Chapter 61 Undercurrent
Xu Jiujiu did not continue the introduction, but let the people participating in the auction imagine on their own.

If you can obtain this fire dragon egg, it will bring immeasurable benefits to your own forces.

At this time, no one spoke. Everyone participating in the auction fell silent. In the VIP room, only the breathing of the crowd was gradually getting heavier.

"After 30 minutes of rest and appreciation time, our final auction will officially begin. This auction allows you to exchange money by mortgage."

"Our auction house will evaluate the collateral at market price, but we will charge a 20% handling fee after converting it into money. This opportunity is rare and will never come back. I hope all the distinguished guests can seize this unprecedented opportunity."

Then, Xu Jiujiu's figure disappeared on the soul guide screen, leaving only the red crystal that was displaying in all directions and the dark red dragon egg wrapped in the crystal.

In VIP Room No. 7 where everyone from Shrek Academy was, Xuan Zi's old eyes, which were originally full of drunkenness, were now filled with shock.

At this moment, even the chicken drumstick in his mouth no longer smelled good: "Real dragon egg, real dragon egg, I didn't expect that the finale of the auction would be this?"

"The Xingluo royal family has gone crazy. Why would they put something of this level up for auction?"

He did not sense the breath of the fire-attributed real dragon with the breath of life at first. Obviously, the royal family of the Xingluo Empire must have used some means to broadcast the situation of the real dragon egg.

The real dragon egg is definitely not in this auction house. It is probably hidden somewhere in Xingluo City, and its aura is being concealed by someone at this time.

As for Shrek Academy, the hundred thousand year soul rings and soul bones are sought after by all soul masters.

For those of them who are at the top of the inner courtyard of Shrek Academy, the elders of Poseidon Pavilion, it is not uncommon and can even be considered standard.

Although it is impossible to guarantee that every core elder of Shrek Academy will be equipped with a hundred thousand year spirit ring and spirit bone.

However, in order to ensure that the glory of Shrek Academy will not be interrupted, there will be at least three people in each generation who possess a hundred thousand year spirit ring and matching spirit bones.

The hundred thousand year soul bones will be passed down. Although the soul bones may be damaged due to battles or failed breakthroughs, in fact, this kind of thing is not that rare in Shrek Academy.

But the real dragon is different. As Xu Jiujiu said just now, in the entire Douluo Continent, the only confirmed pure-blooded real dragon is the Beast God Di Tian.

Because the academy is right next to the Star Dou Great Forest, and with years of experience in hunting souls, Shrek Academy is actually very clear about it, although it lives in seclusion.

But in addition to the Beast God Di Tian, ​​there is also a ferocious dragon beast with impressive cultivation in the core area of ​​the Star Dou Great Forest.

Moreover, the true form of the dragon beast has also been confirmed. It is the ninth ranked beast and the king of the Hell Dragon clan.

Although the Hell Dragon can be considered a true dragon, the actual status of this so-called true dragon among the dragon clan is similar to that of the Blue Lightning Tyrannosaurus Rex.

It is a mutated bloodline outside the nine direct dragon clans, and its status is far superior to that of the nine direct dragon clans.

Their so-called pure blood can only be regarded as the purification of ancestral blood, and cannot be called the true direct descendant of the dragon clan.

There are actually only nine direct branches of the dragon clan, and those are the nine dragon clans that are inherited by the direct bloodlines of the Time Dragon King, Mountain Dragon King, Fire Dragon King, Water Dragon King, Earth Dragon King, Wind Dragon King, Light Dragon King, Dark Dragon King, and Space Dragon King.

In addition to the most popular titles, these dragon kings have many other aliases, which are not listed here.

Whether it is the Blue Lightning Tyrannosaurus Rex or the Hell Dragon, although these dragon species are also known as real dragons, they are actually mutations or hybrids of the nine major dragon clans.

In terms of strength and potential, they are far inferior to the dragon clan that was once commanded by the nine dragon kings, so they can only be called real dragons among the dragon clan, and cannot be called pure-blooded.

But looking at the current situation, Xuanzi believes that what is sealed in this red crystal is most likely the last direct bloodline of the Fire Dragon clan remaining in the world, especially now that there are so few dragons left in the world.

Once this fire dragon is hatched, its status and value can be imagined. If such a thing is not in the hands of Shrek Academy, it would be too terrible.

