Douluo Continent: The Evil-Eyed Dragon God, Many Women, Many Blessings

Chapter 185 Another Soul Ring Storage Box!
In front of the screen, He Caitou looked on with fervor, as if he wanted to stick his head in to see it clearly. He excitedly exclaimed, "Wow! Junior Brother, look! The core magic array is right at the tail of the cannonball! Tsk tsk, the outer part of this core magic array already has an acceleration circuit, and the circuit is so big. The speed of the cannonball after it leaves the barrel must be terrifying. No wonder it requires a level 6 or higher fixed-mount soul-guided cannon to fire. A lower level one would probably explode!"

In the corner, Jiang Nannan looked at the big, dark-skinned man with amusement, suddenly finding him rather cute. He Caitou, who usually appeared honest, simple, and composed, was surprisingly excited upon seeing the soul tool, behaving like a child receiving a New Year's gift, even dancing around with joy.

Huo Yuhao chuckled and said, "It's really good. If this set is used for a sneak attack, it can hit anyone below the Soul Douluo level with one blow."

Upon hearing Huo Yuhao's hypothesis, Chen Zifeng and Ling Luochen couldn't help but shudder as they recalled Huo Yuhao's teleportation and Xiao Boluo's sneaky tricks from a few days ago.

How come this kid's head is full of dangerous thoughts at such a young age?
Since that day, Ling Luochen and Chen Zifeng's focus on soul tools has increased dramatically. Since they no longer need to compete, besides recuperating and cultivating their soul power, they borrowed many books about soul tools from He Caitou to study them. At the very least, they wanted to know what kind of soul tools might pose a threat to them.
Therefore, after Princess Jiujiu finished her introduction, they quickly compared the information and realized that Princess Jiujiu had not exaggerated. If such a set of level-six fixed-position soul-guided cannons could really hit, it could indeed threaten the life of a Soul Douluo, and even a Title Douluo would have a headache.

After the viewing period, Princess Jiujiu announced the starting bid: 650,000 gold soul coins, which was indeed higher than the first item.

"Distinguished guests, you certainly won't think this set of fixed-mount soul-guided cannon shells produced by Mingde Hall is overpriced. They are extremely rare, whether as combat equipment or collectibles. Even Mingde Hall itself would find it difficult to produce such a complete set of fixed-mount soul-guided cannon shells. More importantly, they are rare. Our Starlight Auction House can guarantee that this is the first time that fixed-mount soul-guided cannon shells of level six or above produced by Mingde Hall have appeared at auction."

Huo Yuhao's calm voice rang out again: "Seven hundred thousand."

Then, he still politely gestured to Wang Yan, indicating that this was his personal action.

Wang Yan nodded blankly, but in his heart he had begun to doubt his life: I used to think being a teacher was good, but why is reality so bitter? I've worked so hard teaching at Shrek Academy for so many years, and I've only earned a little money?

Fortunately, the value of these twelve fixed-position soul-guided shells lies mainly in their scarcity; there are not many people who can actually use or need to use them.

Moreover, its price was truly exorbitant. Unlike close-range and long-range soul tools that could be used indefinitely, the cannonball was a one-time consumable; once it was used up, it was gone. Therefore, after Huo Yuhao made his bid, no one else competed with him, and he ultimately won the bid.

Qingya smiled and congratulated them, a hint of joy on her face. The Shrek Academy team she was responsible for had won two auction items in a row, which would not only give her a commission, but also greatly help her performance evaluation at the auction.

Princess Jiujiu thanked Box Number Seven again, and her melodious voice rang out once more: "The third item is a rare find for ice-attribute soul masters, especially high-level ice-attribute soul masters who are breaking through their bottlenecks. Everyone should not miss it!"

Looking at the strange cylinder on the big screen, with silver metal at both ends and some kind of translucent material in the middle, Huo Yuhao suddenly felt that it looked familiar. A thought flashed through his mind and he blurted out: "A Soul Ring Storage Box?"

Qingya exclaimed in surprise again, "Contestant Huo is truly knowledgeable; he even knows this."

"Distinguished guests, this is a product of research conducted by the Sun Moon Empire several years ago, called the Soul Ring Storage Box. As the name suggests, this soul tool can store the soul rings of a hunted soul beast and make them available to others, no longer limited to the person who killed the soul beast. It can be described as a miracle in the world of soul masters."

"In fact, it has been researched for a long time, but the reason why it has not spread is because this kind of soul tool has several obvious drawbacks." "First, its materials are scarce and the process is complicated, so the price is very high; second, this kind of soul tool is at least level seven, but the difficulty of making it is close to that of level eight soul tools, making it quite difficult to make."

"Moreover, when using this kind of soul tool to seal a soul ring, not only does it consume a huge amount of soul power, but there is also a considerable chance of failure. Once it fails, the losses are self-evident. Even if it is successfully sealed, the soul ring can only remain inside for a maximum of ten days, otherwise, the energy in the soul ring will gradually decline."

Hearing this, Huo Yuhao suddenly realized that this thing had so many drawbacks. No wonder he only saw one back then and never saw it again. It seems he was really lucky!
Princess Jiujiu exclaimed, "It is precisely because of these various restrictions that such soul tools, although they have appeared on the market, are still extremely rare. But the one we are auctioning is a true level eight soul tool! Because it contains a unique soul beast from the far north, an Ice Jade Scorpion Soul Ring with a cultivation of 60,000 years!"

"what?"

"asshole!"

Two voices suddenly rang in Huo Yuhao's mind at the same time. The first belonged to Tianmeng Ice Silkworm, and the second naturally belonged to Ice Emperor.

With his eyes fixed on the Soul Ring Storage Box on the screen, Huo Yuhao's mind raced with thoughts.

He remembered very clearly that this thing definitely didn't exist in the original work. Had the plot changed again?

But for me, this thing was like a godsend!

He had been considering that if tonight's plan went smoothly, his fifth spirit ring would definitely be the Snow Empress Little Lolita, but the origin of the spirit ring was a bit hard to explain.

After all, everyone at Shrek Academy knew that his fifth spirit ring for Dark Kyurem had been in a state of limbo, and according to him, he planned to search for it in the far north after the tournament ended.

Later, he thought that if all else failed, he would use a typical Jin Yong trope, saying that he had accidentally met a strange old man who insisted on taking him as his disciple. He thought the old man was mentally unstable, so he casually made a condition, saying that as long as the old man found him an ice-attribute soul beast that was over 50,000 years old to complete his fifth soul ring, he would agree to be his disciple.

However, to his surprise, the old man actually found him a soul beast. He had intended to give everyone a surprise, which was why he kept it a secret.

As for who that old man is, that's even simpler. Just describe Du Bu Si's appearance. With his strength, it shouldn't be too far-fetched for him to get a soul beast that's over 50,000 years old, right?
