Douluo: The Peerless Eye of Heaven Yu Hao

Hearing this, Zhang Lexuan smiled and said, "But this time, the auction is mainly to let you experience an auction that is different from the ordinary. Okay, let's go first, so as not to be late."

A different kind of auction?

Everyone felt a little curious.

Because of the Fighting Spirit Competition, the flow of people in Xingluo City has reached a terrifying number. The streets near the Xinghuang Hotel are packed with people. There are even people shouting on the street, saying that they are helping to run errands to buy tickets for the competition.

But fortunately, Wang Yan arrived at the destination in advance and he walked to the destination peacefully along the way.

After crossing several streets, we stopped in front of a pointed-roof building.

This building is considered tall, but compared with the surrounding buildings, it looks much smaller. Above the gate hangs an exquisitely designed sign with a hammer pattern on the top and a table pattern below the hammer.

The combination of the two corresponds exactly to the auction gavel and auction table in an auction house.

Looking at the building in front of them, Zhang Lexuan signaled everyone to move to the side where there were no people, so as not to block those who were planning to enter the auction.

"Today's auction is not only for you to relax, but also for you to have an understanding of soul guides." Zhang Lexuan faced the crowd.

"Soul guide?"

Everyone had a preliminary guess in their mind.

Zhang Lexuan glanced at Wang Yan, who nodded slightly and said, "You have all watched the competitions in the past few days. I wonder if you have noticed something. So far, 80% of the academies have equipped themselves with soul guides to assist themselves."

“That’s true. There are fewer and fewer pure soul master academies.” Ma Xiaotao nodded.

Wang Yan's face was solemn. "I can tell you very clearly that the academy is also planning to carry out a soul guide device reform. In the past, the martial soul department and the soul guide department did not interfere with each other, but later, the martial soul department students will also have to learn soul guide devices. This is not an elective, but a real addition to the soul guide device course."

"And every student will undergo actual combat training with soul guides. You don't have to be a soul guide, but you must be able to use soul guides."

Upon hearing this, the faces of the students in the inner courtyard were slightly condensed, perhaps they knew something in advance. On the other hand, Beibei, Xu Sanshi and the others were particularly surprised.

Xu Sanshi frowned and said, "Doesn't it go against the traditional honor of our soul masters to be able to use soul guides? I believe that relying on the strength we have cultivated ourselves is the real strength, not relying on external objects."

“Aren’t we using external objects now?” Huo Yuhao suddenly spoke, attracting everyone’s attention. Huo Yuhao then turned to Xu Sanshi and said, “Brother Xu, is your spirit ring an external object? Is the spirit bone you absorbed an external object?”

Xu Sanshi and others were all stunned.

Huo Yuhao continued, “If we really want to say it, then self-created soul skills and self-condensed soul rings are not external objects. However, soul rings and soul bones obtained from soul beasts are not the same as soul guides. Aren’t they external objects used on oneself?”

"Soul rings and soul bones are obtained from soul beasts in nature, and soul guides are forged and engraved from metals in nature. What is the difference between the two?"

Everyone was shocked when they heard this, but... it seemed to make sense.

"I know very well that there are many people in the academy who think that using soul guides is embarrassing for soul masters, but I want to say that the reason why people are human is because they can use and create, and soul guides are the crystallization of human wisdom."

"I can tell you straight away that after this competition, I will be selected by the academy as one of the permanent Shrek Seven Devils, and I will also promote soul guides to everyone at the student mobilization meeting."

After the last sentence was spoken, everyone present fell silent and just looked at Huo Yuhao.

Xu Sanshi opened his mouth, his expression changing constantly. Born in the Xuanming Sect, he had a high aversion to soul guides.

Other students like Wang Dong, Xixi and others who also rejected soul guides also fell silent.

Maybe they are still opposing soul guides in their hearts, but the influence has already been planted.

"You can ask Ning Tian how much the soul guide can enhance our soul masters."

Huo Yuhao knew that in this life, because there was no explosion of the evil soul master's corpse, the main team was intact, and most of the students did not have the sense of urgency in the original book, and their understanding of soul guides would be much lower. He had to explain that this certainly could not have the same awakening effect as in the original book, but it was enough to serve as a reminder.

When they heard Huo Yuhao pointing at Ning Tian who had been standing aside without saying a word, many people looked over.

Ning Tian was stunned for a moment, and after noticing Huo Yuhao's gaze, he smiled and said, "Anyway, the development of soul guides has completely changed our Nine Treasures Glazed Tile Sect. Our Seven Treasures Glazed Tile Tower soul masters are no longer pure auxiliary soul masters. We can also burst out considerable combat power, and all of this is brought by soul guides."

"Even today, if we have to choose between ten immortal herbs that are powerful enough to change our martial spirits and powerful soul guide technology, we will only choose soul guide technology."

The word "immortal grass" is quite heavyweight. Ning Rongrong relied on the immortal grass to break through the limitations of her martial soul and become a god in the future. But now the people in the Nine Treasures Glazed Sect would rather give up the immortal grass and want soul guide technology, which further shocked everyone.

