Only Here to Freeload? Settling Grudges on the Spot

In terms of ability, Meng Hongchen and Xu Tianzhen are in the second tier among Girl Squad, but when it comes to wealth, they are not targeting anyone, but rather saying that everyone here is poor!

Xiao Hongchen originally wanted to support his good brother, help Huo Yuhao defeat that disgusting guy, and snatch the Spirit Devouring Engraving Knife.

However, after seeing Meng Hongchen and Xu Tianzhen get there first, Xiao Hongchen decisively abandoned that idea.

Seeing Meng Hongchen and Xu Tianzhen staring at each other, neither willing to back down, both wanting to use this method to 'take care' of Huo Yuhao.

Old Ma, Ma Rulong, Xiao Hongchen, and several other reserve team members all resolutely held their breath and silently recited the steps for making the Soul Tool, without having the slightest thought of watching the spectacle.

While a battle between pretty girls can be visually appealing, getting involved can lead to serious trouble.

Meng Hongchen looked at Xu Tianzhen and said with a faint smile.

"It's just a Spirit Devouring Engraving Knife. Princess Naïve, you'd better not try to take it from me."

Xu Tianzhen looked at Meng Hongchen's Naibaixuezi, whose size was much larger than her own, and snorted coldly in displeasure.

"We've known each other for so long, but I've never given Yuhao any gifts. Let me give him this Spirit Devouring Engraving Knife as a gift!"

Qingya stood to the side, trembling. Having been an auctioneer for so many years, what kind of scene hadn't she seen? But she had never seen anything like this before, with two extremely beautiful girls vying to bid for the Spirit Devouring Engraving Knife as a gift for a boy!

Seeing that the atmosphere between the two was becoming increasingly tense, Huo Yuhao coughed twice and said.

"Alright, you two, I have my own money, I don't need your help. Don't forget, I'm Level 5 Soul Engineer now, do you think I'd lack the money for the auction?"

After saying that, he ignored their reactions and spoke directly to Qingya.

"Please raise the price to 200,000 Gold Soul Coin."

Qingya breathed a sigh of relief and quickly followed the instructions.

Meanwhile, Huo Yuhao had already quietly activated his Mental Detection and was secretly observing the situation inside the Shrek Academy's private room.

"Two hundred and five thousand Gold Soul Coin!"

Upon hearing Dai Huabin's words, all the teachers and students at Shrek frowned and looked at him, including his older brother, Dai Yueheng.

Dai Yueheng raised his hand to stop the waiter from raising the price, his brows furrowed, and looked at Dai Huabin, asking in a deep voice.

"Huabin, what are you trying to do? Didn't you hear what Princess Jiujiu said? This carving knife will turn against its master! Besides, you're not Soul Engineer, so why are you bidding on this carving knife?"

After Dai Huabin coldly instructed the waiter to raise the price, he said in a cold tone.

"Didn't you hear what they said? The people from the Sun Moon Imperial Soul Engineer Academy who want to bid for this Spirit Devouring Engraving Knife might have a way to remove the curse on the knife. Are you just going to watch this Ranked Engraving Knife fall into the hands of those guys?"

Dai Huabin's words made everyone else ponder.

After hearing He Caitou describe the deadly side effects of the Spirit Devouring Engraving Knife, they had completely given up on the idea of Spirit Devouring Engraving Knife.

However, upon seeing someone trying to take a picture of them, as if suddenly remembering something, he forced the two waiters to reveal the other person's identity, even stating that if they didn't tell him, he would kill them on the spot without paying any price.

Seeing that Dai Huabin was really going to take action, the two waiters, faced with death, ultimately broke the rules of the Starlight Auction House and told them that the VIP room where they had bid was the Sun Moon Imperial Soul Engineer Academy.

When Dai Huabin thought of the group of beautiful girls he had been drooling over during the competition, he could no longer control his jealousy and decided to use this method to disgust them.

Upon hearing his elder brother's question, Dai Huabin immediately came up with a plausible excuse.

His excuse was unanimously approved by everyone present.

Just as Dai Huabin said, if someone from the Sun Moon Imperial Soul Engineer Academy really can lift the curse, then letting them obtain this Ranked Engraving Knife would not be a good thing for Shrek Academy.

If possible, of course we should try to prevent this from happening!

