Chapter 171 Taking advantage of Xing Luo

"you know me?"

The sweet voice echoed from the corridor. Although the expression on his face did not change at all, his eyes that had been there for a long time suddenly became deeper.

Although she is the younger sister of the current Star Luo Emperor, there are so many princesses in the royal family, and she usually keeps a low profile. Not to mention an outsider, even many Star Luo nobles may not be able to recognize her identity.

"I have met Her Highness the Princess."

Huo Yuhao withdrew his gaze and his tone was calm at all.

"When I was registering yesterday, I happened to see the registration information of Team Xingluo. I noticed His Highness's last name. Out of curiosity, I naturally paid attention to the opening ceremony in the morning."

Huo Yuhao did not lie about this matter. He had indeed paid attention to the members of Team Xingluo in the morning. Not only Xingluo, the rest areas of all participating teams were under the shroud of his mental detection.

Different from what she wore in the morning, Xu Jiujiu was wearing a light golden skirt at this moment. With her appearance that was not inferior to Jiang Nannan's, it gave people a sense of elegance and nobility just by looking at it.

The Xingluo royal family has never expressed its stance on the Duke's Mansion incident. How could Huo Yuhao not guess what Xu Jiawei had in mind? Now that he saw Xu Jiujiu's clearly well-prepared look, he understood that the Xingluo emperor had already A decision was made.

It's just that he didn't expect the old fox to react so quickly. He just saw Qiu'er's strength and came to him. He thought he would have to wait until he also showed his skills.

Hearing Huo Yuhao's salty explanation, Xu Jiujiu's eyelids couldn't help but twitch.

Isn't this excuse too perfunctory?

This Soul Master Competition was originally held by Xingluo, and their team did not need to go to the registration point to register, so how could the information appear at the registration point?

Of course, even though he was complaining in his heart, Xu Jiujiu's face showed a hint of surprise in a very cooperative manner.

"Really? To be honest, I just heard that the captain of Shrek Academy this time is a very young and handsome boy, so I came here specifically to have a look and make friends. Now that I heard your words, I am really flattered. "

As she spoke, she lifted both sides of her long skirt with both hands, bowed slightly, and gave Huo Yuhao a standard court greeting ceremony.

"Although Your Excellency already knows, please allow me to introduce myself. Xu Jiujiu is the biological sister of the current Emperor Xingluo."

"Your Highness just needs to call me by my name. It's an honor to be so valued by Your Highness the Princess... But I think coming to Your Highness is not just for a meeting, right?"

It was not like he had never interacted with her in his previous life. Huo Yuhao naturally had some understanding of Princess Xingluo's skills. Especially after he guessed that Xu Jiawei sent her here, he didn't believe a word of what he just said.

I haven't shown any talents yet, so you just say you admire me. Isn't it a bit too much?

It can only be said that if this kind of situation happened to Meng Hongchen, he wouldn't think it would be a big deal. After all, the cases in the previous life were all there. But these words came from Xu Jiujiu, who was like an individual. Apart from making him more vigilant, it did nothing. Little effect.

After hearing Huo Yuhao's unsophisticated words, the smile on his face remained unchanged for a long time, but there was some doubt in his heart.

This information is wrong!

Didn't it mean that this guy had an unclear relationship with several female members of Shrek's team, engaging in sex and debauchery every night?

Why did he still act like an unmoved gentleman even after he said so?

It can't be those women who are plotting against him, right?

No, it shouldn't be possible. No matter how you say it, it's too perverted.

After restraining his thoughts, for a long time, instead of being panicked, he showed a decent smile.

"He is worthy of being the captain of Team Shrek. His mind is so sharp."

"It's hard to say what the purpose is. It's just that some rumors about the Star Luo Empire and Shrek have been circulating in the mainland for no reason recently. Although our Star Luo royal family is not afraid of shadows, my brother is worried if these rumors are allowed to continue to ferment. , will have an impact on the good relationship that the two sides have maintained.”

"It just so happened that my brother recently got a batch of good Lingcha tea leaves and just delivered them to me personally. He said that they can increase the speed of cultivation. After the two of us tried it, we found that the effect was indeed good, so my brother called me Share the remaining tea leaves and make friends with the young talents in the competition..."

Speaking of this, Xu Jiujiu raised his eyes like a pregnant girl, with undisguised admiration in his eyes.

As soon as the two people's eyes met, Princess Xingluo trembled slightly as if she was electrocuted, her eyes lowered a little shyly, and even her voice was tinged with just the right amount of shame.

