Douluo Continent: The Cataclysm of the Dead - Huo Yuhao

When it comes to familiarity with the Starlight Auction House, Huo Yuhao is undoubtedly the most knowledgeable.

However, on the surface, he naturally had to pretend that it was his first time there.

Led by Qingya, they walked to the end, where two girls in long gold dresses came to greet them. After bowing slightly to everyone, they exchanged a few words with Qingya. Then, one of the girls turned to the wall and raised her right hand to press lightly on it.

Suddenly, a strange scene unfolded. Rippling light patterns appeared on the wall, and then the layers of light gradually stabilized.

Water-like light patterns appeared on the wall, and then the layers of light gradually stabilized.

The girl placed her palm on it, and a horizontal light pattern swept down from top to bottom. Then, with a hum, the wall slowly opened to both sides, revealing a passage.

However, most of the people were only surprised for a moment, since such methods were nothing special in the Sun Moon Empire.

The floor, ceiling, and walls were all paved with a translucent white jade. Beneath the jade, there were subtle, dark patterns. Although the exact design of these patterns was unclear, they were clearly a more refined version of the patterns found in the outer passageways.

This also shows that the top-tier auction house they entered this time was of a high standard.

They walked a short distance inside, and small doors began to appear on both sides. Qingya eventually led them through door number six.

This is a room of about 200 square meters, decorated in an extremely luxurious style, filled with precious woods, jade, and various ornaments that are obviously very expensive. The room is decorated with an air of extravagance, but there is also a strange feeling that makes you want to admit it is elegant.

Room number six in Auction Hall No. 1 of the Starlight Grand Auction House is rectangular. One of the walls on the long side is crystal clear and white, and that wall is the only one without any decoration.

The large sofa was made of an unknown animal hide, with exceptionally soft white fur. When you sit on it, you feel a sense of comfort that makes you want to sink in, yet it also provides excellent support.

After Huo Yuhao and the others sat down, Qingya casually gestured to the two girls to secretly activate the soul guidance screen.

However, this technology came from the Sun Moon Empire. While everyone else remained calm, Xu Tianheng's eyes even flashed with disdain, and he couldn't help but mutter something under his breath.

"Tsk, outdated technology."

These words made Qingya almost instantly turn her gaze to Xu Tianzhen. At that moment, Teacher Ma suddenly spoke up.

"Miss Naïve, what we have achieved so far is merely an increase in the energy conversion rate; it is too early to make any rash statements."

There was no other way; Teacher Ma was truly on tenterhooks at this moment. After all, the Sun Moon Empire's pre-charging technology was a top secret. Xu Tianzhen had access to it, but it wasn't something that could be leaked. Therefore, his preemptive explanation, though somewhat of a cover-up, only served to further confuse the matter.

Qingya didn't suspect anything too much, but she still secretly made a note of it.

Soon, a young girl dressed in court attire appeared on the screen.

In terms of appearance, without exaggeration, she could even rank in the top five among Huo Yuhao's past and present lives, and the other person was none other than Xu Jiujiu.

Chapter 143 The Mysterious Huo Yuhao?

After a brief introduction, she smiled sweetly and performed a complex yet elegant curtsy, gesturing with her right hand. Suddenly, the scene shifted, and an item appeared on the soul-guided screen on the wall.

Along with the items came a long, drawn-out explanation.

"The Tyrant Tiger Soul Refining Blade is an eighth-level close-range soul tool. Its materials are extremely precious, including a right arm bone from a ten-thousand-year-old Tyrant Tiger soul beast, which solidifies its soul bone skill, Tyrant Blade Slash. It can also amplify the attack power of similar soul skills by fifty percent."

"Please note, distinguished guests, that when using this precious close-range soul tool for attack, each strike will be accompanied by the Overlord Blade Slash effect. This effect can be stacked with any similar attack soul skill. At the same time, through the guidance of the exquisite core magic array and the energy contained in the soul bone itself, the Overlord Blade Slash consumes only one-third of the soul power under normal circumstances."

"Finally, this Tyrant Tiger Soul Refining Blade comes from the Mingde Hall of the Sun Moon Empire. I think the name Mingde Hall alone is enough to demonstrate its quality. A Seven-Ring Soul Saint can use this blade, and with it, it will become possible for a Soul Saint to challenge a Soul Douluo beyond their level. Five minutes for viewing."

As the introduction ended, most of the people from the Sun Moon Royal Soul Master Academy looked listless.

Qingya, who was standing to the side, had anticipated this scene.

He even looked slightly embarrassed, after all, the first item up for auction came from the Sun Moon Empire.

Huo Yuhao, staring at the knife, was most impressed not by the soul tool itself, but by the user.

Unsurprisingly, it was Dai Yueheng who captured its image, but the one who truly demonstrated its power was Ma Xiaotao.

With the dark attribute activated by the Sword of Judgment, his martial soul underwent a mutation, transforming him into the Dark Phoenix.

Not only did the quality of the flame evolve directly into an ultimate fire with dark attributes, but it also completely lost its sanity.

She not only turned the tide against all odds, but also successfully attracted the attention of the Holy Spirit Cult, and soon after, she officially joined the Holy Spirit Cult's Saintess Training Program.

As for Huo Yuhao, he was aware of this fate.

However, he didn't speak up to stop them, because he knew he couldn't possibly convince everyone completely. Besides, as far as he knew, Shrek's injuries would be even more severe this time.

Perhaps Ma Xiaotao won't even get a chance to play this time?

As she was thinking this, perhaps because Huo Yuhao had been staring at the knife for too long, Meng Hongchen couldn't help but look at Huo Yuhao and ask him a question.

"Yuhao, do you like this knife?"

Huo Yuhao shook his head slightly and stated it directly.