Xuan Zi's eyes were a little dim at this time. He squinted his old eyes and gulped down a mouthful of wine in the gourd. No one knew what he was thinking.

It’s a pity that I came out in such a hurry this time, and I’m afraid I won’t be able to raise much money in just thirty minutes.

The intention of the Starlight Auction House is very clear. They just want to take this opportunity to make a killing for everyone who is interested in the real dragon egg.

After all, even if you didn’t successfully bid for the item, the items you exchanged cannot be refunded.

So the 20% profit from this in and out is enough for the Starlight Auction House to make a fortune.

After a long time, Xuan Zi sighed and then his figure disappeared.

Wang Yan was helpless when he saw this situation. He also understood Xuanzi's meaning. They, Shrek Academy, might not have the chance to participate in this competition.

After all, I had already spent a lot of money to buy an ancient ice dragon's external soul bone.

How could Shrek Academy at this moment have the ability to compete with those forces that have been waiting for the opportunity and even well prepared?
Compared to the other Shrek people who were all feeling helpless and regretful, Huo Yuhao didn't feel much at this moment. After all, whether it was a fire dragon or an ice dragon, they were both existences that he was unable to touch at the moment.

And even if Shrek Academy could bid for these two treasures at the same time, but according to his current status in Shrek Academy.

Even if Shrek Academy could really bring out the value of these treasures, it would definitely not be his turn.

Not to mention, with the previous evidence from the Tianmeng Ice Silkworm, Huo Yuhao can now basically be sure that even if other people can get these two auction items, they will not be able to fully utilize them for a while.

This ice dragon external soul bone can be regarded as a high-end version of the ice scorpion's left arm bone in the original novel.

It is extremely difficult to absorb it. I am afraid that only by finding the magical herbs related to ice attribute to blend it can it be easier.

Not to mention the real dragon egg, which is extremely precious, and the fire dragon is also very powerful.

However, the time and resources required for the growth of a fire dragon cannot be accomplished in just a year or two.

Huo Yuhao is now almost certain that this fire dragon egg is the one that was supposed to be left to the last Fire Dragon King in the Longma Galaxy before the Ultimate Douluo period 20,000 years later due to the cosmic drift of the Dragon Tomb.

As a direct descendant of the dragon clan, they are indeed powerful after growing up.

But even if the hatching is successful, the resources required for the growth of a pure-blooded true dragon are astronomical. If it cannot grow up, it will be useless.

And it is not so easy to hatch her. After all, in the original novel, Fire Dragon King Jialin was successfully hatched with the help of the vitality of countless dragon bloodlines in Tianlong Star. At that time, there were already many god-level strongmen in Tianlong Star, and now Douluo Star is still under the control of the God Realm.

How to gather so much high-level vitality to hatch it is an extremely difficult task, unless one goes to rob the Lake of Life in the Star Dou Great Forest.

However, the Lake of Life in the Star Dou Great Forest is related to the recovery of the Silver Dragon King's injuries. If someone really wants to attack him, the Beast God Di Tian will be furious.

Although a fully grown pure-blooded real dragon does not have god-level strength due to the suppression of the plane laws of Douluo Star, with the combat power of Di Tian who possesses the inheritance of the Dragon God, it is likely that he will be hard to find an opponent on Douluo Star.

At this time, Xu Jiujiu opened the door of VIP Room No. 1 and walked in. He said to the young man sitting on the sofa with a smile on his face: "Brother, the target has taken the bait. They have begun to sell soul guides to us in exchange for gold soul coins."

"And after we proposed that if the soul guides were produced by Mingde Hall, the handling fee could be reduced to 10%, they did as we expected and sold us quite a few soul guides from Mingde Hall."

"In addition to them, there are several other sects that are interested in this and have also offered us a lot of supplies in exchange for money, but none of them are as generous as Mingde Hall."

The emperor of the Xingluo Empire nodded and said, "As expected, it seems that Mingde Hall and the others are determined to win this battle."

Xu Jiujiu also smiled and said, "Yes, after all, in addition to the real dragon, the crystal wrapped around the dragon egg, as a high-energy product, is also very attractive to those soul mentors."

Emperor Xing Luo shook his head: "They don't even think about it. If it is really that easy to use, why would we give it up?"

"By the way, how is His Majesty the Broken Star Douluo?"

Xu Jiujiu smiled bitterly: "Thanks to the help of His Majesty the Medical Immortal Douluo, the injury has been stabilized, but if I want to recover completely, I'm afraid it will take at least a year or two."

