After monitoring that the Soul-Devouring Blade was about to be auctioned, Xiao Qiang came to the Starlight Auction House.

"The decoration is quite good, but it feels a little worse than the one in the Sun and Moon Empire." Tian Meng said after taking a look in Xiao Qiang's spiritual sea.

"It's a little lacking, but it's still okay. After all, we're here to buy things, not to buy a house, so the decoration doesn't matter."

"That's right."

Soon Xiao Qiang arrived at the VIP seat of the Starlight Auction House and sat down. After a while, Wang Yan also arrived with people from Shrek Academy.

"Hmm? That human is here too." Relying on mental detection, Tian Meng saw a familiar figure in Xiao Qiang's mind.

"Who did you see?" asked Bingdi.

"I saw a human being in the Xingdou Great Forest before. He was with Xiao Qiang at the time. They were both spiritual spirit masters. I don't know what happened at the time, but I actually wanted him to be my host. Obviously, his talent, strength, physical fitness, etc. were all far inferior to Xiao Qiang, but I don't know what happened at the time, I actually liked him more."

"Tian Meng, has your brain been sucked dry by those beasts in the Xingdou Great Forest? His current soul power seems to be around level 17, and his physical fitness..."

Bingdi was shocked. "He is completely trash. Whether it is his soul power, age, physical fitness or anything else, he is definitely inferior to ordinary people. He is almost a complete waste. Even if you and I support him with all our strength, I don't see much hope for him to become a god. How could you hesitate between him and Xiao Qiang?"

As Bingdi spoke, the way he looked at Tianmeng suddenly returned to the way he used to look at a fool.

"Bingbing, don't be angry. I found a better Xiao Qiang. The feeling at that time was really wonderful. I don't know what happened, but fortunately I didn't make the wrong choice."

"Humph, if you dare to make the wrong choice you'll be dead. You want me to die with you by being reborn in the body of such a loser!"

Listening to the quarrel between Tian Meng and Bing Di in his mind, Xiao Qiang drank his milk tea silently without saying a word. He could clearly feel that Huo Yuhao's soul power was only around level 17. Logically speaking, with this level of soul power, he should not be able to study until the second year in Shrek, but Huo Yuhao still came here. It seemed that he encountered some butterfly effect in the middle of the journey, and something happened that Xiao Qiang didn't know about.

However, Xiao Qiang didn't care too much. He had only one goal, which was to get the Soul-Devouring Knife, the finale of this auction.

"Hello, distinguished guests. I am Qingya, the auctioneer for this auction. I will host the next auction. I hope that all distinguished guests will be able to find satisfactory items."

The same auctioneer Qingya appeared as in the original novel, and then the auction officially began. Xiao Qiang had no idea about other soul guides. After all, when it came to soul guides, the high-end ones in Xiao Qiang's hands were much better than those in this auction house. Therefore, he did not say a word from beginning to end, but just silently waited for the Soul-Devouring Knife.

The waiting time was not short, but fortunately it was not long either. The other items were quickly bought by Shrek in large quantities. With the support of Shrek's wealth, Wang Yan was able to buy things successfully until he came across the Soul-Devouring Knife.

After Qingya finished introducing the Soul-Devouring Knife, the scene gradually became quiet. The Soul-Devouring Knife had a very bad reputation, and because of this, it had been in a state of being unsold until it was finally picked up by Huo Yuhao.

However, with Xiao Qiang here this time, it would not be so easy for Huo Yuhao to take advantage of the situation.

When the auctioneer Qingya announced the starting price, Xiao Qiang directly offered a starting price.

With Alex's suggestion, Huo Yuhao knew the benefits of the Soul-Devouring Knife, but without Tianmeng there would be no Ice Emperor. In Shrek's eyes, Huo Yuhao without Tianmeng and Ice Emperor was just a student who would not feel sorry for his death.

The reason why Huo Yuhao was allowed to stay in the academy was because Shrek didn't want Huo Yuhao to go to the Body Sect. In addition, Huo Yuhao earned his own food money from selling grilled fish, which was a hundred benefits and no harm to Shrek. Therefore, Huo Yuhao was able to stay in Shrek.

But Huo Yuhao only stayed in Shrek. Because there was no shared spiritual detection, he did not do very well in the soul guidance department. Although his talent in soul guidance devices was pretty good because of his eye martial soul, it was only good. The level of innate soul power was a flaw without showing absolute talent. There was definitely no allocation of resources, and 100,000 gold soul coins were even more non-existent for Huo Yuhao.

