Chapter 257: Award Ceremony, Dai Hao Makes Trouble!
The Continent-wide Advanced Soul Master Academy Fighting Soul Contest has all ended, and Star Luo City has gradually regained its calm.
Today is the award ceremony of the Fighting Soul Competition of the Advanced Soul Master Academy of the whole continent, and the top three teams of the competition, the Shrek Academy team, the Sun Moon Royal Soul Master Academy team, and the Star Luo Royal Academy team, entered the palace in the imperial city together to accept the personal award from Xu Jiawei, the Star Luo Emperor.
However, the final award ceremony was not open to the public, and in addition to Emperor Xu Jiawei and White Tiger Duke Dai Hao, there were only a few civil and military generals of high status, such as the Prime Minister of the Empire.
The people of Shrek Academy naturally came early in the morning, and on the way they met Ma Lao from the Sun Moon Royal Soul Master Academy. Because Ma Rulong, Xiao Hongchen and several of their students were too depleted, they had been urgently sent back to the Sun and Moon Empire for recuperation, leaving him alone to accept the final award.
In addition to the gold soul coins and a soul bone unique to the runner-up, the rewards given to the runner-up and runner-up are also several high-level soul guides. The Star Luo Empire was not stingy in this regard, and even Ma Lao was very satisfied with the things he took out, which was very useful and commemorative for these participating team members.
In addition to the Golden Soul Coins, the prizes of Shrek Academy also include three soul bones that are more than 40,000 years old. However, because the Ice Scorpion's left arm bone was snatched away by the "Abominable Holy Spirit Sect", the Great Emperor Xu Jiawei also had no way to fulfill his previous promise, which made the young monarch's face show a little embarrassment.
These three top-grade soul bones were personally selected by the Condor Douluo Song Lao from the Royal Treasury of the Star Luo Empire, the Royal Treasury of the Star Luo Empire has been accumulated for 10,000 years, and there are many rare things in it. But these three soul bones are also the most precious ones in this treasure house.
Among them, the first soul bone is also the most precious one, called the nine-colored deer torso bone, which is taken from a six-thousand-year-old xenomorph soul beast nine-colored deer.
The rarity of a soul beast like the nine-colored deer is comparable to that of a beast king-level soul beast like the Titan Giant Ape and the Dark Gold Dreadclaw Bear. And it was born by heaven and earth, carrying a trace of luck in the dark, although it is far less than the emperor Rui beast and other heaven and earth aliens, but it also has a very special meaning for the soul beast settlement.
This nine-colored deer did not come from the Star Dou Great Forest, but thousands of years ago, when the royal family of the Star Luo Empire entered a large soul beast forest to hunt the 100,000-year-old Beast King, they were killed together with the 100,000-year-old Beast King.
According to the royal classics of the Star Luo Empire, with the assistance of this nine-colored deer, the 100,000-year-old beast king almost broke through the first heavenly tribulation and was promoted to the fierce beast level.
The nine-colored deer's natural ability is very powerful, and it can apply a layer of defense to itself or its companions that exceeds its own cultivation limit by several times more, and as long as the shield is not broken, it will turn all the damage absorbed into nine-colored divine light after a period of time and release it for killing and injuring enemies.
And because Huo Yuhao didn't ask for any reward, as compensation, Song Lao picked out this soul bone and gave Ning Tian, who had the best relationship with Huo Yuhao, which could be regarded as a means to get closer to Huo Yuhao.
The other two pieces were a soul bone of a tiger soul beast and a soul bone of an ice soul beast, and these two soul bones were given to Dai Keyheng and Ling Luochen, two inner court disciples, respectively.
Although several other members of the Shrek Academy team had some regrets, they didn't complain too much. After all, they were still young and had the opportunity to represent Shrek Academy in the next Fighting Soul Competition, and for the two Inner Courtyard disciples, this was already the last competition they could participate in.
The value of the three soul bones can no longer be completely measured by money, and Xu Jiawei felt very painful to take out these three soul bones because of the Starlight Auction House, but there was no way.
The reason why the Fighting Soul Competition of the Advanced Soul Master Academy of the whole continent has to change the host country every year is also related to the pressure of this reward. You must know that the top four are all rewarded, but the soul bone reward is only three for the champion and one for the runner-up.
Soul bones are dead things, and they can only play their due role if they are absorbed by the soul master. Therefore, whether it is the country or the sect, after obtaining the appropriate soul bones, almost all of them are directly used by outstanding talents in the lineage.
The biggest difference between the soul bone and the soul ring is that once the soul master dies, the soul bone will still remain, and it will not disappear like the soul ring, so the number of soul bones in the soul master world is still not low.
However, it has been tens of thousands of years since the birth of the soul master profession, and although the soul bones have been accumulated, they are still far from enough compared to the base of the soul master.
And more importantly, with the research of soul bones in the soul master world, the method of synthesizing soul bones has gradually been developed, which makes soul bones more sought-after.
If it weren't for the rapid development of the soul guide, if there was no collision between the Sun and Moon Continent and the Douluo Continent, I am afraid that the most high-end research in the Douluo Continent now would be the soul bone synthesis technology.
The so-called soul bone synthesis is to use several soul bones that are related to each other to synthesize them together in a special way to become a brand new soul bone.
The combined soul bone has a high chance of increasing its power, but it also has a nearly half chance of being broken. And because soul bones are too precious, although the synthesis method is now available, there are very few people who really dare to try.
For example, when Huo Yuhao fused the Ice Emperor's torso bone, with the help of that ice soul bone, it was already a synthesis in itself. And after that, he fused the torso soul bone of the Ice and Snow Second Emperor into a soul bone, making it a quasi-god-level soul bone.
It's just that because these few absorptions are under the direct control of the original owner, coupled with the suppression of the alien fire attribute and the help of Yao Lao and Yi Lao, there is no possibility of synthesis failure at all.
"Huo Yuhao, I promised to give you the left arm bone of the Ice Scorpion in the Starlight Auction House after winning the championship at Shrek Academy, but I never came up with such a thing." Xu Jiawei summoned Huo Yuhao to the dragon chair and said to him in a deep voice.
"I am the king of a country, and I am unspeakable and untrustworthy. But I don't know when that Ice Scorpion Soul Bone will be recovered, so I'll give you some corresponding compensation. ”
Xu Jiawei took out a golden token and handed it to Huo Yuhao's hand, and then said: "This Star Luo Order represents a promise of mine, in my lifetime, as long as you show this token, the Star Luo Empire will do its best to help you, but only once." ”
"Even if you want to go deep into the Star Dou Great Forest and hunt for a hundred thousand year soul rings, I will send a royal offering to help you."
Hearing Xu Jiawei's words, even the Divine Eagle Douluo Song Lao showed a look of surprise. It is really surprising that Xu Jiawei was able to do this in order to win over Huo Yuhao.
After the award ceremony was completed, the three academies were going to bid farewell to Emperor Xu Jiawei and leave the Star Luo Palace. However, at this time, Dai Hao, who had been silent by Xu Jiawei's side, suddenly spoke.
"Your Majesty, since all the official affairs have been completed, let the ministers deal with the family affairs of my White Tiger Duke Mansion."
"Huo Yuhao, you are rebellious and murderous, you don't deserve to have the blood of the White Tiger, and you won't be arrested before you tie your hands!"
