Chapter 109 Reactions from All Sides, the Gluttonous and Clever Langya
One hundred and fifty million — in cash?
The woman in the black dress accepted the limited edition Ruijin Money House card, valid throughout the continent. The gold card had nine red lines on it, and when she held it, she could feel a faint warmth emanating from it, making it very comfortable to hold.
But what shocked her even more was not the nine strands of crimson warm jade that brought a feeling of warmth, but the material used to make the main body of the card.
Golden clouds, they're actually golden clouds!
As one of the most senior Black-level auctioneers at Starlight Auction House, she has handled countless rare and precious items. Anything that can move her heart is certainly not an ordinary thing.
Golden Cloud, one of the most precious rare metals, is considered a luxury even when used to create the core array of a level nine soul tool. Often, only some powder is sprinkled on it to increase its soul power load capacity.
In the past, Starlight Auction House received a small piece of golden cloud, which was auctioned off for a sky-high price of millions. This Golden Soul Card in front of her was actually made entirely of golden cloud. How could this not shock her?
This card alone is probably worth more than the level 8 soul tool, the Heaven-Opening Earth-Piercing Cannon, reaching an astonishing tens of millions.
The woman in the black dress completed the payment as if in a dream, her expression dazed.
But she wasn't the only one shocked at this moment. In VIP Room Number One, Ma Xiaotao was completely stunned. The expressions of the other Shrek members were also varied: some were envious, some were indifferent, some were jealous, and some were gloomy and uncertain.
Huo Yuhao's eyes were no longer as clear as in the original work. After being repeatedly attacked by Kong Tianxu, he had begun to doubt himself.
Although Ma Xiaotao had already decided not to make a move on this embryo, and Tianmeng Ice Silkworm had also analyzed the advantages for him, he still couldn't hide the turmoil in his mind. If he could obtain another martial soul, would he be able to surpass Kong Tianxu?
"Yuhao".
In the sea of spirits, Electrolux's weathered voice slowly resounded.
"What's wrong, Elder Yi?" Huo Yuhao still respected Elder Yi quite a bit. They were both human, which made him feel completely different from Tianmeng and Bingdi, who were soul beasts.
"Make good use of the power you already possess. For example, there's still a lot you and your partner haven't explored. When necessary, I'll also let you experience what true control is."
"Old Master Yi?"
Huo Yuhao pressed for details with delight, but Electrolux seemed to recall something, and fell silent again after saying those words.
What Mr. Yi means is————
And me and Wang Dong?
As Huo Yuhao pondered Electrolux's words and thought about the several powerful figures sleeping within his body, his previously anxious and uncertain state of mind gradually calmed down.
He turned to look at Wang Dong, who was leisurely eating fruit. Despite being the youngest, Wang Dong was the most composed person in the room.
The most surprised person was Wang Yan. As a teacher, his understanding of money was much deeper than that of these students. You should know that Shrek City, which was originally the most prosperous and concentrated city-state in Douluo Continent, only had a tax revenue of 200 million gold soul coins in a whole year. This is without even taking into account all kinds of expenses throughout the year.
He brought his team here this time, and the academy had already given him a very high credit limit. However, in order to purchase the Brilliant Ash Soul Bone, which ultimately sold for a staggering 20 million, he still relied on Shrek Academy's reputation to take out a loan from the Star Luo Empire.
Otherwise, it's still uncertain who would acquire that fire-attribute soul bone, which has a wider applicability than ice-attribute soul bones.
Their economic strength could not possibly compare to that of Kong Deming, the wealthiest man in the Sun Moon Empire, which was the most financially powerful. After all, Kong Deming controlled the allocation of national soul guidance research funds.
Xu Guoyi often joked: "The state collects taxes, but Confucius spends the money."
The situation of the other three great empires is not much better than that of Shrek Academy. They are large and powerful, but they also have many expenses. Their cash flow, which they can really allocate at will, may not be as good as Shrek Academy's.
And, a top-tier sect.
VIP Room No. 3
"Have you found out who offered 150 million?"
There were only two people in this VIP room, both of whom looked to be in their forties.
The speaker was small in stature, but had an unusually large head, making him look somewhat like a bobblehead. His sparse hair was still yellow, but his eyes shone brightly, like beacons, when they opened and closed.
The other person was tall, and most notably, his right arm was exceptionally thick, at least twice the size of his left arm. He exuded an aura of a prehistoric beast.
The black-level auctioneer in their room seemed to have just returned from somewhere. He strode forward and stood blankly in front of him: "They are from the Sun Moon Royal Soul Master Academy. The bidder is a young man, not very old, but he has a very high status among the group."
"I'm asking about its specific origins!"
As he spoke, the large-headed man narrowed his eyes, and then the air in the entire VIP room began to distort violently. It felt like seeing water ripples on a raging fire when one was in a daze.
Everything in the room seemed to become unreal.
The black-level auctioneer was trembling all over, and his eyes quickly became even more confused, but the words that came out of his mouth disappointed the two: "I asked my superiors, and they don't know either."
This big-headed man easily controlled a person's mind without even releasing his martial spirit!
Even if that black-level auctioneer was just an ordinary person, this was still an extraordinary skill.
"Second brother, you're really something. Since we can't find out his background, and the sect can't raise more money in a short time, why don't we just take control of the people at this auction house and rob the items and that kid together?"
The burly man spoke in a low voice, his eyes flashing with a fierce light, and a series of cracking sounds came from his thick right arm.
That wasn't the sound of bones, but rather the explosive roar produced by the extreme compression of the airflow around the arm.
Their identities are self-evident given their level of physical control. "Yu Tao, if you want to die, don't drag me down with you. This Starlight Auction House is backed by the Star Luo Royal Family. I can sense four Title Douluos guarding it. Even if we use our second awakening abilities, the two of us can only handle three at most. We simply don't have the strength to snatch back the 100,000-year-old soul beast embryo."
"Moreover," the man named Lang Ya, ranked second among the third generation of the Body Sect, couldn't help but point to his large head and said helplessly, "Can you use your brain? That kid can't possibly be one of us. The Silver Dragon Martial Soul is so domineering. If he really has twin Martial Souls, then his second Martial Soul must be at the same level as the Silver Dragon, or even surpass it. Even if he is human and has reached the upper limit of the Silver-level innate second awakening, he still wouldn't be stronger than the Silver Dragon."
Moreover, if he truly possessed two such powerful martial souls, he should have exploded and died long ago.
The man he called Yu Tao was full of indignation: "I don't have a brain, I only have hands. I couldn't have been wrong about the changes in his hands that day. Not only his meridians and flesh, but even his bones were involved in the changes in force exertion. Apart from our own martial soul, what other soul master can achieve such a level of body control?"
Langya had no choice but to scratch his sparse blond hair in exasperation and compromised, "Alright, then our primary task is to keep a close eye on his whereabouts. If a suitable opportunity arises, we can probe him a little."
"But I still want to emphasize that he cannot possess a physical martial soul."
Yu Tao retorted in a muffled voice, "What if?"
"I'll eat shit," Langya replied irritably.
