Douluo: Huo Yuhao Returns from Devouring the Stars

"While using my mental power to capture the spiritual energy between heaven and earth to assist in my soul power cultivation, I didn't expect that in just over a month, my soul power would increase by one level, reaching level 44!"

Huo Yuhao felt the powerful soul power in his body and couldn't help but feel emotional.

At this rate, he would be able to become a Soul King in less than a year.

"Ever since my physical fitness was tempered by the Gold of Life, the speed of cultivating my genetic energy has also increased significantly, but I still have a long way to go before reaching the God of War level."

Huo Yuhao sighed and began today's genetic energy training.

He struck a posture with his five hearts facing the sky, and the scarce and weak cosmic energy slowly flowed into his body through the soles of his feet, the palms of his hands, and the Baihui acupoints on the top of his head. Part of the cosmic energy was transformed into genetic energy through the mitochondria, and part of the cosmic energy was transformed into spiritual energy, that is, spiritual power, through the source of spiritual power in his sea of ​​consciousness.

Since the amount of cosmic energy that the body can absorb every day is limited, Huo Yuhao only practiced for more than half an hour before completing the cultivation of genetic energy.

"It's a pity it's not convenient here, otherwise it would be great to practice the Nine-Layer Thunder Blade to stretch my muscles. To fully comprehend the Sixth Layer, there's still a long way to go..."

Huo Yuhao stood up, moved around the room briefly, took a shower, and then went to the team meeting room.

Although the teams that advanced from the round of 16 to the quarterfinals were very weak and could be easily dealt with, they would definitely face strong teams in the quarterfinals and the semifinals, so it was necessary to do their homework in advance and be prepared for any changes.

Yu Yu informed all team members last night that they must gather in the conference room this morning to discuss various issues that need to be paid attention to in the upcoming promotion matches and formulate corresponding response strategies.

When Huo Yuhao arrived at the conference room, everyone else had already arrived. Yu Yu, sitting in the main seat, seemed to have been waiting for him for a long time.

Huo Yuhao found a seat next to Meng Hongchen and sat down, listening quietly to Yu Yu's analysis of each team and the corresponding response strategies.

"The opponents advancing from the round of 16 to the quarterfinals are relatively weak, so we can just play according to the round-robin strategy. Our main task today is to analyze the seeded teams that are expected to compete for the championship, especially the Xingluo Royal Team and the Shrek Team."

Yu Yu sat in the main seat, glanced around, and continued, "Let's analyze the Shrek team first."

"According to the data I spent a fortune to find, combined with my battle records, the Shrek team's subsequent team battle lineup is basically fixed. It will consist of two Soul Emperors, one Soul King, and four Soul Lords with dual spirit fusion skills, or two Soul Masters replacing two of the Soul Lords. As for the individual competitions, these players will also be on the field."

"The two Soul Emperors are Ma Xiaotao and Dai Yueheng, the son of the White Tiger Duke of the Xingluo Empire. Ma Xiaotao is a Battle Soul Emperor of approximately level 67, with the Evil Fire Phoenix as her martial soul. She harbors the Phoenix Evil Fire within her body, so in order to suppress it, she cannot unleash her full combat power. Her strength is roughly comparable to that of an ordinary Soul Emperor of level 63 or 64."

Huo Yuhao frowned, hesitated for a moment, and then raised his hand.

"Yuhao, what do you want to say?" Yu Yu looked at Huo Yuhao and asked curiously.

Chapter 81 It makes sense that we have a spirit fusion skill

"Yuhao, what do you want to say?" Yu Yu looked at Huo Yuhao and asked curiously.

"Teacher Yu, I've read the information you've collected. This Soul Emperor named Ma Xiaotao has the Phoenix Evil Fire hidden in her body. Under normal circumstances, she would suppress the evil fire, but our subsequent battles will basically affect the championship of this competition. Given the Shrek team's determination to defend the Shrek Academy's eternal glory, what if she gives up suppressing the Phoenix Evil Fire in a team battle and unleashes even more powerful combat power?" Huo Yuhao glanced at Lin Xi and asked bluntly.

If he remembered correctly, in the original novel, when the Sun-Moon Royal Team played against the Shrek Team, Lin Xi was directly killed by Ma Xiaotao in the team battle. Although the Sun-Moon Royal Team won the team battle, this indirectly led to the subsequent disastrous defeat in the individual competition, and the key that was within reach was handed over to others.

In the original novel, Wang Yan said that the Shrek team's loss in the team battle was the result of his deliberate planning. In the original novel, the Sun and Moon Royal Team suffered heavy losses in the team battle, which resulted in Lin Xi and Xiao Hongchen being unable to play in the subsequent individual competitions, thus leading to a disastrous defeat in the individual competitions. It is hard not to believe that Shrek was suspected of intentional homicide in the team battle.

