Douluo Continent: Simulating Douluo Dalu III to Screw Over Tang San

"Did you feel it?" Gong Yu and his group had already set off for Sea God Island. The group consisted of thirteen people, including Liu Erlong, Ye Lingling, and Zhu Zhuqing. Suddenly, they sensed a powerful energy fluctuation, so he looked up towards the direction of the Star Dou Great Forest.

Most of the people were confused and looked at Gong Yu with puzzled expressions.

"It's a Hundred-Thousand-Year Soul Beast offering a sacrifice." As the Silver Dragon King, Na'er's senses were extremely sensitive, so she noticed the direction of the Star Dou Great Forest early on.

Upon hearing this, the girls were all taken aback, some even showing envy in their eyes, but most of them were dismissive, thinking that Hundred Thousand Year Soul Ring was nothing special.

"Indeed, that feeling is just like when that gorilla offered itself to me as a sacrifice," Gong Xiao said.

"I wonder who was so lucky to receive a sacrifice from a Hundred-Thousand-Year Soul Beast!" Gong Yu smiled slightly and said, "Never mind, we should focus on getting on our way. As for the Hundred Thousand Year Soul Ring, it's no longer important to us right now."

It wasn't that Gong Yu was bragging. Since the Soul Ring Spirit Ascension Platform was established a few years ago, increasing the age of spirit rings has no longer been a difficult task. So as long as they are willing to spend time gaining experience, they can upgrade all their Soul Ring to the 100,000-year level.

Upon hearing this, the women all nodded in agreement, acknowledging that getting on their way was indeed more important.

So the group of thirteen people stopped there and continued their journey towards the sea.

Two days later, the group finally arrived at Vast Sea City.

Vast Sea City is the largest city in the western border of the Heaven Dou Empire, and also the largest coastal and port city on the Douluo Continent.

The enormous city was built along the sea, or rather, on a mountain by the sea, and could not be shaken in the slightest by the ebb and flow of the tide.

The thick city walls were definitely of the main city level. Even before entering the city, the group could already faintly sense a salty aura.

At this moment, Gong Yu and his party had arrived at the city gate and disembarked from the carriage for a routine check.

The salty, pungent smell brought by the sea breeze made the women frown. Having lived inland for a long time, they were not used to this smell for a while.

Before long, the routine inspection was completed.

Their belongings were all in their Soul Tool, so nothing would be detected. The group didn't get back into the carriage and walked into the city instead.

Passing through the city walls and entering Vast Sea City, the salty aura became even stronger. Through observation, the group discovered that the people of Vast Sea City were somewhat different from those of the inland people.

People here are generally shorter in stature, and their skin is also darker than that of people inland.

The women's beautiful figures immediately attracted a lot of attention after they entered the city, with almost 100% turning their heads to look at them.

Seeing that it was almost dusk, the group discussed briefly and decided to stay overnight in Vast Sea City to rest before setting off again early the next morning.

The group quickly arrived at the best hotel in the city, booked several consecutive rooms, and checked in directly.

Chapter 281 Vast Sea Auction House

As evening fell and darkness descended, the Vast Sea City began to be illuminated by the first lights of the city.

Gong Yu led a group of girls into the Vast Sea Auction House.

Some things are in short supply and are not available in inland areas; they can only be bought in coastal cities.

The Vast Ocean Auction House was right next to the Great Soul Arena; the two were essentially one entity. After depositing a certain amount of Gold Soul Coin as collateral, Gong Yu and his group entered the auction house.

When everyone entered the venue, the auction had only just begun. The surrounding lighting was not very bright, and each guest held a paddle to bid on during the auction.

Instead of sitting down in the auction area, Gong Yu and the others booked a private room and went inside.

The group had just sat down when an item was brought up for auction on the stage.

The auctioneer then announced loudly, "Next, we will be auctioning a Soul Tool artifact, the Dragon Abyss Boat, best suited for use in near-shore areas and known as the conqueror of the sea."

The auctioneer's words caught Gong Yu's attention. At that moment, a hostess from the auction house brought out a brocade tray covered with a red cloth on the auction stage, on which was a rather strange-looking item.

The creature was spindle-shaped, with a dragon-head-shaped front end and a fish-tail-like upright tail. On each side were four wings that resembled fish fins.

Its entire body was milky white, as if it were carved from jade. It was about a foot long from head to tail. Even in the private room, Gong Yu and the others could still feel the energy fluctuations emanating from this object. It was obviously a Soul Tool.

