Ice Explosion Technique and Dispute
After Dai Yueheng auctioned off the Tyrant Tiger Soul Refining Blade Dai Yueheng Blade, Xu Jiujiu on the screen began to explain the other auction items.
Shrek didn't make any further moves besides offering a set of fixed-position Soul Missiles. Although the items auctioned were valuable, they weren't essential.
Moreover, knowing that the auction would include items that the Spirit Contract Pagoda requested the Starlight Auction House to sell, Xu Xingyu made no mention of anything substantial. Wang Yan could only learn some of the details through Shrek's spies.
Although it's uncertain whether it's that thing, if it is, according to Xuan Zi, who has been secretly protecting the Shrek Team, they must take it down regardless of the financial resources required.
Therefore, after purchasing that set of Fixed Soul Cannon Shell, Wang Yan did not buy anything else until the penultimate auction item appeared.
It was the same Soul Bone as the previous auction item, but its price was vastly different.
Xu Jiujiu, the beautiful figure appeared on the big screen for the eighth time, smiling and saying, "The next two items will be the highlights of today's auction, and I believe all of you distinguished guests will be very interested. Be sure to seize the opportunity! Some of these treasures are extremely rare, and you might not even find another one like them on the entire continent. For example, our eighth item is still a Soul Bone, but it is unlike any other. Please take a look."
With a flash of light and shadow, a Soul Bone, magnified many times over, appeared on the soul guidance screen.
This Soul Bone is entirely emerald green, with an emerald green halo flowing and undulating on it, as if there is emerald green liquid inside.
Judging from its appearance, this is a Left Arm Soul Bone, its emerald green body emanating a faint white mist.
Because it was magnified many times, its strangeness was even more apparent. On the emerald green surface of this arm bone, there seemed to be tiny, translucent crystals, almost like gemstones. Compared to it, the other Soul Bone that had appeared before paled in comparison, clearly not in the same league. Even the Golden Radiance Left Arm Bone that Xu Xingyu gave to Wang Dong'er, in appearance, was not superior.
That is the Ice Jade Scorpion Left Arm Bone from the original work, and the Soul Skill it contains is the Ice Explosion Technique, the most powerful innate skill of the Ice Jade Scorpion Clan.
Simply put, it's the ability to detonate any ice and snow, a skill similar to the Corpse Explosion used by the Death Messenger that Xu Xingyu and her friends encountered before.
If the Ice Empress had possessed the talent of Ice Explosion Technique back then, she wouldn't have struggled during the 400,000-year Heavenly Tribulation and had to rely on the power bestowed upon her by the Ice God to break through.
With the divine skill Ice Blast Technique, the Ice Empress also has the ability to replace the Snow Empress as the leader of the Three Great Heavenly Kings of the Far North.
This Soul Bone is Xu Xingyu's goal for this trip. If Xu Yanxue, also known as the Snow Empress, can fuse with this Soul Bone, her combat ability will be greatly enhanced. This will give her a better chance of passing the Ice God Trial when she reaches the Soul Emperor level in the future.
As for why she hadn't asked the Star Luo Empire for this Soul Bone before, Xu Xingyu Xu Xingyu would never tell anyone that she had been so busy with the Star Luo Empire Spirit Contract Pagoda that she had forgotten about it.
While the others were still listening to Xu Jiujiu explain the advantages and disadvantages of the Ice Jade Scorpion Left Arm Bone, Xu Xingyu was secretly contacting someone using her communicator.
After Xu Xingyu finished speaking with the person on the communicator, Xu Jiujiu also finished explaining everything about the Soul Bone.
This made Ling Luochen, Huo Yuhao, and Xu Yanxue, who were present, envious. Ling Luochen, in particular, almost drooled when she heard that this Soul Bone might be able to enhance ice element to the extreme, completely ruining her image as a cold and aloof beauty.
Ling Luochen, whose ice had been repeatedly amplified to the level of Ultimate Ice by Huo Yuhao, understood best just how vast the difference was between ordinary ice and Ultimate Ice.
It's important to understand that whether facing Huo Yuhao or Xu Yanxue, even as a Soul King, he was forcibly suppressed by the difference in their attributes.
If she could absorb this Soul Bone, she would also be able to step into that level called the ultimate!
Wang Yan knew how important this Soul Bone was to their current team, so he joined the bidding.
The problem is, who should get this Soul Bone? To be fair, Wang Yan wants to give the Soul Bone to Ling Luochen, because that way Ling Luochen won't need to be tied to Huo Yuhao when she appears on the field; she can take care of all the enemies by herself.
However, since Xu Yanxue revealed her legendary Heavenly Snow Woman Martial Soul Martial Soul, theoretically, she should be the one more compatible with this Soul Bone. Moreover, buying this Soul Bone for Xu Yanxue Xu Yanxue can also enhance the friendship between Shrek and Spirit Contract Pagoda.
Judging from Xu Yanxue's expression, even the Spirit Contract Pagoda would find it extremely difficult to create a Soul Bone with the Ice Explosion Technique; otherwise, Xu Yanxue wouldn't have wanted this Soul Bone.
As for Huo Yuhao, Wang Yan immediately ruled him out. It wasn't that he was targeting Huo Yuhao, but simply that giving Soul Skill like Ice Blast Technique to Soul Master like Huo Yuhao who could go berserk would inevitably cause problems, right?
What if he suddenly goes mad and repeats what that Emissary of the Death God did before? If Shrek suffers heavy casualties, where will he go to cry?
As for the thoughts of the parties involved, Ling Luochen said before that Xu Yanxue simply wanted it, while Huo Yuhao's thoughts were somewhat different.
In Huo Yuhao's eyes, he did not want Ling Luochen to obtain this Soul Bone, because in his opinion, the main reason he and Ling Luochen could maintain their friendship was that he could help Ling Luochen reach the level of Ultimate Ice.
If Ling Luochen obtains this Soul Bone that can transform him into the Ultimate Ice, can they still maintain their current so-called sibling relationship?
Therefore, Huo Yuhao was actually more looking forward to the scene of someone else buying the Soul Bone, because he knew that since his relationship with Wang Yan had soured, he probably wouldn't be able to get the Soul Bone. Even if he didn't give it to Ling Luochen, he would give it to Xu Yanxue.
And indeed, reality unfolded as Huo Yuhao had hoped. After bidding several times, Wang Yan gave up on the idea of buying the Ice Jade Scorpion Left Arm Bone.
After all, as a teacher, he had limited funds at his disposal. Apart from the last item in the auction, which the academy required the Dai Family to acquire at all costs, he could only try his best to compete for the other items.
Xu Yanxue was inclined to point out the most fatal flaw of this Soul Bone: the Soul Bone of the Ice Jade Scorpion Clan could only be absorbed by those of the Ultimate Ice.
As a result, after Qian was pulled aside by Xu Xingyu to whisper something to her, she gave up the idea of exposing the matter.
Ultimately, this Soul Bone was purchased for a high price of 30 million Gold Soul Coin.
