Douluo Continent, Huo Yuhao who returned from Sekiro

Chapter 334 The God of War's Kindness Is Never Gone (8k)

After dinner, everyone changed into ordinary clothes, took the invitations from the Starlight Auction House, and, led by Wang Yan, the group arrived at the Starlight Auction House again.

To their surprise, the elegant auctioneer was waiting at the door. Dressed in a long black dress, she looked even more noble and elegant under the night lights, and her pretty face was full of gentleness.

Wang Yan exchanged a glance with her, nodded slightly, and said, "Hello, Auctioneer Qingya. We meet again."

Qingya said with a delighted expression, "Welcome, distinguished guests."

Wang Yan asked, "How do you know we would definitely come today?"

Qingya shook her head. She said, "I don't know, but my task is to take good care of all the distinguished guests. Whether you come or not, I will wait here until the auction officially begins. Everyone, please follow Qingya."

As she spoke, she smiled at Wang Yanyan again before gracefully walking ahead.

Standing behind, Xu Sanshi whispered in Bei Bei's ear with a chuckle, "If this female auctioneer smiles at our Teacher Wang a few more times, she'll probably be completely bewitched. She really has a mature charm!"

Beibei glanced at him and said, "Idiot." Then she followed the people in front of her into the Starlight Auction House.

The auction hall was in the same situation as that day. There was no publicity for today's top-level auction. Led by Qingya, they walked inwards and soon passed the venue where they had participated in the auction last time.

As they walked to the end, two girls in long gold dresses came up to them. After bowing slightly to everyone, they exchanged a few words with Qingya. Then, one of the girls turned to the wall and raised her right hand to press lightly on it.

Suddenly, a strange scene unfolded. Rippling light patterns appeared on the wall, and then the layers of light gradually stabilized.

The girl placed her palm on it. A horizontal ray of light swept down from top to bottom. Then, with a hum, the wall slowly opened to both sides, revealing a passage.

Unlike the opulent gold and glitter outside, this passageway was pure white. Not a cold, hard white, but rather a unique white with a soft, textured feel.

The floor, ceiling, and walls were all paved with a translucent white jade. Beneath the jade, there were faint, subtle patterns, though the exact design was unclear. Compared to the outside passageway, however, it was clearly a more refined and elegant space.

Soft white light shines through from above, below, left, and right simultaneously, while the rooftop is framed by lines formed by pale blue halos.

Seeing this, Huo Yuhao finally nodded.

It's clear that the Star Luo royal family has had enough of their cheap ancestor's taste. The mid-to-low-end auction houses outside are fine if they're decorated to suit the nouveau riche's taste, but the top-tier auctions should be more understatedly luxurious.

If my Star Crown Sect wasn't here, then your Star Luo Sect is still like this. If my Star Crown Sect is here, then my Star Crown Sect's visit was for nothing.

Qingya explained softly, "This is our No. 1 auction room where we hold our top-tier auctions. Only the most distinguished guests are invited here to participate in the bidding."

"I'm only here today because of the presence of all of you distinguished guests. Otherwise, someone of my auctioneer rank wouldn't be qualified to be here."

Wang Yan said calmly, "Judging from the auctioneer Qingya's attire, it seems she's upgraded!"

Qingya smiled slightly and said, "Then I must also thank everyone. It was because of the sale of that slime corpse with special attributes last time that I accumulated enough performance to be promoted to Black-level Auctioneer. Please come in, everyone."

As she spoke, she slowly led the way. Inside, two more girls, dressed in long gold dresses and looking only eighteen or nineteen years old, came to greet them.

Seeing that the person in charge of reception was still a young girl in a long dress, Huo Yuhao immediately felt a sense of foreboding.

Upon entering the over 200-square-meter private room, with its extremely luxurious interior decoration, Huo Yuhao's heart, which had been hanging in suspense, finally died.

Your Star Crown Sect really came for nothing.

Precious woods, jade, and various ornaments that are clearly expensive.

Huo Yuhao sighed. Oh well, Shrek Academy's treasure appraisal event, no matter how high-class the place is, it's still just girls serving customers, and the decor is that of a nouveau riche.

The God of War's kindness is far from over!

These old relics should be swept into the dustbin of history!

Huo Yuhao thought helplessly.

He then remembered the running training method that Shrek Academy had passed down for over ten thousand years.

According to Elder Xuan, Shrek Academy will soon be exchanging students with the Sun Moon Royal Soul Master Academy.

He wasn't worried about not learning anything at the Sun Moon Royal Soul Master Academy, but the problem was that Meng Hongchen and Xiao Hongchen would probably go to Shrek Academy, right?

What can these two learn at Shrek?

We can't make those two run too, can we?

Fortunately, Teacher Wang Yan has now developed a set of targeted training methods for strengthening five major attributes, which makes Shrek seem to have some foundation in training. Otherwise, with Shrek's meager resources, he would be ashamed to go to the Sun Moon Empire as an exchange student.

Aside from this thing, Shrek doesn't seem to have much else.

Yes, there might also be beast pens. Beast pens, which cost tens of millions of gold soul coins to maintain every year, are indeed valuable. At least they can increase experience when facing soul beasts, and they are much safer than trying your luck in the soul beast forest.

What else could there be?

Give them both access to the Inner Court Library, allowing them to freely borrow valuable materials from within.

This thing is indeed a treasure, after all, most of the books that the Spirit Hall has accumulated over countless years are in it, which has greatly increased the value of Shrek Academy's inner library.

A family heirloom passed down from the Age of Angels, kid!

Thinking of this, Huo Yuhao touched his chin with some worry.

Why does it feel like Shrek Academy, which I'm so proud of, is just a makeshift operation?

Reform must be thorough and radical.

Huo Yuhao's resolve grew stronger.

The rooms in Auction Hall No. 1 of the Starlight Grand Auction House are decorated in an extremely luxurious style.

The room was rectangular, with one long wall entirely crystal clear and white. That wall was the only one without any decoration.

The large sofa was made of an unknown animal hide, with exceptionally soft white fur. Sitting on it, one felt a sense of comfort that seemed to sink into it, yet it also provided excellent support.

The sofa could comfortably seat at least twenty people, and the jade table was laden with various drinks, wines, and food. Many of the fruits alone were rare and exotic.

Everyone settled into the comfortable sofas. Auctioneer Qingya and two young women in long gold dresses remained. Qingya stood to the side of the sofa and smiled, "Let me explain the rules of our top-tier auction to our distinguished guests."
