Ice Jade Scorpion Soul Bone!

Ice Explosion Technique!

The moment Bao Liang saw that Soul Bone, his eyes suddenly burned with fervor.

Images from the original novel flashed through his mind of Huo Yuhao using the Ice Explosion Technique to kill several Soul Master stronger than himself.

Considering the Heavenly Snow Woman, who is known as the strongest Soul King, this Ice Jade Scorpion Soul Bone is definitely worth having!

On the screen, Xu Jiujiu held up the phantom of the Soul Bone and began to introduce its various advantages to everyone.

"This Soul Bone comes from an extremely powerful Ice Jade Emperor Scorpion."

"It possesses extremely pure ice-attribute power and a very rare special ability."

Ice Explosion Technique.

"Once Soul Master successfully absorbs this Soul Bone, they will be able to inject ice-attribute Soul Power into their enemy during battle."

"It was then detonated using a special method, causing extremely terrifying damage to the enemy."

"Regardless of whether the opponent is Power Attack System, Defense System, or Control System Soul Master, a slight misstep could result in instant and severe injury from the Ice Explosion Technique."

Xu Jiujiu spoke in a refined voice and gave a very detailed explanation.

However, before she could finish speaking, she suddenly stopped.

At the same time, a hint of apology appeared on his face. After reassuring everyone for a few moments, he retreated backstage.

"Heh, just as I thought."

Bao Liang knew without even guessing that this unexpected event must have come from Huo Yuhao.

After all, the Ice Empress had ordered him to obtain this Soul Bone no matter what.

Currently penniless, Huo Yuhao can only try to gain a chance to obtain the Soul Bone Soul Bone by pointing out its flaws.

The plot ultimately followed the original story.

It doesn't matter.

What's mine will always be mine.

The extended viewing time passed quickly.

The auction of the Ice Jade Scorpion Left Arm Bone has finally officially begun.

"Ice Jade Scorpion Soul Bone, starting bid 10 million Gold Soul Coin."

"Each bid increase must be at least 500,000 Gold Soul Coin."

"Distinguished guests, please--"

The image of the Soul Bone was magnified on the screen.

A string of bright gold numbers then appeared at the bottom of the screen.

Ten million!

The numbers started jumping rapidly the next second.

Ten million, five hundred thousand, eleven million, twelve million, thirteen million...

Prices have been soaring without any sign of slowing down.

Before the conditions for absorbing Ultimate Ice were known, this Soul Bone was enough to drive all ice-attribute Soul Master crazy.

Its price, naturally, cannot be low.

Soon, the price reached seventeen million.

Bao Liang moment's thought, Bao Liang quoted an overwhelming price.

"Twenty million."

The numbers on the screen paused slightly.

Then it suddenly jumped to twenty million.

Bao Liang's sudden move shocked not only the people in the other private rooms.

Even the other members of the Sun Moon Team looked at him in surprise.

"Bao Liang, aren't you a fire elementalist?"

Ma Rulong couldn't help but remind him, "You can't use this Ice Jade Scorpion Soul Bone even if you buy it."

It's alright.

Bao Liang grinned crookedly, pulled out a Mingde Hall Brilliant Supreme Savings Card with at least nine figures in savings, and twirled it between his fingers.

"I'm rich, and I'm happy to do what I want."

As he spoke, he didn't forget to call over Qing Ya, who was standing to the side.

"Auctioneer Qing Ya, please come here for a moment."

Although Qing Ya was somewhat puzzled, she immediately got up and walked to Bao Liang's side.

"Mr. Bao Liang, what can I do for you?"

Bao Liang lowered his voice and whispered a few words in her ear.

Her Qing Ya expression suddenly turned somewhat strange.

But she quickly returned to normal and nodded gently to Bao Liang.

"I see."

On the other side, inside VIP box number one.

Xu Jiawei hesitated for a moment, but ultimately pressed the price of 22 million.

However, this figure was quickly surpassed by Bao Liang's 25 million.

Xu Jiawei sat on the luxurious sofa with his eyes slightly narrowed.

He asked the auctioneer serving him:

"Find out who made the bid."

The auctioneer nodded in agreement.

Not long after, he returned with the message.

"Your Majesty, they are from the Sun Moon Team."

"Sun Moon Team..."

Xu Jiawei tapped his fingers on the armrest repeatedly.

He was considering whether to pass this hot potato to the people of the Sun Moon Empire.

Originally, he only planned to leave the last item as a bargaining chip to Jing Hongchen, and then use it to amuse Mingde Hall after the competition.

However, this Ice Jade Scorpion Soul Bone was not part of his plan.

After thinking for a moment, Xu Jiawei decided to abandon the plan.

He immediately raised the price to thirty million.

The Soul Bone is defective.

Moreover, this thing is not like Hundred-Thousand-Year Soul Beast Embryo, which can be directly fused upon obtaining it.

It is not suitable.

Moreover, if Xu Jiawei remembered correctly, Jing Hongchen's granddaughter seemed to be an ice-attribute Soul Master.

