Douluo Dalu: The Unrivaled Panlong Zhentian

Chapter 76 Top , Top Auction

About six days later, the cycle was over!
The Sun Moon Royal Soul Instructor Academy finished first in the group stage, winning eight games.

Zhengtian College also competed with Sun Moon Royal Soul Instructor College. They only lost one game to Sun Moon Royal Soul Instructor College.

Each of the eight groups will have two college teams.

A total of sixteen college teams will compete in the knockout rounds to advance to the quarterfinals.

In the Star King Hotel, Lin Jiayi, the director of the Sun Moon Royal Soul Instructor Academy, called everyone to a meeting.

As expected, the teams from all the advanced soul master academies that entered the top sixteen were in meetings.

"The list of the 16-to-8 elimination round has been announced."

"This is what I just got from the Xingluo Empire Palace, along with our opponents in the round of 16." Lin Jiayi held a booklet in his hand.

"Pass it to each other and have a look!" After saying that, Lin Jiayi passed the booklet in his hand to everyone.

"Ok?"

"Tianhun Academy of Talents!" Ma Rulong saw their opponents in the round of 16 on the booklet.

"Hmm? Let me see!" Mikama Rulong took the booklet.

"I remember that this academy seemed to be quite powerful, and there seemed to be two Soul Kings." Lin Xi, one of the regular team members, said, tapping his chin.

"How did they manage to get to this level in the round-robin tournament?"

"Then how did Zhengtian Academy get out of the border? Xiao Xiafeng, I find that your brain is really slow, how did you become a level 5 soul instructor?"

"Chen Fei, you."

"That's enough!" Qiangu Tianzong's voice sounded.

"Just play in the next knockout match to advance to the quarterfinals, don't worry about me." Qiangu Tianzong said directly.

"I won't go on the field either! Shrek is our ultimate opponent, and we can't let them figure us out yet." After saying that, Ma Rulong glanced at Qiangu Tianzong.

Qiangu Tianzong naturally noticed Ma Rulong's eyes, but he didn't care at all.

His true strength had never been revealed. He hoped that the people of Shrek would let him use his full strength to have fun.

"You have also played in the round-robin match. Do you want to participate in the knockout match to advance to the quarterfinals?" Qiangu Tianzong said this to Xiao Hongchen, Meng Hongchen, and Huo Yuhao.

"Are you looking down on me?" Xiao Hongchen glanced at Qiangu Tianzong.

Qiangu Tianzong raised his eyebrows when he saw this scene, and thought to himself: "My hands are itching again!"

But he also heard the hidden meaning, which was to go.

"The opponents in the round of 16 are not important. What we need to pay attention to are the other several high-level soul master academies. We will most likely meet these academies in the next round of 8 to 4 and 4 to 2." Ma Rulong said with his hands clasped together and his elbows resting on the table.

"Ma Rulong is right. From the initial knockout rounds to the current round of 16 to the top 8, I think you all have seen the battles among these academies!" Lin Jiayi said.

"Although I have great confidence in you, I still need to say more."

"The first to be hit was naturally Shrek Academy. There's nothing much to say about them. We previously thought that they had encountered something and their strength was not complete, but judging from their subsequent performance, it seems that there are not many problems."

"With two Soul Emperors from Shrek Academy and the profound background of five Soul Kings, this lineup is enough to daunt opponents on the stage of any Soul Fighting Competition. Its rarity is self-evident."

"Their strength remains intact and they are our greatest enemy."

"There are three high-level soul master academies here that we need to pay attention to."

"Di'ao Academy, one Soul Emperor and six Soul Kings. They are the biggest dark horses in this Continental Advanced Soul Master Academy Elite Competition!"

"Douling Royal Academy has also attracted everyone's attention with its extraordinary strength. As one of the top four high-level soul master academies in the last competition, they have five soul kings and two soul lords."

"Perhaps compared to encountering other academies, this Douling Royal Academy may cause you some trouble."

"Because this Douling Royal Academy is not bound by tradition, they have integrated the training of soul guides into the education system of advanced soul masters. This allows their students to master the exquisite use of soul guides in addition to soul skills."

"Almost all of their participating team members are equipped with soul guides. And they are able to use them skillfully in the competition. At least two of them are real soul guides."

"With the strength of a Soul King combined with a Soul Guidance Device, you should know how powerful a Soul Guidance Device is. When we encounter them, our methods may not be able to exert their full strength. Moreover, they are people who practice both Soul Master and Soul Guidance Device like Tian Zong."

"When you meet them, you must not ignore them. Although you won't lose, wasting too much energy is not a good thing." "There is also a Xingluo National College..."

Just as Lin Jiayi was about to continue introducing Xingluo National College, a pleasant female voice interrupted him from outside the door, "Dear guest, I'm sorry to bother you. I'm not a service staff, I'm a staff member from the Xingguang Auction House."

