Assessment

The three Soul Bones at the entrance attracted a lot of attention, and there was no shortage of "old friends" among the crowd.

Ning Tian and Dai Huabin were both watching, and Bei Bei and Xu Sanshi also had their own ideas.

Dai Huabin saw Ji Siyuan and the other two passing by, and knowing they were heading for an appraisal, he flashed the purple card in his hand.

With a snort, Wang Dong'er burst into laughter: "Dai Huabin is actually showing off his purple card to us; I really can't help myself."

Dai Huabin was showing off his status, but in their eyes, it was just a bit cute (stupid).

The young girl leading the way paused, and following the direction Wang Dong'er pointed, she saw the card in Dai Huabin's hand. She apologized to the three of them: "I am sorry, three distinguished guests, this was an oversight on the part of our Treasure Pavilion. The Treasure Pavilion will add one thousand Gold Soul Coins to each of your accounts."

At the same time, after Dai Huabin flashed his purple card, staff members began walking toward him.

"What are you doing? This is my VIP status, how dare you take it? You bastards!" Dai Huabin's voice was loud, immediately drawing a large crowd to watch. His purple card was confiscated by the staff, and he lost his corresponding privileges.

The girl bowed in apology: "The Treasure Pavilion does not allow the disclosure of one's own privileges. Furthermore, the previous guest's behavior was a provocation toward three distinguished guests, so the Treasure Pavilion will revoke or downgrade the other party's privileges after evaluation, and they will be prohibited from entering the Treasure Pavilion for a period of time."

Huo Yuhao felt very satisfied; that's what Dai Huabin gets for being a jerk!

If you tell others, the Treasure Pavilion might turn a blind eye. But if you provoke others inside the Treasure Pavilion, that is your own fault. The Treasure Pavilion is now exercising its authority.

Ji Siyuan, however, thought of another problem: "Damn, this little brat won't count this against us and find people to retaliate, will he?"

"This is Shrek City, and it's not far from the academy; he wouldn't be that stupid, right?" After Wang Dong'er said this, she felt there was a problem herself. Dai Huabin's IQ really couldn't be judged by normal standards; he was very likely to be exactly that stupid.

"Should we find someone to protect us?" Huo Yuhao asked.

The girl beside them said nothing. (Within the Treasure Pavilion, they guarantee the safety of their guests, but outside the Treasure Pavilion, it is beyond their sphere of influence.)

Tang San: "The time is too short; they won't be able to find anyone capable of taking you down. The three of you—two Soul Grand Masters and one Soul Ancestor—are quite a decent combat force."

Having fought above his level so many times, even Tang San subconsciously categorized him as a Soul Ancestor.

"Uncle, although the script I saw is scrapped, the thugs Dai Huabin finds in it are one Soul Emperor and several Soul Kings."

"Pray for your own luck." Tang San estimated that Ji Siyuan would not be able to escape using normal means and would eventually have to use his second martial soul.

A fighting spirit suddenly surged in Ji Siyuan's eyes: "If it's only a few Soul Kings, maybe if we bring Bei Bei and the others, we can kill them all."

Fighting above their level was a specialty of geniuses like them; not only were their martial souls powerful, but their Soul Ring configurations were also superior to ordinary people. The three of them were even above the average genius.

They no longer held any hope for Dai Huabin's IQ; they could only hope that this guy wouldn't find any powerful Soul Masters to help him.

Ji Siyuan: "After the appraisal, let's go find Bei Bei and the others. There is more safety in numbers."

Wang Dong'er snorted coldly; she was even more dissatisfied with Dai Huabin now: "My status must be higher than Dai Huabin's!"

Huo Yuhao had the same thought, and even more than Wang Dong'er, he wanted to use this status to prove that he was stronger than Dai Huabin.

Ji Siyuan, on the other hand, was indifferent. Could the three of them really be worse than Dai Huabin? It would be a miracle if they didn't crush him.

The girl led the three of them to the appraisal point. Their appraisal began.

The so-called appraisal was nothing more than filling in their names, martial souls, Soul Power Levels, and the like, then waiting for the Treasure Pavilion to evaluate them.

