Douluo: Traveling through Huo Yuhao, I am really not a succubus

Chapter 202: The Soul Devouring Blade
On the stage, auctioneer Qingya has already started the introduction.

"Everyone must be very curious about what this mysterious gift is. It's getting late, and Qingya never keeps people in suspense. This mysterious gift can be regarded as the most common but also the most indispensable close friend for soul masters. Every soul master must have it. However, our last auction item today is completely different. It is not a soul guide device, so I said it should not be here. However, it has a very close relationship with soul masters. Before I lift the curtain, let me say one last thing. With its value and rarity, it can be listed in our top auction of Starlight Auction House. Everyone, please have a look."

At the moment when the cloth was lifted, everyone's eyes were drawn to it. The dazzling brilliance or peerless splendor that everyone expected did not appear. What appeared was just an ordinary-looking item. As Qingya said, this was something that any soul guide was very familiar with and indispensable.

The reason why the cloth was so high was not because the item itself was large, but because it was supported by a display stand, and the volume under the cloth was naturally the display stand. The item itself was very small, 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 very sharp tip, and below is a sharp blade about half an inch wide. The whole is simple and dark, with faint patterns engraved on it, exuding a faint ancient atmosphere. But it is also a bit gloomy.

Many bidders let out dissatisfied sighs. Obviously, they did not feel that this mysterious gift brought them any surprises. But a few people's pupils were shrinking rapidly, and they were shocked by the appearance of this item.

Engraving knife. Yes, this is the carving knife that a soul guide uses to engrave the core array. Both ends of the carving knife have their uses, and their uses are different when engraving different arrays. Any soul guide cannot do without a carving knife, which is a necessity for making soul guides.

Huo Yuhao also has a carving knife, which is made of pure diamond. It is sharp, hard and stable, and very suitable for him to use.

Fan Yu also said that he would find a better carving knife for him after he reached the fourth level of soul guide. After all, the higher the level of soul guide, the rarer and tougher the metals will be. If the carving knife is not good enough, how can the core magic array be engraved? Moreover, a good carving knife can make the soul guide more efficient in the process of making soul guides, and vice versa.

"This thing is a bit unusual!"

Huo Yuhao narrowed his eyes slightly, and it was unknown what he was thinking.

A clear and elegant voice sounded amidst the discontent, "I think some of you have been deceived by its appearance. Then, I can only regretfully tell you that you are wrong. Missing this mysterious gift will be the biggest mistake of your life. Now, let me introduce this seemingly ordinary, but definitely not ordinary carving knife to you all."

"A carving knife is a must-have for all soul masters. And a good carving knife is the most important thing for becoming a high-level soul master. The one you see in front of you can no longer be simply described as good. It is no exaggeration to say that it is a peerless carving knife. In the world of soul masters, carving knives are also ranked. The top carving knives are almost all in the hands of top soul masters. You should have heard of the term "ranked carving knives". It means being able to be on the carving knife ranking list."

"On the carving knife ranking list of our Douluo Continent, there are only the top 100 carving knives. Unfortunately, more than two-thirds of them are in the Sun-Moon Empire. This is one of the important reasons why the soul masters of the Sun-Moon Empire are so numerous and so powerful. What you see in front of you is one of the top 100 carving knives, which is the carving knife on the list I just mentioned."

As soon as the words "listing the list and carving the knife" were said, the audience suddenly burst into an uproar, and all the previous sighs had disappeared.

“It’s actually the ranking engraving knife?” Huo Yuhao looked at He Caitou and found that he was shaking his head with a melancholy look on his face.

"Brother Caitou, you weren't originally planning to take advantage of the situation, were you?"

"you caught me."

".You even hid it from me, you idiot. You'll want me to smoke your big cigar again in the future!"

"Pfft, you fucking..." Xu Sanshi couldn't help but burst out laughing. What the hell, it's like you really like Cai Tou's big cigar.

