The Peerless Tang Sect: Possessing Huo Yuhao at the Start

Chapter 29 The Gold of Life

The round-robin tournament consists of one match every other day, and the first round of the round-robin tournament has already ended. The first round of the round-robin tournament was not very exciting, and now is not the time for everyone to show their strongest abilities.

That night, Wang Yan took them to an auction. Wang Yan's idea was actually very simple: to make them understand the trend of soul guidance development. He even talked about the injuries of the Seven Devils of the Inner Court.

Wang Yan's vision was far-sighted, even surpassing that of the elders of the Sea God Pavilion. However, Wang Yan ultimately had no power to decide anything. The only thing he could do was to let these students know the future development trend. Only by fundamentally changing everything could the new generation understand the inevitability of the development of soul tools.

Beibei is Beibei. He would do anything for Tang Ya. Even when he talked about his willingness to study the Soul Guidance System and try to cooperate with the Soul Guidance Device, he had a bit of the air of "I will lead the charge".

Everyone else was fine with it, but Jiang Nannan was truly penniless. When it came to soul tools, she had no money and couldn't afford them. However, Wang Yan reminded Jiang Nannan that the academy would cover the cost of the soul tools. Jiang Nannan didn't hesitate anymore. The only person who disagreed was Wang Dong, who was somewhat resistant.

"It's okay, you can get used to it slowly." Huo Zhanji led Wang Dong aside.

Upon entering the auction hall, a five-meter-wide staircase covered with a red carpet led downwards. There were no staff members guiding visitors from the outside. After descending about twenty meters, one finally reached the registration area.

Before bringing everyone here, Wang Yan had already completed these tedious procedures, handing each person a number plate. Only with the number plate could a girl in a red dress lead them inside.

A woman in a purple dress walked onto the stage from one side of the auction hall. She looked to be around thirty years old and had a dignified and beautiful appearance. She was Qingya, the auctioneer for this auction.

Shrek Academy is indeed wealthy and powerful. Wang Yan frequently bid on a lot of soul tools, which made Qingya on the stage quite excited. Huo Zhanji, on the other hand, was waiting for the grand finale product.

When it came to the last item, the trolley was taken off the stage, and Qingya walked to the front of the auction platform. Her pretty face was slightly flushed, and she lowered her voice, saying, "Distinguished guests, our special surprise is about to be presented. This is also the last item for tonight. Originally, it shouldn't have been here. However, to thank you all for your continued support of Starlight Auction, with the permission of our chief auctioneer, we have specially added this item. Although its price is very high, I believe that everyone who truly understands it will feel it is worth the price. Now, please have our hostesses bring this special surprise forward."

The trolley slowly made its way onto the stage from one side. Unlike the previous items, this time the trolley was not only larger, but the cover on it was also a bright and eye-catching red.

Just as the cart was brought onto the stage, Electrolux within Huo Zhanji's spiritual sea spoke up at the opportune moment, "Huo Zhanji, do me a favor. Get that knife for me at all costs. Once you have it, I will sense it and help you solve its problem. This will not only benefit me, but it will also be of immense benefit to you. Don't waste this golden opportunity."

"Alright, then how should I address you?" Huo Zhanji thought for a moment and said, he couldn't just call him Elder Yi directly, that would be awkward.

"With the sun and moon in my hands, I pluck the stars from the sky; there is no one like me in this world. My name is the Necromancer Saint, the Undead Calamity, Elex!"

Wang Yan had no intention of bidding on it either. As soon as the carving knife was introduced, Huo Zhanji waved his hand, "One hundred thousand gold soul coins!"

The moment the voice rang out, the auction hall fell into a stunned silence; even the auctioneer was so surprised that he forgot to speak.

Upon hearing Huo Zhanji's bid, everyone from Shrek Academy was taken aback. Even those who didn't understand soul tools, like Bei Bei and Xu Sanshi, could sense the problem with the carving knife from the auctioneer's elegant introduction and the silence in the room. Yet Huo Zhanji had already made a bid. What was he doing...?

Despite Qingya's repeated questioning, there was no response from the audience. No one was willing to bid for the weapon, because everyone knew that once they made a bid, the deal would likely be finalized.

"100,000 gold soul coins, first time." With no other choice, Qingya had to start the final three bids.

"100,000 Gold Soul Coins, for the second time."

"100,000 Gold Soul Coins, third time. Sold!"

"Bang!" The auction gavel fell, announcing that this peerless, deadly blade had fallen into Huo Zhanji's hands.

"Are you really alright? This knife is so strange, aren't you afraid...?" Wang Dong's expression was somewhat tense, fearing that something might happen to Huo Zhanji after he got his hands on the knife.

"I'm not afraid, so why are you? It's not for you to use. A small, broken knife is nothing to me," Huo Zhanji said calmly.

Although everyone was skeptical, this was, after all, Huo Zhanji's personal property, and they couldn't interfere with Huo Zhanji's choices.

As night fell, when Huo Zhanji took out the Soul-Devouring Blade from the system space, he immediately released his mental probe to cover the Soul-Devouring Blade. At the moment of contact, Huo Zhanji's body trembled violently.

