Douluo Continent: Steadily Growing Stronger in Shrek Academy

Chapter 72 Undercurrents

With a wave of his hand, the Netherworld's left arm bone disappeared again, replaced by a crossbow.

Looking at the crossbow, Lin Chen frowned slightly and whispered, "Is this the Zhuge Divine Crossbow?"

I remember Huo Yuhao even modified this thing a bit, I never expected it to be auctioned off.

It's obvious that they have Shrek's support.

"This weapon is called the Zhuge Divine Crossbow Cannon. It is a combination of the Tang Clan's hidden weapon, the Zhuge Divine Crossbow, and a soul guide device. It not only inherits the characteristics of the Tang Clan's Zhuge Divine Crossbow, but also possesses advanced soul guide technology."

"I'm sure everyone is wondering, since the Zhuge Divine Crossbow Cannon is far less valuable than the Source of Gold, and even less valuable than the Netherworld Left Arm Bone, why is it being auctioned after the other two?"

This elder of the Sea God Pavilion also kept everyone in suspense.

"This is because the auction is for one hundred Zhuge Divine Crossbows. Whoever wins the bid will have one hundred Zhuge Divine Crossbows made for their family by Shrek Academy and Tang Sect. These Zhuge Divine Crossbows are different from ordinary soul tools. They inherit the excellent characteristics of Tang Sect's hidden weapons, which is that ordinary people can also use them. After improvements, the power of the Zhuge Divine Crossbows has also been greatly increased. It is impossible for anyone below the Soul King level to withstand its attack."

Lin Huiqun spoke at length, which was unusual for him. Lin Chen didn't believe that there was no decision made by the Shrek Academy's higher-ups in his speech.

"Next, please invite someone from the Tang Clan to demonstrate how to use the Zhuge Divine Crossbow."

Two masked figures walked onto the auction stage; one had blue and pink hair, and the other had green pigtails.

"Xiao Xiao!" Lin Xiaolei exclaimed. As Xiao Xiao's sister who had been like a sworn sister to her for so many years, Lin Xiaolei recognized her immediately.

"Is that Wang Dong over there?" Lin Xiaolei asked Lin Chen.

Lin Chen nodded and said, "I didn't expect that Xiao Xiao was preparing funds for the sect."

The two stopped talking and started watching the demonstration.

Lin Huiqun pressed a button, and instantly a wall rose from the ground, standing in front of Wang Dong and Xiao Xiao.

"This wall is inlaid with a defensive soul tool, which can achieve the defensive power of a Soul King."

Everyone's attention then shifted to Wang Dong and Xiao Xiao.

Wang Dong and Xiao Xiao exchanged a glance, nodded, and then pulled the trigger of the Zhuge Divine Crossbow Cannon.

The arrow shot out and pierced through the wall instantly.

Everyone was dumbfounded.

After the presentation, Wang Dong and Xiao Xiao left the display stand.

"Starting price: 400 gold soul coins each!" Lin Huiqun announced the starting price immediately without saying anything more.

"Five hundred gold soul coins!"

"Six hundred gold soul coins!"

"One thousand gold soul coins!" The voice of the Nine Treasure Glazed Tile School Master rang out again in the arena.

Although the Zhuge Divine Crossbow is limited in quantity, one thousand gold soul coins for one Zhuge Divine Crossbow is already an astronomical price, and at this moment, no one in the arena is bidding.

Without a doubt, this item was also acquired by the Nine Treasure Glazed Tile School, since there were very few forces present that could rival the Nine Treasure Glazed Tile School in terms of financial resources.

Even the female titled Douluo from the Cheng family didn't speak again.

"The following is the last item up for auction: a 50,000-year-old White-Eyed Demon Tiger King's soul bone! It's a top-grade soul bone!"

"Starting bid: 10 million gold soul coins!"

"Twenty million gold soul coins!" The Cheng family quoted an astronomical price of twenty million.

The Cheng family's purpose in coming here was to acquire this soul bone, so there was no need to hide anything. They directly quoted a price of 20 million. In any case, the final price would not be lower than 20 million, so they might as well raise the price directly and give the other bidders a warning.

"Twenty-five million gold soul coins!" A cold female voice rang out once again from the private room of the Nine Treasure Glazed Tile School.

"Ning Feng'er!" The female titled Douluo of the Cheng family could no longer sit still. A powerful aura instantly erupted, locking onto the sect master of the Nine Treasure Glazed Tile School.

"If Miss Cheng wishes to have a friendly spar, I am happy to oblige."

Similarly, the Title Douluo beside Ning Feng'er also unleashed a powerful aura, colliding with the aura of the Cheng family's female Title Douluo.

Ning Feng'er instantly felt all the pressure on her body vanish.

"Alright, thirty million gold soul coins!" The Cheng family made another bid.

"Since Miss Cheng values ​​this soul bone so much, I have no choice but to reluctantly part with it and give it to Miss Cheng." After saying this, he stopped offering a price.

"Xiao Tu, do you want this soul bone?" Lin Xiaolei asked Lin Chen. In her opinion, this soul bone should be an offensive soul bone, which is perfect for Lin Chen's Seven Kill Sword Martial Soul, since the Seven Kill Sword is known for its offensive capabilities.

Lin Chen shook his head and said, "This soul bone is not suitable for me. Although it comes from a tiger-type soul beast, I have never absorbed the soul ring of the White-Eyed Demon Tiger King, so I should probably give it up."

Lin Xiaolei then gave up the idea of ​​making a move.

Moreover, even if they obtain it, other forces wouldn't dare to do anything to them. This is Shrek City; who would dare to assassinate a Shrek student in public?

As for other Soul Masters, they are even less likely to be able to afford the money. Even if they could afford it, whether they would have the chance to leave with the treasure was another matter entirely.

The auction hall was filled with a tense atmosphere. Everyone looked at each other, as if trying to memorize each other's presence.

"Alright, this auction is now over. Everyone, take your number tags to pay, then collect your items and leave," Lin Huiqun said, before disappearing in the next instant.

"Let's go, Xiao Tu," Lin Xiaolei said.

Lin Chen nodded and followed Lin Xiaolei to pay for and collect the purchased items.

"Please show your auction number," the staff member said, stopping Lin Chen and his companion.

Lin Xiaolei handed over her number plate.

After checking and confirming that everything was in order, the staff member let the two pass and gestured for them to come with him, saying, "Please come with me, your belongings are over here."

After quickly paying, Lin Xiaolei packed her belongings into her storage soul tool and left the auction house.

Just as she was about to return to the academy, Lin Chen stopped her and asked, "Xiao Lei, do you want to go see what's going on?"

Lin Xiaolei was a smart woman, and she immediately understood Lin Chen's meaning, saying, "You mean..."

Lin Chen nodded.

"Okay, let's go take a look!"

The two hit it off immediately, each donning a black outfit and disappearing into the night. Under Lin Chen's spiritual concealment, their presence vanished completely, as if they had never existed.

"These two little ones are quite bold." In the VIP room of Jubaoge, Lin Huiqun looked through the window at Lin Chen and Lin Xiaolei, who were walking quickly in the night.

"Sect Master, everything has been ordered, nothing has been forgotten," a servant said to Ning Feng'er.

"Yes, Mr. Feng, thank you for your hard work this time. We need to be wary of those with ill intentions."

Old Feng is the level 91 titled Douluo who was just at the auction.
