Douluo Dalu: Huo Yuhao Knows the Plot

In reality, Huo Yuhao intentionally revealed all of this. Knowing the plot well, he naturally knew that Illex wouldn't harbor any ill intentions towards him, but he still had to act the part.

If he didn't appear a bit nervous, Illex would probably become uneasy.

"Well, I'll believe you for now."

Before Illex could rejoice upon hearing Huo Yuhao's words, he heard Huo Yuhao continue, "Then let's talk about something else, like what you can bring me. After all, you're going to stay in my Sea of Spirit. Even ordinary people have to pay rent for lodging, right?"

"You're right. I really don't have anything to give you right now. How about this, let's discuss this matter after I recover my memories?"

Upon hearing this, Huo Yuhao's expression darkened. Was this old fellow planning to get something for nothing? Who knew how long it would take him to recover? Even if he could recover, what reward would he give after recovering? Such vague words basically couldn't be taken seriously.

Illex sensed Huo Yuhao's displeasure and quickly said, "If you don't think that's acceptable, I promise to grant you three requests as long as it doesn't endanger my life. What do you think of that?"

Thinking about it, this guy had lost all his memories, and his current fragmented soul couldn't do anything anyway. With this in mind, Huo Yuhao reluctantly agreed, "What you said makes sense. Okay, let's go with your plan. Then I'll make my first request now."

This reversal stunned everyone present, both human and beast. Why was he making a request so quickly?

"Kid, weren't we going to talk about it after I recovered my memories? What can I do in my current state?"

"Don't worry, the request I'm making is definitely something you can do. It just depends on whether you're willing or not?" Huo Yuhao looked at Illex with a smile, like an old fox sizing up a hen.

"Oh? What is it? Tell me about it." Illex became a little interested, but he didn't agree directly as a precaution.

"My first request is that I hope you agree to ten more requests for me?" Huo Yuhao said seriously, with a smile in his eyes.

Illex: "…"

Tianmeng Iceworm and Ice Emperor: "…"

Xue Di was also stunned for a moment, then smiled slightly.

Everyone was speechless. If they played like this, there would be no end to it. It was like, 'I have one wish, and that wish is for ten more wishes,' and then when those ten wishes were about to run out, they would do it again, endlessly cycling.

"Pfft!" Seeing everyone's dumbfounded expressions, Huo Yuhao laughed and waved his hand. "Alright, I was just kidding with you. I'm going out to take a look at that Living Gold." After saying that, Huo Yuhao's figure disappeared from the Sea of Spirit.

Soon, this item had been pushed to the center of the stage, next to auctioneer Qingya.

On the stage, auctioneer Qingya had already begun the introduction.

"Everyone must be very curious about what this mysterious item is. It's getting late, and Qingya has always been straightforward. This mysterious item, for soul engineers, can be considered the most ordinary but also the most indispensable close friend. Every soul engineer must have it. However, today our item is completely different. It's not a soul tool, so I said it shouldn't be here in the first place. But its relationship with soul engineers is too close. Before I lift the cloth, let me say one last thing: with its value and rarity, it could be on the top auction of our Starlight Auction House. Everyone, please look."

The moment the cloth was lifted, everyone's gaze was drawn to it. The dazzling brilliance or peerless radiance that everyone had been expecting did not appear. What appeared was just an item that looked ordinary beyond ordinary. Just as Qingya had said, this was something that any soul engineer was very familiar with and indispensable.

The reason why the cloth was so high earlier was not because the item itself was large, but because it was supported by a display stand. The volume under the cloth was naturally that of the display stand. The item itself was very small, about half a foot long and only the thickness of a finger. From bottom to top, there was a change from wide to narrow, and the top end was a very sharp point, while the bottom was a half-inch wide blade. The whole thing was simple and black, with faint patterns engraved on it, exuding a faint, ancient aura, but also somewhat somber.

Many bidders sighed in disappointment, obviously not feeling that this mysterious item had brought them any surprises. But a few people's pupils were rapidly contracting. The appearance of this item shocked them.

He Cai Tou, on the Shrek Academy side, had eyes wide open. He was the only soul engineer in Shrek Academy this time, and he knew better than anyone else in Shrek how important a carving knife was to a soul engineer.

Carving knife. Yes, this was a carving knife used by soul engineers to engrave core arrays. Both ends of the carving knife had their uses, and their uses were different when engraving different arrays. Any soul engineer could not do without a carving knife, which was a necessity for making soul tools.

After examining this simple carving knife, many people showed disappointment, not finding anything remarkable about it.

Qingya's voice rang out amidst the dissatisfaction: "Presumably some guests have been deceived by its appearance. Then, I can only regretfully tell you that you are wrong. Missing this mysterious item will be the biggest mistake of your life. Now, let me introduce this carving knife to you, which looks ordinary but is by no means ordinary."

"A carving knife is a must-have for all soul engineers. And a good carving knife is the most important thing to achieve a high-level soul engineer. What you see is not something that can be simply described as good. It is no exaggeration to say that it is a peerless carving knife. In the world of soul engineers, carving knives are also ranked. The top carving knives are almost all in the hands of top soul engineers. Everyone should have heard of the term 'List-Ranked Carving Knife', which means being able to be on the carving knife ranking."

"On our Douluo Continent's carving knife ranking, only the top 100 carving knives are recorded. Unfortunately, more than two-thirds of them are in the Sun Moon Empire. This is one of the important reasons why there are so many and so powerful soul engineers in the Sun Moon Empire. And what you see is one of the top 100, which is what I just said, a List-Ranked Carving Knife."

As soon as the words 'List-Ranked Carving Knife' were spoken, there was an uproar under the stage, and all the previous sighs disappeared. He Cai Tou on the Shrek side closed his eyes helplessly.

If it weren't for Qingya's explanation, he would have planned to find a bargain. After careful observation, he had already discovered that this carving knife was extraordinary. As a soul engineer, the pursuit of List-Ranked Carving Knives is never less. In the entire Shrek Academy, there are only two List-Ranked Carving Knives, which are in the hands of Dean Xian Lin'er of the Soul Guidance Department and Fan Yu respectively.
