Breakthrough to Super Douluo? Xuan Zi Arrives
In order to sell the Ice Jade Scorpion Left Arm Bone for a high price, in addition to the academies participating in the Soul Master Competition, many ice-attribute Soul Master and forces were invited to participate in this auction.
However, compared to Meng Hongchen, this pure and innocent rich woman, the wealth of those people is rather insignificant.
Most importantly, Jing Hongchen also came to Star Luo City this time, so Meng Hongchen didn't need to worry about not being able to come up with that much money. She could just confidently let her grandfather cover it all.
Meng Hongchen was certain that if her grandfather were present and knew that this piece of Ice Jade Scorpion Left Arm Bone possessed the Ice Burst Technique, a skill that could be described as divine, he would definitely help her acquire it, no matter the cost.
Under Meng Hongchen's financial offensive, the Ice Jade Scorpion Left Arm Bone quickly broke through the ten million Gold Soul Coin mark, and when it reached fifteen million, all the bidders stopped.
Ice Burst Technique is indeed an excellent Soul Skill, but its high price of 15 million is definitely not something that ordinary people can afford.
Inside the private room at the Shrek Academy, Wang Yan stared at the numbers on the screen, caught in a dilemma and struggle.
Although Shrek Academy has no other ice-attribute genius Soul Master since Ling Luochеn's defection, it would be an excellent thing to acquire this Soul Bone, even if it's just temporarily stored away.
However, the price is now beyond Wang Yan's means. If he continues to argue, he won't be able to make any contributions, and some higher-ups might even become dissatisfied with him.
After all, spending such a large sum of money without achieving the desired effect is not in line with Shrek's fine tradition.
After the auction concluded with the successful purchase of the Ice Jade Scorpion Left Arm Bone, the auction came to a complete end.
After Huo Yuhao and the others accepted the items they had acquired that day, they did not wander around but returned directly to the hotel.
Just as Meng Hongchen had guessed, when Jing Hongchen learned that Meng Hongchen had obtained a Soul Bone containing the fixed Soul Skill Ice Burst Technique, he was overjoyed and praised Meng Hongchen as the strongest genius in the history of their Hongchen Family, while Xiao Hongchen was nothing.
After driving away the sullen Xiao Hongchen, Jing Hongchen stayed by his granddaughter's side, watching her fuse with the Ice Jade Scorpion Left Arm Bone.
Jing Hongchen originally thought the fusion process would be extremely painful, but to his surprise, Meng Hongchen seemed to feel no pain at all and easily fused with him.
Unable to understand what was going on, Jing Hongchen and Kong Deming could only attribute it to the effect of the Ultimate Ice. Since they were both Ultimate Ice, perhaps this was the advantage.
Huo Yuhao then took out the Soul -Spirit Devouring Engraving Knife, which he had purified with Undead Magic, in front of Kong Deming and Jing Hongchen.
Feeling the rich life force emanating from the carving knife, Kong Deming and Jing Hongchen were filled with shock and their eyes widened suddenly.
"What material is this carving knife made of? How can it have such a rich life force? Even the legendary Immortal Herb probably wouldn't be as effective as this carving knife in certain aspects, right?"
Hearing this, Huo Yuhao nodded.
"The life force emanating from the immortal Immortal Herb I ate in the Star Dou Great Forest was not much stronger than this carving knife."
Kong Deming nodded thoughtfully and gave earnest advice.
"Keep this carving knife safe. It could be a lifesaver if you ever suffer a serious injury."
Jing Hongchen echoed this sentiment.
"Old Kong is right. It is said that even the Body Martial Soul can undergo Second Awakening. If you carry this carving knife with you at all times and it becomes tainted with this rich life energy, your Spirit Eye Martial Soul may be able to undergo Second Awakening at some point."
To Kong Deming and Jing Hongchen's surprise, Huo Yuhao resolutely shook his head in response to their suggestion.
"I don't need this, so please give this carving knife to the teacher and Dean Jing Hongchen."
