Douluo Dalu: Seven Kills

Chapter 148 Starlight Auction Begins

The next day.

The battle last night gave ordinary people in Xingluo City a lot to talk about. As for the crisis at that time... it had long been forgotten. This also led to people coming from nowhere to pour into Xingluo City today, causing a huge increase in the flow of people.

But for the big forces, it is different.

At least as for the Nine Treasures Glazed Sect, Ning Bowen, Ye Xuanji and others who arrived at the Nine Treasures Pavilion in Xingluo City early this morning called Chen Junting and the others, especially giving instructions to Huo Yuhao. The meaning was to pay attention to the Body Sect.

But there's no need to worry, just proceed as usual.

Then Ning Bowen and the others sent Huo Yuhao and the others away, leaving only Chen Junting and Ning Tian. Before he could say anything, Ning Bowen handed a golden card with the Nine Treasures Glazed Tower printed on it to Chen Junting, motioning him to take it.

"There are 500 million gold soul coins in here."

Five hundred million! ?
Such a huge sum of money, let alone Chen Junting.

Even Ning Tian's eyes showed horror.

Because this number is really too exaggerated.

Ning Bowen stuffed the gold card into Chen Junting's hand, a smile appeared on his lips, and he said generously: "I already know about the matter of the 100,000-year soul beast embryo. For others, it may still need to be considered, but for us in the Nine Treasures Glazed Tile Sect, using a bunch of numbers to exchange for a treasure is a very cost-effective deal."

At this time, Ye Xuanji also took over the conversation.

There was confidence in his tone.

"Regarding the funds represented by this card, the sect has already mobilized them. You will be able to pay them in time before tonight. So don't feel burdened at the auction tonight. Buy whatever you like. As long as it is useful, we will spend money on it."

"Got it!"

Chen Junting's face at this moment was full of surprise.

He wants to see who can resist the offensive of money!
But before that, he had to find a way to prevent the Xingluo Empire from being unethical and having to buy it back with his own money.

But soon, Chen Junting had an idea.

……

At dusk, in the conference room of Xinghuang Hotel.

Since tomorrow is the knockout round of 16 to 8, Shrek and his crew gathered together to discuss tactics.

However, when Chen Junting arrived with Huo Yuhao and the other three, everyone in the conference room focused their attention on them. All of them were filled with worry.

"Are you guys okay?" Everyone, led by Ma Xiaotao, asked, "We know that the leader of the Body Sect was heading for your Nine Treasures Pavilion."

"What can happen?"

Chen Junting waved his hands, showing that he didn't care. "With our strength, we can't intervene at all. So all situations were blocked by the sect master and the supreme elders."

"You better be careful."

A solemn expression appeared on Dai Yuheng's face.

"I heard my father mention the Body Sect. If they set their sights on Junior Brother Yuhao, they will never give up."

After learning that her juniors were all fine, Ma Xiaotao's worries disappeared. Facing Dai Yuheng's reminder, she snorted coldly, "Humph! So what if they won't let it go."

"After the game, we will go to Shrek Academy. I don't believe that the people from the Body Sect dare to break into the academy and take people away."

After these words were spoken, everyone fell silent.

Obviously, they acquiesced to Ma Xiaotao's words. After all, Shrek Academy was the number one force on the continent, and they also didn't believe that the Body Sect had the courage to force its way in.

Only Chen Junting had a strange look on his face.

In the original novel, the guy who couldn't be killed by poison was really brave. I just don't know if he will bring people to break into Shrek this time.

"Alright." Seeing that everyone was about to digress from today's main topic, Wang Yan clapped his hands in time and said in a gentle tone: "Everyone, don't forget the purpose of our gathering here today. Our opponent tomorrow will not be simple at all. You must take it seriously."

The three words "not simple" instantly attracted the attention of Ma Xiaotao and Dai Yuheng. In the previous match at Changning College, they only fought once, but they still hadn't had enough!

"Teacher Wang, who will our next opponent be?"

Wang Yan didn't keep anyone in suspense and spoke frankly.

"It's the Douling Royal Soul Master Academy."

"Douling Royal Soul Master Academy? Their luck is so bad this time." Upon hearing this was the opponent, Dai Yuheng couldn't help but make fun of him. Even Chen Zifeng and the others showed an inexplicable smile.

Realizing what made people laugh, Wang Yan couldn't help but smile. Only Ma Xiaotao and a few people from the outer courtyard seemed a little puzzled.

