Douluo: The Peerless King Dong'er's Restarted Life

Chapter 172 Ice Jade Scorpion Soul Bone Ice Explosion Technique

Wang Yan walked up to He Caitou and asked in a low voice, "Caitou, what is the research value of these shells?"

He Caitou said excitedly, "Teacher Wang, we must buy these soul-guided shells! The main research direction of our soul guidance department is fixed-position soul guidance devices. With these shells, we can research higher-level fixed-position soul guidance shells. Even other fixed-position soul guidance devices can be studied by analogy."

Seeing that Shrek Academy was considering bidding on the project, Qingya reminded them, "Teacher Wang, if you want to study these fixed-position soul-guided cannonballs, you must be careful of the encryption array that Mingde Hall has set up on them, otherwise it may cause the cannonballs to explode."

Wang Yan nodded and waited for a long time before the bidding began.

As expected, the starting bid for this set of fixed-position soul-guided cannon shells was 50,000 gold soul coins higher than the previous Tyrant Tiger Soul Refining Blade.

However, compared to the more versatile Overlord Tiger Soul Refining Blade, few people were willing to pay for this set of fixed-mount soul-guided cannon shells.

In the end, Wang Yan won the bid by paying an additional 5,000 gold soul coins, defeating another VIP who had bid at the reserve price.

Each subsequent item in the auction had a starting price higher than the last, and even with Shrek Academy backing him up, Wang Yan didn't dare to spend money recklessly.

During the auction, Wang Dong'er had already looked at all the private rooms.

She wasn't surprised that the emperor, Xu Jiawei, was in the first private room, while the people in the second private room were from the Sun Moon Royal Soul Master Academy.

There were only two people in the third private room.

One was small in stature but had an unusually large head, while the other was tall but had a right arm twice as thick as his left arm; both looked quite strange.

This must be someone from the Body Sect.

Xuanzi wasn't seen following, so he probably went to the rooftop of the Xinghuang Hotel to drink and eat meat again.

Ever since Xuanzi secretly ran back, Wang Dong'er could sense Xuanzi eating and drinking on the rooftop every day. He seemed to be enjoying himself and didn't seem depressed at all.

As for being discovered by him, that has never happened.

Perhaps it was because Wang Dong'er's wide-area detection was obscured by the power of fate that even a super Douluo of Xuanzi's level couldn't sense it.

After withdrawing her mental energy from the wide-area probe, Wang Dong'er reopened her eyes.

Xu Jiujiu's figure reappeared on the Soul Guidance Screen.

"The next two lots are the highlights of this top-tier auction."

Two items for auction? Wang Dong'er was stunned. There should only be one Ice Jade Scorpion Soul Bone left, right? The Snow Emperor is now in her spiritual sea, how could there still be a Conferred God Platform... No, that's not really certain.

But what might be sealed within this Conferred God Platform?

Thanks to the investment that finally bought Jiang Nannan a soul tool, Wang Dong'er's mission of "accumulating interest on kindness" was finally completed.

This time, the system gave three rewards at once, probably because the rewards varied depending on the type of investor.

The first investor, Huo Yuhao, received a level six invincible shield; the second investor, Tang Ya, received the Tang Sect's hidden weapon, Rain of Pear Blossom Needles; and the last investor, Jiang Nannan, was very realistic, receiving 50 million gold soul coins.

The Level 6 Invincible Shield can defend against the attacks of an ordinary Title Douluo for three seconds. The Rain of Pear Blossom Needles can break through the protective soul power of a Title Douluo, and it is even possible to kill him if he is careless. Fifty million gold soul coins is just too much money.

It can be said that these three items are all very useful. "Next, the eighth item, please don't blink, esteemed guests. This is a rare and excellent item, and I believe you will all be interested in it. Please take a look."

As the long-winded words faded, a magnified soul bone appeared on the soul guide screen.

This soul bone resembles a left arm bone, with a flowing emerald green halo around it, as if emerald green liquid is flowing within it, and wisps of white mist are rising from the soul bone.

There were other soul bones among the previous auction items, but compared to this soul bone, they were worlds apart.

Huo Yuhao's expression suddenly changed, and he turned to look at Wang Dong'er.

At the same time, within Wang Dong'er's spiritual sea, Hyotei almost couldn't suppress the urge to reveal himself.

After a long pause, the voice rang out again: "Distinguished guests should know that the most precious things for a Soul Master are a 100,000-year Soul Ring and a Soul Bone. But whoever encounters these two items will probably use them to enhance their strength."

"Therefore, for all the major auction houses, the soul bone we are auctioning today is the most top-tier soul bone!"

"In fact, when our auction house first acquired it, our first choice was to keep it as a treasure rather than put it up for auction, because it is so precious and rare."

"Most soul bones do not require specific attributes, and the soul skills attached to them will vary depending on the soul master's martial soul. Even 100,000-year soul bones follow this rule."

"But in addition to these mainstream soul bones, there are some special soul bones. When they are fused, there is a requirement that the soul master and the soul bone must have the same attributes. Otherwise, they will not be able to fuse and may even endanger their lives."

"And this soul bone is just like that. Its first requirement is that only ice-attribute soul masters can absorb it."

"In addition, after our Starlight Auction House invited many experts to conduct tests, it was discovered that this soul bone has only one fixed soul skill. In other words, no matter what kind of soul master absorbs it, they will obtain the same soul skill."

"The last requirement is its age. This soul bone is probably between 50,000 and 70,000 years old. If you don't have enough physical strength or high cultivation, blindly absorbing this soul bone might cause it to explode from the energy within."

Although Xu Jiujiu used a humorous tone to explain the requirements of this soul bone in a way that seemed like a flaw, everyone present understood her words perfectly.

This is clearly an advantage.

However, if these things can be described as flaws by this long-time auctioneer, then what are the real "advantages"?

Everyone's anticipation had been building for a long time.

"Next, in my capacity as the chief auctioneer of Starlight Auction House and a princess of the Star Luo Empire, I would like to make the most sincere guarantee to all distinguished guests that everything I am about to say is absolutely true and without the slightest falsehood."

"The rarity of this soul bone is comparable to that of a 100,000-year-old soul bone!"

"Distinguished guests must be very curious about what kind of soul beast this is. Now, let Jiu Jiu reveal the answer: it comes from the far north, one of the forbidden zones for humans, and from the super soul beast race in its core circle—the Ice Jade Scorpion!"

"Distinguished guests, you must have heard about the ranking of the Ten Ferocious Beasts. The seventh-ranked Ice Jade Emperor Scorpion is none other than the Ice Jade Scorpion King, the patriarch of the Ice Jade Scorpion clan. Among all ice-attribute soul beasts, the Ice Jade Scorpion King is the undisputed king."

"I don't think I need to elaborate on how difficult it is to obtain this soul bone. In the realm of ice, it may not be as good as the Ice Jade Scorpion King's ice attribute, but among us human ice attribute soul masters, it will definitely provide a tremendous boost!"

"In addition, the Ice Jade Scorpion clan also possesses extremely strong strength attributes. After absorbing this left arm bone, the Soul Master's left arm strength will be greatly enhanced. As to how much it will be enhanced, only the VIP who obtains it can test it themselves."

"Finally, please allow Jiu Jiu to formally reveal to all the distinguished guests what kind of soul skill this solidified soul bone possesses. Its name is: Ice Explosion!"