As Huo Yuhao finished speaking, Kong Deming and Jing Hongchen froze on the spot. Their pupils contracted slightly, and their faces were filled with a look of existential doubt.
Huo Yuhao simply watched this scene with a smile.
The reason he gave the carving knife to Kong Deming and Jing Hongchen was certainly not because they didn't need the Gold of Life.
It was because when Gu Yuena obtained the carving knife, she had already discovered that the so-called Spirit Devouring Engraving Knife was actually made of Gold of Life. At the same time, she also told Huo Yuhao through telepathy that if Huo Yuhao needed it, she could give him some, which would be much better than the Gold of Life of this carving knife in terms of both size and quality.
Huo Yuhao did not refuse, but he felt even more strongly that these beautiful girls were all vying to be his sugar daddy.
Since Gu Yuena had said she would give him some Gold of Life, Huo Yuhao certainly didn't mind giving the carving knife to Kong Deming and Jing Hongchen so they could try to break through to Super Douluo.
If they can successfully become Super Douluo, then with their soul guidance level, they will definitely have the upper hand even against Ultimate Douluo!
Kong Deming and Jing Hongchen exchanged a glance, then looked at Huo Yuhao and said in a deep voice.
"Yuhao, do you know what this carving knife means? I've heard that the cultivation speed of Martial Soul with Ultimate Attribute will become very slow in the future. But with this carving knife, this limitation will not affect you at all. You can use it to become a top expert in the shortest amount of time."
Huo Yuhao's lips curled up, and a sunny and cheerful smile appeared on his face.
"Perhaps, but I think you need this carving knife more than I do. And I believe in myself; my future won't stagnate at any one level!"
For nearly a year, Huo Yuhao had kept in mind all the care Kong Deming had given him. He truly treated Huo Yuhao as his last disciple and nurtured him wholeheartedly.
No matter what good things there are, Kong Deming always thinks of himself first, even putting Zhang Lexuan, his great-granddaughter who was lost and found again, last.
Even a certain God King knew to give Immortal Herb to a certain Grandmaster, so Huo Yuhao certainly couldn't be inferior to him.
Moreover, if Shrek is to be disgraced in this Soul Master Competition, it will inevitably create a deadly feud with them. If Kong Deming can break through to Super Douluo, then Gu Yuena, the strongest backup plan, can continue to be hidden until the most crucial moment.
Seeing that Huo Yuhao had made his decision, Kong Deming gave him a deep look and then did not refuse. Having been stuck at level 94 for so many years, Kong Deming had long been looking forward to the day when he could break through to Super Douluo.
Although Jing Hongchen also wanted the carving knife made of Gold of Life, he knew that Kong Deming needed it more than he did, so he ultimately decided to let Kong Deming have it all.
However, he also received a promise from Huo Yuhao that when he gets the Marrow Cleansing Pill from that 'mysterious expert' again, he will give it to Jing Hongchen.
Huo Yuhao's gratitude reinforced Kong Deming and Jing Hongchen's determination to make their great-granddaughter (or granddaughter) Huo Yuhao's partner.
With Jing Hongchen protecting him, allowing Kong Deming to safely absorb the Gold of Life, the numerous elimination rounds finally came to an end.
The 67 teams that emerge victorious from the knockout stage will participate in the second stage of the round-robin tournament.
This time the scale is even bigger than during the knockout stage, because everyone knows that the later the matches go, the more exciting they become, and no one will hold back anymore in order to win.
However, just as the host was about to announce the official start of the round-robin tournament, Xuan Zi once again violated the Star Luo City's rule against flying and appeared brazenly above everyone's heads.
Just as Xuan Zi was about to breathe a sigh of relief seeing that Shrek Academy hadn't been eliminated, he suddenly noticed out of the corner of his eye that Zhang Lexuan and Ling Luochеn, who should have belonged to the Shrek camp, were sitting in the preparation seats of the Sun Moon Imperial Soul Engineer Academy!
