Douluo Continent II: The Dragon Breaks the Nine Heavens

Chapter 133 What?! Wang Dong'er ran away?!

"What? A treasure hunt?"

Lin Yun stared blankly at Ning Tian and a bright red invitation card on the table in front of him, with three large characters written in gold foil on the card.

Treasure Appreciation Event.

"Yes, I couldn't find you anywhere last night, so Teacher Mu gave me the invitation to pass on to you." Ning Tian looked at Lin Yun with a gentle and polite smile on his face.

Xiao Xiao also had a similar invitation in front of her.

"Brother Yun, should we go take a look?" Xiao Xiao looked at Lin Yun.

Lin Yun pondered for a moment, then nodded.

The Treasure Appreciation Association is a merchant guild under Shrek Academy. The current head of the association is a titled Douluo elder from the Sea God Pavilion, whose name seems to be Lin Huiqun.

Of course, in the original description, the Treasure Appreciation Gathering was a joint event organized by several merchant guilds in Shrek City. But as those in the know understand, with treasures being offered and credit lines being provided, would Shrek possibly allow these merchant guilds to try and win over Shrek's talented students?

Don't even think about it.

Only a fool would believe the rumor to be true.

The Treasure Hunt is essentially a way for Shrek Academy to tie down talented but powerless commoner students with limited cultivation resources.

I'll give you the good stuff first, and once you take it, you'll owe Shrek a debt. One day you'll be able to pay it back with interest. If you don't pay it back, you'll be Shrek's tool for life.

Moreover, this treasure appreciation event is divided into two different scales: inner and outer courtyards. The inner courtyard, where the direct descendants of Shrek Academy who have already been brainwashed, are allowed to choose first, and only after they have chosen are the core disciples of the outer courtyard allowed to make their selections.

However, to be fair, there are quite a few good items at the Treasure Hunt, as long as you can afford them.

For example, the piece of ten-thousand-year-old whale glue from the original work would be quite suitable for Xiao Xiao now.

Speaking of whale glue, Lin Yun has never tasted it before. One reason is that the Star Dou Great Forest has abundant cultivation resources, and the other is that this stuff is only abundant in coastal areas and the deep sea. There's no way there could be whales in the forest.

Furthermore, as the owner of the Golden Dragon King Martial Soul, Lin Yun's physical attributes were already incredibly powerful, so he didn't need whale glue at all. This was also the reason why he didn't actively seek out whale glue.

But...

Now that we've come to another world, how can we not experience the thrill of finding a bargain?

It's better to give it to Xiao Xiao than to Huo Yuhao.

"Let's go take a look then. We don't have any other plans for tonight anyway. Let's see if there's anything at the so-called treasure hunt that will tempt me to buy it!" Lin Yun said with a smile.

"Let's go together tonight. Xiao Feng and I are also planning to go and take a look." Ning Tian said gently. "Although our Nine Treasure Glazed Tile School is also a sect with a commercial nature, in terms of connections, our Nine Treasure Glazed Tile School is not as good as Shrek Academy. There are some things at the Treasure Appreciation Event that even I would want to buy."

Ning Tian's words implied three parts that he genuinely wanted to go shopping, but the other seven parts actually meant he wanted to follow Lin Yun.

Well known.

One of the main characteristics of a secluded sect is its isolation from the world. This isolation means that the sect may have very few revenue streams and its funds are destined to be limited.

What's even more coincidental is that the Nine Treasures Glazed Tile School has no shortage of money; they can have as much as they want.

If Lin Yun happens to take a fancy to something at the treasure appreciation event, but he doesn't have enough money, Ning Tian, ​​this walking little rich woman, will be able to make full use of her greatest advantage.

She didn't ask Lin Yun to owe her anything; she just wanted their relationship to get closer.

Spending a little money was well worth it. Soon, the first day of classes after entering the second year came to an end. After returning to the dormitory and washing up a bit, Lin Yun waited for Xiao Xiao and Ning Tian to arrive downstairs.

While Lin Yun was resting with his eyes closed, he heard footsteps approaching him.

Opening his eyes, a burly figure was reflected in Lin Yun's bright golden pupils.

"Brother Yun!" Huo Yuhao waved to Lin Yun and greeted him with a smile.

"It's you." Lin Yun nodded.

Huo Yuhao stepped forward and asked curiously, "Brother Yun, are you waiting for someone?"

"Isn't this pretty obvious? If I'm not waiting for anyone, there's no need for me to stand here!" Lin Yun looked at Huo Yuhao with amusement.

"That's true." Huo Yuhao chuckled and scratched his head, then reached into his pocket and pulled out a very familiar red and gold-embossed invitation card. This was Huo Yuhao's invitation to the treasure appreciation event.

In the entrance exam, Huo Yuhao chose a thousand-year-old soul beast for the test and revealed his second martial soul, the Titan Snow Demon. He crushed the thousand-year-old soul beast and got a high score of 145 points. He also renewed his core disciple experience card into a permanent voucher.

He also has the qualifications to attend the treasure appreciation event.

"Are you also going to the treasure appreciation event?" Huo Yuhao waved the invitation in his hand.

"Yes, besides me, there's Xiao Xiao, Ning Tian, ​​and Wu Feng. I'm waiting for the three of them now." Lin Yun also took out his invitation.

"Shall we go together?"

"There is nothing wrong with that."

So Huo Yuhao stood next to Lin Yun, looking just like a loyal bodyguard to a rich young master.

"You seem to be in a bad mood these past two days. I remember you were quite happy when you came back from school. Did something happen?" With someone to talk to now, Lin Yun stopped closing his eyes to rest and started chatting with Huo Yuhao.

Upon hearing Lin Yun bring up this topic, Huo Yuhao's good mood vanished considerably, and his expression stiffened.

He didn't really want to bring up the topic, but no matter what, Lin Yun was the only person Huo Yuhao had a relatively good relationship with at Shrek Academy.

"Sigh, Brother Yun, you don't know this," Huo Yuhao sighed, shaking his head helplessly, "Do you remember my roommate?"

"I remember, Wang Dong. I was watching you guys fight when school started." Lin Yun nodded.

Hearing this, Huo Yuhao was even more helpless: "Yes, it's him. He's a weirdo with the temper of a young master. Apart from the very beginning, after the freshman assessment, my relationship with him was actually pretty good. But after I awakened my second martial soul and my appearance changed drastically, he showed me a lot of malice."

Lin Yun crossed his arms with great interest and gestured for Huo Yuhao to continue.

"and then?"

"And then? What else could happen? We had a huge fight, almost got into another one, and he moved out that very day, saying it was disgusting to live in the same dorm as me..." Huo Yuhao clenched his fists, a fierce glint appearing on his rugged face.

Wang Dong was the first person to explicitly attack his appearance, which greatly angered Huo Yuhao.

Wang Dong is courting death by mocking my appearance!

Lin Yun's expression, which had been one of watching a show, froze.

Am I interested?!

Princess Tang has run away?!
