Douluo: I can upgrade my luck by traveling through One Piece.

Chapter 83: Not as powerful as what I did

In a conference room in the center of the Xingluo Empire's imperial city.

Xu Jiawei stared quietly at the Xingluo Square below where the battle was still going on.

From his perspective, his view not only includes the contestants who are fighting, but also includes the people in the Star King Hotel.

For example, Shrek Academy and the Sun Moon Royal Soul Instructor Academy.

The person following him was not the queen who attended the event with him this morning, but a woman wearing a golden shawl and gauze dress.

The woman's age and appearance are somewhat similar to Xu Jiawei.

"Brother, are you feeling better?"

"It's okay, I've been recuperating for more than half a year and I'm almost recovered.

Is the auction house ready for the next few days?"

Xu Jiawei asked.

But a look of worry still appeared on Xu Jiujiu's face.

Since receiving the prediction of the family's Star Crown Martial Spirit more than half a year ago, Xu Jiawei led several Titled Douluo of the Star Luo Empire to the Far North to obtain the treasure. Although they gained something, they were all seriously injured.

Especially because of the excessive consumption of soul power and serious injuries, Shattered Star Douluo's soul power level was severely damaged.

"We are ready. According to the scheduled time, it will be after the top eight enter the top four. At that time, Shrek Academy and Sun Moon Royal Soul Guidance Academy will both participate.

The 100,000-year soul beast embryo will definitely attract the Sun-Moon Empire, and Shrek will definitely not let it go, but their hasty preparations and financial resources are definitely not as good as those of the Sun-Moon Empire."

He talked for a long time, telling everyone all the things that had been arranged.

"Ahem, Jiujiu, thank you for your hard work. Whether our Xingluo Empire can survive this chaos depends on whether the plan can succeed."

Xu Jiawei coughed twice, then spoke in a deep voice.

His injuries were not serious. It was mainly because he was already injured and then he forced the secret technique to backfire.

Although the goal was achieved, the overall strength of him and the Star Luo Empire declined significantly.

This made Xu Jiawei not know whether this was a good thing or a bad thing.

But the die is cast. Even if Xu Jiawei wants to change his mind now, he can't. He can only go down this path.

He watched Xu Jiawei walk out of the dark room for a long time before he sighed.

Several times, she wanted to say something, but couldn't.

It can only dissipate as a sigh.

In the next two days, Xingluo Imperial City was still bustling.

Many academies have been eliminated over the past few hundred years, but the atmosphere in the imperial city has not cooled down due to the departure of these people. Instead, it has continued to rise due to the intensity of the competition.

Three consecutive days of 7V7 team battles ignited the audience's enthusiasm, and at the same time, they are also looking forward to the second round of competition tomorrow.

Huo Yuhao also lived a very peaceful life during these two days.

Because in the next two days, we encountered opponents who were not very strong.

Ma Xiaotao and the others simply handed over all power to the reserve team.

During this period, their players were rotated, and only Huo Yuhao stayed behind to provide the auxiliary effect of shared mental detection.

During every battle, they would bring out a small stool and sit at the back to provide mental detection sharing, looking like a leisurely group of three people whose everything had nothing to do with them.

In addition to his identity as the captain of the reserve team, the audience now calls him the Captain Mo Yu.

The main purpose is to slack off and kill time.

Today, Huo Yuhao and others who had just finished a game were brought to the auction house by Wang Yan.

Because it had been a long time, Huo Yuhao could not remember the general events of this time. He just remembered that Huo Gua in the original novel seemed to have obtained the Gold of Life here.

It seems that Xue Di was also auctioned during this period.

But the Snow Queen has already been conquered by him in advance, so what will be auctioned at the Xing Luo Empire’s auction now?

Will there still be hundred thousand year soul beast embryos?
Huo Yuhao was full of anticipation for this.

........................

“Today’s auction is a special auction for soul guides. Since only soul guides below level six will be auctioned, the specifications are relatively low.

According to the classification, it can only be considered a fourth-level auction.

Our Starlight Auction House grades auctions from one to five, with level one being the highest standard and only held in the main auction hall.”

A pretty hostess, whose cheongsam was almost open to the upper thigh, spoke gently and explained the rules of the auction house.

Afterwards, the group entered auction room No. 12.

