Douluo Continent: The Eye of Truth

Chapter 34 Treasure Reward Party

"?" Huo Yuhao opened his eyes, rubbed his head, and was a little confused.

"What's going on? Did I fall asleep?" Looking at the sunlight streaming through the dormitory window, I felt my mind seemed to have cleared up a bit.

It was still early morning, and Wang Dong was still sound asleep in his bed.

Huo Yuhao frowned. He first used mental sharing to review the memories stored in his mental clone by the Heavenly Dream Ice Silkworm, and found that there was nothing unusual during this period. It seemed that he had simply fallen asleep that night.

Wang Dong, who was standing next to her, was in the same situation. However, she may have been in a deep sleep for the first time, so she slept for the entire night without waking up.

"Stop looking, child. I was the one who made you fall asleep yesterday. How did you sleep? Were you comfortable?" An aged voice came from Huo Yuhao's spiritual sea.

Seemingly anticipating Huo Yuhao's next question: "A balance between work and rest is necessary; I believe you understand this principle."

Upon hearing this, Huo Yuhao raised an eyebrow. He naturally understood and knew that Electrolux meant well. However, Electrolux's method of making people relax was a bit too rough!

"Mr. Yi, I still hope that next time something like this happens, you could let me know in advance."

"Yes, I understand." Electrox replied, feeling somewhat tired as well. Yesterday, Huo Yuhao hadn't simply slept; Electrox had mobilized Huo Yuhao's mental energy through his divine sense.

Allowing Huo Yuhao to enter a state of unconsciousness as much as possible to achieve complete relaxation, while for Electrolux, although it did not deplete his divine sense, it was still very tiring.

"Phew, I slept so well, but why am I so hungry? Huo Yuhao, let's hurry up and go get lunch, or the cafeteria will close." Wang Dong stretched and said lazily.

"Of course I'm hungry. You've slept for a whole day and night. Eat something to tide you over."

Huo Yuhao took a prepared light meal from his storage soul tool and handed it to Wang Dong.

"Huh?" Upon hearing this, Wang Dong was stunned and looked at the afterglow of the setting sun outside the window in disbelief.

"What did you say? I thought I only slept for an hour or two! Oh no, did you infect me?!"

"You're overthinking it. It's normal to enter a deep sleep state for the first time. It will relax you completely and is very helpful in relieving mental fatigue. You won't experience this again after that."

"Right, hurry up and eat, then we can get down to business."

While eating, Wang Dong muttered, "Serious business? Isn't today a holiday?"

Huo Yuhao placed a piece of red paper with gold lettering on the table: "It was supposed to be a holiday, but Shrek City is holding a treasure appreciation event and has invited the core disciples of Shrek Academy to participate. Here, this is your invitation."

Upon hearing this, Wang Dong quickly ate his rice and then said, "Wow, really? I've heard of the Treasure Hunt, and I heard that Shrek Academy students get a discount."

"Okay, let's get ready after we finish eating. This event is sponsored by a big spender," Huo Yuhao said after straightening his clothes.

"Huh? Who's the sugar daddy?" Wang Dong put down the half-eaten lunchbox and wiped the grease from the corner of his mouth with a handkerchief.

"The person you met, Ning Tian from the Nine Treasure Glazed Tile School, just told me the specific details of the Treasure Appreciation Meeting."

"Huh? She's got her eye on you?" Upon hearing this, Wang Dong suddenly became wary: "Those guys from the Nine Treasure Glazed Tile School are all driven by self-interest; don't let them fool you."

"Hmm." Huo Yuhao nodded: "I understand, you could say she's taken a liking to me, but only to my future potential. I had a brief discussion with her this afternoon."

"The Nine Treasure Glazed Tile School and the Tang Sect have a certain relationship. She came to me not to recruit me into the Nine Treasure Glazed Tile School, but at most to get acquainted with me and to do me a favor."

"But we might as well go, it'll broaden our horizons." Compared to other things, Huo Yuhao was actually most concerned about the sale of pills and the like at the Treasure Appreciation Event.

For him, who possessed the Eye of Truth, the process of refining pills in Douluo Continent was as simple as it could be.

