Chapter 124: The Peak of the Soul, Proud of the World, As Long as I Laugh at the World, There Will Be Heaven As Huo Yuhao had expected, the starting price for the 100,000-year soul beast embryo reached 100 million gold soul coins. This number is unprecedented and will never be surpassed, and all the guests attending the auction were amazed. Although the bidding for the last hundred thousand year soul beast embryo was very fierce, Xiao Hongchen straightened his back because he had his grandfather as his backer. Mingde Hall has been known for gathering wealth from all over the world by selling soul guides in recent years. No one knows how many gold soul coins the head of Mingde Hall has on him, but it can be seen from the fact that Xiao Hongchen and Meng Hongchen carry tens of millions of gold soul coins whenever they go out. The head of Mingde Hall is as rich as a country. Xiao Hongchen sat down on the sofa in the box, as if he was ready to give orders and make decisions. He was even more arrogant when he participated in the bidding, showing his rich and inhumane character. In the end, as expected, this hundred thousand year soul beast embryo fell into Xiao Hongchen's hands at the sky-high price of 150 million gold soul coins. When the auction was announced as successful, the excitement on Xiao Hongchen's face was beyond words. He seemed to have seen himself becoming the most powerful genius in Douluo Continent after successfully fusing with a 100,000-year soul beast embryo.

At the pinnacle of the soul, proud of the world, as long as I smile at this world, there will be heaven! Huo Yuhao on the other side secretly breathed a sigh of relief. He felt relaxed because the plot did not go astray due to any butterfly effect. Xue Di's embryo was finally obtained by the Sun and Moon Royal Soul Instructor Academy. What he had to do now was to wait for the opportunity, and when the Benti Sect or some other force suddenly attacked Mingde Hall, he would take advantage of the chaos and fish in troubled waters to rescue Xue Di safely. But, I can only smile bitterly at this poor child in the world. Huo Yuhao looked at Xiao Hongchen, who was sitting on the chair with a crooked smile, with some pity. Silly child, still standing there laughing foolishly. I spent money and got nothing in return. It's totally unfair. But from another perspective, Xiao Hongchen can be said to have escaped a disaster. After all, with Xue Di's explosive temperament, if any human wanted to merge with it, he would definitely be blown to pieces by its self-destructive origin. VIP Box No. 1. The smile on Xu Jiawei's face had long since turned into gloom. "Asshole, why is this guy Mingde Hall Master here? All my plans have been disrupted." "Hmph, but it doesn't matter. One hundred and fifty million, you are really rich, but can you keep it? Master Mingde, I hope you like this gift from me." After saying that, Xu Jiawei slowly stood up and walked into a secret passage in the room. VIP Box No. 3. "Asshole, who is the one who made the offer? I'll kill him!" In the room, there were two strange-looking men sitting. Both of them were in their forties. The one who was speaking was tall, with an unnaturally thick right arm, and he had an aura like a prehistoric beast.

