Douluo Dalu: Immortal Dragon Clan

"Looks like that guy sees us as prey, Moon."

Long Xiaoyao watched Ye Xishui's figure leave with Sheng Yangyue, a slight disappointment flashing through his heart, but he quickly composed himself and said to Mu En.

Mu En felt sorry for Ye Xishui's departure, but he knew he would have a chance to see her again on the field, so he said disdainfully, "She's just a frog in a well. I can crush her with a flick of my wrist."

Next, we'll teach those drug-abusing students of the Sun Moon Empire Academy a lesson!

"What's a good idea?"

"Let's make sure they don't even make it to the semifinals!"

"Isn't this a bit too harsh?"

"Xiaoyao, are you scared?"

"No, I'm worried that we won't be able to leave the Sun Moon Empire by then."

"What's there to be afraid of? The Sun Moon Empire is nothing but a defeated foe of ours!"

The two geniuses made no attempt to hide their conversation from others.

The people from Di'ao Academy didn't say anything when they heard this, they just thought it was normal - everyone had witnessed the talent and strength of these two teenagers.

The Sun Moon Empire students who were passing by looked at the two with displeasure, their eyes filled with hatred as if they wanted to devour them alive!
Mu En and Long Xiaoyao noticed the ill-intentioned glances from those around them, but they didn't care. After chatting for a few more minutes, Mu En turned and walked towards the Shrek team.

In the Shrek Academy team, Zhao Xin saw his junior brother return and asked him to sit down next to him, saying, "It's only the first day, don't be so sure of yourself!"

Upon hearing this, Mu En said nonchalantly, "Senior brother, last time the Sun Moon Empire bullied the weak, this time I will let the opponents participating in the Soul Master Competition know what true disparity and despair are!"

Seeing his junior brother so confident, Zhao Xin didn't bother to dwell on it any longer and simply said, "Just do it. Your senior brother is here."

Inside the private room...

As a titled Douluo, Kong Deming naturally had exceptional hearing, and he overheard the entire conversation between Mu En and Long Xiaoyao.

He said to Sheng Yangyue, "Yangyue, it seems these two are quite arrogant. I wonder if they will still be so flamboyant when they are facing you."

"I'm really looking forward to it too!"

Sheng Yangyue was increasingly looking forward to tomorrow's opening ceremony of the Soul Master Competition.

The auction will begin soon...

The auctioneer brought the first item onto the stage, which was the level-six soul tool that Ye Xishui had just auctioned.

To most people, this might be an excellent soul tool, but to its creator, Ye Xishui, it was nothing more than a defective product.

"I didn't expect the first item to be my soul tool?" Ye Xishui was somewhat surprised.

“That’s normal,” Kong Deming explained. “This auction was originally for Mingde Hall to auction off its obsolete soul tools. According to the rules, you can’t participate in this auction if you manufacture soul tools.”

"But with me with you, the manager will naturally give me face. However, you won't get the auction proceeds; you'll only get the thirty million in the card the manager just gave you."

"I see~" Ye Xishui nodded, not saying anything more, quietly watching the students below the stage frantically scrambling for the defective item on stage, her eyes full of disdain and mockery.

Zhao Xin stared at the soul tools on the stage, a hint of surprise flashing in his eyes: "These aren't actually discarded soul tools? And their quality isn't low for a level six soul tool."

He had thought that the Sun Moon Empire would sell them outdated junk at this auction, but he was surprised to find that there were newly made soul tools, and the quality was quite good.

With this in mind, Zhao Xin prepared to make an offer and acquire it.

Although he looked down on soul tools, bringing some back to the Soul Guidance Academy could serve as compensation for the soul guidance students in his team. But just as he was about to make a bid, the items on the stage had already been successfully auctioned off.

Zhao Xin could only wait for the next item, but the moment the next soul tool was brought up for auction, he was instantly stunned...

Wait a minute, when I didn't want to buy it earlier, it wasn't an obsolete soul tool that appeared; now that I want to buy it, it's a completely obsolete soul tool that's being shown up.

"Xi Shui, it seems your soul tool is quite popular." Sheng Yangyue looked at the calm crowd bidding now and compared it with the crazy bidding scene just now, and said to Ye Xi Shui with emotion.

"They can tell that my newly created soul tool is a brand new item, so they will naturally bid crazy prices, while for these outdated soul tools, everyone will just slowly raise the price."

Ye Xishui said nonchalantly, her gaze fixed on the auction catalog in her hand.

A metal object in the book caught her attention; it was a rare metal that could store three elements.

Isn't this exactly the material prepared specifically for Yang Yue to create a melee soul tool?

Soon, the auctioneer displayed the metal to the crowd.

"This piece of metal is a rare item that a fisherman salvaged from the sea. It can absorb three elements and is truly an exceptional find."

Tomorrow coincides with the opening ceremony of the Soul Master Competition, and His Majesty the Emperor has specially designated this rare metal as the grand finale of the auction, with a starting bid of no less than ten million gold soul coins!

As soon as the auctioneer finished speaking, people in the audience began to place bids.

The first to bid were members of the Star Luo Empire team. They came not only to participate in the Soul Master Competition, but more importantly, to bid for soul tools or rare metals to take back to the empire for in-depth research.

"Star Luo Empire, ten million! Any higher bids?" the auctioneer asked, tapping his gavel.

"Twenty million!"

Ye Xishui immediately raised her sign.

Seeing the only open-door private room bidding, the teacher leading the Star Luo Empire knew the rarity and value of the metal and immediately raised his paddle: "Twenty-five million!"

"Twenty-six million." Ye Xishui then realized that she was short of money. She suddenly remembered that she had given almost all of her money to Yang Yue, leaving herself only twenty-five million. She thought it would be enough, but she did not expect that this was all her savings. She secretly prayed that Xingluo Empire would not raise the price again.

But the more you worry, the worse things get.

The Star Luo Empire raised their paddle again: "Thirty million!"

"Ah!" When Ye Xishui saw the Star Luo Empire continue to raise the price, her eyes showed dissatisfaction as she looked in the direction of the Star Luo team.

That despicable Star Luo Empire!
She didn't blame herself for giving all the money to Sheng Yangyue; instead, she kept cursing the Xingluo team in her heart for not knowing anything and still making a blind bid!

Star Luo Team: 6...

Seeing Ye Xishui in such a predicament, Kong Deming couldn't bear it any longer. As her teacher, he was about to speak when Sheng Yangyue spoke first: "Fifty million!"

As he spoke, he casually tossed the card that Ye Xishui had just handed him back to her, his tone tinged with impatience: "You don't have much money yourself, and you're trying to take it from me."

Ye Xishui took the card and muttered a complaint: "Who knew the Star Luo team would want everything? They're just stupid and have too much money!"

At this auction, the Star Luo team was indeed the most active bidder, accepting almost everything and vying for every item. Their behavior was simply...

When Kong Deming, the teacher, heard Ye Xishui's words, he couldn't help but twitch his lips. In fact, he really wanted to say something like, "Aren't you the same?"

Upon hearing this, the Star Luo team remained silent for a moment before giving up the bidding, and Ye Xishui successfully won the stone.
