Douluo Continent, Huo Yuhao, the villain from a parallel world

"What are the conditions?"

Huo Yuhao asked directly.

If the soul bone were to be given to him directly, there would be no need to call him over to discuss it; there must be some additional conditions attached.

Xu Jiawei cleared his throat and said, "I hope that as you grow up, you will not help the Sun Moon Empire invade any country, including the Star Luo Empire."

"Of course, I'm not asking you to stop the Sun Moon Empire from doing anything; just don't help them."

This was the best solution Xu Jiawei could think of, provided Huo Yuhao agreed.

As a member of the Sun Moon Royal Soul Master Academy, it won't be so easy to win Huo Yuhao over.

One soul bone is definitely not enough to solve it.

Only those with the ultimate ice element can fuse with this soul bone. Rather than letting it sit unused, it's better to put it to good use.

Joining a particular academy in the Douluo Continent does not necessarily mean serving the empire to which the academy belongs, let alone participating in wars.

The value of this soul bone is still very high, and Xu Jiawei felt that the conditions proposed were reasonable.

If Huo Yuhao grows up smoothly, he will definitely become the strongest person on the Douluo Continent in the future.

Xu Jiawei only wanted such a powerful figure, someone who would stop targeting the Star Luo Empire in the future.

In this way, they might still have a slight chance of winning the war against the Sun and Moon Empire.

Huo Yuhao nodded without hesitation upon hearing Xu Jiawei's words.

"Okay, I agree to this condition."

Chapter 196 Ling Luochen, disheartened after obtaining the soul bone.

Huo Yuhao didn't hesitate at all when faced with Xu Jiawei's request.

He simply doesn't care about this matter.

Back in his world, he was bewitched by Xu Tianran and helped the Sun Moon Empire conquer cities and territories on the Douluo Continent. Later, that scoundrel Xu Tianran even discarded him after he had served his purpose.

Now that they've come to another world, Huo Yuhao naturally can no longer help Xu Tianran do such things.

He himself was not a member of the Sun Moon Empire, and had no obligation to help the Sun Moon Empire invade other countries.

Therefore, he felt no burden in agreeing to this request.

Xu Jiawei's request even suited his wishes.

It satisfies my desires and I can also obtain a top-tier soul bone.

Why wouldn't Huo Yuhao be happy to do it?

"You agreed?"

Xu Jiawei was caught off guard by the quick agreement.

Xu Jiujiu, who had been listening from behind Huo Yuhao, was also quite surprised.

This is a major issue involving two countries; why did Huo Yuhao agree so easily?

The feeling was so refreshing that neither of them felt it was real.

Xu Jiawei paused, then couldn't help but ask with a hint of doubt, "Are you serious? If you just agreed casually..."

Xu Jiawei didn't elaborate on the threats, but it was something like if Huo Yuhao regretted his decision, the Star Luo Empire would retaliate against him at any cost.

"Heh, it seems His Majesty the Emperor has some misunderstanding about me?"

"I don't have as much sense of belonging to the Sun Moon Empire as you think. I have no interest in helping the Sun Moon Empire invade other countries."

"Even if you didn't make this condition, I most likely wouldn't help them invade other countries."

"Of course, if His Majesty goes back on his word because of this and doesn't give me the soul bone, things might change."

Huo Yuhao smiled and spoke in a very calm tone, but his words carried a threatening undertone.

Upon hearing this, Xu Jiujiu was terrified.

Huo Yuhao actually dared to say such things in front of her brother; it has to be said, it was truly insane.

After all, even powerful figures at the Title Douluo level maintained a respectful attitude in front of her brother.

Xu Jiawei's expression stiffened slightly as he looked at Huo Yuhao, who was smiling and showed no fear whatsoever.

My emotions were also very complicated.

The fact that Huo Yuhao dared to say such things in front of the emperor shows that this person has absolutely no respect for him whatsoever.

Logically speaking, such a person should appear arrogant and conceited, without any guile.

He had never seen someone who had not yet matured dare to speak so arrogantly in front of a Title Douluo-level powerhouse.

But Huo Yuhao dared to do it, and he wasn't afraid at all after he did it.

For a moment, Xu Jiawei couldn't understand whether Huo Yuhao was just too foolish, or if he really had the confidence to do so.

For some reason, he preferred the latter.

Composing himself, Xu Jiawei said calmly, "I hope you can remember the promise you made."

Then, he turned his gaze to Xu Jiujiu: "Alright, let's do it this way."

