Chapter 94 Top-Tier Auction

Chapter 94 Top-Tier Auction

Dai Yueheng asked doubtfully, "Based on the results of Douling Academy, they shouldn't be facing us. ๑۞๑,¸¸,ø¤º°`°๑۩ 🎀 𝟨𝟫𝓈𝒽𝓊𝓍.𝒸💍𝓂 🎀 ۩๑°`°º¤ø,¸¸,๑۞๑"

Wang Yan explained, "Judging from the strength, that is indeed the case. However, this competition produced a dark horse team that maintained a perfect record. For some reason, Douling Academy gave up the first place in the group."

Ma Xiaotao said, "Could there be a problem? After all, Douling Academy is a long-established academy, and they must know the importance of being first in their group."

Wang Yan pushed up his glasses and said, "The Dou Ling are currently hiding their strengths very well, and they may have something to rely on. However, I have also kept you and Dai Yueheng from appearing. With you two in charge, there shouldn't be any problems. Okay, next I will explain the rules of the competition."

Wang Yan explained the rules of the upcoming competition in detail. Towards the end, Huo Yuhao asked, "Teacher Wang, what if someone gets injured or is too exhausted during the team battle and can't participate in the individual competition?"

Wang said, "That depends on the level of preparation. Each academy will bring a regular team and a reserve team to participate in the competition. If any problems arise with the regular team members, the reserve team members must step in."

A sly glint flashed in Ye Nanxiao's eyes as he chuckled, "Then we can prevent their regular players from playing."

Dai Yueheng looked at Ye Nanxiao and nodded, agreeing with Ye Nanxiao's idea, "That's exactly what I was thinking."

Ma Xiaotao frowned slightly and said, "It's not that simple. Those who can become regular players are all quite strong."

Wang Yan asked, "Bei Bei, Xu Sanshi, are you confident?" Wang Yan was naturally referring to Bei Bei's Golden Sacred Dragon and Xu Sanshi's Xuanwu power.

Bei Bei nodded, while Xu Sanshi said with a bitter face, "I can't guarantee it, because I can't control it. Only under extremely strong stimulation can my martial soul possibly undergo that kind of mutation."

Wang Yan rubbed his temples. "I understand. I will arrange the participants for tomorrow. Ye Nanxiao, Jiang Nannan, He Caitou, and Xiao Xiao will be the reserve team members. Dai Yueheng will replace Ye Nanxiao. After all, Nanxiao has been too popular in recent competitions and should be targeted."

Ye Nanxiao looked completely innocent. "How can you blame me?"

Beibei looked helpless. "Who told you to do that when there's no pressure? What was that line you said again?"

Xu Sanshi chuckled and continued Bei Bei's words, "Let yourself go."

Ye Nanxiao was speechless. Indeed, ever since Ma Xiaotao and the other two were allowed to play, Ye Nanxiao had been letting loose. As long as he didn't encounter anyone with the Soul Emperor cultivation level, he would basically crush them all on the field, and he even had time to study skill combinations and moves.

Xiao Xiao pouted, "Then we have nothing to do with this?"

Wang Yan smiled slightly and said, "As the competition progresses, no one can guarantee that there won't be any injuries, so the four of you need to be prepared to participate at any time."

Just as Wang Yan finished speaking, there was a knock on the conference room door.

Wang Yan frowned slightly and gave Bei Bei a look. Bei Bei got up and walked to the door.

"We're in a meeting, please don't disturb us," Beibei said.

"Excuse me, I'm not a staff member, I'm from Starlight Auction House." A pleasant female voice came from outside the door.

A woman in a long black dress stood outside the door. She looked to be about twenty-eight or twenty-nine years old, an age when a woman possesses mature charm yet still retains a youthful spirit.

Apart from Ma Xiaotao and the other two, everyone else recognized this woman, Qingya, an auctioneer at Starlight Auction House.

Qingya's gaze fell directly on Wang Yan. She smiled slightly, bowed, and said, "Hello, Teacher Wang, I apologize for disturbing you."

Wang Yan's expression softened slightly as he asked, "Is there something you need?"

Qingya smiled and said, "It's like this. We saw that your checkout account is from Shrek Academy, so we found this place. There's a top-level auction tonight. Auctions of this level only happen once or twice a year, and only the most distinguished guests are invited. Last time, we didn't know you were from Shrek Academy, the number one academy on the continent, so we were very rude. Our auction house owner asked me to distribute invitations to you. If you are free tonight, you are welcome to attend this auction. I believe there will be something of interest to you at tonight's auction."

As Qingya spoke, she took out a stack of invitations and placed them on the table. Then, with a smile, she bowed again and said, "I won't disturb you any longer. I apologize again." As she spoke, she slowly backed away, left the room, and closed the door behind her.

Wang Yan squinted at the gold-embossed invitation and said, "Impressive. To be able to send an invitation even when the hotel is under official lockdown, you must have some powerful connections."

Ye Nanxiao walked over, picked up the invitation, and looked at it with great interest.

"What, Xiaoxiaozi, are you interested?" Ma Xiaotao asked.

"I'm somewhat interested." A thought flashed through Ye Nanxiao's mind: auctions, where things are sold, are never short of wealthy people.

