In Douluo Continent, what is a martial soul? It's like Luckin Coffee.

Chapter 279 Would you believe me if I said I accidentally slipped?
While Bai Ran was still struggling to figure out the identity of the mysterious woman.

Meanwhile, the auction for the 100,000-year-old soul beast embryo has become exceptionally heated.

Especially the effect that gives you a chance to obtain a second martial soul.

People who originally didn't plan to participate in the auction started to have second thoughts.

Even Xuanzi from Shrek Academy has begun to consider whether or not to take action to steal it.

Among the many guests participating in the auction, Shrek Academy, while not exactly poor, was not particularly wealthy either.

Compared to Elder Xuan, the youngsters of Shrek Academy had almost no interest in the 100,000-year-old soul beast embryo.

Especially Huo Yuhao, Wang Dong, and Xiao Xiao.

They all have a second martial soul, and Wang Dong even has a hidden third martial soul.

Therefore, the possibility of obtaining a second martial soul held no appeal for the three of them.

……

Inside a room at the Royal Academy of the Sun and Moon.

Even through a soul guide screen, Xiao Bing still felt a sense of familiarity from that 100,000-year-old soul beast embryo.

Could it be a 100,000-year-old soul beast from the far north?
"Little sister, your brother will soon be someone with a second martial soul."

Xiao Hongchen looked at the 100,000-year-old soul beast embryo in the soul guidance screen and revealed a look of determination.

"It's just your second martial soul, why are you so smug?"

Seeing her brother's smug expression, Meng Hongchen said: I don't even want to talk to you.

Although she didn't want to admit it, her talent was indeed somewhat inferior to her brother's.

Moreover, the grandfather clearly valued his older brother much more than his granddaughter.

After all, in his grandfather's eyes, his older brother was practically being groomed as the family heir.

Therefore, any good things will most likely end up in the older brother's hands.

……

"One hundred and fifty million."

Xiao Hongchen's bid shocked everyone present at the auction.

This surprised even his teammates in the same room.

However, Xiao Hongchen was spending his own money, not the academy's funds.

Therefore, even if Ma Rulong, as the team leader, had a lot of complaints, he could only endure them.

Just when everyone thought it would be at this price.

160 million.

The same price was being quoted from the same room.

This time, however, the price was quoted by Meng Hongchen.

There was an uproar.

what's the situation?
Why are people in the same room bidding against each other?

Is this a conflict?
Logically speaking, this should be considered an auction accident, but after learning that the guest who bid for the room was from the Sun and Moon Royal Academy.

Emperor Xu Jiawei, who had already arrived at the auction, hurriedly ordered: "The auction shall continue."

It was indeed the fault of their Star Luo Empire that they accidentally caused this blunder.

However, if the target is someone from the Sun Moon Empire, then it can only be described as normal operation.

People of the Sun and Moon Empire: Do you think we're easy targets?
Xu Jiawei: You answered correctly, but there was no reward.

……

inside the room.

Looking at the younger sister who made the offer.

The smile on Xiao Hongchen's face suddenly came to an abrupt end.

Upon seeing that the person making the offer was Meng Hongchen, Ma Rulong instantly switched to sycophantic mode and even asked with concern: Does Junior Sister Meng have enough money?

Actually, Meng Hongchen originally didn't want to go against her brother.

Even if they don't get along on a daily basis, they are still family after all, and Meng Hongchen would never do something like siding with outsiders.

As for why it was done now?

Well, the main reason is that Xiao Bing, who is usually quiet and reserved, suddenly told her that Bai Ran wanted that embryo. Then, for some reason, Meng Hongchen impulsively decided to make a move.

If Xiao Bing said she wanted it, Meng Hongchen would 99% choose to remain indifferent.

However, if the store manager, Bai Ran, is brought into the picture, a different outcome occurs.

Bai Ran: No, when did I say I wanted it?
Xiao Bing: Hehe~
Bai Ran: Seriously, is my name that effective? With just one sentence, Meng Hongchen was willing to spend 160 million gold soul coins on me.

"Meng Hongchen, what exactly have you done?!"

At this moment, Xiao Hongchen was caught in a dilemma: should he bid or not?

After all, bidding would be like giving money away to Starlight Auction House, while not bidding would mean the item would end up in her sister's hands.

Given Meng Hongchen's insatiable nature, Xiao Hongchen didn't think he could get the 100,000-year-old soul beast embryo from his sister.

"I... I said it slipped, brother, do you believe me?"

Under the watchful eyes of everyone, Meng Hongchen was too embarrassed to reveal Bai Ran's name.

Besides, Ma Rulong was also there.

He should have known that he had purchased this 100,000-year-old soul beast embryo for Bai Ran's younger brother.

I reckon he'll cause Bai Ran a lot of trouble once he gets back.

"I really am..."

Xiao Hongchen was about to lose his temper.

The next second, I felt a vibration coming from my waist.

Did his sister send him a message using her communication soul tool?
Why can't you explain things clearly in public, instead of sending yourself a text message?

Thinking of this, Xiao Hongchen pretended to be angry and went out the door, looking like she was going to the toilet.

……

After going out for a while, Xiao Hongchen quickly took out his communication soul tool.

After browsing through the contents, an "I see" expression immediately appeared on their faces.

It turns out that Bai Ran also had her eye on that 100,000-year-old soul beast embryo.

However, the younger sister's behavior of forgetting her older brother after having a younger brother still left Xiao Hongchen feeling somewhat helpless.

Laughing at the World: So, does this mean that daughters grow up and leave home?

The only thing that's still infuriating is that they gave away ten million gold soul coins to the Starlight Auction House for nothing.

You should know that ten million is already a huge sum of money. Even a top-tier level eight soul tool would only cost that much.

Besides, whether it's the money he earned from laughing at the world or the money he earned from dreaming about the world, it's all family money.

It's like I'm spending my grandfather's money.

Meng Hongchen, that spendthrift woman.

……

Bai Ran had no idea what kind of surprise Xiao Bing had brought him.

Instead, Lei's movie brought him a surprise first.

"Manager, why are you studying this one bone so intently?"

The shop manager looked so fond of a bone.

Lei's film expressed great incomprehension.

This scene feels really weird.

Could it be that the store manager was born in the Year of the Dog? I've never heard of that before.

"Oh dear, you don't understand. This thing is called a soul bone, which is something that can enhance a soul master's combat power."

Although he is a food-type Soul Master, it is still very necessary for him to have offensive means.

However, this piece of Ice Jade Scorpion's left arm bone requires the ultimate ice attribute to absorb. Bai Ran is currently still some distance from the ultimate ice attribute and must wait until he absorbs the immortal herb and raises his attribute to the ultimate ice attribute before he can absorb it normally.

This is why Bai Ran did not choose to absorb the soul bone immediately after obtaining it from the mysterious woman.

Although with his current cultivation level and near-perfect ice attributes, there is a greater than 70% chance of successfully absorbing it.

But what if?
I'm not some cheater with a built-in system; if I accidentally die, I can just use a resurrection coin on the spot.

If I die, then I'm really dead.