Even Wang Yan, after pondering for a moment, said in a deep voice.

"Dai Huabin is right. Regardless of whether they have a way to remove the curse on the Spirit Devouring Engraving Knife, this Ranked Engraving Knife must not fall into their hands!"

After making the decision, Dai Huabin worked even harder, and in just a few minutes, the price of the Spirit Devouring Engraving Knife reached 500,000 Gold Soul Coin.

Dai Huabin felt he had caused Huo Yuhao to bleed a lot, and his face unconsciously turned slightly flushed. He was eager to raise the price further, but was stopped by Dai Yueheng.

"Alright, that's enough! If they don't raise the price any further, then this Spirit Devouring Engraving Knife will be stuck with us! A carving knife that turns on its master is of no value to our White Tiger Duke's Mansion."

As he spoke, Dai Yueheng turned his gaze to Wang Yan, wanting to know if he intended to use Shrek Academy's money to continue competing with the other party.

Feeling Dai Yueheng's gaze, Wang Yan's face flashed with embarrassment, and he immediately gave up on the idea.

As the teacher leading the Shrek Academy, Wang Yan is indeed qualified to purchase necessary items for the participating students in the name of Shrek, but this does not mean that he can dispose of the money at his own discretion.

Shrek's tradition has always been to only spend and never earn, being very frugal.

If those higher-ups found out that he spent hundreds of thousands of Gold Soul Coin to buy a carving knife that would turn against its owner, Wang Yan would definitely be in big trouble.

As a teacher, Wang Yan understood this principle better than Dai Yueheng and others.

Dai Yueheng gave Wang Yan a deep look, feeling quite dissatisfied with her brainless younger brother, Dai Huabin.

In other words, he stopped Dai Huabin from raising the price further. Otherwise, if they had actually won the bid for the Spirit Devouring Engraving Knife, Wang Yan wouldn't have used Shrek's money to bail out the White Tiger Duke's Mansion! Shrek's philosophy is to get things for free!

Why not use 500,000 Gold Soul Coin to buy a carving knife that's completely useless to the White Tiger Duke's Mansion?

Seeing the subtle look in Dai Yueheng's eyes, Wang Yan coughed twice and then made a pretext.

"Actually, even the people from the Sun Moon Imperial Soul Engineer Academy might not be able to come into contact with the curse of the Spirit Devouring Engraving Knife. Since that's the case, it's not a bad idea to let them waste 500,000 Gold Soul Coin."

Dai Yueheng shook her head silently without saying anything more.

Shrek has been doing this for a long time. Just like those students who sacrificed themselves in the Death God Envoy incident, their families may not receive any compensation.

After all, Shrek made it clear from the beginning that there would be no reward for Shrek Supervision Group, and they would not be held responsible if anything went wrong; they could only blame themselves for being careless.

Unfortunately, the tasks of the Inspection Corps are linked to the Inner Court. If you want to enter the Inner Court, you must join the Inspection Corps, and if you want to graduate, you must complete a sufficient number of tasks.

With each step leading to the next, the so-called voluntary act has long since been distorted!

Oh no, Shrek might still compensate their family by giving them a spot to Shrek Academy without taking the entrance exam.

Just as Dai Yueheng was Xu Jiujiu grumbling about this, the next item for auction was brought out by Xu Jiujiu. Upon hearing that the weapon, named Tyrant Tiger Soul Refining Blade, came from the Mingde Hall of the Sun Moon Empire and was Level 8 Soul Tool, the eyes of the two brothers, Dai Yueheng and Dai Huabin, immediately lit up.

Each strike carries the Tyrant Blade Strike effect. This effect can stack with any other similar attack-type Soul Skill. Moreover, through the guidance of an intricate Core Array and the energy contained within the Soul Bone itself, the Tyrant Blade Strike consumes only one-third of the Soul Power under normal circumstances.

Which Power Attack System Soul Master could refuse such a powerful effect?

Just as Dai Yueheng was enthusiastically competing with others, Huo Yuhao directly raised the price to one million Gold Soul Coin.

He knew how strong Dai Yueheng's desire for this knife was; if they wanted to disgust him, they would have to pay a price!

Since you have the opportunity, why wait until the next day to take revenge? Wouldn't it be better to retaliate on the spot?