It would be fine if the Soul Bone hadn't been absorbed.

If they absorb it immediately upon obtaining it, causing Meng Hongchen to be devoured by the Ice Jade Scorpion Soul Bone and then blown up, then their Star Luo Empire would truly be in deep trouble.

That old fellow Jing Hongchen isn't that calm.

As for telling the Sun Moon Team that the Soul Bone is flawed and can only be absorbed by Ultimate Ice, was it meant to discourage them from trying?

That's completely unnecessary.

Why go through this extra step when you could just take the picture yourself?

In his vast empire, not a single person recognized the Ice Jade Scorpion. It was only after a callow youth from Shrek reminded him that he realized there was something wrong with this Soul Bone.

Should they proactively tell the Sun Moon Team about this embarrassing situation, only to have them laugh at them behind their backs?

Xu Jiawei doesn't have that kind of thick skin.

But at that moment, a guard respectfully knelt on one knee.

"His Majesty."

"The Qing Ya auctioneer from Box Two requests an audience."

Xu Jiawei frowned slightly.

"Let her in."

Soon, Qing Ya was led into the private room.

As soon as she entered, she immediately knelt down and kowtowed.

"Qing Ya greets Your Majesty."

Xu Jiawei asked calmly, "Tell me, what brings you here?"

Qing Ya straightened up and said respectfully:

"Your Majesty, it is Bao Liang from the Sun Moon Team who sent Qing Ya to speak with you."

Xu Jiawei immediately became interested.

"Explain."

Qing Ya relayed Bao Liang's instructions verbatim.

The gist is that Bao Liang knew there was something wrong with the Soul Bone, but the fact that such a flawed item could still be auctioned off meant that his subordinates were at fault. Bao Liang greatly admired Emperor Xu Jiawei for wanting to swallow this bitter pill.

However, he was very interested in this Soul Bone and hoped that His Majesty the Star Luo Emperor could grant him a favor out of respect for his grandfather Jing Hongchen.

After Qing Ya finished speaking, she quietly lowered her head.

A moment of silence fell over the private room.

Xu Jiawei squinted and stared at Qing Ya for a long while.

"Is he sure he said that?"

"Qing Ya dared not conceal a single word."

Xu Jiawei did not answer immediately.

His mind flashed back to Bao Liang's insane fighting style on the ring.

Then I thought of that old fellow Jing Hongchen.

After a moment's thought, he finally agreed.

"Knew."

"Go back."

"Yes."

Qing Ya respectfully withdrew.

Soon, Xu Jiawei casually pressed a price of 30 million.

The next second, Bao Liang's voice came from Box Number Two.

Thirty-five million.

The numbers freeze in time.

Xu Jiawei leaned back on the sofa, his lips twitching slightly.

Okay.

This hot potato has finally been thrown away.

As for what will happen to the people of the Sun Moon Empire after they obtain the Soul Bone, that's not his concern.

The Ice Jade Scorpion Left Arm Bone was successfully obtained.

Bao Liang was in a wonderful mood.

However, his mood only improved afterward.

Because the next to appear is the Snow Empress, the Heavenly Snow Woman and Snow Empress whose appearance was marred by a plane crash, making her a disgrace among the Ten Great Ferocious Beasts!

As the tray containing the Snow Empress Embryo appeared on the screen, Bao Liang held a Mingde Hall Brilliant Supreme Savings Card in each hand, twirling it around like a butterfly knife, making it dazzling to the eye.

On the screen, Xu Jiujiu had changed into a gorgeous and elegant gold dress.

Standing under the soft light, her demeanor became even more elegant and noble.

"Next up is the last item for tonight."

"This is also the real highlight of the auction."

"A treasure powerful enough to change the fate of any Soul Master."

"Hundred-Thousand-Year Soul Beast Embryo."

Xu Jiujiu, he raised his hand and gently removed the seal from the tray.

A soft white light then illuminated the scene.

An embryo enveloped in a special power slowly appeared before everyone's eyes.

It is not very large.

But the moment it appeared, the entire auction house seemed to fall silent.

Even through the soul-guided screen, everyone could still feel that heart-pounding life force.

"According to the Starlight Auction House's appraisal, this is a well-preserved, vibrant Hundred-Thousand-Year Soul Beast Embryo."

"It was sealed within a special God Sealing Altar, and its life force remained completely intact."

"If it can be successfully absorbed, it will provide the Soul Master with a genuine Hundred Thousand Year Soul Ring."

"And it will definitely be accompanied by a Hundred Thousand Year Soul Bone!"

"And this is not its greatest function."

Xu Jiujiu pause, his voice held an undisguised seriousness.

"Based on the characteristics of the God Sealing Altar, if Soul Master can directly absorb it while it is in a sealed state, there is even a chance that it will directly transform into their own Martial Soul!"

"Achieve your Second Martial Soul!"

After he finished speaking, the entire auction hall fell into complete silence.

Bao Liang held two debit cards, his eyes burning with intensity that almost burned through the screen.

They've arrived.

It's finally here.

Snow Empress Embryo!