"When I heard my brother's suggestion, I first thought of you, Yuhao. I'm taking the liberty to bother you now, just because I hope Yuhaoqian can give me some face, appreciate my craftsmanship, and take this opportunity to build a relationship between us. Misunderstanding cleared up”

"I wonder if you are free, Yuhao?"

So I don’t like dealing with the royal family the most...

Huo Yuhao secretly complained in his heart, and raised his eyebrows: "Now?"

His eyes blinked for a long time.

"My brother is enjoying tea in the room downstairs."

People rushed to the door to apologize, so Huo Yuhao naturally had no need to refuse. After a brief thought, he raised his head and stared at them for a long time.

"I'm just a student. I can't represent the attitude of the college. Can you please invite my teacher to join me?"

Knowing that Huo Yuhao had the intention of reconciliation, his long-lasting smile became even brighter.

"Of course, please."

...dong dong dong.

As the knock on the door sounded, the middle-aged man sitting on the sofa paused, put down the steaming teacup in his hand, and spoke loudly to the door.

"Please come in."

When the door opened, the man's face showed a touch of surprise when he saw the two figures following Xu Jiujiu.

"Welcome to you two."

Zhang Lexuan, who was called out without knowing why, was stunned when she saw the Emperor Xingluo appear here. It was not until Huo Yuhao beside her bowed slightly that she reacted belatedly.

"Your Majesty."

"No need to be polite." Xu Jiawei waved his hand.

"I never care about those etiquettes in private. You two are geniuses among geniuses. If I were not older than you, I would want to be friends with you."

As he spoke, he personally placed teacups for the two of them and said happily.

"Okay, both of you sit down."

"Thank you, Your Majesty."

Looking at Xu Jiawei who was not at all arrogant, Huo Yuhao thanked him softly, and then took Zhang Lexuan's hand and sat opposite him.

"..."

No, is this a proper teacher-student relationship?

Looking at Huo Yuhao who had just hugged the blonde girl named Qiu'er in the morning and was now holding hands with his teacher, even though Xu Jiawei had been mentally prepared, he almost broke down.

Luckily, Xu Jiujiu took the teapot from him in time to pour tea for the three of them, so that the atmosphere did not become awkward.

"Ahem, the relationship between the two of you is a little beyond my expectation!"

After being treated like this, Xu Jiawei no longer had the idea of ​​continuing to say polite words, and laughed lightly and teased. After revealing this embarrassing thing, his expression was also a little serious.

"Before we get down to business, Huo Yuhao, I apologize for the ambush you encountered at Shrek Academy. Because of my negligence, the Giant Strength Douluo Cheng Gang acted on his own, resulting in such serious consequences."

"Although you may not believe it, I must clarify that the Xingluo royal family has never participated in this action against you. All this was Cheng Gang's self-willed decision after listening to the instigation of the White Tiger Duke's Mansion. On the contrary, our royal family is very happy to be friends with a genius like you."

As soon as these words came out, Zhang Lexuan on the side immediately understood what the invitation was for today. She took a sip of the teacup and smiled faintly.

"Shrek and Xingluo have always had a good relationship. We are naturally willing to believe your majesty, but the academy has never had such a bad incident for hundreds of years. If the academy just gives up, it will inevitably encounter similar things in the future. I hope your majesty will understand."

Xu Jiawei's eyes twitched and he nodded with a smile.

"Of course, I'm not saying this to completely shirk my responsibility. No matter what, Cheng Gang, as a national defender, represents the attitude of the Xingluo Empire in every word and action. As the emperor, I have an unshirkable responsibility for this matter, and the royal family is willing to compensate for its negligence."

At this point, he looked at Huo Yuhao

"Huo Yuhao, you can become the leader of Shrek, and I think your achievements as a soul master are amazing. As for soul rings, you are in the Star Dou Forest, and you should have made plans for your future. I won't make any boasts, but soul bones are not something you will get by hunting soul beasts. It is not easy to find a suitable one."

"As the saying goes, a good sword goes with a good general. How about this? The treasury of my Xingluo Empire is open to you, and you can choose the most suitable soul bone as compensation. What do you think?"

This time, Zhang Lexuan didn't say anything else, but like Xu Jiawei, she cast her eyes on Huo Yuhao, waiting for him to make a decision.

After a short silence, Huo Yuhao smiled and nodded slightly.

"Thank you, Your Majesty."

His goal this time was the left arm bone of the Ice Jade Scorpion with the Ice Explosion Soul Skill. Now that the opportunity was right in front of him, he naturally agreed.

Hearing this, Xu Jiawei also smiled. He took out a neatly bound booklet from his body as if he had been prepared, and pushed it in front of Huo Yuhao.

