Douluo Continent, Huo Yuhao who returned from Sekiro

Chapter 341 Rescuing People from Fire and Water (8K)

Ma Xiaotao immediately took two steps back in alarm, and Jiang Nannan and the other girls also realized this and nervously hugged themselves.

Wang Dong's expression changed drastically, and he placed his hands on the middle of his groin in a panic.

Seeing the nervous looks on Ma Xiaotao and the others, Huo Yuhao shook his head helplessly: "It's not the kind of X-ray vision you're imagining. That kind of X-ray vision doesn't exist in this world."

"Although my martial soul has the ability to see through things, it is a layered kind of seeing through things. Even if I use my martial soul to observe you, I can only see the muscles and bones in your body, and at most I can see if you have any soul bones."

"The kind of X-ray vision you're imagining, where you can see through clothes and look at the body, simply doesn't exist. After all, the human body isn't smooth. All I can see are cross-sections that look bloody. Believe me, you have absolutely no interest in seeing those things."

"To put it simply, they're roughly the fragments of corpses that were shattered by the Grim Reaper's corpse explosion. If you had X-ray vision, what you'd see would be similar to those things, except that your flesh and blood would be more vibrant, and you could even see the movement of your intestines and the beating of your heart."

Huo Yuhao's unvarnished description made everyone feel nauseous, and people like Xixi, Jiang Nannan, and Ling Luochen even felt like vomiting.

The scene caused by the Grim Reaper's messenger triggering the corpse explosion was truly disgusting. When I was chasing the Grim Reaper's messenger, I was highly focused, and at most I only felt that the smell of blood was very pungent, but I was able to overcome it.

But now, Huo Yuhao vividly described the scene that was like hell, and everyone couldn't help but feel nauseous.

Xu Sanshi, who had been envious when he heard that Huo Yuhao had the ability to see through things, immediately deflated. He thought, "I'd rather not have this ability."

"We now give our distinguished guests thirty minutes to relax and enjoy the auction. In thirty minutes, our final and most important auction will begin."

"This auction allows for cash exchange using collateral. We will evaluate the collateral with the fairest possible value. However, a 20% handling fee will be charged for cash conversion. Don't miss this opportunity!"

Soon, the auction for this 100,000-year-old soul beast embryo began.

All eyes immediately turned to Wang Yan and Elder Xuan.

Master Xuan immediately began to play dead, disappearing into a corner. Teacher Wang Yan could only smile wryly at this.

"Don't count on this 100,000-year-old embryo."

Seeing everyone's eagerness, Huo Yuhao quickly offered some advice.

"If you really want a 100,000-year soul ring and soul bone, you might as well go back to the academy and work hard to cultivate. Go back and mess around with the teachers or deans of the inner academy. The price of this embryo will not be less than 100 million gold soul coins, which is almost the same as the annual tax revenue of Shrek City."

"The 100,000-year-old soul beasts in the Star Dou Forest are protected by ferocious beasts from dangerous places and have signed a contract that forbids them from being hunted, but there are other places where there are also 100,000-year-old soul beasts."

"Besides, even if we did buy it, who would use it? You? Me? Or whoever reaches level 90 first?"

Ma Xiaotao added, "Yuhao is right. Even if Elder Xuan grants us the necessary permissions to buy this, it'll probably be decided whoever reaches level 90 first in the inner courtyard. None of us have a chance. Don't forget, Senior Sister is already a Soul Douluo."

"Uh, I wanted to ask, who is Senior Sister?" Wang Dong mumbled as he raised his hand, munching on fruit.

Apart from Beibei, everyone else in the foreign language department also looked on with curiosity.

They didn't even know the senior sister's name.

"Zhang Lexuan, the undisputed number one in the inner academy, and the owner of a 100,000-year soul ring."

Ma Xiaotao only explained up to this point, and everyone immediately understood. The 100,000-year soul ring on Senior Sister Zhang Lexuan's body was probably from the soul beast that caused the tragedy when Elder Xuan led the team and encountered a 100,000-year soul beast.

Everyone fell silent for a moment, unsure of what to say. The room was completely still. Fortunately, Huo Yuhao quickly noticed something interesting and broke the silence by speaking.

"This thing looks good, but it's actually overpriced. This is probably a trap that Star Luo specifically planted for the Sun Moon Empire."

Huo Yuhao's words surprised everyone. What did he mean by that?

Huo Yuhao pointed to the embryo, whose price had been driven up to a staggering 120 million.

"Look at the number in the bottom right corner of the screen. Right now, only the Sun Moon Royal Soul Master Academy and the Body Sect are making bids."

"Room number seven is the number of our private room, number nine is the Nine Treasure Glazed Tile School, and the owners of rooms five, three, and one are the Sun and Moon Sect, the Body Sect, and the Star Luo Sect, respectively."

"Guests from the Nine Treasure Glazed Tile School and the other private rooms only made a symbolic offer. The only one bidding against the Sun and Moon Sect was the Body Sect."

Xu Jiujiu had deliberately set aside half an hour beforehand to allow the guests in the private rooms to exchange money by mortgaging it. It seemed like he just wanted to sell it for a higher price, but in reality, he was probably just betting that the Sun Moon Academy, which was going to participate in the All-Continent Advanced Soul Master Competition, didn't bring enough money.

After all, who would carry around a hundred or two hundred million gold soul coins for no reason?

In this way, the Star Luo Empire could appear in a benevolent manner and save the Sun Moon Royal Soul Master Academy from its dire straits.

High-level soul tools, high-level soul tool blueprints, and rare metals can all be exchanged for money, with only a 20% handling fee.

Thinking of this, Huo Yuhao couldn't help but curse inwardly, "The Star Luo faction is really damn shady."

After all, a set of advanced soul tool blueprints is often something that money can't buy, and the same goes for rare metals. Even if they were sold at the market price, Xingluo would still be getting a great deal. And yet, they still have to take a 20% commission.

Moreover, the ninth-level soul tool, the Conferred God Platform, must have come from the Sun Moon Empire. Even if it's just to find out this traitor, the Sun Moon Empire has to bite the bullet and buy it back.

Hearing Huo Yuhao's analysis, everyone nodded in understanding.

The subsequent auction results did not surprise Huo Yuhao.

After a long battle between the Sun Moon Royal Soul Master Academy and the Body Sect, Xiao Hongchen ultimately won the bid for a staggering 150 million.

The Star Luo Empire successfully acquired a large number of soul tools, blueprints, and rare metals from Mingde Hall as payment for its debts.

As the auction concluded, the secret passages to the various VIP rooms were opened.

Just as everyone was about to leave, Qingya quickly approached Huo Yuhao, bowed, and said, "Mr. Huo, would you mind staying a moment? It won't take up too much of your time. It's the big boss of our Starlight Auction House who wants to express his gratitude to you. He's on his way now."
