Douluo Continent: Starting with a Void Treasure Trove

"The game is over, Grandpa."

"Should I bring that girl over first?"

"Hmm? Ah Yang, do you have any ideas?"

Kong Deming was still pondering how to approach Zhang Lexuan, but couldn't come up with a good idea. A student like Zhang Lexuan was definitely under Xuanzi's watchful eye.

Although Kong Deming could disregard Xuanzi and kidnap Zhang Lexuan directly, he did not want to use force unless absolutely necessary.

On the one hand, it would provoke those muscle-bound lunatics at Shrek Academy, and on the other hand, it would leave a bad impression on Zhang Lexuan.

She was already heavily brainwashed by Shrek, and this will make her even more irredeemable.

"I can just go to their hotel and arrange to meet them, using the identity I had when I was competing. I believe that although they will be very unhappy with me, they won't be able to take action directly in public."

"There must be some people with brains at Shrek Academy, otherwise, if everyone were like Xuanzi..."

Kong Deming carefully considered what Xu Yang had just said, and then said:

"Okay, but I will secretly protect you in case anything unexpected happens."

"Let's go then!"

"Hey, what are the three of us going to do?"

When Di Ni'er saw that Xu Yang had arranged the tasks for himself and Kong Deming, leaving her, Gu Yuena, and Di Tian, ​​who were all unfamiliar with the place, to stay there, she became unhappy.

"You guys... whatever you want. Anyway, Tiandou City is so big, you're bound to find something fun to do."

"If I remember correctly, the Nine Treasure Glazed Tile School is going to hold a large auction after this competition. If you're really bored, you can go check it out."

"With the hype surrounding this Soul Master Competition, there should be quite a few people going to join in the fun. The Nine Treasure Glazed Tile School is also the most business-savvy sect in the entire Douluo Continent, so you're sure to see some things that will interest you."

"If you don't have enough money," Xu Yang tossed out a storage soul tool, "here are fifty million gold soul coins, that should be enough for you."

Di Ni'er caught the soul tool that Xu Yang threw to her and looked at Gu Yuena and Di Tian.

"Di Tian, ​​my sister, let's go take a look. I've never seen what an auction in the human world looks like before."

"Please...?"

Di Ni'er even winked and acted coquettishly towards Gu Yuena.

As long as Gu Yuena nods, then Di Tian's attitude doesn't matter.

"Okay... but you need to hurry, don't wait until all of us have finished our auction before yours is over."

Gu Yuena accepted Xu Yang's arrangement.

Anyway, there's no rush to build the spatial passage. Once we get to Mingdu and confirm the location, we can start construction immediately.

"Then it's decided. See you at the auction house." Xu Yang put on the mask made by the Thousand-Faced Illusion Demon again, transforming into Kong Qing's face.

"Grandpa, let's go."

……

Meanwhile, at the hotel where the Shrek Academy students were staying.

The Shrek team didn't leave immediately after winning the championship because there were still some other things to take care of.

They also wanted to participate in the auction held by the Nine Treasure Glazed Tile School. Even though Shrek Academy itself had an extraordinary foundation, the auction held by the Nine Treasure Glazed Tile School was second to none even in the entire continent.

As a reward for winning the championship, Shrek Academy granted each of them special permission to select one treasure from the auction that would benefit their cultivation, with the academy covering the cost.

This is also a good way to win over talented people from ordinary backgrounds.

At this moment, the Shrek students are excitedly discussing what they should buy next.

"Sister Lexuan, what do you think I should buy?"

Ma Xiaotao snuggled up to Zhang Lexuan and asked affectionately.

"I suggest you buy something that can suppress the evil fire in your body, such as the Thousand-Year Mystic Ice Marrow."

"Or some rare and precious materials with ice attributes would also work, since your cultivation speed has already slowed down considerably. Dean Yan has been constantly reminding you to watch out for the evil fire within your body, hasn't he?"

"Oh... then I'll listen to Sister Lexuan and pay more attention to ice-attribute natural treasures."

"And what about you, Sister Lexuan? You've done a great service this time. I'm sure the academy would be willing to bid for a 100,000-year-old soul bone for you."

Ma Xiaotao looked at Zhang Lexuan, her mind filled with fantasies.

Zhang Lexuan smiled and pinched Ma Xiaotao's cheek.

"Silly girl, let's not even talk about whether a priceless treasure like a 100,000-year-old soul bone will appear at this auction. Even if it does, the academy will probably have to think twice about the price."

"Besides, the compatibility of a 100,000-year soul bone also depends on its affinity. For example, if you were to fuse with a 100,000-year soul bone with ice attributes, wouldn't that be completely harming you?"

"But as for myself, I don't need anything. After all, if it weren't for the academy, I probably wouldn't have been able to..."

Zhang Lexuan paused at this point, clearly referring to something that made her sad.

"Well, Sister Lexuan, you can't just leave without doing anything. How about this, I'll secretly talk to my master and ask him to do it for you..."

"You...you..."

Zhang Lexuan smiled and shook her head, not saying anything more.

As for Huyan Cang, he had been hiding in a corner. Ever since his battle with Xu Yang, he had become taciturn.

He began to instinctively avoid the girl after she got close.

However, the auction gave him another glimmer of hope; what if there was something at the auction that could help him regain his former glory...?

Therefore, he is even more eager for the auction to start than Ma Xiaotao is.

At this moment, Xu Yang, using Kong Qing's appearance, also arrived outside the Shrek Academy's lounge.

He didn't find any trace of Xuanzi or the teacher leading the team from Shrek Academy, nor did he know where that unreliable member of the Holy Spirit Cult had gone. However, this suited Xu Yang's wishes perfectly, saving him a lot of unnecessary trouble.

Xu Yang knocked on the door. Ma Xiaotao, who was inside, assumed it was her instructor returning from checking on the auction and said directly:

"The door isn't closed, teacher, just push it open and come in."

Xu Yang pushed open the door, and the Shrek Academy students' first reaction upon seeing him enter was to defend themselves.

The shadow Xu Yang left on them was too deep; the crushing battle made them unable to even muster the will to resist.

Of all the players present who had participated in the competition, only Ma Xiaotao took the initiative to step forward.

And he deliberately provoked:

"Kong Qing, what brings you here?"

"And why didn't you play in the last match? Were you afraid of our senior sister?"

"Besides, you pretentious bastard, you don't even dare to show your spirit rings. Did you secretly take some forbidden drug that temporarily boosts your strength and are afraid of being exposed...?"

"But judging from your appearance, you'll probably represent the Sun Moon Empire in the next competition."

"In that case, just wait and see. I will definitely defeat you in the next Soul Master Competition."
