From Battle Through the Heavens Simulation to The Great Ruler

[Damn! Could it be that Third Brother offended someone from Canaan Academy while he was adventuring in the Black Corner Region?]

Faced with the menacing gazes of Hu Qian and the others, Xiao Yan mentally ranted for a while before finally replying somewhat nervously, "He is my brother, and we are twins."

160.

It's not that Xiao Yan didn't want to hide his relationship with Xiao Feng, but rather that it was simply impossible to keep it a secret.

Because of Xiao Yu's enthusiastic invitation, Instructor Ruolin and the others stayed at the Xiao family's villa during the days they were recruiting students in Wutan City. Therefore, the fact that Xiao Yan and Xiao Feng are twins is no secret.

"really!"

After getting the answer he wanted from Xiao Yan, Hu Qian said matter-of-factly, "A peerless genius like Elder Xiao Feng must have a twin brother with exceptional talent in cultivation."

"Elder Xiao Feng?"

Upon hearing this, Instructor Ruolin couldn't help but ask curiously, "Vice Dean, could it be that Xiao Yan's brother has really become a Dou Wang?"

"Battle King? Of course not!"

Before Instructor Ruolin could even breathe a sigh of relief, Hu Qian continued, "Elder Xiao Feng is a Dou Huang, a sixteen-year-old Dou Huang! Even in the Central Continent, he would probably be considered one of the top geniuses."

"A...Battle Emperor?!"

Instructor Ruolin's beautiful eyes widened suddenly, her red lips parted slightly, and her pretty face was full of disbelief.

[I never imagined Brother Feng was already a Dou Huang! This is amazing!]

Upon hearing this, a glint of light flashed in Xiao Xun'er's eyes, and she unconsciously raised the corners of her mouth.

After all, the higher Xiao Feng’s talent is, the less resistance there will be to his marriage with Xiao Xun’er.

If Xiao Feng can break through to the Dou Zong level before he turns eighteen, he will definitely be among the top in the younger generation of the ancient clan, and the elders of the clan will have no reason to stop their marriage.

[Battle Emperor? Holy crap! Even leveling up by rocket wouldn't be this fast!]

Xiao Yan couldn't help but curse in his heart. Although he knew that Xiao Feng's cultivation speed was fast, he didn't expect it to be this fast!

[A sixteen-year-old Dou Huang? What a complete little monster, what a pity...]

Even the old medicine master residing in the Bone Inflammation Ring couldn't help but sigh, his face full of regret.

If it weren't for Xiao Feng's lack of talent to become an alchemist, Yao Lao would definitely have taken him in as his personal disciple.

During the three years that Yao Lao was testing Xiao Yan, he also witnessed Xiao Feng's performance.

Before Xiao Feng's special physique awakened, although his cultivation talent was not as good as Xiao Yan's, his loyalty and righteousness made Yao Lao very appreciative of him.

Moreover, Xiao Feng was extremely lucky. He found two different kinds of strange fires that ordinary alchemists might never find in their entire lives. He went out to train for less than a year and found two of them.

If Xiao Feng were to cultivate the Burning Technique, he might evolve it into a Heaven-rank technique in just a few years.

Unfortunately, Xiao Feng did not have the talent to become an alchemist and could not inherit the mantle of the old alchemist.

Recovering from her surprise, Xiao Xun'er suddenly remembered something and couldn't help but ask Hu Qian, "Vice Dean, you just called Brother Feng 'Elder Xiao Feng,' does that mean he's also joined Canaan Academy?"

"Not bad, you're quite clever, girl."

Hu Qian smiled and nodded, saying, "Elder Xiao Feng joined our Canaan Academy a few months ago as an honorary elder, but I heard that he has been in seclusion in the Heavenly Flame Refining Tower in the inner courtyard."

If you want to see Elder Xiao Feng, you'd better cultivate diligently and strive to enter the inner courtyard as soon as possible!

Upon learning that Xiao Feng was currently in the inner courtyard, Xiao Xun'er naturally did not want to waste time in the outer courtyard and immediately asked, "Vice Dean, what are the conditions for joining the inner courtyard?"

"Joining the Inner Academy is simple; you just need to make it into the top fifty in the Outer Academy's annual selection competition."

Hu Qian stroked his beard and said, "By the way! In about half a month, this year's inner court selection competition will begin. If you are confident in your abilities, you can also sign up for this selection competition."

With Hu Qian's strength, he could naturally tell that Xiao Yan and Xiao Xun'er were already Dou Shi, so this sentence was clearly meant for them.

Upon hearing this, Xiao Yan and Xiao Xun'er's expressions changed slightly, and they immediately revealed eager expressions.

Xiao Yan and the others were very confident in their strength, and said in unison, "Brother Feng (Third Brother), see you in the inner courtyard in half a month!"

With Xiao Xun'er's talent for cultivation, she is confident that she can break through to the Great Dou Master level within half a month. In addition, with the fighting skills and secret techniques she has mastered, it will not be difficult for her to win the championship of the Inner Academy Selection Tournament.

Although Xiao Yan's cultivation level was a bit weak, with the Azure Lotus Earth Core Flame and the Earth-rank fighting skill passed down to him by Yao Lao, it would still be easy for him to break into the top fifty of the selection competition.

……

more than half a month later

Black Corner Region, Demon Flame City.

After a two-month wait, the annual auction held in Demon Flame Valley has finally begun.

Amidst the awe and admiration of the crowd, many renowned powerhouses from the Black Corner Region entered the Demon Flame Auction House one after another.

"Those are the Mad Lion Gang members? I didn't expect the Mad Lion Gang leader to come in person. He's a ruthless guy ranked seventh on the Blacklist!"

