Chapter 139: Ice‑Emerald Scorpion Left Arm Bone

And the following items have nothing to do with Shi Laike.

The five items in succession are a left arm bone, a right arm bone, a left leg bone, an extremely rare metal, and a ranged‑attack level‑8 soul conduit.

It is worth mentioning that ranged soul conduit: as a level‑8 soul conduit, its user must be a Honored Douluo‑level strongman. It is called the Open Heaven Split Earth Cannon, also originates from Ri Yue Di Guo, but it is not a Ming De Hall product; its maker is a rare level‑9 soul master.

The reason it is rated as a level‑8 rather than level‑9 soul conduit is mainly that its material is slightly inferior, limiting the number of uses of this Open Heaven Split Earth Cannon, so it can be used only once per day.

At the same time, its charging time is long and it can only target a fixed opponent, making it of little use in battles of the same level; as Princess Jiu Jiu evaluated, it is a level‑8 soul conduit with a level‑9 core formation.

In the end, this Open Heaven Split Earth Cannon was bought by another buyer for as much as 7,000,000 gold soul coins.

Wang Yan is not unwilling to act, but at this price level he does not dare to decide lightly; after all, his authority in the Academy is limited. As for the trainees, no one can use this thing, and no one can produce that much money, so they can only be spectators.

Aside from the first two auction items, the later items each fetched a higher price, and the goods did not particularly attract them, so they naturally remained silent.

Soon, it came to the penultimate item, and Jiu Jiu's figure appeared on the big screen for the eighth time, smiling:

"The next two auction items will be today's main attractions. I believe all distinguished guests will be interested, so seize the opportunity—some fine items are rare to see, perhaps even the mainland cannot find a second one. For example, our upcoming eighth item is still a soul bone, but it is exceptionally unique; please take a look."

A flash of light, and a soul bone, magnified an unknown number of times, appeared on the soul conduit screen.

The soul bone was entirely emerald‑green, its emerald aura swirling and rippling over it, as if emerald‑colored liquid lay within.

In appearance, it is a left‑arm soul bone; atop its emerald body it emits a faint white mist.

Because it is magnified many times, its strangeness is more palpable; on the emerald surface of this arm bone seem to be tiny crystal clusters, glittering and transparent, as if carved from gems.

The few soul bones that appeared earlier pale in comparison, clearly not of the same tier.

"How could…?"

"Bastard!"

"——"

The moment this soul bone appeared, the three within Huo Yutong's Sea of Spirit reacted.

Tianmeng wore an expression of disbelief, the Ice Emperor cursed angrily out loud, and the Snow Emperor, though silent, also exuded a powerful sense of oppression.

Huo Yutong jumped in fright and quickly asked:

"What's wrong? Is there something wrong with that soul bone?" The several soul beasts gave her no answer; she could only feel the anger of the two ice‑snow emperors, especially the Ice Emperor's, soaring.

At this moment, Princess Jiu Jiu's alluring voice, now slightly deeper than before, rang out, sounding even more beautiful and seductive.

"Distinguished guests, I am honored to introduce the next soul bone. As everyone knows, for a soul master, the most precious items are the 100,000‑year soul ring and the 100,000‑year soul bone, and these two almost never appear at auctions, even at our Star Light Auction; such top‑tier treasures have never been seen, because whoever possesses them would not sell them but would cultivate into a top‑level strongman."

"The soul bone you now see is the most top‑tier one we have found at the Star Light Auction venue in recent years. After acquiring it, our auction house first chose to preserve it; we had not intended to put it up for bidding because it is exceedingly precious and extremely rare."

"I believe you can see it as well: this soul bone has the Ice Attribute. Before introducing its advantages, I will first tell you its drawbacks. Some guests might find it odd that, as auction staff, I would point out a item's flaws. This is because our Star Light Auction always puts honesty first, and the drawbacks of this item can also be considered part of its strengths."

"I will now list three drawbacks. First, it requires the absorber to have the Ice Attribute; only an ice‑attribute soul master can absorb it, and such masters likely make up less than one percent of all soul masters. Second, the soul skill attached to it is fixed; it cannot possess other soul skills, thus its versatility is greatly limited. Third, its age ranges from 50,000 to 70,000 years, so it demands higher physical quality from the absorber; beyond that, there is nothing else."

Compared with the other items, Princess Jiu Jiu's remarks when introducing this soul bone were noticeably more extensive, clearly showing her high expectations for the penultimate item.

As for her voluntarily mentioning the so‑called "drawbacks" of this soul bone… just look at Wang Yan's stunned expression; this speech is less about exposing flaws and more about covertly praising its merits.

Attribute fixed? Skill fixed? Perhaps it does impose some limitations, but it also means its capability within its compatible range far exceeds that of ordinary soul bones.

Calling its high age a drawback is even more ridiculous; I have only heard of people disliking low‑age soul bones, never of anyone disliking high‑age ones.

Undoubtedly, whatever its origin, this soul bone belongs to the top tier of soul bones seen on the market—absolutely valuable yet without a market.

However, what surprised Shi Laike and the others was still to come.

"Having covered the drawbacks, we must now tell the distinguished guests about its advantages."

Shifting tone, Princess Jiu Jiu's voice became filled with sincerity.

"As the chief auctioneer of the Star Light Auction and also a princess of the Star Net Empire, I can, with my dual identity, guarantee that everything I say next is true, without a single false word—this soul bone's host soul beast is one of the super soul beasts that holds dominion in the extreme northern bitter‑cold lands, the Ice‑Emerald Scorpion."

When she said that, Shi Laike and the others couldn't help but cast amazed glances at Huo Yutong.

They all knew the origin of the external attached soul bone on Huo Yutong, and together with Huo Yutong's ultimate‑ice martial soul, it was clear that this soul bone's compatibility with her was excellent.

And Huo Yutong instantly realized why the two ice‑snow emperors reacted so strongly.

Could it be any less intense? That bone fell from an Ice Emperor clan member!
