Douluo Huo Yuhao: My Clone is Too Self-Disciplined

After a long silence, everyone else turned their attention to the screen, staring intently at this top-tier treasure.

Their eyes mostly revealed greed, after all, no one could resist such a rare treasure.

However, after the previous auction, people have become much more tolerant of such large transactions, and they are not particularly surprised even if the starting price is as high as hundreds of millions.

After all, the previous Lovesick Heartbreak Red had fetched a sky-high price of 360 million gold soul coins. Having witnessed such a figure, they felt there was nothing wrong with the starting price of this 100,000-year-old soul beast embryo reaching 200 million.

Of course, most people just watch and enjoy the spectacle.

After all, who can afford a starting bid of two months? Only a handful of forces present have such financial resources. Not to mention the starting bid, there are very few who can afford the additional ten million gold soul coins.

It's important to understand that a large city in the Star Luo Empire only generates a little over ten million in tax revenue per year, making this an unimaginably high amount.

However, this does not stop people from being greedy for this supreme treasure.

Some forces are very wealthy but lack strength. For example, the former empires of Douluo Continent, such as the Douling Empire, are very rich, but they have few capable experts and are quite weak.

As for the Heavenly Soul Empire, although there are many powerful sects within its territory, many of these powerful sects do not belong to the Heavenly Soul Empire.

Some powerful forces, such as the mighty Body Sect and the former Dragon City, were privately owned and operated. Because each disciple required a vast amount of cultivation resources, their expenses were extremely high.

The Body Sect is a typical example of a sect that has strength but no money.

Therefore, these sects and forces are not thinking about how to win the bid for the item, but rather how to obtain it.

The Star Luo Empire's security is indeed very tight, especially the security of the Starlight Auction House. After all, the Starlight Auction House is the largest auction house in the Star Luo Empire, with an extremely large daily turnover, especially during such a top-level auction.

The Star Luo Empire has appointed several powerful Title Douluos to oversee the region, and this is no joke.

However, these titled Douluo can only guarantee that the VIPs participating in the auction will not be threatened with death within the Starlight Auction House, or even further away within the Star Luo Imperial City of the Star Luo Empire.

However, once outside the capital city of the Star Luo Empire, it is no longer under their jurisdiction.

The faction that won the bid for this treasure will not stay here to absorb it; they will definitely take it away secretly. This is the opportunity for these hyenas.

Those without money were plotting how to snatch it, while those with money were already determined to obtain this top-tier treasure.

As time went by, half an hour quickly passed. Before people could withdraw their greedy gazes at the soul beast embryo, a series of numbers appeared on the screen.

Wearing a long gold dress, with bright eyes and an exquisite appearance, Xu Jiujiu stood elegantly in front of the auction table, holding the auction hammer, her gaze fixed on the screen in front of her, where all the bidders were located.

"I believe that all of you distinguished guests have already seen it very clearly and are quite familiar with this treasure. Now I hereby announce that the grand finale of the top auction, the bidding for the 100,000-year-old soul beast embryo, has officially begun. The starting price is 200 million gold soul coins, and each bid must be at least 10 million."

As soon as Xu Jiujiu finished speaking, the numbers on the screen began to jump wildly, each jump sending shivers down people's spines.

That's ten million gold soul coins, and each bid increases by no less than ten million, yet the number still jumps so fast.

These are big dog owners!
Some powerless individuals can only lament that this world is truly messed up, and there are so many rich people.

The numbers on the screen quickly jumped from 200 million to 300 million, and only began to slow down when the price reached 320 million.

Three hundred million is a threshold. In the entire Douluo Continent and Sun Moon Continent, there are only a few forces that can come up with three hundred million in one go. Once it reaches three hundred million, no matter who it is, they have to carefully consider whether it is worth it.

Two hundred million is the estimated value of this 100,000-year-old soul beast embryo.

A 100,000-year-old soul ring and soul bone each correspond to 100 million, which is quite reasonable.

After all, since the Star Dou Great Forest and Shrek Academy signed the contract, human powerhouses can no longer go to the Star Dou Great Forest to hunt 100,000-year-old soul beasts. If they forcibly hunt 100,000-year-old soul beasts, it means that human soul masters have violated the contract, and Di Tian will launch a beast tide against humans.