This time he is in the Sun and Moon Royal Team. He can't just watch the tragedy of the team battle in the original book unfold, right?

Yu Yu pondered for a moment and asked, "Then what do you think we should do?"

Huo Yuhao said without hesitation, "I suggest that Meng Hongchen and I hold her captive. Meng Hongchen's ice attribute is enough to counter her Phoenix Evil Fire. If she unleashes all of her evil fire, her combat power will double, which will be a disaster. Perhaps I can help then."

Except for Yu Yu and the Hong Chen siblings, everyone else looked at Huo Yuhao in confusion, somewhat bewildered.

What Huo Yuhao displayed in front of them were his Spirit Eyes martial souls, and their first and second soul skills, so it was normal that they did not know Huo Yuhao’s true strength.

Yu Yu nodded, picked up a pen and quickly wrote down the questions that Huo Yuhao had just raised in his notebook.

"Originally, I was planning to let Meng Hongchen compete in the subsequent individual competitions, but after listening to your analysis, it makes sense. If we can easily win the team battle, we can also retain our combat power to participate in the subsequent individual competitions. It seems that I need to reconsider the strategy I previously conceived."

After saying this, Yu Yu described each of Ma Xiaotao's soul skills in detail. Only after he had analyzed Ma Xiaotao's soul skills almost completely did he turn to the second page of the folder in front of him.

"The other Soul Emperor in the Shrek team is the eldest son of Duke Baihu, Dai Yueheng. His martial soul is the Netherworld White Tiger, and he is a level 64 Battle Soul Emperor..."

"Dai Yaoheng's brother, Dai Huabin, and his fiancée Zhu Lu, are both Soul Masters at the Soul Venerable level. They possess the Soul Fusion Technique, Netherworld White Tiger. The characteristic of this Soul Fusion Technique is..."

"Tang Shan and Wang Dong, both of them are from the Haotian Sect and have twin spirits. When they were fighting against Zhengtian Academy, they used their spirit fusion technique. This spirit fusion technique can be described as flying a kite. The Blue Silver Emperor Vine is the string, and the Goddess of Light Butterfly is the kite..."

Listening to Yu Yu's description of Tang Shan and Wang Dong's martial soul fusion technique from the main seat, Huo Yuhao couldn't help but sigh in his heart:

"It's still God King Tang who knows how to play. Scorpion and Hammer can use a 100% fusion of martial arts skills, and now he has used the martial arts fusion skills of grass and butterfly. It's really amazing wisdom..."

Thinking of this, Huo Yuhao couldn't help but look at Meng Hongchen beside him. The two completely unrelated martial souls, Scorpion and Hammer, could release a 100% fusion martial soul fusion technique. The two martial souls, Grass and Butterfly, which had nothing to do with each other, could also release a martial soul fusion technique. Then could he and Meng's Zhu Qing Bing Toad also try it?

The Ice Blue Emperor Scorpion and the Zhuqing Ice Toad are both beast spirits, and both have ice attributes. It should be easier to understand why they can release spirit fusion skills, right?

Soon, Yu Yu described and analyzed the basic information and soul skill characteristics of each member of the Shrek team. After letting everyone discuss it, he began to predict the selection of players when the Shrek team played against their team. After the prediction, he discussed tactical issues with everyone.

Yu Yu had just finished recording the key points of the discussion when the doorbell of the conference room suddenly rang.

Ma Rulong, who was near the door, opened it only after getting Yu Yu's permission.

Standing at the door was a woman in a black long dress. She looked to be about 28 or 29 years old. She had a mature charm and was full of youthfulness.

Yu Yu, Huo Yuhao, and the Hong Chen siblings all knew her. That woman was Qingya, the host of the auction in Auction Hall No. 12 of the Starlight Auction House before the round-robin tournament.

Qingya gathered her thick hair, her eyes fell on Yu Yu, and she said apologetically, "I'm sorry, Mr. Yu, and all the contestants, I'm really sorry for disturbing you."

Yu Yu stood up with a gentle expression and said, "Come in, what do you want to talk to us about?"

Qingya nodded, walked into the conference room, and said apologetically, "Let me introduce myself first. I'm Qingya, the auctioneer from the Starlight Auction House."

"It's like this. Last time, someone bought an item at our Starlight Auction House using a card from the Sun-Moon Empire. So I guessed you might have patronized our Starlight Auction House. I didn't expect that I was wrong. It wasn't you. I'm so sorry."

"However, our Starlight Auction House happens to be holding a top-tier auction tonight, and I've prepared fifteen invitations in advance. How about Qingya give these fifteen invitations to you all as an apology for disturbing you all?"

