Peerless: I Became Huo Yuhao's Dark Personality

Chapter 82 Huo Yumiao: Isn't it enough for me to become a Venerable? (Two in One)

"Five million gold soul coins!" This voice was naturally from Huo Yuhao. He raised the price by 500,000 gold soul coins, which seemed to show off his own momentum.

He didn't expect to intimidate other bidders. As he said, it would be difficult to shake a force that could easily come up with hundreds of millions of liquid funds by starting with the price.

After Huo Yuhao finished speaking, Qingya quickly took action. Of course, it was impossible to shout at the top of the lungs at such a top-level auction. Everything was handled by the waiters in each bidding room.

You just need to say the amount, and the waiter will enter it manually and deliver the quotation information in real time.

Of course, Huo Yuhao's behavior would undoubtedly attract the inquiring gazes of those around him. He looked at Wang Yan and said, "Teacher Wang, this is my personal behavior."

Once these words were spoken, there was no need for further explanation. After all, one could spend his money however he wanted. Wang Yan nodded, feeling somewhat shocked. He also knew Huo Yuhao's background, and he was not supposed to have such a large sum of money.

Given by the Soul Guidance Department? That shouldn't be the case. A personal act would have nothing to do with the Soul Guidance Department. Could it be that Fan Yu gave it to him? Wang Yan felt that this explanation was more reasonable. It made sense for a master to give money to his apprentice.

"Yuhao, how confident are you that you can absorb it? Even though you have spiritual attributes, it doesn't mean you can be compatible with them. The danger of the dark attribute is far greater than that of other attributes."

Xian Lin'er's tone was questioning. Although she believed that Huo Yumiao's presence would not allow Huo Yuhao to do anything too risky, it was still safer to ask just in case.

Taking risks is acceptable, but it must be based on the premise that the benefits outweigh the risks. At least Xian Lin'er believes that the value brought by Huo Yuhao absorbing this soul bone is not great enough.

The words "infinite growth potential" were just for fun. She had never seen a soul master who could increase the lifespan of an external soul bone to 100,000 years. Four and a half million was no problem as the starting price for this soul bone.

But if you really want to grow to 100,000 years, it is not very realistic. Most soul masters who absorb external soul bones can basically only be promoted to about 10,000 years. The biggest advantage is that it does not occupy the space of other parts.

Xian Lin'er estimated that the value of this evil eye bone was no more than eight million. The dual attributes of spirit and darkness were rare, but the rarity also exposed a problem: who could absorb it?

The Starlight Auction House certainly didn't exaggerate, but they certainly wouldn't talk about these potential problems. It depends on how long it takes for those who are controlled by their emotions to regain their sanity.

For a force with the capital to bid at such a price, it is easy to figure out these underlying issues, but whether they can look at them calmly is a question mark.

"Dean Xian, is there anything special about this dark attribute?"

Huo Yuhao was about to reply confidently after hearing the first half of the sentence, but Xian Lin'er clearly had more to say in the second half, so he had to be cautious.

Just because he likes to do high-risk, high-return things doesn't mean he wants to see Brother Miao do such things. As for the important people around him, Huo Yuhao only hopes that they can always remain safe.

"Most spirit bones don't require a spirit master's attributes, but precious spirit bones will definitely restrict the spirit master's attributes. The Evil Eye itself has an extremely strong bloodline. This external spirit bone comes from the Evil Eye. Even if the bloodline is not pure, it will definitely have certain attributes that the spirit master must have.

Often when the soul master's attributes are the same as those of the soul bone, there is basically no pain in absorption. However, this soul bone has dual attributes.

In other words, a soul master is only qualified to absorb if he possesses one of the attributes. In this case, he will encounter resistance from the other attribute. To put it bluntly, you need to endure the pain of absorbing the dark attribute.

The fire attribute represents the unstable energy in violence, while the metal attribute represents sharpness as another representative of violence, but these two attributes are not as good as the dark attribute in terms of their respective violence.

The reason is simple. The fury of fire and gold attributes are both tangible and can be truly felt.

The dark attribute is different; its fury is invisible. It won't give you an immediate feeling, but will slowly consume you bit by bit."

Xian Lin'er paused, as if thinking about how to express herself more clearly, and soon, an idea came to her mind.

"The fire attribute brings scorching heat, the metal attribute brings sharp wounds, and the darkness attribute is invisible and silent. It's like a blind person. The outside world is still bright, but they see only darkness.

Absorbing the dark attribute is like allowing the blind to find the right path on their own. The pain of the process is not as great as that of gold and fire, but the unknown is often more disturbing than the truth.

