Douluo Continent: The Peerless Tang Sect - Sharingan Intercepts Tianmeng

Chapter 91 Elder Xuan: Xiao Qiang won't come to Shrek Academy even if he kneels.

As the Star Luo Empire's royal family sent out the Ice Jade Scorpion Soul Bone, the Starlight Auction House also prepared its final item for auction.

After Xu Jiujiu changed into an outfit that was only worn when the auction price exceeded 100 million, Xiao Qiang's brain went blank for a moment.

Because Xiao Qiang clearly remembered that the last item auctioned was a soul beast embryo, and this embryo should have been Xue Di, but now Xue Di was resting in her storage soul tool, so what else could be guaranteed to fetch a high price of 100 million?

While Xiao Qiang was filled with questions, the Starlight Auction House revealed the answer.

What was pushed out was the embryo of another soul beast.

Xiao Qiang: "???"

The Snow Emperor has surpassed the 700,000-year mark. Where did this embryo come from?

While Xiao Qiang was full of questions, Princess Jiujiu introduced the benefits that the 100,000-year-old soul beast embryo could bring to everyone. When she mentioned that if the 100,000-year-old embryo was successfully fused, it was possible to give birth to a second martial soul, the entire auction house was almost in an uproar.

At this moment, Huo Yuhao, who had come with the Shrek Academy team, asked about Electrolux.

"Elder Yi, is it really possible for this soul beast embryo to grant someone a second martial soul?"

Ilex, within Huo Yuhao's spiritual sea, pondered for a moment. "I don't know much about soul beasts and martial souls, but from a magical perspective, it is indeed possible to fuse an embryo that has not yet successfully transformed into another person's power. However, there might be a strong resentment involved. If it cannot be controlled, the person absorbing it might become a dark mage, something similar to the evil soul masters in your world."

"Furthermore, if the soul beast inside that embryo possesses strong spiritual power, it may be able to take this opportunity to change its body and be reborn."

Huo Yuhao swallowed silently, and then his whole demeanor was not very good.

He was broke when he was using the Soul Devouring Carving Blade, and now, facing this soul beast embryo that could potentially grant him a second martial soul, he has even less of a chance.

"Why do I have nothing? Not even money." Huo Yuhao gritted his teeth inwardly.

In the original story, Huo Yuhao's temperament was somewhat extreme from the beginning. However, with Tianmeng's help, Huo Yuhao, despite having only one spirit ring, was first noticed by Fan Yu and gained the recognition of the Spirit Guidance Department. After defeating Dai Huabin, although the Martial Soul Department did not want him afterward, he was taken in as a closed-door disciple by Fan Yu of the Spirit Guidance Department and enjoyed the best treatment in the Spirit Guidance Department.

With the help of the soul skills Tianmeng gave Huo Yuhao and the assistance of Ilex, Huo Yuhao defeated Wufeng and won the respect of his classmates. After acquiring his second martial soul, although Shrek Academy did not offer anything truly good, at least they had promised Huo Yuhao a bright future. The personal apology from the dean of Shrek Academy made Huo Yuhao feel respected.

Despite some problems along the way, the overall direction has been developing in a positive direction, so Huo Yuhao's personality has been changing for the better.

However, Huo Yuhao now lacks the four soul skills given to him by Tianmeng. He can't even defeat Dai Huabin, let alone enter the Soul Guidance Department. Fan Yu reluctantly agreed to let him in after much deliberation.

With a low innate soul power level and a martial soul that hasn't undergone a second awakening, Huo Yuhao's martial soul quality is just so-so. Although his eye martial soul allows him to see everything more clearly, it's still a low-end form of mental detection. While Huo Yuhao's talent in the soul guidance system is decent, it's at best just average.

Compared to how much Fan Yu valued Huo Yuhao in the original work, Fan Yu's feelings for Huo Yuhao under the current circumstances are completely different.

Poor talent, poor cultivation, and mediocre soul skills—his only talent in the soul guidance system was decent. However, his innate level one soul power and his level seventeen soul power at the age of twelve meant that Huo Yuhao did not receive much attention.

Despite the comfort Electrolux offered him, Huo Yuhao's current extreme behavior is arguably even greater than it was at the beginning of the original story.

Sensing Huo Yuhao's intense hatred and misanthropy, Electrolux sighed helplessly.

"Sigh, this child's temperament... I hope he won't end up on the same path I did."

…………

"Then we will officially begin the auction for this 100,000-year-old soul beast embryo, with a starting price of 100 million gold soul coins."