"These are the soul bones stored in the treasury of my Xingluo Empire. Each one has a detailed record, which should be helpful for your choice."

In addition to compensation, he invited Huo Yuhao to come this time with the intention of making friends, so he did not do anything to ruin his character by removing good things from the list in advance.

It's just a soul bone. It will be gathering dust in the treasury. As the most powerful country in the Douluo Three Kingdoms, Xingluo can still afford these things.

After speaking, he turned around and talked with Zhang Lexuan about the arrangements after Xingluo and Shrek reconciled while drinking tea.

No one interrupted him, so Huo Yuhao naturally focused on the book in front of him. The first time he opened it, he felt how decisive Xu Jiawei was once he made a decision.

Let’s not talk about whether the soul bone is good or not. After all, his vision is not of reference value at all. Even if he doesn’t like it, it is unique for a Titled Douluo.

But the detailed soul bone information recorded on it is different. As Xu Jiawei said, this information can really help people save a lot of time in choosing the one that suits them.

After flipping through a few pages, Huo Yuhao saw his target.

Ice Jade Scorpion Left Arm Bone.

Age: Estimated 50,000-70,000 years.

Soul Skill Solidification: Ice Explosion.

"Damn, despicable humans, how dare you hunt my people and wait, Ice Explosion Technique!?"

The Ice Emperor, who was still roaring in the mental space just now, could not sit still and shouted excitedly.

"Yu Hao! Choose this! You must choose this! This is the magical skill of our Ice Jade Scorpion clan. Only extremely rare Ice Jade Scorpions can possess this skill. With this thing, not to mention the soul skills we will obtain in the future. The soul bone skills I have given you, the Snow Emperor's famous stunt, and even your Snow Lotus's Death Bloom will all receive a huge boost!"

Death Bloom is the name given by Huo Yuhao to the move in which Snow Lotus shoots petals around. As for another soul skill that can bring about amplification by swallowing petals, it is named Frost Amplification.

As for the Ice Explosion Technique, how could Huo Yuhao, who had experience in his previous life, not understand its value? Not only could it make Huo Yuhao's tactics more flexible, but it could also bring secondary damage to those already extremely powerful soul techniques.

For example, the death bloom mentioned by the Ice Emperor just now. In that white state, the petals of the snow lotus are like sharp blades with extremely strong penetrating power. Under normal circumstances, the type of damage caused to the enemy is penetrating damage and relatively short-term damage. Less ice elemental damage.

But with the Ice Explosion Technique, it's completely different. Huo Yuhao can directly detonate the petals the moment they enter the enemy's body. You can imagine how terrifying the effect will be.

Although it is not as powerful as the combination of Emperor Palm or Emperor Sword and Ice Explosion, Death Bloom is a group damage skill!

After calming down the Ice Emperor, Huo Yuhao calmly flipped through the pages again. After confirming that there were no more suitable soul bones, he put the book down.

"It looks like you have the answer?"

"Um."

Hearing Xu Jiawei's voice, Huo Yuhao twitched his lips.

"I choose the left arm bone of the Ice Jade Scorpion."

Ice Jade Scorpion?

Isn't it true that only ice attribute soul masters can absorb that piece?

Although there are solidification soul skills and attribute requirements, anyone with a discerning eye knows that these restrictions reflect that the quality of soul bones is far superior to other ordinary soul bones. Even in terms of value alone, this ice jade scorpion left arm bone is among the best in the treasury. One of the best soul bones.

This guy didn't choose which one was more expensive, right?

With this thought in his mind, Xu Jiawei couldn't help but have a strange look on his face, and he couldn't help but look Huo Yuhao up and down.

Why do you think this kid is not such a short-sighted person?

After hesitating for a moment, he took the initiative to remind him.

"Yu Hao, according to each person's needs, even the same soul bone has high or low value to each person. There is no best, only the most suitable."

"I understand, Your Majesty."

Huo Yuhao didn't explain anything, but directly chose to release his Ice Emperor Spirit. Although he didn't know why Xu Jiawei made the choice when he saw Qiu'er, there was no need for him to pretend to be secretive and show himself appropriately. Potential can also have more say.

Just like that, under the shocked gazes of the two people, dreamy-looking white-blue dragon scales covered Huo Yuhao's arms inch by inch, and his azure eyes turned into silver-white vertical pupils.

"Ultimate Ice!?"

Feeling the biting chill, Xu Jiawei and Xu Jiujiu's expressions suddenly changed. Especially when they saw the two black soul rings rising under Huo Yuhao's feet, they felt even more ridiculous.

How can this be! ?

