Douluo: Legend of the Spider King

Dugu Yan came slowly.

On a lonely cliff, an old man wearing a green robe, with a pair of dark green eyes, a very straight body, and even dark green hair was sitting cross-legged.

The old man exuded a dark green light all over his body. He was restraining and absorbing the outside world, and at this moment he had reached a crucial step.

Duguyan stopped, wanting to say something but stopping herself...

After a long while, the old man's breath gradually calmed down, and his eyes opened coldly. He slowly stood up and stared down at the dark green light released from his right hand.

"Why hasn't there been a breakthrough yet? Could it be... really..."

"grandfather."

The old man shuddered, turned around and looked, his eyes gradually softened, and a relieved smile appeared on his cold and stiff face.

"Yanyan, didn't you go traveling on the mainland? It's only been a month, why are you back?"

Dugu Yan pouted, glanced at the old man indifferently, and said unhappily: "Grandpa, I have been here just now. Could it be that with your strength as a Titled Douluo, you still can't sense my presence?"

"Uh……"

The old man was stunned...

"Cough cough cough..."

The old man smiled happily, "Let's not talk about that for now. Where did my precious granddaughter go for the past month? Did you encounter anything interesting? Tell me about it and let grandpa be happy with you."

At this point, Dugu Yan sighed, sat alone on the steep cliff, holding a scented incense stick, and silently thought about life.

Seeing her granddaughter in this state, she was obviously worried.

"What's wrong? Did someone mess with you? Is it that kid Yu Tianheng? Damn it, he kidnapped my granddaughter and bullied you. Wait, I will go to Tiandou Royal Academy and break both of his legs for your pleasure!" The old man was furious, and his cold aura caused the temperature here to drop sharply. And the slender dark green snake behind him looked so... scary and suffocating...

Hurry!

Dugu Yan hurriedly said, "Grandpa, what are you talking about! Tian Heng treats me very well, and he doesn't bully me. Do you know why I am angry?"

The old man came closer and said with great interest: "Tell me..."

Dugu Yan stretched out two fingers and made a "yeah" gesture.

"Two things!"

The old man listened calmly...

"First..." Dugu Yan continued: "Grandpa, do you still remember Ye Hao that I mentioned earlier?"

The old man thought for a moment, then said, "Of course I remember! Didn't you find a successor for me before? Why is this kid so ungrateful?"

Duguyan looked helpless and sighed, "I have mentioned this matter to Xiaohao many times, and it seems...he doesn't care about it. I thought I would ask grandpa to go and see it in person this time, but he slipped away in the middle of the night without saying goodbye to us, and even asked Teacher Qin for a seven-day vacation. Isn't this infuriating!"

Hearing this, the old man narrowed his eyes slightly, looking very interested.

"You little brat, you can't even hold me back with your reputation as Poison Douluo. It's his honor to be my disciple, but you're taking it for granted."

Poison Douluo pointed his head to the sky, then clenched his palm into a fist, indicating that he was about to capture the enemy.

"He doesn't think highly of me, so I'll personally take action this time. This kid can't escape my grasp this time!"

Poison Douluo Dugu Bo, Dugu Yan's grandfather, is a Titled Douluo famous for his poison on the continent. He is so poisonous that he dominates the world with his Green Phosphorus Snake King poison!

"What about the second one?" Dugu Bo continued to ask.

Dugu Yan looked up at the sky and sighed, "Grandpa, is our green phosphorus snake venom invincible in the world?"

Dugu Bo was stunned, "Why do you suddenly ask this?"

"Not long ago, in a group soul fight in Soto City, we met a team called the Shrek Seven Devils. This team had four soul masters and three great soul masters. Then, in the group soul fights that lasted for nearly a month, they were able to win one after another, setting a record for consecutive wins in the Soto Great Soul Fighting Arena. In the end, they met us and ended their winning streak."

After Dugu Yan finished speaking, Dugu Bo asked in confusion: "Are you not happy about winning the fighting spirit? Why are you sighing?"

Dugu Yan rolled her eyes and said, "This is the most infuriating thing!"

"Among them there is a spirit master called Thousand-Handed Shura, whose real name is Tang San. He was able to break the Jade Phosphorus Snake Venom I cast!"

At this point, a hint of murderous intent flashed in Dugu Bo's eyes. His granddaughter's green phosphorus snake venom had been broken by someone. This was a bad sign.

