Douluo Continent, Huo Yuhao who returned from Sekiro

Chapter 304 Living Soul Solution, Taken Down (Daily Ten Thousand)

Seeing the lukewarm reaction from the guests below, Qingya sighed softly, but didn't show it on her face.

The Soul-Devouring Blade had failed to sell at auction more than ten times, but it eventually did. Although this slime corpse with unknown attributes had failed to sell at auction many times, this was the first time it had ended up in her hands. She'd just have to wait it out.

The owner of Starlight Auction House had promised the auctioneers that they would receive one percent of the total amount as commission if they could get rid of this hot potato. At this point, the owner of Starlight Auction House was clearly not expecting to make money from this thing, but only hoping to lose as little as possible.

So be it if it doesn't sell. Qingya hadn't expected to sell it on her first try anyway. In a level-four auction house, there aren't that many customers with plenty of money who seem to have nothing better to do than study this kind of thing, even during the Continental Advanced Soul Master Tournament.

Just then, a somewhat immature voice rang out from below the stage, "Eight hundred thousand gold soul coins."

A sign was suddenly raised. It displayed the number 333.

Qingya was stunned for a moment. This was the first time anyone had made a bid since the slime corpse appeared in the Starlight Auction House!

After a brief moment of surprise, she was overjoyed. Just think, one percent commission is eight thousand gold soul coins!

Even if you spend it lavishly, it would still take more than ten years to finish.

She usually earns a good amount of gold soul coins by hosting an auction, ranging from a few dozen to a hundred. This is equivalent to about six months to a year's income for her!

For a moment, Qingya was so overjoyed that she forgot to respond.

These rich second-generation heirs are really something else!

If it weren't for this Continental Advanced Soul Master Tournament, where would someone as insignificant as her have encountered so many wealthy young men?

For a moment, the auctioneer, caught up in his ecstasy, forgot to respond.

"Is there a problem? If there is, let's solve it. Don't spoil my fun."

Huo Yuhao’s slightly unfriendly voice rang out. Although Elder Xuan had returned, he did not come to the auction with them. When traveling, it is best not to reveal one’s true identity. Eight hundred thousand gold soul coins is not a small amount.

When Huo Yuhao spoke, Qingya finally realized what was happening and broke out in a cold sweat.

My momentary hesitation almost caused an auction accident.

She quickly added, "Of course not, I'm so sorry. VIP number 331 has bid 800,000 gold soul coins. Is there any other VIP who would like to place a bid?"

Everyone from Shrek Academy was taken aback when they heard Huo Yuhao make his offer.

Spending 800,000 gold soul coins to buy this slime corpse with unknown attributes is too much of a gamble. Even Shrek Academy might not be able to figure out what kind of attack this slime corpse is designed to defend against!

Wang Dong didn't think there was anything wrong with Huo Yuhao's actions, but he nudged Huo Yuhao with his elbow: "The school's revenue share came down again? How come you have so much money?"

Huo Yuhao shook his head: "It's because of you that I'm here. I'm out of money. If you hadn't come today, I would have missed out too."

Upon hearing this, Wang Dong's face darkened. So that's what happened. Huo Yuhao was waiting to dump his gold coins on him.

"Hey, one million gold soul coins in a card. Ask me for more if that's not enough."

Wang Dong handed over a Gold Soul Coin card and turned his head away with a displeased look.

"Yuhao, what's wrong with you?"

Wang Yan was also somewhat hesitant. Even if this thing was researched and found out what kind of attack the slime corpse could defend against, it would most likely still be a loss. After all, at least water, fire, ice, lightning, and earth attacks had definitely been tested. Even if light and dark attacks hadn't been tested, so what?

Soul Masters with light and dark attributes are extremely rare. Spending 800,000 gold soul coins to defend against a Soul Master with these attributes, especially when their cultivation level is limited to Soul Saint or even Soul Emperor, is a huge loss no matter how you look at it.

Huo Yuhao stretched out his left arm, put his arm around Wang Dong's delicate neck, and forcibly extended his hand in front of Wang Dong, who had turned his head away, giving him a thumbs up before turning his head to look at Wang Yan.

"Teacher Wang, I bought this material on my own, not through the school's public account. Besides making defensive soul tools, this thing may have other uses. I suspect it's a metal slime corpse."

"This thing can be used to easily process various kinds of rare metal waste that are quite troublesome. With some methods, it can be purified and even made into all sorts of strange alloys. It depends on whether this thing is actually the corpse of a metallic slime."

Huo Yuhao and Wang Yan's conversation was naturally conducted with mental detection enabled. Upon hearing Huo Yuhao's speculation about metal slimes, Wang Yan nodded in agreement.

"If that's the case, it's worth a try. By the way, Yuhao, where did you learn about metal slimes? I'd like to find out too."

Huo Yuhao was stumped by Wang Yan's question. He couldn't very well tell Wang Yan that all the knowledge about slimes came from Electrolux, and that this thing wasn't a metal-attribute slime at all, but a soul-attribute slime, which was hundreds or thousands of times rarer than a metal-attribute slime.

"Um... I can't quite remember, teacher. I'll tell you when I remember."

"All right."

Seeing Huo Yuhao racking his brains but coming up empty-handed, Wang Yan could only nod regretfully.

During Shrek and his group's conversation, Qingya on the auction stage had asked several questions in a row, and the room remained silent.

No one was willing to pay for this slime corpse of unknown origin.

Everyone knew that if they raised their price, the deal would probably go through.

After three bids, the auction gavel fell, announcing that Huo Yuhao had obtained the rare soul-attribute slime corpse, which even Electrolux had only heard of but never acquired.

Of course, in Electrox's words, this thing should be called Living Soul Solution, a top-level ingredient for creating Abominations, the superior beings of the Abomination Giants.

Electrolux clearly told Huo Yuhao that if he had had such a large amount of living soul solution back then, he would never have bothered with something as basic as the bone dragon, which was just a filler item among high-end products.

A perfect Abomination is worth two Bone Dragons of the same level. Not only is its physical attack and defense terrifyingly comparable to that of a Bone Dragon, but it can also wield extremely powerful soul attacks similar to the Roar of the Dead. Its defense against mental resistance is also astonishingly strong, and it has almost no obvious weaknesses.

If a few more Abominations were created, he might have been able to flatten the entire continent back then, and at a much faster speed than he originally was.

The usage of Soul Slime is similar to that of Metal Slime, except that the corpse of Metal Slime can be used to melt various rare metals and fuse them into alloys, while Soul Slime can perfectly fuse various souls together.

This kind of soul aggregate, which has both quality and won't easily crack or collapse, is the essential material for creating Abominations. Without this super-massive soul aggregate, creating Abominations is just wishful thinking; playing with Abominations is about enough.
