Douluo Continent: The Great Summoner Huo Yuhao

Huo Yuhao and Ning Tian arrived at an auction house called "Starlight Auction House".

Ning Tian showed a small card, and the waiter respectfully bowed to the two of them and led them to the so-called VIP room.

Truly befitting a powerful force like the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile School...

The waiter seemed to be trembling, as if he was worried that he might inadvertently offend them and thus face unexpected disaster.

Huo Yuhao understood his staff very well; Ning Tian was relatively mild-mannered and restrained.

Otherwise, serving these important figures wouldn't bring many benefits, but if you offend them, you might not even be able to save your own life.

Rather, Huo Yuhao understood it all too well. Back in the Duke's mansion, when they encountered those arrogant scoundrels, they really wanted to slap a passing dog on the street.

He always acts like he's the best in the world, relentlessly provoking and bullying others.

Sigh, times have changed. I'm rarely bullied anymore, so now I'm always seen as the one who bullies others...

"Sister, don't be nervous. At least I'll keep an eye on her and make sure she doesn't cause you any trouble."

Huo Yuhao couldn't help but speak up to comfort the waitress, but Ning Tian interpreted his words differently.

Ning Tian remained silent.

Let's assume he's kind and compassionate, and that given their relationship, he could probably calm her down when she gets angry.

Absolutely not. In his heart, he considered himself an arrogant and domineering person.

That's right, she's not made of clay; she gets angry sometimes.

Having a companion who can prioritize the overall situation and persuade you to stay calm is also very important at that time.

Soon after, the auction officially began.

Huo Yuhao stared intently at the soul guidance screen in front of him, occasionally clicking his tongue in amazement at the exorbitant profits in the soul guidance device industry.

At the same time, he frowned, somewhat worried that he hadn't brought enough money with him this time.

I don't know if the auction house will accept the payment, and although the academy said it would fully support him, it's still someone else's money.

Spending too much money can make you feel uneasy.

Ning Tian, ​​standing to the side, seemed to have forgotten the purpose of his visit to the auction.

Her eyes remained fixed on Huo Yuhao's face, scrutinizing him closely.

Unbeknownst to her, her emotions were also influenced by Huo Yuhao.

She completely relaxed, as if admiring a priceless treasure, her large eyes filled with intoxication and fascination.

He was so serious...so focused...

"To accomplish something great, one must first have the right tools. Indeed, for a Soul Master, rare metals as raw materials and the carving knife infused with soul are very important."

Ning Tian carefully observed the distance between the two of them. Hmm, it could be a little closer, but it wouldn't be too abrupt.

She slowly moved her small bottom closer, about two fists' distance away, and then casually struck up a conversation with Huo Yuhao.

She also wanted to use her talent and knowledge to make Huo Yuhao look at her in a new light.

"Oh." Huo Yuhao nodded in agreement.

"Indeed, if a Soul Master is used to a carving knife, suddenly switching to an unfamiliar carving knife will affect their performance."

"Yes, a good carving knife is the soul of a Soul Master. I have five carving knives. Besides daily practice, my favorite is the Nine Treasures Neon. It is ranked 43rd on the carving knife ranking list. Although I can't unleash its full power yet, one day I will become a powerful Soul Master."

Ning Tian stated his ambitions, then looked at Huo Yuhao, expecting him to speak.

"That's wonderful, a list-carving knife." Huo Yuhao said with great envy.

"But aren't five knives a bit too many?"

Huo Yuhao was filled with doubts. According to what he had read in Fan Yu's notebook, a Soul Master usually only needed three carving knives.

Every Soul Master has a standard carving knife for beginners to practice with, then a unique carving knife with their own style after they become famous, and finally a spare carving knife that is almost never used.

Shouldn't Ning Tian be using a standard engraving knife to build a foundation now?

She just mentioned another engraving knife, which, barring any unforeseen circumstances, will also be her future exclusive engraving knife. Right now, she should only be able to multitask and continuously familiarize herself with her exclusive engraving knife.

"Is five knives a lot?" Ning Tian didn't understand. Five knives wasn't exactly showing off wealth...

"Isn't that a lot? Didn't your teacher tell you that...?"

Huo Yuhao patiently explained the carving knife to Ning Tian. Judging from her increasingly surprised expression, she had indeed never heard of these rules before.

"Yuhao, I've been learning about soul tools since I was little, and my family even hired a level six soul master to guide me. You know, soul masters above level five are very rare, and level seven soul masters focus on research and rarely take on disciples. Where did you hear all this?"

Ning Tian felt that her starting point was already very high. She had been studying soul tools for four years and would soon become a level two soul master, but she had never heard of so much knowledge in carving knives.

Her sixth-level Soul Master teacher believed that Soul Masters should constantly select and adapt to more carving knives in order to find the best carving knife that can help them succeed in making a work.

The two viewpoints are diametrically opposed.

"Oh, I saw it in Ms. Fanyu's notes. You keep picking at your knife to increase the success rate, which is not conducive to developing your own style."

Huo Yuhao felt there was nothing wrong with saying this.

"Hana-sensei's notes!?"

Ning Tian was stunned. She had heard of Fan Yu's name before. He was a legendary level eight Soul Master and the most promising candidate to break through to level nine Soul Master among the three great empires and Shrek Academy.

If Huo Yuhao said that Fan Yu taught him, Ning Tian would probably be very surprised, and then sigh that Huo Yuhao was indeed worthy of the title.

But what does it mean to have seen it in Ms. Fan Yu's notes?

Would you show these notes to outsiders?

And judging from his tone, it sounds like he's teaching himself!

"Oh! They really do sell carving knives!"

Huo Yuhao's attention was instantly drawn to the newly listed items.

"A list-carving knife that devours souls!? And it's related to evil spirit masters!? Since it can backfire on its master, why are you selling such a dangerous thing?!"

Huo Yuhao's surprise didn't last long before he was angered by the host's introduction.

Based on his experience, he didn't know why evil energy would actively seek out his body.

Although he had managed to get through the previous close calls without any real danger, he was still quite frightened.

"Buy it, I feel it's essentially a piece of living gold."

The three-eyed golden lion that had been hovering above them spoke softly.

"Anyway, there's always a way to get rid of it once I buy it. Let's see if I can wash off the curse on the Gold of Life, or if the evil energy you absorbed before has stabilized and become your power. That's essentially a purification, so at least I don't feel any danger."
