Douluo Continent: Peerless Fusion Evolution

Chapter 77 Cuihua!

Li Sansi led Wang Dong'er to the branch headquarters of the Zhatian Gang.

Each empire has its own branch headquarters, but these headquarters are not large and are staffed with outer disciples responsible for miscellaneous tasks.

The Exploding Heaven Gang has extremely strict recruitment standards, which are based entirely on cultivation level.

Over the course of the year, only a few dozen people entered the inner sect, and there were only three protectors, who were usually in charge of various empires.

"Sect Master!" A burly man led several outer disciples running towards Li Sansi.

The burly man's name was Zhao Wudi, a level 66 Soul Emperor, whose Martial Soul was the Mighty Vajra Bear!

As a protector, he had naturally met Li Sansi before.

Li Sansi nodded: "Protector Zhao, take me to see Elder Hai."

"Yes, Sect Master, Elder Hai is waiting for you in the main hall!" Zhao Wudi bowed and said.

Hai Bodong was the only one in the hall at the moment. When he saw Li Sansi arrive, he quickly stood up and said, "Zhao Wudi, you can go down first. I have something to discuss with the sect leader."

"yes!"

Li Sansi pulled Wang Dong'er to a random spot to sit down.

"Elder Hai, you said the Star Luo Royal Family wants to co-host an auction with us?"

Hai Bodong smiled slightly and said, "Young Master, Princess Xu Jiujiu of the Xingluo Royal Family contacted me recently, asking me to hold an auction with them."

Li Sansi took a sip of tea and nodded: "That's possible, but how exactly?"

"After discussion, we decided to hold the auction at the Starlight Auction House, with Princess Xu Jiujiu and I serving as auctioneers."

"Each is responsible for their own auction items. They promised that they wouldn't take a single penny of commission from the auctions; it would all go to us. However, the auction would have to be registered under the Starlight Auction House name!"

Li Sansi sneered, "They've got a good plan. They only give up a venue, but they gain fame. It's not a good deal."

"Old Hai, how's our auction house going?" Li Sansi asked.

Hai Bodong smiled slightly and said, "Our own auction house is definitely not as good as Starlight Auction House, after all, we have only been developing for a short time, which is why I agreed to their request."

That is a problem. The auction house is not grand enough, which may have some impact on its reputation.

Others think your auction house is stingy, the decor isn't grand enough, and they think you're a nouveau riche.

Even if they had good stuff, they wouldn't bring it to your auction house to auction.

After thinking for a moment, Li San said, "Well then, Elder Hai, what I said before is fine, but I need to add one thing, and there's no room for negotiation on this one."

"This auction is jointly organized by the Sky-Breaking Chamber of Commerce and the Starlight Auction House!"

Hai Bodong nodded: "Young Master, I understand. I will send a message to Princess Xu Jiujiu later. I believe they will not refuse."

Li Sansi nodded: "I will be there on the day of the auction. Also, are the items ready this time?"

Hai Bodong nodded and said, "Basic preparations are complete. This time, the auction items include: 100,000-year-old whale glue, 100,000-year-old soul bone, 100,000-year-old immortal herb, and a level nine soul-guided cannonball."

"Young Master, the first three items are fine, they won't be of much use in the short term, but this level nine soul-guided cannon shell is quite powerful."

Li Sansi thought for a moment and felt that what Elder Hai said made sense: "Then forget it, let's just sell the first three items, and don't take the other low-level items."

"We won't make much money. By the way, how's our recruitment going?"

"It's still in progress, and so far it's quite promising, although very few talented disciples are joining."

Wang Dong'er suddenly spoke up: "Why not awaken the souls of those commoners? Although there aren't many with talent, there are many commoners, so there will always be some."

Ok?

"That's a good idea!" Li Sansi's eyes lit up. "Elder Hai, arrange for people to awaken the commoners, but don't disturb the nobles. Bring back those with talent and train them well. As for those with lower soul power, you can also arrange some things for them and treat them as outer disciples."

"Okay, I'll arrange the manpower in a bit."

On the way back to the hotel, Li Sansi couldn't help but pat Wang Dong'er's head and said, "Silly girl, I never thought you could be so smart. You really are my little girlfriend."

Wang Dong'er proudly raised her fair neck, "You think I'm too stupid. You call me a silly goose every day, but I'm not really stupid!"

"Alright, alright! You're not stupid, haha," Li Sansi laughed loudly, pinched his fair cheek, and turned to run away.

"You dare laugh at me? Stop right there, don't run away." The two joked and played around all the way.

Passing by the food stall he had just seen, Li Sansi noticed that the old man had already packed up and didn't think much of it.

In the village of Wooden Gun near Xingluo City.

"Cuihua, in a few days Grandpa will find a Soul Master to help you awaken your Martial Soul." The old man looked at his granddaughter with a loving expression.

"Yes! Grandpa, that Brother Sansi you mentioned is such a good person. When Cuihua grows up, she will repay him." The little girl named Cuihua said earnestly.

"Hehe! Yes, he is a student from Shrek Academy, and he's here to participate in the competition. He's a Soul Master with remarkable talent."

"Cuihua wants to be a Soul Master and compete in tournaments when she grows up!" The little girl's eyes were full of longing.

"Good, good, good! Cuihua will definitely awaken an extraordinary martial spirit." The old man murmured.

A hint of hatred flashed in the old man's eyes. Although that man had abandoned her daughter after seducing her, he was still a powerful Soul Master. He hoped that Cuihua could inherit his Martial Soul.

At Li Sansi's request, the Xingluo Royal Family agreed to jointly hold the auction.

While Li San and Wang Dong'er went out, the others chose to go out and watch the battle.

After all, things aren't as shady as they were in the original story; they can now stand openly in the spectator stands.

The current round-robin tournament is very intense, with each academy starting to show its strength.

Some academies even have Soul King level beings. Although their Soul Ring ratios aren't ideal, they are still very powerful.

The strongest in the reserve team are Bei Bei, Wang Dong'er, and their group, but they are only Soul Masters, so it's not easy for them to face a Soul King.

These trainees put a lot of pressure on them, except for Li Sansi, of course.

At this moment, Bei Bei, who was in the spectator stands, said, "There are quite a few strong people from other academies. Even a Soul King has appeared."

After calming himself down, Xu Sanshi regained his composure and said dismissively, "So what if I'm a Soul King? If we really fight, we might not necessarily lose. You're not scared, are you?"

Beibei said, "What did you say? I'm not afraid. I just think they are very strong. If a team has a Soul King, then it means that their members are basically all Soul Masters."

Jiang Nannan said, "Judging from their strength on paper, they are already no weaker than us. If we were to fight, they wouldn't be much worse off than us."

Beibei said meaningfully, "The biggest variable is actually 223. As for individual battles and team battles, hehe, I really can't think of how we could lose."