Upon hearing this, Emperor Xingluo also sighed. They were naturally overjoyed as they had obtained the dragon egg before.

However, after many studies, there was no progress, and due to the crystal blocking the outside, it was impossible to actually detect the situation of the dragon egg.

Therefore, they also specially invited the Super Douluo, Shattered Star Douluo, from the Xing Luo Empire's Worship Hall.

The strength of this Shattered Star Douluo is extraordinary. As a level 95 Super Douluo, he is already a rare strong man in the Star Luo Empire.

Moreover, Star-Broken Douluo's martial soul is very peculiar. It is a powerful mutated martial soul. Because there has never been a precedent for it, he calls it the Light of Star-Broken.

In terms of the attacking ability of his martial spirit alone, this Shattered Star Douluo is in no way inferior to a Super Douluo at level ninety-six or even ninety-seven.

Because his martial soul possesses an extremely rare power of space, or the power of space destruction, its pure lethality is hard to find an opponent among all kinds of martial souls.

Moreover, he was facing a dragon egg, a dead object that would not resist. Logically speaking, even if he had to grind it slowly, it would be easy for this Shattered Star Douluo to capture it.

But the facts proved that the Xingluo Empire thought too much.

It only slightly affected the crystal itself. When Shattering Star Douluo had just used all his strength to activate the Shattering Star Light, he scraped off a small piece of the crystal.

Immediately afterwards, a horrific explosion occurred, and the backlash of the fire element directly severely damaged the Super Douluo.

If it weren't for the Medical Immortal Douluo who was there to support him and treat him in time, the injury would have been even more serious.

But after paying such a huge price, the small piece of red crystal obtained had no way to be used.

However, the Star Luo Empire also speculated that the previous explosion that severely damaged Shattered Star Douluo might have been caused by the release of energy from this piece of crystal.

It is precisely because the energy inside has been consumed, leaving only the outer empty shell, that it cannot be utilized.

Of course, this is also a conclusion drawn based on the fact that they dare not demolish it violently again. They have no idea what the real facts are.

But I’m afraid that the people of the Star Luo Empire would never be able to imagine it.

The red crystal wrapped around the dragon egg is probably even more powerful than the power that can be exerted by the Beast God Di Tian, ​​who is obviously the most powerful beast in the world, under normal circumstances.

Because this red crystal is a god-level product, it was created by a pure-blooded fire dragon of divine beast level, who burned his entire life's cultivation and life to protect his unborn child.

For human soul masters on Douluo Continent who have not even reached the god-level, wanting to crack it through violence can only be said to be overthinking.

Just because of the previous lesson, the Xingluo Empire no longer dared to keep the dragon egg in its own treasury.

After all, although the crystal covering the dragon egg seems very stable, what if a real dragon is born and hatches from the shell one day?

So when the crystal shatters, will it cause another horrific explosion?

The red crystal is so huge. If the energy hidden in it really explodes, what a terrible outcome it would be.
It is better to sell this kind of dangerous goods that cannot be used as soon as possible so that you can have peace of mind sooner.

Moreover, this would not only cause trouble for the Sun-Moon Empire, but also enrich its own treasury. There are so many benefits, so why not do it?

After coming back to his senses, Emperor Xingluo said to Xu Jiujiu: "If nothing unexpected happens, they should be the final winners."

"After the auction is over, I will allocate 100 million gold soul coins to you. Three months later, you will issue the task of seizing the treasure of Mingde Hall to the Adventurer's Guild."

"I want you to muddy the waters of the Sun-Moon Empire as much as possible. Only in this way can we buy some more time."

Emperor Xingluo also sighed after he finished speaking. "I just hope that we can be well prepared before that day comes."

All these arrangements can only be regarded as helpless moves. After all, the national strength of the Star Luo Empire is far behind that of the Sun and Moon Empire.

It can even be said that after the end of the previous war, the gap in strength between the two sides has not only not narrowed over the past few thousand years, but has become wider and wider.

A weak country has no diplomacy, so they can only hope to delay the progress of the Sun-Moon Empire through such small tricks.

Xu Jiujiu also understood the pressure that was building up in the heart of Emperor Xingluo, but she was unable to comfort him. After all, as members of the royal family, they were destined to rise and fall together with the country.

Being born in this era and being a member of the royal family can perhaps be considered a misfortune.
