Chapter 62: The race is accelerated and the fight ends
Thirty minutes of viewing time is not very long, but for several interested parties, it is enough.

Soon, the final auction officially began, but the starting price of the real dragon egg alone had already reached a sky-high price of 100 million gold soul coins.

Moreover, this will directly screen out some people who want to participate in the auction with a fluke mentality.

The subsequent bidding process mainly revolved around VIP Room No. 1, VIP Room No. 2, and VIP Room No. 3.

As the price continued to soar, it soon reached the range of 150 million gold soul coins.

The price was already outrageous enough, so soon, VIP Room No. 3 stopped bidding and withdrew from the competition.

The people in VIP Room No. 3 at this time are Lang Ya and Yu Tao from the Body Sect. Although the reputation of the Body Sect in the outside world is that it is both good and evil, it acts in a domineering and sharp manner and does things indiscriminately.

But in fact, the people in the Benti Sect are very clear about what they and their sect need. Their style of doing things may seem strange to outsiders, but it is only because it is the most efficient way to do it.

Under the influence of Lang Ya's mental power, soon the maid and auctioneer who were originally responsible for receiving them in the VIP room were affected and controlled by him, and went to investigate who was the person who was able to finally bid for the fire dragon egg.

After several rounds of intense bidding with VIP Room No. 2, VIP Room No. 1 managed to raise the auction price to 170 million.

But soon, the offer from VIP Room No. 2 reached 200 million gold soul coins. At this time, the whole place was silent, and no other forces bid with it.

Soon, with the final word, VIP Room No. 2 represented by the Sun-Moon Empire finally won the Fire Dragon Egg.

At this time, the forces in other VIP rooms also showed their talents and used various methods and channels to collect information about who was in VIP Room No. 2 and who took the photo of the fire dragon egg.

With the last lot being sold, this top auction came to a successful conclusion.

Soon everyone left the place through the hidden passages reserved in each VIP room.

But after the fire dragon egg left the supervision of the Xingluo royal family and fell into the hands of the Sun and Moon Empire.

It was destined that countless eyes were staring at the people from the Sun and Moon Empire, wanting to intercept them halfway and snatch the fire dragon egg.

And because of this fire dragon egg, the open and secret struggles among several major forces in the entire Douluo Continent are about to begin.

But these things have nothing to do with Huo Yuhao at this moment.

After returning to the Star Emperor Hotel, Huo Yuhao directly entered the Sea of ​​​​Spirit and integrated all kinds of new knowledge he had collected through the Eye of Truth during the competition a few days ago.

The next morning, it was a sunny day and Xingluo Square was crowded with people.

At this time, the Continental Advanced Soul Master Academy Soul Fighting Competition has entered the second half of the schedule, which is also the most anticipated moment.

Next up will be the round of 16, and this is also a knockout round, which is different from the previous round-robin tournament where teams will hide their strength through tactics.

Now all the participating teams will go all out. After all, all the participating teams have come this far, and they don’t want to leave the competition just like that no matter what.

However, this heated atmosphere had little to do with Huo Yuhao, because he would not have the opportunity to take part in the battle with the Douluo Royal Academy of Advanced Soul Masters, the first academy of the Douluo Empire.

In order to ensure that everything goes well, the lineup sent by Shrek Academy this time is:

Ma Xiaotao, Ling Luochen, Gong Yangmo, Xixi, Chen Zifeng, Xu Sanshi, Beibei.

The Douluo Royal Academy of Advanced Soul Masters, which had five Soul Kings, was undoubtedly in a position of being crushed when facing the Shrek team led by the Evil Fire Phoenix Soul Emperor.

The round of 16 is divided into two competition systems, one day for team competition and one day for individual competition.

The team competition on the first day is crucial. After all, all teams will send out their main players to try to get higher scores in the team competition.

If you can grasp this point.
As long as the opponent's main players suffer serious injuries in the team competition, the chances of winning all the subsequent individual competitions will be greatly improved.

But now that Ma Xiaotao's martial spirit has gradually transformed from the Evil Fire Phoenix to the corrupted Ma Xiaotao, every attack is naturally ruthless.

