Chapter 140: Ice Burst Technique

Xu Jiujiu's eager voice continued to come from the screen.

"The advantages of this Ice Jade Scorpion left arm bone are the same as its disadvantages, and there are three of them. First, as a soul bone produced by the Ice Jade Scorpion that commands the Ultimate Ice element, absorbing it will dramatically increase the power of all soul skills used by a soul master. Second, the Ice Jade Scorpion itself possesses boundless strength, and absorbing it will correspondingly strengthen the soul master's physique. Third, and most importantly, although the soul skill on it is fixed, it fixes a divine skill, and the name of that divine skill is Ice Burst Technique."

"Ah?!"

"What?!"

"Huo Yutong, take it!"

In an instant, three urgent voices sounded together in Huo Yutong's mind, startling her so that her whole body trembled slightly.

Huo Yutong quickly asked, "Tianmeng, Ice Emperor, Snow Emperor, is that divine skill called Ice Burst Technique really that powerful?"

She wasn't stupid; when she previously heard the origin of this soul bone, those three soul beast powerhouses had only felt anger and doubt, but as soon as they heard the term Ice Burst Technique, their emotions immediately became excited, clearly the first two points were just icing on the cake, and Ice Burst Technique, this divine skill, was the main point.

"Of course, you should know that as the king of my clan, I couldn't even master this divine skill!" Ice Emperor said excitedly, "Huo Yutong, you must take it; let me tell you this: if I had possessed this divine skill in my lifetime, I would have had the chance to challenge the Snow Emperor in the Extreme North Ice Plains."

Snow Emperor nodded calmly.

"Huo Yutong, do you still remember that guy called the Death God Emissary who messed you up? The power of Ice Burst Technique can be referenced from his corpse explosion; it can absolutely help you fight above your level, and the longer you prepare in advance, the stronger the effect of this soul skill will be."

As soon as Snow Emperor gave the Death God Emissary as an example, Huo Yutong immediately understood.

The Death God Emissary left such a deep impression on her that, although she later managed to defeat him alone, it was only because at that time she had already stayed away from the area with the most corpses, and furthermore, having seen through the principle of Corpse Explosion Technique, she promptly used Domain Freeze on the corpses, which allowed her to easily slay him; otherwise, if the Death God Emissary had used Corpse Explosion Technique against her, she wouldn't even dare say she would definitely win.

Capable of letting an ordinary Soul King whose soul ring configuration isn't even optimal instantly burst forth with output at the Soul Sage level, and even nearly wiping out the current generation of Shrek's Seven Monsters, this shows how formidable the Corpse Explosion Technique skill is; if Ice Burst Technique could be on par with it, then Ice Emperor and the others being so excited would be understandable.

But can she really obtain this soul bone smoothly?

Seeing Ling Luochen beside her with a face full of fervor, Huo Yutong felt uneasy.

This soul bone is indeed very helpful to her, no mistake, but it could also bring Ling Luochen a qualitative leap; this senior female student would never give it up, so how should she speak up to take this soul bone?

As if seeing through her thoughts, Snow Emperor said lightly, "It's fine, you just let her have it first."

"Eh?"

Huo Yutong was stunned.

Just now, weren't they arguing that she should take this soul bone?

Ice Emperor obviously also reacted, she sneered, "Indeed, I was just dazed by the surprise; Huo Yutong, you can just let her have this soul bone, she can't absorb it."

"Why?"

"Because she doesn't possess Ultimate Ice." Snow Emperor took over Ice Emperor's words and explained, "A soul bone with the Ultimate Ice Attribute isn't that easy to absorb; for someone like her, an ordinary ice-element soul master, absorbing this Ice Jade Scorpion left arm bone would only lead to two possibilities: amputation or death."

"……"

Huo Yutong didn't know what to say for a moment.

"Is this thing really that ruthless? It's too overbearing! But at the same time as being surprised, she also breathed a sigh of relief in another sense."

