Douluo Continent: I, Huo Yuhao, am the Master of Spirit

Chapter 295 Violet and the Sky

Feng Jin seemed to have lost her soul, her green eyes fixed on the crown, and she involuntarily let go of Xia Die's arm.

Seeing Feng Jin's state, Xia Die was somewhat worried and gently shook her arm, saying:

"Feng Jin, what's wrong?"

Old Song also hurriedly came to Feng Jin's side and said:

"What happened?"

Sensing the unique fragrance of the butterflies, Feng Jin snapped out of her reverie and addressed the group:

"That piece of jewelry seems to be attracting me."

"My martial spirit craves that thing."

Old Song gently stroked Feng Jin's forehead, sensing her condition with his spiritual power. He frowned, looked at the small crown, and said to Qingya:

"Add 100,000 gold soul coins."

"We bid on this piece of jewelry."

As soon as Elder Song finished speaking, the amount on the screen immediately jumped to 200,000 gold soul coins. After waiting for a minute, no one chose to raise the price, and the auction was completed directly.

Tibo and the others also gathered around, looking at Feng Jin with concern and saying:
"Little Violet, are you alright?"

"Old Song, is there something wrong with that ornament?"

Old Song looked at them and shook his head, saying:

"I am not sure as well."

"But my spiritual power tells me that Xiaofengjin's bloodline is restless. There is usually only one situation that can cause this phenomenon, and that is bloodline replenishment."

"I'm afraid that crown is related to Feng Jin's ancestors."

Old Song offered a reluctant explanation, but in a sense, it was the truth.

Feng Jin, who inherited the bloodline of the Wind Dragon King, is indeed a descendant of the Wind Dragon King; it would be fair to say she is his ancestor.

Xia Die gently grasped Feng Jin's hand, soothing her restless heart as she said:

"Once Feng Jin gets that crown, we should be able to see the details."

Feng Jin perked up again and rubbed against Xia Die's arm, saying:

"Thank you, Butterfly."

"My martial spirit tells me that the ornament is important to me, but it's definitely not a bad thing!"

"It does seem to be something left behind by my ancestors!"

"Actually, I'm also very curious about what my ancestors were like, since I grew up in an orphanage from the moment I opened my eyes and have never seen my parents."

"I wonder what kind of people they will be."

After confirming that Feng Jin was alright, the others were relieved.

Beibei, Xu Sanshi, Bai E, Maidemos and others ran to the side and started arm wrestling.

Although the subsequent auction items were valuable, none of them particularly attracted their attention.

Wang Dong bought a ten-thousand-year-old soul bone with light attributes, while Huo Sui'er bought a spiritual herb to stabilize her bloodline. Her Gluttonous bloodline had just evolved, and this spiritual herb would be very useful to her.

Soon the fourteenth item appeared. It was a palm-sized, regular octagonal stone with a pattern of twin white tigers, one above the other, on it.

It was none other than the Tiger Talisman that Huo Yuhao had imagined.

Huo Yuhao could have given it directly to Xia Die, but then he thought that letting her experience the unique features of the fantasy world—an auction would be a good experience—so he simply used the auction to give it to Xia Die.

"Dear guests."

"This stone is called the Tiger Talisman. It is said to possess some kind of strange magic and is also an item from an ancient ruin."

"There are inscriptions behind the talisman that have no clear meaning. If someone can successfully decipher these inscriptions, they might be able to find the heritage of an ancient civilization."

"After careful consideration, the starting bid for this talisman is 300,000 gold soul coins."

Wang Dong, her face contorted with rage, arm-wrestled with Meddemos. She strained to break Meddemos's grip, then looked up at the talisman on it and casually remarked:
"The text is just one line. Even if it's deciphered, how much information could it contain?"

Medemos's golden eyes narrowed as he said:
"You dare to daydream?"

He suddenly pressed down hard with his palm, almost making Wang Dong burst into tears.

"Wang Dong! Keep it up! You're second in the second grade! Be spirited! Don't embarrass yourself!"

Xiao Xiao fanned the flames from the sidelines, and Wang Dong, wearing the Pain Mask, tried his best but couldn't reverse the tide. With a loud bang, the invincible Wang Dong collapsed.

Xiao Xiao quickly stuck the yellow-purple label that Bai E had prepared on Wang Dong's face.

"Hehe, it's my turn, it's my turn!"

"Heh heh, I'm going to beat you, Medmos!"

Xu Sanshi sat down in the chair with a smug look on his face and began the second round of the match with Medmos.

Xia Die watched from the side, feeling a little eager to try, when suddenly a familiar voice entered her ears.

"Butterfly, buy that Tiger Talisman."

"Brother Adam?"

Xia Die hurriedly tried to communicate with Adam in her mind, but Adam did not continue to reply to her, maintaining his aloof demeanor.

After failing to get an answer from Adam, Xia Die looked at the strange octagonal symbol on the screen, but did not feel the same bloodline attraction as Feng Jin.

However, trusting her brother Adam, she tiptoed to Aglaia's side, rubbing her fingers together in front of her lower abdomen, and said somewhat shyly:

"Teacher Aglaia, I might need that talisman, could you...?"

Aglaia smiled gently and said:

"Butterfly, there's no need for that."

"Just say it directly. This is a benefit provided by the academy. Anyone can buy the items they want."

"Auctioneer Qingya, add 100,000 gold soul coins to Auction Hall Seven." Upon hearing this, Qingya immediately manipulated the screen and completed the bidding.