The production process of Xuan Shui Dan is a testament to this; it is mostly made by forcibly combining the powerful energy and medicinal properties of medicinal herbs and the essence of soul beasts.

It's more like a pill than a elixir, and it doesn't involve much technology at all.

In Electrolux's words, this was a complete waste of resources. With such a large amount of materials, Electrolux could even produce ten times the results of the pills in Douluo Continent.

However, this is not without its advantages. Under Ilex's guidance, Huo Yuhao can purify these roughly refined pills into more effective magical potions using the potion-making process.

Although Electrox's primary profession is not potion maker, as the most talented magic god in the history of the Holy Demon Continent, the concoction of magic potions is naturally not a difficult problem for him.

Secondly, there are the soul tools. The opportunity to display a large number of soul tools is extremely rare for Huo Yuhao, so he naturally wants to seize it and analyze the core arrays of these soul tools.

After Wang Dong finished eating and changed his clothes, it was almost time. Huo Yuhao and Wang Dong arrived at the gate of Shrek Academy together, where they saw Ning Tian and her two followers, Wu Feng and Nanmen Yun'er, waiting for them.

Upon seeing Huo Yuhao and Wang Dong, Wu Feng's eyes were filled with hostility, while Nanmen Yun'er's body was somewhat stiff, clearly indicating that she had been frightened by Huo Yuhao during the previous freshman assembly.

Huo Yuhao ignored Wu Feng, the lesbian, since her strength was currently no match for him. He directly addressed Ning Tian, ​​the leader of the three, saying, "Sorry, I was delayed for a while due to some cultivation matters."

"It's alright, we just arrived recently. By the way, is there the other person in your group?"

"Xiao Xiao is probably still trying to break through, so she probably won't be able to come," Huo Yuhao replied calmly. Xiao Xiao was probably trying to break through the bottleneck between level 28 and 29.

For a normal Soul Master, the Soul Power in their body can only be mobilized, circulated, and strengthened in a meditative state. Breaking through the bottleneck is a test for every Soul Master.

Unlike Huo Yuhao, who is a cheat code with his soul power circulating throughout his body and can steadily improve with the help of the Heavenly Dream Ice Silkworm, it is normal for ordinary soul masters to meditate for five or six hours when breaking through bottlenecks.

After saying this, the five of them headed together toward the Treasure Pavilion, where the treasure appreciation event was being held.

Along the way, Ning Tian also noticed Wu Feng's hostility towards Huo Yuhao. Although she didn't know where it came from, as the young sect master of the Nine Treasure Glazed Tile School, she naturally disciplined him a little.

After all, her purpose in inviting Huo Yuhao to the treasure appreciation event was to do him a favor and build connections, not to create an enemy. After this incident, Wu Feng became more restrained.

Shrek City, Treasure Pavilion.

This is the largest shop in Shrek City, selling all kinds of items related to Soul Masters and Soul Instructors. The overall structure is divided into four floors, covering a huge area. It is also over twenty meters tall, resplendent in gold, and its exterior resembles a treasure basin.

"We've arrived." Upon entering the Treasure Pavilion, we were greeted by a group of girls who were only seventeen or eighteen years old but had no innate soul power.

These girls were all sweet-looking and slender, dressed in long dresses that accentuated their figures, making them appear graceful and charming. It was clear that Jubaoge had gone to great lengths to find them from the common people and then subjected them to rigorous training.

The purpose of doing so is self-evident: one is to save face for Jubaoge, and the other is to use beauty to stimulate these Shrek Academy students, who are still in their adolescence and full of passion, to spend money.

After the five people presented their invitations, a welcoming girl at the door quickly smiled and guided them into the Treasure Pavilion.

Entering the second floor of the Treasure Pavilion, you'll find the booth for this treasure appreciation event specifically for core disciples.

In the most prominent positions, each booth showcases its items to the core disciples who come to participate from the most perfect angle. Through the crystal clear glass covers, everyone can clearly see the exhibits inside.

"Welcome to the Treasure Pavilion Appreciation Event. All five of you are welcome to browse freely. If you find any items that interest you, please register to purchase them on the west side of the second floor."

"At the same time, if you need to assess your credit limit or discount, you can also make a unified inquiry on the west side."

