The auction then revealed a Dragon Pearl from an East Sea Azure Dragon, drawing Wu Qi and Qiangu Changkong's attention as a neighboring fat man questioned whether they could afford it.

• Wu Qi explained that Chai Rong and Chai Zong were likely Soul Douluo powerhouses, and he and Qiangu Changkong decided to attend the auction while staying out of any trouble.

• After the auction ended, Wu Qi sensed the restless crowd outside and prepared for the likely battle.

Wu Qi and Qiangu Changkong were ambushed after leaving the Auction House, but the Chai Brothers arrived to confront their relative, Sea Trident Douluo Chai Long.