As Princess Xu Jiujiu of the Star Luo Empire finished speaking, the soul beast embryo with a 100,000-year soul ring and soul bone as its foundation immediately attracted fierce competition from everyone in the entire auction house.

However, to Xiao Qiang's surprise, Xiao Hongchen did not speak or bid at all from beginning to end.

"Nephew, what's wrong with you lately? This composed demeanor is unlike you."

"It's nothing."

Xiao Hongchen was unwilling to say more, and Xiao Qiang didn't press further. So Xiao Qiang stopped paying attention to Xiao Hongchen and silently watched as Jing Hong called on Qingya to press the price increase button.

"My offer is 150 million."

As Jing Hongchen's voice fell, the price of the soul beast embryo quickly rose to a high of 150 million. Then, the entire auction house was filled with angry curses. Some people in the private rooms even smashed their cups and cursed the bidders as bastards.

"Grandpa, are you sure it's okay? Why are you spending so much money on me at this time?"

Xiao Hongchen looked at his grandfather with eyes full of emotion. It was almost impossible for this embryo to be given to Meng, so it was obviously meant for him. After all, in terms of kinship, he was Jing Hongchen's only grandson.

"What do you mean by 'at this time'?"

"It's the treasure trove of the Hongchen family..."

"The family's treasury? Oh, you saw what it was like after Xiao Qiang went to the Hongchen family's treasury, right? He said he might need a lot of things, so I told him to take whatever he wanted. The Hongchen family's treasury was indeed a little short for a while, but I've replenished it a lot now."

"Huh?" Xiao Hongchen was completely confused. "So, it's not that the Hongchen family has declined?"

"What are you saying? I am still a duke of the empire and the head of Mingde Hall. How could the Hongchen family have fallen into decline?"

"Fine, fine, kid, if you don't give me an explanation today, I'll kill you." Xiao Hongchen said, grabbing Xiao Qiang's collar and cursing.

Xiao Qiang: "..." So what exactly happened?

…………

After the auction ended, Shrek...

Yan Shaozhe told Elder Xuan what he had learned.

"Elder Xuan, we've found out that the kid named Xiao Qiang only has a soul power of level 50. Considering the soul guidance technology of the Spirit Sealing Platform that sealed the embryo, Xiao Qiang probably already prepared the soul beasts he wanted to hunt. He should be a five-ring Soul King now."

"If he only has the cultivation of a Soul King, then his cultivation level matches the information we obtained from Bei Bei. According to the information we obtained from Bei Bei, he should have broken through to the Venerable realm more than a year ago. The information we obtained from Auctioneer Qing Ya is that he took some medicine during this period and fused some Soul Rings of his Second Martial Soul. With his level 31 Soul Power combined with the medicine and the at least level 5 Soul Power brought by the five Soul Rings, it wouldn't be too surprising if he broke through to the Soul King realm recently."

Because Xiao Qiang knew that the final battle was approaching, and he could no longer maintain the status quo of having a group of six-ring Soul Emperors on his side, he didn't bother to conceal his side's information.

Aside from the fact that the Shrek Academy mustn't know about the Extreme Ice incident, in case they shamelessly try to snatch her away, there really isn't much else to hide.

After all, this is Douluo Continent II. Although twin martial souls are considered precious, they are not that special. You can basically infer something from Xiao Xiao's treatment at Shrek Academy.

Twin martial souls are precious; they would be top geniuses in any other power. But for Shrek Academy, which has countless geniuses, they are just so-so.

After listening to Yan Shaozhe's report, Elder Xuan sneered.

"Hmph, I knew this kid couldn't possibly be a Soul Emperor. He just broke through to Soul King, and he even has a 100,000-year Soul Ring? Ridiculous! Does he really think I can just fool him like that!"

"Elder Xuan, that child has twin martial souls after all, so why don't we..." Yan Shaozhe valued geniuses highly, but before he could finish speaking, Elder Xuan sneered.

"What do you mean, 'or what'? Hmph, he's just a talent ruined by the Sun Moon Empire. Adding a spirit ring to his second martial soul before level 50 and using drugs to enhance it, such actions make this old man laugh."

"Laugh at the Sun Moon Empire for its lack of strategy and the Mingde Hall Master for his lack of wisdom. They've ruined a genius with twin martial souls. They added eight soul rings before level 50. What's the use of those low-end thousand-year soul rings? Even if this kind of ruined genius kneels down, he shouldn't even think about entering Shrek Academy."
