Douluo: Starting by Taking Control of the Holy Ghost Cult's Saintess

"Second Senior Brother, what kind of place is the Illustrious Virtue Hall?" Xiao Xiao leaned close to He Caitou and asked in a low voice.

Before He Caitou could answer, Wang Yan had already answered first, "The Illustrious Virtue Hall has deep origins with our Shrek. The status of the Illustrious Virtue Hall in the Sun Moon Empire is extremely high. To be precise, it itself is a part of the Sun Moon Royal Soul Engineering Academy. Just like our academy's inner court, only the most outstanding students of the Sun Moon Royal Soul Engineering Academy can enter it to cultivate and study. At the same time, it is also the highest authority in the Sun Moon Empire in the research and development of soul tools. If a soul tool made by the Illustrious Virtue Hall appears on the market, it is always in short supply. The Illustrious Virtue Hall is also hailed as a byword for the quality of soul tools."

Qing Ya was somewhat surprised by Wang Yan's extensive knowledge. She covered her lips and chuckled lightly, "Teacher Wang is very right. In the Illustrious Virtue Hall, the number of teachers is even greater than the number of students. The strongest soul tool masters of the Sun Moon Empire are concentrated there. For many years, almost all the soul tools on the continent that have cross-era significance have been produced by the Illustrious Virtue Hall. It can be said that the Illustrious Virtue Hall is the most important ivory tower of the Sun Moon Empire, and also the most cutting-edge place for the research of soul tool technology on the continent today."

A simple introduction, yet it made Bei Bei's eyes dim. He couldn't help but think to himself, if one day, our Tang Sect could receive such an evaluation, how good that would be!

In the past, when they were cultivating and studying hard at the academy, their feelings were not too deep. With this departure from the academy to participate in the competition in Star Luo City, throughout the entire process, they had learned many things that they had not learned in the academy. Plus Wang Yan's guidance, they understood the importance of soul tools more and more. The level of research and development of the Sun Moon Empire in soul tools was far more advanced than other countries than he had originally imagined.

In fact, what shocked Wang Yan, Bei Bei, and He Caitou the most was not the level-eight soul tool, the Tyrant Tiger Soul-Refining Blade, before them, but the soul tool screen that could be used without soul power injection. Although Qing Ya had explained that this soul tool screen was only supported by very weak energy, since the Sun Moon Empire had already developed a soul tool that did not require soul power to be driven, then was the gap between weak and strong still that big? Perhaps in not too many years, the Sun Moon Empire would be able to develop soul tools that could attack and defend without the support of soul power. If it really came to that time, I'm afraid the entire pattern of the continent would undergo a drastic change with it.

"Viewing time is over. The Tyrant Tiger Soul-Refining Blade, starting bid six hundred thousand gold soul coins. Each bid increase must not be less than five thousand gold soul coins. All distinguished guests are experts. I believe there is no need for Jiujiu to say too much. The bidding begins. If no one raises the price within one minute of a bid, the auction is concluded."

The screen changed, turning a faint white. The image of the previous Tyrant Tiger Soul-Refining Blade then faded into the background. A huge number of six hundred thousand appeared on the screen.

"Six hundred and fifty thousand," Dai Yueheng said directly. He turned his head and signaled to Wang Yan, "Teacher Wang, this is my personal action."

As the host, how could his White Tiger lineage possibly lack funds? To bid for this blade, although he needed to ask for instructions from his family, in general, it would not be too difficult. Dai Yueheng himself was also a descendant of the ancient noble family that had inherited the title of White Tiger Duke for ten thousand years. As the eldest son, the financial resources he could mobilize were quite substantial.

The number of gold soul coins soared in a straight line, breaking the million mark in a short while. However, after breaking through a million, the speed at which the number jumped also began to slow down.

How many of those who came to participate in the top-tier auction were fools? Everyone was an expert. Everyone was very clear about the value of the items. The starting price given by the auction house was definitely not high, but the possibility of picking up a bargain at a low price was also close to zero.

In the end, Dai Yueheng steeled his heart and bought this Tyrant Tiger Soul-Refining Blade for a price of one million, five hundred and sixty thousand gold soul coins.

On the other side, Huo Yuhao saw that the final transaction price was still this number and immediately guessed who the buyer was.

"This Dai Yueheng indeed has a little more brains than Dai Huabin, but not by much," he couldn't help but laugh.

Princess Jiujiu in her long red dress once again appeared on the screen. With a charming smile, she bowed slightly and said, "Thank you to the distinguished guest who just bought the Tyrant Tiger Soul-Refining Blade for your support of this auction. Next, we will begin the second auction item. Although they are a one-time consumable, they are very rare, and it is quite difficult to assemble this set. Will all distinguished guests please take a look..."