"We might need this. Why don't we bid on it first?" Gong Yu said to Gong Lan beside him as he piloted the Dragon Abyss Boat. There was no other way; Gong Lan usually managed the accounts, and no one else, including Gong Yu, liked accounts or anything like that.

"Oh, okay, then let's take the picture." Gong Lan responded with a smile.

At this moment, the auctioneer on the auction stage announced loudly again, "This Soul Tool is the Dragon Abyss Boat, an ancient artifact. It requires Soul Master to activate it with Soul Power to reveal its true form."

Its prototype was about twelve meters long and two meters in diameter at its widest point, capable of accommodating twelve to fifteen passengers at a time. It could ascend and descend in the sea, sailing on the surface and diving into the water. It was said to be able to dive to a depth of up to three hundred meters.

"With the Dragon Abyss Boat, one need not fear any storms when sailing on the high seas. In the event of a large storm, it can immediately dive into deep water, making it a truly invaluable life-saving vessel. It is extremely suitable for both sightseeing at sea and for use as a life-saving tool."

"When it transforms into its true form, it becomes completely transparent, allowing one to see objects in the ocean from any angle. It's truly amazing."

Furthermore, it can withstand attacks from Soul Skill at the level of Hundred-Year Soul Beast. Since terrifying Sea Soul Beast often inhabit the deep sea, we advise that whoever acquires this item should not venture into the deep sea in it to avoid danger.

After listening to the auctioneer's introduction, the group of girls also felt that the Dragon Abyss Boat was a pretty good item. The most important thing was that they could ride it to dive into the sea and enjoy the scenery from the water. The girls were also curious about what the deep sea was like.

As the auctioneer approached, he announced, "The starting price is ten thousand Gold Soul Coin. Distinguished guests, you may now place your bids."

Ten thousand Gold Soul Coin is a considerable sum, but it is still far from enough compared to the value of this Dragon Abyss Boat. The Dragon Abyss Boat can dive to a depth of three hundred meters, which shows that its materials are of excellent quality. It is definitely a rare Soul Tool.

Unfortunately, in the end, the surroundings were completely quiet, and no one bid. Clearly, in many people's eyes, this thing was not worth spending 10,000 Gold Soul Coin to buy.

Furthermore, the open sea is too dangerous; even in shallow waters, there is a possibility of encountering Thousand-Year Soul Beast. The Dragon Abyss Boat's defensive capabilities are simply insufficient to provide peace of mind. Therefore, in the hands of a weak Soul Master, this thing is practically useless.

Finally, due to the location of Vast Sea City, the vast majority of the Soul Master living here are Sea Soul Master, who all have the ability to stir up storms and swim freely in the sea, so there is no need for something like the Dragon Abyss Boat.

The auctioneer couldn't help but feel a little disappointed. In fact, this Dragon Abyss Boat had been auctioned many times, and each time it ended in failure. Every time it was auctioned, this kind of quiet scene would appear. However, in order to maintain the reputation of the auction house, they dared not exaggerate the defensive capabilities of the Dragon Abyss Boat.

Just when the auctioneer thought the item was going to fail to sell again, the lights outside VIP room number 2 suddenly lit up.

The flashing lights immediately attracted everyone's attention, but unfortunately, the auction house's private rooms were all separated by black glass, so those inside could see out, but those outside could not see in. All they could see was a light shining from the window of that private room.

"Alright, room number 2, bids 10,000 Gold Soul Coin. Any further bids? 10,000 Gold Soul Coin, first bid, second bid, third bid, sold." The auctioneer's voice betrayed barely concealed urgency, as if afraid the bidder might back out, and he quickly completed the transaction.

The auction continued, but none of the many items that came up for auction caught the eye of Gong Yu and the others.

Just then, a hostess brought out a brocade tray, which was covered with a red cloth.

The hostess came to the center of the auction stage and stood next to the auctioneer.

But then the auctioneer raised his hand and lifted the red cloth covering the tray, revealing a glass case to everyone.

But inside that glass case was a dark, indistinct lump.

Although the dark, unsightly object was quite ugly, the moment the guests saw it, the entire venue erupted in excitement.

However, the people in room number 2 lacked that kind of knowledge, so none of them understood what it was. They simply couldn't figure out what the dark, blob-like thing was for.

Hearing the cheers from the guests, the auctioneer on stage felt confident that things were going well; since everyone was knowledgeable, there was no shortage of competitors.

