Auction House-And You Still Dare Claim to Be Unrivaled on the Continent?

Mu En had no idea what Xuan Zi was thinking; otherwise, he might have really taken the drastic step of stripping Xuan Zi of all his positions and making him a nobody.

Although this would cause Xuan Zi to completely give up and have his Soul Power permanently stuck at Level 98, it's still better than letting him continue to harm people like this!

However, Xuan Zi did not think he had any problem with this at all.

In Xuan Zi's view, protecting the glory that Shrek has maintained for ten thousand years is something that every Shrek member should do.

That is to say, there is an age limit for the Soul Master Competition; otherwise, who knows what Xuan Zi might do.

After making the decision, Xuan Zi did not hesitate for a moment and immediately flew at full speed towards the location of Star Luo City.

Although I reminded Bei Bei, Xu Sanshi and the others before I left that they should protect Glory of Shrek and never let Shrek be disgraced.

But no one can guarantee that they won't have the thought of backing down when faced with a powerful opponent.

Regardless, they are only members of the reserve team and have not yet joined the Inner Court. They will not be as willing to dedicate everything to Shrek as the students of the Inner Court, having undergone the true baptism of Shrek's glory.

A day has passed since the end of the first round of the competition, and the second round of the round-robin tournament will begin tomorrow. However, the students of the Sun Moon Imperial Soul Engineer Academy have received invitations from Starfall Auction House.

Huo Yuhao examined the exquisitely crafted invitation in his hand, raised an eyebrow, and asked.

"An auction at Star Luo Auction House? May I ask what outstanding items are featured in this auction?"

If Huo Yuhao remembered correctly, the auction in the original novel that contained the Snow Empress Embryo should have been held by the Star Luo Auction House. Before that, there was a smaller auction where a Ranked Engraving Knife made of the Gold of Life would appear.

But are we now skipping that small auction and incorporating the best items from it into this Starfall Auction House auction?

As the auctioneer, Qingya spoke with a polite and gentle smile.

"Yes, this auction features various medicinal herbs, Soul Tool, and Soul Bone. If you are interested, you can use this invitation to participate in the auction at the Star Luo Auction House tonight."

After Huo Yuhao nodded in agreement, Qingya bowed slightly.

"Then, I won't disturb your rest any longer."

After Qingya left, Huo Yuhao waved the invitation in his hand and asked with a smile.

"Anyone want to come with me to the auction?"

Xiao Hongchen was the first to respond, but not in agreement; he simply pouted and said disdainfully.

"What good stuff can you find at this auction? The Soul Tool that Star Luo Empire has are at most things that we Sun Moon deliberately leaked out to mislead people, or things that we sold to them at high prices but with low quality."

Huo Yuhao shrugged slightly, seemingly unconcerned.

"That's hard to say. After all, Star Luo Empire is an empire that has been passed down for so many years. It must have some hidden treasures. Moreover, there is always the possibility of finding a bargain at an auction."

"The most important thing is not to be complacent and stuck in your ways, otherwise, what's the difference between you and those guys who just cling to the so-called traditions of Soul Master and work in isolation?"

Upon hearing this, all the teachers and students of the Sun Moon Imperial Soul Engineer Academy turned to look at Xiao Hongchen Xiao Hongchen to blush instantly and hurriedly try to defend himself.

"I... I didn't mean that! Okay, I'll go with you!"

Seeing Xiao Hongchen's expression, cheerful laughter immediately filled the room.

In contrast, the atmosphere in the room where the Shrek Academy teachers and students were on the next floor was somber.

Shrek also received an invitation from Qingya, inviting them to participate in tonight's auction. However, when they heard Wang Yan say that he planned to buy some Soul Tool suitable for them at the auction, everyone fell silent again.

Wang Yan was in a bad mood, and his face turned rather pale.

He truly couldn't understand why, after all these people had experienced the Death God Envoy incident and had all walked through the gates of hell, they were still so resistant to Soul Tool.

Didn't they see that Zhu Lu, who had the Invincible Barrier given to her by Ning Tian, was not harmed at all during that Corpse Explosion?

Most importantly, after watching the competition all day, the vast majority of the academy contestants were equipped with Soul Tool that suited them. Are they going to ignore this undeniable fact?

Perhaps the only exception present was Ning Tian.

Ning Tian had no intention of participating at all. She sat calmly to the side, lost in thought. She had a clear understanding of herself and was determined to slack off in this competition. No matter how intense the battle was, she would just stand in the back and use the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile Pagoda to give the others a few buffs.

Although they knew that Shrek Academy was destined to be disgraced in this Soul Master Competition, even a weakened camel is still bigger than a horse. Although the Nine Treasure Glazed Tile Sect was very rich, it still dared not completely break ties with the Shrek Academy.

This atmosphere lasted for a long time, and seeing that no one was expressing their opinion, Wang Yan said somewhat angrily.

"How long are you going to remain so stubborn? Do you have to experience another tragedy before you realize the importance of Soul Tool? If everyone had Invincible Barrier like Zhu Lu before, would there have been such severe casualties when they encountered the Death God Envoy? He Caitou, tell them, if they had the protection of Invincible Barrier, wouldn't the situation have been different!"

Facing everyone's gaze, He Caitou hesitated for a moment before speaking in a deep voice.

"If it were the kind of Invincible Barrier that Junior Sister Ning Tian brought out, I can't guarantee that everyone would be unharmed. We might get injured in the Corpse Explosion, but no one would die."

He Caitou's words made everyone even more silent.

Because everyone recalled that Ning Tian had given them several opportunities before, but none of them were willing to cherish them. Even Zhu Lu's Invincible Barrier was something Ning Tian forced upon her.

Realizing this, Zhu Lu gratefully grasped Ning Tian's hand, while Ning Tian patted her arm casually to comfort her.

Seeing this, Dai Huabin slowly lowered his head, trying his best not to let others see his expression and eyes, because even he knew that his thoughts were very distorted.

Dai Huabin now feels no gratitude whatsoever towards Ning Tian, who saved his fiancée; on the contrary, he is filled with resentment towards her.

If Ning Tian had also forcibly given him an Invincible Barrier back then, then why would he have had his kidney ripped out by that damned Death God Envoy?

The psychologically twisted Dai Huabin never even considered how he had mocked and ridiculed Ning Tian back then!

Ma Xiaotao, whose face was still very pale, looked around and said in a deep voice.

"Even without Soul Tool, Shrek's Soul Master are still unparalleled on the continent!"

Hearing these unrepentant words, Wang Yan was furious. In order to make Ma Xiaotao face reality, he even went so far as to expose what she had been afraid to face for the past few days.

"Ma Xiaotao! Gongyang Mo wanted to borrow an Invincible Barrier from Ning Tian, but you stopped him! You even said that with you there, nothing would happen to Gongyang Mo. Now, can you tell me if you've protected Gongyang Mo?"
