No one doubted the truthfulness of Ning Wuque's words because of what the other party had done so far, and more importantly, because Ning Tian Wufeng had no objection to it. As people around him, they were the ones who knew Ning Wuque's strength best!
"I'm sorry, Brother Wuque, I...hid something from you..."
"You don't need to apologize, Yuhao. Everyone should have their own secrets. If you are so sure, then I feel that winning this competition should be easy."
Even more exaggerated!
Wang Yan held his face in his hands, and he and Xu Sanshi felt as if their souls had flown away. Suddenly, they had two more Soul Kings? Although it was likely that these states could only be reached through extreme bursts, it was completely sufficient!
"I felt like Beibei and I had hidden deep enough, but I didn't expect that Yuhao and Wuque were the two who hid the deepest. That's quite interesting."
There are still masters!
Just as Ning Wuque and Huo Yuhao were smiling at each other, Xu Sanshi, who had calmed down, flicked his hair, and gave everyone another heavy blow like a thunderclap out of the blue.
Beibei, who was sitting next to him, sighed helplessly and nodded:
"Although the conditions are very harsh, Sanshi and I can indeed burst out the power of Soul Kings in a short period of time. In fact, it seems that our chances of winning are actually quite good now."
More than just big!
This means they can send at least one or two Soul Kings to compete in every game. Except for the one-on-one round-robin format, the other two formats will not be able to stop them at all.
Including Xixi, there are a total of five Soul Kings. This is already the configuration of a first-class academy. Even if they clash with Xingluo Royal Academy, they still have a chance.
Now the only thing they need to worry about is the Soul Emperor who may appear from the Sun Moon Royal Soul Instructor Academy. However, by that time, the remaining three candidates on their side will have already been in place, and they will not be afraid of the two Soul Emperors at all!
In an instant, the few people who revealed their past secrets turned the originally tense situation into a better one.
The only bad ones may be Ling Luochen and Xixi. They are old students, several years older than their juniors. Why do they suddenly feel like they have been abandoned by the times?
The most frustrated one was Wu Feng. It turned out that she was the weakest one here!
Chapter 97 I like you very much
Time passed quickly, and in the blink of an eye, the first day of competition was over. Shrek's students left the conference room in a relatively relaxed atmosphere and walked towards the hotel.
When Ning Wuque, Huo Yuhao, Bei Bei, and Xu Sanshi revealed their past, the pressure on them was instantly relieved a lot.
Originally, Beibei and Xu Sanshi thought that they were the only ones who could carry the banner of victory, and were ready to fight for their lives, but when they looked back...
Alas, there are two more people who are willing to fight to the death?
That's really good!
"Hello, let me introduce myself. My name is Xiao Hongchen."
As soon as the group left the meeting room, they saw Xiao Hongchen, who had been waiting outside the door and leaning against the wall, acting cool. He looked up slightly. His legs were a little numb after posing for almost an hour, but he still persisted in order to make himself look cooler.
Looking at Ning Wuque, he said softly:
"Can we talk alone? You're my destined rival."
"From the Sun Moon Royal Soul Instructor Academy?"
"Yes, I am."
"Teacher Wang Yan, you guys go first. I'll stay."
He nodded. Although he didn't know why Xiao Hongchen wanted to talk to him alone, he did not refuse. Instead, he planned to see what the other party was up to.
In this regard, Wang Yan also respected Ning Wuque's decision and left with the others first. Not long after, only Ning Wuque and Xiao Hongchen were left here.
"I like you very much."
"puff---"
As soon as he opened his mouth, Ning Wuque couldn't hold it back and burst out laughing. He looked at Xiao Hongchen in amazement, then calmly took two steps back, staring at him with extremely vigilant eyes, as if he would take action if Xiao Hongchen had any chance of taking any further steps.
Something is wrong, very wrong. He doesn't remember that Xiao Hongchen was a gay in the original work. Even if he was, shouldn't his target be someone as sweet and soft as Wang Dong and Huo Yuhao?
Looking for him? Could it be that...
Suddenly, Ning Wuque looked at Xiao Hongchen with an even more strange look in his eyes. Could this guy be the legendary cunning Zero?
"Tsk, don't get me wrong, I just like you as a person."
This is even more wrong! Ning Wuque's forehead had already begun to sweat, but fortunately, Xiao Hongchen's next words on the opposite side calmed him down:
"I'm here to ask you for advice. I, Xiao Hongchen, am not an arrogant guy. You are very stylish, and I want to ask you how to make me stylish too. Otherwise, I always feel that I will be outshined by you."
