Douluo: Dragon King's Tai Chi Mystery

"Brother Zhao, let me toast you!"

Le Zhengyu couldn't sit still any longer. With a big smile on his face, he picked up his cup. Zhao Xuanzhen sensed something sinister in the curve of his lips.

"Ding Dong——"

The two glasses clinked together, the spilled wine sparkling and clear. Soul Masters possessed physical abilities far exceeding those of ordinary people, and their ability to digest alcohol was extraordinary, but they couldn't withstand drinking one glass after another.

Le Zhengyu showed the world with his actions that the Holy Angel should just honestly kill the evil soul masters and not try to show off by drinking with the original soul masters. Otherwise, it would be like raising a white flag to surrender. He then crawled under the table with a thud and hugged Tang Wulin's leg tightly.

"Gu Yue."

Ye Xinglan set her sights on Gu Yue. The two raised their wine glasses and exchanged a glance, their eyes brimming with barely concealed hostility. They then proceeded to chug each other's drinks with perfect tacit understanding. The two stunningly beautiful girls had rosy cheeks from drinking, yet neither was willing to concede to the other.

As Xingyue drank, they both became so engrossed in their drinks that they kept asking the waiter for more. Ye Xinglan, hiccuping from the alcohol, got up and grabbed Zhao Xuanzhen's sleeve, refusing to let go, her cold little hands stroking him.

Gu Yue's eyes narrowed, and she coldly said, "He's mine." She grabbed Ye Xinglan by the collar and continued their fight until Ye Xinglan was drunk and fell into a deep sleep. Then she ran to Zhao Xuanzhen.

The contrast between her serene and pretty face and her dark, beautiful eyes was striking; she stared intently at Zhao Xuanzhen, much like a spider demon in the Spider Cave seeing Tang Sanzang.

Zhao Xuanzhen was cautious, fearing that Gu Yue might eat him alive if she opened her mouth. Just then, the soul communication device beeped with a message notification.

Na'er: You must be tired of chatting with that woman. Here, have a cup of milk tea.

Zhao Xuanzhen: Four cups, they're right next to me.

Na'er sent a disparaging emoji, followed by another message.

Xuanzhen giegie, your fishing net has a hole, and I'm about to be pushed away by other fish. When are you going to come back and fix it?

With three things on his mind at once—looking after the drunken Ye Xinglan, carefully observing Gu Yue as her desires were exposed, and chatting with Na'er across the ocean—Zhao Xuanzhen was incredibly busy.

"Boom boom boom!"

Suddenly there was a knock on the door. Wu Changkong got up and went to open it. A woman in a red dress stood outside. She looked to be about twenty-eight or twenty-nine years old, with a pretty face and a curvaceous figure.

"Hello, Teacher Wu Changkong, I am Lia from the Starry Sky Auction House. Welcome to Shrek Academy for tonight's auction."

Lia handed over the invitation and then took out a letter with a white tiger seal. She bowed deeply and said, "I apologize for the oversight of the Soul Master Competition judges. This is compensation from the Star Luo Empire to your esteemed student Ye Xinglan. Please accept it."

Besides the final treasure, Ye Xinglan can choose any one item to be auctioned off; in short, she can take one item for free tonight.

"Okay." Wu Changkong nodded.

After bowing again, Lia left and thoughtfully closed the door. Wu Changkong looked at the group of people who were all slumped over and said, "Everyone, use your soul power to recover. Let's go to the Starry Sky Auction House together tonight and see if there's anything suitable for you."

“Um… I have something urgent to attend to, is it okay if I don’t go to the auction?” Yuan Enhui raised her hand.

"No."

Zhao Xuanzhen stopped the girl from having unrealistic fantasies.

Why is this happening?

When the name Yuan Enhui was uttered, it suddenly evoked the image of a simple farmer who had just finished his farm work, standing on the ridge of the field, leaning on his hoe, feeling lost and helpless under the scorching sun, and a sense of misery welled up within him.

She's really out of ideas!

