Chapter 98 Another Embryo
"This thing is no ordinary artifact. According to Ye Nanxiao's description, it can easily break through a level three soul-guided shield. Although it's still an experimental product, the key point is that it doesn't require soul power to drive it." A glint of fervor flashed in Xu Jiawei's eyes as he gently stroked the cold barrel of the gun in his hand.
"No soul power is needed!" Xu Jiujiu was incredibly intelligent and immediately figured out the specific application method.
How many people are there in Xingluo? Soul Masters only make up half of them.
"Just wait for news. Try your best to build a good relationship with Ye Nanxiao. There's definitely still a lot of room for improvement in this skill," Xu Jiawei said.
"I understand. Does this thing have a name?" Xu Jiujiu asked curiously.
"What's it called, AK47?" Xu Jiawei asked with a strange expression, clearly indicating that Ye Nanxiao's weapon had a rather unusual name.
When Ye Nanxiao returned to Shrek Academy's room, the Ice Jade Scorpion's soul bone had already been sold.
Qingya stepped forward and whispered a few words to Wang Yan, after which everyone saw Wang Yan with a relaxed expression.
Ma Xiaotao and Dai Yueheng instantly understood Wang Yan's meaning, and Ye Nanxiao also took the initiative to explain to Jiang Nannan, but Xiao Xiao looked puzzled.
Princess Jiu Jiu's figure reappeared on the Soul Guidance Light Screen, her golden dress perfectly outlining her figure.
"Next up is the last item."
As Qingya had previously explained, the golden auction outfit would feature items worth over 100 million, but when the Shrek team saw Xu Jiujiu in her long golden dress, they were still a little excited.
"As expected of Her Highness the Princess, she has a knack for winning people's hearts," Ye Nanxiao murmured.
"Distinguished guests, you should understand the value of this item by looking at the clothes Jiu Jiu is wearing. However, I must admit that this item is the most precious I have ever seen in my life. The items to be auctioned next are beyond the measure of money."
Xu Jiujiu's voice carried a hint of seriousness, causing everyone present to unconsciously raise their attention and look at him.
"It shouldn't be that thing, right? Xue'er is already mine." Ye Nanxiao's expression was a bit strange. Xue Di had already become his soul spirit, so what would be the next item to be auctioned?
"It's a disposable consumable, or perhaps a medicine." Xu Jiujiu gestured with his right hand, and the soul guidance screen immediately changed. A white tray appeared on the screen, with a wooden stand on it, inlaid with at least a hundred gems of various colors. On this small wooden stand, a wisp of air rippled slightly.
"It really is this." Ye Nanxiao narrowed his eyes, trying to see the soul beast inside the Conferred God Platform, but unfortunately, he could only see a wisp of white air.
"Xue'er, do you have any clansmen?" Ye Nanxiao frowned and asked in his spiritual sea.
"According to my memory, there isn't one." Xue Di's answer was clear. Although she didn't know why Ye Nanxiao would ask this question, she had a bad feeling when she saw the Conferred God Platform in Xu Jiujiu's hand through Ye Nanxiao's shared vision.
The gentle white airflow condensed and did not disperse, subtly surging left and right as if trying to break through the encirclement, while the wooden support below it continuously emitted a layer of pale golden light that enveloped it during its impact, preventing it from breaking through.
"This is a soul tool!" He Caitou's eyes narrowed as he stared intently at the Conferred God Platform in Xu Jiujiu's hand.
"Everyone must be very curious about what Jiu Jiu is holding. Although Jiu Jiu is an auctioneer, I still want to say that it is a blessing to be able to see this item."
He stared at the Conferred God Platform in his hand for a long time, his voice gradually softening.
"As everyone knows, if a 100,000-year-old soul beast breaks through its own limit and its cultivation advances further, it is called a super soul beast in the 100,000-year stage. Currently, we know of ten super soul beasts."
