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

"Auction begins!"

The price skyrocketed, quickly reaching a staggering ten million gold soul coins!

Inside Shrek Academy's room, Cai Meier put away a special soul tool, a communication device shaped like a snail shell, which could connect to Shrek Academy's inner courtyard.

Just now, Mu En's message to Cai Meier was that she trusted Huo Yuhao and would follow his lead in everything.

Huo Yuhao also tried to persuade Cai Meier.

"The Three-Eyed Golden Lion is extremely valuable, but the danger it represents is also terrifying. We'd better not get involved."

But the Three-Eyed Golden Lion represents unprecedented fortune!

Although Cai Meier believed that Huo Yuhao could become a pillar of Shrek Academy in the future, was it a bit too much to trust Huo Yuhao in such an important matter?

Just as Cai Meier hesitated, a knock sounded at the door. When she opened the door, she was surprised to see the emperor of the Star Luo Empire!

"His Majesty?"

Cai Meier was somewhat surprised and nodded slightly in acknowledgment. This was the status of Shrek Academy on the continent; even the emperor didn't need to care too much about it.

Xu Jiawei nodded, but looked at Huo Yuhao with a longing for talent in his eyes.

"This must be Huo Yuhao. Being a top student at Shrek Academy is truly enviable! Would you be interested in serving me after graduation?"

? ?

Are they openly poaching our talent? Don't they respect us at all?

With a dark expression, Cai Meier stood between the two.

"Your Majesty, that's incredibly inconsiderate of you!"

When stopped, the emperor was magnanimous and didn't hold it against him, laughing and letting the matter drop.

"I was simply overjoyed to see such a talented person."

Although he stated the purpose of his visit.

Although Xu Jiawei smiled faintly, his face was much more serious.

"I've come to tell Shrek Academy something important."

Cai Meier and Huo Yuhao's hearts stirred, as if they had thought of something, and they looked at the Star Luo Emperor.

"Your Majesty, what do you mean?"

Seeing that the two seemed to have anticipated this, Emperor Xingluo was also somewhat surprised.

"Shrek Academy is indeed well-established! I'll be frank then. The Three-Eyed Golden Lion was captured from the Star Dou Great Forest. You all know what it represents, so I hope Shrek Academy will not interfere."

Hearing the Star Luo Emperor personally confirm Huo Yuhao's words, Cai Meier was somewhat dazed, and she couldn't help but ask.

"Then why does Your Majesty want to...?"

"I'm not sure what words to use to describe it," Emperor Xingluo continued.

"Why would I want to auction it off?"

When this topic was brought up, Emperor Xingluo narrowed his eyes slightly.

"Xingluo is poor, and the development of soul tools in the Sun Moon Empire is too astonishing. I must find something to delay their development."

These words were very true. Cai Meier nodded, her eyes filled with complex emotions.

As the Star Luo Emperor looked at Huo Yuhao, the image of that left arm bone flashed through his mind, and the idea of ​​investing in it came to him.

"However... to express our gratitude, we have decided to give you the Ice Jade Scorpion left arm bone as compensation, but we hope you two can keep this a secret."

"this……"

This compensation is extremely high!

"You're welcome. Only Yuhao can utilize this soul bone. Rather than letting it gather dust, let it play a greater role. I also look forward to you defeating the Sun Moon Empire's team with this soul bone."

That was a very skillful remark. The Star Luo Emperor offered a way out, and Cai Meier was not an indecisive person.

"Then thank you, Your Majesty. We will do our best."

"Alright, now that things have been cleared up here, I'll go back and take charge of the Three-Eyed Golden Lion."

Soon, the Star Luo Emperor left. Inside the room, Huo Yuhao and Cai Meier stared at the screen, neither of them speaking.

"One hundred million! I'll offer one hundred million!!"

Xiao Hongchen was so anxious that his eyes turned red, and he frantically pressed the bid button.

Beside him, Ma Rulong was also staring at the ever-increasing price tag on the screen, looking anxious and grumbling.

"Are these people all crazy? A ten-thousand-year-old soul beast might not even have a soul bone! And they're offering such a high price!"

However, they completely ignored the fact that their own offer was also incredibly crazy.

130 million!

170 million!

Two hundred and forty million!

Finally, the auction ended with a terrifyingly high price of 300 million gold soul coins.

Xiao Hongchen slumped on the sofa, her face flushed, clearly in a state of confusion after the emotional climax.

Meng Hongchen was a little scared, and looked at her brother with worry in her clear, big eyes.

"We got it! Three hundred million! The Imperial Beast is ours!"

Ma Rulong's performance was even worse than Xiao Hongchen's; he was trembling uncontrollably, breathing heavily to calm his frenzied emotions.

Three hundred million!

He never imagined in his life that he would personally spend 300 million gold soul coins to buy a golden lion!

This price far exceeded the funds they brought, and they would have to use some of the special soul tools manufactured by their Mingde Hall as a discount to afford it.

Inside each VIP room, people were talking about it, sending people to find out who had made such a big move and finally produced 300 million gold soul coins!

Old Ma returned looking exhausted, and as soon as he opened the door, he eagerly asked them questions.

"How's it going? Did you get a picture?"

Upon seeing his grandfather return, Ma Rulong nodded somewhat nervously.

"Grandpa, we got it! Three hundred million!"

"Three hundred million!"

Old Ma's pupils contracted slightly, but he quickly relaxed and nodded silently.

"An imperial auspicious beast, worth the price! I'll go to the auction house, get it as soon as possible, and transport it back to the Sun Moon Empire via the secret passage."

"Who will the Sun Moon Empire send as an escort?"

Xiao Hongchen took a few deep breaths, his eyes clearing somewhat from the excitement, and asked Old Ma.

Old Ma's eyes were complicated as he glanced at Xiao Hongchen and said.

"It's Hall Master Jing Hongchen and Lord Kong Deming. They're heading to Douluo Continent with the Sun and Moon Silver Light Shield."

"My grandfather and Confucius came in person? They even brought out the Sun and Moon Silver Light Shield?!"

Xiao Hongchen then realized how much the Sun Moon Empire valued the Three-Eyed Golden Lion.

Deep within the Star Dou Great Forest, beside a vibrant lake, a colossal figure, its massive tail slapping impatiently, churned deep craters into the ground.

The thick, blue-striped dragon claws pinned a three-headed lion firmly to the ground.

The lion's terrifying canines gleamed with a reddish-gold luster, and its reddish-gold fur burned like flames, giving it an overall imposing and fierce appearance.

But at this moment, it was casually pressed and rubbed against the ground by a dragon claw, and strands of crimson blood covered the ground, with crimson flames on the blood.

A pair of golden eyes, filled with bloodlust and rage, stared at the Crimson King beneath its claws, its furious voice booming across the heavens and earth.

"How could you possibly care for the auspicious beast? You actually let it be captured by humans! Do you know what you're doing?!"

With a powerful flick of its dragon claw, the Crimson King was thrown out like a broken sack, crashing heavily into a massive ancient tree.

The tree trunk, as tough as refined iron, snapped, and splinters pierced the Red King's body, causing blood to flow freely.

But it dared not resist at all, curling up on the ground with its head down and whimpering.

Di Tian looked down from his high position, lifting the Crimson King up again with his dragon claws, and questioned him.

"Where is it now? Why can't I sense it anymore?!"