Chapter 133 Yuan En: I'm not good enough, Golden Earth Dragon King and Light Holy Dragon Crystal (4K)

The Starry Sky Auction House is the largest auction venue in Star Luo City and is directly under the Star Luo Royal Family.

The popularity of the All-Continent Youth Advanced Soul Master Elite Competition has reached unprecedented levels. The Starry Sky Auction House has decided to hold a top-level auction. At this moment, nobles and gentry from all directions are gathering in Star Luo City. Every now and then, a high-tech soul-guided car can be seen driving through the passage and entering the Starry Sky Auction House.

As the Shrek Seven Devils slowly arrived under the cover of night, they immediately attracted whispers from countless passersby. The seven of them had achieved outstanding results in the Soul Master Competition, and their faces were already deeply imprinted in the hearts of the audience. Apart from Xu Lizhi lowering the average appearance, the six little ones plus Wu Changkong were handsome men and beautiful women, capturing a large number of eyes.

Zhao Xuanzhen's complete dominance in defeating the Mountain Dragon King Long Yue has made him famous throughout the entire Star Luo Continent. After half a day of public opinion fermentation, he is now the center of attention wherever he goes.

The Star Luo Empire truly lives up to its reputation as a nation that admires the strong. Upon seeing the newly crowned individual champion, a beautiful girl with starry eyes mustered up her courage and approached him for an autograph, sweetly declaring in her voice that she was a loyal fan of Zhao Xuanzhen.

Seeing this, Yue Zhengyu, always eager to stir up trouble, egged Zhao Xuanzhen on. Zhao Xuanzhen, not wanting to refuse the enthusiastic fans, casually signed his name on the shirt that was stretched taut across the chest.

However, he resolutely held firm to his bottom line and politely declined the hotel room cards that the beautiful women were trying to stuff into his pocket. Gu Yue and Ye Xinglan were relieved; at least this guy knew how to be picky and wouldn't accept anything.

Throughout the journey, Yuan En Ye Hui remained silent, leaving the Fallen Angel completely baffled. She had clearly taken advantage of Zhao Xuan Zhen's shift to take care of Ye Xing Lan to secretly go to the casino and place bets, so how did she get exposed?

It was as if she had been tricked by a deity; an invisible pair of eyes were watching her every move, knowing everything she did.

The registration area is located about fifty meters from the Starry Sky Auction House. On ordinary days, many Starry Sky nobles who are usually out of reach are obediently queuing up to complete the tedious registration procedures and obtain number plates.

Upon seeing Shrek's group arrive, a pretty young woman in a red dress stepped forward to greet them. Wu Changkong handed over an invitation from the Star Luo Royal Family. After reading it, the young woman's red lips parted slightly, and her back straightened instinctively. Maintaining a humble yet elegant demeanor, she led them towards a special passage.

Passing through a metal gate branded with a white tiger relief, the scene suddenly changes. The walls on both sides are resplendent in gold, and the view is filled with a golden expanse. The ground is paved with luxurious deep-sea crystal gold, and every ten meters there is a pair of pillars carved with exquisite patterns.

The opulent atmosphere of the empire was overwhelming. Yuan Enhui and Xu Lizhi, who had never attended an auction before, were somewhat dazzled by the surrounding decorations and magnificent lighting. Even Tang Wulin, who had only seen small and medium-sized auction houses, was awestruck by this three-dimensional, glittering golden world.

The girl in the red dress opened the door to VIP room number nine, bowed slightly, and said softly, "Please come in, distinguished guests."

In the center of the room sat a crimson sofa made from the fur of a ten-thousand-year-old Flame Lion King, while a white jade table was set with fruits and drinks that were specialties of the Star Luo Empire.

The Shrek members took their seats, and Zhao Xuanzhen sank into the Flame Lion King sofa, thinking to himself that no matter which continent they went to, the Flame Lion King could not escape the fate of being skinned and made into sofas and carpets.

With Gu Yue on the left and Ye Xinglan on the right, the two stunningly beautiful girls occupied Zhao Xuanzhen's two sides, while opposite them was the Soul Guidance Screen broadcasting the auction in real time.

