LIGHTNOVELONLINE Chapter 83: Not as powerful as what I did
In a conference room in the center of the imperial city of Xingluo Empire.
Xu Jiawei stared quietly at the Xingluo Square below where the battle was still going on.
From his perspective, his sight not only included the contestants who were fighting, but also the people in the Xinghuang Hotel.
For example, Shrek Academy and Sun Moon Royal Soul Instructor Academy.
Beside him, the person following was not the queen who attended with him this morning, but a woman in a golden shawl gauze dress.
The woman's age was somewhat similar to Xu Jiawei's face.
"Brother, is your injury better?"
"It's okay. I have been recuperating for more than half a year and I am almost healed.
Is the auction house ready in a few days?"
Xu Jiawei asked.
But Xu Jiujiu's face still showed worry.
Since more than half a year ago, after receiving the prediction of the family's Xingguan martial spirit, Xu Jiawei took several titled Douluo of the Xingluo Empire to the extreme north to obtain the treasure. Although they gained something, they were all seriously injured.
Especially because of the excessive consumption of soul power and the serious injury of Shattered Star Douluo, even his soul power level was seriously damaged.
"We are ready. According to the scheduled time, it is the time period after the eight to four. At that time, Shrek Academy and Sun Moon Royal Soul Guidance Instrument Academy will participate.
The 100,000-year soul beast embryo can definitely attract the Sun Moon Empire, and Shrek will definitely not let it go, but their hasty preparations and financial resources are definitely not as good as those of the Sun Moon Empire."
Xu Jiujiu said, and said all the things that had been arranged.
"Ahem, Jiujiu, thank you for your hard work. Whether our Xingluo Empire can survive this chaos depends on whether the plan can succeed."
Xu Jiawei coughed twice, and then said in a deep voice.
His injuries were not serious. It was mainly because he was injured and forced to activate the secret method, which caused the backlash.
Although the goal was achieved, the overall strength of him and the Xingluo Empire declined a lot.
This made Xu Jiawei not know whether this matter was a good thing or a bad thing.
But the matter was done. Even if Xu Jiawei wanted to change his mind now, he couldn't. He could only go on like this.
Xu Jiujiu watched Xu Jiawei walk out of the dark room for a long time before sighing.
She wanted to say something several times, but couldn't.
She could only dissipate with a sigh.
In the next two days, Xingluo Imperial City was still lively.
Many academies have been eliminated in the past few hundred years, but the atmosphere in the Imperial City has not cooled down because of the departure of these people. On the contrary, it has continued to rise because of the intensity of the competition.
Three consecutive days of 7V7 team battles ignited the enthusiasm of the audience, and at the same time, they were looking forward to the second round of tomorrow's game.
Huo Yuhao also spent these two days very peacefully.
Because in the next two days, they encountered some not-so-strong opponents.
Ma Xiaotao and the others simply handed over all the power to the reserve team.
During this period, their players also rotated, and only Huo Yuhao was always behind to provide auxiliary effects of shared spiritual detection.
After every battle, they would bring out a small bench and sit at the back to share the spiritual detection, as if everything had nothing to do with them.
In addition to his identity as the captain of the reserve team, the audience now calls him the captain of the slacking team.
The main thing is to slack off and get by.
Today, Huo Yuhao and others who had just finished a game were brought to the auction site by Wang Yan.
Because it has been a long time, Huo Yuhao can't remember the general details of this time, but he only remembers that Huo Gua in the original book seems to have obtained the gold of living beings here.
It seems that the Snow Emperor was also auctioned during this time period.
But the Snow Emperor has now been subdued by him in advance, so what will be auctioned at the Xingluo Empire auction now?
Will there be a 100,000-year soul beast embryo?
Huo Yuhao is full of expectations for this.
……………………
“Today’s auction is a special auction for soul guides. Since only soul guides below level 6 will be auctioned, the specifications are relatively low.
According to the classification, it can only be considered a level 4 auction.
Our Starlight Auction House’s classification is from one to five, with level 1 being the highest specification, and it is only in the main auction hall.”
A pretty etiquette lady, whose cheongsam was almost open on the upper thigh, said gently, explaining the rules of this auction house.
After that, the group of people entered the No. 12 auction hall.
