Douluo: The Peerless King of Beast Tamers

Chapter 151 The Soul-Eating Ferocious Sword
That afternoon, everyone from Shrek Academy went in groups of three or four to the most prosperous streets and shops in Xingluo City to eat, drink and have fun in this magnificent and spacious city.

Nowadays, Xingluo City is packed with people. Ever since the start of the Continental Advanced Soul Master Academy Soul Fighting Competition, the originally vast Xingluo City has become crowded.

Especially on the streets near Xingluo Square, there is never a time when they are not crowded. Every day, many people gather to play and wait for the competition to start soon.

Zhou Sichen did not go out with Ye Guyi and the others, but took Dai Yaoheng out with him.

Ye Guyi and a few other girls were shopping together. In order to avoid being drafted, Zhou Sichen had already brought Dai Yaoheng out with her.

As they walked, Zhou Sichen looked at Dai Yuheng: "Yuheng, how are the arrangements going?"

Dai Yuheng nodded and said, "It has been arranged. There will be an auction today, but they are just some low-level soul guides, far inferior to the ones you made for us."

Zhou Sichen smiled and said, "It's okay. I'm just going to take a look. I'm sorry to bother you."

Dai Yuheng waved his hand and said, "Captain, you are being too polite. After all, this is where I once lived. No one knows this place better than me. It is my honor to be your guide."

Dai Yuheng's words were not meant to be a compliment, but came from the bottom of his heart. Over the past year or so, Zhou Sichen had already conquered all of them.

Hearing Dai Yuheng's words, Zhou Sichen smiled and said, "Stop flattering me and go take a look."

Dai Yaoheng laughed and took Zhou Sichen through several streets, and soon they arrived in front of a building.

This building is not conspicuous. Compared with the tall buildings around it, although it is not small in size, it does not stand out very much.

Above the main entrance of the building, there is a sign hanging with a hammer pattern on it. Below the hammer is a golden table pattern with the five large characters "Starlight Auction House" written in a flamboyant style.

If you only look at it from the outside, you might think it is a very small auction house. After all, the building area does not look large. But when you actually enter it, you will find that it is a different world.

Because the auction house is underground rather than above ground, the building is merely its entrance.

In other words, this auction house, with just one entrance, is already extremely huge.

Zhou Sichen followed Dai Yuheng into the auction hall. A five-meter-wide staircase covered with red carpet extended downwards, and there was no staff outside to guide them.

We went straight down, about twenty meters deep, before we reached the registration place.

Dai Yaoheng took out a black token, and the registration staff immediately became enthusiastic when they saw it.

Dai Yaoheng asked calmly, "Is that ranking knife still being auctioned?"

The registration staff was slightly stunned, then quickly glanced at the auction and immediately replied: "Dear guest, are you asking about the Soul Devouring Carving Knife?"

Dai Yuheng nodded and asked, "Which auction house will be selling the carving knife today?"

The staff shook his head and said, "Although this Soul Devouring Carving Knife is a valuable one on the list, due to its fierce nature, it has been auctioned more than ten times since it came to our Starlight Auction House. Therefore, it is not being auctioned today. The next auction of the Soul Devouring Carving Knife should be in three days."

Hearing this, Dai Yuheng frowned slightly, and after a moment he said, "Please ask your supervisor to come over, I'll talk to him."

The staff nodded and asked someone to call the supervisor. She continued, "Then please come with me to the reception room and wait for a moment."

Afterwards, Dai Yuheng and Zhou Sichen followed the staff to the reception room.

On the way, they passed through an ancient wooden door, and the scene suddenly changed. All they could see was a golden scene.

A wide corridor was magnificent and its decoration was even more luxurious than the Star King Hotel where they were staying.

The passage is more than ten meters wide, and the ground is paved with precious white jade bricks. Every ten meters on both sides, there is a pair of pillars carved with the same material and with magnificent patterns.

At the top of the corridor, luxurious crystal chandeliers hung down, but they did not feel oppressive at all, because the height of the corridor was five meters high.