The number at the top, which had been illusory, gradually solidified over time. A minute later, no one chose to raise the bid, and Xia Die easily obtained the Tiger Talisman.

The next two auction items were a level nine defensive soul tool from Xilu City and a top-grade ten-thousand-year-old external soul bone that the Star Luo Empire had somehow acquired, likely taken from the national treasury to bolster the auction.

Bei Bei bought the ten-thousand-year-old external soul bone because it was lightning-attribute, which suited him very well.

As for the level nine soul tools, it's unknown who they ended up in. Most likely, they're in the hands of the Star Luo Empire. Although they've benefited somewhat from the soul tool revolution, their main focus is still on the Tian Dou Plain, where they still can't independently produce level nine soul tools.

After the auction, Xu Jiawei personally carried the items through a secret passage to Auction Hall No. 7 and handed over the map, crown, talisman, soul bone and other items to the members of the main team and reserve team.

He carefully examined the seven members of the Shrek Academy's main team, lingering on Wang Dong's face for a long time, as if recalling some of his highlights.

I thought for a long time but couldn't remember what his strength was. I only knew that his martial soul seemed to be related to the light attribute.

However, since he was able to enter the main team, he must have some unique skills, perhaps twin martial souls.

Xu Jiawei still made sure to remember her, and after processing the record, he would send someone to investigate her background.

This year's Shrek regular season team deserves all the effort he's put into it.

…………

"So what exactly is this?"

After the auction, Old Song distributed all the items to the people and let them handle them as they saw fit.

Bai Er excitedly ran to Medemos's room, carrying a large number of books, determined to unravel the secrets hidden in the map.

After Feng Jin received the crown, her bloodline was indeed in a state of excitement, but there were no other special phenomena.

She lay in bed, holding the rusty crown in front of her, looking at it from left to right but unable to make a dent in it.

"Are you truly a descendant of my ancestors?"

"I remember reading in Butterfly's novel that this kind of secret treasure requires a blood oath to become its owner, right?"

Without hesitation, Feng Jin straightened up and gently used wind element to condense a small needle, piercing her fingertip and dripping it onto the Crown of Wind.

Believe it or not, she actually found the right method. In a world like Douluo Continent where bloodlines are intertwined, blood oath is indeed the most effective method.

The Crown of Wind immediately burst forth with a deep green light, breaking through the materialization of Huo Yuhao's spiritual energy left on it, revealing its original form.

It was a small crown that resembled glass, with countless flowing winds swirling within it.

All the world's celestial phenomena are contained within it; tornadoes, storms, blizzards, thunderstorms, and so on all appear within the crown, as if a world is hidden inside.

Before Feng Jin could even appreciate its magnificence, the crown shot straight into her brow, revealing a shimmering, rainbow-colored eye of the sky pattern on her forehead.

Her body suddenly trembled, her eyes closed uncontrollably, and she fell asleep on the soft bed.

In her dream, she felt enveloped by the sky, with clouds massaging her, the blazing sun and bright moon surrounding her, and countless flowing winds transforming into her carriage, taking her on a tour of the world.

“My child…”

Whispers echoed in Feng Jin's ears, the voices carrying both sorrow and joy. In the room outside, a green phantom appeared beside Feng Jin's bed.

If the Water Dragon King were here, he would surely recognize the other party's identity as the remnant divine consciousness left in the crown by the Wind Dragon King.

The phantom cautiously extended its finger, and then a rainbow light burst forth from Feng Jin's body, and a miniature version of the Wind God Horse appeared above her, its forehead touching the phantom's finger.

In an instant, a large cocoon shimmering with rainbow light enveloped her entire body, as if some kind of transformation was taking place.

"Beep~ Beep~ Beep!"

The adorable cries of an unknown life form emanated from the cocoon, faint yet clear.

Zooming out, a man in black robes stands on the rooftop, quietly watching the rainbow light flash past the window below.

Her orange-pink hair swayed in the wind.

"What a troublesome student."

"Although the blood oath is effective, the crown will react very violently, and there may even be fluctuations in divine power. I'll help you conceal it."

"But why is the rule 'sky'?"

"Shouldn't it be the wind?"

"Because the sky is the essence of the wind violet, Roman."

"The universe acknowledged her, just as it acknowledged Tibbo and Byrne."

Huo Yuhao appeared behind Roman. Roman took off his hood, smiled, and said:
"I knew you were coming."

"I've been waiting for you for a long time. Here, I bought you Xingluo City's specialty ginger cola. Try it."

Huo Yuhao took the cola, took a sip, and immediately looked uncomfortable.

"Who invented this?!"

"I'm going to hang him on a cross and roast him!"

"It's no less than putting pineapple on a pizza, filling dumplings with chocolate, or putting sugar in tofu pudding!"

Roman also took out a bottle, took a sip, and said:
"Not bad?"

"It's quite refreshing, don't you like it?"

After enjoying the cool night breeze for a while, Roman asked hesitantly:

What does it mean for the universe to acknowledge her?

Huo Yuhao sat on the edge of the rooftop, his dark eyes reflecting the lights of Star Luo City, and quietly said:

"This universe is conscious; it is everywhere, yet it is nowhere."

"The spiritual authority and the person above all things compel Him to acknowledge them, and the universe will lead them toward the evolution of reality."

Even if different flowers bloom on the same plant, their root systems are still one.

"The sky is her essence."
