Douluo Dalu II—Chapter 77: This Thing is Destined to be with Shrek
There are not many rooms for the top auction. Under the arrangement of the Star Luo Empire, Shrek Academy is in Room 1, and the Sun-Moon Imperial Soul Engineering Academy is in Room 2.
At this moment, in Room No. 1 where Shrek Academy is located, Wang Yan withdrew his gaze from the screen and looked at Xuan Zi beside him. "Master Xuan, we must take down this Ice Jade Scorpion Soul Bone!"
Initially, Xuan Zi didn't want to come to the auction. As a level 98 Super Douluo, he felt that there would be nothing at the auction that would interest him.
Instead of attending the auction, it would be better to find a place to eat chicken legs and drink wine. That is the life that human beings should live.
However, because the students were attending this top auction, and for their safety, under Wang Yan's persuasion, Xuan Zi had to attend.
The Death God Envoy incident had just occurred not long ago. If something were to happen to the students at the auction again due to his negligence, Xuan Zi didn't know how he would face the elders of the Sea God Pavilion. Would he have to resign again?
In Xuan Zi's life so far, he has resigned from the Sea God Pavilion twice: once because of the Zhang Lexuan incident and once because of the Death God Envoy incident.
As the saying goes, three times is the limit, and he didn't want to make the same mistake again. If he did, he could only resign from the Sea God Pavilion once more. If that happens, unless Mr. Mu persuades him to stay, he will leave the Sea God Pavilion directly and become an idler!
Hearing Wang Yan's words, Xuan Zi nodded excitedly. "Wang Yan, you are right! I didn't expect that I would come across the Ice Jade Scorpion Soul Bone after coming to the auction! This item is destined to be with our Shrek Academy!
The Ice Scorpion has the ultimate ice attribute. With this soul bone, Ling Luochen's ice attribute can be improved, and maybe even close to the ultimate ice. In this way, Ling Luochen will be able to better alleviate Xiao Tao's evil fire problem!"
Ma Xiaotao, on the side, was also a little agitated. The evil fire had always been a significant problem that troubled her in her cultivation. As a girl, she couldn't go directly to a brothel to alleviate her evil fire problem like her ancestor, Ma Hongjun.
Therefore, she usually asked Xu Sanshi to help her relieve her evil fire. The reason she seldom looked for Ling Luochen was not that her relationship with him was particularly bad, but mainly because the students in the inner courtyard needed to complete enough supervisory tasks before they could graduate from the academy, so Ling Luochen was often busy with tasks outside.
Xu Sanshi was a student from the outer academy and usually stayed in the academy. He had few opportunities to do supervisory tasks, so naturally, Xu Sanshi was often conscripted by Ma Xiaotao.
Xu Sanshi looked at the Ice Jade Scorpion Soul Bone, and a happy expression appeared on his face. "Teacher Wang, do you have enough gold soul coins? If not, I will pay for it!"
Xu Sanshi was fed up with helping Ma Xiaotao relieve her evil fire problem. He felt that this would affect his relationship with Jiang Nannan.
Although Senior Sister Ma Xiaotao was pretty and had a good figure, she was not his type. There was only Jiang Nannan in his heart.
Admittedly, when he met a beautiful woman, he couldn't help but take a few more glances at her, but if he were asked to choose, he would choose Jiang Nannan. As long as he got the Ice Jade Scorpion Soul Bone, the task of alleviating Ma Xiaotao's evil fire problem would fall on Ling Luochen.
Then, he would have more time to please Jiang Nannan!
Wang Yan smiled. "No need for that. After all, Shrek Academy is the number one soul master academy on the continent and has stood for thousands of years. How could it be short of money?
If you want to buy this soul bone, you can ask the academy to reimburse you. After all, buying this soul bone will help cultivate outstanding students."
After saying this, he looked at Xuan Zi standing beside him and asked tentatively, "Well, Master Xuan, should I make an offer now?"
Xuan Zi smiled, waved his hand, and said, "Don't bid. Let me do this myself! I haven't experienced the feeling of bidding in an auction for a long time! This time, we must get the Ice Jade Scorpion Soul Bone!"
After saying that, he walked to the optical screen, stretched out his hand, operated the screen, and said, "First, pay 15 million gold soul coins!"
The next moment, a line of text appeared on the screen: "Room No. 1 offers 15 million gold soul coins!"
At this time, new words appeared on the screen: "Room No. 2 offers 16 million gold soul coins!"
Xuan Zi frowned slightly. "Well, the person in Room 2 wants to snatch it from me?"
"Humph! I have been traveling across the Douluo Continent for many years and have never been afraid of anyone! Seventeen million gold soul coins!"
As he spoke, he operated the screen again, and a line of text appeared: "Room No. 1 offers 17 million gold soul coins!"
Words appeared on the screen again: "Room No. 2 offers 18 million gold soul coins!"
Xuan Zi was stunned for a moment, then continued to bid, as Room No. 2 was not to be outdone, and kept catching up. Finally, when Room No. 2 raised the price of the Ice Jade Scorpion Soul Bone to 30 million gold soul coins, Xuan Zi's face turned extremely ugly.
To be honest, he had already sensed the crisis. This price had exceeded his psychological expectations. It was not because he was poor; as an elder of the Sea God Pavilion, he could not be a poor man.
However, his Taotie Divine Bull Martial Soul made him greedy, and he spent a large amount of gold soul coins on chicken legs and fine wine.
To satisfy his bottomless appetite, even his storage soul guidance device was filled with chicken legs and fine wine; otherwise, he would not be able to eat at any time. Chicken legs were very cheap, while some fine wines were very expensive.
Wang Yan saw this and asked, "Master Xuan, how about I take out the special funds of the college? Then I can bid for this in Room No. 2?"
Xuan Zi shook his head and said calmly, "No need. Although the academy is not short of money, we are not fools. It is unwise to keep raising the price. Don't worry; I will make a move! And I will ensure that we get the soul bone at a reasonable price!"
At this moment, a long voice was coming from the optical screen: "30 million gold soul coins once, 30 million gold soul coins twice—"
Xuan Zi was directly possessed by his martial soul. He stepped forward and instantly broke down the door, then flew into the auction hall. A tremendous pressure erupted from him.
Xu Jiujiu felt this tremendous pressure and looked at Xuan Zi in astonishment. She didn't understand what this level 98 Super Douluo was going to do. His behavior was undoubtedly violating the rules of the auction.
At this moment, the Protector of the Nation Douluo, Cheng Gang, appeared. He looked at Xuan Zi, and a solemn expression suddenly appeared on his face.
Xuan Zi put his hands behind his back and said righteously, "Friends in Room 2, we at Shrek Academy also have our eyes on this soul bone. Could you please not raise the price maliciously?
As we all know, most of the outstanding soul masters on the continent come from our Shrek Academy. This soul bone is crucial to our efforts to train outstanding soul masters.
Our Shrek Academy has always taken it as our mission to combat evil soul masters. As long as we can train more outstanding soul masters, the living space for evil soul masters will be further reduced!
This is also a good thing for the Douluo Continent, so, for the stability and prosperity of the Douluo Continent, can you give me some face? Please grant this soul bone to our academy!"