The other person was thin but had an abnormally swollen head. There were few hairs on the top of his head, making him look like a big-headed doll, which was a bit funny. The man with the extremely strong right arm was very angry. He was still not satisfied after cursing, so he slapped the coffee table next to him, and the coffee table turned into powder in an instant. Seeing this scene, the two maids in charge of bidding and the auctioneer in charge of explaining the prices in the box were trembling with fear. "Third brother, I've told you so many times that you should change your temper. You're not a child anymore, but you're still so unstable. Can that person hear you if you yell so loudly?" "It's easy to find out who took it, but the most important thing is to know how to get it back." As he spoke, the big-headed man narrowed his eyes, and then the air in the entire VIP room suddenly twisted violently. The two maids and the auctioneer who were trembling just now fell into confusion after a tremor, and stood there blankly without moving. "Go out and check the origins of the person who just won the bid for this 100,000-year-old soul beast embryo." The big-headed man said to the auctioneer who was in a daze. "Yes." The auctioneer agreed respectfully and turned away. "Second brother, our Benti Sect must obtain that thing. After we find out who got it, should we..." The man with the strong right arm made a gesture of wiping his neck, revealing his vicious look. "Idiot!" the big-headed man cursed. "We are currently in the period of the Continental Advanced Soul Master Academy Soul Fighting Competition. Xingluo City is full of good and bad people. Do you want to die if you fight here?" "What we need to do now is to find out where that thing has gone, go back to the sect and make a plan, gather strength and bring that thing back to the young master, understand!" Hearing this, the man with a strong right arm scratched his head, looking not very smart. Why not just rush in? Why bother making any plans? Second brother is becoming more and more timid, the man secretly complained in his heart. The day after the auction ended, the knockout round of the Continental Advanced Soul Master Competition from 16 to 8 began. Huo Yuhao did not join in the fun, but continued to study his original "scientific ninja tools" in the hotel room. The early launch hardware of the "Scientific Ninja Tools" has been completed, and he is now focusing his main energy on sealing his own ninjutsu and soul skills. And this is also the most important core of "Scientific Ninja Tools", which is the use of sealing techniques. Huo Yuhao originally did not know how to use the sealing technique, but after he loaded the fourth stage—Sasuke in White—he gained all of Orochimaru’s knowledge because Sasuke at this stage had absorbed Orochimaru’s memories. Therefore, the knowledge about sealing techniques naturally appeared in Huo Yuhao's memory. However, since this was not a ninjutsu that Sasuke himself mastered, it took Huo Yuhao quite a bit of effort to re-learn this sealing technique. On the other hand, the matches into the round of 16 and into the round of 8 did not put any pressure on the Sun Moon Royal Soul Instructor Academy. With their current configuration, even if Huo Yuhao does not play, they can still win even if facing some strong opponents. In the round of 16 to 8 and the round of 8 to 4, the Sun Moon Royal Soul Instructor Academy faced the Douling Royal Academy and the Di'ao Academy. Although these two academies had some strength, they were still unable to withstand the pure soul instructor combat methods of the Sun Moon Royal Soul Instructor Academy and were defeated. The Sun Moon Royal Soul Instructor Academy has reached the semi-finals. As for Shrek Academy, Huo Yuhao was very surprised that he learned from Xiao Hongchen a piece of information that was beyond his expectations.

Those three regular players from Shrek Academy who had disappeared for the entire game finally showed up. Although she appeared, Ling Luochen was still the only one on the field, but her soul power cultivation had actually reached the Soul Emperor level! This was completely unexpected for Huo Yuhao, because in the original novel, Ling Luochen's cultivation level in this competition was clearly only at the Soul King level. This can only mean one thing, the causal effect brought about by the God King Tang finally happened. Since Ling Luochen has reached the level of Soul Emperor, it is not surprising that Dai Yueheng and Ma Xiaotao, who have not appeared, are still holding back some unknown big moves. On the day of the semi-finals, in the early morning, after washing up and having breakfast, Huo Yuhao did not stay in the hotel, but appeared in Xingluo Square with everyone else. It was already the semi-finals, so Huo Yuhao naturally couldn't slack off any more. As soon as Shrek Academy appeared in Xingluo Square, it caused thunderous cheers. However, when the Sun Moon Royal Soul Instructor Academy team appeared on Xingluo Square, they were greeted with overwhelming boos. Huo Yuhao and the others are used to it. After all, this is the Star Luo Empire's home turf, and the Sun-Moon Empire has been in long-term friction with the Star Luo Empire on the northwest border. The people of the Xing Luo Empire are even more patriotic, so how could they possibly give a good face to the Sun and Moon Royal Soul Instructor Team? Huo Yuhao and his party came to the team's rest area as usual. The rest area had been renovated and now only had four areas. Each team was far apart from each other. Half an hour before the game started, members of the four teams arrived. For a moment, the atmosphere in the entire rest area became somewhat solemn. Not much time had passed. With ten minutes left before the draw for the competition, a ten-meter-wide red carpet suddenly extended from the direction of the imperial city gate to the front of the competition stage. Xingluo Emperor Xu Jiawei strode out surrounded by his guards, and beside him stood four old men. The four old men jointly exuded an extremely powerful aura, which shocked everyone in the viewing area. Those are four Titled Douluo! Under the protection of four Titled Douluo, Xu Jiawei stepped down from the competition stage and faced Xingluo Square. For a moment, the whole square gradually became quiet. Then, Xu Jiawei smiled and said, "The draw for the top four teams that will begin later will be the last draw for this competition. Therefore, I have decided to personally host the draw. I hope that the last four colleges can present the most exciting game scenes to everyone in the competition." As soon as he finished speaking, Tiansha Douluo Huang Jinxu, who had once dealt with Huo Yuhao, strode to the center of the competition stage. An indescribable powerful aura suddenly burst out from the old man, and the astonishing pressure even cleared the sky above Xingluo Square. "Captains of the four teams, come forward and draw lots." Ma Rulong, Xu Jiujiu, Ma Xiaotao and a young man of medium build went on stage as instructed. After the draw, Xu Jiawei personally checked the draw numbers and loudly announced the semi-final groupings. "As witnessed by the organizing committee of this competition, the arrangements for the semi-finals of this competition are as follows:" "Shrek Academy vs. Star Emblem Academy."