"No, I just remembered some things."

At that very moment, Xu Tianzhen looked at the knife, feeling somewhat bored, and couldn't help but mutter to himself.

"This is just an experiment in that area, essentially a waste utilization of broken soul bones. Although it's not bad, how could it possibly arouse his interest?"

After all, Xu Tianzhen knew Huo Yuhao very well; he was Kong Deming's successor.

There's no soul tool you can't get, let alone be interested in this kind of soul tool.

This unintentional remark caused Qingya's gaze to involuntarily fall on Huo Yuhao.

It seems that the team leader or teacher in charge this time is Teacher Ma or the so-called Ma Rulong, but the one who is really hidden in the center is always this young boy who is called the reserve team.

Combined with Xu Tianzhen's words, this made her extremely curious about the other party's background.

However, this time Xu Tianzhen didn't even need Teacher Ma to remind her. After saying what she had to say, she didn't mention anything about Huo Yuhao again.

As expected, the auction for this soul tool ended quickly, and the outcome remained unchanged: Dai Yueheng won the bid.

The Soul Guidance Screen changed again. This time, the screen on the entire wall was divided into twelve areas, and the items in each area looked somewhat similar.

They are all cylinders, conical at one end and cylindrical at the other. They are identical in shape, the only difference being their color, suggesting they were forged from different metals.

Contrary to the previous introduction and the reactions of most people, almost everyone in the private room where the Sun Moon Royal Soul Master Academy was located subconsciously turned pale.

After all, it should be known that fixed-mount soul-guided cannons of level 5 or above would be blocked, let alone the level 6 ones in front of them which belonged to the same type, yet they were collected by the Star Luo Empire and then openly auctioned off.

Qingya maintained a smile on her face, but inwardly she was afraid that these people might have some objections.

To his surprise, after their faces darkened, that was all.

There wasn't even the slightest hint of displeasure.

If this were in the original timeline, these people would have already become sarcastic or even sarcastic. The reason they haven't is that, for the Sun Moon Empire, the previously fixed-mount soul-guided cannons might have been considered essential military supplies. However, with the current research on mechs and the emergence of pre-charging technology, the fixed-mount soul-guided cannons, or rather, this set of fixed-mount soul-guided cannons, are now only worth so much in their eyes.

It wasn't to the point of getting angry.

Shrek Academy's reaction was similar to that of the original timeline. After some enthusiastic persuasion from He Caitou, Wang Yan finally gritted his teeth and bought the fixed-position soul-guided cannon at a higher price, intending to take it back for research.

The next few lots were relatively boring.

At least in Huo Yuhao's eyes, it had no value whatsoever, until Xu Jiujiu's face reappeared.

Amidst the turbulent emotions in his eyes, there was also a hint of anticipation.

Based on his understanding, what was about to appear was not unfamiliar to him, or rather, it was one of his important combat forces in his previous life.

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 there is emerald green liquid inside.

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, translucent crystals, as if 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.

Even though Huo Yuhao had been warned in advance, his mental sea still couldn't help but erupt in chaos.

"How dare those damned humans?"

"hateful!"

And this soul bone is none other than the left arm bone of the Ice Jade Scorpion, which contains the Ice Explosion Technique.

For Huo Yuhao in his previous life, this was an invaluable top-tier combat force.

After all, with his second spirit being the Ice Jade Scorpion, he had almost maximized the power of the Ice Explosion Technique by fusing with this spirit bone.

However, what Huo Yuhao is curious about right now is whether he can fuse with this soul bone now that the Ice Emperor has become his soul spirit.

He simply posed this question to Hyotei within the Sea of ​​Spirit.

Hyotei's anger subsided under Tenmu's reassurance, and he spoke with a hint of uncertainty.

“Well, under normal circumstances, it takes extreme level of power to absorb this soul bone. Although you don’t have it, you can still try if you want. After all, the torso bones in your body are my power. You can use this part and my power to suppress this soul bone.”

Chapter 144 Huo Yuhao's suggestion, the method of getting something for free

Huo Yuhao, who possesses memories of his past life, clearly remembers that to absorb the Ice Jade Scorpion's soul bone, one must also possess an ultimate martial soul.

At this moment, he does not possess the ultimate martial soul, but he has subdued the Ice Emperor.

Most of the opponent's essence was sealed inside his own torso bones.

In Huo Yuhao's opinion, in terms of the practicality of a soul bone, even some soul bones that are 100,000 years old are hard to compare with this one.

After all, for an ice-attribute soul master, that would be considered a divine skill.

Huo Yuhao naturally didn't want to see this soul bone fall into the hands of others.

However, after a brief moment of thought, Huo Yuhao raised an eyebrow.

To be honest, he was well aware of his current achievements. If it were his past life when he was at Shrek Academy, with his Ice Jade Scorpion Martial Soul, his Shrek Academy background, and his identity as a member of the Star Luo Empire, perhaps the other party would still believe him.

Or to be more precise, it's about being willing to believe in yourself.

Currently, he only has a single martial soul, and this martial soul even seems to be somewhat of an evil martial soul.

It would be a miracle if the other party were willing to believe it, or rather, willing to give up this soul bone for free.

However, Huo Yuhao raised an eyebrow, as if he had thought of something.

He immediately looked at Teacher Ma and couldn't help but transmit his voice, "Teacher Ma, could you please take me to see Master Hongchen?"

Upon hearing this, Teacher Ma immediately cast a subconscious glance at Huo Yuhao, and after confirming who had spoken, she stared blankly at him.

Unable to resist answering instinctively, "How come... Yuhao, I'm leading the team this time, the sect leader isn't here."

Before he could finish speaking, Teacher Ma realized that he seemed to have been tricked.