Beibei also laughed, his character was completely ruined.

In the entire Shrek Academy, there are only two knives for making lists, one in the hands of Dean Xian Lin'er and the other in the hands of Fan Yu.

Therefore, He Caitou is really helpless.

Given the relationship between Huo Yuhao and Xian Lin'er, it is estimated that there is a high probability that he will inherit Xian Lin'er's carving knife in the future. As for Fan Yu's, it is not his, but the one given to Fan Yu by the academy for him to use first.

Alas, the Ranking Knife is a treasure that every soul engineer dreams of. It is a hundred thousand year soul bone in the soul engineer world!
Although Wang Yan could not understand the meaning of the carving knife, he became alert when he heard the words "rank carving knife". He knew that this was something he had to bring back to Shrek Academy no matter what. Even if it cost a high price, the academy would only reward him. Among the rare items that the academy was looking for, the ranking carving knife had always been on the list! Especially in the Soul Guidance Department, even the vice president Qian Duoduo could not use a ranking carving knife.

The suddenly heated atmosphere in the audience brought a dazzling smile to Qingya's pretty face. She was not in a hurry at all and waited for more than five minutes before the bidders in the audience gradually calmed down.

"Auctioneer Qingya, what are you waiting for? Start bidding." Someone couldn't help but urge.

Qingya smiled and said, "Dear guests, please don't be anxious. As everyone knows, our Xingguang Auction House has always been famous for its honesty. We will guarantee the quality of any item that comes out of us. We will never let any defective or problematic items be handed over to you without explanation. So, please allow me to finish what I want to say." As she spoke, Qingya looked at the ancient carving knife with some regret, sighed, and said, "If this is just a normal ranking carving knife, then, dear guests, you should have expected that it would never appear here. The preciousness of the ranking carving knife is always among the best in the world of soul guides, and it is even more precious than some rare materials. The reason why this ranking carving knife appears as the finale of today's fourth-level auction is because it has certain problems."

"It ranks 99th in the carving knife rankings. In fact, with its ability, it shouldn't be ranked so low. It should even be in the top 30. The reason for its low ranking is mainly because it is a cursed carving knife."

He Caitou suddenly lost his voice and said, "Could it be the evil sword that would turn against its master, the Soul Devourer?"

Everyone from Shrek Academy was sitting in the first row of the auction hall. His voice was loud, so Qingya naturally heard it. Surprise immediately appeared on her pretty face. "Sure enough, there is a distinguished guest who knows the value of goods. Yes, this carving knife is the Soul Devouring Carving Knife, which ranks 99th on the list of carving knives and is known as the fierce knife."

"The Soul Devouring Knife has a history of more than three thousand years. Three thousand years ago, it appeared in the Sun-Moon Empire. Its creator was a brilliant soul guide. It is said that this soul guide finally reached the ninth level. Moreover, he is not only a soul guide, but also a soul master, a terrible evil soul master. As early as three thousand years ago, he brought a bloody storm to the continent."

After hearing this, all the bidders in the venue fell silent, and many people's faces became solemn.

"The Soul Devouring Knife was made by the evil soul master in his later years. It is said that not long after he made the knife, he met his greatest enemy. This genius, but also a fierce man, died. When he died, he did not bring the Soul Devouring Knife with him. As time went by, this fierce knife was lost among the people."

"In the history traced by our Starlight Auction House, this evil knife has had a total of thirty-seven owners. However, without exception, all of these thirty-seven people died tragically in the end. Among them, nine people became evil soul masters. According to legend, this evil knife contains a trace of the soul of the genius evil soul master back then, which will lead people to evil. Only those with weak wills can use it. And it must not be used frequently. Therefore, its ranking has fallen again and again, and finally reached the point where it can't fall any lower. It is only because of its history and former glory that it has never been removed from the list of knives. People who like it have always hoped that it can find a real owner. What we hope is that its owner can be of the attribute of light, so that it is difficult to be backfired by it. Of course, we don't fully understand this knife, so all distinguished guests should be cautious when purchasing it. What we can guarantee is that as long as soul power is not injected into it, it will not backfire on the owner. Therefore, as a knife on the list, it is very good even as a collection."

