Douluo Dalu II—Chapter 66: Soul-Devouring Blade
Then Qingya began to introduce today's auction items one by one. Huo Yuhao took a few glances but was not very interested. Although the people of the Star Luo Empire might regard these soul guidance devices as treasures, for Huo Yuhao, who is now in the Sun Moon Empire, these soul guidance devices are very ordinary.
So naturally, he didn't like them and didn't bid.
The level of soul engineers from Shrek Academy is not as high as that of those in the Sun Moon Empire, so the people of Shrek Academy were generous enough to buy some soul guidance devices, including the Milk Bottle.
During the auction, the auctioneer, Qingya, also made a joke about the Milk Bottle, which was indeed a bit of bad taste.
Qingya looked at everyone and said, "Of course, for today's auction, our auction house has prepared a mysterious gift. This mysterious gift is of great significance to soul engineers, and it is also extremely rare. Everyone, please take a look."
As she spoke, she opened the curtain, and soon a carving knife appeared in everyone's sight. For a soul engineer, a carving knife is an essential tool because soul engineers need to use a carving knife to engrave the core magic array.
"I can tell you with certainty that even in the carving knife world, this carving knife is extremely rare because it is a ranked carving knife! In the entire Douluo Continent, there are only one hundred ranked carving knives, so the rarity of this carving knife is naturally self-evident!"
Everyone's breathing suddenly quickened. They all stared at the carving knife, while Qingya continued to introduce it.
Jing Hongchen's pupils shrank slightly, as he recognized this carving knife: "It turns out to be this Soul-Devouring Carving Knife, known as the ominous knife! I didn't expect Star Light Auction House to sell such a vicious thing! It seems that not many people will choose to buy it today."
Xiao Hongchen also had a serious expression at this moment. "Yes, Grandpa, this carving knife is too weird. Every one of its owners has died tragically. It seems that Star Light Auction House is just being entrusted by others. It's a pity that this kind of carving knife is worthless."
After all, for a soul engineer, safety is a very important matter, not to mention that it is just a carving knife ranked ninety-ninth. In my opinion, even a carving knife ranked one hundredth is far better than this Soul-Devouring Carving Knife!
The Soul-Devouring Carving Knife is a good tool. In terms of actual effect, it is indeed good, but the problem is that good tools must be used with life!
"One hundred thousand gold soul coins!" Huo Yuhao raised the sign directly.
Qingya was overjoyed. "This guest offered 100,000 gold soul coins; is there anyone else willing to bid?"
Jing Hongchen, on the side, looked at Huo Yuhao in astonishment. "What are you doing? Wake up!" This is the Soul-Devouring Knife!
It's not that he was worried about the money, but the Soul-Devouring Knife was too dangerous! If something happens to Huo Yuhao when he comes into contact with this thing, it would be a huge loss for the empire.
Meng Hongchen also looked at Huo Yuhao at this moment. She said, "Brother Yuhao, if you want to buy a carving knife, Grandpa will help you. This carving knife is special. I still advise you not to buy it. After all, a carving knife that can kill thirty-seven previous owners in a row is undoubtedly ominous."
Xiao Hongchen also spoke up at this moment: "Brother Yuhao, listen to me. Don't buy this knife. If you want a carving knife, use my grandfather's knife first!"
"Brat!" Jing Hongchen slapped Xiao Hongchen in the face.
Xiao Hongchen covered his head, wondering. Didn't Grandpa always want to bring Meng and Huo Yuhao together? Then wouldn't it be nice to give your beloved carving knife to Meng as a dowry?
At this moment, Jing Hongchen looked at Huo Yuhao and said, "Yuhao, I will find a top-ranked carving knife for you. The Soul-Devouring Carving Knife is not suitable for you."
Huo Yuhao shook his head and pointed to his forehead. "Dean, I can see a little bit of the future. This carving knife will undoubtedly be beneficial to my future."
"This..." Jing Hongchen hesitated for a moment, then sighed. "Okay."
At this time, Qingya continued to shout, "One hundred thousand gold soul coins for the first time!"
"One hundred thousand gold soul coins for the second time!"
"One hundred thousand gold soul coins for the third time!"
"Make a deal!"
To be honest, Qingya was a little disappointed. As an auctioneer, she received a commission for everything she sold. If this Soul-Devouring Carving Knife could be auctioned at a higher price, she would have received more money. However, only one customer was willing to pay for this Soul-Devouring Carving Knife.
In the sea of spirits, Electrolux said: "Yuhao, the carving knife you bought is made of Life Gold. It seems that your premonition of being a reincarnated god has played a role at this time.
With this carving knife, I won't have to worry about this strand of my spiritual consciousness being extinguished anymore. When you get this knife, I will personally solve some of its problems!"
"Thank you, teacher!"
After coming out of the Starlight Auction House, Huo Yuhao was about to take the Soul-Devouring Knife back to his room. After all, the problems with this kind of thing in the original novel were also solved by Electrolux. Of course, before that, he had to convince Jing Hongchen to hand over the Soul-Devouring Knife to him.
Jing Hongchen looked at Huo Yuhao, a little hesitant. "Yuhao, do you want to take the Soul-Devouring Knife back to study it? Or should we take it back to the Sun Moon Empire and find Master Kong to study it together?"
"Dean, you have to believe me! If it doesn't work, just keep an eye on me! A teacher and I have learned a way to solve the problem of the Soul-Devouring Knife. It is made of a rare metal called Life Gold. The reason why it is an ominous knife is that there are some problems. As long as this problem is solved, it will be a useful ranked knife!"
Huo Yuhao felt helpless. He knew that the other party was concerned about his safety, but the problem was that this carving knife was quite important to him.
Hearing this, Jing Hongchen nodded and said, "Okay, then I'll just watch you from the side."
As for Jing Hongchen, he had some doubts in his heart. After all, the problem of the Soul-Devouring Knife had not been solved for three thousand years. Could Huo Yuhao solve this problem? But when he thought about the fact that Huo Yuhao created something called the spirit soul, he felt that Huo Yuhao might be able to solve the problem of the Soul-Devouring Knife!
After all, the significance of the spirit soul to a soul master is too great.
As he was talking, Jing Hongchen brought the Hongchen siblings and Huo Yuhao back to the room. Then Jing Hongchen took out the Soul-Devouring Knife from his storage soul guidance device. A fierce aura emanated from the blade as if it were going to devour all the lives present!
Jing Hongchen's expression gradually became solemn. You know, in history, the first owner of this murderous knife was a ninth-level soul engineer, and this ninth-level soul engineer was also an evil soul master. However, such a person still died because of this carving knife!