It is worth mentioning that for some reason, Xiao Xiao and the others always stood on the left side of Huo Yuhao, vaguely blocking the etiquette lady.
As soon as they entered the No. 12 auction hall, the surrounding light suddenly dimmed, and the group also received a pair of white masks from other etiquette ladies.
After putting them on, they walked to the booth.
“Welcome all distinguished guests to the Starlight Auction House. Our auction is about to begin. Please take your seats.”
A beautiful female voice came from all around the auction house, and then a woman in a purple dress walked onto the stage from one side of the auction hall.
The woman looked to be in her thirties, with a dignified appearance. The long skirt on her body outlined soft lines, showing her beauty.
Especially with the charming expression on her face, she looked like a peach, making people want to take a bite.
Xu Sanshi, who was sitting next to her, had his eyes wide open, his Adam's apple rolled, and the sound of swallowing saliva was particularly conspicuous in the silent auction hall.
"This is the auctioneer. Generally speaking, whether it is an auction house or a large auction house like this, appearance is always the first factor when selecting an auctioneer.
Not only does he have to be good-looking, but he also has to be decent.
A male auctioneer must have a decent appearance and must not have a negative appearance. A female auctioneer must be dignified and beautiful, or at least cater to the aesthetics of most people. "
In the audience, Beibei explained some common sense in the auction house.
Huo Yuhao and others nodded in unison. I don't know if it was an illusion, but Huo Yuhao always felt that Jiang Nannan's eyes were obviously colder when she looked at Xu Sanshi.
Xu Sanshi, as if he had a spider sense, took back the Pig Brother portrait without looking back.
It was as if everything just now was just an illusion.
The auctioneer on the stage also started today's auction after introducing himself.
"Our auction starts now, please ask the staff to present today's first lot."
After the words fell, two girls in red skirts pushed a school bus onto the auction stage. The cart was covered with a purple cloth, making it difficult to see the items inside.
The two of them pushed the cart to the middle position before stopping, and at the same time lifted the cloth on it.
Let today’s first lot reveal its true face.
A rectangular, one-foot-long black soul guide was revealed in front of everyone.
"The third-level offensive soul guide should be made by an intermediate soul master. The magic circle above does not look like a pure attack type. It should be a paralysis ray or poison."
"It's not as powerful as what I did."
Huo Yuhao whispered.
And after a long series of explanations, it ends with a sentence that is not as good as what I did.
When Wang Yan first asked him to come to the auction house and said he wanted to buy a soul tool, Huo Yuhao had a suggestion.
Not only is it expensive to buy soul tools from outside, but the quality is not necessarily good.
The most important thing is that the money has been taken away by others, so it is better to buy something made by him or the academy.
During this period of time, the development of the Soul Guidance Department of Shrek Academy has been greatly improved, and it is definitely incomparable with the Sun and Moon Empire.
But compared to other countries it is more than enough.
Especially the soul guidance device made by Huo Yuhao himself. He can guarantee that at this time, no low-level soul guidance device can do it better than him!
But Wang Yan rejected his proposal on the grounds that it needed to be fully assembled and would not delay his cultivation.
At that time, Huo Yuhao wanted to say that what he wanted to sell were "elimination products", but it was difficult to say so directly, and that's what happened now.
Wang Yan glanced at Huo Yuhao helplessly, but still did not agree.
Because according to his vision, all reserve team members and regular team members should be equipped with appropriate soul guides.
With so many people, Huo Yuhao alone is undoubtedly a fantasy.
This was also the reason for his refusal.
After a few more soul guide transitions, the ranking meeting finally came to an end.
“Dear distinguished guests, our mysterious gift is about to be unveiled, and this is also the last item to be auctioned tonight.
Originally, his value would not appear in this auction house, but in order to thank all distinguished guests for their continued support of Starlight, with the permission of our chief auctioneer, this item was specially added. "
As he spoke, the auctioneer named Qing Ya's face turned crimson, as if he was drunk, and his voice became high-pitched.
A cart was pushed out by the attendant. Different from the previous ones, this cart was much larger.
The cloth on this big cart has also been replaced with a bright and eye-catching red.
According to what the maid said, the grade of the items in Starlight Auction House is related to Mongolian cloth.
The most precious color is gold, followed by red. The value of this lot can be seen from this piece of cloth.
