Douluo Continent: It Became Huo Yuhao's Golden Finger!

Chapter 168 The Path of Spirit Fighting Has Narrowed! Ice Explosion! [Bonus Chapter - First Fan's Choice: "The Aggrieved Dream Captor"]

Huo Yuhao guessed Zhuge Lan's plan and was very hesitant.

Because if we continue down this road, many people may die.

He didn't want it to be like that.

[Zhuge Lan: If you want to gain enough luck to become a god, resurrect your mother, and defeat that scoundrel, this is the only way.]

Huo Yuhao fell silent.

[Zhuge Lan: And it's also a good thing for this continent.]

Huo Yuhao sighed.

[Huo Yuhao: I understand. I will try my best!]

[Zhuge Lan: You have five more years to grow, after which you'll have to stand on your own.]

[Huo Yuhao: Yes! Brother Lan!]

Cut open the spiritual transmission.

Huo Yuhao looked at Tianyang and said politely with a smile, "Your Majesty Tianyang, Brother Lan has entrusted this matter entirely to me. Please feel free to speak to me directly."

Tianyang re-examined Huo Yuhao.

Who would have thought that this little guy would have such a deep trust from that demigod?
It seems the intelligence gathered was true; the Holy Fire Cult was merely created casually for this little guy by that demigod.

Think of this.

Tianyang said with a touch of enthusiasm, "This matter is of great importance. Why don't we move to the conference room to discuss it?"

"If Taotie Douluo doesn't trust me, he can come along."

Xuanzi chuckled and shook his wine gourd.

"I doubt an old man like you would dare to have any bad intentions."

"I'm going to drink and eat meat, I don't have time to disgust you."

They just slipped away and left.

Huo Yuhao's lips twitched slightly. You're really leaving?
He hadn't thought much of it at first, but Xuanzi's actions made him feel that something was bound to happen.

Tianyang noticed Huo Yuhao's hesitation and waved to the Shrek Academy players' rest area.

Gongyang Mo ran over.

"Your Majesty, did you call me?"

"Little Ram, we owe you a lot for your intelligence this time." Tianyang said kindly, "You're Yuhao's classmate, so come along. It'll be good to have someone to look after you."

Gongyang Mo's expression faltered for a moment, then his eyes twitched as if he had just realized something.

“When His Majesty Tianyang speaks, this humble servant dares not disobey.”

After agreeing.

Gongyang Mo leaned closer to Huo Yuhao and whispered—

"I'm sorry, Yuhao. I was just relaying the Holy Fire Cult's public information back to the clan. My intention was to send more geniuses from the clan here."

"Let's also increase the reserves of our Holy Fire Cult."

"I never expected this to happen."

Huo Yuhao raised his hand to stop him, indicating his understanding.

The Holy Fire Cult was loosely managed and was initially introduced to gather fortune points.

A lot of information can be found on Shrek.

It can only be said that the Douling Empire has a good intelligence network, which is why they were able to capture them.

If it weren't for the sudden emergence of the Ice God Temple, the Light God Temple, and the Spirit Transmission Tower, perhaps the Douling Empire could have seized this opportunity and been the first to board Huo Yuhao's ship.

unfortunately
As a level 97 Super Douluo, Tianyang is of the same generation as his teacher, Xuanzi.

At this moment, however, she was willing to lead the way for Huo Yuhao, and the location was the Star Emperor Hotel.

It can be said that they are full of sincerity.

"Little Ram, wait a moment at the door," Tianyang said.

"Yes, Your Majesty Tianyang."

Gongyang Mo honestly guarded the gate and once again gave Huo Yuhao an apologetic look.

Huo Yuhao smiled and walked into the conference room.

“I’m a bit older, so I’ll call you Yuhao,” Tianyang said with a friendly smile. “You can call me Uncle Tianyang or Grandpa Tianyang, it’s fine.”

“Okay, Uncle Tianyang,” Huo Yuhao said frankly.

"To remain so calm, you truly deserve to be called a prodigy," Tianyang praised.

He thought Huo Yuhao was just bold.

