Preparing for Action
After introducing the basic information about the Snow Empress Embryo, Xu Jiujiu left the camera, and the Soul Guidance Screen was occupied by the white airflow on the wooden tray.
The entire Starlight Auction House erupted in chaos!
All the distinguished guests who received the invitation were incredibly excited!
This is something that may never have appeared in the entire Douluo Continent! It even has the potential to create Second Martial Soul spirit!
Even if we fail, we'll still get a Hundred Thousand Year Soul Bone and a Hundred-Thousand-Year Soul Ring!
Who cares if it's a good match? The Soul Ring and Soul Bone of this age can completely make up for it!
"With this, I can become Twin Martial Souls, or obtain a Hundred Thousand Year Soul Bone and a Hundred-Thousand-Year Soul Ring! I absolutely cannot let this opportunity pass me by, Elder Ma!"
Xiao Hongchen stared excitedly at the white aura on the screen. He was initially quite satisfied with his current talent, but who wouldn't want to surpass it?
What's more, not long ago, he was casually smashed into a wall by someone his own age. The humiliation and the sense of loss he Xiao Hongchen he would never forget in his lifetime!
Once he acquires Twin Martial Souls, he will be even more powerful. That guy Chen Yuan, even if he is temporarily ahead, will never be his match in the future!
Although the Sun Moon faction lacks experience in systematically cultivating Twin Martial Souls, the Original Three Kingdoms of Douluo faction does! Once the war begins, are we worried about not being able to obtain them?
"Xiao Hongchen, the academy hasn't given us enough funds. The starting bid for this item is one hundred million, and we don't have that many Gold Soul Coin!"
"Then let's mortgage it! Mortgage the Soul Tool! No, the academy doesn't need to pay! I'll buy it myself!"
Xiao Hongchen excitedly ran out of the room and headed towards the counter. He needed to exchange his money for enough to guarantee he could acquire the Soul Beast Embryo.
He certainly didn't have enough money on him, and even with Meng Hongchen's money, it was still far from enough.
Upon hearing from the counter that the handling fee for Soul Tool produced by the Mingde Hall was only 10%, Xiao Hongchen, already in a state of high excitement, disregarded everything else and mortgaged all the Soul Tool he had that did not involve core technology and could be sold.
Inside Shrek's private room, Xu Jiujiu, dressed in Xu Jiujiu golden palace gown, pushed open the door and entered. Behind her was none other than Xu Jiawei, the current Star Luo Emperor.
The moment the auctioneer and the other two receptionists saw Xu Jiawei, they immediately knelt down. The Shrek team members were stunned to see Xu Jiawei so closely.
Dai Yueheng immediately stood up and knelt on one knee. As the son of the Duke of White Tiger, if he were to pull the Shrek act in front of Xu Jiawei, he wouldn't even know how he died.
Apart from Chen Yuan, everyone else from Shrek immediately stood up and bowed. This was Shrek's current status on the continent; when meeting the emperor of an empire, Shrek Academy students only needed to bow.
The Original Three Kingdoms of Douluo still needed Shrek to deter the Sun Moon Empire, so they naturally showed Shrek the utmost leniency.
Their sudden action made Chen Yuan, who was a beat slower throughout, stiff and unnatural in his movements, and whose bows were only slight and whose waists barely bent, seem somewhat out of place.
For Chen Yuan, paying respects to a feudal emperor was less desirable than simply killing him; even bowing was unacceptable.
Before I had the Sun God Bow, I could at least feign politeness with you. But now that I have the Sun God Bow, if I still have to compromise myself, then what's the point of getting the Sun God Bow?
If it were Star Luo Square, it would be fine, there are many people there, and Chen Yuan wouldn't be noticed doing this. But there are only a few people here, so Xu Jiawei naturally noticed Chen Yuan.
However, Xu Jiawei didn't take Chen Yuan's actions to heart. Geniuses are all individualistic and have special privileges.
Especially someone like Chen Yuan, a commoner genius with a clean background—that's exactly the kind of person these powerful families and organizations love most.
Even if the attempt to win them over fails, there's no need to strain relations too much; it won't benefit their Star Luo Empire.
"Your Majesty, what brings you here?"
When Xu Jiawei, the emperor of the Star Luo Empire, arrived, it was a blatant admission that the Starlight Auction House was backed by the Star Luo Imperial Family.
"Your Majesty, please be seated."
Wang Yan made way for Xu Jiawei, wanting him to sit down, but Xu Jiawei simply waved his hand.
"I can't sit here any longer. This item is too valuable. I need to go over and keep an eye on it later, just in case anyone gets any bad ideas."