Everyone had to carefully consider the extent of Di Tian's wrath.

Therefore, since the contract was signed, there are even fewer Soul Masters capable of obtaining a 100,000-year Soul Ring.

The rarity of 100,000-year soul rings and soul bones has risen to a new level. No matter how much money is involved, people will still buy them, let alone soul beast embryos that can be directly absorbed.

However, once it reaches 200 million, others should think twice, since the remaining value is just the probability of obtaining a second martial soul.

What are the odds? Nobody knows.

It's highly unlikely, but it's possible, though the risk of gambling is very high.

Aside from a few forces that don't value money, they generally won't follow up anymore.

In fact, after the bidding price reached 280 million gold soul coins, no other forces followed suit, except for the Sun Moon Royal Soul Master Academy, which was still bidding.

However, prices are still slowly rising.

The person responsible for this outcome was Huo Yuhao, from VIP Room No. 7, who belonged to the Tang Sect.

"330 million gold soul coins."

Five minutes passed again, and at the very last minute, Huo Yuhao called out another bid. Lin Yao's eyes trembled as she listened, and her hands shook as she added the bid for him.

Three hundred and three hundred million gold soul coins! If this deal goes through, how much of the revenue will she take?

However, Lingyao is destined to only dream about it.

After all, Huo Yuhao was just a shill; he had the money to back him up and was willing to play along with Xiao Hongchen.

As for Huo Yuhao, why does he dare to play like this? One reason is that he has the strength to cover it up. After all, the Star Luo Empire still owes him hundreds of millions, so even if he defaults on the debt, it won't matter.

As for the other reason, it was that he believed Mingdetang had the capability.

For Jing Hongchen, money is indeed just a number. If he makes a few more sets of level-nine soul tools and sells them, the money will come in like a river.

At his level, yes, he lacked nothing—no power, no money, no desires.

Only novelties like 100,000-year-old soul beast embryos could attract his attention, so Jing Hongchen was willing to spend any amount of money. Moreover, most importantly, this soul beast embryo could give his grandson and granddaughter the opportunity to obtain a second martial soul.

Therefore, Jing Hongchen will absolutely not give up.

With his grandfather backing him up, Xiao Hongchen was naturally determined to get his hands on this soul beast embryo.

He might not have that much money on him, but Xiao Hongchen could ask for whatever price he wanted. No matter how much shortfall, the Star Luo Empire would be happy to accept it and let them use soul tools to make up the difference.

However, Huo Yuhao couldn't go too far. If he kept raising the price at lightning speed every time, the other party might become suspicious.

After all, he's the only one who dares to bid against Xiao Hongchen right now, so he can't scare him off.

"Three hundred and sixty million gold soul coins." Xiao Hongchen gritted his teeth and added thirty million directly. Why this number? Because the transaction price of Feng's Acacia Heartbreak Red was three hundred and sixty million gold soul coins, so he just blurted it out.

The other side was sticking to him too tightly, so he directly raised the price by 30 million. Xiao Hongchen didn't feel anything was wrong, after all, he was very sure that he had been targeted.

If someone were to fight him to the death over this soul beast embryo, he certainly wouldn't give in.

One reason was his grandfather's mission, and the other was his male pride.

In front of the woman he loves, he definitely has to be a bit more assertive. Even if Feng likes her, he is second to none in the world, and even activated the legendary immortal herb, Lovesick Heartbreak Red, for her.

However, Xiao Hongchen did not give up his idea of ​​pursuing the wind.

After all, as long as you swing the hoe well, there's no corner you can't dig out.

He was so sure he still had a chance because he was second to none, had no emotional desires, was indifferent to everything, and would never fall in love with anyone.

If the second-best person in the world also likes the wind, then since they are mutually in love, he won't even have the chance to dig a hoe.

Fortunately, it's not second to none.

Laughing at the world, I'm so glad I still have a chance.

So in front of his beloved, he could only try to be presentable and not lose face. Well done!

Be more assertive.

Surely, with the combined wealth of the entire Mingde Hall, they can't possibly fail to snatch a soul beast embryo worth hundreds of millions.

Moreover, it's only 360 million now. Feng can easily pull out 360 million. If he can't get it out of him, it would be too embarrassing.

