Douluo: Huo Yuhao Returns from Devouring the Stars

Xu Jiujiu frowned slightly, and after a quick look at Huo Yuhao, he asked gently, "What's the problem?"

"There is nothing wrong with this soul bone itself, and it is an extremely perfect soul bone." Huo Yuhao said expressionlessly.

"Ok?"

Xu Jiujiu frowned slightly. Her royal etiquette and self-cultivation allowed her to remain calm in such an emergency. She continued in a gentle tone, "Then what's the problem?"

Huo Yuhao nodded and said, "Your Highness, you should know that the Ice Jade Scorpion clan is the royal family of the Far North. They wield the ultimate power of ice. The clan's emperor, the Ice Jade Emperor Scorpion, is one of the three great kings of the Far North. His combat power is second only to the Snow Emperor in the Far North, and he ranks eighth on the continent's list of fierce beasts. Therefore, this clan is extremely proud of itself."

"That is, the spirit bones and spirit rings produced by this clan have extremely stringent requirements."

"What's the request?" Xu Jiujiu asked in a gentle tone.

Huo Yuhao said in a deep voice: "To absorb the spirit rings and spirit bones of the Ice Jade Scorpion clan, only the owner of the Ultimate Ice Martial Spirit can do so!"

"How is this possible? I've never heard of such harsh conditions for absorbing the spirit rings and spirit bones of the Ice Jade Scorpion clan..." Xu Jiujiu murmured with some self-doubt.

"How do you prove that what you said is true? Are you the owner of the Ice Jade Scorpion spirit?" Xu Jiujiu stared at Huo Yuhao's deep blue eyes and asked in a deep voice.

Huo Yuhao nodded and said, "Your Highness, I can certainly prove it, and I can guarantee the authenticity of these questions. But what good will that do me? Your auction house is facing the risk of losing its reputation."

"This..." Xu Jiujiu's beautiful almond-shaped eyes narrowed slightly, and she pursed her lips unconsciously.

Chapter 85 Give it a try

"Your Highness, if there is any problem with what Huo Yuhao said, we are willing to take full responsibility for the losses caused to your auction house. But if there is no problem with what Yuhao said and he can provide proof, then we will buy this soul bone for no more than five million gold soul coins. How about that?" Yu Yu smiled wisely and said at the right time.

She was stunned for a long time. As the Princess of Xingluo and the representative of the Royal Academy in participating in this competition, she had naturally done in-depth research on the Sun and Moon Royal Team.

Therefore, she naturally knew who the boy who was talking to her was, who the girl with stunning beauty behind the boy was, and who was the person who seized the opportunity to "blackmail" the Starlight Auction House.

She was definitely unwilling to accept Yu Yu's proposal. If there was really something wrong with this soul bone and she auctioned it off, the reputation of the auction house would suffer a serious blow.

If the auction is suspended and this guy named Huo Yuhao really produces convincing evidence, the Sun-Moon Royal Team will get a huge bargain. If this soul bone falls into the hands of the Sun-Moon Royal Team, it will be tantamount to aiding the enemy.

The problem was that the person who pointed out the flaw in this soul bone was from the Sun and Moon Royal Team, which made it difficult for her not to suspect that the other party was looking for trouble.

But if there is no problem with this soul bone, then the Starlight Auction House will be able to make a fortune. With the strong financial resources of the Sun and Moon Royal Soul Instructor Academy, it will definitely be able to bid for this soul bone. Therefore, the core of the problem lies in how much profit the Starlight Auction House will make from this auction.

Of course, she could also withdraw the item from the auction in time and take it home to display as a work of art.

There are so many things involved that even Princess Xingluo finds it difficult to make a decision at once.

"Dear guests, this matter is of great importance and must be handled with caution. Please wait here for my news."

Xu Jiujiu bowed again and then left the room in a hurry.

Soon, Xu Jiujiu arrived at a noble and luxurious private room.

"Brother, something happened." Xu Jiujiu pushed open the door and said anxiously.

"what happened?"

Xu Jiawei, who was sitting on the sofa sipping fragrant tea, raised his head and asked in confusion.

"Someone from the Sun and Moon Royal Team who came to our Starlight Auction House pointed out that the soul bone we are about to auction has a fatal problem!"

"what is the problem?"

Xu Jiawei raised his eyebrows. He didn't have a good impression of the Sun and Moon Royal Team. They had often embarrassed them in major competitions. He had long wanted to eliminate the arrogance of this team representing the Sun and Moon Empire.

"They said that only the owner of the ultimate ice martial soul can absorb and fuse this soul bone. Ordinary ice attribute soul masters cannot absorb it at all!" Xu Jiujiu said with a complicated expression.

