Tang San Suffers a Setback, the Cat Girl Appears!

"Mr. Ye, the auction has officially begun. Here is the auction list." The woman from before handed over a list.

Ye Yuan turned to take it, but when he looked back, the figure from a moment ago had already vanished.

"Forget it, I'll deal with it after the auction ends."

Ye Yuan opened the list, and the items for this auction were clear at a glance.

Suddenly, his gaze stopped on one of the entries.

"Martial Soul mutation, cat ears and cat tail?"

Inside the auction venue at this moment.

A man dressed in scholarly attire sat in a high seat, with a slightly aged Title Douluo standing beside him.

They were none other than Ning Fengzhi and Gu Rong.

With nothing better to do, the two had come to attend the auction and incidentally put up some newly crafted Soul Tools for sale.

However, these were all simplified versions, which had been approved by Ye Yuan.

They had recently succeeded in forming an alliance with Martial Soul Hall, and now Martial Soul Hall was providing strong support for the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile Sect's Soul Tool production.

Of course, none of this would have been possible without Ye Yuan acting as the bridge.

"Daddy!" A familiar voice rang out.

Ning Fengzhi and Gu Rong turned their heads to see a young girl in a blue dress running toward them.

It was Ning Rongrong, who had already joined Shrek Academy.

"Oh! You're all grown up now, why are you still acting like a child?" Ning Rongrong threw herself directly into Ning Fengzhi's arms.

"Hehe." Ning Rongrong chuckled.

"Junior Tang San greets Sect Master Ning and Senior Gu Rong." A blue-haired young man bowed to the two.

The girl in the pink dress behind him said, "My name is Xiao Wu, the Wu from dancing."

"Rongrong, who are these?"

"Daddy, these are my classmates from Shrek Academy."

The moment Tang San saw Ning Fengzhi, his eyes lit up. He had been struggling with a lack of funds to craft hidden weapons, and now, hadn't a solution just presented itself?

"Sect Master Ning, this junior happens to have some business to discuss with you."

Ning Fengzhi was slightly startled; he hadn't expected this youth to be so composed and neither servile nor overbearing upon meeting him.

He was a decent child, after all.

It was a pity that compared to Ye Yuan, he was lacking by more than just a little; in the eyes of the boy before him, there was too much utilitarianism and calculation.

Ning Fengzhi did not have much of a favorable impression of him.

Besides, what kind of business could a mere youth possibly have to discuss with him?

Tang San slowly took out the Godly Zhuge Crossbow from his Twenty-Four Bridge Moonlight Night, his eyes unable to hide his pride.

This Tang Sect hidden weapon was essentially a dimensional strike against this world; to the natives of this world, his hidden weapon was a treasure for saving one's life.

Especially for a support-type sect like the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile Sect.

His expression was proud and arrogant.

He glanced toward Ning Rongrong.

When he had previously offered this Godly Zhuge Crossbow to Ning Rongrong, she hadn't wanted it. Now, Tang San wanted to let Ning Rongrong see the power of the Godly Zhuge Crossbow.

Let me show you the power of Tang Sect hidden weapons! he thought.

"Sect Master Ning, this is called the Godly Zhuge Crossbow."

"It can catch enemies off guard during combat."

"Furthermore, it is easy to conceal and possesses formidable power."

"It can easily pierce through a two-millimeter thick steel plate!"

He then curled his lips slightly and said arrogantly, "I presume your sect is in great need of this, right?"

Before Ning Fengzhi could speak, Tang San cut him off again. "I would like to discuss a business deal with you, Sect Master Ning."

"You will cover the costs of materials and production, and I will be responsible for the assembly."

"I will sell each one to you for 3,000 soul coins. How about it?"

Ning Fengzhi's expression sank instantly.

He hadn't expected this brat to be so greedy; not only did he want them to cover all the expenses, but he also wanted them to pay him an additional fee on top of that!

Compared to Ye Yuan, the difference was like heaven and earth.

Gu Rong could no longer hold back; his temper was naturally explosive.

"Hmph! You have some nerve, boy! You want to take all the benefits for yourself!"

Tang San was noncommittal. He said to Ning Fengzhi, "Sect Master Ning, have you considered it? If you don't trust me, we can test it right now."

Ning Fengzhi did not lose his temper, only saying in a flat tone, "Can your Godly Zhuge Crossbow break through the defense of a level 40 Black Tortoise Soul Master?"

