Douluo Dalu: Ice Demon Yuhao

Wang Dong couldn’t wait to say, “Don’t keep us in suspense. Tell us now.”
“Hey. Think about it, a martial soul fusion technique is a fusion technique between two martial souls, right?”
Wang Dong was puzzled and said, “Yes, isn’t this asking even though you already know the answer?”
“Then think about it…” Huo Yuhao said, “Since you already have two martial souls, can your two martial souls be integrated with each other?”
“You mean… ? Have you succeeded yourself?” Wang Dong opened his mouth wide and instantly understood what Huo Yuhao meant.
“Of course.” Huo Yuhao nodded. “Go back and try it yourself. Brother Hao named this move the Self-Martial Soul Fusion Technique. Once it is successfully performed, its power should not be underestimated.”
“I understand.” Wang Dong happily opened the door of his room, turned to Huo Yuhao and said confidently, “Yuhao, I will definitely succeed.”
After saying that, she slammed her door shut.
“Come on.” Huo Yuhao waved his hand, opened his door and walked in.
As soon as he entered the door, an instinctive sense of crisis suddenly surged into his heart. Huo Yuhao’s eyes flashed, and dense ice crystals had already covered his right hand.
“Sure enough, sure enough…” An old voice sounded faintly in the room, “Sure enough, it is the breath of a ferocious beast. Tell me, which of the ten ferocious beasts incarnated as a human are you?”
The old man seemed to see through the Ice Emperor in the sea of spirituality at once.
The Ice Emperor in the Sea of Spirit asked coldly: “How did he find me?”
Tian Meng said in panic: “Impossible, it is impossible for us to emit even a trace of breath to the outside world from here.”
Bingdi’s face was icy: “His strength is at least that of a Titled Douluo. It’s unlikely that I can take him down without any harm in my current state. Tianmeng, if he wants to attack Yuhao later, don’t just stand there like an idiot.”
Huo Yuhao said calmly to the Sea of Spirit: “Don’t worry about it. He won’t take action.”
Then he continued to stand in the room, remaining silent.
Although Huo Yuhao said this, Ice Emperor still watched the mysterious old man’s every move with caution.
The mysterious old man finally showed up and slowly walked from a corner of the room to Huo Yuhao. He said with a burning gaze, “You are so scared that you can’t move. I was right, wasn’t I? No matter how well you hide it, you can’t hide it from my eyes.”
“Don’t even think about running away. I have sealed this place with my soul power. You can’t escape now.”
Huo Yuhao still said nothing and just stared at him silently.
“No matter how strong you were before, you are now just a weak human body. Let me think about it. Your martial spirit is ice. Are you the Snow Girl among the ten fierce beasts, or the Ice Jade Scorpion King?”
“Hahaha, no matter which one you are, you can only become a spirit ring and a spirit bone. You should be the Ice Jade Scorpion King, hahaha… wait… damn, why is it you?”
The old man was smiling happily, but when he saw Huo Yuhao’s cold expression, he suddenly remembered something and finally recognized the young man in front of him.
Huo Yuhao then said quietly, “Long time no see, Senior Cheng Gang.”
The mysterious old man suddenly lost interest and put away the soul power that sealed the room. He was the Protector of the Xing Luo Empire, the Giant Strength Douluo, Cheng Gang.
Cheng Gang frowned and said, “I haven’t seen you for more than a year and I didn’t recognize you at first sight. How come you are here, little brat from the Dai family?”
“I am now participating in the competition for Shrek Academy.” Huo Yuhao said calmly, “Also, I am no longer a member of the Dai family.”
“Hmph, whatever you want.” Cheng Gang snorted coldly and said, “What’s with that ferocious beast aura on you?”
“My second martial soul is ice, which is a fusion of the Ice Jade Scorpion’s soul ring and a soul bone. As for why you made a mistake, I don’t know.”
“Damn it, I was so happy for nothing.” Cheng Gang snorted again and was about to climb out the window to leave.