Even though the Douling Royal Advanced Soul Master Academy across the street is a famous school with a long history, this time it is equipped with an invincible shield as insurance.

But even so, not long after the start of the game, there were serious casualties due to an "accident".

The fifth-level invincible shield is said to be able to block any attack from any soul master below the eighth-ring soul douluo level for three seconds.

But it only lasts for three seconds. The production cost of the invincible shield is quite high even in the Sun-Moon Empire where it is produced.

As the ace academy of the Douling Empire, the Douling Royal Advanced Soul Master Academy can only equip each of its main students with one.

With the cultivation level of a five-ringed Soul King facing a six-ringed Soul Emperor, it only took a mere encounter for Gu Zhujian, the captain of the Douling Royal Advanced Soul Master Academy, to be replaced by Xuanming and controlled by Ma Xiaotao.

It is better to break one finger than to hurt five fingers. When the other six people from Shrek Academy went to support Xu Sanshi who was trapped in the enemy's camp, the battle between Ma Xiaotao and Guzhu Jian was soon over.

The three seconds of invincibility brought by the invincible shield was not enough to support Guzhu Sword to escape from Ma Xiaotao's attack.

He also became the first student to be seriously injured by Ma Xiaotao, and even beaten to the point of being on the verge of death.

The violent phoenix flame mixed with the evil energy was shot into Guzhu Jian's body. Although the referee rescued him in time and asked the healing soul master to stabilize his injuries.

However, the phoenix flame that Ma Xiaotao injected into his body was still raging in the meridians of the Guzhu Sword.

Even if he could manage to preserve his cultivation with the full efforts of the healing soul master, it would probably take Gu Zhu Jian a very long time to fight against the injuries in his body and suppress the evil fire and hidden injuries that would arise from time to time.

After the captain was seriously injured, although the people of the Douling Royal Advanced Soul Master Academy still wanted to resist, the defeat was ultimately decided and the cruel referee still took action and announced the defeat of the Douling Royal Advanced Soul Master Academy.

After all, if no action was taken, the casualties caused by Ma Xiaotao would probably increase. In just a short fight, two people were disabled and two were seriously injured.

According to the current situation, it is obvious that the Douling Royal Advanced Soul Master Academy will definitely have no hope in the subsequent individual competitions, and Shrek Academy has therefore successfully advanced to the quarterfinals.

However, Huo Yuhao in the audience could see it with his true eye. By analyzing the fluctuations of Ma Xiaotao's mental power in her mind, he realized that Ma Xiaotao might make a violent move this time.

It is not to achieve the tactical goal of the subsequent individual competition or to preserve the glory of Shrek Academy.

Perhaps she was simply venting her anger on the people in the Douling Royal Advanced Soul Master Academy. The influence of the evil fire had become more and more serious.

Afterwards, when Wang Yan returned to the Xinghuang Hotel, he held Ma Xiaotao accountable, but Ma Xiaotao, who was now affected by the evil fire, would not care about Wang Yan's tactical arrangements. Looking at Ma Xiaotao's dark red eyes, Wang Yan didn't dare to say anything more in the end, and could only mention a few words before ending hastily.

After all, now Xuan Zi, who was originally in charge of leading the team, has disappeared, and Ma Xiaotao is the strongest member of the team.

Even he, the teacher, was no match for Ma Xiaotao, so he could only compromise with Ma Xiaotao.

But if Ma Xiaotao were asked to do this in every subsequent competition, it would be a bit too much.

Although they are afraid of the so-called eternal glory of Shrek Academy as its endorsement, it will also greatly affect the views of civilians and other forces towards Shrek Academy.

Therefore, Wang Yan could only decide to send Ma Xiaotao to play less frequently in the next games, so as to reduce her chances of taking action as much as possible.

The quarter-finals did not bring much pressure to Shrek Academy.

This time they were luckier as the academy they met was not very strong. They made rapid progress all the way and Shrek Academy easily entered the semi-finals.

It’s just compared to the competition that is in full swing in Xingluo City now.

On the border of the Xing Luo Empire near the Sun and Moon Empire, in a mountain range where no one is allowed to go, things seemed extremely chaotic at this moment.

