Douluo Huo Yuhao: My Clone is Too Self-Disciplined

As for their Douling Empire, only the Xuanming Sect, which was established later, is worth mentioning, but whether it is worth mentioning is still debatable.

After all, it's only something that can be shown off in the Douling Empire.

Therefore, the Douling Empire did not have a strong pool of Soul Masters. They could only survive by relying on technology and learning from the Sun Moon Empire.

Therefore, what the Douling Empire needs most are rare metals, since they have already analyzed most of the soul guidance technology.

They had mastered most of the knowledge that the Sun Moon Empire had released, but it was of little use because the Sun Moon Empire was changing its dynasties so quickly.

The Star Luo Empire, on the other hand, is still in the stage of analyzing technology, requiring a large amount of basic and advanced knowledge.

Therefore, most of the soul tools smuggled by the Tang Sect ended up in the hands of the Star Luo Empire, a great traitor.

In fact, Huo Yuhao had long wanted to sell the intellectual property rights directly to them, but since they wanted to rely on themselves, there was nothing he could do.

Huo Yuhao couldn't deprive them of their enthusiasm for research!

After all, this is the only way for a civilization to become stronger!
He's made enough money, second only to the world's richest man. He's confident that, apart from his original body, no one in the entire Douluo Continent can offer more money than him.

Even Mingdetang couldn't do that.

During his time in the Sun Moon Empire, he studied many rare and exotic treasures, and the money he earned from them alone was enough to make him incredibly wealthy.

He wanted to see today what kind of astronomical price this mere Soul-Devouring Blood Blade would fetch at auction.

The second-best bidder was about to raise the price, but just then...

He discovered that the screen was completely fixed; no matter how he quoted a price, the number on the screen remained unchanged at ten million.

His face remained expressionless, but a complex look appeared in his eyes.

Interesting, very interesting. It seems that Starlight Auction House has gotten involved.

He was eager to see what would happen next.

Meanwhile, in the room of the Destroyer, the boy looked at the screen and, seeing that there was still no movement, a look of disdain appeared on his face.

"I thought it was something special? This is all? They don't seem to have any real strength!"

He assumed that the second-best bidder couldn't afford the price and would have to give up the auction.

It seems this treasure is ultimately his.

The metal of life possesses a powerful killing intent and evil thoughts, which perfectly counter the destructive power within him.

After being refined, this is simply a perfect weapon.

Moreover, even if it doesn't work, even if he can't use it, he can give it to his sister.

After all, his sister is a life-attribute being, and she and this living metal are a perfect match.

However, just when he thought victory was in his grasp and the Soul-Devouring Blood Blade was about to be his,

The accident happened suddenly.

Inside the Starlight Auction House, the auctioneer on the auction stage was replaced by a young girl dressed in a gold auction outfit.

At the same time, the screen went completely dark and then turned into a question mark.

Soon, the girl's melodious voice rang out.

"Distinguished guests, due to unforeseen circumstances, I will now be taking over this auction."

"I am Xu Jiujiu, the gold-robed auctioneer from Starlight Auction House."

Xu Jiujiu took over the auction from the ordinary auctioneer and took charge of the auction, including the bidding for the Soul-Devouring Blood Blade.

"Because the price of this item exceeds its intrinsic value by a hundred times, in order to avoid unnecessary losses for our guests and to restore the reputation of our Starlight Auction House, we have no choice but to activate our special auction method." Special auction method?
Upon hearing these words, some people in the auction room remained uninterested, but the eyes of a few big shots suddenly lit up.

Although it's called a special auction method, it's actually just a bidding auction.

Everyone puts down a price, and the highest bidder wins.

This is undoubtedly the best solution right now.

If we keep adding these two people, who knows when it will take.

However, most of the people's faces showed confusion.

After all, this Soul-Devouring Blood Blade already belonged to Starlight Auction House, so all the profits from today's auction of this blade belong to Starlight Auction House.

This is Starlight Auction House, why wouldn't they make money? That's not like them!
Could there be some inside story behind this?
In short, everyone had many guesses and couldn't figure out what Starlight Auction House was up to.

However, they were indeed tired of watching this boring bidding process, and it was quite nice to be able to settle the matter with a single hammer blow.

They might also take advantage of the situation to fish in troubled waters.

If you manage to buy it, then sell it at a higher price to one of the two bidders who needs it.

In any case, winning a competitive auction isn't about financial resources, but about luck.

"That's right. I believe everyone knows what the special auction law means, so I won't go into too much detail here. Now, everyone has ten minutes to submit an estimated price. After that, whoever submits the highest price will own this Soul-Devouring Blood Blade."

"A decisive and fair decision. There's no need to worry about Starlight Auction House using any underhanded tactics. After all, allowing everyone to bid freely is the best way for Starlight Auction House to profit."

However, our auction house operates with integrity. For the bid to exceed the item's value by a hundred times is a grave breach of our responsibilities. To mitigate everyone's unnecessary losses, we have no choice but to resort to this measure. We hope for your understanding.

In fact, Xu Jiujiu didn't need to explain, because what she said was indeed true. By letting the auction proceed unchecked, their Starlight Auction House could obtain the greatest profits.

However, they stopped the auction midway, which truly makes them a conscientious auction house.

Everyone knows the answer perfectly well.

The Starlight Auction House wasn't trying to recover its clients' losses; it was just trying to advertise.

All I can say is that they are very clever.

However, Xu Jiujiu did lie.

This unusual auction was a complete and utter scheme.

The Second Under Heaven stared at Xu Jiujiu on the screen with a thoughtful expression on his face. Then, he closed his eyes and gently tapped his fingers on the table.

Interesting, so interesting.

Starlight Auction House must know that the two of them are the ones bidding, and now they've stepped in to stop it and come up with this decisive solution.

The second-best in the world could spot the clues at a glance.

Now he has two choices.

One of them offered 200 million in one go, which is the liquid assets he can immediately come up with. If he wanted more, he would have to sell his things.

However, he believed that he could only come up with 200 million, and no one else could possibly do that.

As for the second one, it's about quietly waiting for a long time before someone brings him the other party's bottom line.

There is only one criterion for these two choices: whether the Star Luo Empire wants to curry favor with him or with that mysterious person.