The girl in the red dress said softly, "Welcome to the Starry Sky Auction House. The auction is about to begin, and there are nine items for auction, including ten-thousand-year-old spiritual objects, ten-thousand-year-old soul bones, rare metals, and living ten-thousand-year-old soul beasts. We are sure to meet the needs of our distinguished guests."

As Yuan Enye listened to the girl's detailed and knowledgeable introduction, he almost became depressed. His resentment was enough to feed a hundred evil sword immortals.

Zhao Xuanzhen's intentions are obvious to everyone; the Yuanen treasury is in grave danger. As a powerful capitalist who owns half of the Spirit Pagoda, it's intolerable that he expects his impoverished employees to pay for his business when he's out and about!

Good evening, distinguished guests.

A beautiful, melodious female voice rang out, and the auction hall fell silent. The wall lamps around the hall dimmed, while the lights on the auction stage gradually brightened.

Leah, who had previously invited Shrek Academy to the auction, walked onto the stage from the side of the auction hall with a charming smile on her face. Her gold dress was well-tailored, outlining her mature figure, and she walked with graceful steps.

Zhao Xuanzhen casually picked up a glass of juice and looked at the radiant woman on the screen. He had initially guessed that Dai Yun'er was making a guest appearance as the auctioneer, but now it seemed that he was wrong. It was the style of the Star Crown Sect to have a princess as an auctioneer, but the White Tiger Dai family did not follow this practice.

"I am Leah, a gold-level auctioneer at the Starry Sky Auction House, and I will be hosting the annual auction today."

Leah bowed to the audience, winning applause, and said in a melodious voice, "The auction is now officially open. We will be presenting nine items to our distinguished guests. Please have the staff present the first item."

The Starry Sky Auction House has a simple and direct style, with no intention of being long-winded. This reflects their absolute confidence in the items and their complete lack of concern about any items going unsold. Two staff members pushed a small cart onto the auction stage, covered with a red cloth.

A fair, delicate hand unveiled the red cloth, revealing the first item of the Starry Sky Auction to all the distinguished guests. It was a giant piece of rare metal, its white-gold color warm and understated, as if it were a fusion of solidified moonlight and the first light of dawn. Its surface was covered with tiny particles, and its texture and light were deep and mysterious.

"Star Luo Sacred Gold!"

As the only blacksmith in the room, Tang Wulin jumped up, his eyes fixed intently on the platinum rare metal on the screen. He wished he could jump over the screen and grab a forging hammer to hammer it away, his eyes filled with fascination.

"What a pity...what a pity..."

Tang Wulin sighed with regret. Star Luo Sacred Gold is a unique metal of the Star Luo Empire, with extremely limited production. It is strictly controlled by the Star Luo Empire and is absolutely not allowed to be sold to outsiders.

The strength of Starry Holy Gold is beyond doubt. Its ductility and elemental affinity as a single metal far surpass those of Jade Silver, which is forged from smelted silver and magic silver. The Blacksmith Association calls it the ultimate version of Jade Silver.

Because jade silver is widely applicable and not too difficult to forge, it is suitable as the metal material for most one-word battle armors. Therefore, the spirit alloy of the one-word battle armors of the Three Musketeers of the East Sea and Xu Lizhi is jade silver, which is not suitable for incorporating Star Luo Holy Gold with the same effect.

If the Spirit One-Word Battle Armor were forged using Star Luo Sacred Gold, Tang Wulin believed that the four-person battle armor would be even better, which is why he exclaimed that it was such a pity.

The light and shadow soul tool displayed the Star Luo Sacred Gold from 360 degrees. Lia smiled and said, "Star Luo Sacred Gold is an excellent material for making battle armor. The starting price is one million Star Luo coins, and each bid must be at least ten thousand. The auction begins!"

"Yuan En, I think the Star Luo Saint Gold is pretty good. Judging by its size and weight, it's enough for five of our battle armors. What do you think?"