The lights of soul guides, soul skills, and soul power kept flickering in the dark night sky.

These attacks hit the soul guide shield, creating golden ripples. Inside the soul guide shield, a team of fully armed soul guides wearing various soul guides had anger in their eyes.

"Damn it, who leaked our information? Who are these people who are hiding their true identity?"

This group of soul masters are all level eight soul masters.

At the very center of their team, an old man exuded an aura that clearly showed that he had reached the level of a Titled Douluo above level ninety.

Obviously, this group of people are soul mentors from the Sun-Moon Empire, and this old man is a ninth-level soul mentor.

At this moment, the old man glanced at the people who were hiding in the darkness outside the soul guide protective shield and who, for some reason, tacitly did not reveal their martial spirit true forms. He sneered.

"Humph, they are just a bunch of rats. No matter who they are, it seems that if we don't hand over something this time, it will be difficult for us to leave."

At this time, a voice came from outside the soul guide protective shield, with the help of soul power, directly penetrated the soul guide protective shield and reached the ears of all the soul guides of the Sun and Moon Empire.

"Hand over that thing and I'll let you go, otherwise, you'll die."

The old soul guide looked at the rising sun in the distance. The faint light cut through the sky. The night was about to pass, and they probably didn't have much time left to make a decision.

It looks like if we don’t hand over something, the enemies coming this time will probably no longer care about concealing their true identities.

The old soul guide laughed loudly: "You want it? Then give it to you! Let's see who can grab it!"

The golden soul guide protective shield disintegrated instantly, and then a tiny storage soul guide device was thrown out by the old soul guide.

At the moment when this soul guide was thrown out, all the people who were watching secretly moved, and the soul guides of the Sun-Moon Empire fled in multiple directions.

The people who came to intercept them were now focusing their attention on this storage soul guide.

"Fire attribute aura, dragon aura."

"Yes, this is what we have been tracking all the way from Xingluo City."

"Damn it, this is ours!"

At this time, the forces that came to intercept the people of the Sun-Moon Empire were divided into dozens of groups and began to attack each other, all wanting to compete for this small storage soul guide.

But in an instant, a terrifying feeling of soul pressure made everyone's breathing stagnate, and then the storage soul guide device that was thrown into the air disappeared somewhere in an instant.

"Super Douluo? How is that possible? Whose power is this?"

"Damn it, it must be you who did this. I recognized you. Go to hell!"

"."

Just as everyone was confused about the loss of the target of this trip, and vented their anger for the past few days on others.
In an uninhabited dense forest, Xuan Zi input his soul power into the storage soul guide in his hand and opened the storage soul guide through his mental power.

Unexpectedly, this storage soul guide did not have any protection and was opened easily by him.

Afterwards, he was so angry that he even wanted to crush the ninth-grade storage soul guide in his hand, but in the end, he couldn't bear to do it.

Because the storage soul guide actually only contains a large number of corpses of fire-attributed sub-dragon soul beasts, and apart from that, it seems that some extremely special means have been used.

The aura emitted by these corpses was infinitely close to that of pure dragons. In addition, a small piece of scarlet crystal was taken out by Xuanzi.

It was precisely because of the existence of this crystal, coupled with the aura of the dragon bloodline, that even disturbed the perception of a Super Douluo like him, causing him to believe that this was what the people of the Sun-Moon Empire had photographed.

Thinking about it this way, the course of events is clear.

The team of soul guides that all of them were targeting was just bait, and the real person who held the fire dragon egg was them.

They probably waited until all the forces that coveted the Fire Dragon Egg had followed and tracked this team of soul masters away before they secretly left Xingluo City and the Xingluo Empire from other places.

At this time, five days had passed since the auction, and the soul guides of the Sun-Moon Empire had also delayed their time to a great extent along the way.

Trying to go back and look for the whereabouts of the fire dragon egg now would be like looking for a needle in a haystack.

but
"Humph, you can escape this time, but can you avoid the next time? Mingde Hall, just wait for me!"

Immediately, Xuanzi's figure disappeared into the jungle.

The dispute caused by the fire dragon egg has come to an end for the time being, but this is just the beginning.
