Douluo Jueshi: Picking up Firefly at the Beginning

Chapter 119 Mu Lao's Regret
Just when Qingya auctioneer was ready to let the Soul-Devouring Carving Knife fail to sell again.

"One hundred thousand gold soul coins."

A voice that sounded somewhat childish rang out from the audience.

Qingya was stunned for a moment when she heard the words, then she reacted and was filled with ecstasy. You know, they, the auctioneers, get commissions for auctioning items. Once the Soul-Devouring Carving Knife is auctioned off, she will get at least a thousand gold soul coins in commission, and there is even a possibility that she will be promoted from a purple-level auctioneer to a black-level auctioneer.

The sudden surprise made her stand there in a daze, and she forgot to speak for a moment.

"I'll offer 100,000 gold soul coins." The slightly childish voice sounded again.

"Ah! Okay, VIP No. 333 bids 100,000 gold soul coins. Is there any other VIP who would like to bid?" Qingya finally came to her senses and quickly responded.

Liuxing looked in the direction of the bid and quickly recognized who it was. Wasn't it Huo Yuhao from Shrek Academy?
He frowned. They had the holy angel Ye Guyi on their side, and they were confident that they could purify the Soul-Devouring Knife before they took action. Could it be that Huo Yuhao also had a way to purify the Soul-Devouring Knife?

He is worthy of being the son of luck. How many cheats does he have?

Liu Xing felt a toothache when he thought of Huo Yuhao’s first million-year soul ring. Others had to become gods to get million-year soul rings, which were also called divine rings. But the protagonist started with a million-year soul ring, and it was very likely that he had more than one.

However, cheats are cheats, but when it comes to wealth, Liuxing really doesn't believe that he can't compare to the other party.

Thinking of this, he looked at Old Ma, and Ye Guyi also looked at Old Ma eagerly. One hundred thousand gold soul coins, they didn't have so much cash, so they could only look to Old Ma.

Ma Lao took a leisurely puff of his cigarette, then calmly raised the sign and said, "One hundred and one hundred thousand gold soul coins."

When auctioneer Qingya heard that someone else was bidding higher, her heart started beating wildly. She had a feeling that her luck was going to change today.

On the other side, Huo Yuhao also said something to Wang Yan, the teacher in charge of the Shrek Academy, and then raised the sign and started quoting again.

Amidst the foolish looks from the others present and the increasingly expectant gaze of Qingya Auctioneer, Old Ma and Huo Yuhao made their bids one after another, and soon the price of the Soul-Devouring Carving Knife reached 300,000 Gold Soul Coins.

"Fifty thousand gold soul coins."

Old Ma frowned, showing impatience, and raised the price by 200,000 yuan at one time, showing an attitude of being determined to win.

On the Shrek Academy side, Wang Yan persuaded Huo Yuhao for a few words, and then gave up the bidding in the face of Huo Yuhao's lost look.

"Five hundred thousand gold soul coins, first time."

"Five hundred thousand gold soul coins, second time."

"Five hundred thousand gold soul coins, third round."

"Oh!"

As the auction hammer in Qingya's hand fell, the Soul-Devouring Carving Knife officially fell into the hands of Liuxing and the others.

At this time, Huo Yuhao was communicating with a voice in his mind.

"I'm sorry, Master Yi, I didn't manage to take the photo of the Soul Devouring Carving Knife. I have someone competing with me, and Teacher Wang Yan and the others are afraid that I might get hurt by it. I can't reveal your presence, so I just can't hold on any longer."

"Alas! It's fate. Since we are not meant to be, there's no need to force it."

An old voice echoed in Huo Yuhao's mind.

"Old Yi, could it be that the people bidding against me also recognized the Gold of Life? Otherwise, why would they spend 500,000 gold soul coins to buy such a dangerous thing?"

Huo Yuhao asked with some doubt. It was only because of Yi Lao's reminder that he knew the true value of this Soul-Devouring Carving Knife. Could it be that there was someone on the other side who knew about the Gold of Life?

"The Gold of Life is a treasure of the life element. Whether in my world or yours, it is extremely rare. Few people know about it. They probably didn't recognize the Gold of Life, but were confident that they could purify the carving knife."

The old voice sighed and said that the Gold of Life could stabilize his consciousness which was about to dissipate at any time, but he didn't expect to miss it.

"Purify! Elder Yi, that's a curse left by a Titled Douluo-level evil spirit master. Besides you, is there anyone else who can purify it?"

Huo Yuhao was shocked and asked quickly.

