Douluo Huo Yuhao: My Clone is Too Self-Disciplined

Chapter 471

Huo Yuhao was right. This top-tier auction was only attracting people with the gimmick of this 100,000-year-old soul beast embryo. As for the other treasures, they were just so-so.

Xu Jiawei realized he had made a stupid mistake by asking such a question; he was incredibly foolish.

"It is indeed as Sect Master Huo said. Everyone, including Sect Master Huo, came for this 100,000-year-old soul beast embryo from our Starlight Auction House."

"This soul beast embryo is indeed a legendary treasure, something that can only be encountered once and never be obtained. It's perfectly reasonable that they've all come for this treasure..."

Xu Jiawei wanted to launch into a long speech, but Huo Yuhao frowned. He hadn't come here to listen to Xu Jiawei's nonsense.

"Let's not talk about that for now. Let's get down to business. What does Your Majesty want from me? What kind of help do you need? Just tell me. As long as it's within my power, I will do my best to help."

As soon as Huo Yuhao finished speaking, Xu Jiawei could only feel awkward for a moment, but he quickly regained his imperial demeanor and calmly said,
"Then I won't keep you in suspense any longer. At this auction, we will be selling many high-level soul tools. These are all sold by soul masters of the Sun Moon Empire. We have no right to interfere and can only proceed with the auction normally."

"I hope that during tonight's top-tier auction, Sect Master Huo can bid on all these soul tools for me. At the same time, I also hope that the Huo clan, in your name, will also buy up all the soul tools sold by the Sun Moon Empire in other auction houses. They will definitely sell a large number of soul tools tonight to raise funds. At that time, I will buy them all. Don't worry, I will buy them back from you at a very fair price. I will definitely not let Sect Master Huo suffer a loss."

???

Huo Yuhao's head was buzzing after hearing this; he was completely stunned!

this one?
Is that why you called him over?

Is Xu Jiawei out of his mind? Is he sick in the head?

Does he really need to do such a small thing?

"Your Majesty, you can do this yourself. Why do you need an outsider like me to help you?"

People can actually laugh when they're extremely speechless, and Huo Yuhao laughed, but Xu Jiawei remained expressionless.

"Sect Master Huo, although I can do this, it is easy to arouse the suspicion of Mingde Hall, making them think that this auction is aimed at them, and thus they will sell us inferior soul tools."

“It’s different with you involved. Your Tang Clan is a sect specializing in hidden weapons, so buying some weapons isn’t a big deal.”

"Don't worry, as long as you help, my Star Luo Empire will be extremely grateful. At the same time, I will also reveal a top-secret secret about tonight's auction."

"Top Secret?"

Huo Yuhao sneered inwardly. This old bastard was dishonest, plotting against him here.

All of the previous actions were feints, intended to give the opportunity to reveal the secret.

So all of that was just a pretext. Acquiring soul tools is unimportant; anyone could do that. It's not like he's indispensable. Xu Jiawei must be out of his mind to call him over something so trivial.

Now Huo Yuhao finally understood why; that old rascal was up to no good.

Let's see what he has to say.

"Your Majesty, I'll help you with this. Tonight, I, Huo Yuhao, will consume all the soul tools that have leaked from Mingde Hall, and then I'll give them to you when the opportunity arises. So, what's the secret? I'm really interested."

Hooked.

Xu Jiawei was secretly delighted, seeing that Huo Yuhao was still a child, he had him under his thumb.

"Sect Master Huo, I'm only telling you this because you're a friend. You absolutely mustn't tell anyone; this is a top secret of my Star Luo Empire."

Seeing Xu Jiawei's serious expression, Huo Yuhao could only nod repeatedly.

"Okay, go ahead, I promise I won't tell anyone, I'm a tight-lipped person."

Seeing this, Xu Jiawei finally spoke up, "Actually, this top-level auction was a scam, a scam I devised to target the Sun Moon Empire."

"We have no ability to study that so-called 100,000-year-old soul beast embryo. After we bought that Conferred God Platform, we didn't even dare to open it, for fear that the 100,000-year-old soul beast inside would escape. So how could we possibly identify it?"

"What?" Huo Yuhao exclaimed in surprise.

"You dare to sell this 100,000-year-old soul beast embryo without even having it appraised? You're incredibly audacious."

Huo Yuhao looked at Xu Jiawei, questioned him, and then immediately realized, "So, all the information you spread about this 100,000-year-old soul beast embryo was false?"

Xu Jiawei nodded with a grim expression, "That's right, it was all made up by me. The idea that you can obtain a second martial soul is all fake."

"As for why we dared to do this, it's because of the time difference."

"Anyway, once this soul beast embryo is bought, it won't be absorbed immediately, because there won't be a suitable candidate in a short period of time."

"The energy of a 100,000-year spirit ring is enormous, and a level 70 spirit master cannot absorb it successfully. Only spirit masters who have reached level 90 can absorb a 100,000-year spirit ring."

The forces on the mainland capable of purchasing this 100,000-year-old soul beast embryo generally have their own lineage holders. Once they buy such a treasure, they certainly won't absorb it themselves; they will inevitably give it to the most outstanding descendants of their families.

