Douluo: Start by taking control of the Holy Spirit Church Saint

Chapter 137 Luo Chen sells his body

A big part of the reason why Wang Yan was willing to spend a fortune to win the smile of his beloved was that he was too proud.

What is different from the original novel is that, except for the loss of Ma Xiaotao, the Soul Saint, all the original regular players of the Shrek team are still there. Ma Xiaotao's vacant seat has also been replaced by the fifth-level Soul Master who was originally squeezed out. So except for the first two games where only reserve players can participate, the rest of the competition is not as tragic as in the original world line.

Without pressure, he naturally doesn't need to rack his brains to plan various tactics. On the contrary, he has enough time to look at beauties everywhere.

It can only be said that, except for the surname being added and the soul power level being 20 levels higher, he is no different from the master from ten thousand years ago. Compared to the master whose grandfather is the patriarch of the Blue Lightning Tyrannosaurus Rex family, Wang Yan also has Master Xuan as his master.

Without Huo Yuhao, a potential player, to help him realize his theories, he naturally wouldn't have much room to use his talents. Even in the original novel, Ma Xiaotao and Dai Yueheng looked down on him.

Only this copycat master could be so bewitched by a mediocre woman.

Not to mention that in the original novel, Lao Wang was most likely used by Qingya after this competition. He helped her support the auction in Shrek City, but was dumped. He had no choice but to harm the female students in the inner courtyard.

Just like the mentally retarded Dashi, he was played around by Qianxunji's illusion and had no self-awareness. How could the disciple of the Pope of the Spirit Hall fall in love with a waste?
Now, Wang Yan has to pay the price for his previous extravagant spending.

"Luochen, why don't you try using your credit limit in the academy?" Wang Yan forced a smile and asked in a low voice, not forgetting to steal a glance in Qingya's direction.

But how could he apply for a credit line from the academy now? The auction of the Ice Jade Scorpion's left arm bone was about to begin.

Ling Luochen is not like Dai Yuheng, whose base is here and he can use any amount of money he wants.

Hearing this, Ling Luochen's beautiful eyes dimmed. Although she was very unwilling, human power is limited. Money may not be omnipotent, but many things cannot be done without money.

The auction began, and soon the price of the Ice Scorpion's left arm bone was raised to 15 million by Meng Hongchen of the Sun and Moon Team.

In terms of wealth, as the granddaughter of the head of Mingde Hall, she was really not afraid of anyone. As for the gap of more than 10 million gold soul coins, she asked Jing Hongchen to make a defective ninth-level soul guide device at random, and she could easily make back the money.

As if seeing through Ling Luochen's thoughts, Qingya walked up to Ling Luochen and said, "If Miss Ling wants to bid for this Ice Jade Scorpion's left arm bone, I can take you to the auction backstage to apply for your credit limit."

"Really?" Ling Luochen's beautiful eyes lit up. Seeing the unexpected turn of events, she naturally didn't want to miss out on such a rare treasure. As for the credit line she applied for from the Xingluo royal family, she would have her own way to pay the money back in time after returning to the academy.

"Please follow me." Qingya gave her a mysterious smile and walked out of the room with Ling Luochen alone.

Wang Yan heaved a sigh of relief after seeing Ling Luochen and Qingya leave. He just hoped that the Starlight Auction House would not make things too difficult for Ling Luochen for the sake of Shrek Academy.

On the other side, Ling Luochen followed Qingya out of the door and walked forward to the door of the innermost room numbered one. Qingya did not knock on the door, but simply pressed on the door with her right hand. The door immediately slid to one side, and the two of them walked in.

The private rooms in the auction hall were able to block mental detection, so Huo Yuhao had not known which two rooms the Shrek Academy and the Sun Moon Royal Soul Instructor Academy were.

However, his extended mental power quickly captured the elegant auctioneer and the girl in Shrek school uniform behind her.

Huo Yuhao felt a faint chill from this cold girl. If what he expected was correct, this girl should be the aloof senior schoolmate Ling Luochen.

What was she doing following the auctioneer out of the private room?
Huo Yuhao calmly lied that he was going to the restroom and quickly left his private room. He used his simulated soul skill to become invisible and followed the two women. After the door of Room No. 1 was opened, he took the opportunity to sneak in.

“Your Majesty, there is a Shrek inner school student who wants to use his credit line to purchase an item in this auction.” Qingya knelt down and saluted.

Inside the room, a man was sitting there. He was tall and straight and was wearing a black robe. Apart from him, there was not even a maid in the room.

Hearing the title of Qingya auctioneer, Ling Luochen widened his eyes in surprise, because the person in front of him was none other than the current Emperor of the Xingluo Empire.

"Oh?" Xu Jiawei turned around, and his eyes lit up when he saw Ling Luochen, who had a cold temperament and beautiful appearance.

"This young man, have you taken a fancy to the Ice Jade Scorpion's left arm bone that my royal family has treasured for many years?"