Zhao Xuanzhen's smile was as warm and gentle as a spring breeze. Star Luo Sacred Gold was the rare metal that Jiutian most wanted to acquire. However, the official restrictions imposed by the Star Luo Empire were in place, and metal shops did not have the authority to sell it. This opportunity could not be missed.

"boss……"

Yuan Enhui gazed at Zhao Xuanzhen with a sorrowful look, her eyes somewhere between those of a ruthless boss and a gambling-addicted husband.

To be fair, with Yuan Enhui's stunning beauty, Xiao Chunan, who was only a teenager, was completely unable to resist her charm. However, Zhao Xuanzhen was different; he was an unscrupulous boss who could easily exploit his employees.

"You know, we are a team."

"I understand……"

Yuan Enhui tremblingly pulled out a gold card and, with a heart full of despair, placed it in Zhao Xuanzhen's hand. He had finally earned a windfall and was handing it over to his dearest boss once again!

I failed! I really failed!

The girl slumped on the sofa, staring at the ceiling. The flaming lion's fur offered no warmth, and her pretty face was filled with despair.

Gu Yue had been secretly observing the interaction between Zhao Xuanzhen and Yuanen Yehui. The boss and the employee were mortal enemies. Their ruthless exploitation was devoid of any ambiguity; it was pure and unadulterated exploitation!

Ye Xinglan calmly watched as her dear friend was manipulated by Zhao Xuanzhen. She did not use the maximum compensation rights granted by the Star Luo Empire. After all, this was the first item to be auctioned tonight, and it was not worth wasting her privileges. She could only suffer the loss of Yuanen Yehui's wallet.

"Congratulations to the VIP in Box 9 for winning the Star Luo Sacred Gold with 2.51 million Star Luo Coins!"

Lia brought down the auction gavel, as if it had struck Yuanen Yehui on the head. On the surface, Yuanen was still panting, but in reality, she had been walking for a while.

"The second item is the 'Ten Thousand Year Dragon Scale Fruit'."

A fist-sized red fruit appeared on the soul guidance screen. Fine, layered crystalline scales covered the fruit's skin, with molten red flesh faintly visible through the gaps. The entire fruit resembled a slowly beating heart, its scales opening and closing slightly, emanating a thin golden-red mist.

Upon hearing the words "Dragon Scale Fruit," Tang Wulin's eyes lit up instantly. The Dragon Scale Fruit could refine dragon blood, and it was especially suitable for giant dragons, who were skilled in physical combat, as it was a perfect match for the golden dragon bloodline within him.

Tang Wulin is a hidden tycoon; dozens of pieces of thousand-refined and spirit-refined metal lie in his storage soul tool.

These metals were the hard currency of the two continents, and Tang Wulin decided to splurge. His manner of competing with others for the Dragon Scale Fruit could be described as domineering and confident, and he eventually succeeded in getting what he wanted.

Black-grade mecha, battle armor belt, catwoman, fused metal, ten-thousand-year-old sea spirit beast—one item after another appeared on the auction stage. During this time, no one showed any interest in any of the items. Soon, the eighth treasure arrived: a ten-thousand-year-old soul bone.

A rich, tangible golden halo flowed slowly across the soul bone, circulating endlessly. This was a left leg soul bone, with a thick, sturdy femur connecting to a knee joint full of explosive beauty, all the way to the five slightly curved toe bones with sharp ends like divine weapons. The entire soul bone was a single, seamless piece.

Golden light illuminated the exhibition stand, casting a brilliant glow. Golden mist rose and swirled, gathering and coiling three feet above the soul bone. Amidst the churning mist, the phantom of a majestic dragon appeared and disappeared, its golden body as massive as a mountain, its eyes burning with the flames of light.

"The left leg soul bone of the 50,000-year-old Golden Earth Dragon King!"

By the eighth item, Leah's melodious voice had become increasingly captivating, drawing everyone's attention into the description.

"The Golden Earth Dragon King possesses the pure bloodline of the Light Dragon Clan, and this Soul Bone is a concentrated essence of the Golden Earth Dragon King's bloodline over 50,000 years."