"Okay, it's time for us to go in." Zhang Lexuan interrupted everyone's thoughts at the right time.

There are some things that are useless if you say them too much. You just need to point them out at the right time. After all, you still need to explore and gain agreement on your own.

The group put away their thoughts and walked towards the auction hall. During this time, Huo Yuhao kept observing Wang Dong.

In the original novel, when Wang Dong heard that the auction was about soul guides, he immediately showed great resistance. Needless to say, it was definitely Tang San's influence.

But this time Wang Dong did not feel any discomfort and just followed everyone in.

"Is there something on my face?" Wang Dong noticed Huo Yuhao looking at him and couldn't help but ask.

“It seems like there’s none left.” Huo Yuhao responded with a smile.

Hearing Huo Yuhao's strange tone, Wang Dong frowned.

The auction venue was not on the ground, but underground. Led by a hostess, a group of people walked through the corridor and finally arrived at Auction Hall No. 12.

The auction hall was lit only by soul-guided lamps on the walls, but due to insufficient brightness, it seemed rather dim at the moment. The interior area could easily accommodate about 200 people, and there were many soft sofas, about 70% of which were already occupied by the guests.

Of course, in order to protect the privacy of the guests, everyone was given a mask before entering the auction hall, and the level of the guests was divided according to the color of their spirit rings. Because it was their first time, everyone from Shrek was given a white mask.

Less than five minutes after everyone sat down, a beam of light shone on the auction table. The next moment, under the gaze of more than a hundred people on the scene, a beautiful woman in a purple dress walked up. Soon, a soft voice spread through the amplifying soul guide.

"Good evening, distinguished guests, I am Qingya, a purple-level auctioneer from Starlight Auction House, and I will be hosting the auction today."

Looking at her elegant and beautiful face, many male bidders' eyes lit up, but since they were all from upper-class society, they didn't look like pigs.

Xu Sanshi had his eyes wide open at first, but fearing that Jiang Nannan would notice, his expression suddenly turned calm, as if he had entered sage time.

"If you want anything, just tell us directly. The academy will pay for it, but the amount cannot exceed 100,000 gold soul coins per person."

Zhang Lexuan transmitted the message to everyone through her soul power.

Hearing this, the poorest Jiang Nannan's eyes immediately lit up.

Qingya smiled and said, "This auction is a level 4 auction. The highest soul guide device auctioned is no more than level 6, which is suitable for soul masters at or below the level of Soul King. There are many items for auction, which will surely satisfy everyone. The final main item is a treasure, so don't miss it, distinguished guests."

"Now, let's invite you to the first lot."

As he spoke, Qingya looked away.

Two girls in red skirts pushed a small cart in front of Qingya and lifted the cloth covering it.

They all looked at it and saw that it was a soul guide device that looked like a ruler. It was black in color with faint patterns on it, but the patterns were obviously decorative and just to make it look good.

Qingya said: "This soul guide is a third-level soul beam device. Logically, it should not be included in this auction, but this soul guide was made by a sixth-level soul guide. He added a special effect in the core array, called paralysis, which can affect soul masters below the Soul King level or even the Soul King level."

"But everyone needs to pay attention. The effect of this paralyzing soul ray on soul masters will also be affected by the physical fitness and soul power of the attacked person. According to our tests, it can cause paralysis for one second to a soul king level soul master, two seconds to a soul ancestor, and three to four seconds to a soul master."

"But we tested it with a strong attacking spirit master without any defense. The distinguished guests should pay attention to this. But there is no doubt that this is definitely a fine product. The starting price is one thousand gold soul coins, and each increase in price must not be less than fifty gold soul coins. Start now."

"Two thousand and five."

As soon as Qingya opened her mouth, Huo Yuhao raised the sign and started shouting.

In an instant, the VIPs who were originally planning to bid all stopped bidding. The estimated upper limit price of this soul guide was only 2,200 yuan. Anything above that would not be worth it.

Qingya smiled sweetly, and after asking three times, she directly knocked down the auction hammer, "Congratulations to VIP No. 166 for bidding on lot No. 1."

"What do you want this for?"

When Qingya was conducting the subsequent auction, Ma Xiaotao came over and asked.

"Take it and tear it down."

Huo Yuhao said casually.

Ma Xiaotao was stunned and closed her mouth silently.

Next, another twenty-nine lots were put on the stage for auction. The results for each lot were quite good, with the lowest grade being level three. In the end, fifteen lots were bought by Zhang Lexuan and Wang Yan.

It is mainly for the subsequent distribution to everyone for early running-in.

No one noticed that as the auction progressed, Huo Yuhao became more and more excited.

Finally, under the financial offensive of the VIPs, the auction came to the second to last item.

It was still the two girls in red skirts. Because of the order, this finale was definitely something that people were looking forward to. Qingya smiled and said, "This item has a peculiar and interesting name, it's called a milk bottle."

"Shh."

When they heard the word "milk bottle", many people's eyes lit up instantly, and all the fatigue that had appeared after the long auction disappeared.

