Douluo: Phoenix God Descends, Emperor Flame Burns the Sky

Chapter 59 Tiandou Auction House

"Lin Xiao, stop running around!"

"Get ready to go back!"

Dugu Bo channeled his soul power into his throat, and the sound traveled a great distance and reached Lin Xiao's ears.

Upon hearing this, Lin Xiao, who was originally halfway up the mountain, suddenly burst into flames continuously. His speed was even faster than during previous training, and he rushed up in a few seconds.

Glancing at the direction where Dugu Bo was, Lin Xiao used explosive steps and crossed dozens of meters in just a few blinks of an eye. Soon he arrived in front of Dugu Bo.

The consumption of his soul power was quite large, Lin Xiao supported himself on his knees and took a breath.

"Senior Dugu, let's go."

"No hurry, take your time."

Dugu Bo looked at Lin Xiao and asked about the confusion in his heart.

"What kind of method is this? Can the fire explosion be used like this?"

Lin Xiao said: "Of course."

"The impact of the explosion is much stronger than the thrust generated by your feet hitting the ground."

Dugu Bo wondered:

"But I have never heard of this before. Is it really so easy to develop a self-created soul skill? Doesn't your soul skill have any flaws?"

Lin Xiao's mouth twitched slightly.

"Well, there are flaws, of course."

"It just takes a bit of effort on the shoes."

Dugu Bo looked down upon hearing this, only to see that Lin Xiao's originally white feet were now covered in dust, his shoes were long gone, and his trouser legs were torn to pieces.

Two toes were curled up, which looked quite funny.

Dugu Bo laughed out loud.

"Hahaha, what's the name of your self-created soul skill? If you haven't thought of one yet, I have a good idea for you. How about calling it 'Exploding Shoes and Light Footsteps'?"

Lin Xiao's face darkened, and he gritted his teeth and said:
"I've already picked a name for it. It's 'Explosive Step'!"

Humph, can what scholars do be called stealing?
This is called stealing!

The name of Xiao Huohuo's fighting skills has been used!

Dugu Bo muttered:

"Explosive Step, this name is quite appropriate."

"Let's go to the Tiandou Auction. Have you ever been there?"

"Never been."

"Haha, then I'll take you to see the world!"

Dugu Bo seized the opportunity and finally pretended in front of Lin Xiao, and immediately felt refreshed.

Lin Xiao went to the stream to wash his feet, changed into a pair of shoes, and then went to Tiandou City with Dugu Bo.

Just to hurry on the journey, Dugu Bo carried him like a chicken the whole time, which looked a bit embarrassing.

……

Tiandou Auction House.

Every inch of land in Tiandou City is valuable, and the Tiandou Auction House is located in the core area, occupying a huge area of land.

Naturally, the profits involved are beyond ordinary people's imagination.

Lin Xiao originally thought that Dugu Bo would take him to the auction house to bid, but he did not expect that Dugu Bo would actually show him a black and gold card, and then he had a smooth journey all the way to the backstage of the Tiandou Auction House.

The person in charge was already waiting for him.

After seeing Dugu Bo, the middle-aged person in charge stepped forward quickly, called the two young assistants behind him to bring a box forward, and then said respectfully:
"Your Majesty, this is what you wanted."

Dugu Bo nodded. He opened the box and found a crystal cover inside. Inside was a small scorpion with an emerald-colored body, lying motionless in the glass cover.

Dugu Bo took a few glances, confirmed that it was correct, took out his black gold card, and swiped the money to pay the bill.

Lin Xiao followed silently without saying a word.

"Thanks."

Dugu Bo said calmly.

But the tone was very cold and condescending, and it didn't sound like he was truly grateful.

However, the middle-aged person in charge did not mind at all. Instead, he was obviously relieved and smiled, but said respectfully:
"I dare not. This is what I should do."

"Your Majesty, Douluo Poison, are you going to participate in today's auction?"

Dugu Bo was about to say no, but when he glanced at Lin Xiao beside him, he nodded and said, "Arrange it for me."

The middle-aged person in charge called the two assistants behind him and took Dugu Bo and Lin Xiao to the VIP box.

Lin Xiao: “…”

From beginning to end, Dugu Bo hardly said a word, but the middle-aged person in charge took the initiative to arrange everything.

The middle-aged person in charge licked him wholeheartedly, and Dugu Bo was licked to his satisfaction. Both of them thought it was a matter of course.
Logically speaking, the person in charge of such a large auction should have a high status, but he serves Dugu Bo like a servant.

Lin Xiao couldn't help but look a little dazed.

His understanding of the world has become deeper.

This is a world with an extremely strict hierarchy and full of class barriers. Logically speaking, an orphan like him should feel inferior or even fearful from the very beginning when facing top figures like Ye Qingxian and Dugu Bo. However, because of the education he received in his previous life, his spine was very straight and he did not have that feeling at the time.

Until today, when I followed Dugu Bo out and saw one of the persons in charge of the Tiandou Auction House, he actually tried to please Dugu Bo in such a natural way, as if it was a basic law of the universe.

Lin Xiao was reminded again:
This is a fantasy world after all, where the big fish eat the small fish and the strong prevail. Even now that Lin Xiao is a great soul master, he has the capital to bully men and women. For ordinary people, he is someone they absolutely cannot afford to provoke.

In this world, ordinary people live cautiously under the shadow of soul masters; and soul masters live in servility under the shadow of stronger soul masters.

Can one person really change the world?

No matter what, you have to do your best first.

Dugu Bo and Lin Xiao were led by the service staff to a luxurious box. All the furniture in the box was made of top-quality materials. There was a faint fragrance in the air. I don't know what was sprayed, but it smelled quite good.

After a while, two slim female commentators came in.

The main role is to play with others and serve them. If the guests in the box like, of course the female commentator can also do things that are not suitable for children.

The female commentators in the top VIP rooms are all virgins.

If they are favored by distinguished guests, the auction house will give them rewards. Of course, under normal circumstances, after being favored by distinguished guests, these female commentators will have enough money to live a worry-free life in this life, and they will not look down on the little money given by the auction house.

A little bit of oil between the fingernails of a superior person.

It is the dream that the lower class people pursue throughout their lives.

The disparity of the world is vividly displayed.

Dugu Bo noticed that Lin Xiao suddenly became silent. After a little thought, he waved his hand and asked the two pretty female commentators to leave.

"Lin Xiao, do you feel a little uncomfortable?"

"Hey, let me tell you, you haven't seen enough!"

"Who among those noble lords doesn't have a few well-trained female slaves under his command? They have to have someone catch their spit and pee in their mouths. There are more darkness and cruelty in the invisible places!"

"I should take you to see the world more often in the future. If you don't know how bad this world is, how can you know how good this world is and how lovely the people around you are?"

Lin Xiao remained silent.

After a while, he bowed to Dugu Bo.

"Senior Dugu, I am grateful for your advice."
