Peerless Tang Sect: Hurricane Infinite Wind

Chapter 87 Soul Guidance Device Auction House
Round robin games are played every other day. Like Shrek Academy's first group, each team has to go through seven games. If you want to qualify, you must defeat at least five opponents. It takes six wins to be safe.

Two days later, the first round of the round-robin tournament concluded. Compared to the knockout rounds, the round-robin tournament was much more peaceful. Each team adjusted their tactics, and each match required more technical skill than usual. But the desperate intensity of the knockout rounds was gone.

The first round of eliminations still affected the round-robin tournament. Teams whose main players were injured adjusted their tactics. The technical content of each game was higher than the original one, but it did not have the fierceness of the do-or-die battle in the elimination rounds.

However, anyone with a discerning eye could see that when the next few rounds of the tournament began, the intensity of the competition would rise sharply, because many teams could no longer afford to lose.

night.

"Teacher Wang Yan, where are we going?" Beibei asked Wang Yan puzzledly.

One day has passed since the end of the first round, and tomorrow they will start the second round of the round robin. But Wang Yan took seven people from the reserve team out of the Star Emperor Hotel after dinner.

This was the busiest place in the entire Xingluo City. As soon as they went out, they were overwhelmed by the bustling crowd.

Wang Yan smiled slightly and said, "I'm taking you somewhere. Just follow me. Lately, we've been completing inspection missions and competing, and everyone's spirits are always tense. It's not good to always be like this. I'm taking you out to relax and unwind. It will also be good for your upcoming competition."

Relax?

Everyone's expressions became a little strange, but no one asked any more questions and continued to follow Wang Yan.

After crossing several streets, the group stopped in front of a building with a pointed roof. The building wasn't particularly conspicuous. Compared to the taller structures around it, while it was quite large, it didn't stand out too much. Above the main entrance hung a sign with a hammer image. Beneath the hammer was what appeared to be a golden table pattern.

Seeing the sign, Huo Yuhao asked in surprise, "What is this place?"

Wang Dong said, "This is an auction house. Look at the pattern on the sign. The intricately carved hammer is the style of an auction."

Wang Yan turned around and looked at everyone and said, "After these few days of competition, I've noticed that this year's Continental Advanced Soul Master Academy Soul Fighting Competition is very different from previous ones. The difference is that there are very few pure soul master academies anymore. The direction of development for all academies is the integration of soul instructors and soul masters."

"Fusion?" Beibei frowned slightly, "Teacher Wang, how do you fuse?"

Wang Yan said, "There are many ways to integrate. For some ordinary academies, the simplest way is to work hard to train their own soul masters, and then purchase soul guides to equip these soul masters. It is enough for them to know how to operate the soul guides. Even if their operation of soul guides is not as sophisticated as that of soul masters, it can still enhance their combat effectiveness. Pure soul masters are becoming increasingly rare."

"Almost every participating soul master academy student is equipped with soul guides. This is especially true for some academies that are strong enough. They have also opened up separate soul guide departments. Not only do they have soul guides in their teams, but they also customize soul guides for other soul master students, greatly improving their overall strength."

"I'll give you a simple example and you'll understand. For example, if a powerful attacking spirit master like Wang Dong were equipped with a spirit tool that increases speed, what would happen if she could use it freely? At the same time, if she were equipped with some life-saving defensive spirit tools to take advantage of her weakness in defense, wouldn't that allow her to unleash her full strength without any worries?"

"That's why I wanted to bring you to this small auction. I wanted to equip you with some soul guides.

Everyone fell silent upon hearing this, seemingly still somewhat resistant to spirit guides. Wang Dong's face flushed crimson. Wang Yan had roasted him, practically declaring him useless in team competitions. "Yes, Teacher Wang, but offensive spirit guides won't do much for us. If we could equip some defensive spirit guides, we could be more adventurous in our tactics on the field," Wu Xuan said calmly, stroking his chin.

After hearing Wu Xuan's words, everyone's interest was clearly piqued. They were very averse to offensive soul guides, even hated them from the bottom of their hearts. But they could accept defensive soul guides! In the subsequent competitions, everyone had naturally witnessed the use of soul guides by disciples from other academies, and defensive soul guides often had unexpected effects.

Seeing Wu Xuan, Bei Bei, Xu Sanshi, Xiao Xiao, and Huo Yuhao nodding in succession, Wang Yan turned his gaze to Wang Dong and Jiang Nannan.

Jiang Nannan hesitated for a moment before saying, "But, you'll need to spend money to buy soul guides in the future. Besides, soul guides seem to be very expensive."

After hearing her somewhat bizarre statement, everyone was stunned.

Xu Sanshi said almost subconsciously: "I'll buy it for you!"

Jiang Nannan seemed to remember something, and immediately raised her eyebrows and shouted angrily: "Get out!"

"Uh..." Xu Sanshi seemed to have thought of something, and lowered his head obediently when he was scolded.

Wang Yan said gently, "Nannan, you don't need to worry about this. The academy will take care of the funding issue. At least before you graduate, you don't have to worry about this. You are already a core disciple. If you can enter the inner courtyard in the future, the academy will provide you with a generous living allowance. There are even bonuses for performing supervisory tasks. We Shrek Academy students have never been troubled by money."

Jiang Nannan's eyes lit up and she immediately said, "Then I have no problem with that either."

Seeing that the situation was settled, Wang Yan breathed a sigh of relief and said with a chuckle, "That's great. Wang Dong, what about you? You're okay too, right? Then let's go in and participate in the auction."

What no one expected was that Wang Dong, who had been silent the entire time, suddenly raised his head, a determined look in his eyes. He said resolutely, "No, I have a problem. I don't want to use soul guides. I get sick of them. You guys go! I'm going back first." As he spoke, he turned and walked away, striding towards the Xinghuang Hotel.

Wang Dong's sudden change of mood surprised everyone. No one expected that after Wang Yan helped Wang Dong analyze the pros and cons in detail, he would actually object.

This is a brainless black.

Huo Yuhao hurriedly chased after him and had a conversation with him. After watching Wang Dong leave, Huo Yuhao walked back with a sigh.

Huo Yuhao returned to the crowd and explained, "He's fine, he just doesn't like soul guides. Teacher Wang, let's go."

Wang Yan nodded and smiled, "It's alright. Everyone has their own aspirations. I never thought all of you would agree with me, but I'm already satisfied that the six of you are willing to give it a try. Let's go, the auction is about to begin."

Wu Xuan lowered his eyes. According to the few memories he had from his previous life, he remembered that this auction seemed to be auctioning a soul guide carving knife made of gold of living things. Now that he was there, he had to get it. However, he had to think carefully about how to deal with the curse.