The light is soft and bright yellow, and against the golden walls on both sides, the three-dimensional golden world is enough to dazzle anyone.

The reception room was even more luxurious. Zhou Sichen looked at Dai Yuheng and laughed, "It seems that you are treated well as a black VIP."

Dai Yuheng picked up a piece of fruit and started eating it. "These are just the benefits left by my parents. I have been in the academy for the past few years and have no chance to get these things."

Zhou Sichen lay on the soft soul beast fur sofa and replied: "What you got in the academy is more precious than these gold and silver."

Dai Yuheng naturally agreed with this, but what puzzled him more was why Zhou Sichen wanted that soul-devouring knife?
The Soul Guidance Department's courses introduced a list of one hundred engraved knives, so Dai Yuheng was also familiar with this soul-devouring murderous knife.

This Soul-Devouring Knife has a history of more than 3,000 years. It is said to be the masterpiece of a powerful evil soul master in his later years. According to legend, this evil Soul-Devouring Knife contains a trace of the soul of the genius evil soul master back then, which will lead people to evil.

It can only be used by those with weak wills, as every one of its owners has ended up with a tragic death.

Therefore, its ranking has been falling again and again. It was originally high enough to be ranked in the top 30, or even higher, but now it has reached the point where it can no longer fall.

It is only because of its history and past glory that it has never been removed from the list of engraving knives.

What does Zhou Sichen do with such a notorious list-carving knife?

What's more, Zhou Sichen already holds the Zhiyang Carving Knife, which is ranked 78th on the list of carving knives. How could he be interested in the carving knife that is ranked 99th?

Is it really just for collection?

Dai Yueheng thought about it and couldn't help but said, "Captain, this Soul Devouring Blade has a terrible reputation. Do you really want it?"

Zhou Sichen smiled when he heard this.

Of course he wanted it, otherwise why would he be in such a hurry to come to the Starlight Auction House?
Others don’t know the true identity of the Soul-Devouring Knife, they only know that it is an evil and vicious knife, but Zhou Sichen knows very well that this is a piece of living gold.

With this piece of gold of life, Yi Lao can become his third martial soul, and Zhou Sichen can also successfully master Yi Lao's undead magic. By then, the so-called evil soul masters will be playthings in his hands.

Zhou Sichen could deal with anything that had anything to do with undead magic. And after purifying the Soul Devouring Knife, it became a top-level ranking knife, which was a win-win situation.

But Zhou Sichen naturally couldn't say it, and only explained: "Although it is a vicious knife, I believe that my ultimate ice can suppress it, so that it can become a top-level carving knife in my hands again!"

Dai Yuheng was stunned for a moment, then smiled helplessly: "I see, I was wondering if you, Captain, really like such a vicious knife."

People in Shrek's inner courtyard have become superstitious about Zhou Sichen, and even a genius like Dai Yuheng is no exception.

As long as Zhou Sichen said it was okay, he had no reason to doubt it.

Because all the doubts had been gradually eliminated over the past year or so.

In their hearts, Zhou Sichen has become a man who does what he says and is comparable to a "god".

So when Zhou Sichen found Dai Yuheng and asked him for help, this guy agreed without hesitation and didn't even ask what he wanted to do.

The reason for looking for Dai Yueheng is because he is from the Xingluo Empire and the eldest son of the White Tiger Duke's Mansion. It is convenient for him to do things here and there will be no trouble.

Soon, while the two were chatting, a middle-aged man in exquisite clothes walked in.

When he saw Dai Yaoheng, the middle-aged man was stunned for a while, then asked tentatively: "Are you... Yaoheng?"

Dai Yuheng smiled slightly: "Uncle Xu, it's me. I haven't seen you for many years, but you are still as charming as ever."

After getting a positive answer, Xu Cheng instantly became energetic and hurriedly pulled Dai Yuheng and Zhou Sichen to sit down.

The two seemed to be very familiar with each other and had a close relationship. After a brief exchange of a few words, Xu Cheng guessed Dai Yuheng's current identity.

