Douluo Dalu: Huo Yuhao Knows the Plot

A woman in a beautiful red dress walked onto the auction stage and began a brief introduction.

“Welcome, esteemed guests, to the Heavenly Soul Auction House's top-tier auction. I am Ai Ling, a Red-Level Auctioneer, and it is my honor…”

Ai Ling didn't waste words. Perhaps in the past, she would have needed to create some mysterious tricks to pique the customers' curiosity, but today there was no need. The people from the Heavenly Court had already helped with the publicity.

At that moment, auction house staff pushed a small cart onto the stage.

A set of dark brown armor hung on a frame on the cart. The armor had smooth lines, but it didn't appear bright. Instead, it had a simple and unadorned look.

A long saber was worn at the waist, and a medium-length cloak was on the back. However, whether it was the saber or the cloak, their colors were the same as the armor: as black as ink.

“First, let me introduce this saber, the Shadowstrike Warblade, a Rank Seven Soul Tool. It comes with a Soul Skill, Shadow Assault, which is fast and unexpected, very suitable for agility-based Soul Masters.”

Ai Ling first introduced the long saber. Then, she removed the cloak.

“The Shadowstrike Cloak is also a Rank Seven Soul Tool. Although it doesn't have a Soul Skill, the magic array engraved inside can greatly increase the wearer's speed.”

“Finally, this armor, the Shadowstrike War Armor, is a Rank Seven Soul Tool. It is made of obsidian and many mixed metals. Under normal circumstances, it can withstand a Strength-type Soul King's Fifth Soul Skill. After injecting Soul Power, it can even withstand a Soul Douluo's Eighth Soul Skill under their Martial Soul Avatar.”

“These three Rank Seven Soul Tools were created by a famous Rank Eight Soul Tool Grandmaster. That master was already a Rank Eight Soul Tool Grandmaster when he made these three Soul Tools. I cannot reveal the specific person, but I can tell you that these three Soul Tools complement each other, and their combined effect is not weaker than most Rank Eight Soul Tools.”

The crowd below was already eager to try, wishing they could immediately join the bidding. They couldn't help but admire the auction house's generosity. They offered three Rank Seven Soul Tools right away, and a complete set at that.

“The Shadowstrike Set, starting bid is eight hundred thousand Gold Soul Coins, with a minimum increase of ten thousand Gold Soul Coins each time. Esteemed guests, you may bid now.”

As Auctioneer Ai Ling's voice fell, the crowd, who had been waiting for a long time, raised their signs one after another to bid.

“Eight hundred and fifty thousand.”

“Eight hundred and eighty thousand.”

“Nine hundred and fifty thousand.”

…

Rank Seven Soul Tools were still very popular, especially a complete set. Bidders raised their signs repeatedly, and the price soared all the way until a middle-aged man in a black VIP area bid two million three hundred thousand, finally bringing it to a stop.

Ai Ling's face showed a bright smile. The first lot had such high enthusiasm, which was a good start. It was worth them taking out these three precious Soul Tools.

“VIP Number Eighteen bid two million three hundred thousand. Is there anyone higher?”

“Two million three hundred thousand once, two million three hundred thousand twice, two million three hundred thousand three times, sold! Congratulations to VIP Number Eighteen for winning the Shadowstrike Set.”

After asking the price three times and no one else spoke up, Ai Ling struck the table with her auction hammer, announcing the ownership of the first lot.

“The second lot should be familiar to everyone, which is two Spirit Aperture Pills. As everyone knows, Spirit Aperture Pills have the wonderful effect of widening the meridians and tempering the body.”

“Moreover, after taking them, Soul Masters below Level Seventy can definitely increase their Soul Power by one level. If any of the esteemed guests here are stuck at a bottleneck, then the Spirit Aperture Pill would be a very good choice.”

Ai Ling's words were extremely infectious. Among the bidders in the audience, there were many Soul Masters whose Soul Power was stuck at Level Fifty-nine or Level Sixty-nine. All of them had fiery eyes and excited expressions.

In the VIP room on the second floor, Huo Yuhao stood in front of the one-way glass, calmly waiting for the final highlight, his own performance.

The first six lots were not bad, but none of them caught Huo Yuhao's eye. After the Spirit Aperture Pill, there was also a semi-finished Rank Eight Soul Tool and a book by a Rank Eight Soul Tool Grandmaster, which, according to the introduction, recorded the Soul Tool Grandmaster's lifelong experience.

Clap!

“Congratulations to VIP Room Number Five for successfully bidding for the sixth lot.”

As Auctioneer Ai Ling dropped the hammer, Ning Zhiyuan in Box Number Five revealed a satisfied smile. The Soul Bone that he just acquired came from a sixty thousand year old Fire attribute Soul Beast, it could be said that it was very suitable for Flame Phoenix Douluo.

Ning Zhiyuan would naturally not be stingy with his wife, decisively making a move and successfully winning it for a cost of twenty-three million Gold Soul Coins.

After the sixth lot was successfully traded, Ai Ling walked off the stage. Then, a woman in a golden dress replaced Ai Ling's position.

When the people present saw the girl's attire, they all perked up, even the people in the VIP rooms on the second floor were no exception. Being able to have a Top-Level Auctioneer on stage, there was no doubt that the upcoming lots would not be simple.

“Hello everyone, I am Gold-Level Auctioneer Vina. Next, I will be at your service. Here, I represent the Heavenly Soul Auction House to thank the Heavenly Court for providing three precious lots.”

While speaking, Vina bowed slightly in the direction of VIP Room Number One.

VIP Room Number One was also the room where Huo Yuhao and his group were located.

However, at this time, someone asked in confusion, “Princess, didn't you say that the final lot was provided by the Body Sect? Who is this Heavenly Court, and why have I never heard of them?”

This person asked what was on everyone's mind. Many people were still a little confused.

“These are Golden Keys. These crystals are connected to an independent space. As long as Soul Masters hold this item, they can obtain a continuous stream of spiritual energy from that space. The spiritual energy inside is extremely pure. According to our auction house's test, using this Golden Key to cultivate is about three times more efficient than normal meditation.”

“However, the effect of this Golden Key only lasts for one year. After one year, it will no longer be possible to connect to that independent space through the crystal. Also, the Golden Key needs to be bound when used. To bind it, you only need to drip a drop of blood onto the crystal.”

“Here, I need to remind everyone that after the Golden Key is bound, no one other than the owner can use it. If it is forcibly used, the crystal will self-destruct.”

“The above is absolutely true. If any of the esteemed guests still have concerns, you can come on stage to personally verify.”

Speaking of this, Vina took out another silver crystal ball that looked exactly the same as the previous one.

“The Golden Key in my hand is different. It is a sample prepared by the Heavenly Court for everyone. It is only valid for one day, but there is no restriction on binding. Now, if any of the esteemed guests have any doubts, you can come on stage to experience it for yourself.”