Actually, it's fully equipped with cheat codes, so it's not afraid of Tianyang messing with Yin at all. At worst, it can just exchange its consciousness with the Ice God.

Having a solid foundation naturally gives you confidence.

"I won't bother with formalities. I have something important to do later. Why don't you just tell me why you've come?" Huo Yuhao said bluntly.

Tianyang really didn't expect this young man to be so bold.

He abandoned his dismissive thoughts and instead sighed.

“Yuhao, our Douling Empire is the smallest of the four great empires in terms of territory, national strength, and military strength.”

"Now the Temple of Light is in Sun and Moon, the Temple of Ice is in Heavenly Soul, and the Spirit Pagoda will likely cooperate closely with Star Luo as well."

"Our Douling Empire cannot compete with them, so we would like to invite your teacher, the demigod, to become the national advisor of the Douling Empire."

"Could you please convey this message?"

Huo Yuhao shook his head without hesitation.

"My teacher was indifferent to fame and fortune, and was extremely wealthy. The Soul Pill was just a small part of the recipe that he revealed."

"Therefore, it is absolutely impossible to make him the Imperial Advisor."

Tianyang's expression did not change much.

This was expected, after all, that was a demigod!

It exists only in historical records; no one has ever actually seen it in the past ten thousand years.

no way.

We can only settle for the next best thing.

"Then, Yuhao, does your Holy Fire Sect intend to establish a presence in the Douling Empire?"

"Our Douling Empire allows you to recruit followers at will, and also provides special privileges such as exemption from corvée labor, taxation, and formalities."

"I only ask that you lend a helping hand when the Douling Empire is in danger."

That's a very artful way of saying it.

It appears to be an invitation.

In reality, it's about "paying protection money regularly." When they're bullied, they ask Huo Yuhao to bail out their demigod teacher.

It has absolutely nothing to do with the national religion.

This is trying to achieve great things with little money; they've taken a wrong turn.

Are you still trying to fool him like a child?

Since Huo Yuhao isn't in a hurry, let's just delay it.

I will consider this matter.

"Uncle Tianyang, you can also think about whether there are other ways to cooperate."

"If there's nothing else, I'll take my leave now. I have something very important to do tonight."

With a polite but slightly awkward smile, Huo Yuhao left the meeting room.

He patted Gongyang Mo on the shoulder.

"Your Majesty Tianyang must have something to ask you, so I'll take my leave now."

"Yuhao."

"No need to say more, this is a good thing, let's go."

Huo Yuhao took to the air and flew away.

Gongyang Mo's eyes were filled with complex emotions. He sighed, turned around, and pushed open the door to go inside.

Huo Yuhao left the Star Emperor Hotel, circled around, then returned to his bedroom and sat cross-legged to cultivate.

Not a moment later.

Wang Dong'er pushed the door open and came in, with an expression that said, "I knew it."

But he laughed again very quickly.

Huo Yuhao is such a cultivation fanatic, yet he's willing to go shopping and have fun with her. Doesn't that prove he truly loves her?

She naturally climbed onto the bed and hugged Huo Yuhao from behind. Soul power surged and merged at the point of contact, and the power of Haodong circulated.

I continued practicing like this until evening, and according to the usual pace, I was only just getting into the zone.

Huo Yuhao trembled slightly and actually stopped cultivating on his own initiative.

This greatly surprised Wang Dong'er.

"What are you"

"Brother Lan told me I had to go; it's related to the Divine Exam," Huo Yuhao explained with a shrug.

"A divine test?" Wang Dong'er grabbed Huo Yuhao's hand: "Then what are we waiting for! Let's go!"

Wang Dong'er rushed out of the room, but then stopped in her tracks.

She looked at Huo Yuhao awkwardly.

"Where to go?"

Huo Yuhao raised his hand and gently pinched Wang Dong'er's nose.

"I didn't know where to go, so I was in a real hurry."

"That's why I wouldn't think of you as a girl!" "Come with me, Brother Lan sent me his location."

—The so-called positioning is to actively emit mental fluctuations, which can be vaguely sensed even if they are outside the range of perception.

