Douluo Continent: Starting with a Heavenly Fire Judgment

Chapter 95 Invitation

After Ji Lin passed the assessment, Cao Jinxuan also perfectly demonstrated his control skills and passed the assessment.

Xie Huanyue from Class Two also passed the test with her powerful defense.

After the class leaders of both classes passed the assessment, the other trainees were inspired and took the test one after another. Most of them passed the test, and only a few were eliminated due to poor performance.

It's worth mentioning that Wang Dong'er also challenged a thousand-year-old soul beast and revealed her third soul ring, one yellow and two purple. Spurred on by Wang Qiu'er and Ji Lin, this girl worked hard and broke through to level 30 during the holiday, obtaining her third soul ring.

He became the fourth Soul Master after Ji Lin, Wang Qiu'er, and Dai Huabin from Class 1, Grade 2.

Dai Huabin also challenged a thousand-year-old soul beast and successfully passed the test. Wang Qiu'er's test was just as simple as Ji Lin's. It was also a thousand-year-old soul beast, which was directly controlled by Wang Qiu'er's Golden Pride and obediently submitted, once again refreshing the judges' values.

The assessment lasted for three days. After all, there were more than 100 students being assessed. Except for a few, most students spent at least half an hour in each battle. After the upgrade assessment, except for a few students who were eliminated due to poor performance, most of them passed the upgrade assessment.

After the assessment, Ji Lin and the others fell into a cycle of attending classes, finishing classes, and cultivating.

A few days later, Ji Lin received an invitation to a treasure appreciation event that was only open to core disciples of the outer academy.

Ji Lin inquired and found that Wang Qiu'er, Wang Dong'er, and Xiao Xiao had all received invitations.

After discussing it, the group decided to go to this so-called treasure appreciation event together.

On the way, Wang Dong'er said excitedly, "I've already asked. This treasure appreciation event is tailor-made for our Shrek Academy. However, it's also divided into levels, and this one is specifically designed for our outer academy's core disciples."

Xiao Xiao, her face beaming with excitement, said, "The so-called Treasure Appreciation Gathering is organized by some of the big merchants in Shrek City. Isn't Shrek City a commercial center? Merchants from all over the world often trade here. When the merchants in Shrek City receive some good items, they will first hold a Treasure Appreciation Gathering for our Shrek Academy. It's like letting our academy choose first, and only what we don't get will be auctioned off."

Ji Lin shook his head and smiled upon hearing this.

These businesses are clearly sucking up to Shrek Academy.

After all, Shrek Academy is the number one academy on the continent, and Shrek City was born because of Shrek Academy. Maintaining a good relationship with the academy would be extremely beneficial for those businesses.

Hearing what Xiaoxiao and Wang Dong'er said, even Wang Qiu'er, who was initially uninterested and wouldn't have gone if Ji Lin hadn't insisted, became somewhat interested. "What kind of good things are usually at treasure appreciation gatherings?"

Upon hearing Wang Qiu'er's question, Wang Dong'er immediately explained with great enthusiasm: "Treasure Appreciation Gatherings are mainly divided into three types. The first type is held for our academy, where the academy makes the purchases. For example, various rare metals! Teaching supplies used by the Martial Soul Department! Items ordered by the academy, precious ingredients, and so on. Apart from the items ordered by the academy and teachers, this kind of treasure appreciation gathering generally doesn't have anything too good."

"The other two treasure hunts are for us students, and there are even more good items there. One of them is for inner court students, and all the items are top-quality; it's said that soul bones appear every time. However, only inner court students are eligible to participate, so we have no chance. The other one is what this invitation says, and only core disciples of the outer court can participate."

"The core disciples' treasure appreciation event is tonight. Although our event isn't as good as the one the inner court seniors attend, I've heard there are still a lot of good stuff. Like pills, medicinal herbs, custom-made soul rings! And things related to soul tools, basically all high-quality items."

The group left Shrek Academy and entered Shrek City through the North Gate.

Shrek City is very large. Even after leaving the academy, the group still ran for nearly half an hour before entering the north gate of Shrek City.

As one of the most prosperous cities in the central part of Douluo Continent, Shrek City is most lively in the evening. As soon as they entered the city gate, they were overwhelmed by the bustling crowds and noisy sounds.

People were constantly entering and leaving the city, creating a dense, bustling scene as far as the eye could see. The sounds of vendors hawking their wares added to the chaos.

"Wow, so many people!" Xiaoxiao exclaimed in surprise.

Wang Dong'er said, "That's right. As one of the most prosperous economic centers on the continent, Shrek City is extremely prosperous. The city's total population is close to five million, which is close to the imperial cities of several major empires."

Ji Lin nodded. Shrek City at night was just as prosperous as Star Luo City.

The main thoroughfares of Shrek City were so wide that eight carriages could travel side by side. The sheer grandeur of it was breathtaking.

Wang Qiu'er also looked curious. This was her first time experiencing such a bustling human city. She usually stayed at Shrek Academy, and when she returned to Star Luo City with Ji Lin, she lived in the palace. She rarely saw such a lively scene.

The invitation included a detailed map, so the group wouldn't get lost. Besides, the streets of Shrek City were very orderly and easy to navigate. After walking for about fifteen minutes, they saw the location of the Treasure Pavilion.

This Treasure Pavilion is a large shop that sells all kinds of items related to Soul Masters and Soul Instructors. From a distance, the Treasure Pavilion is a huge building with four floors and a height of over twenty meters. The building itself occupies a large area and its exterior is magnificent and golden, just like a treasure basin.

Ji Lin's gaze fell on the four girls in long dresses standing on either side.

These young women in long dresses, clearly responsible for reception, appeared to be only seventeen or eighteen years old. They were sweet-looking and slender. Their lower bodies were obscured by long skirts, but their upper bodies were bare, revealing their shoulders and full breasts tightly wrapped, showcasing a clear cleavage. Their fair skin was even more alluring against the backdrop of the magnificent, golden architecture of the Jubaoge Pavilion.

However, Ji Lin only glanced at her twice before paying no more attention. Although she was dressed quite attractively and had a great figure, her looks were clearly inferior to the three girls beside her. Not to mention the most beautiful Wang Qiu'er and Wang Dong'er, even Xiao Xiao was slightly better than them. If the girls were a few years older, they would completely overwhelm her.

Moreover, in terms of figure, they can't compare to Ma Xiaotao. As for Ma Xiaotao's figure, well, those who know, know.

Before they even reached the entrance of the Treasure Pavilion, one of the eight girls at the door came out to greet them with a faint smile. She stopped beside them and respectfully asked, "Are you Soul Masters here to attend the Treasure Appreciation Gathering?"