Basically, every soul master on the continent has his own trump card. For example, Dugu Bo, his trump card is the Green Phosphorus Snake King Poison.

Although my granddaughter Duguyan's green phosphorus snake venom is still relatively immature, it should not be underestimated. It is still possible to destroy the body without leaving any trace.

But now, the venom of the green phosphorus snake has been broken by someone. This is equivalent to Dugu Bo losing a life-saving thing, or even losing his own life. This person must not be allowed to stay!

Chapter 74: The Mysterious Stone

"Teacher, why are you here?"

At the Tiandou Auction House, Xue Qinghe was slightly surprised.

Ye Hao's brain was working rapidly. Wasn't Xue Qinghe's teacher Ning Rongrong's father, the leader of the Seven Treasures Glazed Sect, one of the top three sects, the old fox Ning Fengzhi?

The man standing in front of him was wearing a light-colored robe and holding a silver cane on the ground. His gentle and elegant aura made it hard not to feel close to him.

The white-haired man in a plain robe beside Ning Fengzhi was no ordinary man. His eyes were like sharp swords that could penetrate anyone with one glance. His figure was like a precious sword, standing beside Ning Fengzhi. His eyes involuntarily looked at Ye Hao beside Xue Qinghe. This young man could stand shoulder to shoulder with Xue Qinghe...

No, very wrong...

The white-haired man frowned slightly and looked at Ye Hao in fascination. His eyes really looked like one person, a woman.

In addition, the old fox Ning Fengzhi naturally observed this point. To be able to come here with Xue Qinghe, who is the crown prince, this person is really not simple.

Moreover, as Xue Qinghe's teacher, he knew Xue Qinghe too well. Xue Qinghe looked down upon and would never come to a place where people pursued fame and fortune and competed with each other.

Furthermore, Xue Qinghe holds the position of Crown Prince. If the ministers find out that the Crown Prince has come here privately, then the court meeting the next day will inevitably become...

Therefore, with Xue Qinghe's status and identity, he could have sat in the most distinguished seat in the front row. The reason why he chose to sit at the outermost edge was to avoid unnecessary trouble.

But who would have expected that he would come here.

Xue Qinghe smiled bitterly and said, "Teacher, long time no see. Let me introduce you. This is my younger brother, Ye Hao."

"Xiao Hao, let me introduce you. This is my teacher Ning Fengzhi, who is also the leader of the Seven Treasures Glazed Tile Sect, one of the top three sects. The other one is the Seven Treasures Glazed Tile Sect's guardian elder, and is known as the Sword Douluo with the best attack skills."

Sure enough, Ye Hao guessed right.

Ye Hao smiled slightly, "Hello, Sect Master Ning, Your Majesty Sword Douluo, my name is Ye Hao, and I am a student of Tiandou Royal Academy."

"Tiandou Royal Academy, Ye..."

Ning Fengzhi slapped his forehead and gradually formed a preliminary impression of the word "Ye Hao".

"I remember that I heard not long ago that a genius student came to Tiandou Royal Academy. I think it must be you, a genius with the second ring of the millennium."

Ye Hao smiled bitterly and waved his hand, saying, "Thank you for the compliment, Sect Master Ning. I am truly unworthy of the title of genius. Also, Brother Xue came to the auction house to choose a gift for me. As for the others..."

"Gift...gift?" Ning Fengzhi was slightly stunned.

Xue Qinghe glanced at Ye Hao gently and said, "My stinky little brother, it seems my love for you is not in vain."

"Not long ago, Xiaohao gave me a gift. As the eldest brother, of course I have to express my gratitude, so..."

Ning Fengzhi understood what he meant and realized immediately that as the prince's teacher, today's matter could be a big deal or a small one.

"Have you picked out what you like? If you see something you like, just ask. If it's not available here, Qinghe, you can also bring Ye Hao to the Seven Treasures Glazed Tile Sect. I have..."

That’s all…

The Seven Treasures Glazed Tile Sect is rich, thanks to the Seven Treasures Glazed Tile Tower's excellent treasure-hunting ability, they are even richer than the royal family.

Xue Qinghe smiled and said, "Don't bother me, teacher. My brother Hao and I have come here for nothing. Teacher, Your Majesty the Sword Douluo, my brother Hao and I will leave first."

