Douluo Huo Yuhao: My Clone is Too Self-Disciplined

Xiao Hongchen listened to their remarks and found them rather noisy.

There's absolutely no need to worry about this, since he won't be absorbing this 100,000-year-old soul beast embryo for the time being.

After buying it, he will give it to his grandfather to study.

Decades later, when his cultivation level broke through to level ninety and he needed to absorb this soul beast embryo, the Star Luo Empire had already ceased to exist.

He is Jing Hongchen's grandson and the young master of Mingde Hall. Others have little concept of the power of the Sun Moon Empire, but he is different.

He knew very well that the Sun Moon Empire was quite powerful.

The reason why the Sun Moon Empire has not yet launched an invasion of Douluo Continent is because the power struggle within the royal family of the Sun Moon Empire is not yet over. The princes of the royal family are vying for power, and the Sun Moon Empire will launch a war once the change of imperial power is complete.

Based on the information he currently has, that day is not far off; it could be a few years at the shortest, or at most a dozen years.

The Sun Moon Empire's national strength was quite terrifying. Three thousand years ago, after the two continents collided, the Sun Moon Continent, without any Soul Masters, was able to fight the Douluo Continent to a draw with some initial Soul Tools.

This split the powerful Heavenly Dou Empire into two.

Now, three thousand years have passed, and the Sun Moon Empire has never stopped researching soul tools, nor has it stopped accumulating soul tool resources.

The accumulation of three thousand years can only be described as terrifying.

In contrast, the Douluo Continent initially showed a strong disdain for soul tools, only realizing their terrifying power in the last hundred years.

But do they think they can catch up with the Sun and Moon Empire's thousands of years of accumulation and tens of thousands of years of foundation in just a hundred years?

is it possible?
Any noble in the Sun Moon Empire with even a little bit of power and inside knowledge would know that launching a war would inevitably result in victory.

Unless the gods of Douluo Continent intervene, the three original empires of Douluo Continent have no power to resist.

They will be swept away by lightning.

They will get back every gold soul coin they take out from Mingde Hall, with interest.

A mere few hundred million gold soul coins; once the Star Luo Empire is defeated, there will be as many as we want.

Money is just a number.

Xiao Hongchen has a very clear understanding of this matter.

First of all, money is not a problem, because Mingdetang is rich, richer than a country.

They weren't afraid of being scammed, since it was a cost-free transaction. Besides, it couldn't really be called a scam, given the value of a 100,000-year-old soul ring and soul bone.

Even if it cannot be absorbed into a second spirit, it can greatly enhance the ninth spirit ring and increase the success rate of absorbing a 100,000-year spirit ring.

As everyone knows, only extremely talented Soul Masters are capable of absorbing a 100,000-year-old Soul Ring in order to break through from Soul Douluo to Title Douluo.

Even so, after absorption, one still has to endure the backlash of a 100,000-year-old soul ring, making perfect absorption impossible. For an average soul master, absorbing even 30% is already quite remarkable.

The remaining soul power will be completely wasted.

However, this is a 100,000-year-old soul beast embryo, which is quite easy to absorb, making it extremely cost-effective.

Moreover, if the Star Luo Empire can't figure it out, how could they not know it?

His grandfather wasn't entirely convinced either, but since they were able to reach this conclusion, there must be some possibility.

Jing Hongchen is confident and is amplifying this possibility.

After all, there are still decades to research, so it's a win-win situation no matter how you look at it.

Therefore, no matter how much it costs, we must obtain this 100,000-year-old soul beast embryo.

"Four hundred and ten million."

Ignoring the advice of the team leader and captain, Xiao Hongchen raised the price by another ten million.

Although the final transaction price will definitely exceed expectations by a lot, I will inevitably get a scolding from my grandfather when I get back.

But if he doesn't manage to get the shot, his grandfather will be truly disappointed, thinking that he can't even do this simple thing right.

More importantly, he is extremely concerned about his image.

How could a nobody steal a soul beast embryo that's been around for 100,000 years?
"Xiao Hongchen, we've already told you this, and you still choose to blindly raise prices? The academy's budget for decades doesn't even amount to this much money? Who's going to subsidize it for you?"

Chen Ding said angrily.

Upon hearing this, Xiao Hongchen's face immediately showed disdain. "What's the academy's money? My Mingde Hall is rich."

"I'm spending my family's money, what's it to you? Just watch and see, I'm determined to get this 100,000-year-old soul beast embryo."

Is Mingdetang rich?
The academy's funding came from the Mingde Hall.