The reason he came here was because Wang Yan wanted to bring him here to see the world and give him a better chance of awakening his martial soul.

"Teacher Wang Yan, can you take a picture of this for me? I feel like it might be related to my awakening of my martial spirit."

After Alex told Huo Yuhao the benefits of the Soul-Devouring Knife and asked him to buy it, Huo Yuhao turned to Wang Yan, the only person he could turn to for help.

More than 100,000 gold soul coins are definitely not a small number, especially for someone like him who only relies on the fixed salary from Shrek Academy. More than 100,000 gold soul coins are almost all of Wang Yan's savings. If he fails, all the cash flow accumulated by Wang Yan will be wasted.

However, thinking that this time it might be possible for Huo Yuhao's spirit to reach a second awakening, Wang Yan gritted his teeth and prepared to place a heavy bet on Huo Yuhao, but...

"One hundred thousand gold soul coins once, one hundred thousand gold soul coins twice, one hundred thousand gold soul coins three times, deal!"

Without waiting for Wang Yan to bid, the auctioneer Qingya quickly counted three times and dropped the hammer, giving Wang Yan no chance to raise the price.

Xiao Qiang didn't breathe a sigh of relief until the elegant auction hammer fell. At the same time, he was once again thankful that his first soul skill could give people psychological hints. Looking at the situation between Huo Yuhao and Wang Yan, it was obvious that Wang Yan was planning to help Huo Yuhao. Although Wang Yan's financial resources were definitely not as good as Xiao Qiang's, the luck of the son of luck would inevitably make this matter complicated. Xiao Qiang had no choice but to use some special means to make the auctioneer drop the auction hammer as soon as possible.

"Teacher Wang Yan..."

Huo Yuhao looked at Wang Yan, who slowly shook his head. "Sorry, Yuhao, I'm too slow."

"No, Teacher Wang Yan, this is not your fault. Shrek has made an exception for me and allowed me to stay. This is already a favor to me. How can I ask for more from the academy? I will always remember that you are willing to help me and repay Shrek."

"You are such a sensible kid, it makes me feel sorry for you."

There is no wrong version in the 1619 book forum!

Xiao Qiang, who had been watching the situation on Huo Yuhao's side, said: "..."

Shrek's favor? It seems that Wang Yan is the one who wants to help you. He only remembers Shrek's favor and not the person who really helped you. Tang San's forces really can't afford to suffer any loss. It's a pity that most of the people who really help Huo Yuhao.

The Soul-Devouring Carving Knife was soon brought to Xiao Qiang. Feeling the dark aura of the Soul-Devouring Carving Knife, even Tian Meng in the sea of ​​​​spirituality couldn't help but feel a chill.

"Xiao Qiang, are you sure this thing can help you live for more than a thousand years? Why do I feel like this thing will shorten your life?"

"It does shorten your lifespan now, but it will be fine after it's purified."

"Purification?" Tian Meng thought for a moment, then shook his head. "No, I really can't do this. As for souls, I have studied wisdom soul rings for tens of thousands of years, and I have a theoretical basis for half a year. It is not difficult to change the thinking of wisdom soul rings, but I don't know anything about purification."

"Don't worry, I don't need your help this time, Brother Tianmeng. I have my own way." Xiao Qiang said slowly. As for the Soul-Devouring Carving Knife, Xiao Qiang had already figured out how to solve it in the absence of Electrolux.

"What is the solution?"

"The solution lies in what Auctioneer Qingya said before. The Soul Devouring Carving Knife is a vicious knife because its first owner was an evil soul master at the Titled Douluo level. A trace of that evil soul master's soul was hidden in this Soul Devouring Carving Knife. Under the guidance of that trace of residual soul, almost every subsequent owner of the carving knife has fallen into the evil soul master's fold."

"A trace of the soul of an evil soul master is still an evil soul master in essence. As long as he is an evil soul master, he will inevitably be suppressed by the angel martial spirit. And I happen to know that there is an angel martial spirit of a five-ring soul king in this competition."

Tian Meng nodded, thinking that he understood Xiao Qiang's idea. "I see, you are planning to ask him to help purify the remaining souls of the evil soul masters here."

Xiao Qiang shook his head. "No, I'm not asking her for help, I want her to join the force I'm going to create in the future. The benefit is that I can let her purify this Soul Devouring Carving Knife that contains the residual soul of a Titled Douluo-level evil soul master."

Tian Meng: “…”

Tian Meng was silent for a long time. He just couldn't figure out when Xiao Qiang became capable of selling people and letting others help him count the money.
