Chapter 12: Continuing to fleece Huo Yuhao
"Isn't it rather impolite of you to stare at my sect's disciples like that?"
A telepathic message rang in Jiang Heng's ear.
Jiang Heng used his spiritual power to trace the trail and quickly located the other party.
This is a level 96 Title Douluo, exuding a rich aura of blood and qi and a heavy, oppressive presence.
Given this state, the fact that they are still protecting Huo Yuhao clearly indicates that they are from the Body Sect.
At this time, there was only one person in the Body Sect with such strength: the Great Elder of the Body Sect, the Golden Body Douluo, Jinpeng.
His martial soul is his original martial soul body, which is also a gold-level second awakening. Whether it is defense or explosive power, it is top-notch.
Although he only had the strength of level 96, after using his true form's secret technique, his combat power was in no way weaker than that of a level 97 Title Douluo.
It's far beyond what I can handle right now.
"The Body Martial Soul's eyes are connected to the brain, so it seems the Body Sect has taken in a pretty good disciple."
Jiang Heng did not show any fear despite the other party's intimidation.
With Di Tian's Achilles' heel present, the opponent could not only not detect his true form, but also could not sense his true aura and realm.
No matter how reckless the Body Sect may be, they would never fight a Title Douluo whose strength is unknown just because someone glanced at their disciple.
"Thank you for your kind words. This disciple is our sect leader's disciple and the sect's next successor."
The Golden Body Douluo's response was also a warning to Jiang Heng: don't try anything with Huo Yuhao.
The reason for this was that he had no way of knowing the strength of this person, so he naturally had to be cautious.
Jiang Heng ignored the other party and continued watching the game.
If you watch the so-called Soul Master Competition from the perspective of a Soul Beast, you'll find that it's completely meaningless.
How utterly boring!
He felt he needed to find an opportunity to create some turmoil, to make the so-called chosen one live in a world of war and chaos.
Perhaps only through the nourishment of blood and tears can this chosen one truly grow.
This might give them a better chance of escaping the control of that shameless person in the sky.
If they succeed by sheer luck, it might be a good thing for the soul beast.
After watching several matches, Jiang Heng found them increasingly boring and stopped watching, instead finding a place to stay temporarily.
While silently refining the spiritual essence of the Heavenly Dream Ice Silkworm to enhance his spiritual power, he also forged a soul tool with his human body.
In the past, the soul tools he forged were all crudely made, with great force that could cause bricks to fly, and he only wanted something that was sturdy and durable.
There's no way around it; being able to concentrate on research while in beast form is already quite an achievement.
This level 8 Soul Master is at the bottom of his class in the Douluo Three Kingdoms, and he's a complete fraud in the Sun Moon Empire.
Now that I have a human body, I naturally want to walk the same path again and strive for excellence.
A few days later, the Star Luo Empire's Royal Auction began. As a Title Douluo, it was not difficult for Jiang Heng to obtain a spot to participate.
Only then did he leave his residence to attend the auction.
The auctioneer was none other than Xu Jiujiu, whom he had previously threatened.
Since he took away the Soul-Devouring Blade, and Huo Yuhao didn't have Electrolux on him, there were no further related plot developments.
"The next item up for auction is a magical blood-red crystal..."
As Xu Jiujiu brought out the next item for auction, Jiang Heng, sitting in the VIP room, immediately became eager.
Although he didn't know what the crystal was, he could clearly feel his own desire and obsession with it.
This is a restlessness from the very bloodline.
"The blood of a true dragon?"
Staring intently at the fist-sized, blood-red crystal, Jiang Heng knew he had to find a way to obtain it.
If it is really as I guessed, after absorbing and refining it, my bloodline will break through to a higher level.
Xu Jiujiu described the blood-red crystal in great detail, but because he couldn't explain its usefulness, no one participated in the bidding.
"One hundred thousand gold soul coins!"
Just then, an old voice rang out.
At the Starry Sky Royal Auction, bidders do not need to speak up; staff will assist them. However, this person makes no attempt to conceal his identity.
His words were filled with an undeniable air of dominance.
He exclaimed that 10 gold soul coins sounded like a million gold soul coins.
Anyone with a modicum of strength could sense that this was a powerful Title Douluo.
It's truly irrational to fight a Title Douluo for something that's completely unknown.
Therefore, even those who wanted to buy it for research abandoned the idea upon hearing this voice.
"20 million!"
Jiang Heng made a bid without any hesitation.
If he had only guessed at first, he was absolutely certain after hearing this person's voice.
The person who spoke was no stranger to him; it was the Grand Elder of the Body Sect, the Golden Body Douluo, with whom he had recently exchanged spiritual power.
Only the Golden Body Douluo came to bid, so there's nothing particularly noteworthy about him.
But he was accompanied by a chosen one.
Jiang Heng couldn't help but wonder if this blood-red crystal was a new opportunity prepared by the consciousness of the plane for the chosen one.
Even if it had no effect on him, he would still want to take it and study it first.
"30 million Gold Soul Coins!"
The Golden Body Douluo chose to bid again.
Although their sect is poor, they are not short of money.
Does the fact that other forces are rich mean that they are rich?
I don't feel bad spending it at all.
"100 million!"
Jiang Heng did not back down in the slightest.
"200 million!"
The Golden Body Douluo spoke again in a deep voice, his voice now tinged with anger.
Although the Body Sect can do business without capital, they really don't like to carry money when they go out.
This is an auction held by the Star Luo Empire. Are you suggesting we rob them on the spot?
He's not that arrogant.
After the bidding, the Golden Body Douluo began to use his mental power to see who was competing with him.
Faced with such blatant prying, Jiang Heng did not flinch in the slightest.
"300 million!"
"Friends of the Body Sect, I should give you face, but this item is of extraordinary use to me, so I will take this opportunity to offend you."
As Jiang Heng spoke, he started bidding again.
The reason I said this was simply because I didn't want to completely break ties with the other party and avoid trouble.
Of course, if the other party really wanted to act like a bandit, he really wasn't afraid.
Putting aside direct combat, simply by using Di Tian's Reverse Scale to conceal himself, after leaving the auction, he could find a place to hide, and the other party would be unable to find him.
"Elder Jin, let it go."
"I just thought this crystal was special, but after actually buying it, I still don't know its specific uses."
Just as the Golden Body Douluo was about to bid again, Huo Yuhao spoke up.