Even if we round it up, isn't it still the college's money?
However, when one thinks of Xiao Hongchen's identity, and that Xiao Hongchen's grandfather is the head of Mingde Hall and the dean of the Sun Moon Royal Soul Master Academy, one realizes that...

Chen Ding immediately lost his temper and stopped talking.

Yes, Mingdetang belongs to Jing Hongchen. No matter how much money Xiao Hongchen spends, Mingdetang and the Hongchen family will cover it.

Although I was very dissatisfied, what could I do when someone has such a good grandfather?

Xiao Hongchen certainly has the right to be arrogant.

Ma Rulong was also very unhappy about this, but he didn't say anything on the surface. He just thought to himself: If the second-best person in the world were here, Xiao Hongchen wouldn't be so arrogant.

Unfortunately, the second-best person in the world only has research on his mind and has no interest in these things.

Although he was the second-in-command in the world, there was nothing he could say.

Just watch, in another ten years or so, Mingdetang will be nothing in the Sun and Moon Empire.

Jing Hongchen can be said to have let a wolf into the house.

After arriving in the Sun Moon Empire, the Second Strongest Under Heaven has taken deep root there and accumulated a profound foundation.

The three departments he established at the Sun Moon Royal Soul Master Academy have now completely separated from the academy and are now three completely independent departments that can operate on their own without relying on the Mingde Hall.

It can be said that it has completely broken away from Mingdetang's control.

His Highness the Crown Prince also helped with this.

Although the Second Under Heaven is Jing Hongchen's last disciple, he first and foremost serves not Jing Hongchen, but the Sun Moon Empire.

It's important to distinguish between primary and secondary matters.

Mingdetang does not serve the mortal world; Mingdetang can only serve the Sun and Moon Empire.

Therefore, even if Jing Hongchen later became dissatisfied with the Second Under Heaven, he had no way to interfere with the Second Under Heaven's actions.

Prince Xu Tianran placed bets on both sides.

After realizing they couldn't win over Jing Hongchen, they had no choice but to try and win over the rising star, the second most powerful person in the world, by getting his three departments to align themselves with him.

At first, the second-best in the world refused.

But later on, Xu Tianran gave her way too much.

Xu Tianran didn't give him money; he knew that the Second Best Under Heaven wasn't short of money. So, Xu Tianran gave the Second Best Under Heaven certain rights.

This would allow him to compete with Jing Hongchen.

Up until now, the relationship between the Second Under Heaven and Jing Hongchen has changed. Jing Hongchen is now somewhat unable to suppress the Second Under Heaven, which is something everyone can see.

Huo Yuhao found it funny every time he thought about it.

It feels like every one of his clones is dressed up as Lu Bu. A true man is born between heaven and earth; how can he live a life of subservience to others?

Godfather, please take a seat.

That's roughly the idea. However, the foundation of being second in the world is still too weak. Only when the power of the Sun Moon Empire changes will it be able to completely suppress Jing Hongchen, that fickle old fox.

The old fox wavered, refusing to engage in battle.

After all, he didn't think much of this disabled crown prince.

Unfortunately, the second-best in the world has a god-like perspective and knows who the next emperor will be.

In short, the reason why Ma Rulong and the others followed the Second in the World so wholeheartedly was that the Second in the World was indeed very strong, had a charming personality, and was the object of admiration for everyone in the Sun Moon Royal Soul Master Academy.

Spiritual leader.

The second reason is for the future development of the family.

Following the second-best guy in the world will definitely lead to a bright future.

So in Ma Rulong's eyes, let him be as wild as he wants, the mountain wind still caresses the hillside.

Just ignore him.

Just pretend you didn't see it.

When Xiao Hongchen raised the bid by another ten million, the tense look on Xu Jiawei's face gradually disappeared in the core area of ​​the Starlight Auction House.

He knew that Huo Yuhao was bidding against the people from the Sun Moon Royal Soul Master Academy, after all, only Huo Yuhao had the ability to act as a shill.

However, Huo Yuhao's bid this time was too steep, increasing by 40 million in one go, which made Xu Jiawei doubt whether Huo Yuhao really wanted to buy the soul beast embryo.

Thinking about this made him extremely nervous.

After all, he organized this grand auction not to make money. As an emperor, he was not short of money at all. Of course, not being short of money was just a figure of speech. It could only be said that by mobilizing the national power of his entire Star Luo Empire, he could still raise some funds.

