Chapter 202 Obtaining the Soul Bone (Two-in-One)
"Perhaps they are also testing the royal family's attitude towards the Duke's Palace!" For a long time, he seemed to have thought of something, and suddenly started to think about it.
"Not to mention that Dai Huabin sent people to intercept and kill Huo Yuhao in the first place. Just because the Qing family later sent people to the imperial city to confirm Dai Huabin's disposition and deposed Dai Huabin in front of all the ministers, the relationship between the two families is destined to be difficult. It will not be good in the future. It’s hard to say that there will be another conflict because of Huo Yuhao. If we don’t give him this face, I’m afraid this guy will think that we will protect the Duke’s Palace in the future.”
"Also, now that the war is approaching, we are auctioning strategic materials such as the 12 custom-installed soul guide shells and the eighth-level long-range soul guide cannon today. Does Minghui have any opinions? ”
"Of course, it's possible that I'm overthinking it. At Minghui's age, he may not be able to think of so much."
"Whether we thought of it or not, we must treat it as if he thought of it." Xu Jiawei said.
"Minghui is still young and may not think much, but the Qing family and Shrek Academy behind him are full of smart people."
"But from another perspective, isn't this an opportunity to make good friends?"
"It's just that, judging from Minghui's reply, it seems that he doesn't want to have too much involvement with my royal family, which is what I expected."
"No matter what, I must give this face, and I am willing to give it."
"As for the auction of those soul tools, I will give Shrek Academy an explanation later. We did this to provoke internal disputes within Mingde Hall and gain more time. For this reason, I want to come to Shrek Academy The academy will accept it.”
"Okay, little sister, it's time for you to go back." He looked at her for a long time.
"Next, I will keep an eye here. If the Sun Moon Royal Soul Engineer Academy's bid is too high and Minghui gives up the competition, I will bid for it here and use it as a reward for the championship. As for whether he can win it, then It depends on Shrek Academy’s ability.”
"And if the Sun and Moon Royal Soul Engineer Academy gives up the bidding, it's okay for us to be a favor."
Xu Jiujiu nodded slightly, turned and left.
Not long after, he returned to the exhibition hall, first bowed and apologized, and then made additional supplements about the absorption conditions of soul bones.
It immediately caused an uproar in every room, including the room where Xiao Hongchen was.
"The ultimate ice attribute, the absorption conditions are too harsh, right?!" The teammates who were traveling with him were very surprised.
"It shouldn't be false." Ma Lao said, "Princess Jiujiu's explanation is very reasonable."
"I also heard some introductions about the Ice Jade Scorpion from my grandpa." Meng Hongchen said, "It is said that this kind of soul beast originally had poison attributes, but in order to evolve to the extreme, it voluntarily gave up the poison attributes. From this point of view, it is just right It’s consistent 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 most ferocious beasts."
"Sister, this is a bit difficult to handle." Xiao Hongchen said helplessly, "I originally wanted to buy this soul bone for you to absorb."
"Now it seems that buying it will put you in danger."
Meng Hongchen shook his head, "Although my Zhu Qing Ice Toad martial spirit is also of the ice attribute, its eyes are of the fire attribute, and its abilities are mainly poison. The compatibility is actually not high, and it is difficult to exert the effect of the ice blast skill. Absorbing it rashly It might break the balance of the martial soul's attributes and hurt yourself, so it's not worth the gain. Now that you know the harsh conditions, it's better to give up the idea as soon as possible."
"You can't say that." Xiao Hongchen suddenly laughed, "What if my eldest nephew has a martial soul mutation in the future?"
Meng Hongchen immediately rolled her eyes at him, and then saw her brother saying seriously, "Who knows what will happen in the future? This soul bone's solidification skill, Ice Explosion, is indeed a magical skill. You can't find it if you can find it. You won't lose anything by taking it. It's a big deal." Sell it later.”
Meng Hongchen pondered for a moment, then nodded, "The price is not too high. You can indeed take a photo and collect it first."
"However, compared to this." She suddenly changed the subject, "Do you think Minghui's martial soul ice attribute will be the ultimate ice?"
"This is impossible!" Xiao Hongchen said without hesitation, "It is a miracle to mutate three attributes, but it is also the ultimate attribute. This is simply fantasy."
"What's more, he is also the owner of twin martial souls. How can anyone in the world awaken such a martial soul configuration!"
Meng Hongchen turned to look at Mr. Ma, the eldest person present, "Mr. Ma, what do you think?"
"I also think it's unlikely." Ma Lao said, "Let's not talk about whether this probability exists. Whether the body can bear it is a question. If the ice attribute really reaches the extreme, then at least there must be an attribute to balance it, and The three attributes, coupled with the twin martial souls, are very difficult to balance, and considering the genetic defects of the Guangling Divine Bow, it may be difficult for anyone to survive.”
"Anyway, I have never heard of a similar case on the mainland."
"If it really happened, it would no longer be a miracle, but a miracle!" Xiao Hongchen followed closely.
