Chapter 70 Devouring the Evil Qi
Huo Yuhao opened his mouth, but ultimately sighed helplessly. He wanted to compete, but he was short of money, and the other party's bidding was so aggressive that he simply couldn't keep up. He could only watch helplessly...
"Two hundred thousand gold soul coins per attempt!"
"Two hundred thousand gold soul coins twice!"
"Two hundred thousand gold soul coins three times!"
"Sold! Congratulations to this gentleman for successfully acquiring the Listed Carving Blade Soul Eater!"
The auction gavel fell, and the Soul-Devouring Carving Knife belonged to Ling Ya.
Dai Youheng sat not far away, a barely perceptible smile curving his lips.
Everything went smoothly. Fortunately, Wang Dong, that rich girl, didn't attend the auction because she disliked soul tools. Otherwise, given her personality and her protectiveness towards Huo Yuhao, if she had helped him bid, it might have caused some complications and cost a lot more money.
The Gold of Life is finally in my hands!
After the auction, Dai Youheng did not return to the White Tiger Duke's Mansion, which symbolized restraint and indifference, but instead found a quiet and clean little hotel in the city to stay in.
For him, the vast world outside was far more comfortable than the unfamiliar mansion.
The door closed, shutting out the outside noise. Dai Youheng sat down on the sofa, tapping her fingertips lightly on the armrest, and softly called out, "Ling Ya."
Before he finished speaking, the shadows in the room seemed to ripple slightly, and Ling Ya's figure appeared silently like a ghost. He knelt on one knee and respectfully presented the ancient carving knife with both hands. "Greetings, Young Master! Young Master, the Soul-Devouring Carving Knife is here. Please accept it."
"Hmm!" Dai Youheng took the carving knife, his fingertips touching the cold blade, and he could faintly feel the obscure energy contained within it and a trace of barely perceptible resistance.
He put the carving knife aside, looked at Ling Ya, and asked, "You also watched the match between Shrek Academy and Yunluo Academy today. What are your thoughts? Although the captain of Yunluo Academy's cultivation level wasn't top-notch, his soul-guided artillery tactics were quite impressive."
Ling Ya pondered for a moment before replying, "Young Master, you are wise. The Soul Guidance Artillery Turret combat method is indeed a representative of our Soul Guidance system's pursuit of ultimate firepower, with astonishing instantaneous burst power. However, its drawbacks are also extremely obvious: it lacks mobility to the extreme. Once it is engaged in close combat or trapped in complex terrain, it will become extremely passive. This is not the combat style that I pursue."
"Oh?" Dai Youheng raised an eyebrow, a hint of interest in his expression. "So, what path have you planned for yourself?"
Ling Ya raised his head, his eyes flashing with a clear and firm light. "High-altitude strikes, supplemented by ice seals. This is the path I have long determined, combining the flight advantages and ice attribute characteristics of my Ice Feather Eagle Martial Soul. Controlling the battle from high above and sealing powerful enemies with ice is the posture a Soul Master should have in my heart."
What he craves is control and suppression; he needs mobility, not a cumbersome fortress.
"High-altitude strikes, freezing seals, a good direction." Dai Youheng nodded in agreement. "Sealing-type soul tools are recorded extensively in the ninth-level soul master's manuscript I gave you. If I'm not mistaken, the soul master who created that manuscript back then likely focused on this area."
He paused, then flipped his hand, revealing a uniquely shaped metal platform that emitted faint spatial fluctuations and a powerful sealing aura. It was the God-Sealing Platform he had obtained from the unlucky level nine Soul Master!
"This level-nine soul tool, the 'Consecration Platform,' is very likely one of his masterpieces. Take it and study its core magic array and sealing principles carefully; it should be of great benefit to you."
"A level nine soul tool! A God-Sealing Platform?" Ling Ya's pupils shrank, his breathing became rapid, and his hands trembled slightly as he accepted the metal platform containing endless mysteries.
If he could even glean a fraction of this knowledge, it would be an unimaginable boost to his path as a Soul Master! "Thank you for your generous gift, Young Master. I will do my utmost to live up to your expectations!"
Dai Youheng nodded slightly and continued, "As for high-altitude soul tools, as far as I know, the person who has studied this field most deeply in the world today is none other than Ye Yulin, the Starry Sky Douluo of the Sun Moon Empire. His Sun Moon Divine Needle is the ultimate embodiment of high-altitude soul tools. It's a pity that I don't know if he has any written notes or insights that have been passed down to the world. If there is an opportunity in the future, I will definitely find them for you to study."
Upon hearing this, Ling Ya was about to express his gratitude.
He waved his hand, indicating that Ling Ya didn't need to be so polite, and then gave another instruction, "Alright, we'll talk about that later. There's one more thing. In a few days, the Starlight Auction House will be holding a larger-scale, top-tier auction. At that time, an eighth-level melee soul tool, the 'Tyrant Tiger Soul Refining Blade,' will be auctioned. Although it is an eighth-level soul tool, its design is ingenious. It is not only soul tool masters who can drive it; any soul master can wield it and unleash its power. It can be considered a top-quality item without level restrictions."
A sharp glint flashed in Dai Youheng's eyes. "My martial spirit is also of the tiger type, and this sword is quite compatible with me. The estimated price is between one hundred and two million gold soul coins, which we currently have enough funds to acquire. I'll leave this matter to you."
"Yes! Your subordinate will definitely retrieve this sword for the young master!" Ling Ya accepted the order without hesitation.
After giving all the instructions, Ling Ya once again disappeared quietly, as if blending into the shadows, carrying out orders while also protecting Dai Youheng.
Silence returned to the room. Dai Youheng quickly washed up and then sat cross-legged by the bed. He didn't start cultivating immediately, but instead picked up the Soul-Devouring Carving Knife again.
The carving knife lay quietly in his palm, looking simple and unadorned, even somewhat inconspicuous. However, when he tentatively and slowly infused it with a wisp of soul power...
A cold, violent aura, filled with endless resentment and ferocity, surged forth like an ancient beast suddenly awakening from its slumber, rushing straight towards Dai Youheng's spiritual sea along with that wisp of soul power!
That aura seemed to contain the wails and curses of countless tragic victims, enough to make those with weak wills lose their composure instantly, or even be corrupted and assimilated by it!
However, Dai Youheng's lips curled into a calm, even slightly mocking smile. Instead of using his internal energy to resist, he deliberately relaxed his defenses, allowing the malevolent energy to invade his body.
The "Golden Gang Evil-Repelling Body" he cultivates originates from the word "Evil-Repelling," which in ancient legends refers to an unparalleled demon, an extremely fierce and malevolent being. Ordinary demonic and malevolent energies are like subjects before a king in the face of the Evil-Repelling bloodline; not only can they not cause harm, but they must also bow down and submit, or become the most nourishing sustenance!
When this technique is cultivated to a high level, one needs to absorb and refine all kinds of malevolent energy in the world to temper oneself and forge an unparalleled Golden Qi Battle Body!
The malevolent energy accumulated within this Soul-Devouring Carving Blade over thousands of years is a deadly poison to others, but to him, it is a highly nourishing medicine!
