Chapter 185 Auction, Xing Luo's show of goodwill (4k)

In the meeting room.

"The matchup table for the subsequent elimination rounds has been released."

Wang Yan spoke gently. He had just returned from the Xingluo Empire Palace after drawing lots, and he immediately called everyone to a meeting.

Seeing that everyone had arrived, he slowly said, "The academy we will face in the round of 16 is an old rival, Douling Royal Academy."

Hearing this, Dai Yuheng, Ling Luochen and others looked a little solemn.

After all, the four royal academies have always been strong competitors for the runner-up in previous years, and they should never be underestimated.

Huo Yuhao teased: "Teacher Wang, your luck in the draw is not very good. You drew the top four of the previous session."

Wang Yan laughed: "It's okay, at least I didn't draw the Sun Moon Royal Soul Instructor Academy directly. However, as the first in the group, we will only draw the second in other groups in the 16-to-8 draw, and we won't meet them in the first round."

At this time, Wang Donger found a blind spot and asked:

"Teacher Wang, what you mean is that the Douling Royal Academy qualified as the second in the group, so we were drawn?"

Wang Yan nodded: "That's right."

"So, the strength of this year's Douling Royal Academy is not strong?" Xiao Xiao thought.

Wang Yan shook his head: "Based on their strength, the Douling Royal Academy should have qualified as the first in the group. But there was a dark horse in their group, and the Douling Royal Academy gave up the last game with that dark horse academy in order to preserve its strength. That's why it qualified as the second place."

Ma Xiaotao pouted indifferently: "Whether it's those guys from Sun and Moon, or others, we will meet them sooner or later anyway. No matter what strength they hide, we will just defeat them on the field."

As she spoke, Ma Xiaotao was eager to try.

Wang Yan was speechless for a while.

That's true, it seems that he is a little too cautious.

After breaking through the Soul Saint, Ma Xiaotao's strength is obvious to everyone.

Wang Yan even felt that with Huo Yuhao and Ma Xiaotao, they would definitely be able to kill through this session of the Continental Advanced Soul Master Academy Soul Fighting Competition.

Huo Yuhao nudged Ma Xiaotao's arm with his left elbow and reminded her, "Sister Xiaotao, it's good to have confidence, but you can't underestimate the mainland genius. Listen to Teacher Wang's follow-up arrangements."

Ma Xiaotao also calmed down after hearing this, waiting for Wang Yan to continue speaking.

The hidden danger of evil fire was eliminated, he became the captain of the Shrek Seven Devils, broke through the Soul Saint, and absorbed the soul bone. During this period of time, Ma Xiaotao was indeed very proud and almost looked down on others.

She would only listen to Huo Yuhao's words.

Wang Yan also smiled and said, "It's good to have confidence. I am also very relieved to have you, Xiaotao, and Yuhao in the team. But our goal at Shrek is only the championship, so we should be careful, especially pay attention to the problems with soul guides.

The regular players of Douling Royal Academy this year include five soul kings and two soul masters, who are very strong. Moreover, Douling Royal Academy is not a pure soul master academy. They use soul guides very frequently. At least two of these five soul kings are real soul guides. You need to be vigilant about this."

Hearing this, everyone nodded.

Although our strength is strong enough, it is always good to be cautious.

"Okay, I will give you the subsequent game rules now. Starting from the 16th to the 8th, each promotion match will be divided into team battles and individual competitions, which will be held in two days. Failure in team battles does not mean elimination. As long as three or fewer players defeat the opponent's seven players in the individual competition, you can turn defeat into victory."

It didn't take too long to arrange the game tactics. It can be said that this rule that encourages personal heroism is quite beneficial to Shrek.

Of course, Wang Yan needs to consider more. He has to let everyone win while retaining their strength.

So, his arrangement for tomorrow's team battle is: Huo Yuhao, Dai Yuheng, Ling Luochen, Xixi, Beibei, Xu Sanshi, Tang Ya.

Ma Xiaotao frowned: "Teacher Wang, won't you let me play?"

Wang Yan shook his head: "It's just a fight with the Douling Royal Academy. It's not worth it for us to expose the extremely important news that you, Xiaotao, have broken through to the Soul Saint."

Seeing that Ma Xiaotao was very unhappy, Wang Yan also hurriedly comforted her: "Don't worry, when I let you play later, I will give you the right to fire unlimitedly."

"Humph, it's better to be like this!" Ma Xiaotao put down her fist.

