Douluo: The Peerless King of Beast Tamers

Chapter 170 Wang Dong Takes Action
In the extremely luxurious top-level auction hall of the Starlight Auction House, the lights are bright, illuminating the entire space like daylight.

The hall was packed with wealthy people, powerful people and representatives of forces from all over the continent gathered together just to witness the ownership of the many rare treasures in this auction.

Everyone from Shrek Academy sat in the VIP seats, their eyes closely following the auction hammer in the auctioneer's hand, not missing any treasure that might be closely related to the development of the academy.

The auction proceeded in an orderly manner, and precious items were sold one after another.

Dai Yueheng stood tall and straight with a determined look in his eyes. He participated in the auction in his personal capacity for the eighth-level soul guide weapon equipped with a fused soul bone - the Tyrant Tiger Soul Refining Sword.

As soon as the knife appeared, it caused a burst of exclamations from the audience. The powerful aura it exuded seemed to be able to cut through the surrounding air.

During the bidding process, Dai Yuheng did not back down in the face of bids from many competitors, and each time he increased the price, he was decisive and firm.

In the end, when the auctioneer made the final decision, he successfully won the Tyrant Tiger Soul Refining Sword for 1.56 million gold soul coins.

He knew very well that this knife would not only enhance his own strength, but also provide him with an extra trump card for future battles.

Cao Jinxuan kept Zhou Sichen's instructions in mind and stared intently at the twelve level six fixed-type soul guide shells with different attributes.

These shells are arranged on a special display stand, exuding a mysterious and dangerous aura, and each one contains enormous energy.

When bidding, Cao Jinxuan calmly analyzed the bidding rhythm of other bidders and skillfully grasped the opportunity.

After a fierce competition, he followed Zhou Sichen's instructions and successfully captured the twelve fixed-type soul guide shells. He was thinking of taking them back for the teachers in the Soul Guide Department to study, which might bring new breakthroughs to the development of the academy's soul guide technology.

Other people from Shrek Academy also gained something at this auction.

After all, this is a top auction, and the wide variety of treasures allows everyone to find what they want.

Some people took pictures of rare training materials, hoping to break through their own bottlenecks; others obtained unique soul skills secrets, their eyes full of anticipation for improving their strength.

However, just when everyone thought that the surprises of the auction were over, an unexpected situation occurred.

Wang Dong, the seemingly casual "boy" on weekdays, was now fully focused on participating in the bidding for a ten-thousand-year-old left arm soul bone.

The atmosphere on the scene was instantly pushed to a new climax, with bidding sounds coming one after another. Facing numerous competitors, Wang Dong was not at all nervous, and each time he raised the price, he was decisive and straightforward.

In the end, he successfully bought the soul bone at a high price of 1.2 million gold soul coins.

This news was like a bombshell, causing an uproar among everyone in Shrek Academy.

In this top auction, in addition to the two final items replaced by the royal family, there were originally three ten thousand year soul bones of average quality participating in the auction.

Although the soul bone that Wang Dong bought was of average quality among ten thousand year soul bones, it was undoubtedly the best among the three pieces being auctioned.

But everyone was full of doubts. Considering Wang Dong's mysterious identity and the amazing potential shown by his thousand-year-old second soul ring, this grade of ordinary soul bone was of no use to him.

Perhaps only the other qualifying team members from the external college can vaguely guess the answer.

Zhou Sichen was also quite surprised when he heard the news.

Zhou Sichen knew Wang Dong's true identity very well, and he was well aware that with the Haotian Sect's extremely profound foundation, Wang Dong would not need such a soul bone at all.

Then, the only reasonable guess as to why she spent such a huge amount of money to buy this left arm soul bone was that it was for Huo Yuhao who was still cultivating in the academy.

However, Zhou Sichen really couldn’t understand what exactly happened between Wang Dong and Huo Yuhao?
Wang Dong is an extremely arrogant person, but now he spends a huge amount of money for Huo Yuhao and buys a ten thousand year soul bone.

Even though this ten thousand year old soul bone is only of ordinary quality, it is of great use to Huo Yuhao today.

With the blessing of such a soul bone, whether it is to deeply explore his potential or quickly improve his strength, it will play an immeasurable role. Wang Dong was able to do this for Huo Yuhao. If he said that there was nothing special between them, Zhou Sichen would never believe it.

But Zhou Sichen quickly pulled his thoughts back. As long as this matter did not affect his plan, the rest was irrelevant. Let these two little guys get along however they want.

In addition, the last two treasures replaced by the royal family were replaced with two high-quality soul bones.

As soon as these two soul bones appeared, they attracted the attention of everyone in the audience. The powerful aura they exuded moved many people.

In the end, both soul bones were taken by Sun and Moon.

Fortunately, Sun and Moon did not cause any trouble because the information released by the royal family in advance did not match the actual auction items.

After all, being able to obtain two high-quality soul bones of more than 50,000 years level is already a rare and huge gain for them.

After the auction ended successfully, everyone from Shrek Academy returned to the hotel where they were staying with their respective gains.

As soon as they returned to the room, everyone entered a state of training and made final preparations for the upcoming round of 16 eliminations.

They knew very well that the next opponent would be extremely powerful, and every minute and every second of practice was crucial.

After the top sixteen academies were announced, the match lists were also released.

The rules of the round of 16 knockout rounds are that the first-placed college in each group will randomly play against the second-placed college in the group.

This is undoubtedly a huge advantage for the college that qualified as the first in the group from the round-robin tournament.

After all, the academies that can become the first in the group have all demonstrated strong strength and excellent tactical qualities in previous games, while the second one must be relatively weak.

In the round of 16 elimination match, Shrek Academy was faced with an extremely powerful and established academy - Douling Academy.

Douling Academy is the number one academy in the Douling Empire. Its regular team lineup is luxurious, with five Soul Kings and two Soul Masters. Its overall strength is actually enough to firmly rank in the first echelon among the top sixteen.

The reason why Douling Academy fell to second place in the group was because an unexpected dark horse appeared in their round-robin group.

In that crucial match, Douling Academy narrowly lost by one move and only qualified as the second in the group.

Otherwise, with Douling Academy's past strength and performance, it has never fallen out of the first echelon of the group over the years.

Therefore, for Shrek Academy, this match is undoubtedly a truly top-level showdown.

If they still use the qualified players, the chances of defeating the Douling Academy, which has five Soul Kings, will be very slim.

Douling Academy is not a soul master academy in the traditional sense. Many of their students are good at using soul guides in combat.

Imagine if during the game, their players were equipped with triggered invincible shields for defense, then the time control and attack tactics carefully designed by Cao Jinxuan would be greatly reduced in effectiveness, or even difficult to implement.

Judging from the direct strength comparison, Douling Academy has five Soul Kings and two Soul Masters, while the Shrek preliminary team has only six Soul Masters and one Soul Lord. The gap in soul power levels between the two sides is obvious and almost incomparable.

So this time, after the qualifying players saw the matchup list, their mood instantly fell to the bottom and the overall mood became extremely depressed.

The battle to become famous that they have been looking forward to may end in this round of 16 elimination match.

Everyone's heart is filled with anxiety and worry, but at the same time, there is a spirit of not wanting to admit defeat secretly surging in their hearts.