Huo Yuhao was not interested in the other trash besides the two final items. He couldn't help but start teasing the Nanmen Yun'er who had been so bold yesterday. It wasn't that his standards were too high, but that these things were of no damn use against the opponents he would face next.

And this second auction item was naturally also bought by the Shrek Academy side. At the last moment, Wang Yan, just as in the original novel, added a few thousand gold soul coins on top of the base price.

Qing Ya smiled and congratulated him, also with a look of joy on her face. The Shrek Academy she was responsible for receiving had successively bid for two auction items. Not only would she get a commission, but at the same time, it would also be very helpful for her performance review at the auction house.

However, for the next few auction items, Shrek Academy did not bid again. Four consecutive auction items were a left arm bone, a right arm bone, a left leg bone, and an extremely rare metal.

Soul bones were precisely what the soul tool masters on the Sun Moon Empire's side were most lacking. During this period, the Sun Moon team also made a move twice, buying two suitable soul bones for their participating team members.

It was worth mentioning the seventh auction item, a long-range soul tool cannon. As a level-eight soul tool, its user needed to be an expert at the Titled Douluo level. Its name was the Heaven and Earth Splitting Cannon. It also came from the Sun Moon Empire but was not produced by the Illustrious Virtue Hall. The creator was a rare level-nine soul tool master.

Under Qing Ya's intentional instigation, Wang Yan finally couldn't help but make a move. Even at this level of price, in order not to lose face in front of Qing Ya, he excessively used his limited authority in the academy.

As for the students, no one could use this thing, and no one could take out so much money. They could only act as spectators.

This made Qing Ya, who had always held expectations for him, unable to help but be overjoyed. She actually, right in front of everyone, quickly gave him a kiss on the cheek.

In the end, this Heaven and Earth Splitting Cannon was bought by Shrek for a sky-high price of eight million gold soul coins.

Truly, to win a smile from a beauty, he went on a furious buying spree!

Huo Yuhao knew that the reason this soul tool cannon was rated as a level-eight soul tool and not a level-nine was mainly because its own material was slightly inferior, which limited the number of times this Heaven and Earth Splitting Cannon could be used. So it could only be used once a day. At the same time, its charging time was relatively long, and it could only be aimed at a fixed target. In a battle of the same level, it was of no use. In general, the evaluation was: a level-eight soul tool with a level-nine core formation.

So the Illustrious Virtue Hall had casually sold this thing off. Wang Yan had smoothly let Shrek Academy act as the sucker this time.

The beautiful figure of Princess Jiujiu appeared on the big screen for the eighth time. She smiled faintly and said, "The next two auction items will be the main event of today. I believe all you distinguished guests will be interested. You must seize the opportunity. Some good things are rarely seen, and it may even be impossible to find a second one on the continent. For example, our next eighth auction item is still a soul bone, but it is different from the others. Please take a look."

With a flash of light and shadow, a soul bone, magnified who knows how many times, appeared on the soul tool screen. This soul bone was entirely emerald green. An emerald-green halo flowed and fluctuated on it, as if there were an emerald-green liquid inside.

From its shape, it was a left arm soul bone. On its emerald-green body, a faint white mist was emitted.

The main event has arrived! Huo Yuhao quickly sat up straight. The shy and embarrassed Nanmen Yun'er finally escaped a calamity.

"Bastard!" The voice belonging to the Ice Empress suddenly sounded in Huo Yuhao's mind. Besides Bibi Dong and the Tianmeng Ice Silkworm, the other great masters in his spiritual sea had not read the memories of the original world line. The Ice Empress at this moment was naturally furious.

Huo Yuaho naturally dared not tell her that he and Zhongli Yu had drunk no small amount of fresh soup made from the Ice Jade Scorpion in the Land of Extreme North.

And, for future arrangements, Huo Yuhao had even specially caught a ten-thousand-year Ice Jade Scorpion with Zhongli Yu in the Land of Extreme North, which was bound in the depths of the Kamui space.

This Ice Jade Scorpion left arm bone was indeed not bad. The Ice Burst Art was also of great use. It was a pity that Huo Yuhao already had arrangements for his entire six-piece soul bone set. Otherwise, he really would have planned to bid for it for his own use.

Now he could only hope that the senior sister Ling Luochen from Shrek had learned more about this aspect of knowledge in the library and wouldn't rashly absorb it after bidding for it.

After finishing speaking about the pros and cons of this Ice Jade Scorpion soul bone in one breath, after Princess Jiujiu's voice disappeared, everyone was a little dazed. Only Wang Yan remained clear-headed. He quickly turned his head to look at Qing Ya and asked softly, "Miss Qing Ya, among the people who came to participate in the bidding today, are there many who are ice-attribute soul masters?"