Huo Yutong ignored Ling Luochen's scorching gaze and turned to Qingya, saying, "Qingya Auctioneer, I suggest we pause this auction first; this item has a problem."

Qingya's beautiful brows furrowed slightly.

"Honored guests, this is impossible; every item in our auction house has undergone strict inspection and testing, and there will definitely be no problems."

Huo Yutong said seriously:

"I am quite certain this item has a problem; if you can't decide on this matter, I suggest you directly summon the person in charge."

Qingya looked awkwardly at Wang Yan, but Wang Yan gave a faint smile.

"Qingya Auctioneer, go ahead; I have absolute trust in my student, she never speaks without basis, and if she says this soul bone has a problem, then it definitely does."

Since Wang Yan said that, Qingya couldn't say anything else either; she nodded and said, "Please wait a moment, everyone."

After saying that, she immediately stood up and walked out of the room.

The words of Shrek Academy people she had no authority to refuse; she could only summon the person truly qualified to handle this matter.

Less than a minute later, the voice of Princess Jiujiu sounded again from the big screen.

"Since this auction item is extremely precious, the auction house has decided to extend the viewing time by ten minutes so that honored guests can consider it carefully."

Ling Luochen walked up to Huo Yutong's side and asked in a low voice:

"Huo Yutong, does this soul bone really have a problem?"

Huo Yutong nodded lightly and repeated Snow Emperor's words to Ling Luochen.

After hearing it, Ling Luochen was completely stunned, and only after a while did she helplessly sigh.

"I understand; it seems I have no affinity with this soul bone."

Huo Yutong hurriedly said, "Senior sister, I actually can't be completely certain either; we can buy it back and first let the academy's teachers study it, and if it's really like that, then give it to me."

Ling Luochen gently shook her head, smiling as she rubbed Huo Yutong's little head.

"No need; through this period of interaction, I've roughly understood your personality—you couldn't possibly deceive me on this matter; at worst, after returning to the academy, you can just train together with me a few more times."

Just then, the door opened, and Qingya Auctioneer returned to the room; unexpectedly, accompanying her was none other than the chief auctioneer of the Star Light Auction House, Princess Jiujiu, wearing a red long dress.

Upon seeing her, everyone involuntarily stood up; the princess's status was there, and this being the Star Net Empire, everyone naturally wanted to show the proper respect.

Xu Jiujiu bowed slightly to everyone and then immediately asked anxiously:

"Which honored guest said our Ice Jade Scorpion left arm bone has a problem?"

Huo Yutong stood up and said:

"It's me."

Xu Jiujiu frowned.

"May I ask what the problem is?"

Huo Yutong said solemnly:

"The absorption conditions for this soul bone are extremely stringent; as a soul bone possessing the Ultimate Ice Attribute, to absorb it one must also possess an Ultimate Ice Martial Soul."

Xu Jiujiu exclaimed in surprise:

"This is impossible; according to what you're saying, isn't there no one in the world who can absorb it?"

Huo Yutong said lightly:

"You not knowing doesn't mean it doesn't exist; having high standards doesn't mean no one can absorb it. I'm saying this out of goodwill; I don't want your auction house to suffer reputational damage because of this. Whether you believe it or not is your problem."

"Xu Jiujiu's brows were tightly knit, her fists unconsciously clenched, showing her inner turmoil at the moment."

"She didn't disbelieve Huo Yutong, but this would ruin her original plan and would also bring a huge flaw to this top-tier auction."

"Taking a deep breath, as expected of the chief auctioneer, this princess finally calmed down quickly."

"Thank you for the information; time is tight, I must go handle this immediately. If there is any impropriety, please forgive us, honored guests."

"Having said that, she immediately turned and left, hurrying away."

"By the way, the Ice Burst Technique, in my view, ranks t1 among soul skills, on par with the simulation; it's a simple and brutal divine skill. Xiao Wu's invincible golden body that makes people's brains burst ranks t0. (End of chapter)"