All of them were freshmen at Shrek Academy, and were only in their second year. Even Ning Tian, ​​who came from the Nine Treasure Glazed Tile School, had never been to the Treasure Pavilion to participate in the relevant evaluation.

Led by the welcoming girl, the five of them headed towards the west side of the second floor. Along the way, the exhibits were dazzling and overwhelming.

On the way, Huo Yuhao saw a huge booth with a golden-red soul bone on display, floating in the booth.

Unsurprisingly, this soul bone should be the one that Huo Yuhao spent 9.5 million gold soul coins to bid for Wang Dong in the original story.

Unlike in the original story, this soul bone doesn't seem to hold much appeal for Wang Dong now, and he hasn't shown any strong desire for it.

"Is it because of that torso bone?" Huo Yuhao made a certain guess based on the information he had, but in any case, it had nothing to do with him. After all, no matter how his soul power was biased, it would not be biased towards the light attribute.

However, Huo Yuhao also gained a lot along the way, with a large number of soul tools being displayed in the booth.

For Huo Yuhao, who possesses the Eye of Truth, these soul tools are as naked as if they were completely exposed to his eyes, and the core structure of their soul tools is recorded by the Eye of Truth.

Although he didn't have the energy to analyze the structure of these soul-guided core arrays for the time being, simply memorizing them wouldn't be too much of a burden for Huo Yuhao.

The lowest level is a level three soul tool, and the highest level is even a level seven soul tool design blueprint. However, for Huo Yuhao, there is no difference between the two. He records both blueprints and soul tools in the same way.

After walking nearly a hundred meters, led by the welcoming girl, the five arrived at a counter at the far west end. A girl behind the counter stood up and respectfully said, "Greetings, five Soul Masters. Please fill out the evaluation form."

Then five simple forms were presented to the group.

Unlike Huo Yuhao and Wang Dong, Ning Tian, ​​Wu Feng, and Nanmen Yun'er did not take the forms to fill out.

After all, the three of them were actually from the Nine Treasure Glazed Tile School, so they naturally wouldn't owe Shrek Academy too many favors in this matter.

Therefore, the so-called discounts and credit limits are of little use to them, since the Nine Treasure Glazed Tile School is not short of money compared to the insurmountable debts of gratitude.

Huo Yuhao and Wang Dong filled out the forms normally. After all, Huo Yuhao was of commoner origin, and for him, the resources he could obtain were the most important thing. How to obtain them was not important to him.

Wang Dong simply went along with Huo Yuhao's lead; she didn't want to think too much about it. After all, as Tang San's daughter, she was nominally the young sect leader of the Haotian Sect.

However, she didn't actually receive much training in interpersonal relationships within the sect, or perhaps the Haotian Sect simply didn't care about such things.

After all, for the Clear Sky Sect, their overwhelming strength, two powerful sect leaders, and Tang San as their ancestor are their proudest assets. As for so-called human relationships and social niceties? It has always been other forces that rely on the Clear Sky Sect, not the other way around.

"Gentlemen, the assessed prices for your credit limits and discounts have been finalized," the receptionist said in a gentle and respectful tone.

At the same time, two purple cards were placed on the table: "Your evaluation criteria are both based on the highest purple rating in your current grade. The credit limit is 100,000 gold soul coins, which can be used once a year. A re-evaluation is required in the second year."

"By holding this card, you can enjoy a 10% discount on any purchase, plus the exclusive discounts offered by the Treasure Hunt Club, making the price much cheaper than outside the club."

Upon hearing this, Huo Yuhao raised an eyebrow and accepted the purple VIP card. Although, due to the lack of ultimate attributes, he did not have the outrageously terrifying privileges that Huo Yuhao had in the original novel.

However, in his mind, the level of authority he could obtain this time was much lower than that of Wang Dong. After all, whether in terms of his own soul power, his role as a soul master, or his usual performance in the academy, he could not possibly be rated as high as Wang Dong.

"Is it just because the highest rating for this grade is purple? Or is there another reason?" Huo Yuhao asked Ning Tian and the other two, who had been waiting for some time, as he flipped the purple card back and forth in his hand.

"Alright everyone, let's continue our tour of the treasure fair."