"Yes." Meng Hongchen nodded.
"However, that child's ice attribute is indeed very strong. Even if it is not the ultimate, it is probably not far behind." Mr. Ma added.
"There is also the one named Huo Yuhao, whose second martial soul's ice attribute strength is also quite high."
"That kid is also the owner of twin martial arts. To be honest, it really surprised me." Xiao Hongchen said.
"It is worthy of being hailed as the number one academy in the mainland by the three former empires. There are indeed many talented students."
"After all, a god has been born and has accumulated existence for thousands of years. The foundation is profound." Mr. Ma said with emotion.
Xiao Hongchen chuckled, "Ah, when our Sun and Moon Empire completes its great cause of unification, the number one college in the mainland will also change hands."
While several people were talking, the viewing time was over, and Xu Jiujiu announced that the starting price would be 10 million gold soul coins.
Mr. Ma motioned to the students to open the door and let the waitress in charge of quotations enter.
"11 million." Xiao Hongchen said immediately.
On the other side, Minghui looked indifferent, waiting for others to raise the price, and then occasionally raise the price when it slowed down.
In fact, there were very few people with the intention to buy, and only a few people made offers. It was obvious that they had chosen to give up after hearing the harsh admission conditions.
"15 million." Xiao Hongchen gave the final bottom line, telling them that they were really going to sell their soul tools.
Their Sun Moon Empire has nothing to do with the original three empires, and this is the imperial city of the Star Luo Empire. There is no industry in the city that can provide a large amount of funds. If they want to obtain enough funds, they have to sell their high-end souls produced by Mingdetang. Guide, there is no other way.
But isn't this a disguised form of sending samples to the Star Luo Empire for research?
It's not like Mingdetang is incapable of hunting a hundred thousand year old soul beast, but it's obviously not worth it for one that's less than a hundred thousand years old.
"15.05 million." Minghui, already the final contender, said calmly.
"Damn it, if I had known I would have brought more money with me when I came here." Xiao Hongchen looked sullen and finally chose to give up.
No one bid again, and after three beeps, Xu Jiujiu announced the deal.
Only then did Minghui smile, and at the same time he had some thoughts about the next game.
Not long after, the soul bone was brought back by Qingya, and 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 just go back and ask the two elders of the Noumenon Sect to allocate money directly. The auctioneer also knew that he had money, so he gave the soul bone first.
"Let's go back," Minghui said with a smile, "There's just enough time. I'm going to absorb the soul bones when I go back."
"With the soul bone skill of Ice Explosion, I also have a new idea for the next battle against the Sun and Moon Royal Soul Engineer Academy. I guarantee a win!"
"That seems to be really stable!" Gongyang Mo said with a smile.
So, everyone got up and returned to the hotel.
After returning to the hotel, Minghui immediately entered the room, closed the door and began to absorb soul bones.
The Ice Emperor said that with his strength and his own help, he could absorb it all in one day.
In fact, it was true that when the time came to the afternoon of the next day, he had successfully absorbed the soul bone and his soul power had successfully broken 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, without even watching the game.
This also made everyone in the Sun Moon Royal Soul Engineering Academy, who had just defeated Di'ao Academy in the individual elimination round, start to speculate.
"Could it be that Minghui took the picture of that soul bone and is absorbing it now?"
"But the ultimate ice, how is this possible?"
"If that's true, then our tactics will have to change again." "."
Twenty-four days before the start of the continent-wide 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 covered with clouds, the ground was covered with a layer of light mist, and occasionally drizzle fell, which also made the city ground A layer of water stains was applied.
The street leading directly from the hotel to the stadium was still covered with a big red carpet, and was heavily guarded on both sides. No one dared to approach.
The two teams walked side by side on the carpet, heading toward the arena.
"Minghui, you took the picture of that soul bone, right?" Xiao Hongchen, who was walking on the other side of Minghui, said suddenly.
Minghui turned his head and said with a smile, "What do you think?"
"Even if you absorb that soul bone, victory still belongs to our Sun and Moon Royal Soul Engineer Academy." Xiao Hongchen said confidently.
"That's crazy!" Minghui's face remained the same, "How about a bet?"
"What are you betting on?" Xiao Hongchen asked without hesitation.
Minghui knew that this guy couldn't make the final decision in sending a ninth-level soul tool, and anything else was of no use to him, so he nodded slightly.
Check out the 16-9 book bar and see the correct version!
"If you lose, call me Big Brother, and it will be valid for life."
"Okay!" Xiao Hongchen almost blurted out. He just took advantage of it verbally and had nothing to lose.
Minghui's slightly immature face was full of harmlessness, "For the sake of you calling me big brother in the future, I will be gentler later."
"Brother, I'll wait and see!" Xiao Hongchen said with a smile.
Neither team member answered the question, but sparks flew when the boys exchanged glances. They were all full of fighting spirit.
Not long after, the two teams of players entered the square.