Dai Yueheng said, "It is indeed a top-level auction. There are definitely many good items, and the prices are very expensive. I was not qualified to participate in the past. Only my father, members of the royal family, big merchants, top soul masters, and soul masters could participate in this level of auction. They probably want to make connections with us. Teacher Wang, what do you think?"

Wang Yan looked around at the students and saw a glimmer of hope in almost everyone's eyes.

After thinking for two seconds, he nodded and said, "Okay, let's go take a look and relax a bit. But let's see more and talk less, and go back to the hotel to rest right after we're done."

Xiao Xiao and the others looked excited, but Wang Yan smiled and said, "Don't get excited yet, let me arrange tomorrow's tactics."

The tactical arrangements didn't take long. After explaining them, Wang Yan told everyone to go back to their rooms, have dinner, and then gather at the auction house.

"Nanxiao, are you planning to go shopping?" Jiang Nannan nestled in Ye Nanxiao's arms.

Ye Nanxiao reached out and gently stroked Jiang Nannan's delicate nose. "No, it's just that I thought of a great person to work with."

Jiang Nannan brought her face close to Ye Nanxiao's, asking curiously, "What are you selling? Have you made any new progress in your soul tool research?"

Ye Nanxiao laughed and said, "Want to know? Give me a reward."

Jiang Nannan's pretty face flushed red at a visible speed as she felt a restless large hand.

Chao Ye Nanxiao smiled charmingly and said, "These past few days I've had the desire but not the courage. Can you handle the reward?" She even licked her red lips with her pink tongue.

Ye Nanxiao said seriously, "Who said you don't have the guts to steal? This little girl can't handle you."

Jiang Nannan knelt on Ye Nanxiao's lap, propped herself up and looked down at him, wrapped her arms around his neck and breathed out, "I want to kiss you."

Ye Nanxiao raised an eyebrow, put his arm around the beauty's slender waist, and kissed her.

After dinner.

Huo Yuhao looked at Ye Nanxiao, whose eyes had lost their luster and who was slumped lifelessly on the sofa, and asked Jiang Nannan curiously, "Sister Nannan, what's wrong with my brother?"

Beibei and Xu Sanshi had strange smiles on their faces, while Ma Xiaotao's face was slightly flushed, clearly thinking of something bad. But Jiang Nannan's walking posture was fine.

Jiang Nannan said with a smile, "Him? He's lost his nerve and is reflecting on his actions."

Huo Yuhao looked puzzled.

Wang Yan gathered everyone together and headed towards the Starlight Auction House.

Qingya 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.

Ye Nanxiao looked at Qingya's black dress and wondered if he should get Jiang Nannan a cheongsam to wear. Just then, a small hand pinched her fox ears, and Jiang Nannan smiled at Ye Nanxiao and asked, "Does it look good?"

Recalling the scene of being dominated by Jiang Nannan earlier, Ye Fox quickly shook her head, her survival instincts kicking in, and said, "No, I was just thinking of getting you a long dress to wear too, it would definitely look great."

Jiang Nannan nodded in satisfaction. "I'll let you off this time."

Ye Nanxiao turned his head away and muttered, "Let's see who begs for mercy after the match is over."

"What did you say?"

"My Nannan would look beautiful in a dress!"

Beibei and the others quietly quickened their pace, increasing the distance between themselves and Ye Nanxiao.

Wang Yan and Qingya exchanged a glance, and Wang Yan smiled, "Auctioneer Qingya, we meet again. How did you know we would come?"

Qingya smiled and shook her head, saying, "I don't know, but my job is to take good care of everyone. Please follow me."

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. That's the charm of maturity!"

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

Ye Nanxiao glanced at Xu Sanshi as he walked past him, then took Jiang Nannan's hand and followed the others.

Xu Sanshi looked puzzled and asked, "What did I do to offend you today?" He quickly caught up with the group.

This time was different from last time. Qingya led everyone inside and soon passed the auction house from last time. When they reached the end, two girls in long gold dresses came up to greet 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 on the wall.

A horizontal beam of light swept across the room, and then with a hum, the walls slowly opened to the sides, revealing a passage.

Unlike the opulent gold and silver exterior, this passageway was pure white.

Soft white light illuminated the walls and floor made of translucent white jade.

Qingya eventually led them through Gate Seven.

As soon as Ye Nanxiao entered the room, he collapsed onto the very large sofa. The sofa, made of the fur of an unknown soul beast, made Ye Nanxiao feel extremely comfortable.

Ma Xiaotao lifted Ye Nanxiao up with one hand and reminded him, "Sit properly!"

A young woman in a long dress gently pressed her hand against the smooth wall, and instantly, a soft halo of light shone across the entire wall. The light gradually intensified, and the wall eventually transformed into a giant screen.

Huo Yuhao looked at He Caitou, who couldn't help but ask, "Is this a soul tool?"

Qingya smiled and said, "Yes, this is a soul tool that our auction house customized from the Sun Moon Empire. It only has the function of transmitting images. The material is a kind of ore produced by the Sun Moon Empire, and it does not require soul power to activate the core array."

Looking at the clear image screen, Ye Nanxiao suddenly recalled the famous scene from the video call: when he went to the Sun Moon Empire, he casually mined this kind of ore.

Huo Yuhao, Cai Tou, and the other Shrek Academy students, except for Ye Nanxiao, all looked surprised. Ye Nanxiao slowly came to his senses and soon also looked surprised.

No soul power needed? Has the world begun its industrial revolution?
