Douluo: The Holy Radiance of the Dragon King

"Fortune and wealth have always been sought amidst danger. There are certainly perils, but there's no need to worry too much. It won't start until at least next year."

Feng Zaixing looked directly into Yu Xin's worried eyes, and chatted and laughed as if nothing had happened.

Yu Xin was puzzled and asked, "Why?"

"Good things need time to be digested. If we bring them here now, wouldn't it be a waste of the precious items we spent money on?"

Feng Zaixing sealed the Qirong Tongtian Chrysanthemum in a jade box, put it into his storage ring, and joked:

"In another year, I will be a Soul Master. Sister, be careful I don't catch up with you."

"Dream on. I'm only a little bit away from the fourth ring, and I can fuse with my second soul spirit at any time; a year is enough time for me to complete the One-Word Battle Armor."

Yu Xin raised her head high, but in her heart she was thinking that it was time for her to put all her energy into cultivation.

My younger brother is full of energy; I can't let my older sister catch up with him.

Feng Zaixing really wanted to ask Yu Xin whether she made her own battle armor or if her family helped her, but after thinking about it, he didn't say anything. Sooner or later, he would have his own chance to make a difference.

The last item up for auction wasn't a rare and precious material, but it was more valuable than many rare and precious materials.

The moment this last treasure appeared, almost everyone's expression changed.

A soul bone with a high age limit of ten thousand years!

The soul guide screen projected light and shadows that came from afar. Inside the crystal box lay a miniature human skeleton, completely transparent, with what appeared to be a dark red liquid constantly flowing within it, occasionally emitting light.

"As you can see, this is a right leg bone from a 50,000-year-old demonic orca, a dominant soul beast of the ocean. Its value in this era is self-evident. You may enjoy it for three minutes."

The auctioneer's words were very brief this time. After speaking, he bowed and stepped aside.

He didn't need to say much more. The gathering places of soul beasts on the mainland were almost extinct, and the soul beasts in the near seas were either dead or fled. Only the vast ocean had abundant soul beast resources. New soul bones were far scarcer than in ancient times, and they were always snapped up every time they appeared.

However, this time, none of the people in Box 1 had the intention to bid.

After all, three treasures have already been auctioned off; going too far is as bad as not going far enough.

Na'er asked in a low voice, "Sister Yu, who do you think will buy this soul bone?"

Yu Xin pondered for a moment, then slowly said, "It's either the Chen family in VIP room number two or the Shen family in VIP room number four. The martial souls of these two families are related to the water attribute."

"That's it, the Shen family definitely can't compete with the Chen family. There's a young master from Commander Chen's family next door." Luan Hongchen said with a smile, looking like he was enjoying the show.

Kong Yao corrected, "That's not how you say it. Chen Zeyu is over forty years old, a Title Douluo, and a Federal Major General. He doesn't like the label of Chen Xinjie's son."

"I understand the logic, of course."

Luan Hongchen became serious, abandoning his joking manner, and shook his head with a sigh: "I know that before this kid became a major general, he had been working his way up from the bottom in other legions. He has the ability. He was only transferred to the Sea God Legion by Chen Xinjie three years ago."

"On his first day in the Poseidon Legion, Chen Xinjie publicly announced that he was his son. Now all his past efforts have been in vain. Everyone who sees him says, 'Like father, like son,' which makes him furious and desperately try to prove that he can do without Chen Xinjie."

"But his talent is far inferior to Chen Xinjie's, and he'll find it hard to shake off the label of 'son of the Vast Ocean Douluo' for the rest of his life. Sigh... it's not easy..."

Upon hearing this, Feng Zaixing pondered, thinking to himself that Chen Xinjie was indeed a follower of the Sea God, their paths were the same.

Chen Zeyu's efforts were wiped out by the phrase "Son of the Vast Ocean Douluo," and Tang Wulin's achievements were no match for "Son of the Sea God Tang San."

However, Chen Xinjie doesn't mind killing all Shrek people except Long Yeyue. He is also a leading figure in the hawkish faction, and there is currently considerable room for cooperation. He can be used but not trusted.

The auction began, and as Luan Hongchen had predicted, the 50,000-year-old soul bone fell into the hands of Chen Zeyu in Box 2, while Box 4 bid nearly 300 million before giving up.

Luan Hongchen clicked his tongue and shook his head, laughing, "That girl Shen Xing must be really upset tonight. She didn't manage to win any of the treasures she wanted, haha..."

"You old lecher," Kong Yao pointed at him, his lips quickly twitching, "but this is quite funny, hahaha..."

The auction concluded successfully, and Yue Zhengzhong from Box 3 took the initiative to visit Box 1.

Mu Ye, disguised as Zhen Hua, walked out of the No. 1 private room in front of everyone, took out thirty Life-Giving Fruits, and handed them to Feng Zaixing on his behalf.

"This is just a small token of my appreciation; I hope the old man stays in good health."

"Thank you for your gift, Your Majesty. The Yue family will certainly repay you handsomely. We also wish Your Majesty's forging skills will reach new heights, for the entire Soul Master world depends on your Heavenly Forging..."

The master craftsman presented a gift, and Yue Zhengzhong was flattered and grateful, leaving without a trace of dissatisfaction that his item had been snatched away.

The face given by the master craftsman must be accepted.

When military families saw that it was "Zhenhua," they all came to greet him. Makino responded with ease and without the slightest flaw.

In VIP room number four, Shen Xing looked dejected, but she had to force a smile as she watched the people in VIP room number one leave.

Seeing her younger sister's pale face, Shen Yue felt a sense of helplessness and patted her head to comfort her:

"Who can blame us for the Yu family's sharp eye? They established a good relationship with the master craftsman early on. We can only envy them. Xiaoxing, it's irrational for you to compete with them. Don't do that next time."

Shen Xing bit her lip and said angrily, "If our family also had a good relationship with a master craftsman, our ranking among the five great families would definitely rise."

Shen Yue gently shook her head. If there really was such an opportunity, the Shen family would be willing to pay any price. But how easy is it to produce a master craftsman?

Moreover, the top three families each have strong foundations, and even if the Shen family produces a master craftsman, it is impossible for them to catch up in one generation.

"The Yu, Chen, and Le families have stood for a thousand years. In this generation of the Shen family, apart from me, there is no one who can stand alone. You must all work hard to maintain the family's prestige."

……

Following the special passage out of the grand auction house, Feng Zaixing, observing the many auction halls along the way with great interest, asked:

"The things here are really nice. Are there any other treasures?"

Yu Xin glanced at him and asked leisurely, "What? Isn't spending so much money enough?"

"Money only has value when it's spent. I'm contributing to society and promoting consumption," Feng Zaixing said earnestly.

"Then it's up to you. With this token, you can enter any small auction house or go to the Treasure Club to admire treasures at any time."

Yu Xin took out a token with the character "Yu" engraved on the front and a picture of a magic brush on the back and gave it to Feng Zaixing.

"Look carefully, don't be a sucker."

"Thanks, Na'er, let's go. Tell your brother what you want." Feng Zaixing drifted away.

"Yes, brother is the best."

"Slow down, Zaixing..."

Feng Zaixing called out, grabbed Na'er, and skipped away from the group. Mu Ye, who had returned to his original form, quickly followed.

Yu Xin stood there stunned for a moment. Her little brother was taking another girl to play with her pass, but not her. Was that right?

"You'd better become a quasi-god in a few decades and sleep with one eye open, otherwise even if you're a divine craftsman, I'll still beat you up."

Yu Xin gritted her teeth. This was the second time today that Feng Zaixing had managed to break her composure, a testament to her usually calm and collected nature.