"Teacher Wang, Senior Sister, please be sure to take a picture of this milk bottle soul guide."

He Caitou lowered his voice and said, there was nothing he could do, he didn't know how to transmit sound through soul power.

Zhang Lexuan and Wang Yan remained expressionless, but they had already made a pre-order in their hearts.

As Qingya took the initiative to remove the cloth, the next moment, an exquisite and compact soul guide device appeared in front of everyone.

It was a silver necklace, and the pendant of the necklace was a metal pendant in the shape of a baby bottle, about the size of an adult's thumb.

"Level 4, that's pretty good."

He Caitou nodded, very satisfied.

Following Qingya's lengthy introduction, the starting price for the milk bottle was set at 6,000 gold soul coins. But just after Qingya called for the start, before anyone else could show off their ability to pay, Zhang Lexuan spoke directly, "30,000 gold soul coins."

When thirty thousand comes out, who can compete with me?

For a moment, the faces of the bidders who wanted to speak turned black. Who can afford a direct offer of 30,000?

The maximum price for a level 4 milk bottle is only 24,000 yuan.

Qingya's smile became even wider. After this show, she saw how generous the VIPs sitting in the first row were. It seemed that she was lucky today.

After the three inquiries, Qingya immediately announced that Zhang Lexuan had won the lot.

After pushing the cart off the stage, Qingya's face flushed slightly. It was unknown whether it was because she earned a lot of commission or for some other reason, but her tone became excited, "The final big item was not supposed to appear in this auction, but in order to thank all the distinguished guests for their support of our Starlight Auction House, with the consent of the chief auctioneer, we specially took it out for auction."

"This lot is more expensive than the previous lots, but it is definitely worth the money and worth bidding on. Now let's welcome the last lot of today."

Not long after, a cart that was larger than the previous one came up, and even the cover it used was red, which was second only to gold. This change and the elegant introduction immediately aroused everyone's curiosity.

"Yuhao?"

Ma Xiaotao looked at Huo Yuhao, whose breathing had become heavier, in confusion.

“Nothing, just a little excited.” Huo Yuhao forced himself to calm down.

The Soul-Devouring Knife, whose original form is the gold of living things, contains enormous energy. It should bring about a great breakthrough for the Sun God's residence in the second star ring.

At the same time, it can also stabilize the teacher's soul.

The next moment, under the gaze of more than a hundred people at the scene, Qingya introduced the item again, "The large scroll auction item is completely different from the previous soul guides. Soul guides are made by soul masters, and soul masters need the help of a carving knife to complete better works. Yes, the large scroll auction item is a carving knife."

All of a sudden, everyone's mood became tense. Carving knives rarely appear in auctions, which is quite rare.

At this moment, Qingya unveiled the mystery of the large scroll item.

"Shh."

When the covering cloth was removed, an object that looked like a carving knife appeared on the tray. The carving knife was about sixteen centimeters long and as thick as a finger. It was wide from bottom to top and gradually became thinner. Dark golden lines could be vaguely seen flowing, and the top was extremely sharp, giving off an ancient feel as a whole.

Zhang Lexuan's eyes moved, and she knew that He Caitou and Huo Yuhao would both use this kind of carving knife, so she immediately wanted to take a picture of it.

But suddenly, just when the bidders who had ideas about the carving knife were about to ask Qingya what the starting price was, Qingya sighed and said, "In order not to deceive the bidders, we decided to explain the origin of this carving knife."

"Everyone knows that we have a ranking of carving knives in Douluo Continent, and this carving knife happens to be ranked 99th. Unfortunately, although this carving knife is extremely famous, it has an even worse reputation due to a special reason."

"Because this carving knife is called the Soul Devouring Carving Knife."

"what?"

“You’re auctioning all this stuff?”

"Who dares to use this carving knife? I will kneel down and sing the song of conquest to him immediately."

As soon as the words "Soul-Devouring Carving Knife" came out, the auction immediately became a commotion. A large number of bidders who were interested in the carving knife all looked shocked, as if they were extremely surprised that the Starlight Auction House dared to put this thing up for auction.

"Is the Soul Devouring Knife scary?"

Zhang Lexuan, Wang Yan and everyone else didn't understand.

Seeing this, He Caitou explained to everyone with a serious expression. After learning the origin of the Soul-Devouring Carving Knife, Zhang Lexuan immediately gave up the idea of ​​bidding.

"Please be patient." Qingya saw the commotion at the scene and showed an expression that said, "It is true."

The bidders finally gave Qingya face and gradually quieted down.

Qingya then tried hard to use her mouth to praise the excellence of the carving knife. After all, it was a promotion. If it could be sold, she would make a lot of money. If it couldn't be sold, she wouldn't lose money.

I don’t know if I was a little too excited, but after hearing Qingya’s compliments, I suddenly thought about bidding.

What these people have in common is that they are all soul masters with light attributes, three of them in total.

Anyway, in their opinion, they could just take the picture and not use it, and use their own light attribute to fuse the carving knife, so that the soul-devouring beast would be gone, and that would be a huge profit.