The greatest benefit for this 100,000-year-old soul beast embryo is if it falls into the hands of Mingde Hall.

Only then could his subsequent plans be carried out.

He remembered that he had made it very clear to Huo Yuhao.

He had already clearly told Huo Yuhao that this soul beast embryo was incapable of obtaining a second martial soul; it was a complete scam from beginning to end.

He genuinely didn't want Huo Yuhao to interfere; he truly hoped Huo Yuhao was simply helping him negotiate the price, acting as a good shill.

But the price increase of 40 million was something he really couldn't understand.

Aren't you afraid of scaring the other side away by adding this much?
However, after such a long silence, the numbers on the screen finally started moving again.

Seeing this, Xu Jiawei could only sigh, "This Sun Moon Empire is really damn rich."

I just spent 360 million gold soul coins, and now I'm going to spend more than 400 million gold soul coins.

His entire Star Luo Empire's treasury didn't contain that much.

It can only be described as terrifying!
Seeing that Xiao Hongchen had raised the price again, his heart finally settled down.

However, he still wanted to remind Huo Yuhao.

You can raise prices as you please, but don't go too far and scare people away.

……

"Sect Leader Huo, His Majesty has instructed me to restrain myself a bit."

Lin Yao had no idea about the ulterior motives between Huo Yuhao and Xu Jiawei. She was still quite apprehensive when His Majesty suddenly gave her the order.

He wasn't sure what Xu Jiawei meant by "restraint." Did he mean he didn't want Huo Yuhao to buy the item?
Although Lin Yao really hoped Huo Yuhao would buy it, so that she could get a large cut.

However, since it was His Majesty who said it, it must be conveyed properly, otherwise she will be in deep trouble.

"Tone it down a bit? Okay, I got it."

After saying that, Huo Yuhao's lips curled into a dangerous smile. He lightly tapped his finger on the sofa and then softly said, "Four hundred and fifty million."

He casually added another 40 million.

Lingyao's heart skipped a beat.

What happened to toning things down a bit?
If you had only increased the price by ten million, that would have been fine, but you went and increased it by forty million.

They really don't value money!

Moreover, what you're doing puts me in a really difficult position.

His Majesty had just given her instructions to tell Huo Yuhao to tone it down, but Huo Yuhao immediately raised the price by 40 million. Doesn't that imply that she was incompetent?

Lingyao felt a surge of despair.

"Sect Leader Huo, what happened to your promise to tone it down a bit!"

Huo Yuhao smiled and said, "I've already been very restrained. Four hundred and fifty million is my final offer. Let's see if he agrees. If he agrees again, I won't take it. If he doesn't, I'll have to accept this soul beast embryo with tears in my eyes!"

"Uh!"

Okay! You're rich and powerful, you can do whatever you want with your money.

Although Lingyao didn't make Huo Yuhao back down this time, she at least found out his final offer, so it wasn't a complete loss.

When Xu Jiawei received this news, he actually felt relieved.

He was afraid that Huo Yuhao would take it seriously while playing around. Huo Yuhao had the ability to buy this soul beast embryo. Even if he didn't have the money now, their Star Luo Empire would still have to engage in long-term smuggling transactions with the Tang Sect.

Huo Yuhao is not short of money.

Now that we know Huo Yuhao's final offer, it's a good thing!

Now let's see if the head of Mingde Hall, being such a good grandson, will make an exception and raise the price again.

To be honest, even Mingdetang would suffer a severe blow if it were 460 million.

There are very few forces on the entire Douluo Star that can come up with hundreds of millions of yuan in cash; even the government couldn't come up with that much money.

Moreover, it's just a Mingde Hall.

To raise that much money, they had no choice but to sell high-level soul tools in large quantities to obtain enough cash for payment.

If it works out, they'll make a fortune.

Huo Yuhao single-handedly raised the price by almost double.

Now it depends on whether Xiao Hongchen will follow him or not.

Huo Yuhao's actions have made him extremely uneasy.

As an emperor, he rarely experienced such emotional fluctuations, but right now, he was quite excited.

Just like a desperate gambler, his face was flushed and his breathing was rapid!

Waiting for the final result.

However, Xiao Hongchen did not disappoint him in the end; Mingdetang was indeed wealthy and powerful.

On the other side, in the VIP room of the Sun and Moon Royal Soul Master Academy.

Looking at the numbers on the screen, Xiao Hongchen's eyes were bloodshot. He gritted his teeth and added another ten million.

"Four hundred and sixty million, if you try to rob me again, I'm not going to fight you anymore."