Huo Yuhao suddenly called out to him: “Wait, Senior Cheng Gang.”
Cheng Gang asked impatiently: “Little ghost, what else?”
“Please give Jiujiu a message for me.” Huo Yuhao said calmly, “I have something important to discuss with her in a few days.”
“Got it.” Cheng Gang responded impatiently and disappeared in front of the window.
Chapter 137 Princess Jiujiu
There were a total of seven round-robin matches, and all of them were won without any suspense.
Ling Luochen’s injury was the lightest, so she was able to play at the beginning of the fourth game, which relieved a lot of pressure on the reserve players.
After the round-robin tournament, Shrek Academy entered the final knockout round and took the opportunity to have three full days of rest.
Ma Xiaotao and Dai Yuheng’s injuries have finally recovered and they are able to participate in the subsequent elimination rounds.
Just as Wang Yan was arranging tactics for everyone and thinking about how to deal with the first opponent in the knockout round, the last session’s top four, Douling Royal Academy, there was a knock on the door of the conference room.
“If the distinguished guests of Shrek are free tonight, you are welcome to attend our top auction at the Starlight Auction House. I believe today’s auction will not disappoint you.”
The auctioneer I met last time took out a stack of exquisite invitations and placed them on the table. He bowed respectfully and then left.
……
In the evening, there is a top auction at Starlight Auction House.
Today’s auction is obviously much more high-end than the last one. Both the environment and the reception staff reveal an expensive atmosphere. Each team of bidders also has a separate luxury room, and images are transmitted through a soul guide screen made of ore.
While others were marveling at the luxury of the auction venue, Huo Yuhao quietly released his spiritual detection to investigate the situation in the entire auction venue.
The wide mental detection is enough to cover most of the auction hall, but it does not need to be too large. It is enough to cover the platform where the auctioneer is.
A golden light flashed on the soul guide screen, and a melodious voice sounded: “Welcome to the Starlight Auction House’s top auction. Today, we will bring you nine precious items. We will display them from low to high in terms of value. I hope you will like them.”
The soul guide screen gradually became clear, and a girl in a red dress was standing in the middle of the platform.
She has a beautiful face and a slim figure. The red dress sets off her fair skin, giving people a sense of perfection.
“Hello, distinguished guests. I am today’s auctioneer Jiujiu. It is my honor to host this top-notch auction. Let’s not waste any more time. Now, please appreciate the first lot of today’s auction.”
She smiled and performed an elegant gesture, and the image of an object appeared on the soul guide screen.
Dai Yuheng was stunned for a moment when he saw the appearance of the auctioneer.
Because she is the sister of the current Emperor Xingluo, Her Royal Highness Princess Xu Jiujiu.
Dai Yueheng subconsciously turned around to glance at Huo Yuhao, who was just sitting there with a blank expression.
The items in the top auction are naturally extraordinary. The first item is an eighth-level close-body soul guide produced by Mingdetang. It is made of precious materials and is integrated with the right arm bone of a ten-thousand-year-old tiger soul beast. It is extremely powerful.
Mingdetang is also the golden signboard of the level of soul guides of the Sun-Moon Empire. The products of Mingdetang must be extraordinary.
In the end, this close-body soul guide device was bought by Dai Yueheng for more than one million gold soul coins.
Afterwards, Wang Yan also bought twelve level six fixed-type soul guide shells.
Then there were five more items for auction, which were either high-level soul bones or soul guides, but Wang Yan did not bid for any of them.
“The eighth item is still a soul bone, and it is a unique soul bone. It comes from an ice blue scorpion that is 50,000 to 70,000 years old.” Xu Jiujiu’s voice sounded on the soul guide screen.
“Its advantages mainly include three aspects: it can enhance the ice attribute of the absorber, strengthen the physique, and most importantly, it has a solidification skill: Ice Explosion!”
A piece of emerald green soul bone immediately appeared on the soul guide screen, and it seemed to be emitting a faint icy mist.
