Was Chapter 183 intentional or accidental?
Upon hearing Huo Yuhao's words, Xu Jiujiu's charming face became more serious, no longer displaying the seductive demeanor she had before.
She readjusted her posture, pressing her body even closer to Huo Yuhao, and whispered seductively in his ear:
"If you just nod your head and agree to stay and be my prince consort, the entire Star Luo royal family's treasury will be my dowry. You can choose whatever good things are inside. How about it?"
"Does your brother know that you're planning to empty the entire Star Luo Treasure Vault?"
Huo Yuhao did not answer Xu Jiujiu's question directly. Instead, he reached out and gently squeezed her palm, asking her in return with interest.
Upon hearing this, Xu Jiujiu rolled her eyes at him in a cute way, though she was annoyed.
"Hmph, if he hadn't been nagging me like a fly every day until my ears were practically calloused, do you think I would have been this bold today?"
Since he's so eager to win you over, and I'm someone he's already committed to, isn't it only natural for me to side with my future husband? But hey, it's not as extreme as you're saying, like emptying out the whole place.
"If that's the case, why should I stay and be a thankless and exhausting prince consort?"
For a moment, the two of them looked at each other and smiled, like two little fox spirits who had already made their plans and were about to join forces to empty someone else's chicken coop.
In VIP room number one, Xu Jiawei, who was sitting alone on a large sofa and dressed in an elegant black robe, suddenly felt a strange chill rise from his back, making him shiver involuntarily.
At the same time, auctioneer Wan'er's voice continued, beginning to explain in detail the astonishing changes that occurred after the two leg bones were combined with the soul bones.
"As all of you esteemed guests know, the success rate of soul bone synthesis is extremely low, and every attempt is nothing short of a gamble."
Furthermore, the fact that these two soul bones are a pair of the same type, on top of their success, makes their rarity self-evident. Below, I will explain in detail the key characteristics of this pair of soul bones.
"The first point is its inherent attributes. As we all know, most soul bones do not have strict requirements on the martial soul attributes of the absorber, even 100,000-year soul bones. Before the soul bone synthesis, these two leg bones from the Netherworld Ghost Tiger also followed this rule."
However, after repeated verification by several soul bone research experts invited to our auction house, the attributes of this pair of soul bones have fundamentally changed. They are best absorbed by the same soul master, and only when that soul master's martial soul is of the dark or nether attribute, can they achieve their maximum effect. This is closely related to the soul skills they come with.
Auctioneer Wan'er spoke with a touch of solemnity.
"The second point concerns the soul skills attached to these two soul bones. Everyone is probably familiar with the Netherworld Tiger's innate ability of etherealization. After the soul bones were combined, the soul skills attached to these two soul bones were not only completely solidified, but also sublimated from the original etherealization into an even more powerful void."
Even after numerous tests and simulations by our Starlight Auction House, if the Soul Master who absorbs this Soul Bone has a sufficiently compatible Martial Soul, after reaching the Soul Saint realm, they may even be able to transform the Void Soul Skill into a true Void Domain.
What a domain means to a Soul Master is something I think everyone here understands very well. This is precisely why we repeatedly emphasize that it's best for a Dark or Netherworld attribute Soul Master to absorb it. Even if a Soul Master of other attributes absorbs it, they can only exert its basic effect, and its power will be greatly reduced.
"As for the third point, it is both its disadvantage and its advantage." Auctioneer Wan'er changed the subject, adding a subtle hint, "That is, the age of these soul bones is only between 30,000 and 40,000 years."
"There is no doubt that the physical requirements for absorbing a Soul Master are not too high. According to our assessment, a Soul Master with a Beast Soul Attack type can attempt to absorb one as long as their cultivation reaches the Soul Master level."
As auctioneer Wan'er gave a detailed and detailed explanation, Huo Yuhao couldn't help but twitch his lips slightly. He turned his head to look at Xu Jiujiu, who looked innocent and seemed to know nothing.
Was it intentional or accidental?
Huo Yuhao had already realized what was going on when he heard that the two soul bones were most compatible with the dark or netherworld attributes.
This introduction practically told him by name who was most suitable to use these two soul bones.
It's not so much that it was tailor-made for Zhu Lu, but rather that it was made entirely based on her template.