"What are you talking about?" The hot-tempered Ma Xiaotao couldn't hold back and slammed the table. "Tell me what happened to the Douling Royal Soul Master Academy?"

Dai Yuheng's smile instantly faded, and after frowning, he said, "Didn't you pay attention to the last competition?"

Ma Xiaotao felt justified in this regard.

"Nonsense! Otherwise why would I ask you?"

Realizing that the two might end up arguing, Wang Yan waved his hand, as if to appease them. "It's nothing."

"It's just because the Douling Royal Soul Master Academy made it to the top four in the last Douling Soul Competition. And this time, they also have five Soul Kings, which is even more than the last time."

"But this time..."

He didn't continue talking, just shook his head slightly.

But everyone understood what Wang Yan meant.

Indeed, Douling Royal Soul Master Academy had a hope of winning the third place in this session, but was blocked by Shrek in the round of 16. It was really bad luck for them.

Then, everyone started talking about how to deal with the tactics of the Douling Royal Soul Master Academy and the team arrangements. After all, although they were strong, the people of the Douling Royal Soul Master Academy were not weak either, so it was better to be cautious.

And from now on, students from the outer courtyards will basically not be able to play. After all, the gap in strength between the two sides is a bit too big.

"Okay, don't lose heart. The Fighting Spirit Competition in five years will be the stage for you guys. Besides, didn't each of you go on the field and fight in the previous competition? This can be considered an experience, and it's exciting."

Just then, "Bang, bang, bang—"

Suddenly, there was a knock on the door of the conference room.

Chen Junting was suddenly shocked.

Xuedi embryo, here I come!

However, compared to the excitement in Chen Junting's eyes and Ning Tian's excitement, Wang Yan's smile instantly withered. After frowning, he said with a hint of severity, "Didn't I specifically tell the service staff not to disturb us during this period?"

A pleasant female voice came from outside the door, "Sorry to bother you, I'm not a service staff, I'm from the Starlight Auction House."

Starlight Auction House?
Wang Yan couldn't help but be stunned for a moment, as if he was thinking.

Chen Junting, who was closest to him, spoke up at the right time to explain, "Xingguang Auction House is a top-level auction house. The Xingguang Auction held by it and the Nine Treasures Auction held by the Nine Treasures Pavilion are both top-level auctions, and there is no shortage of rare materials and treasures and top-level soul guides."

Hearing this, Wang Yan felt slightly relieved.

Then he gave a look to Beibei who was closest to the door.

When the door opened, a woman in a black long dress, who looked mature and charming yet youthful, stood outside the door with a smile on her face that was neither distant nor approachable.

The woman's eyes were fixed directly on Wang Yan, who was sitting in the main seat. After slightly bowing to him and the Shrek people, she said, "I am sorry to bother you all. I am Qingya, the auctioneer of the Starlight Auction House. I have come to the Shrek guests today to invite you to participate in our Starlight Auction."

As he spoke, he took out 17 gold-stamped invitations from his storage soul guide ring, bent down slightly, and handed them over respectfully.

"I hope you will show me the honor."

Wang Yan took the invitation with a smile and pretended to flip through it. In his mind, he had already made up his mind when Chen Junting introduced the auction. So he said, "We will go."

Seeing that Team Leader Shrek agreed, Qingya smiled even more.

"Then I won't bother you any more. I'm waiting for you at the Starlight Auction House. Sorry again." After saying that, he backed out of the meeting room and gently closed the door.

When Qingya was almost gone, Wang Yan took out one of the invitations and handed the remaining invitations to Beibei. After asking him to distribute them, he looked at Chen Junting and Ning Tian, ​​two people who might know some inside information, and said, "Do you know the origin of this Xingguang Auction House? They were able to deliver invitations to the hotel."

"Teacher Wang Yan, this is a top auction."

Chen Junting glanced at the invitation, put it away, and said casually: "There are only six forces that have the financial resources and ability to hold a top auction. In addition to our Nine Treasures Glazed Tile Sect and Shrek Academy, there are only the four major empires left."

“It turns out there is royal support.”

Everyone suddenly understood!

What made Chen Junting speechless was that it was fine if other people didn't know about it, but Dai Yueheng, the eldest son of the Duke of White Tiger, the local tyrant of Xingluo City, didn't even know about this?

This isn't top secret.

"Then Teacher Wang Yan, our auction..."

Seeing everyone's curiosity and hope, Wang Yan couldn't help but smile helplessly. "Do I look like someone who can only say polite words?"

"Long live Teacher Wang Yan!" ×N
