Douluo Continent: The Great Summoner Huo Yuhao

"Twelve million..." Ling Luochen's gaze was blank. As an ice-type soul master, she naturally knew the value of Ice Explosion Technique, but the price of twelve million was a bit too high, and this was just the starting bid.

Although the Ice Emperor was no longer in a hurry, Huo Yuhao was completely uncertain.

Zhang Lexuan had said so much before, promising many benefits, which made him the person with the highest authority present.

But spending tens of millions at once?

If Ice Empress belongs to Shrek Academy, it's possible they'd buy this soul bone just for her super strength.

But will Hyotei listen to orders?

The result is self-evident; it clearly won't happen.

The bidding numbers kept jumping, and soon the price of the Ice Jade Scorpion's left arm bone was bid up to 20 million.

Huo Yuhao's eyelids twitched, but in the end he still couldn't muster the courage to make a bid.

"I'm sorry, Hyotei... I'm just a student, I can't afford to spend that much of the academy's money."

Faced with Huo Yuhao's apology, Hyotei didn't even blink, and calmly said:

"It doesn't matter, I'll take action!"

Since Huo Yuhao wouldn't buy it for her, she had no choice but to steal it herself. As a soul beast, she didn't need to care about the thoughts of humans.

In the end, a mysterious guest made a strong bid of 3000 million gold soul coins to acquire the Ice Jade Scorpion's left arm bone.

Soon, the final item, the highlight of the auction, appeared on the Soul Guide screen.

"The final item for auction: a 100,000-year-old soul beast embryo. That's right, a 100,000-year-old soul beast currently undergoing its transformation! Ladies and gentlemen, who here has ever seen such an unprecedented item?"

Even after a long time, the final grand finale still whetted everyone's appetite.

"Of course, the spirit rings and spirit bones produced by 100,000-year-old spirit beasts are extremely precious, as everyone knows. However, the items we are auctioning today are different..."

He paused deliberately, making his voice sound more composed, before continuing his introduction.

"The biggest difference between this embryo and a typical 100,000-year-old soul beast is that direct absorption has a chance to provide the soul master with a second acquired martial soul! Starting bid: 100 million gold soul coins!"

Silence, deathly silence.

For a moment, everyone was carefully considering every word Xu Jiujiu had said.

"Is this even possible?" Huo Yuhao turned to ask Bingdi and Xiaowu beside him.

Both of them looked very upset and seemed unwilling to answer the question.

"It's not that easy. Do you really think a 100,000-year-old soul beast would willingly be fused with by you humans? Even a Title Douluo wouldn't do it. Besides, even if you could force a fusion while the embryo's spiritual power is weak, there will still be hidden dangers as the martial soul grows stronger."

Xiao Wu, devoid of her usual liveliness, seemed like a completely different person as she explained to Huo Yuhao how naive Xu Jiujiu's explanation was.

"Something's not right... How can I sense her presence..." Hyotei's eyes flashed with confusion amidst his anger.

Just as the Shrek members were whispering among themselves, the door to the private room was opened, and Xu Jiawei led two elderly people in.

"Greetings, Your Majesty." Zhu Lu was the first to bow.

Upon seeing her actions, the rest of the Shrek Academy members instantly realized that the person who had arrived was the Emperor of the Star Luo Empire, and they quickly stood up to greet him.

"No need for formalities, everyone, I'll take care of it..." Xu Jiawei's heart skipped a beat the moment he caught sight of Hyotei out of the corner of his eye, and the guards who had been lurking in the shadows appeared and blocked his way.

Two titled Douluo and one Super Douluo surrounded Xu Jiawei as if facing a formidable enemy.

"Excuse me, was that embryo retrieved from the far north?"

Hyotei voiced his doubts while silently biting his lip.

Judging from the opponent's posture, if a fight really broke out, it seemed she wouldn't be able to take the hostage before the opponent destroyed the embryo on the stage.

"It seems so." Xu Jiawei tried to remain calm. He hadn't expected that coming to see Huo Yuhao would lead him to encounter such an extraordinary person.

Speaking of which, it's been a while since we've seen Protector Douluo Cheng Gang. Strengthening defenses was definitely the right decision.

"Ice Emperor..." Huo Yuhao had no idea why Ice Emperor suddenly had murderous intent. Could it be that she knew that embryo?

"Buy that embryo, Yuhao. I'm willing to do anything, even die or give my life, as long as you promise to treat her well after you buy her."

If that embryo really is Xue Di, then she has no choice but to compromise and ask Huo Yuhao for help, using human rules to save Xue Di. She would rather die herself than let Xue Di die.

"Huh!?" Huo Yuhao was stunned; this problem seemed a bit serious.

"It seems I've arrived at the worst possible time..."

Taking advantage of the fact that Hyotei didn't intend to destroy everything, Xu Jiawei turned and left. Although he didn't know the reason, saving his life was always the best option.

At the same time, he silently sighed in his heart that planning to do Huo Yuhao a favor was definitely the right thing to do.

Of course, the formalities still need to be followed; otherwise, how would Huo Yuhao know how much of a favor he had done without going through the proper procedures?

Seeing that Xu Jiawei had left, Huo Yuhao hurriedly pressed Bingdi for answers.

"Hyotei, what did you just mean? I can't spend such a large sum of money for personal reasons..."

"Didn't I say I'd give my own life for it?! Soul rings, soul bones, take them all! I'd even sacrifice myself for you! Don't ask anymore, Yuhao, I'm begging you..."

Hyotei's voice gradually trembled, even turning into a sob.

"I'll do anything you ask, but you must save her..."

Huo Yuhao fell silent; what else could he say?

"Buy it, consider it a debt I owe the academy. After I go back, I'll start focusing on soul tools. An eighth-level soul tool can sell for over a million. Whether it's twenty or thirty years, I will repay the academy for today's expense, with interest!"

Gritting his teeth, Huo Yuhao made his decision and stared intently at the embryo on the screen.

Now we know that he must have been a very important person to Hyotei.

He had previously experienced the pain of losing his mother, and Wang Dong is still in a coma.

The previous soul bones were just inanimate objects, but the embryo is still alive. We absolutely cannot let Hyotei experience the pain of loss again!

The bidding that followed was incredibly fierce, and Huo Yuhao watched the constantly fluctuating numbers with bated breath.

He hadn't placed a bid yet, since the bidding was still incredibly fierce, and getting too involved would only drive up the price and plunge him into despair.

What he wanted was to wait for the pace to slow down before delivering a fatal blow, completely intimidating the others.

The price quickly reached the 140 million mark. After someone called out that price, there was a full three minutes of silence, with no one bidding again.

Huo Yuhao knew that the time had come.

"One hundred and fifty million..."

"Two hundred million! I'll bid two hundred million! Anyone else want to compete with me?"

Before the offer of 150 million could even be made, another extremely arrogant voice raised the price to another level.

Xiao Hongchen is also waiting for this moment that can awe others.
