Douluo: Dark-eyed White Tiger Huo Yuhao

"What? Can't I come to you if I'm fine?"

"That was not what I meant……"

"Humph--"

Ye Yu narrowed her eyes and stared at him for a while, then waved her hand.

"Forget it, I really have something serious to tell you this time."

After saying that, she took out an invitation from her storage soul guide and stuffed it into Huo Yuhao's hand.

"Here, take this. Come see me tonight in the main hall of the Starlight Auction. Show this to the receptionist and she will bring you to me."

Huo Yuhao took the invitation, glanced at it, and couldn't help but open his eyes wide in surprise.

"Golden Auction? Isn't that the highest level?"

Starlight Auctions uses color to grade items, both the auction grade and the item grade.

For example, the last time Ning Tian took Huo Yuhao to an auction, it was a black-level auction. Originally, the most popular item in a black-level auction should also be a black-level item, but due to the special nature of the Soul-Devouring Blade, this red-level item would appear at the black-level auction.

In the Starlight Auction, the highest-grade item is the golden invitation card that Huo Yuhao is holding in his hand, which means that the highest-grade auction item will be gold-grade.

This was a serious matter. As far as Huo Yuhao knew, the highest transaction price for a gold-level auction item was very likely to be above 100 million gold soul coins. The total amount of property he had obtained from Ye Yu was less than 100 million gold soul coins.

It is no exaggeration to say that 100 million gold soul coins can buy a small city.

Ye Yu glanced at Ning Tian in the room, then smiled meaningfully, stood on tiptoe, patted his shoulder and said:

"Anyway, that's it. You must come tonight. This is not only my order, but also the Emperor's request. Don't bring anyone with you. I'm going to show you a good show tonight. Okay, teacher, I won't disturb you and your girlfriend. You two can get busy first."

After she finished speaking, she disappeared without waiting for Huo Yuhao to reply.

Huo Yuhao shook his head helplessly, closed the door and returned to the room.

He asked Ning Tian:

"Did you receive the invitation?"

Logically speaking, the young master of the Nine Treasures Glazed Tile Sect should at least get an invitation.

As expected, Ning Tian nodded lightly, took out a piece of gold-stamped thin paper and said:

"I thought you'd already gotten it... But isn't ours a little different?"

Just as she said, the appearance of the invitation in Huo Yuhao's hand was obviously different from hers.

Huo Yuhao narrowed his eyes and stared at the invitation in his hand for a while.

He had a hunch that the impact of tonight's Starlight Auction would spread to the entire continent in the future.

Chapter 146 The Top Auction

As time passed, the sky gradually darkened. When evening came, Huo Yuhao arrived at the main hall of the Starlight Auction as promised.

After showing the invitation to the service staff at the counter, their attitude suddenly became extremely respectful, and they specially sent two girls around eighteen or nineteen years old to take Huo Yuhao to a private room.

Huo Yuhao entered and, as expected, saw a girl curled up on the sofa drinking juice.

Seeing Huo Yuhao coming over, she quickly straightened up, waved at him, and said happily:

"Ah, Xiao Yuhao, you're here? Come and sit down quickly, there are only a few minutes left before the start."

Huo Yuhao sat down next to her and asked curiously:

"Teacher, now that we're here, you should tell me what the gold-level auction item is, right?"

It was in the hotel room before, Ning Tian was right next to them, and if Ye Yu didn’t say anything, Huo Yuhao wouldn’t ask any more questions.

But now that there were only two of them, he didn't have to suppress his curiosity anymore.

Ye Yu winked at him playfully.

"Nothing, just watch quietly. Tonight is likely to be the night for the most expensive item in the history of auctions in the entire Douluo Continent."

Huo Yuhao couldn't help but become even more curious.

Ye Yu is a level 98 Super Douluo. What exactly is it that makes her have such high hopes?

Ye Yu didn't say anything more. She waved her hand and a gentle airflow blew towards the wall. A mechanism on the wall was slightly concave, and then a golden screen appeared in front of the two of them.

Huo Yuhao blinked in surprise.

"Is this a soul guide?"

Ye Yu nodded and said:

"This is a light-guided screen that the Starlight Auction House specially customized in the Sun-Moon Empire. It can transmit images through a special method. Its core magic array is not driven by soul power, but comes from a mineral in the Sun-Moon Empire."

"Does this mean that soul masters can also use it?"

Huo Yuhao frowned.

This is really scary.

If even ordinary people can use soul guides at will, the power of the Sun-Moon Empire will be so terrifying that it will be impossible to resist.

"If it's just this soul guide screen, it would be like this."

Ye Yu shrugged and comforted him:

"But don't worry. The energy emitted by that kind of ore is very soft and weak. It can't drive offensive and defensive soul guides. It can only provide energy for some very weak soul guides."

"That's it..."

Ye Yu’s words made Huo Yuhao feel a little relieved, but they did not make him completely at ease.

