Douluo Continent: The Ruler of Time, Reigning Supreme

Chapter 223 Top VIP
Upon hearing Xiao Hong's words, not only was the girl in the white dress who was leading the way stunned, but even several core disciples who were browsing the goods nearby turned to look at her with horror.

Top-tier VIPs may take any item they wish.

What is this concept?
They had worked here for several years, and the highest rating they had ever seen was that of a VIP, who could enjoy a 20% discount and a credit limit of one million gold soul coins, which was enough for them to brag about to their companions for a long time.

And these two freshmen, who looked only twelve or thirteen years old, actually...

The girl named Xiaohong, no longer caring about the reactions of others, took out an exquisite silk box from under the counter with trembling hands. After opening it, she took out two bright red cards that felt warm to the touch and respectfully handed them over.

Yin Chen took the card; it felt warm to the touch and had an exceptional quality.

He recognized at a glance that this small card was actually made of the extremely rare soul guide material, Crimson Spirit Warm Jade.

The card itself is worth hundreds of gold soul coins.

The card bears the three large characters "Jubaoge" in an antique font, with no other markings.

Xiao Hong's voice became increasingly respectful:
"Sir, your VIP card entitles you to a 40% discount at our store, which is the lowest discount Jubaoge can offer. And madam, your VIP card entitles you to a 30% discount."

Upon hearing this, Yin Chen compared the red cards in his hand with those in Gu Yuena's.

He discovered that, in addition to the three characters "Jubaoge" on his card, there was also an extra thin but extremely eye-catching golden pattern.

Clearly, this is the source of that one-tenth difference between them.

He understood.

Although she couldn't compare to him, Gu Yuena also received the highest level of attention from the academy, and her treatment far exceeded that of ordinary core disciples.

This is only natural.

That's the Silver Dragon Martial Soul, the pinnacle of dragon-type Martial Souls, the master of all elements.

Anyone in Shrek Academy's upper echelons who isn't an idiot could see the immeasurable, terrifying potential behind it.

If we're really going to be serious, Gu Yuena's Silver Dragon Martial Soul is no exaggeration to call it a god-level Martial Soul; its quality far surpasses that of so-called ultimate Martial Souls.

It's just that Gu Yuena usually keeps a low profile, and her achievements in public are far less impressive than his, so she is slightly lower than him in the overall evaluation by the academy's higher-ups.

But Yin Chen knew better than anyone else that the true strength of the Silver Dragon King beside him could not be summarized by a mere soul power level.

Having received the VIP card that represented privilege, Yin Chen and Gu Yuena left the registration area and returned to the treasure area to begin their real treasure hunt.

On the way, they inevitably encountered other people.

In front of a display case not far away, Beibei, Xu Sanshi and Jiang Nannan were gathered together.

Meanwhile, in another direction, Huo Yuhao and Wang Dong were huddled together, discussing something in hushed tones.

They were clearly all there to attend this treasure appreciation event.

When everyone saw Gu Yuena walking gracefully towards Yin Chen, arm in arm with him, their eyes were drawn to her.

Beibei's expression instantly became extremely strange. He looked at Yin Chen, then at the radiant Gu Yuena beside him, opened his mouth as if he wanted to say something, but in the end he stopped himself and just gave a complicated bitter smile.

Xu Sanshi, standing beside him, made no attempt to hide his admiration.

He looked at Yin Chen, exaggeratedly gave him two thumbs up, and mouthed silently, "Awesome, really awesome."

Jiang Nannan merely glanced at it indifferently.

On the other side, Wang Dong, as if he had discovered a new continent, excitedly nudged Huo Yuhao beside him with his elbow, lowered his voice, and said in a smug tone that said, "I knew it!"

"See, I told you they were definitely having an affair." Huo Yuhao's gaze was somewhat fixed.

His gaze fell on Gu Yuena's stunning profile, which held a faint smile, and a pang of bitterness and envy rose in his heart.

Heart of beauty in everyone.

As a classmate of Gu Yuena, how could he not have some unrealistic fantasies, typical of young people, when faced with such a perfect girl who seemed like a celestial being descended from heaven?

He just had a heavier burden on him, which he hadn't shown.

But now, seeing Gu Yuena snuggling so intimately against Yin Chen, the sense of loss still inevitably welled up inside him.

"Hey, stop looking, you're about to lose your mind."

Wang Dong keenly noticed Huo Yuhao's absent-mindedness. An inexplicable sense of irritation rose in his heart, and he reached out and pinched Huo Yuhao's waist hard.

"Hiss—what are you doing?"

Huo Yuhao gasped in pain and came to his senses.

"She's already taken, so there's no point in looking."

Wang Dong puffed out his cheeks and said angrily.

Without a clear goal, both of them slowed down considerably.

As if calming down after her impulsiveness, Gu Yuena released Yin Chen's arm, no longer letting him take advantage of her, which left Yin Chen somewhat regretful.

Their presence itself has become an unmissable sight on the second floor of the Treasure Pavilion.

The man had silver hair and heterochromatic eyes, and was as handsome as a god; the woman had silver hair and purple eyes, and was so beautiful that she seemed otherworldly.

The way the two stood together made all the core disciples around them feel ashamed of themselves.

At this moment, almost everyone's gaze will drift towards them, whether intentionally or unintentionally.

Yin Chen didn't care at all. He looked at the treasures in the crystal display cases with great interest, and occasionally whispered a few words to Gu Yuena.

“Look at this ‘Ten Thousand Years of Sky Blue Stone’. The spatial power contained within it is quite peculiar. If it were used to make a storage soul tool, its capacity would probably be astonishing.”

"Hmm, the material is alright, but there are a lot of impurities."

Gu Yuena glanced at it and commented indifferently.

"And this, the 'True Spark of the Sun,' is actually alive! For a fire-attribute soul master, this is a treasure that can allow their martial soul to evolve a second time."

"It's too young; the medicinal properties have almost dissipated, so it's not very valuable."

Gu Yuena was not interested.

Along the way, they saw many rare treasures that would make even advanced Soul Masters envious.

However, one of them is a transmigrator with a cheat-like ability, and the other is a former god-king and now the ruler of soul beasts. These treasures in the eyes of mortals do seem somewhat inadequate.

Just as Yin Chen was feeling a bit bored and was about to pick something at random and leave with Gu Yuena, a clear, cold voice suddenly rang out in his spiritual sea.

"Yin Chen, thirty meters to your left, there is a very pure fluctuation of ice-attribute energy."

It's Hyotei.