If you don't return to your hometown, you will be like a brocade night walk.

She worked so hard to cultivate to the Soul Saint, isn't it just to show the power of Shrek in this Soul Master Competition! ?

After working so hard for so long, can't you enjoy it?

What is retaining strength?

It doesn't exist!

She has no intention of slacking off.

Moreover, after she was promoted to Soul Saint, she was also full of anger and was looking for a suitable punching bag to vent.

Huo Yuhao also comforted her: "Sister Xiaotao, I will take your share and win this team battle neatly!"

It doesn't matter, the spirit replica will take action.

Finally, Wang Yan also gave Beibei and the other seven people a mouthful of chicken soup:

"In the next game, you reserve team members must take it seriously. Those who can play must cherish this precious opportunity, and those off the court must also observe the game carefully. Five years later, it will be your home court! This competition is definitely a precious experience for you. Do you understand?"

"Understood!"

Beibei and the other seven said in unison.

"Dongdongdong!"

Suddenly, the door of the conference room was knocked.

Wang Yan frowned: "Didn't I tell the service staff not to disturb us right now?"

A pleasant female voice came from outside the door, "Sorry to bother you, I'm not a service staff, I'm from Starlight Auction House."

Beibei, who was closest to the door, had already stood up. After receiving Wang Yan's nod of approval, he walked over and opened the door.

A woman in a long black dress stood outside the door. She looked to be nearly thirty years old, which is the age when women have mature charm but still have a youthful atmosphere.

With a smile on her face, she said softly: "Hello, distinguished guests of Shrek Academy, I am Qingya, a black-level auctioneer from the Starlight Auction House. Is Teacher Wang Yan here?"

Wang Yan walked over and asked, "I'm Wang Yan, what can I do for you?"

Qingya smiled and said: "Hello, Teacher Wang, I'm sorry to bother you. This Soul Master Competition is a grand festival that happens only once in twenty years in the Star Luo Empire, so our Starlight Auction House will hold a top-notch auction tonight.

Only the most distinguished guests will be invited by us. If you are free tonight, you are welcome to attend this auction. There must be something of interest to your house in today's auction. "

As she spoke, she took out a stack of auction invitations and handed them to Wang Yan with both hands.

"I won't disturb you all."

Qingya saluted again with a smile on her face, backed away slowly, and closed the door behind her when she left.

Wang Yan held the stack of exquisite gold-gilded invitations, narrowed his eyes and said, "Thirteen invitations, not a few, and you can send them here despite the Star Luo Empire's official blockade of the hotel. What a great gesture! "

"Because behind the Starlight Auction House is the Xingluo Royal Family." Huo Yuhao said with a smile.

"What?"

Hearing this, everyone was surprised.

"Without the permission of the Xingluo royal family, who would dare to come and send invitations privately?" Huo Yuhao explained casually.

"No wonder." Wang Yan said clearly.

Looking at the exquisite invitation, Dai Yaoheng looked a little surprised, "The auctioneer was right. This is indeed a top-notch auction."

"Tell me more specifically?" Xixi asked curiously.

Everyone also looked over.

After all, among the people present, only Dai Yueheng was from the Star Luo Empire, and with his status, he had the opportunity to be exposed to an auction of this level.

Dai Yueheng explained: "Auctions of this level only happen once or twice a year. I was not qualified to participate in it before. Only my father, members of the royal family, big businessmen, and top soul masters can participate in auctions of this level. Only soul mentors can participate.

The items inside are very precious, and there are definitely a lot of good things. There was even a soul bone that was up to 90,000 years old that was auctioned. This Starlight Auction House is probably just to make good friends with our college, and has no other meaning. Teacher Wang, what do you think? "

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

They are indeed the best soul masters among their peers, but they are also a group of young people who are very curious about new things.

What's more, it's not easy to participate in such a top-notch auction. If you miss it, you will definitely have regrets.

"Everyone will go there together that night, just to let you relax before the game. However, watch more and talk less, avoid all troubles as much as possible, and return to the hotel to rest immediately after the auction."

"Yeah!"

Xiao Xiao was the first to jump up, and the rest of the people also looked excited.

Huo Yuhao was also a little curious, even though the two things that were most useful to him at this auction had long since disappeared.

But after all, with the background of the Star Luo royal family, there must be some background, right?

…

Night falls.

