The starting bid for the Deep Blue Radiance Skull Bone is as high as ten million Gold Soul Coin.

Each bid increase must be no less than 50,000 Gold Soul Coin.

Such a high price could only be described as an unparalleled treasure, which truly shocked everyone at the Shrek Academy.

Yes, even if an entire city were to pool all its resources, it would be difficult to purchase such a priceless treasure.

After gritting his teeth and matching the price twice, Wang Yan felt his strength waning. Selling it to Huo Yuhao wouldn't be a problem, but selling it to Ling Luochеn...

He really didn't dare to make a decision about this level of money lightly.

Although Shrek City is wealthy, its annual tax revenue is only a few hundred million Gold Soul Coin. For the Shrek Academy Shrek Academy, the biggest source of income is actually the earnings of its powerful members from missions or hunting Soul Beast.

Especially the latter; if the Academy's experts were willing to take action, even hunting down Hundred-Thousand-Year Soul Beast wouldn't be that difficult.

The value of a Hundred-Thousand-Year Soul Beast is immeasurable. Even disregarding Spirit Ring and Spirit Bone, the flesh and blood of Soul Beast of this level are extremely precious.

However, Shrek Academy has become much more restrained in this regard over the past thousand years.

After all, Soul Beast's life is also a life.

Of course, the most important reason is that they don't want to provoke the Star Dou Great Forest again and trigger another Beast Tide.

The fate of the Body Sect should serve as a warning.

Therefore, although Shrek Academy knew that the Star Dou Great Forest was incredibly rich, it would not easily hunt Soul Beast on a large scale. It would only help students complete tasks to upgrade their Spirit Ring when needed.

" Yuhao, shall we continue?"

Wang Yan looked at Huo Yuhao with some difficulty, his eyes asking a question.

He felt somewhat embarrassed when he thought about the solemn guarantee he had just made.

Although he was nominally leading the group, in matters of great importance, he still had to consult Huo Yuhao.

Seeing Wang Yan's hesitant appearance.

Huo Yuhao gave the other person a disdainful look.

We absolutely have to buy it!

He bears all the consequences alone.

Huo Yuhao shook his head inwardly.

Xiao Wang, I think you don't understand at all!

He started with grand pronouncements, then rambled on incoherently, and finally fell silent.

Why do you think the Star Luo Imperial Family would put the Deep Blue Radiance up for auction? Do you really think they're doing charity?

No matter how many Gold Soul Coin you have, they are just numbers. The opportunity to transform Gold Soul Coin into your own strength is something that can only be encountered by chance and cannot be sought after.

Even if it's just a film of the Academy's most treasured item, it's still a huge profit.

Even if Huo Yuhao himself doesn't need it.

But for others, the Deep Blue Radiance is an absolute treasure.

With the help of the Deep Blue Radiance, defying fate and creating a Titled Douluo would be an easy task.

With Ling Luochеn's talent, if he had the help of the Deep Blue Radiance, he would have a great chance to reach the level of Super Douluo in the future.

When the Sea God Pavilion Master Successor spoke, Wang Yan naturally obeyed.

Wang Yan's confidence immediately returned.

In the end, it was a close call.

Amidst the shocked gazes of the Shrek members and Meng Hongchen's unwilling wails, the Deep Blue Radiance Skull Bone was successfully acquired by Shrek for 25 million Gold Soul Coin.

While Qingya offered her congratulations with a smile, her face was also beaming with joy, and a strange glint appeared in her eyes as she looked at Wang Yan.

The Shrek Academy students she was responsible for hosting bid on three items, which would not only earn her a commission but also greatly benefit her performance evaluation at the auction.

There was a knock on the door, and a waiter brought in the Deep Blue Radiance Skull Bone.

After Wang Yan used Shrek Credit Voucher as collateral, Ling Luochеn chose to absorb the precious skull on the spot.

Wang Yan did not stop him.

I've already bought it.

Since Huo Yuhao has no intention of absorbing it, the most suitable candidate at present is naturally Ling Luochеn.

"We must be cautious in integrating them and not rush into it," Wang Yan cautioned.

Spirit Ring are valued for their age, while Spirit Bone are valued for their quality.

Although the Deep Blue Radiance is only 40,000 years old, for Ling Luochеn, its quality is absolutely no less than that of an ordinary Hundred Thousand Year Soul Bone.

Ling Luochеn nodded solemnly, took a deep breath, and sat cross-legged.

This is absolutely her only chance in this lifetime, and she must seize it!

Ling Luochеn didn't care about being burdened with huge debts in the future.

She originally intended to stay at the university after graduation.

This incident only strengthened the bond between her and Shrek.

At worst, I'll just sell myself to Shrek and offer my heart to Shrek!

Ma Xiaotao looked at Ling Luochеn with a hint of jealousy.

