it was put up for auction by the Star Luo Empire, which led the Star Luo Empire to plunder the Sun Moon Royal Soul Master Academy and even the empire's wealth.

This is blatant aiding the enemy!

But this anger was quickly suppressed.

He handed the embryo to Elder Ma and instructed him, "Elder Ma, please return to the Sun Moon Empire and give this 100,000-year-old transformed soul beast embryo to your grandfather for processing."

When the photos were first taken, the situation was fine.

What Xiao Hongchen was truly worried about was what would happen if he kept the 100,000-year-old transformed soul beast embryo by his side and then took it all back together after the competition—

That period will undoubtedly provide many people with an opportunity to prepare. What awaits them then will likely be the sharpened blades of many powerful forces.

So no matter what, this hot potato has to be sent away now. At least, before they take any action.

"Leave it to me!"

Old Master Ma said with a serious expression, "I will return through Mingde Hall's secret channels in Xingluo City."

They spent a considerable amount of soul tools to acquire this embryo. If they lose it, the Sun Moon Royal Soul Master Academy will truly suffer a huge loss!

After the auction in Linn, everyone returned to the hotel.

Coincidentally, they ran right into the Sun Moon Royal Soul Master Academy team. But after only a glance, the latter's gaze shifted abruptly, and their pace quickened. It was as if they weren't opponents, but strangers, or perhaps—something to be avoided at all costs?

"Isn't something wrong with them?" With her light blue hair tossed back, Wang Dong'er reached out to touch them, wrinkling her nose as she looked thoughtful.

This scene surprised Liu Yuan.

When did Dong'er start using her brain?!

and--

"You could even sense that something was wrong?"

Upon noticing Liu Yuan's slightly surprised gaze, Wang Dong'er, knowing his thoughts, immediately became displeased!

What does that mean?!

Am I not supposed to notice?!

With a swift movement, her small hand landed on Liu Yuan's waist. Although she didn't physically attack, the threat was palpable.

This made Liu Yuan quickly chuckle and change the subject.

"Didn't you ask what was wrong? First, the leader of the Sun Moon Royal Soul Master Academy didn't come; second, judging from their cautious approach, the embryo should be in their hands."

Oh, really!?

Wang Dong'er immediately became interested.

But before she could even speak—

"That makes a lot of sense."

Wang Yan then picked up the conversation. At that moment, a flash of white light seemed to streak across the lenses of his glasses. "I reckon that besides the wealthiest Nine Treasure Glazed Tile School, only they could probably afford to bid two hundred million gold soul coins for that embryo."

"It seems their leader must have taken the embryo and returned to the Sun Moon Empire overnight."

They're afraid of being murdered and robbed of their treasure!

The same thought popped into everyone's mind.

But in their view, this matter had nothing to do with them. In addition, they had a game tomorrow, so after a brief discussion, they returned to their respective rooms to rest.

However, before returning to her room, Di Qiu'er stopped Liu Yuan alone.

Just as he was wondering what was wrong with Di Qiu'er, she suddenly spoke up, "If you're going out, take me with you. We can look out for each other."

Upon hearing this, Liu Yuan was taken aback.

Why do you want to go out?

Of course, after a moment of confusion, he quickly realized what Di Qiu'er meant.

"Don't worry, I won't go. Because—"

Some people have already set off.

After seeing Di Qiu'er off, Liu Yuan stood by the window, gazing at the moonlight.

If it weren't for the Soul Guiding Lamp illuminating the city, the weather today would probably be dark and stormy.

As for the suburbs—

It was probably a desolate and bleak scene.

At this moment, on the outskirts of Star Luo City, Elder Ma, who had just emerged from a secret passage, streaked across the sky. He was currently heading towards the Sun Moon Empire.

After he quickly left the city, he equipped himself with an eighth-level flying soul tool, fearing that someone might be chasing him from behind.

Of course, he didn't forget to be wary of what lay ahead. He was also afraid that someone might have set up an ambush along this road.

Fortunately, when Xingluo City became just a small black dot, Old Ma realized that there were no pursuers behind him and no obstacles in front of him.

My tense heart suddenly relaxed.

Although he was only a level 91 Title Douluo, he possessed an eighth-level flying soul tool, which greatly enhanced his endurance and speed, far surpassing that of ordinary Title Douluos. Now, few could catch up with him.

And on the other hand—

"The Star Luo Empire is quite authentic."

Old Ma muttered to himself.

No sooner had he spoken than a frail, inexplicably aged voice suddenly rang in his ear: “Oh, you run pretty fast.”

Instantly, Old Ma felt like his head was about to explode!

I spoke too soon!

You bunch of bastards from the Star Luo Empire, you're utterly authentic! So you weren't chasing after them because someone else was waiting!

Especially those who appear silently and suddenly, only revealing themselves to others, are definitely at the level of a Super Douluo.

This was Mr. Ma's first thought.

As for the second one—

We must strike first! Otherwise, we're doomed!

Without even looking, Old Ma's storage soul tool lit up with white light, and he flicked it sharply in the direction of the sound, sending three beams of white light flying out instantly!

However, "Bang bang bang—"

The expected explosion did not occur. Instead, there were three slightly low rumbles.

This reaction made Mr. Ma's heart sink to the bottom.

I just fired three level-seven fixed-position soul-guided cannon shells! And they achieved absolutely nothing?!

Suddenly, Mr. Ma felt a blur before his eyes.

When they looked closely, they discovered that less than a hundred meters away, there was a disheveled old man with only nine fingers, who was gnawing on a chicken leg in one hand, standing there with the old man.

This man was clearly full of weaknesses, but why did Boss Ma feel that if he rushed in and attacked directly, the result would be the same?

dead!
