Douluo Continent: The Rebirth of Huo Yuhao

Chapter 35 Fusion of the Ice Jade Scorpion Arm Bone

After Xiao Hongchen purchased the 100,000-year-old soul beast embryo for 150 million gold soul coins, the auction came to an end. Today's auction, with the 100,000-year-old soul beast embryo as the grand finale, was sure to be a historic event! Xiao Hongchen and the Sun Moon Empire were naturally the absolute protagonists of this auction.

If Xiao Hongchen can successfully use this soul beast embryo to create a new martial soul, it will be a major breakthrough in the history of human research on martial souls.

However, that's a story for later. At this time, even a powerful team like the Sun and Moon were discussing how to safely send this hot potato—the 100,000-year-old soul beast embryo—back to Mingde Hall.

"Elder Ma, although the Star Luo Royal Family can guarantee the safety of our transaction here, once we leave this place, who knows how many forces will be watching us. I'll have to trouble you. After the transaction is completed, please take the embryo back to Mingdu immediately and entrust it to my grandfather for safekeeping. With the security of Mingde Hall, I'm sure nothing else will happen."

Xiao Hongchen's expression was unusually serious; even he couldn't remain calm in the face of such a treasure.

"That's how it should be. We should still keep a low profile as much as possible. An item worth hundreds of millions is extremely rare in the history of the mainland. I will return it through Mingdetang's secret channels in Xingluo City." Although Xiao Hongchen usually liked to go against Old Ma, Old Ma obviously wouldn't joke about such a thing, and solemnly agreed.

While the discussions were taking place at Mingde Hall, in a lavishly decorated private room, the Star Luo Emperor, who had been sitting atop the city wall when the Soul Battle Tournament began, was listening to his subordinates report on the auction.

When he heard that the 100,000-year-old soul beast embryo had been won by the Sun and Moon faction, a smile appeared on his lips.

"One hundred and fifty million, Master Mingde, I hope you will like this great gift from me." After saying that, he slowly got up and left.

No one knows what conspiracy the Star Luo Emperor is plotting. The Sun and Moon Team has truly stole the show at this auction, not only securing the last two most precious items, but also acquiring half of the first six treasures.

Of the nine items auctioned, five were owned by the Sun and Moon Empire, demonstrating the immense wealth of the Sun and Moon Empire!

After the auction, the items belonging to the Sun and Moon Team were delivered to their private room by staff. Apart from the rare metal and the 100,000-year-old soul beast embryo, the remaining three items were soul bones. Elder Ma immediately distributed two of the soul bones to the students.

The students who came to participate in the competition represent the most outstanding students of the Sun Moon Royal Soul Master Academy and Mingde Hall. The soul bones that were auctioned in the name of the academy should naturally be handed over to them for absorption.

The Ice Jade Scorpion's left arm bone wasn't handed over to Huo Yuhao in public. After all, besides himself, only Elder Ma knew that he possessed two martial souls. Handing it over to Huo Yuhao in public would be an admission of guilt. Elder Ma planned to give the soul bone to him privately back at the hotel.

Back at the hotel, in Huo Yuhao's room, Elder Ma hurriedly handed the soul bone to Huo Yuhao and immediately left to discuss with the other team leader about sending the 100,000-year-old soul beast embryo back to Mingde Hall. One of them would inevitably leave the arena early and return to the Sun Moon Empire.

Left alone in the room, Huo Yuhao stared at the chilling, emerald-green soul bone. Upon closer inspection, he realized how incredibly beautiful it was, like the most exquisite work of art in the world. The shock he felt upon seeing the Ice Emperor's true form was remarkably similar to the shock he had experienced. Huo Yuhao estimated that this soul bone was probably close to 100,000 years old.

Holding the Ice Jade Scorpion Soul Bone in his hand, Huo Yuhao felt an extremely intimate connection emanating from it. He sensed that the Ice Jade Scorpion's left arm bone in his hand seemed to desperately crave his body. Even without Huo Yuhao's prompting, it eagerly wanted to merge into his body.

The Ice Emperor told him in the Sea of ​​Spirit that this was because the Ice Jade Emperor Scorpion's torso had merged with his, and the Ice Jade Scorpion's soul bone sensed the king's aura from him and wanted to join the king's embrace.

If it were any other ultimate Ice Soul Master, even if they could absorb this Soul Bone, it would probably take a great deal of effort.

Huo Yuhao was naturally delighted with this, as it would allow for a more perfect fusion of the soul bone without the pain. The torment he suffered from fusing with the Ice Emperor last time was still fresh in his mind.

Just as he was about to fuse with the soul bone, Ice Emperor suddenly spoke up to stop him: "Yuhao, wait. Absorbing this soul bone might take a while. Guided by my main body's bones, it will release a very powerful energy for you to absorb. You'll probably have to miss the next few matches."

Upon hearing this, Huo Yuhao quickly asked, "How long will it take? If I have to miss many matches, I'll hold off on absorbing the essence for now. I can absorb it when I return to the academy. I absolutely must participate in our match against Shrek Academy!"

"It won't be too long. Judging from the schedule, you'll miss at most two matches, and you should be able to make it to the semifinals by the latest. That is, if your team can win without you." Hyotei never holds back when it comes to speaking.

Huo Yuhao automatically ignored Ice Emperor's last sentence. Shrek Academy and their team were not in the same bracket, meaning they would only meet in the finals. Given the strength of the Sun Moon Team, as long as they didn't encounter Shrek Academy, winning shouldn't be too difficult.

"Alright, I'll go find Elder Ma now." Since he wouldn't encounter Shrek Academy beforehand, Huo Yuhao decided to absorb the soul bone first to increase his strength. This way, he could increase his chances of winning if he encountered Shrek Academy.

……

After completing all the preparations, Huo Yuhao returned to the room and took the Ice Jade Scorpion Soul Bone in his hand.

Just as Ice Emperor said, the Ice Jade Scorpion Soul Bone sensed the king's aura and couldn't wait to throw itself into the king's embrace.

The soul bone in Huo Yuhao's hand and the Ice Jade Emperor Scorpion's torso bone lit up at the same time. The flesh and blood of his upper body could not completely conceal the emerald green radiance. From the outside, Huo Yuhao's body looked like a source of emerald green light.

I'm currently reading the error-free version! This is the first time I've published this novel.

Gradually, his flesh and blood became increasingly transparent, and the dazzling bones of his torso became clearer and clearer, echoing the arm bone in Huo Yuhao's hand, as if they were communicating with each other. And as time passed, the Ice Jade Scorpion Soul Bone slowly melted into the flesh and blood of his left arm…

After an unknown amount of time, the soul bone in Huo Yuhao's hand had long since disappeared. Huo Yuhao's previously transparent body was now covered by bones again, returning him to a normal human appearance, with only his spine and left arm still emitting a greenish glow.

After an unknown amount of time, all the unusual phenomena on Huo Yuhao's body disappeared, and he looked exactly the same as when he was meditating and cultivating. At this moment, Huo Yuhao slowly opened his eyes and felt the changes in his body.