Qingya paused and continued, "Our Starlight Auction House only holds two or three top-tier auctions each year. The items that appear at these top-tier auctions are all extremely valuable. Tonight's top-tier auction will feature ten extremely valuable items. If you're interested, you can go and take a look. You might find something you're looking for."

"In that case, let us first thank Qingya auctioneer for the invitation." Yu Yu said with a faint smile.

Those who can go to top auctions are basically big names such as princes, nobles, wealthy businessmen, etc. It would be great if you could take your team members to visit top auctions and relax before the qualifying rounds.

"Okay, then Qingya will be waiting for you all to come to our Starlight Auction House tonight."

Qingya said with a hint of apology, and then placed a stack of invitations on the conference table.

"Teacher Yu, everyone, I won't bother you anymore. I'm sorry again."

Qingya bowed slightly, performed the ceremony, and then slowly walked out, closing the door carefully.

Yu Yu stood there for a moment, then went over to pick up the invitation on the table and took a look. He said delightedly, "These are truly invitations to a top-tier auction. I didn't expect Miss Qingya to give us fifteen invitations. It seems the people behind this Starlight Auction House really want to make money from us."

"Teacher Yu, why don't we go for a walk? It's boring to stay in the hotel. The upcoming qualifying matches will be very stressful. Why don't you give us some time to relax?" Meng Hongchen suggested.

"Yes, Teacher Yu, the invitations have been delivered. It would be a shame not to take a look. It's a top-tier auction..."

Facing everyone's suggestions, Yu Yu nodded and said, "Since you all want to go and take a look, then go and take a look. It will be a reward for you before you advance to the next round."

Chapter 82 Someone steals the house

evening.

The entire Sun and Moon Royal Team set out for the Starlight Auction House.

After arriving at the Starlight Auction House, Qingya auctioneer, who had been waiting at the door for a long time, took them to Auction Hall No. 1 of the Starlight Auction House.

The decoration inside Auction Hall No. 1 is luxurious, and the advanced soul guides installed inside are quite similar to the modern style of Mingdu.

The bidders who come here all have their own independent auction rooms. After Qingya brought all the members of the Sun and Moon Royal Team into the specially arranged room, she carefully explained the rules of the top auction.

After chatting with Yu Yuchang for a while, Qingya asked expectantly, "Teacher Yu Yu, our Xingguang Auction House is planning to open an auction house in Mingdu. Do you have any suggestions?"

"Opening an auction house in Mingdu?" Yu Yu smiled and said, "The land prices in Mingdu are very high, and there are many auction houses in the empire in Mingdu. The competition is very fierce. This is not very friendly for you."

Qingya gathered her thick hair and smiled slightly. "We at the Starlight Auction House are not afraid of competition. We believe in our own strength. We all know that the soul guides of the Sun-Moon Empire are extremely advanced, and our Star Luo Empire also has many unique products. Through the auction house as a channel, we can not only sell your country's soul guides to the Douluo Three Kingdoms, but we can also auction the rare items of the Douluo Three Kingdoms to Mingdu. This is a win-win situation."

"That's true. The empire has long wanted to spread the advanced soul guides we developed to various countries on the continent, so that the people and soul masters can enjoy the benefits of soul guide technology. Unfortunately, there has been no good channel. If the Starlight Auction House can be the pioneer, we will naturally support it." Yu Yu said with a faint smile.

It is true that Douluo Three Kingdoms can enjoy soul guides, but it is also true that the Sun and Moon culture can be spread through soul guides. As for advanced soul guides and advanced soul guide technology, it is definitely impossible for them to flow to Douluo Three Kingdoms.

If the Starlight Auction House wants to gain a foothold in Mingdu, in addition to the soul bones that are priceless, it must also auction rare metals from the Douluo Three Kingdoms. Otherwise, it will have almost no competitiveness. If you want to open an auction house in Mingdu, especially an auction house outside the empire, the pressure is not small.

Just as the two were about to talk further about opening the auction house, the room was suddenly filled with a layer of golden light. A halo of light flashed on the soul guide display screen opposite the sofa, and every corner of the room was flashing with a golden light that was not dazzling. The originally warm room had a more noble feeling.

Qingya reminded with a smile: "Dear guests, our auction today is about to begin."

Everyone nodded and looked at the soul guide display screen. A melodious voice suddenly rang out, "Welcome, distinguished guests, to our Starlight Auction House's top auction. Today, we will present nine top-quality items to you, and we will display them in order of value from lowest to highest. We hope you will enjoy them."

As the soul guide display screen regained clarity, an auction table filled with white mist appeared on the screen, and a girl in a red dress stood on the auction table.