A trace of embarrassment flashed across Qing Ya's pretty face, but she did not deny it. She nodded gently. "Sorry, this is something our auction house must do. The auction items participating in a top-tier auction are all rare treasures. Naturally, they should be auctioned to the distinguished guests who truly need them. In fact, the first seven items can be said to have all been a warm-up. These last two are the main event. However, although our auction house has some targeted strategies, the introduction by Auctioneer Jiujiu was not exaggerated in the slightest. This soul bone is indeed a top-quality item among top-quality items."

Wang Yan nodded slightly, turned his head to look at Ling Luochen, and said with some embarrassment, "The soul bone is indeed very good. If you have no objection, I can try for you."

Ling Luochen naturally understood what Wang Yan meant. Such a top-tier ice-system soul bone was no longer a matter of money, but something that could be chanced upon but not sought! No matter how many gold soul coins you had, when the thing you wanted had not appeared, money was just a number.

For Ling Luochen, this soul bone had huge benefits. It could be said that with it, Ling Luochen's overall strength could rise a whole level. When she reached Dai Yueheng's level, her future would also change with it.

Ice Burst. It sounded like a very simple phrase. But as an ice-system soul master, how could Ling Luochen not understand its meaning? Simply put, the power of this Ice Burst was equivalent to the Corpse Explosion that they had encountered from that Death God's Emissary before. And its power was even stronger. For an ice-system soul master, what was making some ice? And after this Ice Burst was detonated, if operated well, its power was indeed worthy of being called a divine skill!

At this time, in Huo Yuhao's spiritual sea, it was almost about to turn into a noisy argument. After a brief moment of resentment, the Ice Empress, hearing the two words "Ice Burst," continuously shouted loudly, demanding that Huo Yuhao must take down this soul bone no matter what. The reason was very simple. Even the Starlight Auction House did not know that for the Ice Jade Scorpion clan, this Ice Burst skill was extremely rare, even a rare existence. Even the Ice Jade Empress Scorpion, the Ice Empress, who was the king of the Ice Jade Scorpions, did not have this skill in her talent.

It was just that after Huo Yuhao's Soul-Slaying Blade was completely liberated, one of its moves, under Electrolux's improvement, was already enough to be compared to the Ice Burst Art. If it, the Ice Empress, had this skill in the Land of Extreme North, then it would have been possible for her to challenge the Snow Empress, the leader of the Three Great Heavenly Kings of the Land of Extreme North.

It was just that Wang Yan had already used up more than his limit of authority to bid for that soul tool cannon. Now, looking at the unconcealable look of hope in Ling Luochen's eyes, the words that had reached Wang Yan's mouth were still swallowed back down.

This soul bone, which was comparable to a hundred-thousand-year soul bone for an ice-system soul master, who could possibly give it up! It would be strange if Ling Luochen didn't want it. Without a doubt, this soul bone would surely be a sky-high price. Besides the price, Wang Yan was also unwilling for this female student to have a change in her mood because of him. In the upcoming competitions, he still needed her to fight side by side with the entire team.

As one of the most powerful races in the Land of Extreme North, the Ice Jade Scorpion clan was extremely proud. And, they also possessed the strongest ice in the world today. Therefore, whether it was a soul ring or a soul bone produced by the Ice Jade Scorpion clan, there was a special requirement for absorption: to absorb a soul bone from the Ice Jade Scorpion clan, no matter what year limit the clansman it came from was, for a human, the primary requirement was Ultimate Ice. A physique without an Ultimate Ice martial soul simply could not absorb a soul bone produced by an Ice Jade Scorpion.

And in this life, without Huo Yuhao's reminder, Ling Luochen would surely be green with envy for this soul bone and would take it down at all costs.

"Viewing time is over. The Ice Jade Scorpion left arm bone, starting bid ten million gold soul coins. Each bid increase must not be less than one hundred thousand gold soul coins. The bidding begins!"

Finally, the screen changed, turning a faint white. The image of the previous soul bone then faded into the background. An exaggeratedly huge number of ten million appeared on the screen.

"Teacher Wang, how much more gold soul coins can your authority be advanced?" Ling Luochen almost pounced in front of Wang Yan, asking with a burning gaze.

Wang Yan did not dare to look her directly in the eye. He really couldn't bear to say the truth that he had already over-advanced his quota. And Yan Shaozhe, who could use a greater authority, because of the turmoil a few days ago, had been invited by the Star Luo imperial family to go and investigate the scene of the "Limit Douluo" exchange. He had not come to participate in the auction with everyone.

Wang Yan, because of his special status, could use eight million of the academy's funds. This, for other academies, was already an astronomical figure.

If he hadn't spent eight million just now to forcefully bid for that soul tool cannon, it would still be justifiable to purchase a soul bone for a participating student by advancing the funds. Now he only felt his head was about to explode.
