Douluo: Peerless Light..

Chapter 202 Soul Bone Obtained (Two in One)

"Maybe it's also testing the royal family's attitude towards the Duke's Mansion!" Xu Jiujiu seemed to have thought of something and suddenly started to imagine.

“Let’s not even mention that Dai Huabin sent people to kill Huo Yuhao. The Qing family sent people to the imperial city to confirm Dai Huabin’s handling of the situation. They abolished Dai Huabin in front of all the ministers. The relationship between the two families is doomed to be difficult. It is hard to say whether there will be another conflict because of Huo Yuhao in the future. If we don’t give him this face, I’m afraid this guy will think that we will protect the Duke’s Mansion in the future.”

"Also, now that the war is approaching, we are auctioning off the 12 fixed-type soul guide shells and the eighth-level long-range soul guide, the Creation Cannon, which are strategic materials. Will Minghui have any objections?"

"Of course, it's also possible that I'm overthinking it. Minghui might not be able to think so much at his age."

"Whether he thinks about it or not, we have to act as if he thinks about it," said Xu Jiawei.

"Minghui is still young and may not think much, but the Qing family and Shrek Academy behind him are not short of smart people."

"But from another perspective, isn't this also an opportunity to make friends?"

"However, judging from Minghui's reply, he doesn't seem to want to have too much involvement with my royal family. This is what I expected."

"No matter what, I have to give this face, and I am willing to give it."

"As for the auction of those soul guides, I will give Shrek Academy an explanation later. We did this to stir up internal disputes in Mingde Hall and buy more time. I think Shrek Academy will accept this reason."

"Okay, little sister, it's time for you to go back." He stared at her for a long time.

"I will keep an eye on it from now on. If the Sun Moon Royal Soul Instructor Academy's bid is too high and Minghui gives up the competition, I will bid for it and use it as a prize for the championship. As for whether he can win it, it depends on the ability of Shrek Academy."

"And if the Sun Moon Royal Soul Instructor Academy gives up the bid, it wouldn't be a problem for us to do them a favor."

Xu Jiujiu nodded slightly, turned and left.

Not long after, he returned to the exhibition hall, bowed and apologized, and then supplemented the conditions for absorbing soul bones.

This immediately caused an uproar in every room, including the room where Xiao Hongchen was.

"The ultimate ice attribute, isn't the absorption condition too harsh?!" The teammates were very surprised.

"It shouldn't be fake." Ma Lao said, "Princess Jiujiu's explanation is very reasonable."

"I've also heard from Grandpa about the Ice Jade Scorpion." Meng Hongchen said, "It is said that this soul beast originally had a poison attribute, but it gave up the poison attribute in order to evolve to the extreme. From this point of view, it coincides with what Xu Jiujiu said."

"Perhaps it is because of this persistence that this race gave birth to the Ice Emperor, one of the ten fierce beasts."

"Sister, this is a bit difficult." Xiao Hongchen said helplessly, "I originally wanted to buy this soul bone for you to absorb."

"Now it seems that buying it would put you in danger."

Meng Hongchen shook his head. "Although my Zhu Qing Ice Toad martial soul is also of ice attribute, its eyes are of fire attribute, and its ability is mainly poisonous. The compatibility is not high, and it is difficult to bring out the effect of ice explosion skills. If I absorb it hastily, it may break the balance of martial soul attributes and hurt myself, which would be more trouble than gain. Now that I know this harsh condition, it is better to give up the idea as soon as possible."

"You can't say that." Xiao Hongchen suddenly laughed, "What if my nephew's spirit mutates in the future?"

Meng Hongchen rolled his eyes at him immediately, and then he saw his brother said seriously, "Who knows what will happen in the future? The solidification skill of this soul bone, Ice Explosion, is indeed a magical skill. It is hard to come by. You won't lose anything by buying it. At worst, you can sell it later."