They were worried that their girlfriends would suffer, but they were also worried that the other party would drive a Land Rover.

Her feelings towards Ling Luochеn were unusually complicated. Because he had refused to help her suppress her Evil Fire and even made a sarcastic remark about his own germaphobia, Ma Xiaotao didn't like him very much.

But as Shrek Academy and his group experienced more, especially the perilous encounters with the Corpse Explosion and the joint training and battles in the Soul Master Tournament, the relationship between the two became less strained.

" Yuhao, do you think that by fusing with this Deep Blue Radiance Spirit Bone, her Ice Element can evolve to the Ultimate Ice?"

"Absolutely impossible."

Huo Yuhao shook his head. "This Spirit Bone itself has not reached the level of Ultimate Ice, and Senior Sister Ling's Ice Element is far from ultimate. It is already a blessing that it can make her Martial Soul evolve once."

Don't be fooled by how simple it was for Huo Yuhao to help Ling Luochеn briefly reach the Ultimate Ice realm.

However, the main reason is the power of the Ice Soul Body Martial Soul, and it doesn't have much to do with Ling Luochеn's own Martial Soul.

I'll carry you, you can do whatever you want.

Ling Luochеn's process of fusing with the Spirit Bone went exceptionally smoothly.

At the same time, Xu Jiujiu gentle voice rang out, "Next up is the grand finale auction item for tonight."

Upon hearing this, Huo Yuhao also became serious.

In fact, he did not believe that he could find similar priceless treasures in the Starlight Auction House after losing Snow Empress.

After all, the Deification Platform was still in his hands.

Soul Tool of this level are very rare!

Especially this kind of Level 9 Soul Tool that has almost no chance of being used.

The Soul Engineer created this kind of Soul Tool must have some serious illness.

Moreover, those who can create Level 9 Soul Tool must be Ninth-level Soul Tool Master, but only the Sun Moon Empire has Soul Engineer of this level.

Therefore, in the Original Work, the Star Luo Empire's plan to divert trouble to the east seemed more like a convenient tactic.

Golden light appeared within the Soul Tool Light Screen.

Xu Jiujiu reappeared, she was now wearing a long gold dress.

Her stunningly beautiful face, fair skin, and exquisite curves, combined with her elegant golden palace attire, added to her refined and graceful charm.

"At our Starlight Auction House, once the auctioneer puts on the golden auction robe, it means that the final price of this item will definitely exceed one hundred million Gold Soul Coin."

Qingya looked at Xu Jiujiu with reverence and explained.

"How many!?"

"One hundred million!?"

The Shrek members all gasped in surprise.

Even Huo Yuhao gasped in surprise.

At first listen, one does not understand the meaning of the song; upon listening again, one becomes a character in the song.

Don't be fooled by how easily he made 20 million before.

But that was the legacy of two Titled Douluo- level figures, nothing more than a golden belt for murder and arson.

If it's about making money in a legitimate way.

That's very difficult.

"Distinguished guests may be wondering why I Jiujiu into this auction attire. It's because the item I'm about to auction is likely to be the most expensive item in the history of our Starlight Auction House."

Frankly, this auction item is the most precious treasure I've ever seen. Even Hundred-Thousand-Year Soul Ring or Spirit Bone can't compare; it's truly unique. In a sense, it transcends monetary value.

Xu Jiujiu, his tone took on a different kind of seriousness and solemnity.

The mere change of clothes, coupled with this statement, instantly piqued the curiosity of every bidder, leaving everyone astonished.

Is it more valuable than Hundred-Thousand-Year Soul Ring or Spirit Bone?

Isn't that a bit of an exaggeration?

Xu Jiujiu continued, " Starlight Auction always been based on integrity, Jiujiu never exaggerated. It is a disposable item, or rather, a kind of medicine. Please take a look, distinguished guests."

As soon as he finished speaking, Xu Jiujiu gestured with his right hand, and the Soul Tool Screen changed instantly. A tray appeared on the screen, with a wooden stand on the white tray, inlaid with at least a hundred gems of various colors.

The Soul Tool looked somewhat familiar.

Huo Yuhao probed the Deification Platform into the Storage Soul Tool.

It cannot be said to be exactly the same; it can only be said to be completely identical.

It was definitely made by the same Ninth-level Soul Tool Master.

Huo Yuhao had some doubts before. The deliveryman who was sent to his death was obviously neither Ninth-level Soul Tool Master nor a person from the Sun Moon Empire, so why was there Deification Platform?

The case is solved; it wasn't made by him.

If these changes were caused by Snow Empress's premature Humanoid Transformation, it seems reasonable.

On this small wooden platform, a wisp of blue energy rippled slightly, condensed but not dissipated, contained within the Deification Platform, subtly shifting left and right.