Hearing this, Ning Fengzhi and Jian Douluo nodded...

Xue Qinghe was about to take Ye Hao away, when suddenly, Ye Hao paused and stood still without moving.

"Hmm?" Xue Qinghe turned around and asked in confusion, "What's wrong?"

Ye Hao shook his head, feeling that if he missed this opportunity, he would regret it for the rest of his life.

He quickly turned around and ran to the railing, standing next to Ning Fengzhi and Jian Douluo. Under their puzzled gazes, a square-shaped object wrapped in red cloth was brought to the auction table by the etiquette lady.

Xue Qinghe was half-believing and half-doubting, under everyone's gaze...

The host held a small golden hammer in his hand and slapped it with a "snap" sound, and the red cloth was lifted up.

I saw a small square object lying quietly on the auction table, covered with thick stone skin, looking weathered and old. There were some patterns carved on it, and it was very old, so I didn't know what era it was from.

"This item was found by our team accidentally in the forest. We have studied it for several days and have searched through all the information, but we still cannot find the true appearance of this item. So we conclude that this item is a decoration on a building from a hundred years ago, or even a thousand years ago. Therefore, we decided to start the auction at a price of one thousand gold soul coins. The auction begins now!"

"One thousand and one hundred gold soul coins."

One of them held up a sign.

"One thousand three hundred gold soul coins."

Another person held up a sign.

"Fifteen hundred gold soul coins."

"Two thousand gold soul coins!"

"Four thousand gold soul coins!"

"Five thousand..."

"Seven thousand..."

Many people started bidding one after another, from the previous one thousand gold soul coins to the current fifteen thousand gold soul coins.

Is this hunger marketing? The big auction house is estimated to make more money than the big fighting spirit arena.

"Twenty thousand gold soul coins."

This was the first time Ye Hao raised a sign.

Upon hearing the news, Xue Qinghe frowned and looked at the square stone lying quietly on the stage. It looked like an ordinary stone. Although it was very old and had a certain collection value, these 20,000 gold soul coins...

It's not worth the price, really not worth it.

On the other side, Ning Fengzhi and Jian Douluo looked at each other and were very puzzled by Ye Hao's behavior. From Ning Fengzhi's experienced perspective, this was just an ordinary stone, just very old.

This is the atmosphere in a large auction house, which creates hunger marketing, causing auctioneers to compete with each other, and ultimately the highest bidder wins.

Firstly, it was to show off his status, and secondly, it was vanity that was at work. It was obvious that Ye Hao, the rookie, was fooled.

The auctioneers present all laughed at the same time, thinking that the young man was really too young.

For a moment, the atmosphere at the scene was eerily quiet, and the sound of silver needles falling to the ground could be faintly heard.

Upon seeing this, the host stopped talking nonsense. A plain-looking stone was sold at the price of 20,000 gold soul coins. This was undoubtedly a huge gain. You know, everyone who came to participate in the auction was a veteran.

"Twenty thousand gold soul coins at a time!"

"Twenty thousand gold soul coins twice!"

After saying this, the host looked around suspiciously, hoping that there would be another sucker.

Seeing no one answered, the host gritted his teeth.

"Twenty thousand gold soul coins three times!"

"Snapped!"

"make a deal!"

You can guess the importance of this stone...

Friendly reminder: It becomes the protagonist’s trump card in the end!

Chapter 75 Sister, I have money

When the golden hammer in the host's hand fell, everything was settled.

Ye Hao obtained the right to purchase this unremarkable stone. He only needed to go to the backstage to pay 20,000 gold soul coins. From then on, the stone would belong to Ye Hao.

Everyone present laughed at the same time, and when they turned around to see who the unlucky guy was.

All of a sudden, their faces froze, because they saw the Seven Treasures Glazed Tile Sect's leader Ning Fengzhi and Jian Douluo, and another person, the... Prince!

At this moment, Xue Qinghe had taken off his mask and was looking down calmly with an expression as calm as water. Then, a mysterious smile appeared at the corner of Xue Qinghe's mouth, and he turned around and left with several people.

"You were too reckless this time." Xue Qing continued to scold as he walked along the river.

Ye Hao didn't take it seriously and said with a smile: "Brother Xue, I always feel that I made a profit from this deal. Believe me, that stone is really not simple!"