The two of them roared in their hearts. If they could barely accept Qiu'er's first soul ring of ten thousand years, then the first soul ring of ten thousand years was completely beyond the scope of their understanding.

The former may only be a few hundred years beyond the normal soul master's first soul ring life span, but the latter means that it is at least nine thousand years beyond the normal life span, which is not an existence of the same magnitude at all.

You must know that even if Huo Yuhao picked up the ten thousand-year whale glue at the treasure appreciation party in his previous life and still lay in his storage space in this life, it would only increase the life of the soul ring by about a thousand years.

Not to mention that the improvement effect of this thing will become worse and worse if you continue to eat it, and how many treasures are there in this world that are comparable to ten thousand-year-old whale glue?

Looking at the dull eyes of the two people, Zhang Lexuan's lips curled up slightly, she picked up the tea cup and took a sip of the spirit tea, feeling secretly happy in her heart.

The ten-thousand-year-old soul ring has frightened you two so much. What if you could see its true color?

Huo Yuhao on the side was a little helpless and took the initiative to explain.

"Your Majesty, don't be too surprised, because this is my second martial spirit, and now I have a ten-thousand-year spirit ring attached to my first spirit ring."

Oh, that's what I'm saying

The two subconsciously breathed a sigh of relief, but they immediately reacted.

Wait, twin martial souls! ?

Although not as good as the Ultimate Martial Spirit, twin Martial Spirits may not be born even in a hundred years.

What's more, this boy is the ultimate twin. I'm afraid this is the only one in history, right?

After thinking about it, Xu Jiawei seemed to suddenly realize something and asked hesitantly.

"Can you let me see your number one martial spirit?"

"certainly."

The two black soul rings under Huo Yuhao disappeared, and as his pupils bloomed with golden light, they were replaced by three purple soul rings that made Xu Jiawei's eyelids jump.

At first, when he heard Huo Yuhao's comforting words, he thought that the color of this guy's first martial soul's soul ring was no different from that of a normal person. It was just because he had reached the soul king that he had added ten thousand years to his second martial soul.

It turns out that you are the soul master! ?

Twin martial souls, ultimate ice, the first thousand-year soul ring, and then thinking of the golden dragon girl with ultimate power in the morning, Xu Jiawei suddenly felt that his compensation seemed to be a little insufficient.

"You are extremely talented. It makes me really happy to meet a genius like you. Logically speaking, as an elder, I should give you a meeting gift. It's a pity that I came to Jiujiu to have tea this time in a hurry. How about this, you are here Choose another soul bone from the list, and I’ll ask Jiujiu to bring it to you when the time comes.”

The corner of Huo Yuhao's mouth twitched, and when he was about to say something, Xu Jiawei waved his hand as if he was predicting the future.

"This time I paid for it out of my own pocket and has nothing to do with Xing Luo. I hope you won't refuse, Yuhao."

"."

Seeing that Xu Jiawei was playing the personal emotional card, Huo Yuhao had no choice but to look at Zhang Lexuan on the side, wanting to ask her if she had any soul bones in mind, but Zhang Lexuan was sipping her tea without even looking at him.

Helpless, Huo Yuhao closed the book and spoke softly.

"As His Majesty said, only the most suitable soul bones are enough. Even if I take the others, it will be useless."

Before Xu Jiawei could show his disappointed expression, he changed the topic and continued to add.

"But besides soul bones, I am really interested in one thing."

"oh?"

Xu Jiawei's eyes suddenly lit up. He was not afraid that Huo Yuhao would open his mouth, but he was afraid that Huo Yuhao would not accept anything.

"Yuhao, tell me."

"It's like this, because I am usually more interested in soul tools and pursue the list of carved knives. By coincidence, I heard yesterday that there is a famous soul-eating knife in the auction house in Xingluo City that often fails to sell. , in any case, it is a list carving knife, and since no one needs it, I am going to take a photo of it and keep it.”

"burin?"

Xu Jiawei was stunned for a moment and turned his head to look at Xu Jiujiu: "Is this the case?"

"Yes, the auction price of that knife has dropped many times and no one dared to bid on it."

After a long while, he nodded slightly and turned to look at Huo Yuhao.

"Since Yuhao knows the name of the soul-eating sword, you should have heard of its origin. To be honest, this thing is not suitable for use."

"I know."

Huo Yuhao smiled and nodded.

"So I only use it for collection. I can pay for it. Now I just want to save the effort of going to the auction house."

Hearing this, he nodded for a long time and said nothing more. Xu Jiawei on the side waved his hands repeatedly.

"I said it's a meeting gift. Why do you need to pay for a carving knife, Yuhao? I'll ask Jiujiu to give it to you tomorrow."