Xu Jiawei frowned, wondering how a good soul bone could have such harsh restrictions.

He has ruled Xingluo for more than twenty years and has never heard of such a ridiculous thing!

When did the conditions for absorbing soul bones become so harsh?!

"Then doesn't it mean that no one in the world can absorb and fuse this soul bone?"

Xu Jiawei frowned. With such bizarre words, it was hard not to suspect that the Sun and Moon Royal Team was looking for trouble with the Starlight Auction House!

"What are their reasons?"

There was a hint of anger in Xu Jiawei's eyes. It was bad enough that the Sun and Moon Royal Team acted recklessly on the field, but they actually came to my Starlight Auction House to pick a fight. Did they really think that I, Xingluo, had a good temper?

Xu Jiujiu hurriedly told Xu Jiawei all the reasons Huo Yuhao had just given and the proposal put forward by Yu Yu. After listening to Xu Jiujiu's words, Xu Jiawei frowned even more tightly.

He thought for a moment and said, "Then we should cancel the auction item first. If there really is something wrong with this soul bone, the reputation of the Starlight Auction House cannot withstand such a blow, especially when the finale of a top-tier auction has a problem..."

"If the Sun-Moon Royal Team cannot provide me with convincing proof, they will pay a heavy price for their actions today!"

Xu Jiawei certainly didn't believe that the Sun and Moon Royal Team could provide strong evidence.

How is it possible that the Sun and Moon Royal Team just happened to come to the Starlight Auction House's top auction and just happened to discover that there was a problem with the finale item of the top auction?

And can it provide strong evidence?

Compared to this perfect coincidence, he would rather believe that it was the Sun and Moon Royal Team that was causing trouble again.

After all, the Sun-Moon Royal Team did do a lot of things in this competition that gave him a headache and made him angry.

"Brother, if they really come up with convincing evidence, wouldn't we be aiding the enemy?" Xu Jiujiu said hesitantly.

"With the financial resources of the Sun Moon Royal Academy, they could have won the soul bone at a normal auction. There's absolutely no need to do this. If they don't want to take it away at a low price, then they're deliberately looking for trouble with the auction house."

"Why would the powerful Sun Moon Empire Royal Soul Instructor Academy bother to argue with us? Aside from the latter reason, I really can't think of why they would go to such great lengths."

"If they can't produce strong evidence later, we'll use this as a chance to give them a good beating. If there's truly a problem, we'll just lose a bit of money to preserve the auction house's reputation."

Compared to taking the soul bone back and displaying it as a work of art to gather dust, he would rather take a chance with a high probability and teach the Sun and Moon Royal Team a lesson!

"it is good."

Xu Jiujiu nodded, and hurried to the auction room to suspend the auction of the Ice Jade Scorpion Soul Bone. He then took a number of professional soul bone appraisers and soul bones to the room where Huo Yuhao and the others were.

After entering, Xu Jiujiu bowed to Huo Yuhao and the others as usual before slowly saying, "We have suspended the auction of the Ice Jade Scorpion Soul Bone. If you cannot provide strong evidence, you will pay a heavy price for your recklessness today."

Huo Yuhao nodded, glanced at the spirit masters following behind Xu Jiujiu, and said, "Of course. However, in order to better prove the flaws of this spirit bone, I would like to ask Your Highness, is there any ice-attributed spirit master among them that you think can absorb this Ice Jade Scorpion Spirit Bone?"

Xu Jiujiu nodded and said, "Of course, this Soul Master Lu Xue's martial soul is the Ice Bear Martial Soul, a leader among ice-attribute martial souls, and he is a Seven-Ringed Soul Saint, so he can definitely absorb this soul bone."

"Well, how about I first prove why I dare to say that your soul bone has a fatal flaw? Then I can let this Lu Xue Soul Saint absorb this soul bone to verify that ordinary ice-attribute soul masters cannot absorb this soul bone's fatal flaw?"

Huo Yuhao paused and continued:

"Of course, if Soul Saint Lu Xue can absorb this soul bone, then this soul bone will be considered as a gift from us to her, and we will bear all the losses of your Starlight Auction House on this soul bone.

"But if Soul Saint Lu Xue is unable to absorb this soul bone, then we can buy it for no more than five million gold soul coins. The Starlight Auction House is well-funded and should have enough money. We can then buy it for one million gold soul coins. How about that?"

"You..." Xu Jiujiu looked at Huo Yuhao with a serious expression and couldn't help but frown.

This guy, who looked no more than thirteen or fourteen years old, could actually bargain with her, the Princess Xingluo, without blushing or beating his heart. He was thoughtful and even slashed the transaction price of the soul bone!

Xu Jiujiu took a deep breath and said, "Okay."