"Then they'll remain unaware for another ten years or so. That's why I dare to do this. Who knows what the continent will be like in the next ten years? Even if they are eventually discovered, it won't matter. It will just tarnish the reputation of my Starlight Auction House a little."

Huo Yuhao nodded repeatedly after hearing this, his face displaying a rich array of expressions, though it was all an act. How could he possibly not know such a thing?
As a man with a god-like perspective, he knows a lot.

However, since he already knows all this, how could Xu Jiawei's ulterior motives possibly escape his notice?

Huo Yuhao already had some guesses in his mind, and he was just waiting to see what Xu Jiawei would say next.

As expected, after reading it, Xu Jiawei said with a kind expression, "Sect Leader Huo, we are about to start a cooperation, so I can't cheat you, my partner. I can't be so unethical, so I'm giving you a heads-up in advance."

"This 100,000-year-old soul beast embryo cannot allow anyone to obtain a second martial soul. Therefore, it is just a 100,000-year-old soul ring and soul bone, and we don't even know what its attributes are. It's like opening a blind box."

"We've set the starting bid for this 100,000-year-old soul beast embryo at one gold soul coin. The final transaction price is estimated to be between two and three hundred million. With that many gold soul coins, we could hire an entire team of Super Douluo Soul Masters to hunt 100,000-year-old soul beasts in the Star Dou Great Forest, and the price would be much cheaper."

After Xu Jiawei finished speaking, he looked at Huo Yuhao and smiled without saying a word. He knew that Huo Yuhao should understand what he had said.

"So Your Majesty means that I shouldn't be a sucker and shouldn't bid against others for this 100,000-year-old soul beast embryo after the top auction starts tonight, is that what you mean?" Huo Yuhao asked with a smile.

Xu Jiawei nodded repeatedly.
“That’s right, that’s right!” He looked at Huo Yuhao and continued, “Instead of spending so many gold soul coins to buy such an uncertain 100,000-year-old soul beast, why not have your elders hunt a 100,000-year-old soul beast for you? That way you can save hundreds of millions of gold soul coins. Why not?”

Huo Yuhao understood, but inwardly he sneered.

Just as he guessed.

That old fox is really cunning.

They were afraid he would get involved and ruin their plans.

Xu Jiawei's question about his financial resources just now actually reflects a prior assessment of his financial situation.

Smuggling is extremely profitable, especially smuggling Mingde Hall. In addition, Huo Yuhao has a Limit Douluo-level expert protecting him. The wealth and resources of a Limit Douluo are definitely not small.

Therefore, Xu Jiawei speculated that Huo Yuhao was very likely to have the ability to purchase this 100,000-year-old soul beast embryo.

After all, the allure of a second spirit is immense, and no one can resist it.

Having a second spirit is equivalent to having nine spirit rings, which is like being reborn. No spirit master can resist such a temptation.

I believe even a young genius like Huo Yuhao wouldn't do that.

Who wouldn't want a second martial soul!

Although he outwardly cooperates with Huo Yuhao, does he actually not trust Huo Yuhao very much? Both of them are old foxes, scheming against each other.

Xu Jiawei would never allow Huo Yuhao to ruin his plan. His cooperation with Huo Yuhao was only temporary, but his plan concerned the survival of the Star Luo Empire, and he could not afford to be careless in the slightest.

Mingde Hall is essentially the fate of the Sun Moon Empire. Only by severely damaging Mingde Hall can they reap the benefits and take the opportunity to strengthen their own power.

This was their bizarre method of dealing with the Sun Moon Empire; he had no other choice.

This plan must succeed; failure is not an option.

Besides Huo Yuhao, he also has ways to deal with other forces.

Originally, the Temple of Destruction had the ability to purchase this soul beast embryo, but the Holy Son of the Temple of Destruction died, and the surviving Holy Maiden of Destruction had little desire for this soul beast embryo. Therefore, the Temple of Destruction will not participate in this final auction.

All I can say is that Feng Yao did a great job.

As for the accountability for the destruction of the temple, Xu Jiawei didn't care.

After all, Shrek Academy hasn't collapsed yet. If the sky falls, Shrek Academy will be there to hold it up. If it can't hold it up, then we'll see.

Feng Yao is fair and just, and he faces opponents squarely on the battlefield. Moreover, he has never used any other means.

The Destroyer was killed by his own attack; once this is revealed, the truth will be immediately clear.

Even if the Temple of Destruction wanted to attack the Star Luo Empire, they would have to see if the Star Luo Empire had the guts.

Feng Yao did a great job; he has already rewarded Feng Yao handsomely.

After all, Feng Yao killed two birds with one stone, not only winning the game but also helping him solve a big problem.

As for the other entity capable of purchasing this soul beast embryo, the Sea God Temple, Xu Jiawei will soon communicate with them.

No matter the cost, we will not let them buy this soul beast embryo.

Ideally, they would voluntarily withdraw from the bidding. Otherwise, he would have no choice but to offer a discount to the Sun Moon Empire and purchase their soul tool at a high price, so that Mingde Hall would have more working capital to buy the soul beast embryo.

This is a choice he will only make as a last resort, and he will consider it carefully.