"Well, I just used my divine sense to take a look. Among those who bid for the Gold of Life, there is a very pure divine power. Although this power is weak, it can perfectly restrain the curse. Give her some time, and she will be able to purify the carving knife."

"Holy power, could it be..."

Huo Yuhao recalled the information gathered by Teacher Wang Yan. In the previous competition, the Sun Moon Royal Soul Instructor Academy had sent out a member with an angelic spirit.

If it was the Sun and Moon Royal Soul Instructor Academy, it would make sense. They are soul instructors to begin with, and the Soul-Devouring Knife is a priceless treasure to them. If they can purify the Soul-Devouring Knife, they will definitely not give it up. Five hundred thousand gold soul coins is not their bottom line.

If he continued to bid, the value of this carving knife would soar to an unimaginable level, but unfortunately, he also had a secret and could not tell Teacher Wang Yan many things.

Otherwise, he wouldn't mind causing some trouble for the Sun Moon Royal Soul Instructor Academy.

Although Liu Xing and the others didn't like any soul guides at tonight's auction, the Soul-Devouring Carving Knife alone was enough to make the trip worthwhile.

On the way back to the Xinghuang Hotel, Xiao Hongchen and others looked at the wooden box in Ye Guyi's hand with anticipation. Even through the wooden box, they could feel a fierce aura.

This soul-devouring carving knife is too fierce and cannot be stored in a storage soul guide, otherwise it will quickly corrode and destroy the storage soul guide.

Ye Guyi held the wooden box in her hands, a look of delight on her face. She couldn't wait to go back and try to purify the Soul-Devouring Knife to see how much soul power it could benefit her.

"Gu Yi, be careful. Don't rush things. After all, this is a cursed remnant soul at the Titled Douluo level. Take it one step at a time."

Meteor reminded.

"Ok, I know."

Ye Guyi nodded. She knew that although her martial soul could restrain evil and curses, her cultivation was still shallow, and it was impossible for her to purify the Soul-Devouring Carving Knife in one go. According to her estimation, it would take at least half a year to a year for her to completely purify the Soul-Devouring Carving Knife.

"As long as you know what's going on."

Liuxing is quite confident in Ye Guyi. Although Ye Guyi sometimes acts impulsively, he is generally quite reliable. Since he said he would be careful, he would not let him down.

However, why is there such a strong breath of life on this Soul-Devouring Carving Knife?

At the auction, they were too far away to notice it, but now that they were closer, they both sensed the powerful life force hidden beneath the fierce curse. Gu Yuena also glanced at the Soul Devouring Knife in Ye Guyi's hand and thought to herself, "So this is the Gold of Life."

She has plenty of this stuff. The Lake of Life in the Star Dou Great Forest is full of gold of living things. She has relied on this stuff to recover from her injuries over the years.

Compared to this small piece of gold of life, the divinity of life in the two of them is the real treasure of life!
Gu Yuena glanced at Meteor and Firefly. Although the Goddess of Life did not leave any consciousness on the two, it was only a part of the divinity of life. It would be difficult for anyone on this Douluo Continent to kill them completely.

Although the Goddess of Life is not strong in direct combat, she is capable of surviving and even a God King of the same level cannot kill her.

The only way to kill meteors and fireflies that hold the divine power of life is by descending to the mortal world, and if a god descends to the mortal world, the goddess of life will definitely notice.

If she wasn't very clear that life and destruction could not give birth to offspring, Gu Yuena would even suspect that Meteor and Firefly were the children of the God of Destruction and the Goddess of Life. After all, they possessed both the attributes of destruction and life, and inherited the divinity of life, making it difficult for her to think otherwise.

This was also the reason why she didn't dare to attack the two of them at first and snatch the divinity of life, because once she took action, it was very likely that a destructive thunder would strike down in the next moment.

The reason why she transformed into the Sun-Moon Empire was, firstly, to study soul guides and find a way out for the soul beast clan, and secondly, to maintain a good relationship with Meteor and Firefly. In the future, when the two grew up, she could also borrow the power of their lives to recover from her injuries.

……

Time flies by.

Two days later, Ma Rulong and others easily defeated their opponents in the second round. Compared with the Qianling Advanced Soul Master Academy in the first round, the opponents in the second round were even weaker and it was even more impossible for them to shake the Sun and Moon Royal Soul Master Academy.

It is worth mentioning that Shrek Academy also won the second round of the competition, but because of this competition, many people saw through Huo Yuhao's true intentions and were convinced that he was not a six-ringed Soul Emperor and that the six hundred thousand year soul rings were also fake. Only ordinary people who were not soul masters were still kept in the dark.

