Douluo Continent, Huo Yuhao who returned from Sekiro

Chapter 335 Barbarians (8K)

As she spoke, she gestured to the two girls in long gold dresses.

One of the girls walked up to the smooth wall and gently pressed it. Instantly, a soft halo of light shimmered across the entire wall. The light gradually intensified, and the wall slowly transformed into a giant screen.

Seeing this, Huo Yuhao looked at He Caitou in surprise, who couldn't help but ask, "Is this a soul tool?"

Qingya nodded and said, "This is a light-guiding screen that our auction house specially commissioned from the Sun Moon Empire. It can transmit images in a special way. Its core array is not driven by soul power, but comes from a kind of mineral from the Sun Moon Empire."

These words surprised not only He Caitou, but also the other Shrek Academy students.

What does it mean to use ore to power a soul tool? It means that soul masters can use soul tools without expending soul power! This is of immense significance to the world of soul tools.

Huo Yuhao's expression was somewhat solemn. Was the soul guidance technology of the Sun Moon Empire really that outrageous?

Don't underestimate this inconspicuous little gadget.

But it is precisely this little gadget that contains creative ideas and technological value that can completely overshadow the many research achievements of Shrek Academy's Soul Guidance System.

The Sun Moon Empire has already started developing soul-guided optical screens, while Shrek Academy's optical technology has only just begun to develop to the point where they don't even know how to manually assemble high-precision eyepieces.

While the students at Shrek Academy are still learning "Introduction to Optics" and studying the relationship between refraction, reflection, and diffusion, the students at the Sun Moon Royal Soul Master Academy have already begun researching "High-Density Photon Array Color Control," "High Color Gamut Color Simulation," "Backplate Controllable Emission Technology," and "Ore Expansion Functions."

Huo Yuhao couldn't help but feel a bit of a toothache. In terms of technical level alone, the gap between the Sun Moon Empire and Shrek Academy was even greater than that between the Inner Court and Ashina. This gap was like the Inner Court fighting against a newly civilized primitive tribe.

Other teams are already equipped with heavy fire grenades that can fire yellow powder, while our side can't even produce a drop of black powder, let alone yellow powder; at most, we've just learned how to use fire.

Qingya, adept at reading people, naturally noticed their shock and quickly explained with a smile:

"Distinguished guests, please be patient and let me finish. Although this light guide screen is powered by ore, the energy emitted by that ore is very gentle and weak. It cannot drive attack or defense soul tools. It can only perform some very weak functions of soul tools."

Huo Yuhao had no time to listen to what Qingya was saying. He activated his mental detection and scanned the entire internal structure. He was currently making deductions in his mind.

Although the Sun Moon Empire's technology was generationally behind Huo Yuhao's at this time, the good news was that their soul tool was assembled in modules. In other words, Huo Yuhao could work through it module by module, trying to understand the technology used in this thing little by little.

The light guide screen gradually became clearer. Patterns appeared on both sides, while a stage-like area resembling an auction platform appeared in the center. The auction platform, though small, was very clear on the light guide screen.

Just then, the entire room was suddenly enveloped in a layer of gold. Everyone instinctively turned their gaze to the soul guidance screen opposite the sofa.

A soft, non-glaring golden light emanated from the room, obscuring everyone's vision. A faint golden glow also emanated from every corner of the room, instantly adding a touch of nobility to the originally warm and comfortable atmosphere.

In the center of the platform stood a young girl in a long red dress.

The girl looked to be no more than seventeen or eighteen years old, and her beauty was comparable to Jiang Nannan's. Moreover, because she was a few years older than Jiang Nannan, her figure was exceptionally well-developed.

Her long, golden hair was neatly tied into a ponytail, and she wore a faint smile on her pretty face. Her red dress and gauze accentuated her fair skin, giving her a perfect appearance.

"Is it her?"

Huo Yuhao had some impression of this person; when he attended the Soul Master Exchange Conference before, this girl seemed to be sitting in the second row.

"Distinguished guests, I am your auctioneer, Jiu Jiu, and it is my honor to host this top-level auction. Your time is precious, so let's begin the auction. Now, please enjoy our first lot."

As she spoke, she smiled sweetly and performed a complex yet very elegant curtsy, gesturing with her right hand. Instantly, the scene shifted, and an item was displayed on the soul-guided screen covering the entire wall.

The opening remarks, with their concise and to-the-point style, immediately reminded Huo Yuhao of someone.

Even the Star Luo Emperor Xu Jiawei's opening speech at the All-Continent Advanced Soul Master Tournament was so concise and efficient.

Therefore, considering the relationship between the Starlight Auction and the Star Luo Royal Family, as well as the Star Luo Empire court etiquette that Jiu Jiu just performed,

The other party identified themselves as "today's auctioneer, Jiu Jiu," so their name is Xu Jiu Jiu?

Qingya's answer quickly confirmed Huo Yuhao's guess: "Distinguished guests, Auctioneer Jiujiu is the chief auctioneer of our Xingluo Auction House, and also the only gold-level auctioneer. However, she only wears her gold auction attire when there are items worth more than 100 million gold coins among the auction items."

"At the same time, Auctioneer Jiu Jiu is also the youngest sister of the current Emperor. However, she has stated that in the auction house, her identity is simply that of an auctioneer. That is why we do not address her as Your Highness."

really.

A look of understanding appeared in Huo Yuhao's eyes.

"The Tyrant Tiger Soul Refining Blade is an eighth-level close-range soul tool. Its materials are extremely precious, including a right arm bone from a ten-thousand-year-old Tyrant Tiger-type soul beast, which solidifies its soul bone skill, Tyrant Blade Slash. It can also amplify the attack power of similar soul skills by fifty percent."

"Please note, distinguished guests, that when using this precious close-combat soul tool, the Sword Master, each strike will be accompanied by the Overlord Blade Slash effect. This effect can be added to any similar attack soul skill."

"At the same time, guided by the ingenious core magic array and the energy and function contained in the soul bone itself, the soul power consumed by the Overlord Blade Slash is only one-third of that under normal circumstances."

"Unfortunately, this Tyrant Tiger Soul Refining Blade is not a new type of close-combat soul tool. The soul bone in a soul tool cannot be disassembled. In today's world, where new types of close-combat soul tools dominate the field of close-combat soul tools, the value of this soul tool has indeed declined."

"However, this Tyrant Tiger Soul Refining Blade is, after all, from the Mingde Hall of the Sun Moon Empire. I think the name Mingde Hall alone is enough to demonstrate its quality."

"A Soul Saint with seven rings can use this sword. With it, it becomes possible for a Soul Saint to challenge a Soul Douluo who is of a higher level. Five minutes of viewing time."