Especially considering the consistent tradition of the owner of the Netherworld Cat Martial Soul absorbing Soul Beasts and generating Soul Skills, when he reaches the Soul Master level, his fourth Soul Skill will inevitably be to hunt down Ghost Tigers to generate the core Soul Skill "Netherworld Shadow Clone".
This is the best soul skill choice passed down through the Zhu family for tens of thousands of years and verified by countless generations of ancestors; it can be described as a carefully selected choice by the ancestors.
The Netherworld Ghost Tiger is a superior soul beast of the ordinary ghost tiger, so its soul bone compatibility is naturally high.
These leg bones, which had undergone soul bone synthesis, had undergone a significant power enhancement, and whose absorption threshold was precisely at the Soul Master level, were extremely suitable for Zhu Lu to absorb.
This level of compatibility is abnormally high. Huo Yuhao is almost certain that this is something the Star Luo royal family deliberately put out.
Especially when thinking about his past life, the same thing happened with the left arm bone of that icy scorpion.
He didn't believe that Xu Jiawei at that time would not know that he possessed the Ultimate Ice Martial Soul.
However, the absorption conditions for the Ice Jade Scorpion's left arm bone are extremely demanding, and it can only be used by those who are not top-tier Ice Soul Masters. This is why Xu Jiawei was able to do this favor more smoothly in his previous life.
"You know my brother, he always likes to have multiple backup plans. That's called multiple insurance policies."
Seemingly seeing through Huo Yuhao's thoughts, he narrowed his eyes after a long while and said softly:
"If I fail to win you over, and you truly have no interest in me, Princess, then these two soul bones can serve as a favor, to help us get closer."
Furthermore, if the White Tiger Duke's mansion is to be dealt with next, the Zhu family will naturally be involved as well. It's just that the young lady from the Zhu family beside you makes my brother a little unsure about his attitude towards you.”
She paused again, a slightly unnatural look appearing on her charming face, and her voice lowered:
"If you decide to bid, you can go directly to our Star Luo Royal Family's account; consider it part of my dowry to you in advance."
Upon hearing this, Huo Yuhao's eyelids twitched violently a few times.
They took Princess Xingluo's dowry and gave it to other girls.
This is just too outrageous.
Huo Yuhao's lips twitched involuntarily, and he said with a hint of helplessness, "It's not that bad."
As he spoke, he took out a card from his storage soul tool. The card was made entirely of gold and jade and was engraved with an exquisite Nine Treasures Glazed Pagoda pattern.
Upon seeing the gold card, Xu Jiujiu's pupils instinctively contracted, but she quickly recovered.
She poked Huo Yuhao's soft waist with her small hand, her tone carrying a hint of sour teasing:
"What, you're going to use your girlfriend's dowry instead of mine? Little Yuhao, that's a bit unfair of you."
Xu Jiujiu naturally recognized this gold card.
This can be considered a symbol of identity for the most core members of the Nine Treasure Glazed Tile School.
The highest credential an outsider can obtain at the Nine Treasures Pavilion, which is run by the Nine Treasures Glazed Tile School, is a top-tier red VIP card.
In Xu Jiujiu's view, this golden VIP card could only be a token of love given to Huo Yuhao by Ning Tian, the future heir of the Nine Treasure Glazed Tile School.
The card's greatest function is that it allows the holder to directly access the Nine Treasure Glazed Tile School's funds at any reputable merchant house or auction house on the mainland.
The sheer amount of money it can mobilize is enough to make most people incredibly envious.
Seeing that she had misunderstood, Huo Yuhao had no choice but to whisper a few words in her ear to explain.
As he narrated, the shock on Xu Jiujiu's face deepened, then transformed into a complex expression of bewilderment, a mixture of amusement and exasperation.
"I'm starting to seriously doubt whether you're some kind of reincarnated deity, otherwise these bizarre things just don't make sense."
Huo Yuhao shrugged but didn't reply.
He didn't intend to keep certain things a secret for much longer.
After all, once the competition ends and she starts working at the Spirit Pagoda, she will naturally find out the true identity of her so-called "Spirit Ice Master".
"So, the credit limit on this card is the result of my own hard work, not Xiaotian's dowry."
Huo Yuhao explained with a smile, "In fact, Xiaotian's own access limit is probably lower than mine."
