Douluo: When Tang Wulin Met Little Huo Niang

Chapter 137 Top Auction

After defeating the two previous quarterfinals, Zhengtian Academy and Douling Royal Advanced Soul Master Academy, no other team in the round-robin tournament could pose a threat to Shrek Academy. Soon, after a few days, not only did Ling Luochen and Dai Yueheng, the two seniors from the inner courtyard, recover their fighting power, but Shrek Academy also ended the round-robin tournament as the first in the group with an excellent record of seven wins.

On the day when the round-robin tournament ended, Wang Yan also drew their opponent for the first round of the knockout round.

Old rival, Zhengtian Academy.

Seeing the opponent's name, all Shrek members breathed a sigh of relief. It was not that they looked down on the opponent. Before Dai Yuheng and Ling Luochen recovered from their injuries, Shrek Academy could easily defeat the opponent with just the reserve team. Now that the Soul Emperor and Soul King had recovered from their injuries, it was impossible for Zhengtian Academy to have any chance of winning.

Just as they were discussing in a relaxed manner in the conference room who should be sent to play in this game, someone knocked gently on the door.

Wang Yan opened the door and was surprised to find that he knew the person who came. It was Qingya, the auctioneer from the previous Starlight Auction.

He asked politely:

"Miss Qingya, what do you want to see us for?"

Qingya smiled and said:
"It's like this. Our Starlight Auction House will hold a top-level auction tonight. This level of auction is usually only held once or twice a year, and only the most distinguished guests are invited by us. Last time, I didn't know that you were from Shrek, the first academy on the continent, and I was very negligent. The boss of our auction house asked me to distribute invitations to you. If you are free tonight, you are welcome to attend this auction. I believe there will be things that you are interested in at today's auction."

As she spoke, she took out a stack of invitations and placed them on the table. Then, she bowed again with a smile on her face and said:
"I won't bother you any more. You are all welcome to come and participate."

Then she slowly backed away, walked out of the room, and closed the door behind her.

Dai Yaoheng picked up an invitation, looked at it carefully, and said:

"It is indeed a top-level auction. This level of auction only happens once or twice a year. I was not eligible to participate before. Only my father or members of the royal family, big merchants, top soul masters, and soul instructors can participate in this level of auction. There are definitely a lot of good things, but the value is also very high. This Starlight Auction House should just be for the sake of making friends with our college, and there is no other intention. Teacher Wang, what do you think?"

Wang Yan looked around at the students and saw hope in almost everyone's eyes. Obviously, they were all very curious about an auction of this level.

Wang Yan smiled slightly.

"Well, everyone has been participating in the competition, so you should relax. However, watch more and talk less, and try to avoid all troubles. Tomorrow's competition is crucial and cannot be affected in any way. After the auction, return to the hotel and rest immediately."

"Yes!"

Everyone's faces immediately showed joy, and their happiness was beyond words.

The last time they went to an auction, they were already full of curiosity about it. However, the last time they participated was just a low-level auction, and the items were just single soul guides. But this time was different. It was a top-level auction, and just by hearing the name, you knew that the things that would appear must be good things.

They didn't really think about getting anything from the auction, what was more important was that they wanted to see it for themselves.

It didn't take too long to arrange the tactics for the game, and then everyone went back to their rooms to practice. After dinner, they changed into ordinary clothes, took the invitation to the Starlight Auction House, and led by Wang Yan, they came to the Starlight Auction House again.

To their surprise, the elegant auctioneer was waiting at the door. She was wearing a black dress, which made her look more noble and elegant under the night light, and her pretty face was full of tenderness.

Wang Yan looked at her and nodded slightly.

"Hello, Auctioneer Qingya, we meet again."

Qingya's face was full of joy.

"Welcome to our distinguished guests." Wang Yan asked curiously:
"How did you know we would come today?"

Qingya shook her head.

"I don't know, but my job is to receive all the distinguished guests. Whether you come or not, I will wait here until the auction officially begins. Please follow me."

As she spoke, she smiled at Wang Yan again and walked in front to lead the way.

Everyone followed and walked into the Starlight Auction Hall.

The situation in the auction hall was the same as that day, and there was no publicity for today's top auction. Led by Qingya, they walked inside this time and soon passed the venue where they participated in the last auction and came to a spacious room.

The room is two hundred square meters in size and is decorated in the utmost luxury, with precious wood, jade, and various decorations that are obviously very expensive everywhere.

After Shrek and the others waited here for a while, the room suddenly darkened. A soft golden light emanated from the soul guide screen at the front of the room, and a pleasant voice sounded.

"Welcome to the Starlight Auction House's top auction. Today, we will present a total of nine precious items to you. The value of the items will be displayed from low to high. I hope you will like them."

A beautiful girl in a red dress appeared in the center of the soul guide screen. She introduced herself with a smile:
"Hello, distinguished guests. I am today's auctioneer Jiujiu. It is my honor to host this top-notch auction. Your time is precious. Our auction will begin now. Now, please appreciate the first item of today."

As she spoke, she smiled sweetly, bowed, and made a gesture of invitation with her right hand. Suddenly, the scene changed, and the soul guide screen on the entire wall showed an object.

Dai Yuheng asked in surprise:

"How can this Jiujiu auctioneer be so polite as to follow the court etiquette of the Xingluo Empire?"

Qingya looked at Dai Yuheng with some surprise.

"This distinguished guest has good eyesight. In fact, auctioneer Jiujiu is the youngest sister of the current emperor of the empire."

Everyone looked at each other, feeling incredible.

Although they all guessed that the Starlight Auction House had a strong background, they did not expect it to be so deep.

What does it mean for a princess to act as auctioneer? This means that this Starlight Auction House probably belongs to the royal family of the Star Luo Empire.

At the same time as being surprised, Xu Jiujiu's voice was also heard.

"The Tyrant Tiger Soul Refining Blade is an eighth-level close-range soul guide. It is made of extremely precious materials, including a right arm bone from a ten-thousand-year-old Tyrant Tiger soul beast, which solidifies its soul bone skill Tyrant Blade Slash and can also increase the attack power of similar soul skills by 50%."

Digression
I really couldn’t hold back after not knowing Dai Yuheng for a long time.

By the way, let me tell you something that makes me even more unbearable. According to my calculations, there was only about two months between the fusion of Lao Huo and Ice Emperor and the auction of Snow Emperor. And Snow Emperor clearly went to find Ice Emperor after the fusion with Ice Emperor, but the two sides did not meet because Ice Emperor had been fused.

In other words, from the time that Xue Di began to transform into a human, to the time that she was discovered by a Titled Douluo (and that Titled Douluo happened to bring a Conferred God Platform with him to carry her away), to the time that she was transported to Xingluo City, and then to the time that Xu Jiawei decided to auction her, it took no more than two months in total.