After listening to Qingya's long introduction, everyone finally understood why a ranking engraving knife would appear at the fourth-level auction. Many people who were eager to try remained silent.

As a ranking knife, the price of this Soul Devourer would never be too low. And no matter how good a ranking knife is, it cannot be compared with life! If you buy it at a high price and can't use it, wouldn't it be a waste? After all, this is only a fourth-level auction, and the people who come to participate are not so wealthy, so many people are hesitant.

He Caitou sighed, shook his head and said, "We can't have this vicious knife. I've heard the teacher tell its story. The horror of the backlash of this vicious knife is definitely not as simple as the auctioneer said. This can be seen from the fact that its owner has never been spared. It's a ranking knife! If you buy it, can you really bear not to use it? If I remember correctly, the teacher said that this soul guide produced by the Soul Devourer will have at least two additional special effects, both of which are quite terrifying. What a pity."

No one would joke about their own life. After saying this to Cai Tou, Wang Yan couldn't help but reveal a bit of disappointment. He was ready to give up this vicious sword.

"The Soul Devouring Carving Knife, the starting price is 100,000 Gold Soul Coins, and each bid must be no less than 5,000 Gold Soul Coins. Dear guests, you may start bidding." Qingya said with a smile. In fact, she was not excited at all. With her nearly ten years of experience as an auctioneer, she could tell from the reactions below that this Soul Devouring Carving Knife was likely to fail to sell again.

In fact, after the Soul-Eating Ferocious Knife first came to the Starlight Auction House, it originally appeared at the top auction. The initial price was not one hundred thousand, but three hundred thousand gold soul coins. This carving knife was accidentally acquired by Starlight Auction House. No matter how you say it, it’s a list!
But who knew that its reputation was so fierce that none of the high-ranking VIPs wanted to own it, not even as a collection. Who would dare to risk having an evil soul master around to collect it?

The history of the Soul Devouring Blade can be described as brutal. Including the owner who created it, no one has ever lived for more than ten years after obtaining it. Therefore, although it has a history of more than three thousand years, it has been sealed for most of the time.

The owner of the Starlight Auction House had no choice but to let it appear frequently at auctions, and promised the auctioneers that whoever could sell the Soul Devouring Knife would get 1% of the total amount as a commission. However, things did not go as planned. The Soul Devouring Knife went through more than a dozen auctions, but the final results were not satisfactory. This also caused the starting price to drop again and again, and it was almost close to the cost price when the Starlight Auction House bought it.

Let it be unsold. Qingya didn't have high hopes for this carving knife.

At this moment, suddenly, a voice sounded from the audience, "One hundred thousand gold soul coins."

A sign was suddenly raised, with 11 written on it.

Qingya was stunned for a moment, this was the first time someone bid for the Soul Devouring Knife after it appeared in the Starlight Auction!After a brief surprise, she was filled with surprises.You know, a % commission is gold soul coins!Even if it is squandering flowers, it is enough to spend a few years.She usually hosts an auction and can get dozens to a hundred gold soul coins, which is pretty good.After all, she is only a purple auctioneer.If you can auction the Soul Devouring Knife, you might be able to rise to the black level and preside over a higher level auction.

For a moment, Qingya was so surprised that she forgot to respond.

"I'll offer 100,000 gold soul coins." The voice sounded again.

"Ah! Okay, VIP No. 11 will bid 100,000 gold soul coins. Is there any other VIP who would like to bid?" Qingya finally came to her senses and quickly responded. Moreover, she immediately felt hopeful. With the first bidder, maybe there would be a second one? Even if it was only an increase of 5,000, her income would increase by 50 gold soul coins.