"The Rakshasa Sect has arrived too! Although the sect leader of the Rakshasa Sect is ranked eighth on the Black List, she is the only female Battle Emperor on the Black List. Those who dared to underestimate her have long since died without even a trace of their bones."

"Look over there! Even the Medicine King, ranked third on the Black List, has arrived..."

Seeing the rare sight of Dou Huang powerhouses crowding the entrance of the Demon Flame Auction House, even many Dou Wang powerhouses who were usually arrogant began to keep a low profile.

After queuing for more than half an hour at the entrance, the crowd finally entered the spacious auction hall.

Because there are only two thousand seats in the auction hall, not everyone is eligible to participate in this auction.

According to the rules set by the Demon Flame Auction House, only those with a cultivation level of Great Dou Master or above, or those who can provide proof of assets of one million gold coins, are qualified to participate in this auction.

Although the conditions for participating in the auction were quite strict, the Black Corner Region was full of hidden talents, and the hall was quickly filled with people who came to participate in the auction.

Many latecomers were turned away by the auction house guards and missed the auction.

In addition to the seats in the auction hall, there are dozens of VIP boxes on the second floor.

Guests qualified to enter those VIP boxes are all high-ranking figures from various powerful forces, and at least must be accompanied by a Dou Huang level expert.

"Clap clap clap..."

The lights in the auction hall suddenly went out, making the entire hall dim. Then a beam of light shone on the auction stage in the center of the hall.

A voluptuous woman in a long purple dress and high heels swayed as she walked onto the auction stage.

Chapter 161 The Great Battle Begins (Third Update, Please Vote)

161.

Sensing the powerful aura emanating from the beautiful woman in the purple dress, even the guests in the VIP box couldn't help but show expressions of surprise.

They actually let a peak Dou Wang level expert be the auctioneer?

As expected of an auction held by Demon Flame Valley, what a grand scale!

"I am Ye Ziyi, the manager of the Demon Flame Auction House. Welcome to today's auction."

Ye Ziyi's eyes flickered, and she parted her lips slightly, saying, "I'm sure you're all getting impatient, so I won't bother with those annoying opening remarks. Let's officially begin today's auction!"

"Clap clap clap..."

Upon hearing Ye Ziyi's words, the guests in the hall gave her a round of applause in a show of respect.

"Now, please welcome our first item to the stage."

As Ye Ziyi finished speaking, a beautiful young maid in a light blue cheongsam, carrying a silver-white tray, quickly walked onto the auction stage.

Facing the curious gazes of the crowd, Ye Ziyi pointed to the white jade pill bottle on the tray and introduced it with a smile: "The pills inside are Battle Spirit Pills. I'm sure most of the guests here have heard of the famous Battle Spirit Pills."

This pill is a genuine Rank 6 pill, capable of increasing the cultivation level of a Dou Wang (Battle King) expert by one star without any side effects.

Everyone's expression changed drastically, and their gazes toward the white jade elixir bottle became incredibly fervent.

Especially those powerful individuals at the Dou Wang level had their eyes shining and were ready to bid.

"The starting price for this Battle Spirit Pill is one million gold coins! Each bid must be at least ten thousand gold coins higher. You may now place your bids."

"One million gold coins!"

"One million and a half gold coins!"

"Two million gold coins..."

Amidst the rising and falling bids, the price of the Battle Spirit Pill quickly broke through the three million mark, eventually fetching a high price of three million six hundred and eighty thousand gold coins.

Sitting in VIP room number one, Zi Yan ate the sixth-grade pill that Xiao Feng had refined for her, while swinging her two delicate pink feet and saying, "These guys are really crazy. It's just a Spirit-Boosting Pill, right? Mmm..."

Since Zi Yan is now a one-star Dou Huang, Dou Ling Dan is no longer of any interest to her.

Upon hearing this, Xiao Feng shook his head with amusement and continued to look through the list of VIPs in his hand.

The list in front of me was sent by Ye Ziyi, and it contains detailed information about the guests in the VIP box.

Besides the top ten powerhouses on the Black List, there are several other distinguished guests that Xiao Feng should pay close attention to, such as Elder Eagle Mountain and the Dou Huang powerhouse from the Black Emperor Sect.

Elder Eagle Mountain is a powerful figure of the older generation in the Black Corner Region, whose cultivation has reached the peak of the four-star Dou Zong realm.

Unfortunately, the old man of Eagle Mountain was a lone wolf who did not join any faction and lived a semi-secluded life, so his reputation has faded in recent years.

The Black Emperor Sect is similar to the Demon Flame Valley; both are long-established forces in the Black Corner Region.

However, Mo Tianxing, the sect leader of the Black Emperor Sect, was only a four-star Dou Zong expert, much weaker than the Earth Demon Old Ghost. Therefore, the Black Emperor Sect was inferior to the Demon Flame Valley.

Although Mo Tianxing did not attend the auction, his son Mo Ya did, accompanied by two Douhuang elders.

After reviewing the list of VIPs, Xiao Feng turned his attention to the auction hall and began watching the auction with great interest.

After more than two hours of bidding, the auction came to a perfect end with the successful purchase of the treasured Breakthrough Pill.

Just as the guests in the auction hall began to leave one after another, Xiao Feng's sword-like eyes narrowed slightly as he said, "Zi Yan, make your move!"

"Ok!"

Zi Yan nodded vigorously, then immediately activated the Blood Demon Technique [Spatial Domain] with all her might.

"Shhhhh..."

The VIPs who were waiting in the VIP box to hand over the auction items suddenly vanished into thin air.