"I'm just here to pay my respects to your Shrek Academy's top students. I've watched every single one of your matches."
"Although I didn't get to see the Main Team's heroic performance, your Reserve Team still gave me a big surprise."
"Speaking of which, I also studied at Shrek for a while. Looking back now, I really miss those days."
Xu Jiawei showed a nostalgic expression, indicating that he had a very deep impression of his time studying at Shrek.
The others were incredibly surprised to hear Xu Jiawei's last sentence; they never imagined that the Star Luo Emperor, Xu Jiawei, had also studied at Shrek.
"This is not a public place. I used to be a student at Shrek, so please think of me as an older student."
That's what they say, but if anyone takes Xu Jiawei's words seriously, that person will really be a laughing stock.
"Junior Chen Yuan, what are your plans after graduation?"
"Huh? Me?" Chen Yuan didn't expect Xu Jiawei to ask him at this time, and he was a little unsure how to answer.
"I haven't thought it through yet. Let's talk about the future later. Right now, I just want to enjoy the present moment. Maybe I'll travel across the continent someday."
"Traveling across the continent? That's quite a good idea. If I weren't the emperor of the Star Luo Empire, I probably would have traveled all over the continent too."
"Junior Brother Chen Yuan, if you ever travel the continent in the future, remember to see more of the scenery; those are the most precious things on the entire continent."
"If you ever need any help in the future, come to the Starlight Auction House. There will be people here to help you with everything."
After saying this, seeing that Chen Yuan made no comment but simply bowed slightly to express his gratitude, Xu Jiawei shook his head regretfully.
Xu Jiawei turned his gaze to Huo Yuhao. Xu Jiawei naturally had a higher level of liking for this little guy who was registered as a member of the Star Luo Empire.
Moreover, the talent he has shown so far is not weak. Judging from what Xu Jiujiu Xu Jiujiu told him, Huo Yuhao has a martial soul of the level of Ultimate Ice.
Although he didn't know Huo Yuhao's exact cultivation level, the fact that he was a member of Shrek Reserve Team meant that his talent must be considerable. Therefore, Xu Jiawei decided to extend his goodwill and try to win Huo Yuhao over.
It also allows you to befriend Shrek Academy, so it's a win-win situation no matter how you look at it.
Let's consider that piece of Ice Jade Scorpion Left Arm Bone as an extra reward after Shrek Academy wins the championship.
After Xu Jiawei left the room, the atmosphere gradually returned to its previous relaxed and pleasant state.
"Brother Chen Yuan, that emperor was just trying to curry favor with you! How come you weren't surprised at all?"
"Believe it or not, if you reveal your Twin Martial Souls right now, the Star Luo Empire's attitude towards you will be even more enthusiastic than mine."
Chen Yuan spoke to Xiao Xiao in a low voice.
If Chen Yuan is likely to be Super Douluo and has a low probability of Limit Douluo, then Xiao Xiao, with her Twin Martial Souls, is guaranteed to be Super Douluo, with her limit uncertain.
As long as one doesn't misuse Twin Martial Souls, once Titled Douluo is established and there are enough suitable Soul Ring, Twin Martial Souls Soul Master could potentially become Super Douluo in just one day.
In VIP room number two, the numbers on the Soul Guidance Screen in front of Xiao Hongchen suddenly changed to 150 million Gold Soul Coin!
"Let's see who can take this from me this time!"
Xiao Hongchen suddenly raised the price by 20 million Gold Soul Coin to scare away those who still harbored illusions, while also conveying his determination to seize this embryo at all costs.
The price of 150 million Gold Soul Coin stopped fluctuating after it appeared, with no one bidding against it.
In the end, Xiao Hongchen acquired the embryo for a staggering 150 million Gold Soul Coin.
"Elder Ma, this Hundred-Thousand-Year Soul Beast Embryo is undoubtedly a hot potato. When the Star Luo Empire's auction house settles the transaction, they will definitely guarantee our safety to protect their reputation."
"To avoid any unforeseen complications, you should immediately take it back to our Sun Moon Empire and give it to my grandfather. He can then place this embryo in the Mingde Hall. Once the embryo is inside the Mingde Hall, no one can take it away!"
"That's for the best. Such an item, worth hundreds of millions, is extremely rare in the history of the entire continent. It must be treated with utmost care. I will return it to the Empire through the Mingde Hall's secret channels in Star Luo City."
Elder Ma agreed with Xiao Hongchen's idea. This matter was a hot potato right now, and it needed to be arranged properly as soon as possible.