This is a left arm bone, and it is…the left arm bone of an Ice Scorpion.
Huo Yuhao appeared calm on the surface, but the Ice Emperor in his sea of spirituality could no longer control his rage and began to run wild and vent his anger.
“asshole!”
She kept roaring and punching the ice again and again, creating spider-web-like cracks.
Tian Meng was trembling with fear at the side. Seeing that Bingdi’s anger seemed to have subsided a little, he said anxiously: “Bingbing, calm down, calm down…”
“It doesn’t matter.” Bingdi said coldly, “Do you think the soul bones of our people are so easy to integrate? Without the Ultimate Ice Martial Spirit, it is impossible to absorb this soul bone.”
“But this Ice Explosion is indeed a magical skill. Even this emperor does not have this skill in his talents. Yuhao, you must get it no matter what.”
Huo Yuhao was helpless: “Then I have to be rich… Don’t you see that the previous soul bones were all sold for tens of millions of gold soul coins? Although I am not short of money, I am not that rich…”
Bingdi snorted, “Why not just let this academy pay for it?”
“I am keeping my distance from the academy now. I don’t want to receive too much benefit from them. I have better partners than the academy.”
Huo Yuhao had a blank expression on his face as he stared silently at the direction of the stage.
Xu Jiujiu was smiling when she suddenly froze, and a huge amount of information suddenly appeared in her mind. She subconsciously glanced at the private room where Shrek Academy was located.
Her good ability to respond prevented her from showing any signs of abnormality. After a brief moment of surprise, she still kept smiling and just made a secret gesture to the side.
Ling Luochen looked at the left arm bone of the Ice Scorpion with fanatical eyes. With this soul bone, her strength would be able to rise to a higher level.
Wang Yan was also prepared to bid. Whether it was Huo Yuhao or Ling Luochen, this soul bone could bring a significant improvement.
“The auction begins. The starting price for the left arm bone of the Ice Jade Scorpion is twenty-five million gold soul coins. Each bid increase must not be less than one hundred thousand gold soul coins.” Xu Jiujiu announced.
Upon hearing the high price, there were gasps of surprise from every private room.
When Wang Yan heard the price, he opened his mouth and was speechless.
He expected that the price of this top-grade soul bone would be very high, but he didn’t expect it to be so expensive.
Twenty-five million gold soul coins are a terrifying amount of wealth no matter where they are placed. But is it really worth it just to buy a soul bone?
And this is just the starting price.
The extremely high starting price discouraged almost everyone, and only the sound of bidding could be heard from one private room.
No one responded within a minute, and the Ice Scorpion’s left arm bone was naturally bought by the only bidder.
“Ugh……”
Wang Yan and Ling Luochen sighed at the same time. Without money, they could only sigh in despair.
Xu Jiujiu smiled and said, “Next is the last lot of this auction. This will be the most precious lot in the history of our auction house. Even I am seeing it for the first time.”
“I believe everyone knows that after soul beasts have cultivated for 100,000 years, all soul beasts will have a unique choice, which is to transform into a human fetus and cultivate again. As long as they continue to cultivate to the seventh ring, they can truly become adults.”
“And the last item in our auction is a 100,000-year-old soul beast that was captured by a powerful person when it chose to re-cultivate into a human being, and was imprisoned in the ninth-level soul guide device Conferred God Platform—”
“A hundred thousand year soul beast embryo!”
Chapter 138: Transaction with Her Royal Highness the Princess
“The distinguished guests below will have 30 minutes to prepare and enjoy the auction. After 30 minutes, the last auction will begin.”
“But I want to remind everyone that if you want to take a picture of this 100,000-year-old soul beast embryo, you must purchase it together with the ninth-level soul guide device Fengshen Platform that seals space and time, because only in this way can the embryo be preserved.”
“So the price of this last lot will be very high. Considering that you may not have enough gold soul coins, this auction house allows you to exchange for money by mortgage.”
“Dear guests, see you in thirty minutes.”