Meanwhile, Huo Yuhao smiled as he looked at the numbers on the screen, "A 30 million increase in one go, making it 360 million, they really have deep pockets!"

Huo Yuhao smiled, a strange look on his lips, and then shouted out a string of numbers, startling Ling Yao so much that her chest began to heave.

"Four hundred million, let's go all in and see if he bets!"

Four hundred million?
Upon hearing the number, Lingyao's entire body began to tremble; she was clearly terrified.

He hadn't expected Huo Yuhao to go to such lengths, raising the price by 40 million in one go, bringing the auction price to the watershed of 400 million.

An item valued at 400 million is a record that is unprecedented in the history of Douluo Star. Starlight Auction House can be said to have made history.

Moreover, this historical price wasn't the final transaction price. Lingyao knew very well that there was another force on the other side that hadn't given up bidding.

"Four hundred million? Who is it?"

Upon seeing this number, Xiao Hongchen immediately lost his composure and raised the price by 40 million, even more aggressively than him.

At first, Xiao Hongchen thought this person was a shill hired by Xingguang Auction House, who was just raising the price little by little to drive up the price of the longevity embryo. Although he thought it was shameless, Xiao Hongchen didn't take it to heart. After all, Mingde Hall had the strength to do so, and Xingguang Auction House's little tricks were nothing special in his eyes.

He thought that no price increase should be too excessive. If the price was raised to the point that the original owner no longer wanted to bid, then it would be meaningless.

You can tell from the fact that it only took a long time for the other side to bid, and then they added another ten million.

However, it now seems that the force bidding against him is very likely not from the Star Luo Empire.

They weren't shills; they genuinely wanted to obtain this 100,000-year-old soul beast embryo.

Because this price has really reached his bottom line.

Even if all the soul tools they brought were sold, the maximum they could get was 350 million; the rest would have to be transferred back to Mingde Hall.

If I say any more, I'm afraid I won't be able to explain it to my grandfather.

Although he quoted prices as he pleased, the prices were too high, which ultimately wasn't a good thing.

After all, Mingdetang doesn't belong to the Hongchen family; it's just that his grandfather owns the majority of it.

So even he felt a bit burdened after the amount was increased to four hundred million.

He was no longer as arrogant as before.

Four hundred million! The other party clearly really wants it, otherwise they wouldn't have paid such an astronomical price, unless they are certain that they are determined to get this 100,000-year-old soul beast embryo.

The number on the screen froze at 400 million. Xiao Hongchen would definitely bid, but he waited for time to pass.

After all, the current auction price is already astronomical, so he needs to be mentally prepared.

The time allotted for raising the price is five minutes, but since 40 million has been added directly, there is a 20-minute cooling-off period.

"Xiao Hongchen, even Mingdetang would suffer a severe blow at this price. Should we consider reconsidering?"

Chen Ding, the team leader of the Sun Moon Royal Soul Master Academy, looked troubled. He looked at the numbers on the screen and felt a little breathless.

Four hundred million gold soul coins.

How much is his annual salary?
An eighth-level Soul Master, a Soul Douluo-level powerhouse, only earns tens of thousands of gold soul coins annually.

He would have to work for countless lifetimes to accumulate 400 million gold soul coins; he would have to work for tens of thousands of years to save up that much.

This guy, Xiao Hongchen, truly doesn't value money.

As soon as Chen Ding spoke, Ma Rulong, the captain of the Sun Moon Royal Soul Master Academy, also chimed in, "Yes, Xiao Hongchen, don't be too impulsive. This price is already quite unreasonable. Moreover, the lesson of the Acacia Heartbreak Red is right there. Who knows if this 100,000-year-old soul beast embryo can actually help someone obtain a second martial soul!"

Upon hearing Ma Rulong's words, everyone in the room gasped in shock, then stared at the two of them in astonishment.

That's right, Ma Rulong makes a lot of sense.

Although I have already apologized to them repeatedly and promised them that there is absolutely no problem with this last item.

However, after the recent blunder involving 360 million gold soul coins, Starlight Auction House's reputation in the eyes of the Sun Moon Empire had plummeted to rock bottom.

Therefore, Ma Rulong's considerations were entirely necessary.