Xu Jiawei smiled, but in the eyes of Huo Yuhao who was hiding in the corner, it was clearly the smile of a successful evil plot.

Hearing Ling Luochen's affirmative answer, Emperor Xingluo was slightly stunned, then shook his head and said with a smile: "I wanted to do a favor for Shrek Academy, but I didn't expect that the favor was not delivered. I heard that you are the main controller of ice element in the Shrek team this time, right?"

Ling Luochen nodded expressionlessly, and suddenly felt a little regretful in his heart. He was still too impatient. This was obviously a trap set by the Xingluo royal family for them, the Shrek inner courtyard disciples.

But if she missed this opportunity, she would probably miss out on the Ice Jade Scorpion's left arm bone, especially the terrifying Ice Explosion Technique, which was undoubtedly the strongest means of attack for her as a soul master who mainly controls the ice element.

With this soul skill, she can remain invincible even if facing Dai Yuheng one-on-one.

"How about this? I will arrange for someone inside to bid for this soul bone and give it to you at the final price. How about that?" Xu Jiawei paused and continued, "Similarly, I hope that when you graduate from the inner courtyard in the future, you can owe us a favor."

"This?" Ling Luochen reacted immediately. It was obvious that the Xingluo royal family had seen the potential of their inner court disciples. In this way, they made them owe favors to the empire and recruited them to work for the royal family after graduation. This was killing two birds with one stone.

The reason why His Majesty the Emperor did not directly give the soul bone to Shrek as a prize for the competition as in the original novel is that, firstly, Ling Luochen has not brought as much surprise to the Xingluo royal family as the original Huo Gua, and secondly, they do not know the disadvantage that the Ice Jade Scorpion Soul Bone can only be absorbed by the owner of the ultimate ice martial soul.

Xu Jiawei glanced at the screen next to him. At this time, the price of the soul bone had been raised to 18 million, and the final transaction price was expected to reach more than 20 million.

Once the contestants stopped bidding, it would only take three more clicks and Ling Luochen would really miss out on this soul bone.

If she doesn't agree, she will miss out on this top-grade soul bone, and her future achievements will be limited to those of a Titled Douluo.

If she agreed, she would not only have to shoulder tens of millions of debts, but also work for the Xingluo royal family after graduation.

Huo Yuhao couldn't help but secretly praise him. His Majesty the Emperor had a good method. He actually used this method to make the disciples of Shrek Inner Court sign the indenture. It was really insidious. It was indeed a trait passed down from the same ancestor as the White Tiger Duchess.

Seeing that the number of people bidding on the screen was decreasing, and Xu Jiujiu's questioning speed was getting faster and faster, Ling Luochen felt that his usually clear brain was suddenly not enough, and he fell into chaos.

Xu Jiawei was not in a hurry to hear her reply. Even if the auction was successful, he would have an excuse to return the money by claiming that there was something wrong with the soul bone and give Ling Luochen another chance.

His Majesty the Emperor tapped lightly on the table with one finger. Each tap was accompanied by the sound of competing bids, which gradually crushed Ling Luochen's rationality.

"I..." Just when Ling Luochen was completely under the control of His Majesty the Xingluo Emperor and was about to open her mouth to agree, a shock that went straight to her soul instantly interrupted her words.

"If you really want it, don't agree to it. I'll buy it for you. After the auction, come find me on the rooftop of the Xinghuang Hotel."

Huo Yuhao left this room after saying this. He used the Divine Power Hirasaka to leave. With his current spiritual power and simulated invisibility, he would not be seen even if he pole danced in front of the Emperor.

Ling Luochen finally regained her clarity of mind at the last moment. She shook her head decisively, "Thank you for your kindness, Your Majesty. Luochen does not want to be bound in this life. If I miss this soul bone because of this, it is also my destiny."

Seeing her give up, Xu Jiawei was not annoyed, "Since you choose to give up, I won't force you. The disciples of Shrek's inner courtyard are really outstanding!"

"I am very sorry to bother Your Majesty." Ling Luochen bowed slightly to Xu Jiawei, then stood up and walked out, just as cold and aloof as when he first arrived.

Qingya did not leave with her, but quickly closed the door after Ling Luochen left.

"Your Majesty, it seems that the students in the Shrek Inner Court are not so easy to win over."

"It's okay. The fact that she has been able to improve her cultivation to the Soul King realm at this age is enough to prove that she has good talent. This does not mean that we must win her over at all costs." Xu Jiawei waved his hand and didn't care.

"I heard that there were Soul Saint-level students among the Shrek regulars who were originally selected to participate in the competition, but they were unable to come for some reasons. They are the talents we have to consider."

"Your Majesty is wise." Qingya nodded in agreement.

"Go ahead and get in touch with their team leader, so that our Xingluo royal family can gain a foothold in Shrek territory in the future." Xu Jiawei seemed a little sleepy and motioned for her to leave.

"Yes." Qingya responded and left the box immediately.

After Qingya left, Xu Jiawei turned his head to look at the soul guide screen and couldn't help but laugh: "This Sun Moon Empire is really generous."

