Douluo Continent: The Evil-Eyed Dragon God, Many Women, Many Blessings

Chapter 141 Old Wang's Earnest Advice
Since the start of the Continental Advanced Soul Master Academy Tournament, the once vast Star Luo City has become incredibly crowded, making it difficult to maintain a steady pace. Especially on the streets near Star Luo Square, large numbers of people queue daily, shoulder to shoulder, creating an exceptionally congested atmosphere as they await the next day's matches.

In the past few days, Wang Yan seemed to have figured out the surrounding terrain. After leading everyone through a crowded section of road, the number of people around them finally decreased.

After walking through a few more streets, Shrek and his friends stopped in front of a building with a pointed roof.

The building was not particularly conspicuous; compared to the surrounding tall buildings, although it was not small in size, it was not particularly prominent. Above the main entrance hung a sign with a hammer image, and below the hammer appeared to be a golden tabletop pattern.

Auction house!
Looking at the logo above, Wang Yan's tone was somewhat complicated: "Children, after watching the competition for a while, I've noticed that this year's All-Continent Advanced Soul Master Academy Battle Tournament is quite different from previous years. The biggest difference is that there are very few pure Soul Master academies now; all academies are developing towards a fusion of Soul Master instructors and Soul Masters."

"You've probably already gotten a glimpse of how much of a role soul tools can play in battle from Yuhao. Moreover, after what happened with the evil soul master, you should also be able to feel how important soul tools are to soul masters."

"Today, I had a special talk with He Caitou and Huo Yuhao, so I can tell you very clearly now that if Ma Xiaotao and the others had each had a level 5 or 6 defensive soul tool when they fought against the evil soul masters, their injuries would have been reduced by at least 60%, and they would never have suffered severe injuries and become disabled like Dai Yueheng!"

Wang Yan took a deep breath and said, "Children, each of you is the pride of the academy, and also the most precious genius of your families and even the continent. However, the fall of a genius is much easier than the cultivation of one. Because even the most talented person needs time to grow, and before they reach their full potential, no one can guarantee that no accidents will happen. But the existence of soul tools can greatly reduce the possibility of accidents!"

"Soul tools are a product of the times, and you are now at a crucial moment of change. Compared with ordinary soul masters, you have already made a considerable gap in terms of the foundation of martial souls. If you can perfectly integrate soul tools with your own strength, then your future will truly be limitless!"

"The reason I brought you all to this auction today is to show you just how popular high-level soul tools are among soul masters, and how much they can enhance a soul master's combat power. If you wish, the academy will also allocate special funds to equip you with suitable soul tools to help you cope with the upcoming competitions."

Hearing Wang Yan's earnest persuasion, everyone recalled the fierce battles they had fought against the evil soul masters, and were all moved, expressing their willingness to go and broaden their horizons. Only Wang Dong'er, for some reason, remained very resistant to soul tools, even ignoring Wang Yan's advice and returning to the hotel alone.

However, to everyone's surprise, given the relationship between Huo Yuhao and Wang Dong'er, he didn't try to persuade Wang Dong'er at all, but simply watched her leave calmly.

Ha, the psychological suggestion that Tang Shenwang planted on her is really strong!

Huo Yuhao shook his head slightly, no longer paying attention to the girl who suffered from the strange condition of "feeling uncomfortable all over when touching a soul tool," and beckoned everyone to walk into the auction house.

From the outside, it appears to be a small auction house, given its seemingly small building area. However, once inside, one discovers a completely different world. The main auction house is underground, and this building is merely its entrance!

Upon entering the auction hall, a five-meter-wide staircase covered with a red carpet leads downwards. Since there is only one path, there are no staff members to guide visitors.

After descending about twenty meters, they finally reached the registration area. Wang Yan had already completed these tedious procedures before bringing everyone there, handing each person a number plate. Then, a young woman in a red dress led them inside.

Passing through an ancient wooden door, the scene suddenly changed. What stretched before them was a dazzling expanse of gold. A wide passageway was resplendent in gold, its luxurious decoration even surpassing that of the Star Emperor Hotel where Huo Yuhao and his companions were staying.

The passageway is over ten meters wide, with the ground paved with precious ivory-white jade bricks. Every ten meters on both sides, there is a pair of pillars of the same material carved with exquisite patterns. The walls on both sides seem to be covered with gold leaf, and the patterns carved on them are complex and gorgeous, seemingly bearing the shadow of court carving art.

At the top of the passageway, magnificent crystal chandeliers hung down, yet there was no sense of oppression, as the passageway was a full five meters high. The light was a soft, bright yellow, and against the backdrop of the golden walls on both sides, the three-dimensional golden world was filled with a rich, decadent atmosphere.

Wang Yan said in a low voice, "Don't be fooled by its unassuming appearance from the outside. This is actually the largest auction house in Xingluo City. Obtaining a bidding spot is extremely difficult. Not only do you need proof of assets, but you also need to undergo an appraisal. Going through normal channels would take at least half a month of review before you could even get in. I was only able to get through these procedures quickly because of Shrek Academy's name. It's a pity that Xiao Tao and the others still need to recover from their injuries. Otherwise, an auction of this caliber would definitely not be missed."

As they spoke, they were led through a large door by the hostess. Clearly, this was not the end of the passageway; there were similar doors ahead, and further down, a staircase led to an unknown destination.

As the hostess led the way, she gave a brief introduction: "Good evening, distinguished guests. Tonight's auction is a special auction for soul tools. Because only soul tools below level six will be auctioned, the scale is relatively low. According to the grading system, it can only be considered a level four auction. Our Starlight Auction House's grading system is from one to five, with level one being the highest. Only level one auctions are held in the main auction hall. This is Hall number twelve, which can accommodate two hundred people to bid at the same time."

Wang Yan nodded slightly and thanked him.

Upon entering Auction Hall No. 12, the light dimmed immediately, as only wall lamps illuminated the surrounding walls. Everyone entering the auction hall received a mask, which came in several colors: white, yellow, purple, black, red, and gold. Huo Yuhao and his group received white masks.
