Douluo Continent: From Seven Treasure Glazed Tile to Crescent Moon's Solemnity

Chapter 81 Snow Star Avalanche

"Are Yu Luomian and Dugu Bo here?" Ning Fengzhi was somewhat surprised to hear these two names.

But he remained calm and composed.

"I understand." Ning Fengzhi nodded with a smile.

Blue Lightning Tyrant Clan and Poison Douluo might seem like big shots that ordinary people would never dare to mess with.

But as the current sect leader of the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile School, he naturally had nothing to fear.

In a fair competition, the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile School has never been afraid of anyone when it comes to financial resources.

Then Ning Fengzhi led Ning Rongrong into the grand auction house.

Instead of sitting in the VIP area, he took two masks and went with Ning Rongrong to the most ordinary white area.

……

Ten minutes ago.

Ning Feiliu and Dugu Yan followed Dugu Bo into the auction center of the Tian Dou Grand Auction House.

The auction center is located on the second floor of the auction house, accessible via eight staircases from the lobby.

Upon entering the auction hall, the welcoming girls would hand out a mask that covered the upper half of the face to the VIPs.

This is a rule of the Tiandou Grand Auction House: you need to wear a mask to enter before participating in the auction, which is for the safety of our clients.

But does Dugu Bo also need to consider security issues?

He's already doing a good job by not causing any safety issues for others.

Moreover, what kind of identity can a mask that only covers half of the face possibly conceal?

It's not as good as the mask Ning Feiliu is wearing right now.

Therefore, Manager Li had no intention of giving Dugu Bo and Dugu Yan masks at all, and Ning Feiliu just happened to have brought her own unique mask.

So the three of them went straight into the auction center at the front.

The auction center felt more like a large auditorium, with a layout similar to the main battle center of the Great Battle Arena. In the center was a circular stage, surrounded by concentric circles of seats.

Upon closer inspection, the area can be divided into five main sections. The three rows of seats closest to the stage are red, radiating outwards in black, purple, yellow, and white, respectively.

That's clearly consistent with the classification of spirit ring age levels, set according to different levels of bidders.

The innermost red seats are accessed through a special passage and are protected by dedicated security personnel.

That's the so-called million-dollar VIP area, and only people with status and position can qualify for the red VIP status.

The black seats surrounding the perimeter are the regular million-dollar VIP area; anyone with money can enter.

It belongs to the next level of black VIPs.

Further out, the purple seats are for VIPs with a budget of 500,000 gold coins, the yellow seats are for regular VIPs with a budget of 100,000 gold coins, and the outermost white seats are the largest, which can usually be entered with a verification fee of 10,000 gold coins.

Dugu Bo simply didn't have the same leisure and elegance as Ning Fengzhi. He chose to go to the most ordinary white VIP area instead of the most prestigious and secure red VIP area.

The three of them sat at the very front of the red VIP area, quietly waiting for the auction to officially begin.

A few minutes later, it became clear that many people had learned that the auction would be ending with the final soul bone up for auction.

Therefore, the VIPs attending the auction were almost everywhere. In no time, the originally empty venue was almost filled with well-dressed nobles and powerful figures.

Even...

"Mr. Dugu." An aged voice came from the side.

An elderly man in fine clothes, wearing half a mask, was walking briskly forward with a smile on his face.

He wore a large yellow robe embroidered with clusters of flowers, yet it did not appear disheveled at all.

His gray hair was neatly combed back. He was of medium build and slightly overweight, but still looked dignified.

However, his eyes looked a bit small, which disrupted the overall look of his facial features. Standing with his hands behind his back, he exuded an air of extreme wealth and arrogance that disregarded others.

However, the elderly man in fine clothes was more respectful to Dugu Bo and slightly toned down his arrogance.

"Greetings, Senior Poison Douluo." Just then, a young man dressed in fine clothes also bowed to Dugu Bo.

His appearance bore a slight resemblance to the elderly man in fine clothes; he had short, reddish-brown hair, a handsome face, and an air of undeniable arrogance between his brows.

"Your Highness Xuexing is too polite," Dugu Bo said with a faint smile. "It seems that the soul bone we had today was quite attractive, even drawing you here. And this gentleman is...?"

Sure enough, the elegantly dressed old man was Prince Xuexing.

A look of understanding flashed across Ning Feiliu's handsome face beneath the mask; he could probably guess what was going on.

And the young man next to Prince Xue Xing is none other than Xue Beng, the fourth prince of the Heaven Dou Empire.

"This is my nephew, the current fourth prince, Xue Beng." Sure enough, Prince Xue Xing introduced him to Dugu Bo.

Dugu Bo nodded to Xue Beng, which could be considered a gesture of goodwill.

After all, Prince Xuexing had done him a favor not long ago, and he was being friendly to Prince Xuexing out of consideration for that.

"Soul bones... are priceless treasures for soul masters, and it's natural that a mortal like me would have some thoughts about them," Prince Xuexing said with a smile. "However, it seems that Mr. Dugu is also..."

"That's right..." Dugu Bo smiled faintly, glanced at Dugu Yan beside him, and said, "This soul bone... will be of great help to Yan Yan, so no matter what, I am determined to get this soul bone."

Upon hearing Dugu Bo's resolute and unyielding words, Prince Xuexing and Xue Beng's pupils constricted slightly.

However, Prince Xuexing quickly smiled and said, "Since Mr. Dugu is interested, then I will not interfere in the auction of this soul bone. In fact, if Mr. Dugu is willing, I am willing to give him 500,000 gold soul coins to help him."

"Then thank you in advance, Prince Xuexing." Dugu Bo smiled and did not refuse.

After all, with the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile School and the Blue Lightning Tyrant School participating in this soul bone auction, preparing as many gold soul coins as possible is not excessive.

Especially the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile School.

In the entire Douluo Continent, if we're really comparing financial resources, even the two great empires might not be able to surpass the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile School.

The Seven Treasure Glazed Tile School's immense wealth is no joke. The key point is that, when it comes to the two great empires, they also need to consider maintaining national order, supporting their armies, and distributing subsidies to Soul Masters.

In terms of spending, it's definitely not as carefree as the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile School.

The Seven Treasure Glazed Tile School is like one person being full so the whole family isn't hungry, but the two great empires have to take care of the lives of their entire families, so they are naturally not as carefree and happy as the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile School.

"Miss Dugu." At this moment, Prince Xuexing looked at Dugu Bo and greeted him. He then looked at Ning Feiliu, who was wearing a mask, next to Dugu Yan.

In fact, he had seen Ning Feiliu earlier and was quite curious about the identity of this man who was following Dugu Bo and Dugu Yan.

"And this is...?" he asked with a smile.