Emperor Xu Jiawei of the Star Luo Empire had already been waiting on the city wall. When he saw both parties arriving, he nodded slightly to Dai Hao next to him.
"Quiet!" Dai Hao shouted softly, "The competition is about to begin. Your Majesty, please give a speech."
"Kill, kill, kill!" The surrounding soldiers raised their weapons and shouted, and the entire arena was filled with a murderous atmosphere.
Is this a demonstration against our Sun and Moon Empire? Xiao Hongchen is full of disdain.
It seems that Dai Hao's dominance in the military is even higher than that of his brother. Standing next to Xu Jiawei, Xu Jiujiu's eyes flickered. In her opinion, her brother letting Dai Hao do this would not only deter other countries. You're not testing Dai Hao.
While thinking, he subconsciously looked at Minghui, who looked calm and unmoved at all.
Emperor Xu Jiawei always had a smile on his face, and when the cheers subsided, he spoke. First he expressed some emotion, and then mentioned the championship reward, "According to convention, the winner of the continental soul master competition will receive three thousand-year soul bones. As well as a reward of one million gold soul coins, I have carefully selected ten soul bones from the treasury for the champion to choose from today's competition."
When the words were finished, Tiansha Douluo Huang Jinxu, who was once again the referee, flashed to the competition stage.
The next moment, another ray of light fell, but it did not fall on the viewing platform, but on the Shrek team rest area.
It immediately attracted countless gazes.
"Mr. Xuan." Zhang Lexuan greeted everyone politely.
On the other side, the leader of the Sun Moon Royal Soul Engineer Academy had changed his expression, but he quickly recovered.
Huang Jinxu's expression quickly recovered, and he turned around to explain the rules of the match, and then announced that the match would start in one minute.
All the students at Shrek Academy immediately looked at Minghui.
As of now, Minghui has not yet arranged the tactics and configuration. He only said that he will know when the time comes.
Then Minghui said calmly, "Senior Yao, Senior Mo, you two follow me."
Everyone was stunned, including Xuanzi and Zhang Lexuan.
"Where are the others?" Ma Xiaotao asked subconsciously.
"Just the three of us." Minghui said.
Everyone was startled, and Ma Xiaotao said hurriedly, "Xiaohui, isn't this arrangement too risky?"
"Xiao Tao, can you still not believe me?" Minghui said with a smile, "Don't worry, I know it well. If everything goes well, maybe I can win the championship this time."
Everyone was suspicious and didn't know what kind of medicine Minghui had buried in his stomach, but in view of his previous performance, they still chose to believe it.
Xuanzi even said, "Don't worry, this guy is very seductive. He probably has some bad water hidden in his belly."
When Xu Sanshi heard this, he immediately said, "Nothing else to say, just pay attention to safety."
A minute passed quickly, and Tiansha Douluo announced that both sides were on the field.
Seven teammates from Sun Moon Royal Academy immediately stood up, including captain Ma Rulong, Xiao Hongchen, and Meng Hongchen. For insurance, it can be said that the main force came out together.
Several people looked up at the rest area of Shrek Academy, and saw that only Minghui led Gong Yangmo and Yao Haoxuan out of the crowd, and their brows instantly furrowed.
"Are you looking down on us?" A teammate looked angry.
"What's going on at Shrek Academy? Why did three people come out?" The audience also exploded.
Standing on the city wall, Xu Jiujiu looked shocked, obviously he did not expect such a 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 people from Shrek Academy as fools. The other party must have their own considerations in making such arrangements. Provoking us and exposing our strength may be part of it. Don't act recklessly."
"What the captain said is that it's better for us to be more cautious." Meng Hongchen followed closely.
Xiao Hongchen regained his composure and said in a low voice, "Anyway, they only have three people on board, so fast break tactics are the best. Looking at the arrangement on the other side, we know that the core must be Minghui. As long as we suppress it as soon as possible He will win this game!”
Ma Rulong nodded slightly, "I agree with this, so 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 is 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 use all your strength."
A method of provoking generals? Ma Rulong frowned slightly and was unsure for a moment, but still whispered, "Be careful later."
Xiao Hongchen disagreed and kept his eyes on Minghui, waiting for the game to start.
Meng Hongchen also set his sights on Minghui, secretly guessing Minghui's intentions.
"Brother Xian, what do you think of Shrek Academy's arrangements?" On the city wall, Xu Jiawei turned to look at Dai Hao.
Dai Hao pondered for a moment and said, "Either he chooses to give up the victory in this first team battle and aims to force the opponent to make more preparations. Or, he has absolute confidence in his own strength and is confident of defeating them in one fell swoop. As for the rest, I can’t tell.”
Xu Jiawei smiled and nodded slightly, "Brother Xian's idea coincides with mine."
"Next, let's wait and see."
As soon as he finished speaking, Tiansha lowered his raised right hand and softly shouted, "The game begins!"
PS: Happy New Year’s Day!