The girl looked to be seventeen or eighteen years old. She was extremely beautiful, with a figure that could captivate a country and make fish sink to the bottom of their chests and geese fall to the ground. Her looks were comparable to Meng Hongchen's. She was a few years older than Meng Hongchen and had a more mature figure, giving people a feeling of near perfection.

"Dear guests, I am tonight's auctioneer, Jiujiu. It is my honor to host this auction. Now, let's begin with our first item of the day."

As he spoke, Jiujiu smiled slightly and made a gesture of invitation, and a soul guide device appeared on the soul guide display screen.

Yu Yu stared at the eighth-level soul guide device on the soul guide display screen with a strange look on his face, and couldn't help frowning. He thought to himself that it seemed that he had to report to the empire when he returned and let the top leaders strictly control high-level soul guide devices. Those soul guides dared to circulate eighth-level soul guide devices on the underground black market. They were really becoming more and more rampant.

In the Sun-Moon Empire, the circulation of low- and medium-grade soul guides to the Douluo Kingdoms via the black market was tacitly permitted. This was because the circulation of these low- and medium-grade soul guides to the Douluo Kingdoms not only earned the manufacturers considerable profits, but also allowed the Douluo Kingdoms to witness the advanced soul guides of the Sun-Moon Empire. Furthermore, rare metals from the Douluo Kingdoms would also be sold on the black market to the Sun-Moon Empire, which was beneficial to the Sun-Moon Empire in every way.

But the current situation is that some unruly senior soul masters have brought high-level soul guides that the empire has expressly prohibited from entering the black market into the black market.

The most typical example is the eighth-level soul guide device on the soul guide display screen, the Tyrant Tiger Soul Refining Sword!

Looking at the Tyrant Tiger Soul Refining Sword on the soul guide display screen, all the members of the Sun and Moon Royal Team looked at each other in disbelief. Someone actually dared to sell an eighth-level soul guide device on the black market. According to the strict laws of the empire, they would be beheaded!

Qingya looked at Auctioneer Jiujiu on the soul guide display and introduced: "Auctioneer Jiujiu is Princess Xu Jiujiu. She is the current emperor's most beloved sister. She is the only gold-level auctioneer in our Starlight Auction House."

Everyone looked at each other in surprise. They didn't expect that this top auction would be hosted by a princess. It was worthy of being the top auction of the Xingluo Empire!

Just as everyone was shocked by the grandeur of the Starlight Auction House's top auction, Xu Jiujiu's elegant and clear voice rang out again.

"The first lot is an eighth-level melee soul guide, the Tyrant Tiger Soul Refining Blade. It contains a piece of the right arm bone from a ten-thousand-year-old Tyrant Tiger Beast. Its solidified skill is Tyrant Blade Slash, and it also increases the attack power of similar soul skills by 50%."

"Also, distinguished guests, please note that when using the Tyrant Tiger Soul Refining Sword, each strike will have the added effect of Tyrant Sword Slash. This effect can be combined with similar soul skills to achieve astonishing attack results. Secondly, through the guidance of the exquisite soul guidance array and the energy contained in the soul bone, the user only needs to consume one-third of the soul power required under normal circumstances!"

"Finally, it's worth mentioning that it came from the Mingde Hall of the Sun and Moon Empire. The three words 'Mingde Hall' are enough to illustrate its quality."

"The Tyrant Tiger Soul Refining Knife is suitable for Soul Masters or Soul Instructors above Soul Sage level. It can greatly improve their close combat capabilities. The viewing time is five minutes."

After a long introduction, everyone in the room looked at each other and saw the shock in each other's eyes. They had previously thought that this high-level soul guide was made by a "wild eighth-level soul guide" in the empire, but they didn't expect it to come from Mingde Hall.

Xiao Hongchen, who usually has a playful face, now has a stern expression and a cold look in his eyes. As the grandson of the master of Mingde Hall, no one knows the rules of Mingde Hall better than him.

Putting the eighth-level Tyrant Tiger Soul Refining Sword up for sale clearly shows that someone in Mingde Hall is challenging the rules and the laws of the empire.

If left unchecked, it may lead to disaster in the future.

If you dare to take the risk of selling an eighth-level soul guide today, you will dare to steal a ninth-level soul guide tomorrow, and become a spy for the empire the day after tomorrow!

Soon, five minutes passed. The Tyrant Tiger Soul Refining Sword started at a base price of 680,000 gold soul coins and was sold for 1.2 million gold soul coins.

The second lot, according to Xu Jiujiu's introduction, is a set of twelve extremely precious fixed-type soul guide shells, and he claims that even if Mingdetang wants to put together this set of fixed-type soul guide shells, it will be extremely difficult!