Huo Yuhao flew with Wang Dong'er, completely unaware of the thoughtful look in her eyes.

He does not mean that.

Perhaps she can no longer interact with him in the same way as before, and needs to be more "girlish" to distinguish between Wang Dong'er and Wang Dong?

Thinking room.

The two headed straight for the center of the city and arrived at a pointed-roof building with a huge plaque hanging on it. There was a hammer on the top and a golden tabletop pattern below.

"An auction house?" Wang Dong'er asked in surprise, "Would they have divine exam content here?"

"I'm not really sure either. Brother Lan has always been very secretive, and he would never tell me even if I asked. So I stopped asking after a while," Huo Yuhao said habitually.

Wang Dong'er clicked her tongue.

Someone as curious as her wouldn't be able to stand it at all!
Entering the auction hall.

A red carpet extends down a five-meter-wide staircase, and it takes twenty meters to reach the registration point.

Wang Yan was waiting there, and immediately went up to Huo Yuhao and the other person when he saw them.

"If you don't come soon, I'm going to come looking for you."

"Let's go!"

"There's one item in today's auction that's absolutely perfect for you!"

Wang Yan handed the two a number plate, and only under the guidance of the girl in the red dress could they move around inside the auction house.

Passing through an old-fashioned wooden door, the view suddenly opened up before me.

The passage is over ten meters wide, with ivory-white jade bricks on the ground and pure gold walls carved with ornate patterns, the fineness of which is comparable to a first-level soul guidance array.

Everywhere you look, you see one word – expensive!

Wang Yan said in a low voice—

"Don't be fooled by its unassuming appearance; this is the largest auction house in Star Luo City—the Starlight Grand Auction House!"

"I don't know how Brother Lan got a spot. Everyone except Gongyang Mo came to broaden their horizons."

"By the way, what happened to Gongyang Mo? He's been missing since he left this morning."

Huo Yuhao told Wang Yan not to worry and didn't say anything more.

Wang Yan didn't ask any further questions.

He was just giving a normal report, and that was enough for Huo Yuhao to know.

Upon entering Auction Hall Number One, the light dimmed immediately, and a beautiful golden mask lay on the floor, belonging to a girl in a red dress.

"Sir, please put on your mask, and someone else will take you to the private room."

No need to ask, they're just hiding their identities.

The three put on masks, stepped through the door, and announced that they were in VIP room number 1. The new girl in the red dress led the way.

Upon entering the private room.

But they found that only Zhuge Lan was there.

“We’re all next door,” Wang Yan whispered. “Today’s auction item is an Ice Jade Scorpion Soul Bone. Its Soul Bone Skill is Ice Explosion, which is more powerful than the Corpse Explosion from the other day. Keep an eye on it.”

Huo Yuhao's pupils contracted!
If it weren't for his vigilance towards Xuanzi that day, and his extraordinary insight through mental power, which allowed him to react in time, he would have been in serious trouble.

At least half of the members need to lie down.

The target of Corpse Explosion is a corpse, so ice is easier to obtain.
He himself possessed an ultimate ice domain, capable of freezing a kilometer in an instant, followed by an ice explosion.
"hiss--"

I can't even imagine how exciting it will be!
"Yuhao?"

Wang Dong'er woke him up, but Wang Yan had already left.

"It's nothing, just a pleasant surprise." Huo Yuhao said as he walked into the private room, pulling Wang Dong'er inside as well.

"You're really too surprised; you've forgotten that you've already fully equipped your soul bone," Zhuge Lan said slowly.

Huo Yuhao opened his mouth in a daze.

what? !

Such an awesome soul bone skill, if we can't get it...
Wait!

Huo Yuhao glanced at Zhuge Lan with a resentful look.

"Brother Lan, are you teasing me on purpose?"

"My external soul bone isn't full yet!"

Zhuge Lan chuckled softly, "You're quick-witted."

With tens of millions of luck points in hand, a mere soul bone is nothing more than a thought away; transforming it into an external soul bone is just a matter of a thought.

"Hyotei's soul bone is his right leg, so let's make it his right foot."