Tang San was surprised. "How is that possible? Even a Soul Master of the same level wouldn't necessarily be able to break it."

He didn't understand; was his introduction not detailed enough?

Logically speaking, as a support-type sect, they should be extremely lacking in offensive means.

If not for the Soul Tool from Ye Yuan, Ning Fengzhi might have actually agreed to Tang San, but now that he had Ye Yuan's Soul Tool, why would he need this kind of trash?

Ye Yuan's Soul Tool had powerful offensive capabilities and low production costs; furthermore, the blueprints for the Soul Tool had already been given to the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile Sect.

Ning Fengzhi said again, "Why don't I take a look at the auction first? Perhaps there are even more powerful weapons there?"

After speaking, he ignored Tang San and sat down on his own.

Tang San wore an expression of sudden realization.

It seemed that this Ning Fengzhi looked down on his hidden weapons and wanted to see what was at the auction.

Tang San sneered in his heart, The natives of this world are truly ignorant. They don't seize the opportunity when such a good hidden weapon is right in front of them.

Simply foolish to the extreme.

Fine, I'll let you see the gap between those pieces of scrap metal and the Tang Sect hidden weapons.

When Tang San arrived, he had also brought a Godly Zhuge Crossbow to be auctioned.

He wanted to let Ning Fengzhi know just how ignorant he was for rejecting him earlier.

Ye Yuan sat in the high-level area, watching this scene with interest.

Looks like the talks fell through.

Tang San, oh Tang San, in your eyes, the weapons of this world are just scrap metal. You are still too arrogant.

When Ye Yuan looked at the list earlier, he had discovered the Tang Sect's Godly Zhuge Crossbow.

As it happened, the Soul Tool that Ning Fengzhi had finished was also in this auction.

Seeing Tang San's expression, he clearly hadn't given up yet. Very well, I'll let you witness the power of a Soul Tool.

He called over the woman from earlier and gave her some instructions.

"Understood, Mr. Ye."

The auction began, and the items started to be sold off one by one.

"Alright, next are two weapon auction items."

"We have received instructions from the manager to test the strength of these two weapons; only the winning side will proceed to the bidding."

The staff placed the two weapons opposite each other.

Under the staff's operation, both weapons launched their attacks simultaneously.

Tang San, sitting in the audience, said disdainfully, "How can the Soul Tools of these world natives compare to my Tang Sect hidden weapons?"

Just as Tang San was still immersed in his own fantasies, the scene that followed made him doubt his entire life.

His Godly Zhuge Crossbow was shattered instantly by that crossbow-shaped Soul Tool, and the bolt it fired even pierced straight through the 30-millimeter steel plate behind it!

Everyone in the arena was dumbfounded. One had to know that even an ordinary Soul Master would find it difficult to pierce that steel plate.

The crossbow Soul Tool before them had actually pierced the steel plate with ease!

Moreover, according to the introduction, one didn't even need to be a Soul Master to use it.

If one were a Soul Master, they could inject soul power to make its might even greater.

"Third Brother, that is our Seven Treasure Glazed Tile Sect's auction item, which was just created not long ago," Ning Rongrong said from the side.

She had long been unable to stand how this Tang San always acted as if he were unfathomable, ever since he first joined Shrek.

This Tang San had even helped that lecherous Oscar harass her.

She truly regretted joining Shrek; Ma Hongjun and Dai Mubai were both womanizers, and Oscar was a pervert who stared at her legs every day.

That Zhu Zhuqing wore an expression all day as if the whole world owed her money.

Only that girl named Xiao Wu was decent.

This Tang San was still a sycophant for Xiao Wu, though Xiao Wu didn't seem to have a very good relationship with Tang San.

She even addressed Tang San by his full name.

She looked at Tang San in his seat and couldn't help but chuckle.

At this moment, Tang San's face turned pale and then green; he hadn't expected the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile Sect to possess such a weapon.

The moment he thought about how high and mighty he had acted earlier, he wanted to find a hole to crawl into.

Tang San couldn't believe that the Soul Tools of the natives in this world were actually this strong!

In the end, this auction item was bought by a man in a suit.

The host said, "Next is the final auction item of this event."

"It is also the grand finale of this auction. I believe everyone present will like this item."

The staff slowly pulled out an iron cage.

Inside was a person with cat ears and a cat tail.

The cat girl wore only a few tattered rags, barely covering her vital parts.