The auctioneer then began, "Judging from everyone's reaction, I believe you all know what this is. Nevertheless, I still need to introduce it. Yes, this is Whale Rubber."

As soon as the auctioneer's voice faded, Gong Xue, in VIP room number 2, couldn't wait and whispered, "What is Whale Rubber? Have you ever heard of it?"

The group of people around them were visiting a coastal city for the first time and naturally didn't know about Whale Rubber, a rare and precious natural treasure, so they all shook their heads.

Suddenly, the girls who were shaking their heads to indicate they didn't know stopped what they were doing and all looked at Gong Yu. In their view, with Gong Yu's extensive knowledge, he should know what Whale Rubber was.

Chapter 282 Ten-Thousand-Year Whale Glue

Gong Yu gave an awkward smile. He was used to it; whenever the girls around him discovered something new and unfamiliar, they would usually look at him like that.

"I do know what Whale Rubber is." With a soft sigh, Gong Yu said, "Whale Rubber is a rare and precious material, a special substance produced in the brain of whales, a Soul Beast. It has excellent nourishing effects on Soul Master; to put it simply, consuming it can increase Soul Power."

Upon hearing this, the women's eyes lit up. A way to increase Soul Power was a valuable item, and they certainly couldn't let it go.

Seeing the women's expressions, Gong Yu knew what they were thinking. He shook his head with a wry smile and continued to explain, "Whale Rubber comes in two types: thousand-year-old and ten-thousand-year-old. The thousand-year-old kind is mostly golden yellow, or you could say it looks like poop. The ten-thousand-year-old kind is black, and it still looks like a pile of poop, just like that thing on the stage."

Hearing Gong Yu describe Whale Rubber as excrement, the women felt nauseous. They hadn't thought much of it before, but now they felt it wasn't just like excrement, it was practically a pile of excrement.

Seeing that his words had made the women uncomfortable, Gong Yu spoke again, "That thing won't be of much use to most of you, since most of you are already Soul Saint. It might be of some use to Zhu Zhuqing and Lingling, so there's no harm in bidding for it."

Among the group of girls, apart from Zhu Zhuqing who was still at level 59 and Ye Lingling who was still at level 58, all the other girls were Soul Saint, while Liu Erlong had the highest Soul Power, having reached the Soul Douluo level.

Then Gong Yu turned his gaze to Zhu Zhuqing and Ye Lingling and said, "But you'll have to endure the disgust of eating shit and try the taste of Whale Rubber. Don't be shy, that stuff can increase Soul Power and improve physical condition. Your levels are already lagging behind, so you can only try to make up for it with external things."

Upon hearing Gong Yu's words, Zhu Zhuqing and Ye Lingling immediately looked miserable. They didn't mind eating Whale Rubber, but Gong Yu's analogy of eating excrement was truly unacceptable.

"Brother Yu, please stop talking." Na'er's expression also turned somewhat unpleasant. Gong Yu didn't actually need to make that kind of analogy, but he just deliberately said it that way.

Gong Yu laughed awkwardly again, "Okay, okay, I won't say anything, but Whale Rubber is indeed a good thing, so we need to film it."

At this point, the auctioneer on stage had finished explaining the uses of the Whale Rubber and then began calling out the bids, "This Ten-Thousand-Year Whale Glue, starting price 50,000 Gold Soul Coin, each bid must be at least 1,000 Gold Soul Coin higher, bidding now begins."

After the auctioneer's voice faded, the guests began to shout out their bids in a flurry.

The competition was so fierce that the bidding price was pushed up to around 80,000 Gold Soul Coin before the rate of increase gradually slowed down. Even so, there were still scattered bids being made.

Seeing that the bidding had reached a certain point, Gong Yu said to Gong Lan, "Lan'er, it's your turn."

Gong Lan nodded, then pressed the indicator light button next to her.

After the indicator light for the private room came on, some of the guests who were bidding earlier dropped their bids, but they still continued to participate.

So the price of Whale Rubber was raised again, eventually reaching 100,000 Gold Soul Coin before stopping.

Of course, 100,000 Gold Soul Coin was the final price Gong Lan offered. If the price were raised further, she would not continue bidding, as instructed by Gong Yu.

Those who had been bidding against Gong Lan earlier gave up when they saw that the price of Whale Rubber had been driven up to 100,000 Gold Soul Coin.

