The students of Shrek Academy fell silent as they saw the Sun Moon Royal Soul Tool Academy's box bid a million gold soul coins.
Dai Yueheng, in particular, the one involved, had a face that instantly darkened. He glared at Dai Huabin beside him, wanting to curse, but ultimately held back.
Dai Yueheng was certain that if Dai Huabin hadn't been so annoying, the people from the Sun Moon Royal Soul Tool Academy wouldn't have fought with him for the Tyrant Tiger Refining Soul Knife.
The knife itself came from the Hall of Bright Virtue. If they needed it, would they really need to go through the trouble of bleeding money at the auction?
Moreover, it was a well-known fact across the continent that soul tool masters were rich. Although the White Tiger Duke's Manor had been around for countless years, their financial strength still paled in comparison to certain other powers.
Dai Yueheng knew that for nearly a year, the Dai family had been targeted by the royal family. Many of the Dai family's hidden hands and organizations had been eliminated. They were in dire need of money, and now they had to pay extra because of Dai Huabin's idiotic behavior.
The extra money they had to give up would all go to the royal family. Wasn't this just a complete waste of money?
Suppressing his urge to explode, Dai Yueheng took a deep breath and said to the attendant in a low voice, "One million and five thousand."
The moment the attendant called out Dai Yueheng's bid, the number on the screen jumped again, immediately going up to one million two hundred thousand.
Watching that eye-catching number, Dai Yueheng's eyelids twitched violently. He finally understood what it felt like to be disgusted.
At the same time, in a box at the Sun Moon Royal Soul Tool Academy, Huo Yuhao sat calmly on the sofa. He was using his mental detection to monitor Dai Yueheng's reaction, and he wasn't worried about scaring him off at all.
Xiao Hongchen, who was beside him, grinned.
"Excellent, excellent! Just as I expected of my good brother! That guy wants to pull some sneaky tricks? Trying to compete with us in wealth, huh? He's got too much time on his hands!"
Old Man Ma, who was the team leader, was also watching this scene with a smile and didn't have any intention of stopping them.
Relying on the God's-eye view provided by his mental detection, Huo Yuhao constantly observed the subtle changes in Dai Yueheng's expression. He forced the price of the Tyrant Tiger Refining Soul Knife up to two million six hundred thousand gold soul coins, almost causing Dai Yueheng to suffocate from the pain.
However, this was only the beginning.
Later, when the soul guide rays, fixed-mounted soul guide cannonballs, and soul bones appeared, Huo Yuhao used the same tactic, causing Wang Yan and the others to spend twice the original amount of gold soul coins to successfully bid on them.
The atmosphere in the private room where the Shrek Academy students and teachers were was icy. Everyone was resentful of Dai Huabin, who had started the trouble.
If it weren't for him, how would things have escalated to this point?
Wang Yan had made it clear from the beginning: the academy would help them purchase the soul tools and items they needed, but it wasn't charity. They would have to pay it back when the academy needed them in the future!
What if they couldn't pay it back?
That was simple, wasn't it? They could just sell themselves to Shrek!
Shrek Academy had been doing this kind of business for tens of thousands of years!
Otherwise, how could Shrek Academy have held the title of the number one academy on the continent for ten thousand years?
While the people from Shrek were infuriated, Xu Jiujiu brought out the final item for auction: the Ice Jade Scorpion Soul Bone.
This soul bone was completely emerald green, with emerald light flowing and rippling across it, as if there was emerald liquid inside.
Because it was magnified many times, people could feel its strangeness even more. On the surface of this emerald green arm bone, there seemed to be tiny crystals, crystal clear, almost like they were carved from gemstones.
The soul bones that had appeared before paled in comparison to this Ice Jade Scorpion left arm bone; they simply weren't in the same league!
"Damn it!"
The moment Ice Emperor saw the soul bone, she erupted in a frenzy within Huo Yuhao's Sea of Consciousness. Her green pigtails swayed wildly behind her, and her eyes blazed with fury.
Huo Yuhao silently watched as Xu Jiujiu provided a detailed introduction to the soul bone on the screen, but he was actually communicating with Ice Emperor in his Sea of Consciousness. Pubfuture Ads "Ice Emperor, is that left arm bone from your kin?"
The little loli-like Ice Emperor was consumed with rage, wanting nothing more than to rush out and seize the soul bone. She nodded fiercely at Huo Yuhao's question.
"That's right!"
As the ruler of the Ice Jade Scorpion clan, Ice Emperor was naturally enraged beyond measure to see the soul bone left behind after her kin had been slain.
Huo Yuhao looked at the furious Ice Emperor and, after a moment of silence, patted her head, comforting her.
"Alright, Ice Emperor. I told you that when I become strong enough, I will change the way humans and soul beasts have to slaughter each other to survive. Such things won't happen again."
"Since you've become my Soul Spirit, and Xue'er has become my sister, I won't stand idly by while the Soul Beast race suffers."
Bingdi unconsciously rubbed against Huo Yuhao's warm palm, her small face filled with trust and approval.
"I believe you! But Yuhao, our Ice Jade Scorpion clan's Soul Bone is very special. If your martial soul isn't Extreme Ice, then no matter how strong you are, you absolutely won't be able to absorb the Soul Bone!"
Huo Yuhao knew this, but he feigned surprise, looking somewhat troubled.
"It's no problem to bid on it, but don't you already have the Ice Explosion Technique? And Xue'er also knows Ice Explosion. This Soul Bone isn't useful for us."
"Speaking of which, the Soul Spirit method is truly amazing. You've already abandoned your body to become my Soul Spirit, yet you can still comprehend new skills?"
Bingdi's eyes flickered upon hearing this. Originally, she, as the Ice Jade Scorpion clan's ruler, didn't possess the Ice Explosion Technique, a skill considered a divine technique.
But the rewards she'd received over the past few months included, naturally, the Ice Explosion Technique.
Seeing that Huo Yuhao was already suspicious about his gaining the Ice Explosion Technique, Bingdi quickly changed the subject.
"It doesn't matter. You and Xuedi don't need it. You can let that Meng Hongchen use it! After all, she also possesses Extreme Ice and is qualified to absorb this soul bone. Furthermore, letting Meng Hongchen fuse with this soul bone is much better for me than letting it fall into the hands of others."
Seeing that his goal had been achieved, Huo Yuhao pretended to think for a moment and nodded in agreement.
Watching Huo Yuhao leave his sea of consciousness, Bingdi immediately breathed a sigh of relief, patting her chest, which resembled an airport, and inwardly gave herself a thumbs-up for her cleverness.
'I fooled him successfully again. It seems I'm quite smart!'
While Bingdi was praising herself, Huo Yuhao looked at Meng Hongchen and smiled.
"Senior Sister Meng, this soul bone is quite suitable for you; you can bid for it."
In fact, without Huo Yuhao's specific reminder, Meng Hongchen would definitely not want to miss this soul bone. She knew about the Death God's Envoy incident that the Shrek Academy's Supervisory Group had encountered before.
Even the Death God's Envoy's corpse explosion could instantly kill so many strong individuals, let alone the Extreme Ice's Ice Explosion Technique.
As for whether she had enough money to compete with other academies and forces for this soul bone?
Sorry, Meng Hongchen decided to give them a little financial shock.