Meng Hongchen hesitated for a moment, then nodded, "The price is not too high, I can take a picture of it and keep it for later."

"However, compared to this." She suddenly changed the subject, "Do you think Minghui's martial spirit ice attribute will be the ultimate ice?"

"This is impossible!" Xiao Hongchen said without hesitation, "It's already a miracle to have three attributes mutated, and they are ultimate attributes. This is simply a fantasy."

"Besides, he is the owner of twin martial souls. How could anyone in the world awaken such a martial soul configuration!"

Meng Hongchen turned to look at the oldest person present, Mr. Ma, and said, "Mr. Ma, what do you think?"

"I also think it's unlikely." Ma Lao said, "Let's not talk about whether this probability exists or not, whether the body can withstand it is also a question. If the ice attribute really reaches the extreme, then at least another attribute must be balanced with it, and three attributes, plus twin martial spirits, the difficulty of balancing is not easy. Add to that the genetic defects of the Guangling Divine Bow, it may be difficult for a person to survive."

"Anyway, I have never heard of similar cases on the mainland."

"If it really happens, it's no longer a miracle, but a divine sign!" Xiao Hongchen followed.

"That's right." Meng Hongchen nodded.

“However, the child’s ice attribute is indeed very strong. Even if it is not at the extreme, it is probably not far off.” Old Ma added.

"There is also the guy called Huo Yuhao, whose second martial spirit has a very strong ice attribute."

“That kid actually also possesses twin martial souls. To be honest, I’m a little surprised.” Xiao Hongchen said.

"As expected, this academy is praised as the best on the continent by the three former empires. It really has many talented students."

“After all, it gave birth to gods and has accumulated tens of thousands of years of existence, so its foundation must be profound.” Old Ma said with emotion.

Xiao Hongchen chuckled, "Oh, when our Sun Moon Empire completes the great cause of unification, the first academy on this continent will also change hands."

While they were talking, the viewing time ended and Xu Jiujiu announced that the starting price was 1000 million gold soul coins.

Mr. Ma signaled to the students to open the door and let the waitress in charge of quoting in.

"1100 million." Xiao Hongchen said the first time.

On the other side, Minghui had a calm expression as he waited for others to raise the price, and would occasionally raise the price again when things slowed down.

In fact, there were very few people who had the intention to buy, and only a few made offers. It was obvious that they had chosen to give up after hearing the harsh absorption conditions.

"1500 million." Xiao Hongchen gave the final bottom line, and told them that he was really going to sell off the soul guides on his bodies.

Their Sun-Moon Empire had never been on good terms with the original three empires, and this was the imperial capital of the Star Luo Empire. There were no industries in the city that could provide a lot of funds. If they wanted to get enough funds, they had no other way except to sell the high-level soul guides produced by Mingde Hall.

But isn't this a disguised way of sending a sample to the Xing Luo Empire for research?

It's not like Mingdetang is incapable of hunting a hundred thousand year old soul beast. It's obviously not worth it just for a piece that's less than a hundred thousand years old.

"1505 million." Minghui, who was already the last competitor, said calmly.

"Damn it, I should have brought more money when I came here." Xiao Hongchen looked annoyed and finally chose to give up.

No one else bid, and after three rounds, Xu Jiujiu announced the deal.

Minghui then smiled, and at the same time he had some ideas about the next game.

Not long after, the soul bone was brought back by Qingya. Minghui reached out to take it and put it directly into the soul guide.

As for the money, Xingluo City has his family's property, so he can go back and ask the two elders of the Body Sect to allocate funds directly. The auction also knew that he had money, so they gave him the soul bones first.

"Let's go, let's go back." Minghui said with a smile, "There's just enough time. I'm going to absorb the soul bone as soon as I get back."

"With the Ice Blast Soul Bone skill, I have a new idea for the next battle against the Sun and Moon Royal Soul Instructor Academy. I guarantee victory!"