As soon as this lot was launched, Huo Yuhao's golden ball of luck started to react.
Obviously, this lot has something to do with him, and it also carries his missing luck.
Needless to say, this is one of Huo's cheats in the original work, and the most likely one is the living gold carving knife.
Because this item does not look like an ice-exploded soul bone, let alone a hundred thousand year old soul beast embryo.
"Everyone must know what this mysterious gift is. I don't say that everyone should also know its value, rarity, and importance to the soul master. So, next, the auction begins!"
Qingya's words and Mengbu appeared at the same time, and everyone's eyes were attracted.
But to the disappointment of all the viewers, after the curtain was lifted, the big-name products inside were not dazzling and peerless treasures.
But it is a carving knife that looks ordinary.
The carving knife is about half a foot long and only as thick as a finger.
From bottom to top, it changes from wide to narrow. The top is a sharp-looking tip, and the bottom is a sharp blade about half an inch wide.
The whole is simple and dark, with faint patterns engraved on it. It exudes a faint aura of decay and is extremely gloomy.
How could a person with strong spiritual power see through the surface decay and see the brilliance hidden within?
Just like tea, it looks ordinary "bitter" on the outside, but it is sweet after entering the mouth.
Most of the audience obviously couldn't see the mystery, but there were still some viewers who knew the origin of this carving knife.
Seeing that there was some silence in the scene, a look of anxiety appeared on Qingya's face, and she quickly spoke out in an attempt to save the situation.
"The carving knife is a must-have for all soul masters, and a good carving knife is even more necessary to become a warning soul master.
I believe everyone knows the ranking of carving knives, right?
It contains the top one hundred carving knives in Douluo Continent and Sun Moon Continent, most of which are in the Sun Moon Empire.
The carving knife in front of everyone is the Zinbang carving knife. "
After Zaibang Ke Dao said it, the eyes of everyone present changed, and everyone's eyes became intense. Wang Yan even spoke directly and looked at Huo Yuhao.
At the same time, he was also ready to contact Qian Duoduo, Yan Shaozhe and the others.
Because this time he was only preparing soul guides for the reserve team, he didn't prepare too many gold soul coins. Now that such a good thing came out, he would definitely try his best to fight for Huo Yuhao.
At the same time, when he saw the carving knife, Electrolux, who had not spoken for a long time in Huo Yuhao's mind, also spoke.
"Yu Hao, this is the gold of living beings. You have to get it no matter what the cost. He will be of great help to you!"
There was unconcealable excitement in Electrolux's voice.
The audience present also began to get excited, and some impatient people began to urge Qingya to start bidding quickly.
Seeing that the atmosphere in the audience was getting heated, Qingya on the stage was not in a hurry anymore.
He looked at the carving knife on the cart with a somewhat regretful look.
"Don't be anxious, everyone. I believe everyone has always known the integrity of our Starlight Auction House. Therefore, in order to maintain credibility, I need to tell all the information about this lot, and the distinguished guests can decide whether to bid or not."
As she spoke, Qingya's eyes became even more regretful.
In her eyes, if this carving knife did not have this shortcoming, its value would be inestimable.
Of course, if there were no such so-called "shortcomings", it would not be her turn to host the auction.
"If this carving knife is a normal carving knife, its value will definitely not appear in this auction. The problem is that it is not normal.
In the ranking list of carving knives, it ranks 99th, but its ability does not mean it can only rank 99th. In terms of ability, it is not an exaggeration to rank it in the top 30.
The problem is, it's a cursed carving knife called the Soul-Eating Carving Knife. "
Before Qing Ya could finish her words, a knowledgeable soul master lost his voice and said, "Is this the soul-eating carving knife that can backfire on its master?"
Qingya looked at this person in surprise and nodded.
"Yes, this carving knife has had a total of thirty-seven owners in the history traced by our Starlight Auction House, spanning more than three thousand years of history.
Without exception, all the masters died tragically after obtaining the Soul-Eating Carving Knife.
Nine of them even became evil soul masters.
According to legend, the soul of a genius evil soul master resides in this fierce sword, which will lead people to evil, and eventually the owner will die. "
Qing Ya said, then changed the subject.
"But our Starlight Auction House can guarantee that as long as you don't inject soul power into it, it won't be counterattacked. Moreover, such a precious thing is also very good for collection!"