"However, there is another path that 100,000-year-old soul beasts can choose, which is to return to their original form and transform into us humans. Of course, very few soul beasts will choose this path, because all their cultivation will be reduced to nothing. Therefore, 100,000-year-old soul beasts that have transformed into humans are the easiest soul beasts for us to hunt."
Within Ye Nanxiao's spiritual sea, the Snow Emperor let out a cold snort, her entire body radiating a chilling aura.
"Xue'er, calm down," Ye Nanxiao said helplessly.
Snow Empress only restrained her chill after hearing Ye Nanxiao's reminder, but her gaze toward Xu Jiujiu was filled with intense hostility.
Xu Jiujiu slightly raised the Conferred God Platform in her hand, her voice a little excited, "Everyone knows what Jiujiu is talking about, so Jiujiu won't beat around the bush. In the Conferred God Platform in Jiujiu's hand is a 100,000-year-old soul beast that, after reaching its bottleneck, chose to re-cultivate into human form. During the transformation process, it was captured by a powerful being and imprisoned in the ninth-level soul tool, the Conferred God Platform. This wisp of energy, in a sense, can be considered the embryonic form of a soul beast when it re-cultivates into human form. Such a scene, let alone you all, I dare say, there are probably very few people in the entire Douluo Continent who have ever seen it."
After Xu Jiujiu finished speaking, the entire place fell silent. Even Wang Yan looked at the Investiture Platform in Xu Jiujiu's hand with surprise.
Ye Nanxiao frowned slightly as he looked at the white mass of air, his mind constantly pondering the possibility of soul beasts in the far north that could be reborn as humans.
The far north is vast, and countless spirit beasts live there. However, the far north is called a forbidden zone for humans not only because of the Three Kings of the Far North.
"How many soul beasts in the far north have a cultivation level of 100,000 years or higher?" Ye Nanxiao asked.
"There are quite a few, but I can't give you the exact number. These are none of my business," Xue Di replied.
Unable to get an answer, Ye Nanxiao had no choice but to give up thinking about which soul beast was inside the Conferred God Platform and instead began to examine the soul tool.
"It's a pity that the sealing ability of this soul tool is too strong, and I can't sense anything. However, if I can study this soul tool, I might be able to grasp a new research direction." Ye Nanxiao carefully observed the external structure of the Conferred God Platform.
Ma Xiaotao and the others looked horrified; a 100,000-year-old soul beast meant a 100,000-year-old soul ring and soul bone.
Xu Jiujiu was very satisfied with the reaction at the scene and smiled slightly, saying, "Jiujiu has even more exciting news here. According to the research of the powerful Soul Master who captured the Soul Beast, the Soul Beast's memories are sealed in this state. In addition to providing a 100,000-year Soul Ring and Soul Bone, it may also be directly absorbed."
Upon hearing this, Wang Yan's expression turned to shock. He quickly stepped forward and stared at the Conferred God Platform in Xu Jiujiu's hand through the Soul Guiding Light Screen. With his extensive knowledge, he vaguely understood what Xu Jiujiu meant.
If absorbed directly, it may transform into a martial soul.
Watching the scene unfold as if it were unfolding according to a script, Ye Nanxiao's doubts deepened. He thought to himself, "It seems my wings have a significant impact, or is the power of destiny in this world still following its original trajectory?"
Xu Jiujiu still smiled and quickly said, "Although absorbing all the power of a soul beast will not yield a 100,000-year soul ring and soul bone, there is a chance that the soul beast will become the absorber's other martial soul. Although the probability is relatively small and it requires the Conferred God Platform, is a martial soul that can be equipped with nine soul rings less valuable than a 100,000-year soul ring and soul bone?"
Her tone was agitated, revealing that Xu Jiujiu was also extremely unsettled at that moment.
Huo Yuhao asked Hyotei in his spiritual sea, "Is this really possible?"
However, Bingdi did not respond to Huo Yuhao immediately. Bingdi was radiating a boundless rage that could erupt at any moment. Tianmeng Bingcan hurriedly used her powerful spiritual energy to soothe Bingdi's anger.