"...Is it just because of something like this? You, man, there's nothing I can do. This type of kata is etched into my genes and instincts. It can't be taught. My advice is to figure it out on your own."
Shaking his head, Ning Wuque had already lost interest in Xiao Hongchen and stood up to leave. At the end, as he passed by him, he politely said:
"I'm leaving now. See you in the finals."
"Haha, that's pretty good... As expected of a man I consider a rival, even his walk is so stylish, hahahaha."
Looking at Ning Wuque's departing back, Xiao Hongchen became even happier. Although he didn't get the answer he wanted, it was enough.
Not long after, he also left this place.
…………
The next match wasn't much to say. "Bitch" Xu Sanshi single-handedly eliminated Yunluo Academy. Although his fighting style was indeed...
cheap!
Even Ning Wuque was a little bit overwhelmed. How could someone be so mean as Xu Sanshi? However, his true strength did shock many people later.
In particular, the special steps he used when dealing with the captain of Tianluo Academy attracted Ning Wuque's attention, but he soon lost interest in it.
Once the explosive ring is activated, it is hard to say whether he can accurately control his movement trajectory. This kind of delicate step is not suitable for him at all. What he needs most is a step technique like the "explosive step" that can use force at one time, so that his strength can be superimposed on speed to exert maximum power.
And just like that, the second day of the round-robin competition ended.
That night, Wang Yan suggested taking everyone to an auction to be held that evening, intending to provide everyone with some auxiliary soul guides.
Ning Wuque was extremely looking forward to this. If he remembered correctly, the Soul-Devouring Carving Knife, or the Gold of Life, would definitely be auctioned in this auction!
Ning Wuque had wanted this good thing for a long time.
But when he was a child, he couldn't find any excuse to take it. After all, this thing had been sold several times and it was not certain which auction house it would appear in every year. And how could Ning Wuque explain that he needed this thing?
Of course, if Ning Wuque really wanted it, he had a way to do it, but at that time he was completely unable to remove the resentment that had accumulated on the carving knife over the years. Even if he got it, it would be useless and a waste of his time and energy.
But for the sake of future development, there was a clear need for this thing in his plan, and he had already imagined a way to remove the curse without relying on Electrolux.
That is - using his powerful Qi and blood to forcibly wash away the resentment above! However, this step requires at least waiting for the three gates of blood, flesh and bones to be fully opened before attempting the feasibility of the experiment, and it comes with great risks.
If he doesn't get the favor of Electrolux later, he can also try to use this great opportunity. Even if he grinds it into powder after purification and drinks it year after year, it would be great!
But now that Electrolux had chosen him, this plan could basically be abandoned. Wouldn't it be better to just let Electrolux do him a favor? Ning Wuque would not miss out on any hardship he deserved.
He would save as much suffering as possible. Who would torture themselves so much?
"I just don't want to use the soul guide. You guys can go, I won't go."
It really does.
Wang Dong clearly expressed his unwillingness to touch the soul guide at all, so he left the main group on his own and returned to the lounge with Huo Yuhao.
In this regard, everyone else respected and understood his choice. Huo Yuhao first comforted him for a while, and then the group set off for the auction house.
“I don’t think there’s anything good here…”
The auction in the evening went very smoothly. Wang Yan used the funds provided by the college to buy a lot of auxiliary soul guides for everyone.
There were only three people from the Nine Treasures Glazed Tile Sect. Ning Tian was playing with her fingers boredly. There was almost no soul guide device in this auction that she could use. Even if there was, it was already in her storage soul guide device.
As for Wu Feng, it would be better to let her eat her fill so that she can exert 120% of her combat power than to expect this irritable little red dragon to remember to use the soul guide during the battle.
Ning Wuque didn't have much to buy. His only need for soul guides was a training device, and...
"Excuse me, everyone! Now, let's take a look at our finale, the mysterious item."
It’s finally here, the Soul-Devouring Knife!
Chapter 98 Soul-devouring Carving Knife!
[Gold of Life?! Wuque, take this thing, no matter the cost! I will help you solve the above troubles. This thing will greatly benefit your cultivation!]
When Ning Wuque realized what the auction host had pushed up, Alex's words immediately rang in his mind, his tone filled with surprise and eagerness.
It seemed that the things pushed up were important to him, and even more important to Ning Wuque!
"Wuque, what's wrong with you?"
Feeling her boyfriend's sudden change of mood, Ning Tian turned slightly in her chair and asked him.