Wang Dong'er poked Ji Siyuan: "How did you finish writing so quickly?"

"Because our information is not a secret to the Treasure Pavilion." Ji Siyuan was very clear about this. Huo Yuhao and Wang Dong'er didn't understand and were still debating whether to write down their second martial souls.

In the end, for the sake of secrecy, they only wrote down one martial soul.

Before long, the girl returned with two cards.

The blood-red cards had faint gold patterns and felt warm to the touch. "Red Spirit Warm Jade? What a grand gesture." As a Soul Tool Master, Huo Yuhao knew quite a bit about Red Spirit Warm Jade.

Ji Siyuan: "Is the status level distributed according to the color of the Soul Rings?"

The girl was stunned for a moment, then immediately replied: "Your guess is very correct; it is indeed graded according to the color of the Soul Rings. White is the lowest, and red was the previous highest level."

As she spoke, she handed the two red cards to Wang Dong'er and Huo Yuhao.

"Mr. Huo Yuhao, Miss Wang Dong'er, you two are top-tier VIPs of our Spirit Gathering Pavilion. With this top-tier VIP card, you will receive a forty percent discount on all purchases in this pavilion. At the same time, you can receive one item of your choice from our Treasure Appraisal Fair every year, with no price limit."

"No price limit?" Huo Yuhao knew the weight of this statement. Those three Soul Bones at the entrance were likely prepared for them.

Even at a massive discount, the price of a Ten Thousand Year Soul Bone was not something that could be bought with the million Gold Soul Coins they had on hand.

"How many of these top-tier VIP cards does your Treasure Pavilion have?"

The girl in charge of guiding them: "I am very sorry, that is a secret I do not know and cannot disclose. Moreover, different VIPs have different privileges. I have never seen anyone like you two, who can take away any item at will."

Huo Yuhao: "Then Siyuan..." He realized something was wrong and pointed at Ji Siyuan: "What about his? Why is there no card for him?" No matter how you looked at it, Ji Siyuan should have VIP status.

The girl: "This gentleman's card is still being prepared. It may take some time, so please wait a moment, the three of you."

After saying this, she stood to the side and waited quietly.

The three of them didn't want to make a fuss, and waiting a little while wasn't a big deal.

Not long after, another girl dressed in a gold skirt brought over a tray with a blue-gold card on it: "Mr. Ji Siyuan, this is your VIP card."

She respectfully handed it to Ji Siyuan.

"Sea Blue Refined Gold!" Tang San suddenly spoke up; he recognized this metal, or rather, mineral. "Some people call this mineral Sea God Gold, but in fact, Sea God Gold is a different metal."

Hearing the name, Ji Siyuan also knew that the value of this thing was definitely above that of the Red Spirit Warm Jade. The name was just too perfect; it contained both "Sea God" and the word "Gold."

As expected, the girl in the short skirt introduced: "Mr. Ji Siyuan, you are our most distinguished VIP. You are also the only person currently holding a gold VIP card. You can choose any three items from the Treasure Appraisal Fair each year, and you have absolute priority. Any item with a cost price will be sold to you at cost, and special items will also be discounted by forty percent with priority purchasing rights."

Wang Dong'er was left dumbfounded: "How is there even a Gold VIP card?"

As she spoke, she recalled the stories told in class, while Huo Yuhao thought of her own first Soul Ring. Gold was above blood-red; clearly, this thing had just been added to Ji Siyuan's rank, placing it even higher than blood-red.

"You're really being valued," Wang Dong'er said, looking at the Sea God Gold with a hint of envy.

Ji Siyuan waved his hand: "Sigh, I'm not giving it to you."

"You guy!" Wang Dong'er, who had been looking for an excuse, immediately pounced on Ji Siyuan to roughhouse.

Huo Yuhao: "It seems like all of this is distributed according to our talent. Could it be that this place really is an academy asset, just like Siyuan said?"

A voice rang out in their ears: "This is indeed an academy asset. Do not become complacent just because of these perks! You must utilize these resources to cultivate even better." The one speaking was naturally Lin Huiqun; she intended to guide the three of them toward obtaining those three Soul Bones.