"I never expected that any of you humans would be so lucky. It seems that the person who captured it was well-prepared. The process of a soul beast transforming into a human is extremely fragile, so they must have been extra careful. This capturer probably has special methods. Indeed, forcibly fusing such an embryo could potentially transform it into a martial soul, but it wouldn't be as compatible as the one between you and me. A portion of the soul beast's will would remain, and when that happens, something bad will definitely happen."
Hyotei said coldly, his anger undiminished.
Huo Yuhao sighed softly and turned to look at Ye Nanxiao. To Huo Yuhao's surprise, Ye Nanxiao's eyes were clear and there was no greed for the 100,000-year-old soul beast embryo.
Xu Jiujiu then explained the precautions for fusion embryos and the special nature of the Conferred God Platform.
Although Ye Nanxiao wanted to find out who the soul beast in the Conferred God Platform was, when he heard Xu Jiujiu's words about the spatial and temporal functions of the Conferred God Platform, a flash of inspiration struck him, and he seemed to have grasped a special path of soul tools.
After a brief moment of surprise, Wang Yan sat back on the sofa with a furrowed brow. Ma Xiaotao and Dai Yueheng beside him were the same. Buying such a treasure would definitely cause them serious financial losses, and it was uncertain whether they could even bring it back. Ling Luochen remained aloof and sat quietly next to Ma Xiaotao, ignoring the 100,000-year-old soul beast embryo.
Ma Xiaotao sighed softly, turned to look at Ye Nanxiao, and was just as shocked by the clarity in Ye Nanxiao's eyes as Huo Yuhao. She clapped her hands and said, "Alright, alright, snap out of it. This isn't Shrek Academy's stuff. Although it's pretty good, it's too expensive. With this money, it would be more worthwhile to ask a few old monsters in the academy to capture a 100,000-year-old soul beast. We can just watch the show."
Upon hearing this, Ye Nanxiao thought more highly of Ma Xiaotao, secretly remarking that Ma Xiaotao had a good character and it was no wonder she could become the captain of the Shrek Seven Devils.
Dai Yueheng also agreed with Ma Xiaotao's statement and echoed her words.
Huo Yuhao found Wang Dong's composure strange. Ye Nanxiao, knowing Wang Dong's identity, was not as puzzled by Wang Dong's attitude as Huo Yuhao. He sat back down next to Jiang Nannan, picked up a fruit that looked like an apple from the table, and conjured a mini ice knife from the tip of his left index finger, starting to cut the fruit.
Wang Yan looked at Huo Yuhao chatting with Wang Dong and Ye Nanxiao feeding Jiang Nannan fruit, a hint of relief flashing in his eyes. He was surprised by the character of the three of them, and happy that Shrek Academy would have three more compassionate Title Douluos in the future.
Just then, there was a knocking sound outside the door. Qingya quickly stood up and gave Wang Yan a look that asked for instructions.
Wang Yan nodded, and Qingya then went over and opened the door.
The door opened, and the first to enter was Princess Jiujiu, who had changed into a golden palace dress. The young man following behind her was none other than His Majesty the Emperor of the Star Luo Empire, Xu Jiawei, who had previously discussed business with Ye Nanxiao.
The maids and Qingya in the room immediately knelt down to pay their respects to Xu Jiawei. After a brief moment of surprise, the Shrek Academy members also quickly stood up and bowed to Xu Jiawei.
Wang Yan asked, "Your Majesty, what's going on?"
Xu Jiawei excused the people in the room from their formalities and smiled, "I just came to see you all. Your performance at Shrek Academy has left a deep impression on me."
Wang Yan invited Xu Jiawei to the sofa, but Xu Jiawei shook his head, expressed his gratitude to Huo Yuhao for the Ice Jade Scorpion Soul Bone issue, and gave the Ice Jade Scorpion Soul Bone to Huo Yuhao.
Apart from Ye Nanxiao, everyone from Shrek Academy was taken aback.