"Then it seems to be really stable!" Gong Yangmo said with a smile.

So everyone got up and returned to the hotel.

After returning to the hotel, Minghui entered the room immediately, closed the door and began to absorb soul bones.

Bingdi said that with his strength and his help, he could absorb it all within a day.

In fact, it was true. When the time came to the afternoon of the next day, he successfully absorbed the soul bone and his soul power successfully broke through to level 50. As for the rest of the time, Minghui stayed in the hotel to familiarize himself with soul skills and soul power improvement, and did not even watch the game.

This also caused everyone at the Sun Moon Royal Soul Instructor Academy, which had just defeated the Di Ao Academy in the individual elimination round, to start speculating.

"Could it be that Minghui took a picture of that soul bone and is absorbing it now?"

"But extreme ice, how is this possible?"

"If that's true, then we have to change our tactics again."

On the 24th day before the start of the Continental Soul Master Competition, the finals finally began.

Early in the morning, the entire city streets were crowded with people. Even though the weather was not good that day, the sky was overcast and the ground was covered with a layer of light mist. Occasionally, there was drizzle, which also made the ground of the city covered with a layer of water stains.

The street leading directly from the hotel to the stadium was still covered with red carpet, and there was tight security on both sides, and no one dared to approach.

The two teams walked side by side on the carpet, heading towards the competition field.

"Minghui, it was you who took the picture of that soul bone, right?" Xiao Hongchen, who was walking on the other side of Minghui, suddenly said.

Minghui turned around and smiled, "Guess?"

"Even if you absorb that soul bone, victory still belongs to my Sun Moon Royal Soul Instructor Academy." Xiao Hongchen said confidently.

"Very crazy!" Minghui's expression remained unchanged, "How about we make a bet?"

"What are you betting on?" Xiao Hongchen asked without hesitation.

Minghui knew that this guy had no say in such matters as giving him a ninth-level soul guide, and anything else was of no use to him, so he nodded slightly.

"If you lose, call me big brother when you meet me. It's valid for life."

"Okay!" Xiao Hongchen almost blurted out. It was just a verbal advantage and there was no loss.

Minghui's slightly childish face was full of harmlessness. "Since you want to call me big brother from now on, I will be gentle later."

"Brother, I'll wait and see!" Xiao Hongchen said with a smile.

Neither team member responded, but when the boys' eyes met, sparks flew, and they were all full of fighting spirit.

Soon, the two teams walked into the square.

The Emperor Xu Jiawei of the Xing Luo Empire had already been waiting on the city wall. When he saw both parties arrive, he nodded slightly to Dai Hao beside him.

"Silence!" Dai Hao said in a deep voice, "The competition is about to begin. Your Majesty, please give your speech."

"Kill, kill, kill!" The surrounding soldiers all raised their weapons and shouted, and the entire arena was instantly filled with a murderous atmosphere.

Is this a demonstration against our Sun Moon Empire? Xiao Hongchen looked at him with disdain.

It seems that Dai Hao's dominant position in the army is even higher than his brother's. Xu Jiujiu, who was standing next to Xu Jiawei, had a flickering eye. In her opinion, her brother asked Dai Hao to do this, not only to intimidate other countries, but also to test Dai Hao.

While thinking, he subconsciously looked at Minghui, who had a calm expression and was not moved at all.

Emperor Xu Jiawei kept smiling. After the loud shouting, he spoke. He first expressed his feelings and then mentioned the champion reward. "According to convention, the champion of the All-Continent Soul Master Competition will receive three ten-thousand-year soul bones and one million gold soul coins. I have carefully selected ten soul bones from the national treasury for the champion to choose from. Today's competition..."

As soon as he finished speaking, Tiansha Douluo Huang Jinxu, who was serving as the referee again, flashed to the competition stage.

The next moment, another ray of light fell, but not on the viewing platform, but on the rest area of ​​the Shrek team.

It immediately attracted countless attention.