After hearing this, Huo Yuhao did want to give up, because he was not sure whether Brother Miao's martial soul had dark attributes.

But the next moment his eyes became firm. Huo Yumiao had also heard Xian Lin'er's words in his spiritual sea of ​​consciousness, and then he only replied with three words: Believe me.

"Dean Xian, I am sure." Huo Yuhao responded with a smile and told Xian Lin'er the real situation through mental sharing. Xian Lin'er knew about Huo Yumiao's existence, so there was no need to hide such things.

"So that's how it is." Xian Lin'er's expression froze, and she showed an expression of sudden enlightenment, but in the eyes of Wang Yan and others, this was a sign that Xian Lin'er believed that Huo Yuhao had the ability to absorb it.

During the time Xian Lin'er was explaining, the price of the soul bone had been hyped up to 6.21 million. The bidders did not increase the price by 500,000 like Huo Yuhao did, but increased it by 70,000 to 80,000.

"Six and a half million!"

Qingya operated on the light screen again. When Huo Yuhao called out the updated price again, the number on the light screen remained silent for more than twenty seconds before continuing to jump, 6.55 million.

"Six million and seven hundred thousand." Huo Yuhao continued without hesitation. This time, the amount remained silent for a longer time, more than half a minute.

In the end, Huo Yuhao won the Evil Eye Bone for 6.9 million. Obviously, the bidders who could afford it also figured out the equation between rarity and value, and gave up bidding.

"Congratulations to this distinguished guest for winning the Evil Eye Bone. The next item is..."

After Xu Jiujiu finished speaking, he began to introduce the next item. The next four items were two soul bones, a rare metal and an eighth-level soul guide.

Both soul bones come from six major parts. They can appear in top auction houses. They are over ten thousand years old at the beginning. They all come from extremely powerful races.

Three kilograms of rare metal were sold for 11.5 million, and one gram was worth nearly 4,000 gold soul coins. It is called amber soul crystal and is known as the special metal for ninth-level soul guides.

The reason for this is that amber soul crystals are used in almost every ninth-level soul guide. Amber soul crystals the size of a cherry can withstand the impact of super Douluo-level soul power, which has created its status.

The price of amber soul crystal in the market fluctuates between three thousand and thirty-five gold soul coins, but it has always been in a situation where there is a price but no demand, while the price in the black market exceeds six thousand gold soul coins per gram.

The most important thing is that Amber Soul Crystal is a unique mineral of the Sun-Moon Empire, and no Amber Soul Crystal veins have been found in Douluo Continent so far.

The Starlight Auction House is not auctioning the Amber Soul Crystal to maximize profits, because no one in Douluo Three Kingdoms can use such a top-level rare metal.

Amber soul crystals are incredibly dense, and even a tiny piece weighing three kilograms is enough to withstand the soul power of a Titled Douluo. In a world where only a few eighth-level soul masters exist, this is truly exceptional. That eighth-level soul tool is even more powerful, called the Creation Cannon, and its frontal impact is comparable to the full force of a Level 95 Super Douluo.

The reason it is classified as an eighth-level soul guide is that its material is slightly inferior and the charging time is too long, resulting in it only being able to be used once a day.

Even though there were many restrictions, it was still sold for 18 million in the end, more than twice the price of a normal eighth-level soul guide.

As the Earth-shattering Cannon was sold, the emotions of everyone in the auction hall became aroused, and they were all looking forward to what kind of treasure would be auctioned next.

The light screen showed a picture. It was a soul bone that was emerald green all over. Judging from its appearance, it was a left arm bone.

An emerald green halo circulated on the surface, with a faint white mist lingering around it. On the emerald green surface of the arm bone, there seemed to be tiny crystals, which were crystal clear and extremely beautiful.

Another soul bone? Everyone couldn't help but think in their hearts that according to the bidding order, the value of this soul bone was estimated to be close to 20 million, which was an extremely terrifying figure for a soul bone.

It is impossible for it to be more than 100,000 years old, but it must have been born from a soul beast with extremely powerful bloodline, and it is inevitable that it is more than 50,000 years old.

“Asshole!” An angry shout came from his spiritual sea of ​​consciousness. Huo Yuhao knew without a second thought that the cold female voice belonged to the Ice Emperor, and he quickly asked:

"What's wrong, Hyotei?"

"This soul bone was produced by the Ice Jade Scorpion, right?" Huo Yumiao said slowly. The Ice Emperor was stunned when he heard this, and the anger on his face paused for a moment.

"How do you know?" Bingdi was a little confused. She could see it because she herself was an Ice Jade Scorpion, and the strongest king among them. It was strange that Huo Yumiao, a human, could see it.