At this moment, Ning Wuque stared intently at the item pushed up by the auctioneer, and the eagerness and desire in his eyes were almost uncontrollable. He did not have very good skills in cultivating his qi, and the moment he saw the treasure, he still could not control his emotions and revealed them.
"Ning Tian, take it! At any cost!"
"it is good!"
Nodding, Ning Tian did not ask Ning Wuque what the thing was for, nor did she ask what it was. Anyway, she would buy it for him as long as Ning Wuque needed it.
Slowly, Ning Tian took out the gold card with a savings account of 100 million yuan from the storage soul guide. The red border symbolized power, and the colored glaze pattern symbolized nobility.
Ding~
She snapped her fingers, and the soft humming sound made Ning Wuque feel at ease. The charm of money was materialized at this moment.
"Hey, this, this is the highest limit card issued by the Glazed Bank? Oh my god, she's truly worthy of being the little princess of the Nine Treasures Glazed Sect."
Xu Sanshi, who was knowledgeable, recognized the details of this card at the first time. The only function of this card was to store unlimited denominations.
And because it is also a seventh-level soul guide, it also has the function of transferring money thousands of miles. As long as the cardholder has enough money deposited in the bank, this card can be used to swipe out mountains of gold soul coins no matter where he is.
Others were also attracted by Ning Tian's move, especially Jiang Nannan, who understood the concept after hearing Xu Sanshi's explanation.
Liuli Bank, formerly one of the largest banks in the Douluo Three Kingdoms, stored more than 20% of the liquid wealth of the entire Douluo Continent, which was almost comparable to the wealth of an entire country.
Envy the rich.
Of course, although they were surprised, others were more puzzled as to why Ning Wuque was so excited before the item was unveiled. Then they looked curiously at the auctioneer who was unveiling the item in front of him.
"I won't keep you in suspense any longer. Everyone, please take a look. This is what all soul masters dream of. Its actual value is no less than that of soul bones. It ranks within the top 100 of the Douluo Continent's carving knife rankings—"
The host's words stirred the emotions in the auction hall, especially when she uttered the last few words. All the soul masters present had already guessed the approximate items and stared enthusiastically at the items displayed on the cushions:
"Listing knife!"
"Of course, please don't get too excited. There are some caveats regarding this ranking knife that need to be announced in advance. I'm sure everyone is aware that such a treasure is unlikely to appear at this auction level, right?"
Before the audience could even begin to roar, the auctioneer's words were like a bucket of cold water poured over their heads, calming them down:
"This carving knife is the ninety-ninth-ranked Soul-Devouring Carving Knife. Its maker..."
After listening to the auctioneer's story about the ranking engraving knife, the entire auction was silent as if it had fallen silent.
What followed was all kinds of sarcasm and ridicule, almost all of which were based on the core idea that "whoever buys it is an idiot."
After all, this knife can kill people just by holding it in your hand. Every owner of it has met a tragic end without exception. Unless you are a confident and talented soul guide, who would dare to joke with his own life?
"Soul Devouring Carving Knife, starting price 100,000 Gold Soul Coins, each increment must be no less than 5,000. Guests may begin bidding now."
"I'll give you one hundred thousand gold soul coins."
As soon as the auctioneer finished speaking, Ning Tian took action, and her voice spread through the silent crowd.
On the stage, the auctioneer had given up hope long after she announced the details of the goods. She looked up in surprise in the direction of the voice, where a boy was sitting next to a girl, holding up a sign.
"Ah, okay! Guest number 335, bids 100,000 gold soul coins. Anyone else want to bid?"
As the auctioneer spoke, many guests present turned around to see who had bought the Soul-Eating Knife. However, after seeing the identity of the bidder, they immediately turned their heads away and stopped talking.
There was no other reason, it was just that Ning Tian was not wearing the Shrek Academy uniform at the moment, but was wearing a casual uniform with a colorful glazed logo on his chest.
Anyone present with a bit of status knew what kind of symbol it was. It symbolized the Seven Treasures Glazed Tile Sect's true disciples, direct descendants, and even... the young sect leader!
Combined with the few people around the girl wearing Shrek school uniforms, it is not difficult to guess her identity. She is definitely the little princess with innate full soul power of the current Nine Treasures Glazed Tile Sect.
Who dares to mock? Who dares to speak out?
Be careful her parents are setting you up!
"Wuque, let's go get the things together."
Sitting on the chair, Ning Tian held the gold card between his index and middle fingers and turned back to give Ning Wuque a look.
The latter understood immediately and stood up. He stretched out his hand for Ning Tian to hold on his hand and pulled him up slightly. Then Wu Feng stood up as well.