"Mr. Xuan." Zhang Lexuan and the others greeted him politely.

On the other side, the leader of the Sun Moon Royal Soul Instructor Academy had already changed color, but he quickly recovered.

Huang Jinxu's expression quickly recovered, and he turned around to explain the rules of the finals, and then announced that the game would start in one minute.

All the students of Shrek Academy immediately looked at Minghui.

As of now, Minghui has not arranged the tactics and configuration. We will know when the time comes.

Then Minghui said calmly, "Senior Yao, Senior Mo, you two follow me."

Everyone was stunned, including Xuan Zi and Zhang Lexuan.

"Where are the others?" Ma Xiaotao asked subconsciously.

"Just the three of us." Minghui said.

Everyone was shocked. Ma Xiaotao asked hurriedly, "Xiaohui, isn't this arrangement too risky?"

"Xiao Tao, don't you trust me?" Minghui said with a smile, "Don't worry, I know what I'm doing. If everything goes well, maybe I can win the championship in this game."

Everyone became suspicious and didn't understand what Minghui was up to, but based on his previous performance, they chose to believe him.

Xuan Zi even said, "Don't worry, this kid is very cunning, and he probably has some bad intentions."

Upon hearing this, Xu Sanshi immediately said, "No more words, just be careful."

A minute passed quickly, and Tiansha Douluo announced that both sides would take the stage.

Seven members of the Sun Moon Royal Academy stood up immediately, including the captain Ma Rulong, Xiao Hongchen, and Meng Hongchen. For insurance purposes, all the main players were present.

Several people looked towards the rest area of ​​Shrek Academy, but saw only Minghui leading Gong Yangmo and Yao Haoxuan out of the crowd, and their brows frowned instantly.

"Are you looking down on us?" one teammate said angrily.

"What's going on in Shrek Academy? Why did three people just come out?" The audience was also in an uproar.

Xu Jiujiu, who was standing on the city wall, looked shocked, and obviously had not expected this kind of scene.

"Attack with all your strength from the beginning!" Xiao Hongchen said angrily.

"Keep calm!" Ma Rulong said in a deep voice, "Don't treat the people of Shrek Academy as fools. They must have their own considerations for making such arrangements. Provoking us to expose our strength may be one of them. Don't act rashly."

"The captain is right. We'd better be cautious." Meng Hongchen followed.

Xiao Hongchen regained his composure and said in a low voice, "Anyway, they only have three people on the field, so the quick attack tactic is the best. Looking at the opponent's arrangement, we know that the core must be Minghui. As long as we suppress him immediately, we will win this game!"

Ma Rulong nodded slightly, "I agree with this, then let's use the third tactic."

Xiao Hongchen said no more, nodded, and walked into the venue with a gloomy face.

After standing still, he looked at Minghui and said coldly, "Minghui, there will be a price to pay for being arrogant."

Minghui smiled, "Brother Hongchen, you only have this one chance. If you lose, you will lose the championship, so show your full strength."

Provocation? Ma Rulong frowned slightly, not sure for a moment, but still whispered, "Be careful later."

Xiao Hongchen didn't take it seriously. He stared at Minghui, waiting for the game to begin.

Meng Hongchen also set his sights on Minghui, secretly guessing Minghui's intentions.

"Brother, what do you think of Shrek Academy's arrangements?" On the city wall, Xu Jiawei turned and looked at Dai Hao.

Dai Hao hesitated for a moment and said, "Either he chose to give up the victory of this first team battle and aimed to force the opponent to make more preparations. Or, he was absolutely confident in his own strength and was confident that he could defeat them in one fell swoop. As for the rest, I can't tell."

Xu Jiawei smiled and nodded slightly, "Brother, your idea coincides with mine."

"Let's wait and see what happens next."

As soon as he finished speaking, Tiansha suddenly lowered his raised right hand and shouted softly, "The game begins!"