Xu Cheng smiled wisely: "Yuheng, with your talent, you should be representing Shrek in the competition now, right?"

Dai Yaoheng smiled slightly: "Uncle Xu is indeed a man of great insight."

Xu Cheng looked at Zhou Sichen: "Who is this?"

Dai Yueheng explained: "This is our captain, Zhou Sichen."

Zhou Sichen stretched out his hand and shook hands with Xu Chengxu.

When Xu Cheng heard Dai Yuheng's words, he couldn't help but mutter in his heart. He knew Dai Yuheng's talent too well. Zhou Sichen's ability was evident from the fact that he was able to surpass Dai Yuheng and become the captain of the Shrek team.

Although Zhou Sichen is only thirteen years old now, his development has far surpassed his peers because he has absorbed so many ten thousand year soul rings and top-level soul bones. His appearance and temperament look very mature.

As long as Zhou Sichen didn't say it himself, no one would know that he was only thirteen years old.

So after Dai Yuheng said Zhou Sichen was the captain, Xu Cheng became even more enthusiastic and kept praising him.

After Zhou Sichen chatted with him for a few words, he directly put forward his request: "This time, I came here for the Soul Devouring Fierce Knife. To be honest, I am also a soul guide, and I want to collect some ranking knives."

“Although it is a bit excessive to buy it from the inside without going through an auction, I am willing to spend more money to buy it, just hoping that my wish can be fulfilled.”

When Xu Cheng heard Zhou Sichen's words, he had already thought of it before he came. When the staff told him that someone came for the Soul-Devouring Knife, he was very happy at that time.

This Soul-Devouring Carving Knife has been on the Starlight Auction House for such a long time and has been unsold for more than ten times. Now that someone has taken the initiative to collect it, he is naturally very happy.

Moreover, he did not expect to see Dai Yuheng, which was a pleasant surprise.

Xu Cheng nodded without hesitation: "It's okay, regardless of anything else, you are Yuheng's friend, so I should help you with this."

"But I need to remind you that this Soul Devouring Knife is very special. Even if you are able to use it, remember not to use it for a long time."

"If you encounter other unexpected situations due to the problem with this Soul Devouring Carving Knife, we will not be responsible."

Zhou Sichen smiled slightly: "I understand."

Xu Cheng didn't waste any more words: "How about this, the starting price of the Soul Devouring Carving Knife is 100,000 gold soul coins, but it has been auctioned off many times and has not been sold. You give me 80,000 gold soul coins, and I will sell this carving knife to you alone."

Hearing this, Zhou Sichen was delighted, and at the same time, there was a bit more surprise in his eyes when he looked at Xu Cheng.

I didn't expect that this person had so much power in the Starlight Auction House. Not only could he sell the items, he also had the right to offer discounts.

Dai Yaoheng explained with a smile: "Although Uncle Xu is only a Soul Saint, he is one of the few Level 7 Soul Instructors in the empire. He was the one who brought out this Soul Devouring Carving Knife."

Zhou Sichen nodded slightly: "Thank you very much, junior."

Xu Cheng laughed and whispered in Zhou Sichen's ear, "I look forward to your performance in the competition. I secretly bet all my savings on you, Shrek. Please don't let me suffer any loss."

Zhou Sichen smiled evilly when he heard this: "It seems that after this time, your assets should double."

Xu Cheng laughed: "That's impossible. Everyone knows that Shrek is number one on the list. There are too many people betting and the odds are too low. Although it is guaranteed to make money, it won't be much."

Upon hearing this, Zhou Sichen and Dai Yaoheng smiled at each other and said nothing more.

Betting on Shrek to win is almost certain, so the odds are low. But in the round-robin tournament, it is not always a win-all, so the odds of the round-robin tournament are okay.

Zhou Sichen suddenly had an idea. Shrek's final championship was naturally impossible to change, but the games in the round-robin tournament could be manipulated.

Play a few games in the round-robin tournament to show off, so that everyone thinks Shrek will win. Then just lose two games, and money will come like water.

But if you do this, you will easily be criticized by others, and it may even damage Shrek's reputation...
