Douluo Continent, I, Huo Yuhao, defy fate with my spiritual eyes.

He easily defeated Zheng Tian Academy by taking on three opponents, securing his place in the top four. At the same time, an invitation was sent to Huo Yuhao from the auction where he won the Soul-Devouring Carving Blade.

Unlike in the previous life, this time the invitation also included a catalog of auction items.

Inside were some auction treasures, but when you turned to the last page, there was a big question mark with the words "Mysterious Auction Item, a Rare Treasure of the World."

Huo Yuhao became even more interested, curious about what kind of treasure would replace Xue Di at the auction.

"A top-tier auction?"

Cai Meier hesitated for a moment; if she could, she wouldn't want Huo Yuhao to leave even for a second.

She still couldn't find the mysterious expert; it seemed to have left after that one glance, but she dared not let her guard down.

The elders sent by the academy to protect Huo Yuhao are still on their way, and he must at least hold out until then.

After some time recalling, Huo Yuhao was certain that the look in his eyes that day belonged to Du Busi of the Body Sect, and that his purpose was simply to take him as a disciple.

Huo Yuhao didn't have any ill feelings towards Du Busi. He admired someone who was willing to sacrifice himself to buy time for the sake of Douluo Continent.

But he couldn't tell Cai Meier, because he still wanted to obtain the Body Sect's secret techniques to improve himself.

In order to finally defeat that bastard Tang San, Huo Yuhao must improve himself by any means necessary.

"This is a top-tier auction, with many important figures in attendance. The security system must be top-notch, so that mysterious person shouldn't dare to make a move."

Despite Huo Yuhao's persuasion, Cai Meier remained somewhat hesitant.

Huo Yuhao quickly seized the opportunity to strike while the iron was hot.

"And I saw an Ice Jade Scorpion's soul bone at the auction, which I think is perfect for me."

Since it concerned Huo Yuhao's cultivation, Cai Meier dared not be negligent and agreed, but she made a request.

"Then let's go together, but you promise to stay by my side and not leave my side for even a moment!"

Seeing that Cai Meier agreed, Huo Yuhao nodded hurriedly.

As night falls, darkness descends, and countless stars twinkle, a building shines brightly in the melancholy night.

The Starlight Supermarket was meticulously decorated to welcome top figures from all walks of life.

Entering through a hidden door, one finds a semi-transparent jade passageway covered in dark patterns, the designs of which are obscured. Several lines composed of pale blue halos pass through both sides.

The luxurious Room 7 was specially prepared for Shrek, and its interior decoration was obviously extravagant yet elegant.

Huo Yuhao didn't stand on ceremony and leaned back on the luxurious sofa covered with animal hides. The soft touch made him squint his eyes in comfort.

Cai Meier sat beside her, her eyes filled with a hint of wariness.

To prevent any unforeseen circumstances, Cai Meier did not choose to bring all her team members to broaden their horizons, in case a mysterious person attacked and she was unable to protect all the students.

The auction began soon, and Princess Jiujiu, dressed in an elegant black palace gown, spoke gracefully. The first item up for auction was once again an old acquaintance.

"The Tyrant Tiger Soul-Slaying Blade, an eighth-level soul tool, is of extremely high quality. It was meticulously crafted by an eighth-level soul master from the Mingde Hall using a precious ten-thousand-year-old tiger's leg soul bone. Every strike carries the effect of a tyrant's slash!"

In another room, Xiao Hongchen looked at the familiar battle sword and smiled smugly.

"This is the prestige of our Mingde Hall! With the addition of Mingde Hall, the value of any soul tool will be three times higher."

Ma Rulong, the captain of the Sun and Moon team, was also very proud.

"Who can blame us, Mingde Hall, for our strength in the field of soul tools far surpasses that of others!"

Without Dai Yueheng's intervention, the battle sword was ultimately sold for only 1.2 million gold soul coins.

As items were auctioned off one by one, Cai Meier also purchased some precious soul tools to send back to the academy as research materials.

Soon it was time for Huo Yuhao's long-awaited Ice Jade Scorpion left arm bone to be placed on the stage. A green halo flowed and shone on the soul bone, with ice crystals embedded in it, emitting a faint icy mist.

Although Hyotei knew about this from the gift book, when they actually saw the item, their anger still surged uncontrollably into their hearts.

"Damn humans, what time is this! My people... It's all my fault, I failed to protect you!!"

The First Sea of ​​Spirit was also churning due to Hyotei's emotional fluctuations.

The auctioneer slowly revealed the mandatory requirements for ice attributes and the solidification skill of Ice Explosion. This time, the auctioneer did not rush to start the auction, but left some time for rest.

"Ice Blast? Yuhao, you want that skill?"

After hearing the introduction of the soul bone, Cai Meier immediately understood the power of this soul skill and the tactical value behind it.

"Yes, this soul bone is perfect for me!"

Huo Yuhao nodded, stating that he wanted it.

After a moment of silence, Cai Meier nodded as if she had made up her mind.

"Alright, wait a moment. I'll have someone raise the funds. Shrek Academy's financial resources are second to none; we'll definitely get you this soul bone!"

As she was speaking, Cai Meier was about to find someone to notify the nearby Shrek Chamber of Commerce, but Huo Yuhao stopped her.

Knowing that Cai Meier had misunderstood, Huo Yuhao was deeply moved. His potential had indeed been revealed, and the academy's investment was unimaginably substantial!

He quickly explained the characteristics of the Ice Jade Scorpion Soul Bone to Cai Meier: only those with extreme ice power can control and absorb it; others will only explode and die if they try to absorb it.

Cai Meier's eyes darted around, and a cunning expression appeared on her pretty face.

"Oh, then the price of this soul bone will have to be significantly reduced!"

Huo Yuhao nodded with a smile, then called in the maid outside the door and told her the news.

Just like in the previous life, the auction was abruptly halted for verification. In the end, just like in the previous life, after the auction resumed, the auction house itself bought it at an outrageously high price.

Cai Meier frowned, puzzled, as she could immediately see through the auction house's manipulation.

"Yuhao, it seems you misjudged the situation. To protect its reputation, Starlight Auction House will not expose this issue, but will instead buy it themselves."

Knowing that the auction house would give it to him, Huo Yuhao didn't say anything. He didn't intend to accept this favor and shook his head with a smile.

"It's useless for them to keep the soul bones; they'll just have to worry about us revealing this information. We can just ask if we can get them at a lower price."

Cai Meier had some reservations, but seeing Huo Yuhao's confident demeanor, she nodded and said no more.

The last item up for auction was also the most mysterious and valuable item!

Even the auctioneer, Princess Jiujiu, changed into a long gold dress and wore a serious and solemn expression when it came to the auction item.

Soon, a huge object covered with a golden curtain slowly rose from the ground.

Seeing this, Huo Yuhao also sat up, staring at the huge golden curtain behind Princess Jiujiu, various guesses running through his mind.

What a huge golden curtain! It's definitely not a 100,000-year-old soul beast embryo!

A vague premonition arose in my heart.

This item seems to have a very strong connection to me, but what could it be?
