Douluo Continent: The Holy Evil Emperor.

Chapter 196 Top-Tier Auction

Huo Yuhao was in a very bad mood.

Throughout the round-robin tournament, he thought he would have a chance to play, but in the end, he didn't get to play a single game.

The seven round-robin matches, although the opponents were the same ones from the original work, did not include a single team fight. There were four one-on-one matches and three two-on-three matches, but no team fights.

In one-on-one matches, Dai Yueheng and Ling Luochen won immediately. In two-on-three matches, they couldn't even reach the third round. To ensure victory, Dai Yueheng and Ling Luochen brought along Soul Masters like Bei Bei, so Huo Yuhao didn't even have a chance to play.

He was incredibly frustrated at that moment.

Even though Ye Qing had already given them free rein, he still didn't get a chance to play.

I had already planned out how to play a cool character, but I just didn't get a chance to show it off.

The rats in the sewers were in tears.

After the round-robin tournament ends, there will be a one-day break to tally the points of all teams in the round-robin tournament and determine the top sixteen teams. This also gives the participating teams, who have been fighting for nearly half a month, a day to rest.

The timing of the Starlight Auction House was also excellent, with the top-tier auction being held on the night of the break, ensuring that no academy would be unable to participate due to the competition format.

They're serious about making money.

Having attended so many auctions without encountering any top-tier treasures, Ye Qing had honestly given up hope for this top-tier auction. Huo Yuhao had practically fleeced him, so it was highly unlikely that any exceptional items would appear at this top-tier auction.

Opportunities follow a law: those destined for greatness must find a way to obtain them.

Whether it's through scavenging, murder and robbery, or any other means, it will ultimately fall into the hands of the chosen one.

This is already a rule of heaven (a fixed plot in the novel), and this top-level auction is not something Huo Yuhao can try to take advantage of. If the planetary consciousness of Douluo Star really wanted to give Huo Yuhao something, it would not be possible to release it at an auction of this level.

He couldn't get his hands on it at all.

Even so, Ye Qing still planned to attend.

What if?

Anyway, there's no harm in going, so just treat it as watching the excitement. If something really good comes up, but Ye Qing misses out because he didn't go, wouldn't that be a real shame?

The nine-figure gold soul coins stored in his soul tool were waiting for him to spend them. After years of accumulation, Ye Qing now had more than two hundred million gold soul coins. If he didn't spend them, they would just be a pile of valuable scrap metal.

Although the others were curious about why Ye Qing was so enthusiastic about the auction, they accompanied Ye Qing to every single one of the sessions.

This top-tier auction is no exception.

"A top-tier auction, even I've only attended a few times. Every time an auction of this caliber is held, the final item in the grand finale is worth at least 30 million gold soul coins," Dai Yueheng said with a smile.

"I think you didn't participate because you couldn't afford it. Otherwise, with your status as the eldest son of the White Tiger Duke, it would be very easy for you to get an invitation," Ma Xiaotao complained.

"What you said is true, but saying it so bluntly is too hurtful. I'm not as rich as Brother Yezi." Dai Yueheng spread his hands helplessly.

He was merely the eldest son of the White Tiger Duke, not the White Tiger Duke himself. Even if he inherited Dai Hao's title, it was impossible for him to use Gold Soul Coins in such a way.

It's best to avoid such places of extravagance.

"Thirty million gold soul coins, that's a lot of money..." Jiang Nannan muttered to herself.

"I don't know about the others, but you definitely couldn't sell Sanshi for this much." Beibei leaned over and reminded Xu Sanshi.

Xu Sanshi was furious when he heard this and immediately started arguing with Bei Bei.

Xiao Xiao couldn't help but join the conversation: "Can we really afford to buy things in a place like this?"

As a result, everyone turned their attention to Ye Qing, who was currently holding Zhang Lexuan's slender waist and humming a tune they had never heard before.

"I don't have much savings, only a little over a hundred million, but I can still barely afford to buy a few items at auction." Ye Qing stretched out his right hand, bent his thumb and forefinger, and made a stick-red gesture.

Dai Yueheng and the others certainly didn't believe it, taking it all as a joke by Ye Qing.

Before long, the group arrived at the entrance of the Starlight Auction House and were led inside by a Black-level auctioneer dressed in auctioneer's attire. It was not Qingya. Although Qingya was worth two people, she was only a Purple-level auctioneer and was not qualified to serve as a guide for a top-level auction.

The auctioneer who received Ye Qing and his group was named Anna. To become a Black-level auctioneer, her looks and figure were naturally top-notch.

Xu Sanshi, who was just arguing with Beibei, was immediately captivated by Anna's mature, peach-like body. His every smile and gesture almost made the licking turtle drool.

Of course, Anna didn't even glance at Xu Sanshi; her attention was entirely focused on Ye Qing.

Nowadays, there is no one in Xingluo City who doesn't know Ye Qing. During the Soul Battle Tournament, the discussion about the competition was extremely high in the city. Ye Qing, this extraordinary genius with two 100,000-year soul rings, naturally became the focus of discussion among the masses in the streets and alleys.

Anna looked at Ye Qing, who had an ethereal air, handsome face, and tall, imposing figure, with intense longing in her eyes.

If Ye Qing hadn't been holding Zhang Lexuan in her arms, she probably would have pressed herself against him.

"Distinguished guests, please come in—" Anna led Shrek and his group to VIP room number two and respectfully invited them inside.

Room One was for receiving His Majesty Emperor Xu Jiawei, while Room Two was the highest-level room in the Starlight Auction House besides the royal exclusive room, which shows how much Xu Jiawei valued Ye Qing.

The original Shrek Academy didn't receive this kind of treatment.

"How long until the auction starts?" Ye Qing sat on the sofa in the middle, facing the still dim soul guidance screen on the wall, and casually asked Anna next to him.

"Twenty minutes left," Anna replied softly, a hint of a smile in her beautiful eyes. "I'm sure this auction will satisfy Lord Ye Qing."

"Oh?" Ye Qing paused slightly as she poured the juice, turning her head to look at Anna, who was smiling sweetly. "From what you're saying, it seems you know the list of items for this auction? Tell me about it, I'm quite interested."

"I'm sorry, Lord Ye Qing, I have no right to disclose information about the auction items." Anna shook her head.

"But... I can tell you in advance that the final item in this auction is worth nine figures in gold soul coins."

Nine-figure Gold Soul Coins!

Everyone else looked shocked when they heard those words.