"The current of energy you see before you is the result of a Hundred-Thousand-Year Soul Beast, after reaching its bottleneck, chose to Re-cultivate into Human. During the transformation process, it was captured by a powerful being and imprisoned within the Level 9 Soul Tool, the Deification Platform."

This wisp of energy, in a sense, can be considered the unformed embryo of Soul Beast Re-cultivate into Human. Such a sight—let alone you all, I dare say—is something few people on the entire Douluo Continent have ever witnessed.

It really is Hundred-Thousand-Year Soul Beast Embryo!

Huo Yuhao was not surprised.

With his powerful Spiritual Power, Huo Yuhao sensed it from afar.

Hmm, this aura is just that of an ordinary Hundred-Thousand-Year Sea Soul Beast.

The Hundred-Thousand-Year Soul Beast would choose to transform into a human Re-cultivation is entirely because it is not confident in breaking through the subsequent Heavenly Tribulation; its bloodline is generally not very strong.

It's similar to a certain Soft Bone Rabbit from ten thousand years ago.

If one possesses noble blood and is already a powerful Hundred-Thousand-Year Soul Beast, one would never choose the path of transforming into a human Re-cultivation, a path fraught with certain death.

Even if one can only cultivate for two hundred thousand years, it's still better than having to Humanoid Transformation Re-cultivation over with a short lifespan.

Even a ferocious beast like the Snow Empress, who lived for 700,000 years, only chose to transform into a human because his Impending Death? and he happened to find a Hundred-Thousand-Year Snow Lotus. In order to pursue the elusive path to godhood, he did so.

It's actually Hundred-Thousand-Year Soul Beast Embryo!?

Just as all the VIPs attending the auction were getting excited, they heard even more outrageous news.

Xu Jiujiu's words once again ignited the atmosphere in the room.

"I'm sure you're all quite surprised to hear this, right? But don't worry, there's even more exciting news to come!"

According to the research of the powerful being from the Sun Moon Empire who provided us with this embryo, the solidification effect contained in this Level 9 Soul Tool, the Deification Platform, allows this Soul Beast to be directly absorbed by humans, along with its Spirit Ring and Spirit Bone.

Although the chances aren't high, if Soul Master can completely absorb this embryo using the Deification Platform, it's very likely they'll gain a Martial Soul! In that case, its value is Jiujiu, isn't it?

Silence! Dead silence!

Only when everyone's breathing gradually became heavy, and their eyes became extremely bloodshot.

Artificial Second Martial Soul!

A true treasure!

Ice Empress poured cold water on the idea, saying, "Even if you succeed by chance and turn it into your Second Martial Soul, there will definitely be problems in the future."

Tian Meng agreed, "This Soul Beast still retains its intelligence and will gradually grow stronger with the addition of Spirit Ring. It will definitely experience a backlash from its Martial Soul in the future."

Huo Yuhao: I wasn't planning on buying it.

Just like in the Original Work, the Deification Platform, along with the Hundred-Thousand-Year Soul Beast Embryo, fell into the hands of the unlucky Sun Moon Royal Academy.

It is worth mentioning.

Because Ling Luochеn needs to absorb Spirit Bone.

Shrek and his group stayed in the VIP room a little longer.

Qingya naturally stayed behind to continue receiving distinguished guests.

During this time, Qingya and Wang Yan also chatted casually.

The interaction between the two made Wang Yan appear very awkward, lacking any of the confidence he displayed when arranging tactics.

As Senior Teacher at the Shrek Academy, Wang Yan's status is not low; in his previous life, he would have been at least a professor at Tsinghua or Peking University.

However, despite being over thirty years old, Wang Yan has never married or had children, nor even had a girlfriend, as he has always been devoted to the theoretical research of Soul Master.

Dai Yueheng left first because he needed to raise money.

The remaining onlookers chatted quietly to the side.

Xixi complained, "The auctioneer Qingya has improved; she's even flirting with Teacher Wang now."

Ma Xiaotao shook her head. "I saw that woman smile, and Teacher Wang started stammering and became absent-minded. He's really pathetic!"

Huo Yuhao chuckled and joked, "It would be great if Teacher Wang and Auctioneer Qingya could end up together."

Tang Ya nodded. "Indeed, Teacher Wang is not young anymore. It would be good for him to settle down with Auctioneer Qingya."

Xu Sanshi said seriously, "If I were Teacher Wang, I definitely wouldn't be able to resist."

" The Qingya's mature charm is indeed very attractive." Beibei smiled wryly, but seeing Tang Ya staring at her with ill intent, she quickly changed her tune:

"Of course, I personally don't like this type..."

Seeing Huo Yuhao nodding in agreement from time to time, Wang Dong'er quietly asked, " Yuhao, do you also like mature women?"

"I like pretty things."

Huo Yuhao said he would accept any offer.
