Xiao Xiao swayed the Bai Cai, acting cute and charming, but her cold voice abruptly broke the relaxed atmosphere.

"Junior Brother Bai."

A cool and aloof student in red stepped into the reception hall, immediately spotting Bai Cai. Unusually, she proactively greeted her, "Want to apply for a VIP card?"

Ling Luochen, the only trouble.

Since the potential troubles hadn't been resolved, it was necessary to temporarily ease tensions. Therefore, Bai Cai replied, "Exactly."

To participate in the Treasure Appreciation Fair, a VIP card is required, regardless of the level. The VIP card of the Treasure Pavilion not only represents the credit limit but also signifies status and position.

There are only two ways to participate in the Treasure Appreciation Fair at the Treasure Pavilion.

The first option is to apply for a VIP card and achieve a rating of purple level or higher.

The second option is to hold a teacher's certificate and make purchases on behalf of the college.

The purple-level rating is equivalent to that of a core disciple, and includes some outstanding students who enjoy the same benefits as core disciples. They are able to enter the first-level Treasure Appreciation Fair.

A rating of Black Level is equivalent to that of an inner court student or a top student about to enter the inner court, who is eligible to enter the second-level Treasure Appreciation Fair.

Holding a teacher's certificate grants entry to the third-level Treasure Appreciation Fair.

In essence, the Treasure Appreciation Fair is a special promotional event organized by the Treasure Pavilion for outstanding Shrek Academy students and the logistics department. Most of the items are sold at a loss, so how could outsiders possibly get a share?

The VIP card at the Treasure Pavilion serves as both a barrier to entry and a certificate of membership.

Without restrictions, situations such as proxy purchases, cash-out schemes, and resales could even occur, harming the interests of the Treasure Pavilion.

Cardholders may not authorize others to participate in the Treasure Appreciation Fair on their behalf, nor may they use debit cards or charge cards registered in the name of others to make payments, in order to prevent irregular operations.

Of course, being able to enter the Treasure Appreciation Fair but presenting a VIP card under someone else's name to pay the bill is an extreme operation that walks the line of the law.

That said, the inner court disciples' Treasure Appreciation Fair seems to have already begun. Why is Ling Luochen at the Treasure Pavilion's representative office located within the academy?

"This week's Treasure Appreciation Fair..."

Ling Luochen's gaze swept over Wang Dong, then he chuckled.

The Light Goddess Butterfly and the Golden Radiance Left Arm Bone are almost a perfect match.

Unfortunately, the Golden Radiance Left Arm Bone is extremely valuable. The last time it appeared at the Inner Court Disciples' Treasure Appraisal Meeting, it was priced at tens of millions, which is beyond the reach of ordinary Soul Master.

Even for myself, the amount of Gold Soul Coin I can afford to spend is less than ten million.

Having just entered high school, his cultivation level is at most at the Soul Elder. Without the strong support of sects and noble families...

Bai Cai remained expressionless, turned and left, saying, "Well then, farewell."

Not only is he a Penguin, but also a Riddler, Ling Luochen is definitely from Gotham.

"Eh?"

Xiao Xiao was completely dumbfounded. To her, both the Bai Cai and the unfamiliar red-robed disciple were riddles.

Wang Dong, however, was much more perceptive than Xiao Xiao, and instantly understood the origin of the Black Level VIP card in Bai Cai's possession.

First, the highest rank a disciple of the outer court can achieve is purple.

Secondly, the Black Level VIP card is not stolen goods and can be used for normal purchases.

Trade?

Invest?

Bai Cai, Wang Dong, and Xiao Xiao had just left when Huo Yuhao, Bei Bei, and Tang Ya immediately entered the Treasure Pavilion located in the academy.

All eyes were on them. Bai Cai remained nonchalant, Wang Dong gave her Taunt look, and Xiao Xiao made a face.

Bei Bei gave a wry smile, stopped the protective Tang Ya, Huo Yuhao closed his eyes, ignoring the Taunt look in his eyes, and stepped straight into the representative area that resembled a gold ingot.

