Douluo Continent: Steadily Growing Stronger in Shrek Academy

Chapter 69 Auction?

Hearing Lin Chen's evaluation of her, Wang Dong also fell into deep thought.

Wang Qiu'er seemed to sense something and looked towards Lin Chen. When she saw Wang Dong, she couldn't help but be surprised.

Isn't this just the male version of myself?

Looking at Wang Dong and then at Wang Qiu'er, Lin Chen would have almost thought they were siblings if he didn't know the plot.

Some classmates noticed the resemblance between Wang Dong and Wang Qiu'er, so they all ran over to Wang Dong and asked, "Wang Dong, is this your sister? You two look so alike!"

Wang Qiu'er's beating of Cao Jinxuan just now left a deep impression on everyone, and now no one dares to provoke her. Compared to Wang Qiu'er, Wang Dong, as their classmate for several years, is undoubtedly much closer to her.

Looking at the classmates surrounding Wang Dong, Lin Chen felt overwhelmed. He himself was sitting right next to Wang Dong. Seeing that more and more classmates were gathering around, Lin Chen simply stood up and sat down next to Wang Qiu'er, where there were fewer people.

As soon as she sat down, Wang Qiu'er asked, "Who is he?"

"Wang Dong, if you want to get to know him, go and get to know him yourself," Lin Chen said casually, then ignored Wang Qiu'er and picked up his book to read.

Wang Qiu'er glanced deeply in Wang Dong's direction, then quickly resumed her previous calm expression and began reading.

Fortunately, the two sisters haven't sparked any romance these days.

But no one can say for sure, since all it takes is a trigger, and that trigger is not currently at Shrek Academy.

The class period passed quickly.

Looking at Wang Qiu'er beside him, Lin Chen really wanted to thank her. Her power of destiny had actually allowed his soul power to rise two levels under the influence of the ultimate attribute.

He leveled up so quickly that it seemed as if the phenomenon of extremely slow cultivation of ultimate attributes did not exist for him.

After class, Lin Chen still went to eat with Lin Xiaolei.

"Speaking of which, Xiao Xiao is getting busier and busier. She doesn't even go out to eat with us anymore," Lin Xiaolei said.

"Why?" Lin Chen asked. Nothing much had happened at Shrek Academy recently, and he hadn't seen Xiao Xiao this busy before.

"It seems like something's happened to her sect. What's her name... what's her name..."

"Tang Clan".

"Yes, yes, it's the Tang Clan. It seems like something happened at the Tang Clan recently, so they called her over," Lin Xiaolei said.

"Are you planning to join a sect?" Lin Chen suddenly asked.

"Why do you ask that? I won't join if the celebrities don't join," Lin Xiaolei replied.

"It's nothing, just asking casually. Let's go." After saying that, Lin Chen quickened his pace and walked towards the cafeteria, and Lin Xiaolei hurriedly followed.

"Xiao Tu, it seems there's an auction at Jubao Pavilion tonight," Lin Xiaolei said, swallowing a mouthful of rice.

Lin Chen also became interested; he had never seen such an occasion in both his two lifetimes combined.

So he decided to go and join in the fun, to see what it was like, and asked, "An auction? Xiaolei, are you going?"

"Of course I'll go! Maybe I'll find something I like!" Lin Xiaolei said.

"I'm going too, want to come together?"

"Okay!" Lin Xiaolei readily agreed, then complained about the little girl Xiao Xiao, "That Xiao Xiao is so busy that she doesn't even go to the auction."

During every auction, countless powerful individuals and forces inevitably clash over resources, making it essential to bring several defensive soul tools.

"By the way, do you have tickets?" Lin Chen asked somewhat embarrassedly. He had only just found out about this and didn't have any tickets yet.

"Oh, no need, no need. Shrek Academy students don't need tickets. The Treasure Pavilion is an academy's property," Lin Xiaolei said.

I almost forgot about that. Jubaoge was originally the property of Haishenge, and it seems to be managed by an elder named Lin Huiqun.

"Okay, I'm going back to my dorm now." After quickly finishing a few bites of food, Lin Chen left.

As night fell, Lin Chen arrived at the Shrek Academy East Gate, where he had arranged to meet Lin Xiaolei.

"Xiao Tu! Over here!" Lin Xiaolei waved to Lin Chen.

Lin Chen also walked towards Lin Xiaolei.

The two entered the city by car and arrived at the entrance of Jubaoge. They showed their identities as core disciples of the outer academy and quickly entered the auction hall.

"What do you want to buy?" Lin Chen asked Lin Xiaolei as soon as he sat down.

"I don't know, let's see if there's anything I like," Lin Xiaolei said casually.

"Hey Xiaotu, is there anything you want as a treasure?"

"I'm just here to broaden my horizons. I can't afford any of those things," Lin Chen replied truthfully. Although he was currently well-off, the items being auctioned were considered luxury goods for him, and he genuinely couldn't afford them.

"It's nothing, whatever you want, I'll pay for it," Lin Xiaolei said, patting her chest.

Lin Chen smiled but didn't say anything. If he really encountered some treasure, he wouldn't be polite to Lin Xiaolei.

The guests who came to attend the auction arrived one after another.

Those who can participate in this kind of auction are nothing more than some powerful individuals or families with influence, and the only others are Shrek Academy students. Ordinary people are not qualified to participate in such events.

The auction began soon.

"Welcome to the Jubaoge Auction House, everyone. I am your auctioneer today, Hu Jiu. The auction is about to begin, please be patient!" A voluptuous female auctioneer stood on the auction stage and said.

Lin Chen used his mental power to silently probe the strength of the people present.

Everyone who can enter this place is a Soul Master, and the items they buy can only be used by Soul Masters.

Lin Chen was confident that, apart from Super Douluo and some special mental-type Soul Masters, no one present could detect his mental power.

After a brief assessment, I learned that the strongest person here was a level 92 Title Douluo, followed by a level 91 Title Douluo. They were sitting in different private rooms, presumably from different family factions.

Next up are the level 89 Soul Douluos. I counted, and there were as many as 20 Soul Douluos present, 5 of whom were level 89. They must have come to see if there were any treasures that could help them break through to the Title Douluo level.

After observing the Soul Saints and Soul Emperors, it became clear that, apart from the Shrek Academy students, almost everyone present possessed cultivation levels above the Soul Emperor level. Only a small portion of these individuals were independent cultivators; the vast majority were standing in a private room alongside the Title Douluos and Soul Douluos.

Although only a small portion of the participants were independent cultivators, they filled the entire ordinary bidding area. The large private rooms could accommodate even more people than the ordinary bidding areas.

Lin Chen carefully used his spiritual power to check the specific level of anything whose soul power was higher than his own. He just needed to be safe!

"Our first item up for auction tonight is a level-two soul-guided thruster!"