The unusual performance of Shrek Academy made many academies eager to fight. They were not fools. Shrek Academy had resorted to such tricks, so how much fighting power could it have left? They all wanted the honor of being the first to defeat Shrek Academy in ten thousand years.

Xiao Hongchen and others were worried that in the end, not to mention defeating the prosperous Shrek Academy, they might not even be able to defeat the crippled Shrek Academy.

They were very afraid that Shrek Academy would be defeated by other academies before they met them. That would be too embarrassing.

In the third round, the opponents of the Sun Moon Royal Soul Master Academy were similar to those of the Thousand Spirits Advanced Soul Master Academy, with one Soul King and six Soul Masters.

Apart from Ye Guyi who came on the field to gain experience and performed brilliantly, Liu Xing and others had been watching the game.

Of course, after so many games, they also want to play. After all, they have been watching the game and they are a little itchy.

But if you want to play, you have to at least face an opponent who is somewhat powerful. There is no point in fighting if you are too weak.

"Shrek Academy's opponents in the third round are not easy! Are they really going to stop here?"

Meng Hongchen showed a look of worry. Tomorrow is the eighth day of the Continental Advanced Soul Master Academy Soul Fighting Competition. Shrek Academy has finally run into a tough opponent.

"Zhengtian Academy, the top eight in the last tournament, had three Soul Kings and four Soul Masters. If Shrek Academy's three regulars haven't recovered yet, it will be difficult for them to win."

Old Ma tapped his pipe and said in a deep voice.

"There's no point in us worrying. We can only pray that they win."

Meteor also spread his hands. Unlike others, he thought Shrek Academy could win. And in the world line without him and Liuying, the Sun and Moon Royal Soul Instructor Academy would definitely lose to the remaining Shrek Academy.

Don’t ask why, it’s because of the protagonist’s halo.

Shrek Academy, Poseidon Pavilion.

"Mr. Mu, are you really not going to send anyone to support them? Their next opponent is Zhengtian Academy, and they're going to face three Soul Kings?"

An old man who was about to die was lying on a recliner, and standing next to him was Yan Shaozhe, the dean of the Martial Spirit Department of Shrek Academy.

At this moment, his face was full of worry.

Elder Mu smiled faintly and said, "Shaozhe, you're still too stubborn. Why do you have to win the championship? If we send someone, will those children still be inspired to realize their potential? Shaozhe! The world is about to undergo a major change. There's not much we old folks can do. The future belongs to them."

"You need to take a long-term view. This competition should be considered as training for them. No matter what place they get, you must be prepared to welcome them back. You can't let the kids fighting hard ahead of you feel discouraged."

"I understand, Mr. Mu."

Although Yan Shaozhe was still unwilling in his heart, it was too difficult for him to give up the thousand-year glory of Shrek Academy. But he also knew what Mu Lao meant. The world was about to merge and new tests were about to come. Their Shrek Academy needed to train new successors so that they could gain a firm foothold in the future when the two worlds merged.

And Mr. Mu is training his successor at the cost of Shrek Academy's thousand-year glory.

For the sake of Shrek Academy, Mu Lao has good intentions. His time is running out, and he may not even be able to survive the fusion of the two worlds. Xuan Zi is not up to the task, but for the time being, Xuan Zi is the only one who can take over his position in Shrek Academy.

Therefore, he could only work hard on the younger generation and cultivate the seeds of hope for Shrek Academy.

"Ugh!"

Old Mu sighed and looked with cloudy eyes at the golden tree that was growing taller and taller as the two worlds merged.

From the changes in the golden tree, Mu Lao has realized that the time for the complete integration of the two worlds is not far away.

But their Shrek Academy is not ready yet!
Old Mu's eyes dimmed. If he had not been injured, if the two worlds had merged a hundred years earlier, he would have had the opportunity to touch that legendary realm, but there is no if. The upper limit of the world has been raised, but he has already reached his limit!

"I really want to take a look at that realm!"

……

early morning.

After breakfast, Liuxing and others went to the competition venue.

Although they don't have a match today, there is a match for Shrek Academy, which is also a match that will determine the life or death of Shrek Academy. Of course, the Sun and Moon Royal Soul Instructor Academy will not miss it.

The atmosphere in Xingluo Square was as lively as ever, because the most popular Shrek Academy was going to appear again, so many people were looking forward to it.

The first few games of Shrek Academy did attract the attention of ordinary people like them. After all, those six blood-red spirit rings were so dazzling that it was natural for the common people, who even Soul Kings could hardly see, to be excited.

Shrek Academy will be the first to appear in today's competition. This seems to be the basic operation of the organizer.