"Sun Moon Royal Soul Instructor Academy versus Star Luo National Academy." Xu Jiawei smiled and said, "I wish all four teams can show their full strength in the upcoming games. The draw is over, please prepare yourselves. Today's first team battle will be between the Sun Moon Royal Soul Instructor Academy team and the Xing Luo National Academy." The rules of the semi-finals and finals are different from before. They will not end in one day, but will be held over two days, divided into team battles and individual elimination rounds. And they must win both games to qualify. If both teams win one game each, then they will have to play an extra game with a 2-2-3 strategy. Everyone from the Sun Moon Royal Soul Instructor Academy gathered in front of Master Ma, waiting for him to arrange the tactics. Ma Lao looked around and said solemnly, "I feel something is wrong. That princess has never played in the Xingluo National Academy competition before. She has even just joined the substitute list. The opponent's strength is unknown. I don't know what she is planning." "In that case, Fang Yuan, you go ahead. We must win this team battle. Do you understand?" Everyone nodded at the same time and walked towards the ring. Over at Xingluo National Academy, the players who were about to go into battle came out one after another. Xu Jiujiu stood at the very front and glanced at the Sun Moon Royal Soul Instructor Academy with a calm gaze. Xingluo Emperor Xu Jiawei has returned to the Imperial City under the protection of several Titled Douluo and climbed to the top of the city wall to watch the battle. Although he had a smile on his face, no one knew that Xu Jiawei was furious. Because the result of the draw was not what he had originally planned. He couldn't help but think of the sloppy figure who came to see him late last night, drinking and eating meat. "Remember to arrange a match between your Xingluo National Team and the Sun Moon Royal Soul Instructor Academy tomorrow. If you can defeat them, then your Xingluo National Team will also have a quarter of the credit for our Shrek Academy's final championship trophy." An unknown Chicken Leg Douluo said so. What could Xu Jiawei do? He could only do as he was told. After all, we still have to rely on Shrek Academy in the future, so we can't afford to offend it. But what made him angry was not Xuan Zi's meddling in the affairs of his ruler. After all, it's a signing thing, and it's happened more than once or twice, so Xu Jiawei is used to it. What made him angry was that Xuan Zi's attitude was completely like treating their Xingluo National Academy as cannon fodder. What does it mean to achieve something? We deserve a quarter of the credit for the Shrek Academy trophy. Anyway, it is assumed that we will lose, and the Sun Moon Royal Soul Instructor Academy will definitely win, right? It’s so disrespectful! Xu Jiawei gritted his teeth and said seriously, if it weren't for the fact that Xuanzi's cultivation was too strong, having already reached level 98, there would not be a single priest in the entire Xingluo Empire who could compare to him. He really wanted the priests to beat him up. "Damn, you look down on us, don't you? Shrek, let me show you that this move was originally meant for you!" "Jiujiu, you must not lose. Let these little brats from Sun and Moon experience the taste of failure." Xu Jiawei stared at what was happening on the stage without blinking. On the competition stage, the game has not yet begun, but as the players from both teams stare at each other, a strong smell of gunpowder has already spread.

Tiansha Douluo's cold voice sounded: "Both parties retreat. Before I declare the start of the match, no one may release their martial spirits." Players from both teams retreated at the same time, and the formation changed rapidly during this process. On the side of the Sun Moon Royal Soul Instructor Academy, everyone actually surrounded Huo Yuhao in the middle, with Huo Yuhao as the core. As for the Xingluo National Academy, the formation was an inverted triangle, with only Princess Jiujiu standing at the end, like the commander of the entire team. (End of this chapter)
