Douluo: Purple Brilliance Shines, Sun, Moon, Mountains and Rivers Are Forever

Chapter 49 Divine Skills, That’s Another Price
The elimination round lasted for three full days and finally came to an end.

The second round of competition that follows is a round-robin tournament. The promoted colleges need to compete with other colleges in the same group in turn. The competition method is based on on-site drawing, which includes two-two-three tactics, seven-person team battle and individual battle.

"Enter."

Xu Tiance was looking through the information sent by Hawke, which recorded some basic information and specialties of soul engineers. They were mainly level five and level six soul engineers, and there were also some level seven soul engineers.

In recent years, with the strong support of Emperor Xingluo, the development of the Xingluo Empire in the field of soul guides has accelerated significantly. Although it is still far behind the Sun-Moon Empire, it has secretly poached many soul guides from the Sun-Moon Empire and learned a lot of advanced soul guide technologies.

He looked up at the person who came, then put down the information in his hand and said, "Mr. Ma, is today's game over?"

"Yes, Your Highness."

Seeing that Mr. Ma still had a gloomy face and looked unhappy, Xu Tiance pretended to be nonchalant and asked, "Mr. Ma, what's wrong? Who offended you?"

"Your Highness, in today's round-robin match, one of Shrek's reserve players achieved a feat of defeating seven opponents with one."

"Oh? Which academy is so useless that it was wiped out by a reserve member of Shrek?"

"Shrek's opponent is Yunluo Advanced Soul Instructor Academy."

Xu Tiance nodded thoughtfully, "Hmm, I haven't heard of it."

"Mr. Ma, how much do you know about the situation of that reserve member?"

"His name is Xu Sanshi, his martial soul is the Mysterious Nether Turtle, and he's a fourth-ringed defensive-type combat soul master. His fourth soul skill, 'Mysterious Nether Exchange,' is truly a divine skill. Within a certain range, he can instantly switch positions with his opponent, making it impossible to defend against."

"Xu Sanshi...it's him." Xu Tiance's fingers tapped rhythmically on the table.

If he remembered correctly, Xu Sanshi and Beibei were known as the "Twin Stars of the Outer Court" in Shrek Academy. His martial spirit would awaken and become the mythical beast Black Tortoise, while Beibei's martial spirit would evolve into the Holy Dragon of Light.

Before Huo Yuhao fully grew up, it was the two of them who were responsible for carrying the team.

Based on what he learned about the game from Mr. Ma, Xu Sanshi probably hasn't really shown his full strength in the game yet.

"Shrek, even if only the reserve team is left, they should not be underestimated."

"Your Highness, in the next tournament, both that kid pretending to have six hundred thousand year spirit rings and this Xu Sanshi will be the main players of Shrek Academy. By then, they will definitely become Your Highness's formidable opponents."

"What does the next tournament have to do with me? I only promised my father to participate in this tournament. The next tournament will have a different price."

"Another...another price?"

Xu Tiance stood up and patted Ma Lao's broad shoulders. "Ma Lao, don't think too much. Let him be strong, the breeze blows over the hills. We just need to take care of our own business."

"My own business? What's that?"

"Consumption."

Under Mr. Ma's confused gaze, Xu Tiance walked straight out of the room, leaving behind a receding figure.

There will be an auction at the Starlight Auction House today. He has made an appointment with Xiao Hongchen and Meng Hongchen to go together to find some good stuff and relax at the same time.

Starlight Auction.

The ten-foot-wide corridor was paved with ice-veined ivory-white jade. Carved jade pillars on either side supported the five-meter-high dome. Intricate relief carvings adorned the gold-foil walls, reflecting a shimmering light from the crystal chandeliers. A hostess in a long red dress led the way, the gilded floor tiles reflecting the folds of her skirt.

"Ace, today's auction is a special auction of soul guides. The specifications are not high. Only soul guides below level six will be auctioned. If you need a soul guide, I can make it for you myself. Why come here?"

"Of course I don't need to buy a soul guide. I came here to try my luck and see if there is a carving knife that suits me."

"Carving knife? Ah Ce, are you kidding me? You still need this? If you really need a carving knife, brother, don't you have a carving knife ranked in the top 30? Borrow it."

Xiao Hongchen's thoughts: Sister, you are such a blessing to our family. You haven't even married yet, and you're already being so ungrateful. When you get married, will you have to bring the entire Hongchen family as a dowry?

Jing Hongchen had indeed given him a list carving knife. Xiao Hongchen, such a cynical person, treasured that carving knife very much.

If he really had to give up his precious carving knife and lend it to someone else, Xiao Hongchen would definitely be unwilling to do so.

But, who made it so that the person who spoke now was his own sister, and the person who wanted to borrow money was his future brother-in-law, the most favored sixth prince of the empire.

"But...it's okay."

"Brother, you seem a little reluctant. If you really can't bear to part with it, forget it. A Ce and I won't force you."

"What bullshit are you talking about? We're all family. What's the point of borrowing? If you need it, just take it."

(You're such a stickler for words, you're the only one who knows how to talk. Once words are spoken, they're like spilled water. It's hard to take them back now, right?)
When Meng Hongchen saw Xiao Hongchen's painful expression, he suddenly felt extremely happy.

At that time, there was only one carving knife for the list, and it was given to Xiao Hongchen by his grandfather. Meng Hongchen was already very angry for not receiving a gift, but then his stinky brother held the carving knife in front of him so proudly, and now he finally got humiliated.

Xu Tiance shook his head. "Since it's Big Brother Hongchen's favorite thing, how can I steal it away from him? Big Brother Hongchen, you should keep it for yourself."

"This……"

"Since A Ce has said so, then you should continue to sleep with the carving knife in your arms every night."

"Meng, I advise you to be kind."

Meng Hongchen hid behind Xu Tiance and playfully stuck out her tongue at Xiao Hongchen, "Lululu... you're not kind. Come and hit me if you have the guts."

She has a fiancé now, so she is no longer afraid of being bullied by her stinky brother. She is the only one who can bully her stinky brother.

As they were talking, the three of them had already followed the etiquette lady to the outside of an auction room.

"Dear guests, this is Room 12. The auction is about to begin. Please put on your masks and take your seats as soon as possible."

After putting on the masks distributed by the auction house, the three of them entered auction room No. 12 together.

The light suddenly dimmed. In the auction hall, which could accommodate two hundred people, only the wall lamps on the surrounding walls emitted warm light, and two hundred dark blue velvet chairs formed a crescent moon.

At this time, 60 to 70 percent of the bidders were already in the auction hall. Xu Tiance's eyes moved back and forth among the bidders, and soon he saw a familiar figure in the first row.

Sure enough, everyone from Shrek Academy also came.

"I feel relieved when I see you. Shrek, I've been keeping an eye on you guys."