Therefore, the auctioneer finally announced the auction result, and the prize was awarded to Room 2, which belonged to Gong Yu and her group.

After acquiring two items, none of the subsequent items presented could attract Gong Yu's attention, so no further bidding took place in VIP room number 2 until the end of the auction.

After the auction, Gong Yu and her group went backstage to pay and collect their winnings before returning to their hotel.

Upon returning to the hotel, Gong Yu took Zhu Zhuqing and Ye Lingling to a private room and had them consume the Ten-Thousand-Year Whale Glue they had obtained at the auction.

After the two girls consumed the Ten-Thousand-Year Whale Glue, they immediately entered a meditative state, and Gong Yu had no choice but to stand by and protect them.

Nothing more was said that night.

The next morning, Zhu Zhuqing and Ye Lingling slowly awoke from their meditation. Both of them had thick, dark impurities on their bodies, clearly indicating that their physical condition had improved due to the consumption of Whale Rubber.

Seeing that the two girls had woken up, Gong Yu quickly asked, "How are you feeling?"

The two women exchanged a glance, and then Zhu Zhuqing spoke first, "I don't feel anything else, but my Soul Power has reached the bottleneck of level sixty."

Ye Lingling also spoke up, "My Soul Power has reached the level 60 bottleneck; I only need one more Soul Ring to become Soul Emperor."

Gong Yu nodded. Zhu Zhuqing reaching level 60 was within his expectations, but Ye Lingling's direct advancement of two levels was unexpected.

He slowly said, "It seems that Zhu Zhuqing's Soul Power is more than just level one. She probably hasn't obtained her Sixth Soul Ring yet, so her specific Soul Power Level hasn't been revealed."

Looking at the stains on the two women's bodies, Gong Yu said, "Alright, you two go wash up first. After you've cleaned up the filth, we can all have breakfast together, and then it'll be time to set sail."

The two women exchanged another glance, smiled at each other, and nodded.

About an hour later, all the women got up, and once everyone was there, they had breakfast together.

After having breakfast, the group checked out of the hotel.

After leaving the hotel, Gong Yu and the others traversed the entire city, exiting through the west gate of Vast Sea City. They then descended the rocks along a wide road specially carved out of the reefs outside the city and headed straight for the dock.

To get to the sea from Vast Sea City Wharf, you have to take this road. So, although building a road on the reef is difficult, the Vast Sea City authorities have spared no effort to keep the road in good condition.

The entire dock was enormous, with at least twenty piers, each hundreds of meters long, extending into the sea and housing hundreds of ships. It could be said to be the starting and ending point of maritime trade, and one of the biggest sources of revenue for the entire Vast Sea City.

Although the sea is teeming with powerful Soul Beast, it also holds boundless wealth. Living off the sea has long been an unchanging truth in the Vast Sea City.

Even though people lose their lives to Sea Soul Beast every year, it doesn't change the situation.

Furthermore, its proximity to the sea and the abundance of salt fields represent a substantial source of profit.

There were countless boats of all sizes available for rent at the dock. Gong Yu and the others chose one that looked decent and went over.

The ship was fifty meters long and over twenty meters wide, which, while not large for a seagoing vessel, was still quite substantial.

Upon closer inspection, one can see that beneath the iron-gray paint on the hull is a thick layer of iron armor protecting the ship, meeting the requirements in terms of both quality and appearance.

Chapter 283 Going to Sea

"Welcome to the Ocean-Going Ship. Are you all looking to rent a boat for a sea voyage?" As Gong Yu and the others boarded the large ship along the deck, a middle-aged man who looked to be in his fifties came up to them, laughing heartily and making a welcoming gesture.

"Are you the captain of this ship?" Gong Yu stepped forward and asked. He was the only man in the group, and he couldn't let the girls ask him.

"Yes, I am Haider, the captain of this ship," the middle-aged man said with great poise. "There are several other ships around here that also belong to me, such as the Sea Demon Ship, the Long Voyage Ship, and the Sea Ghost Ship..."

Upon hearing the captain's introduction, Gong Yu's pupils contracted slightly, but he didn't say much. However, he had already become wary. Gong Yu might not know the other ship numbers, but he still had some impression of the Sea Demon Ship.

In Gong Yu's memory, if the historical development were to proceed normally, Tang San and the others would have set sail on the Sea Demon Ship, but little did she know that the Sea Demon Ship was a black ship.

Although she remained calm on the sidelines, Gong Yu had already become wary of Haider.