As everyone knows, even a diluted pure bloodline possesses the legacy of the Light Dragon Clan compared to a mixed bloodline. The Light-attribute Soul Masters present should consider this carefully. Starting bid: ten million Star Luo Coins!

The Golden Earth Dragon King is a rare and precious soul bone with the attribute of light, and everyone turned to look at the Holy Angel Yue Zhengyu.

Facing several probing gazes, the angelic successor said in a deep voice, "Our Holy Angel family is large and powerful, with plenty of high-quality soul bones. This young master doesn't even look at a mere 50,000-year soul bone."

"whispering sound."

Someone scoffed mockingly, not because they looked down on it, but because they simply couldn't afford it! In the distant Star Luo Continent, the Holy Angel Young Master had undergone an epic nerf, no longer displaying the arrogant and domineering attitude of buying up shops at the drop of a hat!

"Xuanzhen, let me use my special privileges to bid for the Golden Earth Dragon King's Soul Bone," Ye Xinglan said softly.

"Okay." Zhao Xuanzhen nodded.

Ye Xinglan's rights are limited to the first eight items in the auction; they will expire if she doesn't use them. The Golden Earth Dragon King's left leg soul bone happens to be the most expensive, and whether she keeps it for herself or resells it, she will make a fortune.

"The last item up for auction tonight..."

Lyana's alluring voice rang out again, and the item on the display stand was about the same size as a dragon scale fruit. It was a rhombus-shaped crystal, its pure white-gold radiance burning brilliantly. The light was so dazzling that the souls of the bidders who looked directly at it seemed to be purified by its flawless power of light!

"The Holy Dragon of Light, Dragon Crystal!"

Lia announced the name of the grand finale item and loudly introduced it: "Dragon Crystal and Dragon Pill have similar effects. Soul Masters will benefit greatly from absorbing them and may even possess the physique of a dragon. Most importantly, it does not restrict the attribute of the absorber's Martial Soul!"

Legend has it that Huo Yuhao, the Spirit Ice Douluo, once absorbed a White Dragon Pill and gained a body as powerful as that of a dragon. The bloodline of the Holy Light Dragon is undoubtedly superior to that of the White Dragon, and the benefits would only be greater!

The Radiant Dragon Crystal has no starting bid; the seller only accepts barter. If you are interested in bidding on this dragon crystal, please press the bid button. The seller will then negotiate the price with you in VIP room number one!

Priceless treasure!

The private rooms erupted in an uproar. Every noble in the Star Luo Empire with any status knew that the Holy Light Dragon was a symbol of the Empire's guardian deity's grace, and the seller's identity was self-evident!

When the Holy Dragon Douluo took out the Holy Dragon Crystal of Light, it was clear that he had already locked onto his target. Although the nobles were reluctant to miss this golden opportunity, they dared not interfere with Enci.

Starry Sky Auction House, Box Number One.

Emperor Dai Tianling of the Star Luo Empire and Saint Dragon Douluo Enci sat facing each other. Dai Tianling sighed:

“Teacher, the Holy Dragon Crystal of Light is your private treasure. Your loss is too great.”

"Your Majesty flatters me." Enci laughed and stroked his white beard.

"In this Soul Master Competition, we have witnessed the younger generation of Douluo Continent. Zhao Xuanzhen is destined to become the next peak quasi-god who dominates the era. Behind him stands the Spirit Pagoda. If the Empire wants to avoid conquest by the Sun Moon Federation, winning his favor is crucial."

This old man has no other desires but the wish for the prosperity and strength of the Star Luo Empire.

Chapter 134 Bartering, Nine Heads, Skull Douluo: You Didn't Know Your House Was Haunted (4K)

"Dragon Crystal..."

In Box 9 of the Starry Sky Auction House, gazing at the gleaming dragon crystal on the soul guide screen, Gu Yue lightly pursed her crimson lips, a deep frown rising between her brows.

Zhao Xuanzhen noticed Gu Yue's unusual behavior and asked in a low voice, "Absorbing the Holy Dragon Crystal of Light is quite beneficial to the Seven-Colored Dragon, isn't it?"