It is worth mentioning that, for some reason, Xiao Xiao and the others always stood on the left side of Huo Yuhao, vaguely blocking the etiquette lady.

As soon as they entered Auction Hall No. 12, the surrounding light suddenly dimmed, and the group received a pair of white masks from other etiquette ladies.

After putting it on, he walked to the booth.

"Welcome all distinguished guests to the Starlight Auction House. Our auction is about to begin. Please take your seats."

A beautiful female voice came from all around the auction house, and then a woman in a purple dress walked onto the stage from one side of the auction room.

The woman looked to be in her thirties, with a dignified appearance. The long skirt on her body outlined soft lines, showing her beauty.

Especially when paired with the gentle expression on her face, she looks like a peach, making people want to take a bite.

Xu Sanshi, who was sitting next to him, had his eyes wide open, his Adam's apple rolled, and the sound of him swallowing saliva was particularly conspicuous in the silent auction hall.

“This is the auctioneer. Generally speaking, whether it’s an auction house or a large auction venue like this, appearance is always the first factor when selecting an auctioneer.

Not only do you have to look good, you also have to be decent.

Male auctioneers must have decent looks and cannot have negative features, and female auctioneers must be dignified and beautiful, at least to cater to the aesthetic tastes of most people."

Offstage, Beibei explained some common sense about the auction house.

Huo Yuhao and the others nodded in unison. He didn’t know if it was an illusion, but Huo Yuhao always felt that Jiang Nannan’s gaze was obviously colder when she looked at Xu Sanshi.

And Xu Sanshi seemed to have spider sense. He took back the pig statue without even looking back.

It was as if everything that happened just now was just an illusion.

The auctioneer on the stage started today's auction after introducing himself.

"Our auction is now starting. Please ask the staff to present the first item of today's auction."

As soon as he finished speaking, two girls in red skirts pushed a school bus onto the auction stage. The bus was covered with a purple cloth, making it impossible to see the items inside.

The two men pushed the cart to the middle position before stopping and at the same time lifted the covering.

Let today’s first lot reveal its true face.

A rectangular, one-foot-long black soul guide device appeared in front of everyone.

"It's a level three attack soul guide. It should be made by a mid-level soul guide. The magic array on it doesn't look like a pure attack type. It should be a paralysis ray or poison." "It's not as powerful as what I made."

Huo Yuhao whispered.

And after a long list of explanations, it ends with a sentence: "It's not as good as what I did."

When Wang Yan first asked him to come to the auction house to buy a soul guide, Huo Yuhao had a suggestion.

It is said that buying soul guides outside is not only expensive, but the quality may also be questionable.

The most important thing is that the money will be earned by others, so it is better to buy the ones produced by him or the academy.

During this period, the Soul Guidance Department of Shrek Academy has made great progress, which is definitely incomparable to that of the Sun-Moon Empire.

But it is more than enough compared to other countries.

Especially the soul guide device made by Huo Yuhao himself, he dared to guarantee that at this time, no low-level soul guide could make better than him!
But Wang Yan rejected his proposal on the grounds that all members needed to be equipped and it would not delay his practice.

At that time, Huo Yuhao wanted to say that what he wanted to sell were “obsolete products”, but it was difficult to say it directly, so it turned out to be what happened now.

Wang Yan looked at Huo Yuhao helplessly, but still disagreed.

Because according to his idea, all members of the reserve team and the regular team members should be equipped with suitable soul guides.

With so many people, it would be impossible for Huo Yuhao to handle it alone.

This was also the reason why he refused.

After the transition of several soul guides, the ranking meeting finally came to an end.

“Dear guests, our mysterious gift is about to be presented, and this is also the last lot to be auctioned tonight.

Originally, his value would not appear in this auction house, but in order to thank all the distinguished guests for their continued support for Starlight, with the permission of our chief auctioneer, this item was specially added to the auction."

As he spoke, the auctioneer named Qingya's face flushed, as if he was drunk, and his voice became higher.

A cart was pushed out by the servants. Different from the previous ones, this cart was much larger.

The cover of the cart was also changed to a bright red color.

According to what the maid said, the grade of the items auctioned at the Starlight Auction House is related to the cloth.

The most precious color is gold, followed by red. The value of this item can be seen from the covering cloth.