Hearing Huo Yuhao's clarification, Xu Jiujiu's eyes almost curved into two crescent moons, and she snuggled closer to Huo Yuhao, leaning against him in an even more intimate posture.
"Okay, okay, I'm not some jealous little girl. I'm not that sensitive. I don't need you to explain everything to me in detail."
On the contrary, the way you explain it so earnestly makes you even cuter. If you ever feel wronged or bullied by your girlfriends, you can always come to your older sister's arms and whine to her.
In any case, Xu Jiujiu had completely figured out Huo Yuhao's personality.
This guy is a passive blockhead when it comes to relationships; he's clueless and never takes the initiative.
If I were to act coy and obedient, waiting for him to pursue me, then I would only be able to hide under the covers and secretly wipe away my tears later.
Now, what she originally considered a disadvantage due to her age has become a small advantage.
She could have used her status as the "big sister" to legitimately "comfort" and "love" her younger brother, Xiao Yuhao.
Looking into Xu Jiujiu's alluring eyes, which seemed to drip with moisture, and feeling the warmth and fragrance emanating from her body, Huo Yuhao felt a sudden tightness in his heart.
The other party knew exactly what they wanted, and this clear and powerful aggression was clearly something he couldn't handle.
Meanwhile, in VIP room number seven.
Looking at the two translucent soul bones on the screen, even with her calm demeanor, Zhang Lexuan couldn't help but catch her breath slightly.
Even in Shrek Academy's treasure trove, there are only a handful of successful soul bone synthesis cases, let alone one that comes with a powerful soul skill like "Void".
The academy's ancient books clearly record that the 100,000-year soul ring produced after the sacrifice of Tang San's wife, the 100,000-year-old Soft Bone Rabbit, contained this soul skill.
Compared to "Etherealization," which only provides immunity to some physical damage, "Void" provides complete immunity to all physical damage.
More importantly, it can provide immunity to up to 50% of attacks, whether in energy form or at the mental level, making it undoubtedly one of the top-tier support soul skills in the Douluo Continent.
Of course, limited by the age of the soul bones themselves, the "Void" soul skill they grant can only immunize against 20% of non-physical damage, but even so, it is still an incredibly powerful support-type soul skill.
only……
Zhang Lexuan's gaze involuntarily fell on Zhu Lu, who was sitting next to Cui Yajie and talking quietly with several girls around her.
Before she knew Huo Yuhao's true identity, she naturally wouldn't have thought much about it.
But now, behind this Starlight Auction House stands the royal family of the Star Luo Empire.
A soul bone of this caliber would normally never be put up for auction.
The fact that it's placed here undoubtedly indicates a strong purpose.
Zhang Lexuan could easily figure out the real reason behind this even with her toes.
On the other side, Ning Tian turned his head slightly and whispered, "Lulu, how about I bid for these two soul bones for you first?"
Since her martial soul successfully evolved into the Nine Treasure Glazed Tile Pagoda, her status as the young sect leader within the sect has become undisputed, and her authority to mobilize sect resources has also increased accordingly.
According to her estimate, although these soul bones are precious, due to their strong attribute orientation and relatively low age, the final transaction price should fluctuate around 30 million gold soul coins.
She was able to make the decision and pay the amount for her best friend first.
Of course, she also knew in her heart that, given Huo Yuhao's personality, he would probably still have to pay for the gold soul coins in the end.
However, the thought that Huo Yuhao might be being entangled by that vixen princess at this very moment, doing all sorts of intimate things that Ning Tian had never tried, made Ning Tian feel a pang of jealousy.
She couldn't help but reflect on whether she had fallen too far behind in her recent progress.
Upon hearing this, Zhu Lu shook her head vigorously, refusing immediately: "No, no, Xiao Tian, this is too valuable, I can't accept it."
At that moment, she suddenly felt a sense of relief that Huo Yuhao wasn't by her side.
Otherwise, given his personality, he probably would have just paid for Wang Dong'er's bill while laughing and joking, just like last time when he did.
Even though their relationship is indeed extraordinary, Zhu Lu really doesn't want Huo Yuhao to sacrifice so much for her.
After all, she didn't know how to repay the kindness of the Narcissus Jade Bone last time.
Now, if we add these two exceptionally precious soul bones to the equation, I'm afraid we'll never be able to repay this debt, not even in this life or the next.