"We had our own people auction off that soul bone and then give it to Huo Yuhao."

"Yes." Xu Jiujiu nodded quickly and then gestured for Huo Yuhao to proceed.

Huo Yuhao didn't say much and walked directly towards the door.

Xu Jiujiu and Huo Yuhao walked together toward Auction Hall No. 9.

"After we finish dealing with the auction, we will present that soul bone to you with both hands."

After finding the location, he stopped and spoke after a long while.

After saying that, she quickly left.

If one's own people auction off the soul bone, the impact of the soul bone can be minimized. However, it must be done in the best way possible to avoid revealing any clues.

Therefore, she had to find a good excuse to deal with the VIPs who wanted to auction off the soul bone, and try to minimize the impact.

After Huo Yuhao returned safely to the auction hall, everyone inside breathed a sigh of relief and took their seats to watch the upcoming auction.

Inside Auction Hall No. 7, most of the Shrek Academy students were staring at the Soul Guidance Screen with great boredom.

After all, most of them couldn't use this soul bone; only Ling Luochen, an ice-attribute soul master, needed it.

Ling Luochen looked at the soul guide screen anxiously, hoping that the auction could be restarted as soon as possible so that she could obtain the soul bone quickly.

She was genuinely afraid that something might happen to this soul bone that could greatly enhance her strength.

Soon, the anticipation on her face turned into joy.

Because the image on the soul guide screen changed again, Xu Jiujiu's figure reappeared.

She still had a smile on her face, as if nothing had happened and she was just letting everyone take a good look at this soul bone.

"Having seen the artifact just now, all the distinguished guests must now understand this soul bone. So without further ado, let the auction begin."

"The starting bid for the Ice Jade left arm bone is 1500 million gold soul coins, and each bid must be at least 5 gold soul coins higher."

Xu Jiujiu smiled and announced the auction rules for the Ice Jade Scorpion Soul Bone.

The Shrek Academy students were taken aback by the exorbitant price.

Wang Yan was also shocked. If they really wanted to get this soul bone, Shrek Academy would have to pay a huge price.

After all, although Shrek Academy controls Shrek City, the city's annual tax revenue is only a few hundred million gold soul coins.

This treasure, worth tens of millions, can truly be described as a priceless gem.

Wang Yan dared not make a decision about this level of money lightly.

He turned his head stiffly and glanced at it, while Xuanzi, who was hiding in the shadows, seemed to have understood his hint and spoke to him again.

"Go for two rounds. If it really doesn't work, then give up. The academy can't possibly spend that much money to buy such an expensive soul bone for a student."

After receiving Xuanzi's instructions, Wang Yan also tried to follow the price twice.

However, after two rounds, the soul bone had already reached a sky-high price of 20 million, and Wang Yan was hesitant to continue bidding.

"Give up," Xuanzi said helplessly.

Wang Yan turned to Ling Luochen with a helpless expression and said, "The price has already reached this point, and the academy can no longer keep up."

Ling Luochen's eyes flashed with resentment, but there was nothing she could do; she knew the price was simply too high.

"It's alright, thank you Teacher Wang for trying to help me with the auction," Ling Luochen said with a forced smile.

Chapter 197 The Elimination Rounds Begin, Shrek Academy with High HP

Even after Shrek Academy withdrew from the auction, the price of this soul bone continued to rise.

The Ice Explosion Technique is a divine skill that can greatly enhance any ice-attribute Soul Master.

Therefore, many people are sticking to the price and trying to acquire this soul bone.

At that price, just as it reached 25 million, the people from Starlight Auction House finally made their move, raising the price directly to 30 million gold soul coins.

Such an exorbitant price makes it inaccessible to everyone.

After all, such a large amount of gold soul coins is enough to buy a medium-sized city, and it's not something that just any force can easily produce.

Many people wouldn't spend that much money on a soul bone.

"3000 million gold soul coins, for the third time!"

After uttering those words, he smiled and lowered the hammer after a long while.

And so, everything settled down. The problematic soul bone was personally auctioned off by the Starlight Auction House and would eventually fall into Huo Yuhao's hands.

Inside the Shrek Academy auction room, Ling Luochen, having lost the soul bone he desired, sat there blankly, his face filled with disappointment.

The others, witnessing this scene, dared not utter a word, their expressions turning grave.

"Yes, that's it." Tang Wutong looked at the numbers appearing on the big screen with some excitement.