“Because a soul bone is angry, either you know its owner, or this soul bone belongs to your race.

The former is unlikely. It's easy to determine a species from a soul bone, but identifying the specific animal is probably difficult. Most importantly, if you can really confirm it through the soul bone and it knows you, it wouldn't be auctioned here."

Bingdi looked surprised. This analysis sounded simple, but how many people could think of it? She nodded in agreement, her tone calming down.

"This soul bone is indeed produced by our Ice Jade Scorpion clan."

Huo Yuhao listened to the whole story and understood the whole process, but he didn't know how to comfort her. From the perspective of human beings, he was not the one who was right.

"My people have always worked in groups. Hunting down an Ice Jade Scorpion that has cultivated for nearly 70,000 years is practically impossible. How on earth did they do it?"

Bingdi was puzzled, and so was Huo Yumiao. "Bingdi, how do you know the age of this soul bone?"

Although Xu Jiujiu has already started the introduction, he hasn't talked about the year yet.

"Do you see the white crystals on the surface of the soul bone? That is a symbol of cultivation. The more crystals there are, the older it is."

The Ice Emperor explained patiently, his expression still showing some confusion. A 70,000-year-old Ice Jade Scorpion, located in the Far North with its own environmental advantages, might not be easily dealt with by a Titled Douluo.

"It's most likely the soul guide's work. An Ice Jade Scorpion of this level of cultivation can roam freely in more than 80% of the Far North. Coupled with your reputation in the Far North, the risk factor is very low.

In this situation, it wouldn't be difficult for some high-level soul guides to achieve a long-range kill." Huo Yumiao said this, believing this possibility to be the most likely.

Soul guides, even a large part of humans do not realize how powerful they are, let alone soul beasts.

If Death Douluo activates the Light of Death, not to mention the 70,000-year-old Ice Jade Scorpion, even the Ice Emperor will have a hard time.

"Are soul guides so powerful?" Bingdi was shocked. Ever since she became Huo Yuhao's wisdom soul ring, although she knew the concept of soul guides, she had never seen a truly powerful soul guide, so she couldn't help but look down on it.

"Soul guides are not only powerful, but will also become the general trend. As soul guides continue to develop, the situation of soul beasts will only become more and more dangerous."

Huo Yumiao's tone left no room for doubt. Just ten thousand years had passed, and the Star Dou Great Forest had been enclosed. If it weren't for the emergence of artificial souls, soul masters would have been equipped with soul guides at will, coupled with battle armor, and this world's number one gathering place for soul beasts would have been destroyed within a hundred years.

"To solve this problem, we must either develop a drug that can quickly improve the cultivation of soul beasts and artificially raise soul beasts, or the soul beasts can spontaneously unite and bring some deep pain to soul masters."

"You mean to launch a beast tide? But humans' recovery ability is always faster than that of soul beasts. If this goes on for a long time, the soul beasts will not be able to bear it." Ice Emperor felt that the method Huo Yuhao proposed was not feasible.

"You've overlooked a fundamental issue. Soul beasts can't handle it, their soul rings are decreasing, and soul masters are even more overwhelmed. But if self-propelled soul guides come out, the extinction of soul beasts will only be a matter of time."

"Brother Miao, what is a self-propelled soul guide?" Huo Yuhao, who had remained silent all this time, suddenly asked.

"A soul guide device that doesn't require a soul master to drive it, relying on the metal itself or a combination of metals to provide energy. To put it bluntly, even ordinary people can directly use a high-level soul guide device."

"But this is killing the chicken to get the eggs. There is no reason for ordinary people who cannot become soul masters to hunt soul beasts, right?" Huo Yuhao did not say anything about how there could be such a soul guide device. The soul guide light screen in front of him was the best example.

Hearing Huo Yuhao's question, Huo Yumiao shook his head, "Hasn't the Soul Master done enough of killing the chicken to get the eggs?

Just like those soul hunting teams that specialize in hunting soul beasts and selling their leather and food ingredients, they can make money from this, and even if it affects them a hundred years later, it will not matter to them.

Not to mention ordinary people with limited income. With a soul guide, it is impossible not to be tempted by a way of making money with almost 100% return.

Just like the Xingdou Great Forest, its area has shrunk compared to ten thousand years ago. Although not much, it is an irreversible reduction, and as time goes on, the reduction will only increase.”

"So, the destruction of our soul beasts is not inevitable?" Bingdi said in disbelief.

"There are other ways."

"any solution?"

"Why not just kill the extra soul masters?"