Qiangu Tianzong signaled with his eyes, then left Li Yan and ran to open the door.

The door opened, revealing a girl in a white dress. Her eyes fell directly on Lin Jiayi and she smiled slightly.

Then he bowed gently to everyone, his voice clear and pleasant, with a hint of apology, "I am sorry to have disturbed your quiet time. I really feel uneasy. I hope you can forgive me."

Lin Jiayi's face was slightly condensed, his eyes were deep, like an ancient pond. He looked at the maid from the Starlight Auction House in a polite but slightly scrutinizing manner, secretly thinking about the other party's intention. He said in a steady and powerful voice: "What's the matter?"

He is already an old man, and he loves soul guides more than women, so it is natural that this is the case.

"It's like this. The Starlight Auction House will hold a top-level auction tonight. Such events only happen a few times a year, and only guests of distinguished status and extraordinary taste can be honored and invited to attend." There was a hint of pride in her voice, as if the auction itself was a work of art worth showing off.

"As the most distinguished guest of our Xingluo Empire, your institution is naturally among the invited guests. Therefore, the owner of the auction house has specially ordered me to come and present this distinguished invitation to you." Her words revealed her recognition and respect for the identities of Lin Jiayi and others. At the same time, she took out a stack of carefully crafted invitations from her sleeve and gently placed them on the table. The invitations were outlined with gold thread and had intricate patterns, revealing an extraordinary aura.

“If you are free tonight, you may come to our auction house. I believe there must be treasures that will excite you, whether they are rare medicinal herbs, peerless weapons, or exotic treasures. They are all among them and will surely make your trip worthwhile.” The girl's words were full of temptation. Her eyes flashed with sincerity and expectation, as if she had foreseen the upcoming feast.

"Welcome everyone!" After saying this, she bowed again with an elegant and dignified movement, then slowly turned around and left.

And on this night, these colleges all received invitations from the top auction at Starlight Auction House.

The Xing Luo Empire wanted to take advantage of this opportunity to make a fortune from these high-level soul master academies.

Few colleges that can advance to the top 16 will have financial difficulties.

"Xingluo Emperor Starlight Auction House's top auction~" Qiangu Tianzong picked up a golden invitation card casually.

"It seems that the Xing Luo Empire attaches great importance to our Sun Moon Royal Soul Instructor Academy." Ma Rulong picked up an invitation.

"Heh~"

"Take us seriously? They're just treating us as leeks!" Qiangu Tianzong suddenly sneered.

"The largest auction house in the Xing Luo Empire. It would not be possible to have such a scale without the participation of the Xing Luo royal family."

"The people who appear at such top auctions are either rich or noble, including royal family members, princes and nobles, big businessmen, top soul masters, soul mentors, and the like."

"Inviting outsiders like us is nothing more than trying to make more money!"

"With our participation, the competition in the auction will only be greater and the bidding prices will only be higher."

"Tian Zong is right, but there are definitely a lot of good things in here, and the prices are bound to be very high."

"In that case, forget about the intelligence! Tomorrow's opponent won't be very strong, so there's no need for any tactics."

"Then let's go and see what's on offer at the Star Luo Empire's top auction!" Lin Jiayi stood up.

……

Hall No. 1 of the Starlight Auction House, both in terms of decoration and other aspects, is far superior to the auction house that Qiangu Tianzong had been to before in the Starlight Auction House.

In the VIP room No. 2, all the staff of the Sun Moon Royal Soul Instructor Academy were present. Well, Ji Juechen and Li Lin were also here, and Qiangu Tianzong took the invitations of the two reserve team members for them.

Of course he made up for it a little.

The two happily accepted the compensation from Qiangu Tianzong. They were very self-aware, and with their financial resources, they would just be watching.

Perhaps if they rejected Qiangu Tianzong, they would dislike this legend of the academy whom they respected. And if this good deed could earn them a little favor from Qiangu Tianzong, that would be their chance.

Although it is rare to participate in such an auction, compared to the benefits they can get, they still choose the latter.

The room was extremely luxurious. Except for Lin Jiayi and Qiangu Tianzong, none of the people present from the Sun and Moon Royal Soul Instructor Academy had ever participated in an auction of this level.

When Qiangu Tianzong and Lin Jiayi were in the Sun Moon Empire, they followed Jing Hongchen to participate in the Sun Moon Glory Top Auction. Because Xiao Hongchen and Meng Hongchen were practicing, Jing Hongchen did not take them to the auction because he felt that it was not the right time.

Qiangu Tianzong took the initiative to beg Jing Hongchen to take him there.

His ninth-level soul guide was auctioned when Jing Hongchen took him to the top auction house.