It's only a matter of about three or four million gold soul coins. If the other party can't provide convincing evidence to her, the auction house will take it back many times over!

"Okay, then please let them go out for a while. I'll start the first proof."

Huo Yuhao looked at the soul masters who were identifying soul bones behind Xu Jiujiu and said lightly.

Xu Jiujiu looked at Huo Yuhao doubtfully, and without hesitation, he said, "You two go out and wait first. I'll call you back in later."

"Yes, Your Highness Princess!"

After more than ten soul masters left one after another and closed the door, he said in a deep voice after a long while: "Please begin."

Huo Yuhao glanced at Yu Yu, Meng Hongchen, and Xu Jiujiu, then stood aside. A cold air suddenly flashed in his deep blue eyes, like an emperor ascending the throne, with an aura that looked down upon the world.

Chapter 86 Princess, I'm Sorry

"Your Highness, I'm sorry."

Huo Yuhao took off his shirt, revealing his bare upper body. His deep blue eyes flashed with light, and then a white soul ring slowly rose from under him. On his sturdy back appeared a lifelike Ice Jade Emperor Scorpion tattoo that was extremely similar to the Ice Jade Scorpion!

The tattoo seemed to come alive, its emerald green eyes staring at Xu Jiu for a long time, making him shudder.

In an instant, the temperature in the room dropped sharply, a thick layer of mist covered the windows, and the breath exhaled by the four people turned into white mist.

"You...you are the owner of the Ice Jade Scorpion spirit?!"

Xu stared at the exquisite Ice Jade Scorpion tattoo on Huo Yuhao's back for a long time and couldn't help but exclaimed.

Huo Yuhao nodded, then put away his Ice Emperor spirit and said calmly while putting on his clothes:

"That's right. I possess the Ice Jade Scorpion Martial Soul. So, Your Highness, you should understand that as the owner of the Ice Jade Scorpion Martial Soul, I should have a say in whether the Ice Jade Scorpion Soul Bone has any fatal problems."

He stared at Huo Yuhao, a tall and handsome man, for a long time, with a hint of shock and solemnity in his almond-shaped eyes.

I didn’t expect that this guy named Huo Yuhao is actually a genius with twin martial souls!

And one of the martial souls is the Ice Scorpion martial soul that possesses the ultimate ice!

This Sun-Moon Royal Team is truly full of hidden talents. In addition to the extremely troublesome Meng Hongchen, there is actually a twin martial soul genius with the ultimate ice martial soul!

She lowered her eyes in thought for a long time, a trace of unwillingness flashing across her beautiful face.

Could it be that the soul bone is really as he said, and can only be absorbed by the owner of the ultimate ice martial soul?

Xu Jiujiu sighed and called in Lu Xuehunsheng who was waiting outside the door.

"Soul Saint Lu Xue, if you can successfully absorb this soul bone, then it will be yours, and we will pay the price for you."

Huo Yuhao paused, then said solemnly, "However, if you find yourself unable to absorb this soul bone, it's best not to force it. Otherwise, the terrifying energy contained in this soul bone will directly explode your arm, leading to even more horrific consequences."

Knowing that she could really fuse soul bones worth tens of millions of gold soul coins for free, Lu Xue nodded excitedly and said, "Don't worry, I will know my limits."

Xu Jiujiu carefully took out the Ice Jade Scorpion's left arm bone from the wooden box and placed it on the table. "Without further delay, let's begin the fusion."

"Yes! Your Highness Princess!"

So, under the witness of the four people, Lu Xue happily fused the left arm bone of the Ice Jade Scorpion.

At the beginning of the fusion, everything went smoothly. The left arm bone of the Ice Scorpion was slowly merging with Lu Xue's left arm. But just when she was about to merge further, she found that an extremely cold energy appeared in the soul bone, which was faintly repelling her absorption.

Lu Xue frowned slightly and continued to fuse the left arm bone of the Ice Jade Scorpion. However, as she intensified the fusion of the soul bones, the icy energy in the soul bones that repelled her from fusing with it became stronger and stronger, and invaded her arm like a maggot attached to the bone, making her break out in a cold sweat.

When she thought that this was a necessary stage in the fusion of soul bones and continued the fusion, the ultimate ice energy contained in the soul bones suddenly erupted. The terrifying ultimate ice energy poured into her left arm like a flood that broke through a dam. The entire left arm was occupied by the terrifying ultimate ice at a speed visible to the naked eye!

If not dealt with immediately, her left arm and even her entire body will be filled with the extreme ice energy in her soul bone until it explodes or turns into a human ice sculpture!

Seeing the sudden change in Lu Xue's left arm, Xu Jiujiu looked at Huo Yuhao with a frown on his face and asked anxiously, "What should we do? Do you have a solution?"