He knew that the gap in soul guide technology between the Three Kingdoms of Douluo and the Sun-Moon Empire was widening. Although the current emperor of the Star Luo Empire, Xu Jiawei, had been trying to narrow the gap between the two, a gap of tens of thousands of years could not be easily made up.

Is there any way to bridge this gap?

Huo Yuhao fell into deep thought.

At this moment, a familiar and pleasant voice interrupted his thoughts.

"Welcome to the Starlight Auction House's premier auction! Today we will present nine precious lots to you. We hope you enjoy them."

Hearing this voice, Huo Yuhao subconsciously raised his head, and as expected, he saw Xu Jiujiu's figure on the soul guide screen.

"She is..."

Ye Yu smiled at the surprised Huo Yuhao and said:

"You should also know who the financial backer behind the Starlight Auction House is. Jiujiu has always been the auctioneer here, but to be honest, there aren't many auctions where she can participate."

In other words, are the items in this auction worthy of the royal princess herself acting as auctioneer and presiding over the order?

While the two were talking, Xu Jiujiu on the screen had already revealed the first auction item.

As soon as Huo Yuhao saw the appearance of this product, his eyes suddenly widened.

This is actually a soul bone, and it's a skull at that. Judging from the light it emits, its price will not be low.

However, Huo Yuhao was only slightly excited before calming down again and moving his eyes away from the skull.

Seeing him like this, Ye Yu jokingly said:

"What's wrong? Are you not interested in this skull?"

Huo Yuhao shrugged lightly.

"Teacher, you just gave me a 100,000-year-old skull not long ago. Putting aside the quality of this skull compared to a 100,000-year-old skull, I couldn't absorb it even if I wanted to. There's no need to worry about it."

Ye Yu pretended to be surprised and asked:

"But you can buy them for those girls you are close to. Are you reluctant to spend money?"

Huo Yuhao rolled his eyes slightly and said to Ye Yu helplessly:

"Okay, teacher, stop testing me. You called me here specifically because you're worried I'll spend money recklessly, right?"

If you just want him to come here to buy things, then you just need to give him one invitation at the same time as you give out invitations to everyone at Shrek Academy.

But they chose to call him over alone, which meant there must be other intentions behind it.

If this was just Ye Yu's arbitrary decision, it would be fine. He could think that Ye Yu simply wanted him to accompany her.

But Ye Yu specifically told him yesterday that this was Xu Jiawei's intention, so he had to think carefully about the deeper meaning behind this invitation.

Ye Yu put away his playful expression, stared at him for a while, and finally sighed.

"Originally, your Majesty and I disagreed. I felt that you were only twelve years old, and it was indeed too early for you to be exposed to these things. But now it seems that your Majesty is right. You are indeed capable of being exposed to this kind of content."

Huo Yuhao asked in a deep voice:

"The products and guests selected this time have all been carefully researched, right?"

"Yes."

Ye Yu nodded and smiled faintly.

"Every once in a while, the Xingluo Imperial Family uses the Starlight Auction to do things that wouldn't be convenient to do publicly. For example, before you awakened your second martial soul, the first item His Majesty the Emperor should have prepared for the auction was an eighth-level melee soul guide called the Tyrant Tiger Soul Refining Knife. That soul guide even had reduced usage requirements, requiring only a Soul Sage level to unleash its full power... Do you understand what I mean?"

"understood."

Huo Yuhao nodded with a complicated expression.

"In other words, before I awakened my second martial soul, the royal family-supported heir to the title of Duke of White Tiger was Dai Yueheng, right?"

No matter how you look at it, the characteristics of the Tyrant Tiger Soul Refining Sword are specially prepared for Dai Yuheng.

The strengths and weaknesses of the several heirs to the Duke's Mansion were no secret. Among the two legitimate sons, Dai Yueheng was far ahead of Dai Huabin in both intelligence and power. What he lacked was talent and a fiancée who could help him unleash his martial soul fusion technique.

Chapter 147 The Noumenon Sect is born?

In this case, the Tyrant Tiger Soul Refining Sword can effectively make up for the gap in talent between Dai Yueheng and Dai Huabin.

The topic of who will be the heir to the Duke's throne is too sensitive. Even the royal family is not in a position to openly support one side or the other. However, if the Starlight Auction sells Dai Yuheng an eighth-level soul guide that is extremely suitable for him, everything will be much easier.

However, due to Huo Yuhao's sudden appearance, the royal family had obviously changed their minds and no longer planned to support Dai Yueheng. Therefore, this eighth-level Tyrant Tiger Soul Refining Sword no longer appeared at the Starlight Auction.

Just as Huo Yuhao had just guessed, both the auction items and the invited guests for this auction had been strictly selected by Xu Jiawei. He invited them to participate in this auction in order to use this opportunity to implicitly achieve some of his desired goals. As for the specific purpose, perhaps only the Emperor himself knew.

Thinking of this, Huo Yuhao asked curiously:
