Chapter 175 A rich harvest (two in one)

“Thank you, Princess, for making this trip. Please help convey my gratitude to His Majesty.”

As he spoke, Huo Yuhao reached out to take the ring. When he saw the Ice Jade Scorpion’s left arm bone and the familiar Life Engraving Knife lying quietly in the storage space, a hint of joy flashed across his eyes.

Only he knew how much his strength would be greatly improved with these two things.

Even compared to the Ice Jade Scorpion Soul Bone, the improvement brought by the Life Engraving Knife would be even more terrifying.

Although it seems to only work on metals, Qiu’er had mentioned to him when she used the Life Engraving Knife in Mingdu in her previous life that the Golden Dragon Spear and the Life Engraving Knife were two artifacts that complemented each other in terms of effect.

The former can replenish the host by absorbing the vitality of any living thing, while the latter can extract the vitality of various metals.

But they all have a common flaw, which is that they cannot replenish themselves.

For example, the gold of living beings, although it contains vast vitality, it is not endless. If it cannot be replenished, no matter how much vitality it has, it will eventually run out.

And it is so difficult to replenish the gold of living beings. In his previous life, Huo Yuhao judged so many rare metals, but he was completely disdainful of the vitality contained in those metals. Only the life energy emitted by the golden tortoise that had also absorbed the gold of living beings barely caught his eye.

In this case, the reason why the golden dragon spear and the gold of living beings complement each other is that although they cannot replenish themselves, they can achieve each other.

The life energy that the golden dragon spear devours from the living beings reaches the quality standard of the gold of living beings, and can replenish its life energy.

On the contrary, the vitality extracted from those metals by the gold of living beings can also be used to nourish the golden dragon spear, subtly improving its quality.

It is really a match made in heaven.

If it was in the previous life, to achieve this effect, you need to hold the Golden Dragon Spear and the Life Engraving Knife at the same time, but in this life, Huo Yuhao has the original sin of jealousy!

You know, Huo Yuhao has always used the original sin of jealousy to copy the characteristics of the Golden Dragon Spear or the Silver Dragon Spear to the carving knife, so that the ordinary carving knife can also obtain the effect comparable to the artifact.

What if the characteristics of the artifact are copied to other artifacts through the original sin of jealousy?

As early as when he got the Life Gold from Gu Yuena, Huo Yuhao had already conducted some experiments and successfully copied the characteristics of the Golden Dragon Spear to the Life Gold through the original sin of jealousy.

It’s just that because the piece of Life Gold was bitten off by the golden hawksbill turtle, the shape is not suitable for combat, so Huo Yuhao has never used it.

As for why he didn’t do the opposite and copy the characteristics of the Life Gold to the two dragon spears. It’s purely because Huo Yuhao has neither the silver dragon bloodline nor the gold dragon bloodline, and he can’t hold the silver dragon spear and the golden dragon spear at all. Even if he wants to copy, he can’t copy it.

Before, he was able to use the Golden Dragon Spear when fighting Juli Douluo because he had performed a martial soul fusion technique with Qiu'er. Otherwise, he couldn't even hold it.

But now that he has the Living Soul Carving Knife, it's different. As long as he fuses the piece of Living Soul Gold on his body with it, it can be directly synthesized into a Living Soul Sword similar to the short blade in the previous life.

Compared with ordinary carving knives, the Living Soul Sword is more conducive to fighting. Under the replication of the original sin of jealousy, it can also have the characteristics of Living Soul Gold and Golden Dragon Spear at the same time.

It can not only devour the life energy of living things when causing damage to them and feed back to the host and the body, but also extract the vitality of non-living things to improve its own quality, making itself a divine weapon that can grow rapidly.

Isn't this a proper artifact of the evil soul master!

Although it is still a little behind Huo Yuhao's Eye of Destiny, it is absolutely terrifying for daily combat improvement, and the characteristic of absorbing vitality and growing rapidly alone is destined to make the future achievements of this artifact not weak.

Seeing the joy on Huo Yuhao's face, Xu Jiujiu turned his eyes and fell on the ring in his hand, explaining softly.

"Keep this ring well. If you have any problems in the future, you can use it to come to the palace to find me or my brother. Since the things are fine, I will leave first. By the way, this is your breakfast."

As the only academy qualified to live on the top floor of the hotel during the competition, it is naturally standard to have meals delivered to the door, but Huo Yuhao is obviously the only one who can have the princess deliver it personally.

In order to avoid being seen by others and causing unnecessary trouble to both parties, Xu Jiujiu specially came a few minutes earlier than other waiters, but he didn't expect to run into Huo Yuhao coming out of Zhang Lexuan's room.

However, this is obviously not something she should care about. After hearing her explanation, Huo Yuhao subconsciously turned the ring over and noticed the crown pattern carved on the back of the ring with a special technique. The lines are clean and simple, but it seems to contain countless stars, and the stars are shining.

"Thank you."

Xu Jiujiu pursed his lips lightly and spoke lightly.

"It's just a matter of mutual benefit. I look forward to fighting with you in the game."

Hearing these words full of fighting spirit, Huo Yuhao was stunned for a moment, then laughed and shook his head.

"It's better not to meet. Compared with you Xingluo, I still hope to fight with the Sun and Moon team as soon as possible."

"Humph, you won't stare at the Sun and Moon team, which also has two Soul Emperors, just because your team has two Soul Emperors? Although we Xingluo don't have Soul Emperors, our strength is definitely not much worse than Sun and Moon."

"."

Huo Yuhao looked at Xu Jiujiu with a strange look on his face. He didn't understand what the girl meant by this, so he could only explain softly.

"What I mean is that this year's Sun Moon Team is different from the past. If you really meet them, you must be more careful."

Whether it was because she realized that Huo Yuhao's tone was not contemptuous or for some other reason, Xu Jiujiu did not refute.

After a short silence, she lifted her skirt and bowed slightly to Huo Yuhao, just like last night.

"Thank you for reminding me. I will come to you again when the investigation you commissioned has results."

Watching Xu Jiujiu's figure disappear in the corridor, Huo Yuhao blinked his eyes and was about to go back to his room to eat. When he turned around, he saw the silver-haired girl who appeared silently and was leaning against the door frame of the next room.

Without any emotional fluctuations, Gu Yuena just stared at him, silently.

"Uh"

In just a moment, Huo Yuhao felt beads of sweat on his back. As his brain was overloaded, he quickly thought about what he should say to ease the awkward situation.

Two seconds later, he spoke.

"Um, have you had breakfast?"

"."

I swear to God, this was the first time Huo Yuhao caught a glimpse of speechlessness in Gu Yuena's eyes.

The next second, Gu Yuena came straight to the door of his room. She raised her hand and touched the door handle in the air, and the closed door opened.

"Aren't you going to absorb the soul bone? It's just right. I'll help you watch."

The ethereal voice came into Huo Yuhao's ears. Gu Yuena turned her head, glanced at him meaningfully, and walked in first.

... You obviously don't just want to help me protect the law, right?

For some reason, the ordinary door in Huo Yuhao's eyes now looked like the entrance to the underworld, as if he would be eaten up by the evil bad woman as long as he stepped in.

As if he had foreseen what kind of tragic fate was waiting for him, Huo Yuhao's throat rolled again. After a moment of inner entanglement, he walked into the room with heavy steps like a knight who was ready to die.

Creak-bang.

As if the boundary between life and death had been redrawn, the door connected to the abyss closed again, binding all the sins inside.

Fortunately, even though Gu Yuena was full of resentment for his breaking the appointment last night, she knew that the business was more important and did not execute him on the spot as soon as she entered the room.

After a simple breakfast, Huo Yuhao took out the Ice Jade Scorpion Left Arm Bone and the Soul Devouring Fierce Knife from the storage space.

As soon as the former was obtained, the Ice Jade Emperor Scorpion Trunk Bone in Huo Yuhao's body sensed it.

Just like a terrifying creature from the wilderness awakened, with the green light bursting out from Huo Yuhao's chest, the soul bone in his hand instinctively trembled, and then it seemed to melt, turning into a pool of white liquid that penetrated into his left arm.

At this time, in Huo Yuhao's spiritual space, the greedy origin that had not moved for a long time finally moved again.

The surging dark golden energy rushed into the meridians frantically, scrambling to merge with the left arm bone of the Ice Jade Scorpion, transforming it into a state where the quality can continue to improve like the trunk bone.

And now, the first soul bone quality improvement began.

There are two ways to obtain the evolution of the soul bone after the greedy origin transformation. One is to absorb the soul bone with the same position, the same attributes, and higher quality, and the other is to absorb the energy with the same attributes and higher quality.

The transformation of the left arm bone by the Ice Emperor is carried out through the second method mentioned above.

In her previous life, she unlocked the power of origin contained in part of the trunk bone during this process, and forcibly increased the age of the left arm bone, making the quality of this soul bone leap from ten thousand years to one hundred thousand years.

Although relying on the connection with the Ice Jade Scorpion Clan, even if the greedy origin is not needed, the Ice Emperor can also transform this left arm bone, but after all, there is only such a chance during the first fusion.

Moreover, with the blessing of the greedy origin, the transformation of the Ice Emperor can be described as getting twice the result with half the effort. If the left arm bone in the previous life was already at its peak when it was upgraded to the level of one hundred thousand years, then after the transformation of the greedy origin in this life, one hundred thousand years is far from its limit.

Of course, Huo Yuhao did not forget another treasure. He picked up the Soul Devouring Fierce Knife with his right hand. As he chanted the spell in his mouth, the pale purifying fire rose from his palm, constantly burning the wisp of resentful spirit hidden in the carving knife.

High-end artifacts often only require the simplest treatment method.

When Huo Yuhao's Ice Jade Scorpion Soul Bone was completely fused, the cold aura on the Soul Devouring Fierce Blade had been completely removed, and the originally dark blade had now turned into a lush, crystal-clear and attractive color.

As if she had sensed that Huo Yuhao's harvest was about to be completed, Gu Yuena blinked her beautiful eyes and seemed to be more impatient than him to walk towards the bathroom.

"I'm a little sleepy. I'm going to take a shower."

"..."

Huo Yuhao coughed twice and silently put the Life Engraving Knife against his forehead. As the Eye of Destiny opened, his spiritual power began to slowly inject into the Life Engraving Knife and began to establish a connection with it.

He had experience in his previous life and was naturally familiar with it. After a while, the vast life energy like the ocean seemed to be hooked and rolled back into Huo Yuhao's body, further improving his physical fitness.

At this moment, Huo Yuhao once again felt the powerful effect of the Pride Origin.

Although he used Lust the most among the five original sins that he had unlocked, that was because Lust's ability was more in line with his daily needs, and it did not mean that other original sins were not useful.

Gluttony brought him an increase in cultivation speed and energy resistance, jealousy copied the characteristics of artifacts, and greed allowed his soul bones to increase their age.

And in terms of helping his own combat power, Pride is definitely ranked first.

In addition to being able to provide explosive power at critical moments, the upper limit of the body after Pride's transformation was simply raised by a large margin.

In simple terms, just like the Gluttony Origin made his appetite bigger, the Pride Origin made his body's appetite for all treasures that could improve physical fitness bigger.

Take the energy of absorbing the gold of living beings as an example. In his previous life, after Huo Yuhao obtained the Living Being Carving Knife, he did not absorb much life energy and his body reached a saturated state, so that for a long time afterwards, his limbs were filled with undigested life energy.

If you can't finish what's in the bowl, you don't have to keep staring at what's in the pot.

After the Pride Origin transformed his body, the life energy that was overflowing from his previous life could not even reach the saturation limit of his body this time, so he needed to continue to stimulate the Gold of Life to absorb more.

The most intuitive comparison is that when Huo Yuhao was level 30, he could only absorb soul rings with an age of less than 20,000 years. Even with the help of Brother Tianmeng to seal part of the energy, it could not exceed 35,000 years.

After digesting the life energy this time, with the help of Brother Tianmeng's seal, his fourth soul ring can even absorb soul rings with an age of 50,000 to 60,000 years.

You know, the seventh soul ring of a soul saint is generally only about 30,000 years.

In addition to his joy, Huo Yuhao also pulled out the piece of Gold of Life that was secretly bitten off by the golden tortoise in his spiritual space, and slowly merged it with the Life Carving Knife.

The green light kept surging, and the whole process looked like a perfect blend of water and milk. The life energy that was released instantly filled the room where Huo Yuhao was. Its richness was no less than that of the fierce place in the Xingdou Great Forest. Even if you just stayed here, you would feel relaxed and refreshed.

You can let Sister Xiaoya absorb it...

Adhering to the idea of ​​not wasting, Huo Yuhao suddenly had this idea in his mind. After all, although Tang Ya had the ability to heal, the life energy she consumed in healing was accumulated by her daily life of sucking trees.

Now that she was in Xingluo City, it was not easy for her to catch the green plants in the city and keep pulling them. At present, the life energy in this room should be enough to use until the end of the competition and there would be some left...

Thinking about it, he glanced at the closed bathroom door again, and listened to the sound of water coming from inside, and his face couldn't help but bitter.

Based on the current situation, even if he had this idea, he would probably have to wait until tomorrow.

Putting away his thoughts, Huo Yuhao looked at the short blade in his hand, which had completely changed and could be called the Sword of Life, and directly took out another silver-white carving knife with dark pink lines on it from the storage space.

Huo Yuhao slowly put the two together, one on the left and one on the right, and then urged the jealousy source in the spiritual space.

For a moment, the dark pink lines seemed to have life, wriggling and transferred to the Sword of Life. Along with the lines, the background color that symbolized the characteristics of the Silver Dragon Spear also faded from the carving knife.

Seeing this scene, Huo Yuhao's eyes deviated and fell on the Sword of Life in his right hand.

The originally attractive green-green color was now covered with complex dark pink lines, which gave people a very weird feeling just by looking at it.

As Huo Yuhao's mind moved, a bright golden color quickly spread like a drop of ink falling into clear water.

But unlike the ordinary carving knives before, the green color of the Sword of Life was not completely covered by the gold color, but was retained in the form of a pattern like the dark pink color.

It's done.

Waving the carving knife in his hand casually, Huo Yuhao couldn't help but smile. Just as he thought before, the Sword of Life that combined the characteristics of the Golden Dragon Spear was enough to bring him an unimaginable improvement in strength.

At this moment, a crisp sound of the door opening suddenly sounded from the room.

Click--

It was like falling from heaven to hell all of a sudden. The smile on Huo Yuhao's face froze, and he subconsciously turned his head to look.

As the bathroom door slowly opened, Gu Yuena, with her silver hair scattered, appeared from the faint white mist.

Her delicate body, like a work of art, was now simply covered with a plain white dress. I don't know what she was thinking about in the bathroom just now. Her fair skin was now with an attractive blush, making people reluctant to look away.

Gu Yuena scanned Huo Yuhao's body with some recklessness, and her sight finally fell on the Sword of Life in his hand, which had completely lost its original appearance, and asked calmly.

"Is it done?"

"Ah, yeah"

Before he finished speaking, Huo Yuhao suddenly felt a flash in front of his eyes, and a huge force hit him. When he came to his senses, he was already pressed down on the bed by Gu Yuena.

Looking at Huo Yuhao's face that was so close, Gu Yuena's eyes lit up with a strange purple light again, and the invisible space fluctuations swept the room, isolating everything again.

After doing this, she reached out and picked up the Sword of Life with a calm movement, as if she didn't care about this artifact at all, and threw it on the bedside table.

"In that case, let's talk about compensation for last night."

Five days later.

After the first round of eliminations ended and half of the teams were eliminated, the competition entered the round-robin stage of two days.

Compared to the eliminations where you have to leave if you lose, the intensity of the round-robin is much lower. The powerful teams are trying to keep their trump cards as much as possible and try to defeat the opponents in the round-robin at the lowest cost.

Shrek's first round-robin match ended yesterday. Although the much-anticipated Golden Dragon Girl did not appear, the appearance of a group of reserve players still attracted the audience's attention.

Although their soul rings and cultivation are not as shocking as Qiu'er, they are equally beautiful!

Outsiders watch the excitement, insiders watch the doorway. For most of the audience who have no soul power, it is enough to see beautiful women fighting.

But for the teams that are insiders, this scene is not so worth being happy about.

Blue Lightning Tyrannosaurus Rex, Black Tortoise Shield, and two girls whose cultivation is the Soul Sect and whose martial souls are Blue Silver Grass and Soft Bone Rabbit.

The reserve players are already Soul Sect members, which means that in five years, there will likely be several Soul Emperors among these four people.

In addition to Huo Yuhao and Gu Yuena, who look much younger in the main team, many teams have even secretly decided to start preparing for the next competition after returning.

Ten years of hard work, aiming at the Douling Competition!

As today's competition came to an end, the members of the Sun and Moon team looked unhappy on the way back to the hotel, and even the always confident Xiao Hongchen looked a little gloomy.

Except for one person, the captain of the main team, Xiao Lixuan.

"I will go to the auction after dinner, and may be back a little late. If you encounter any emergencies, you can wait until I come back."

"Auction?"

Ma Rulong was stunned for a moment. As the Sun and Moon team, which has always been rich and powerful, they will naturally receive invitations to auctions. After thinking for a moment, a strange look appeared on his face.

"But I remember today's auction is not about soul guides?"

Brother, are you okay?

We are the first soul guide empire in the continent. Maybe the soul guides sold in the auction are made by our Sun Moon Empire!

So you go abroad and buy things made in your own country instead of buying some local specialties?

"My soul guide research has encountered a bottleneck recently. Let's see if I can find some inspiration in this way."

Xiao Lixuan lied casually, but his eyes fell on the two old men who were the team leaders, as if waiting for their answers.

The two old men looked at each other, as if they were making a decision. Soon, the old man who looked a bit like Ma Rulong nodded slowly.

"Okay, in order to prevent you from getting into danger, I will go with you."

The other team members were not fools. As soon as this was said, they immediately noticed something wrong.

As the official auction house of Xingluo, how could it be possible for guests to have life safety problems?

It is more appropriate to say that Ma Lao's words are surveillance rather than protection.

But why treat the captain like this?

When Xiao Lixuan heard this, he subconsciously clenched his fists and nodded calmly.

"Then I'll trouble Mr. Ma to accompany me."