Fortunately, Huo Zhanji was protected by the Soul-Devouring Heart-Protecting Chain and two intelligent soul rings, otherwise he would have really suffered. The chains fought against the fierce aura of the carving knife. Huo Zhanji could clearly sense that the fierce aura of the Soul-Devouring Blade had lost its power and could no longer pose a threat to him. Elder Yi also woke up from his slumber.

"Huo Zhanji, it seems you've already obtained the Gold of Life. Leave the rest to me."

Huo Zhanji's eyes were filled with deathly stillness. A gray light fell directly on the carving knife, and Huo Zhanji's consciousness returned to his sea of ​​consciousness. Electrolux took over control of his body.

The moment the gray spiritual energy released by Electrox landed on the Soul-Devouring Carving Blade, the blade trembled violently, and a series of humming sounds, like mournful screams, emanated from it.

Electrolux's thoughts echoed in Huo Zhanji's mental sea: "To infuse the Gold of Life with evil thoughts and curses—what a whiz of the instigator! He only sensed the immense energy within the Gold of Life, but had no idea how to unleash its true power. Purify, Gold of Life, I will restore you to your original form. I will expel all filth and let your purest life force shine forth."

The purification process was brief. Soon, the last wisp of black energy on the Soul-Devouring Blade disappeared quietly, and the azure light emanating from its body resembled azure crystal.

Electrolux's weak voice immediately rang out: "Put it on your forehead. No matter what happens later, don't panic. Stay calm and leave everything to me, understand?"

"it is good."

Huo Zhanji agreed and placed the Soul-Devouring Carving Knife vertically between his eyebrows. A strange aura immediately emanated from his spiritual sea, and a bright blue light burst forth. An extremely rich and vigorous life force instantly flowed into Huo Zhanji's body through his brow.

He could clearly feel his body changing. His physical fitness was rapidly improving, and his meridians, internal organs, and bones were all undergoing qualitative changes. Huo Zhanji was not worried about what would happen next. All he needed to do now was wait quietly.

When the Soul-Devouring Blade sliced ​​open Huo Zhanji's brow, he could still feel the excruciating pain of his mind being torn apart. When everything quieted down, the starry sea that Huo Zhanji had constructed also showed signs of life. Gray light flickered, and an old man in white robes with an aged face appeared in Huo Zhanji's spiritual sea.

"Big bug, little scorpion, I will no longer fight you for territory. You can release some of your sealing power to replenish the star sea that Huo Zhanji has built."

"Are you Electrolux?" Tianmeng asked, looking at him in surprise.

Electrolux nodded and said, "This wisp of my divine consciousness has no foundation and is too ethereal, so much so that it could collapse at any moment. But with this life-giving gold that seizes the creation of heaven and earth, it's different. I have a vessel to nourish it, and I can finally stabilize this wisp of my divine consciousness. I'm leaving now. You can contact me through your spiritual origin in the future."

As he spoke, Electrolux drew a line in front of him with his right hand, and a cyan light gate appeared before him. He waved to Tianmeng Ice Silkworm and Ice Jade Emperor Scorpion, and his illusory figure stepped into the light gate and disappeared. The formation of the Eye of Life is a painful and long process, and Huo Zhanji also fainted immediately.

When Huo Zhanji woke up, the Eye of Life between his eyebrows had fully formed, his physical attributes had significantly improved, his soul power had increased by two levels to level thirty-two, and the duration of his self-fusion martial soul skill had increased to three minutes...

Early in the morning, everyone from Shrek Academy was already up. Dai Yueheng, Ma Xiaotao, and Ling Luochen were still healing their injuries. It would take at least a few more days before Ling Luochen would be the first to recover.

Wang Yan led the group, who had already equipped themselves with the new soul tools they had purchased the night before, out of the Star Emperor Hotel and headed straight for Star Luo Square. Their opponents for today had already been determined, but the competition format would be decided by drawing lots on-site.

Xingluo Square was as lively as ever, especially when the Shrek Academy team appeared in the contestant passage guarded by soldiers, the whole place erupted in cheers and jubilation.

With the sun high in the sky and the competition time approaching, His Majesty the Emperor of the Star Luo Empire had once again arrived at the city wall of the imperial city to watch the battle.

On the competition stage, the referee walked to the center and announced loudly through the megaphone: "Both sides enter the waiting area. The captains of both sides come up to the stage to draw lots."

Wearing dark green competition uniforms, the Shrek Academy students got up and walked into the waiting area. Wang Yan nodded to Bei Bei, and Bei Bei strode onto the competition stage.

The draw began, and everyone was focused on the results. The audience was simply hoping that Shrek Academy's opponents would last longer so they could see more exciting matches.

"Shrek Academy vs. Thousand Spirits Academy, team battle!" the referee announced loudly.

"Damn, the ripples from the butterfly's wings aren't enough." Huo Zhanji muttered to himself, his face darkening. "Can't I take on seven opponents at once?"
