Douluo: Traveling Through the Universe, Reversing Time and Space

Chapter 175: Conditions for obtaining the Snow Emperor embryo, auction

Emperor Xingluo, who was watching the match from the city wall, had already made up his mind countless times to win Shi Yu over to the royal family.
Every time I watch Shi Yu's matches, his opponent always surprises him.
With Shrek Academy defeating Di'ao Academy, they also secured the top spot in their group. In the round of 16, they will face the runner-up teams from other groups.
It is worth mentioning that the knockout stage is divided into the upper and lower halves, and they and Diao Academy will be assigned to two different halves.
This means they won't meet again in the next round until the final.
There are more matches in the next few days. Some groups will have one more team, which means there will be more matches, and there will also be playoffs.
This gave Shi Yu and the others several days of rest, which was exactly what they wanted.
Shi Yu hadn't gone out much in the past few days. He actually wanted to wander around Xingluo City, but considering that Xingluo City was crowded with people, there might be some people who wanted to harm him.
It was normal for him to attract jealousy and fear given his current talent. Some might even want to get rid of him.
For this reason, Master Xuan did not want Shi Yu to go out casually.
If you must go out, you must go with him and not go alone.
Shi Yu simply stayed in his room, either thinking about magic or practicing.
During this period, Princess Xu Jiujiu came several times to ask about Shi Yu's well-being and even invited him to stroll around the palace.
The palace is absolutely safe, so there is no need to worry about anyone attacking him.
Shi Yu agreed once, as he was indeed somewhat curious about the palace, so it didn't matter if he just took a look around.
I also took the opportunity to ask Xu Jiujiu about the soul beast embryo.
This soul beast embryo was clearly mentioned in the auction list Xu Jiujiu gave him.
This might not be on a regular list; the auction list he obtained was an internal one, and some items would not be easily released to the public.
Some information may be disclosed appropriately to attract bidders.
But he wouldn't explain it clearly, the list he got had a detailed introduction.
Xu Jiujiu replied with a hint of apology, saying that if he wanted the soul beast embryo, he couldn't give it to him.
They had other important uses for this soul beast embryo, and it was of great importance. They couldn't give it to him lightly unless he was willing to become a formal member of the Imperial Worship Hall.
Shi Yu was also somewhat surprised by what Xu Jiujiu had learned. It seemed that they valued him more than their goal of acquiring some high-end soul guides from the Sun-Moon Empire.
Shi Yu knew exactly why they were holding this soul beast embryo. It was to catch the big fish, Xiao Hongchen.
He wanted to obtain some high-end soul guides from the Sun Moon Empire through Xiao Hongchen.
The soul guides of the Sun Moon Empire are several levels ahead of the original Douluo Three Kingdoms.
The three original Douluo Kingdoms all wanted to obtain the soul guide technology from the Sun-Moon Empire, but the Sun-Moon Empire had strict control over soul guide technology and prohibited it from being passed on to the other three kingdoms.
They could only conduct research by dismantling the soul guides produced by the Sun-Moon Empire.
However, those high-end soul guides are difficult to obtain, which is why this plan came into being.
Shi Yu didn't agree directly, nor did he refuse, but just said that he needed to think about it.
This wasn't a perfunctory answer, but rather a sincere consideration of the matter.
To be honest, he really wanted to get the Snow Emperor embryo. They thought it was just an ordinary 100,000-year-old soul beast embryo, but they didn't know that it was the embryo of the strongest soul beast in the Far North, and its value was far more than just one or two hundred million gold soul coins.
If they knew, they probably wouldn't be willing to put the embryo up for auction.
But he was clear about it, and was particularly attracted to this embryo.
After obtaining it, you can choose to hatch it normally, giving the Snow Empress a new life. This will also allow the Snow Empress to do you a favor, and perhaps follow you like she did with Huo Yuhao, becoming a great help to you.
Or we can use the method figured out by the Xingluo Empire to deal with it.
That is to find a way to absorb the power of the embryo and transform it into another martial spirit of one's own.
If I succeed, I will have three martial souls, and my potential will be further enhanced.
Although the ultimate ice and snow attribute cannot be compared with time and space, it is still not bad and is definitely worth the risk to obtain.
In his heart, he actually leans more towards the latter. Instead of relying on others, it is better to improve himself.
Gaining the Snow Empress's friendship is not as powerful as gaining her power.
He was not very willing to become an official royal attendant of the Xingluo Empire.
If I agree, I will lose the respect of Shrek Academy, which may not be worth it.
After a few days of rest, the elimination rounds would begin. Shrek Academy's top sixteen opponents weren't very strong, of course, this was relatively speaking.
Its lineup configuration is three soul kings and four soul masters, so this strength is definitely not weak.
But facing Shrek Academy, it's still not good enough.
Ma Xiaotao's injuries had almost recovered, and with her in the fight, Yu didn't even have to exert much effort to win.
Shrek Academy successfully advanced to the quarterfinals.
The day after the match, the auction that Shi Yu had been looking forward to was held as scheduled.
Shi Yu, Zhang Lexuan, Ma Xiaotao, Huo Yuhao and others all came to the auction house, accompanied by Master Xuan.
Shi Yu hadn't planned on bringing so many people with him. It was Elder Xuan who insisted on accompanying him, and he also wanted to let Ma Xiaotao, Huo Yuhao, and the others gain some experience, so he brought them along.
The auction house provided them with a VIP room, which contained a variety of fruits, drinks, and snacks, as well as dedicated service, something that ordinary people rarely enjoyed.
Those who can come to this auction are not ordinary people. They are treated as VIPs among VIPs.
They arrived here and soon the highest-level auction officially began.
The auctioneer was Xu Jiujiu, a princess of the royal family, which shows how high the standards of this auction were.
The first lot was valued at over a million, attracting a lot of competition.
Subsequent auction items are also of high value, with a guaranteed value exceeding one million.
Shi Yu was not very interested in these items until a soul bone was brought up.
This soul bone is the top-grade soul bone from the Ice Jade Scorpion.
It's over 60,000 years old, which is considered a relatively old soul bone. Coupled with its extreme ice properties and fixed ice explosion skills, it's definitely not an exaggeration to call it a top-grade soul bone.
Shi Yu subconsciously glanced at Huo Yuhao, who showed a look of longing. This soul bone was a perfect match for him.
"Should I buy this soul bone?" Shi Yu was also somewhat interested in this soul bone.
However, it is quite limited. If I can obtain the Snow Emperor embryo and transform it into a martial spirit, then this soul bone will be useful.
If he fails to do so, then this soul bone will be useless to him.