As soon as this item was put forward, Huo Yuhao’s golden ball of luck sensed it.

Obviously, this item is related to him and carries his missing luck.

Needless to say, this is one of Huo Gua's plug-ins in the original book, and the most likely one is the golden carving knife of living things.

Because this item does not look like an Ice Explosion Soul Bone, and it is even less likely to be a hundred thousand year soul beast embryo.

"Everyone must know what this mysterious gift is. As for its value and rarity, as well as its importance to soul masters, I don't need to tell you. You should all know it. Then, next, the auction begins!"

Qingya's words and the mask appeared at the same time, attracting everyone's attention.

But to the disappointment of all the audience, after the veil was lifted, the luxury goods inside were not some dazzling and rare treasures.

It was an ordinary-looking carving knife.

The carving knife is about half a foot long and only as thick as a finger.

From bottom to top, it changes from wide to narrow. The top is a tip that looks very sharp, while the bottom is a sharp blade about half an inch wide.

The whole thing is simple and black, with faint patterns engraved on it, giving off a faint smell of decay, which is extremely depressing.

How could someone with strong mental strength see through the superficial decay and see the brilliance hidden within?

Just like tea, it looks "bitter" on the outside, but tastes sweet when you drink it.

Obviously, most of the audience could not see the mystery, but some of them still knew the origin of this carving knife.

Seeing that the scene was somewhat quiet, Qingya's face showed anxiety, and she quickly spoke up, trying to save the situation.

"A carving knife is a must-have for all soul masters, and a good carving knife is even more necessary for becoming a soul master.

I believe everyone knows the ranking of carving knives, right?

It contains the top 100 carving knives from Douluo Continent and Sun-Moon Continent, most of which are in the Sun-Moon Empire.

The carving knife in front of you is the Zaibang carving knife."

When the top engraver said this, the expressions of the people present changed. Everyone's eyes were burning with anger. Wang Yan even looked directly at Huo Yuhao.

At the same time, he was also prepared to contact Qian Duoduo, Yan Shaozhe and others.

Because this time he was only preparing soul guides for the reserve team, he did not prepare too many gold soul coins. Now that such a good thing has come out, he will definitely do his best to get it for Huo Yuhao.

At the same time, when he saw the carving knife, Alex, who had been silent in Huo Yuhao's mind for a long time, also spoke.

"Yuhao, this is the gold of life. You must take it down at any cost. It will be of great help to you!"

There was an unconcealable excitement in Alex's voice.

The audience present also began to get excited, and some impatient ones began to urge Qingya to start bidding quickly.

Seeing that the atmosphere among the audience was getting heated, Qingya on the stage was no longer in a hurry.

He glanced at the carving knife on the cart with a slightly regretful look.

"Don't worry, everyone. I believe you all know the integrity of our Starlight Auction House. So, in order to maintain our reputation, I need to tell you all the information about this item, and then you can decide whether to bid or not."

As she spoke, the regret in Qingya's eyes became more intense.

In her eyes, if this carving knife did not have this flaw, its value would be inestimable.

Of course, if it weren't for this so-called "shortcoming", it wouldn't be her turn to host the auction.

“If this carving knife was a normal carving knife, its value would definitely not appear in this auction. The problem is that it is not normal.

In the ranking of engraving knives, it is ranked 99th, but its ability does not mean it can only be ranked 99th. In fact, if we really talk about its ability, it is not an exaggeration to rank it in the top 30.

The problem is, it is a cursed carving knife, called the Soul Devouring Carving Knife."

Before Qingya finished speaking, an insightful soul master exclaimed, "Is this the soul-devouring carving knife that will backfire on its owner?"

Qingya looked at this person with some surprise and nodded.

“Yes, according to the history traced by our Starlight Auction House, this carving knife has had a total of thirty-seven owners, spanning more than three thousand years.

Without exception, all owners died tragically after obtaining the Soul-Devouring Knife.

Nine of them even became evil soul masters.

According to legend, this evil sword is inhabited by the soul of a genius evil spirit master, who will lead people to evil and eventually the owner will die a miserable death."

Qingya said this, and then changed the subject.

"But we at Starlight Auction House can guarantee that as long as you don't inject soul power into it, there will be no backlash. Besides, such a precious thing is also very good to keep!"
