Douluo Continent: Starting with a Heavenly Fire Judgment

Chapter 135 Red and Blue Beautiful Girl

Seeing the heavy atmosphere, Qingya had no choice but to continue her explanation: "The Soul-Devouring Carving Knife was made by that evil soul master in his later years. It is said that shortly after he made this carving knife, he encountered his greatest enemy. This genius, but also a ruthless man, perished. And when he died, he did not take this Soul-Devouring Carving Knife with him. As time passed, this murderous knife ended up in the hands of ordinary people."

After listening to Qingya's long and elegant introduction, everyone finally understood why a listed engraving knife would appear at a Level 4 auction.

Many who were initially eager to participate remained silent.

The price of the Soul-Eating Carving Knife is not low, and it is also very dangerous. Buying it would mean worrying about the danger to one's life at any time, so the scene was very silent and many people hesitated.

The engraving knife is indeed very attractive, but compared to life, it's not so attractive.

Even Wang Yan showed disappointment and prepared to give up on the Soul-Devouring Carving Knife.

"The Soul-Devouring Carving Blade, starting bid 100,000 Gold Soul Coins, minimum increment 5,000 Gold Soul Coins. Distinguished guests, you may now begin bidding," Qingya announced with a smile. In reality, she felt no excitement whatsoever. Based on her nearly ten years of experience as an auctioneer, the reactions below suggested that this Soul-Devouring Blade would likely fail to sell again.

If it doesn't sell, so be it. Qingya didn't have high hopes for this carving knife anyway.

Just then, Ji Lin raised the sign in his hand and shouted, "100,000 gold soul coins."

Qingya was stunned for a moment, then her whole body was filled with joy. You see, one percent commission is a thousand gold soul coins! Even if she spent it lavishly, it would last her for several years. She was usually lucky to earn a few dozen to a hundred gold soul coins per auction. After all, she was only a purple-level auctioneer. Being able to sell the Soul-Devouring Blade might just get her promoted to black-level and allow her to host even higher-level auctions.

"Ah! Alright, this esteemed guest has offered 100,000 gold soul coins. Is there any other esteemed guest who would like to place a bid?"

Qingya snapped out of her surprise and quickly said...

Upon hearing Ji Lin's offer, Wang Yan and the others looked at him in surprise.

They could all sense the problem with the Soul-Devouring Carving Knife from the auctioneer's introduction and the atmosphere at the scene. Ji Lin couldn't possibly be unaware of why he had bid for this deadly knife.

"Class monitor! You're not a soul master, why did you buy a carving knife? Besides, this carving knife is so weird," Xiao Xiao said worriedly.

Wang Yan and the others also turned their gazes toward Ji Lin.

Ji Lin smiled and explained, "I am indeed a Soul Master, just not a high level. I bought this carving knife not to make a Soul Tool, but for other purposes. Don't worry, I know what I'm doing, it can't hurt me."

Hearing Ji Lin's explanation, the others didn't ask any more questions, but they were a little surprised that Ji Lin also cultivated soul tools.

Wang Yan frowned, but ultimately did not stop him. He knew Ji Lin's personality; if he said there was no problem, then he must be confident in buying the Soul-Devouring Carving Knife.

Ultimately, no one bid, and Ji Lin bought the Soul-Devouring Carving Knife for 100,000 gold soul coins.

Ji Lin accepted the Soul-Devouring Carving Knife offered by the waiter. Since Ilex was still asleep, it wasn't the right time to deal with the knife.

Everyone made some purchases at tonight's auction, but also spent a considerable amount of money.

After this transaction, Wang Yan's level at Starlight Auction House increased by one level.

Ji Lin was promoted two levels, but this meant nothing to him, as his wife was the chief auctioneer. If needed, he could be promoted directly to the gold level without any problem.

Star City.

Early in the morning, everyone from Shrek Academy was already up. Today would be their second match in the round-robin stage of the Continental Advanced Soul Master Academy Tournament.

Wang Yan, along with Ma Xiaotao and the reserve team who had been equipped with the newly purchased soul tools the night before, left the Star Emperor Hotel and headed straight for Star Luo Square.

Today's opponent has been determined, but the match format will be determined by drawing lots.

Xingluo Square was as lively as ever, especially when the Shrek Academy team appeared in the contestant passage guarded by soldiers, the whole place erupted in cheers and jubilation.

Wang Yan had already introduced their opponents for the day to everyone during breakfast. They were from the Thousand Spirits Advanced Soul Master Academy of the Douling Empire, which was ranked among the top three in the Douling Empire.

The sun was high in the sky, and it was time for the competition.

On the competition stage, the referee, dressed in a purple dress, walked to the center and announced loudly through a megaphone: "Both sides enter the waiting area. The captains of both sides, please come up to the stage to draw lots."

Wang Yan nodded to Ma Xiaotao, and only then did Ma Xiaotao step onto the competition stage.

From Qianling Academy, a male student who appeared to be around twenty years old came up with an expressionless face.

The lottery begins!

Everyone is watching to see what the draw results will be for this match.

"Shrek Academy vs. Thousand Spirits Advanced Soul Master Academy, team battle!" the referee announced loudly.

Team battles are the most intense and comprehensive competition, testing the overall strength of both sides. They are also the shortest matches.

The referee announced in a deep voice, "Both teams, please enter the field."

For this competition, Wang Yan sent seven people to the stage: Ji Lin, Wang Qiu'er, Ling Luochen, Bei Bei, Xu Sanshi, Jiang Nannan, and Xiao Xiao. He retained two Soul Emperors and one Wang Dong'er. With Ji Lin, Wang Qiu'er, and Ling Luochen, the three of them had a Martial Soul Fusion Skill, which guaranteed victory. The other four went on stage to adapt to the competition and prepare for the next All-Continent Advanced Soul Master Academy Battle Tournament.

Upon reaching the stage, the two sides each occupied one side.

Ji Lin stood at the very front. The opposing captain stared intently at Ji Lin, his eyes filled with fighting spirit, clearly unfazed by Shrek Academy's reputation.

They were not intimidated by Ji Lin's previous performance.

The lineup of Qianling Advanced Soul Master Academy was a bit peculiar. Four burly men stood in front of them, forming a wall-like barrier.

After the four people came the captain. Behind the captain were two girls.

The two girls were easily identifiable, one with red hair and the other with blue hair, making them quite striking. All seven of them appeared to be around twenty years old. Their formation gave off an air of impregnability.

This should be the special formation of the Thousand Spirits Advanced Soul Master Academy that Wang Yan told them about: four shields combined into one solid defense, and ice and fire dual control of the Thousand Strike Spear.

The "Four Shields" refers to the four burly male students in front, the "Ice and Fire Dual Control" likely refers to the two girls, and the "Thousand Strike Spear" is obviously the captain, who stood there as straight as a javelin.

According to Wang Yan, the four male students in front belonged to the same sect and had the same martial spirit, the Spirit Rhinoceros Shield, a high-level defensive martial spirit.

The captain of the Thousand Spirits team behind them, as cold and hard as a javelin, is named Shen Ce. He is the true core and main attacker of their team, and his martial spirit is the Thousand Strike Spear, which is proficient in both close and long-range attacks.