"Okay, I'll do whatever Brother Lan says!" Huo Yuhao said excitedly.

Wang Dong'er was completely confused.

Are you even speaking human language?
How come I can understand it when it's broken down, but it's so inhuman when it's put together?
"Tuk-tuk-tuk-"

There was a knock on the door.

Huo Yuhao glanced at Zhuge Lan, who was yawning, and called out, "Come in."

The wooden door to VIP room number 1 was slowly pushed open, and three women entered side by side.

Leading the group was a voluptuous woman in a purple dress. As she walked, the dress, which fit her body perfectly, revealed glimpses of her skin, causing the young virgin Huo Yuhao to avert his gaze as if struck by lightning.

The small hand around her waist then withdrew.

The two women in golden robes behind them were also top-tier, but ultimately slightly inferior.

The woman in the purple dress said softly—

"Greetings to our distinguished guests."

"I am Qingya, a purple-level auctioneer from Starlight Auction House. Today, I will be serving three people in this auction."

"Next, please allow me to explain the auction rules to our distinguished guests."

A woman in a golden robe walked to the wall behind him, gently pressed it, and the wall flashed with light, transforming into a giant screen.

Light guide screen.

Qingya introduced—

"To ensure the well-being of all the distinguished guests participating in this top-tier auction, we have set up exclusive rooms for each of them."

"Bidding and viewing of the auction items will all take place in this room, ensuring absolute security and confidentiality."

"And I am specifically responsible for explaining the auction items in detail to all the distinguished guests."

"These two waitresses are in charge of setting prices. The three of you who want to bid only need to state your price, and the final settlement will be made together."

"Princess Jiu Jiu has instructed that no matter how much is bid today, the three distinguished guests will receive a 10% discount."

Zhuge Lan finally opened her eyes, having been observing Qingya out of the corner of her eye, and immediately lowered her gaze towards him.

They adopted a submissive posture, ready to obey orders.

"Are you sure you want a 10% discount?" Zhuge Lan teased. "This time I'm demanding that the top-tier auction start early. I'm determined to get those final and grand finale items. A 10% discount would be tens of millions of gold soul coins."

Qingya maintained her smile for a second, then seemed to pause for a moment.

Then he affirmed, "Princess Jiu Jiu is personally presiding over the auction today, so I believe the Xingluo royal family can keep its promises."

well.

Since someone's willing to be a sucker and offer sugar coating, I might as well eat it.

He closed his eyes again, but in reality, the system returned to Huo Yuhao's mental world.

"Elder Yi, everyone, how about we make a bet?"

Apart from Tianmeng Ice Silkworm, everyone else was warily watching Zhuge Lan.

"Don't worry, I'll be participating today too." Zhuge Lan said with a smile, "Let's bet on who can resist the urge to bid on an item first. Don't bet on yourself, okay?"

This matter...
The many spirits and Elder Yi exchanged a glance and shook their heads in unison.

"No gambling!"

Okay.

This person is traumatized by being scammed.

"Hey! Bingbing, wanna play together?" Tianmeng Bingcan said shamelessly, "At worst, you can choose three—no! Five! I'll only choose one."

"Snapped!"

The world was quiet for a second.

Tianmeng Ice Silkworm made a comeback, but under the Ice Emperor's sharp gaze, it compromised and gave up the bet.

Zhuge Lan shook her head regretfully, her gaze unconsciously drifting towards Electrolux.

Electrolux seemed lost in thought.

He remembered that Zhuge Lan had mentioned it.
"Swish—"

The light guide screen glows with a soft golden light.

Qingya reminded them, "Distinguished guests, the auction is about to begin."

The golden light on the light guide screen receded.

Standing there was a girl in a red dress, who looked no more than seventeen or eighteen years old. She looked somewhat similar to Jiang Nannan, but her figure was more developed.

"Good morning, distinguished guests. I am your auctioneer for today, Jiu Jiu."

"Distinguished guests, your time is precious, so our auction will now begin."

"Now, esteemed guests, please appreciate today's first lot—"

She smiled sweetly after a long while and gracefully gestured for him to enter.

The screen image shifted—