Now, the two sides are like oil and water. Although Huo Yuhao is a talented and promising individual, compared to Bai Cai, Wang Dong, and Xiao Xiao, who are like fish in a fire, he is like a mayfly trying to shake a tree.

Provoking the other party will only create a group of enemies. Not only is the genius unparalleled, but the conflict is also irreconcilable, which is simply a case of shooting oneself in the foot.

Of course, there were differences in relationships, but Bei Bei never regretted it.

Bai Cai and I, Xiao Ya, had only met once, Wang Dong and Xiao Xiao Ya were complete strangers to us. How could they compare to the bond between fellow disciples?

If Beibei had defeated Bai Cai, Bei Bei could have faced it with composure. Unfortunately, one wrong move led to total defeat, and now she can only manage a bitter smile.

In Soul Power Level, San Shi has already broken through to the Soul Ancestor, and he is close to level 40, while the opponent is at most a low-level Soul Elder.

In terms of combat experience, he and San Shi Soul Fighting Arena, while their opponent had only a handful.

The level of tacit understanding, Yuhao's first Soul Skill, possesses the dual characteristics of detection and sharing, making it incredibly powerful.

Ten-Thousand-Year Soul Skill is not unattainable; regardless, our side still holds an absolute advantage.

If we abandon the decapitation plan and confront them head-on, even if the enemy goes to great lengths to defeat San Shi, we can still turn the tide.

Sisi self-deprecation was evident in his words.

Bei Bei shook her head, pulled Tang Ya along, and followed Huo Yuhao.

Bai Cai, Wang Dong, Xiao Xiao went to the cafeteria together.

As the saying goes, "Man is made of iron, and food is made of steel." The excitement of getting the VIP card and the frustration of encountering Huo Yuhao did not stop Xiao Xiao and Bai Cai from quickly finishing their meal.

Putting aside his slight displeasure, Wang Dong swirled his spoon, sipping his soup while glancing at the Bai Cai.

After the meal, Wang Dong and Xiao Xiao started chatting. With the treasure appraisal event approaching, how could they possibly concentrate on their cultivation?

"Wang Dong, by how much will fusing with a Soul Bone amplify your power?"

Xiao Xiao asked hopefully, "After fusing the two Soul Bones, will my Soul Power Level catch up with the captain's?"

"We might be able to catch up, but haphazardly fusing Soul Bone will have very serious consequences."

Wang Dong solemnly warned, "Once you fuse with a conflicting Soul Bone, either your Soul Power will become stagnant and difficult to control, or your Martial Soul Mutation and its quality will decrease."

"The enhancements from most Soul Bone are mainly concentrated in four aspects: strength, agility, elemental attributes, and physical fitness, with relatively less enhancement to Soul Power."

"According to the description, that secret Soul Bone increases Soul Power by five percent, equivalent to half a percent of Soul Power. Better Soul Bone increase Soul Power by more than ten percent, equivalent to ten percent of Soul Power."

"How come it's only 10%?"

Xiao Xiao was shocked, "Where's Lightning Left Leg Bone?"

"One percent is already quite high. The boost from Soul Bone is mainly reflected in physical attributes. Moreover, the best way to absorb Soul Ring beyond one's limits is to fuse with Soul Bone."

Wang Dong hesitated slightly, "Lightning Left Leg Bone, based on my deduction, the Soul Power increase is about 15%."

"Infer?"

Xiao Xiao was quite suspicious, "Wang Dong..."

"In short, the sect I come from has a profound foundation, and there are quite a few relics from past generations. Unless the attributes match, the inherited Soul Bone are even more outstanding."

Wang Dong was unwilling to talk about the past. Xiao Xiao glanced at the Bai Cai and then changed the subject, "Captain, is physical fitness very important?"

Ten thousand years ago, during the exploratory stage of Soul Master cultivation, physical fitness was generally considered to be very important. However, in the modern era, some theories have been overturned or revised, including the theory of physical fitness.

The theory of physical fitness generally holds that the age of Soul Ring is closely related to physical fitness. However, the vast majority of weapon Soul Master do not conform to this theory, and even some beast Soul Master do not conform to this theory.