At this moment on the screen, the bidding price has reached a terrifying 25 million gold soul coins.

After Qingya returned to the private room, Wang Yan gritted his teeth and tried to follow the price twice for the sake of face, but he had to give up. Although Shrek City is rich, its annual tax revenue is only a few hundred million gold soul coins. This kind of treasure worth tens of millions can be described as a treasure that can topple a city. At this level of price, Wang Yan really didn't dare to make a decision easily.

For Shrek Academy, the biggest source of income is not the tax revenue from Shrek City, but the income from the strong men of Shrek Academy when they perform missions or hunt soul beasts. If the Sea God Pavilion of Shrek Academy is willing to go out, even hunting a hundred thousand year soul beast in the Star Dou Great Forest would not be that difficult. The value of each hundred thousand year soul beast is difficult to measure with money.

However, in the past thousand years, Shrek Academy, which claims to be righteous, has restrained itself a lot in this regard. The most important reason is naturally that it does not want to anger the Star Dou Great Forest. Once the Beast God triggers a beast tide, it is likely that all living things will be destroyed. Even if Shrek City can be saved, the cities and villages near the Star Dou Great Forest will suffer a devastating disaster. This is not conducive to their glorious image.

Therefore, although Shrek Academy knew that the Star Dou Great Forest was full of wealth, it did not dare to hunt soul beasts on a large scale easily. It only helped the students complete the task of hunting soul rings when there was a need.

The price of the Ice Jade Scorpion Soul Bone skyrocketed, and this soul bone really attracted the attention of many people. Just when the price was raised to 19 million gold soul coins, suddenly, a huge number shocked every VIP room.

Twenty million.

Huo Yuhao returned to the VIP room and made his move. He started with 20 million after just a few words.

This shocked the maid who was in charge of quoting the price. Her heart was shaken and she looked strangely at the young man who seemed to be behaving frivolously.

Meng Hongchen of the Sun and Moon Team was obviously stunned by the 20 million. Although she was rich in Mingde Hall, she couldn't spend it like this. After all, the object was not the legendary 100,000-year soul bone.

She gritted her teeth in defiance and quoted a price of twenty-one million again.

Huo Yuhao saw the numbers jumping, and he elegantly ate the fruit handed to him by Cui Yajie, then raised three fingers to the maid beside him.

thirty million!
This number obviously shattered all the bidders' views. How could you raise the price like this? You must be a shill for the auction house, right?

Although Meng Hongchen was angry, she was powerless. If her grandfather knew that she spent more than 30 million to buy a ten thousand year soul bone, he would probably be scolded to death.

On the other side, the students of Shrek Academy looked at the terrifying figure of 30 million, and everyone's breathing became rapid. This is a fortune that is enough to buy a medium-sized city! Even for a country, it is not easy to come up with so much money, and what they want to buy at this time is just a soul bone. Who is this person so rich?

Obviously, the number of 30 million has exceeded the psychological price of most people. As one minute passes, the deal is done!

"Teacher Wang." Ling Luochen rarely took the initiative to speak to Wang Yan, and her expression was obviously a little indignant. Just now, for this soul bone, she almost signed a contract to sell herself with the Xingluo royal family.

She was still moved by Xu Jiawei's previous words. She was thinking, what if she really merged this soul bone? Not to mention the long-term, at least in this fighting soul competition, under the premise that the opponent did not have an invincible shield, she could easily blow up a team of all soul kings into cripples, cripples!

Wang Yan waved his hand at her awkwardly and said, "Just be patient."

Qingya walked up to Wang Yan and whispered a few words in his ear.

Immediately, his eyes lit up, and he turned to Ling Luochen and said, "Luochen, I heard that the Xingluo royal family has a nearly ten thousand year old ice silkworm trunk bone in their collection. If we Shrek win the championship, they will give it to us as a prize."

Hearing his words, Ling Luochen couldn't help but laugh. After all, you are also a researcher of soul master theory. Everyone knows how weak the Ice Silkworm Clan is. Even the rarest torso bone is not worthy of being on the table. An Ice Silkworm torso bone that is less than ten thousand years old can be bought with a maximum of hundreds of thousands of gold soul coins. How can it be compared with the left arm bone of the Ice Jade Scorpion?
Ling Luochen was suddenly extremely disappointed with the academy teacher who led the team. He and his companions had exhausted their last bit of soul power in the arena for the glory of the academy, but in the end they couldn't even get the ten thousand year soul bone they wanted.

She suddenly lost interest in the finale item of the auction, her pretty face turned cold, and she suggested going out for a walk.

How could Wang Yan stop her? With just one conspicuous bag, she could leave as she pleased. It didn’t prevent him from showing off in front of such a beautiful woman!
The senior sister escaped the disaster of Xingluo Emperor, but she can't escape the next disaster of the protagonist. The embryo of Xuedi is about to appear. Will she fall into the hands of Sun and Moon in this life?
