Douluo Continent V: Starting with the Azure Dragon Martial Soul, I easily defeat Tang San and snatch

"The lifespan of a spirit ring is not fixed. If you are strong enough, you can use other methods to strengthen your spirit ring."

If possible, the master certainly wouldn't want to diminish Tang San's potential for growth.

But if Tang San loses to Du Cheng in the Elite Soul Master Competition, wouldn't his hard-earned reputation be ruined?

He can easily find another apprentice if he loses one.

But if he loses his reputation, then Yu Xiaogang will have no place to stand in the Douluo Continent.

After careful consideration, the master decided to take a risky approach, prioritizing preserving his reputation as a master.

His gaze fell on Tang San, and the Grandmaster continued:

"Mistress, you don't want to keep losing to Du Cheng, do you?"

"I understand!"

As it turns out, the master had a fairly good understanding of Tang San's personality.

Before he could finish speaking, Tang San slammed his hand on the table with a loud 'bang':

"As long as I can defeat Du Cheng, I'm willing to cooperate with your plan, teacher!"

Chapter 168 Attending the Auction

"but……"

Tang San glanced at the master, a determined look flashing in his eyes:

"I'm afraid we'll need the help of the teachers and the dean next."

Even with Tang San's strength, it would still be somewhat difficult for him to fight against a ten-thousand-year-old soul beast.

Therefore, he had no choice but to place the heavy responsibility of obtaining the spirit rings on Flander and the others.

"no problem."

Upon hearing Tang San's words, Grandmaster smiled slightly.

"For the next period of time, Flander and the others will take you to the Soul Beast Forest."

"In short, we must help you improve your strength to the greatest extent possible before the Elite Soul Master Competition."

"Thank you teacher!"

Upon hearing the master's words, Tang San smiled slightly.

Although it would require sacrificing some potential, he felt it would be entirely worthwhile if he could defeat Du Cheng.

"Master, does Tang San have some means to defeat Du Cheng?"

Listening to the conversation between Grandmaster and Tang San, Dai Mubai and the others couldn't help but show expressions of doubt:

In their view, Du Cheng's current strength makes him an invincible force.

"Yes."

The master nodded, a faint smile appearing on his face:

"Xiao San is exceptionally talented. If he shows even a little bit of skill, defeating Du Cheng will be quite easy."

"As for the mistress's talent, you don't need to ask about it for now."

The master glanced at Dai Mubai, giving him no chance to speak.

"You'll know when the time comes to show it."

"Yes."

Although somewhat unwilling, Dai Mubai obediently nodded after hearing the master's words:

"In that case, I wish the mistress's abilities will improve by leaps and bounds."

"Entering the Soul Beast Forest is not urgent for now."

Flander wasn't too opposed to the master's decision made without his permission:

As long as he can perform well in the Soul Master Competition, his Shrek Academy can also take the opportunity to become famous.

By then, even just collecting tuition fees would have made him a fortune, which is why Flanders was quite tolerant of this matter.

Not only that, he even planned to use his own money to help Tang San and the others improve their strength in other areas:

"An auction will be held in Tiandou City today, where items that can help improve one's strength may be found."

After a pause, Flander gritted his teeth and continued:

"You'll all come with me later. If we come across anything useful, I'll buy it for you."

"Thank you, Dean!"

As soon as Flander uttered his words, the others, except for Dai Mubai, couldn't help but show expressions of excitement:

Items that make it to an auction must be top-quality; they're not something they could afford on ordinary days.

"No need to be polite. As long as it helps you improve your strength, it's all worth it."

Flander glanced at the group, his expression turning slightly ferocious:

"Judging by the time, the auction is about to start. If there's nothing else, we should set off now."

"By the way, you don't need to go to Oscar."

"Dean?"

Upon hearing Flander's words, Oscar's smile gradually froze:

From childhood to adulthood, he has basically always been by Flander's side.

Given Flanders' frugality, Oscar had virtually no entertainment beyond the most basic necessities like food and clothing.

That's why Oscar is actually the one most looking forward to this auction.

"Participating in the auction is mainly to improve combat effectiveness, it won't be of much use to you."

Flander glanced at Oscar and continued:

"Furthermore, this is not Shrek Academy after all. Everyone is going to the auction, so someone has to stay behind to guard it."

"That's right. Anyway, support Soul Masters don't need to increase their combat power, so Xiao Ao, you should just stay at home."

No sooner had Flander uttered his words than Ma Hongjun quickly interjected:

"At worst, I'll bring you some good food when I come back."

As he finished speaking, a hint of smugness flashed in Ma Hongjun's eyes:

Given Flanders' notoriously stingy nature, it's practically a once-in-a-millennium event that they would spend money on them.

By edging out Oscar, he can spend more money at the auction!

"I see."

A hint of disappointment flashed across Oscar's face, but he ultimately nodded obediently.

He knew from a very young age that support-type Soul Masters didn't need to be very strong.

Given the same resources, Flander always favors Ma Hongjun, and it seems this time will be no different.

"Don't worry, everyone, I will definitely take good care of the family."

"Ah."

Nodding, Flander didn't notice Oscar's change in mood:

He can save money by bringing one less person, which is something to celebrate.

"Don't worry, Xiao Ao, I'll definitely take you next time."

"Ah."

After offering a few words of reassurance to Oscar, Flander hurriedly led Tang San and the others towards the auction house.

Now that we've decided to help everyone improve their strength, we can't afford to waste too much time...

With Dugu Yan leading the way, Du Cheng and his group didn't encounter any embarrassing situations like getting lost in Tiandou City.

After leaving Blue Tyrant Academy, they bought a few boxed lunches from a roadside vendor and had a simple meal before calmly continuing their journey.

"The auction house is just ahead."

After walking for a few minutes, Dugu Yan pointed to a semi-circular building that was nearly a hundred meters upside down on the ground not far away:

"The auction hasn't started yet, we've arrived just in time."

"Tsk tsk tsk~"

As he approached, Du Cheng smacked his lips:

In Tiandou City, where land is incredibly valuable, the fact that such a luxurious auction house could be built here suggests that the owner behind it must have an extraordinary background.

The entrance to the auction house is also semi-circular, blending well with the overall architecture.

Four tall, beautiful girls stood at the entrance.

Upon seeing Du Cheng and his companions, the four girls bowed in unison. Through their wide necklines, the sight of their snow-white breasts made Du Cheng dizzy.