After Huo Yuhao and his party finished their meal, they came to the Starlight Auction House with the invitation card from the Starlight Auction House.

Wearing a purple dress, Qing Ya was waiting at the door. She looked even more noble and elegant under the night lights. Her pretty face was full of tenderness. This charming posture even attracted many passers-by to look back.

But no doubt.

At this moment, Huo Yuhao and his group, who were slowly arriving in the night, were the focus of countless passers-by.

Especially Huo Yuhao, some beautiful girls even stopped Shrek people on the spot just to get Huo Yuhao's autograph.

In this regard, Huo Yuhao naturally refused those requests to sign on certain skins with righteousness, and instead distributed paper signatures righteously.

When Qingya saw the arrival of Huo Yuhao and his entourage, she walked a few steps to greet them and said with a joyful face: "Welcome all distinguished guests!"

"My task today is to receive all the distinguished guests from Shrek Academy. Everyone, please come with Qingya."

As she spoke, she smiled sweetly at Wang Yan again, and then walked in front of him to lead the way.

Xu Sanshi's eyes almost went straight when he saw it. He lowered his voice and smiled at Huo Yuhao: "How about it, Yuhao, doesn't he have a very mature charm? If she smiles at our Teacher Wang a few more times, I'm afraid Teacher Wang's My soul will be taken away."

Huo Yuhao shook his head and did not respond.

He remembered the relationship between Han Ruoruo and Wang Yan in the original work.

However, with his intervention this time, it must be impossible for Wang Yan to achieve the behavior of "old cows eating young grass".

Beibei, who was passing by, glanced at Xu Sanshi and said in a low voice: "You idiot, can you pay attention to your image? Besides, Jiang Nannan is still here."

You have Tang Ya, you are noble!

Xu Sanshi secretly complained, but also lost the mood to continue teasing.

Qingya, who was walking in the front, led everyone to the depths of the Starlight Auction House.

When they walked to the end, two girls in golden long skirts came up to them. They bowed slightly to everyone and talked to Qingya briefly. Then one of the girls raised her right hand and pressed the wall.

Suddenly, a water wave-like light pattern appeared on the wall, and a horizontal light pattern swept across the girl's palm from top to bottom.

With a buzzing sound, the wall slowly opened to both sides, revealing a pure white passage.

"This is the No. 1 auction room where we hold top auctions. Only the most distinguished guests will be invited to enter here to participate in the auction. I can enter here today because of the honor of all the distinguished guests."

Qingya said as she slowly led the way in front.

There were already two more girls in golden long skirts who looked only eighteen or nineteen years old coming up.

After passing the road paved with white jade, small doors appeared on both sides. Qingya finally took them to Gate No. 7.

This is a room of about two hundred square meters.

The decoration inside was extremely luxurious, and it looked even more extravagant than the Shrek Inner Court Treasure Appreciation Meeting in Jubao Pavilion.

Everyone sat on the huge sofa in the room to rest.

Qingya led two girls in golden skirts to explain the rules.

A quarter of an hour later.

The whole room was flooded with a layer of gold that was not dazzling.

Qingya said: "Dear guests, our auction today is about to begin."

Everyone subconsciously cast their eyes on the soul guide screen opposite the sofa.

At this moment, in the soul guide screen, in the middle of the auction table, stood a girl in a red long skirt.

This girl looked only about seventeen or eighteen years old, with beautiful appearance and a well-developed figure. A red skirt and gauze set off her icy skin, perfect and elegant.

The girl in the red dress said, "Good evening, distinguished guests. I am today's auctioneer Jiujiu. Welcome to the top auction of Starlight Auction House.

Today, we will present a total of nine precious items for you. The value of the items will be displayed from low to high. I hope you like them. Now, please appreciate the first item of today."

As she spoke, she smiled sweetly and performed a complex but very elegant court etiquette.

The scene changed, and the soul guide screen on the entire wall had already presented an item.

Eighth-level close-body soul guide, Tyrant Tiger Soul Refining Sword!

"It's level eight right away?"

He Caitou's eyes widened.

Although his teacher Fan Yu is an eighth-level soul guide, He Caitou has never seen a real eighth-level soul guide.

Even the knowledgeable people in the inner courtyard were surprised.

It's not that the eighth-level soul guide has never appeared in the auctions they have participated in before, but it is definitely a rare existence!

And this is just the first item of this top auction.

It is conceivable that the Starlight Auction House must have spent a huge amount of money today!
