Chapter 65: Conversation between Xu Tianzhen and Hongchen Brothers and Sisters
Xu Tianzhen, who was originally talking to Ji Yun casually, immediately lit up his eyes after hearing the auctioneer's introduction.
It is currently ranked ninety-ninth, originally ranked thirty-first. After the curse is completely removed, it is estimated that it will be ranked in the top ten.
The starting price is only 200,000 Gold Soul Coins!?
It's cheap!
Curse? What Xu Tianzhen feared least was curse.
What curse is the ultimate sun fire afraid of?
The holy light that is extremely strong and yang is enough to burn away all filth.
At worst, I can call my good friend Ye Guyi to come along and let them sunbathe to death the remaining evil soul master's curse inside.
If you can really rank in the top ten, let alone a mere 500,000 gold soul coins, even 50 million...
Well, 50 million is probably not worth it, but 10 or 20 million is definitely worth it.
Moreover, the top ten engraving knives are all in the hands of ninth-level soul masters, and they are all the top ninth-level soul masters, who regard them as treasures.
Even if the royal family wanted to buy it, they might not be willing to do so.
The soul-stealing mentor's most precious carving knife is no different from stealing someone's wife.
Xu Tianzhen was so excited that he almost jumped up. He picked up a top ten carving knife for free!
Wang Yan's face darkened below him. He had hoped to pick up a bargain but failed. He immediately made a bid, "I'll offer 600,000 Gold Soul Coins!"
Xu Tianzhen turned his head fiercely.
Who wants to compete with me?
"One million!" she exclaimed.
As soon as the figure of one million came out, the red-dressed auctioneer smiled happily. It turned out to be the right decision to invite the people from the Sun and Moon Empire today. She would invite them again in a few days.
Shrek Foreign Affairs College teacher Wang Yan's eyelids twitched.
Although he held a credit certificate and could theoretically spend without limit, the higher the certificate was, the more pale it became compared to real money.
Moreover, the credit certificate also depends on who holds it. He is just a teacher in the external department, not a big shot in the college, so he doesn't have the confidence to spend it.
Wang Yan looked at He Caitou and smiled bitterly, "The most I can bid is one million. She's already got it. Even if I bid another five thousand gold soul coins, with her arrogant personality, I don't think we'll get it."
"Cai Tou, I'm sorry."
He Caitou was silent.
He raised his head slightly, his eyes gloomily sweeping towards the blurry figure of the girl dancing happily in the box.
Once upon a time, he could have been so generous...
After several rounds of bidding, he could no longer guess the identities of those people.
He disdained soul guides, but took all the soul bones, being generous and magnanimous.
Who else could it be except someone from the Sun-Moon Empire?
And it is very likely that they are the brother and sister.
He Caitou lowered his eyes, a hint of gloom flashing across his face.
…
The carving knife was eventually acquired by Xu Tianzhen.
The regular team of Mingdu College and several reserve players of the Royal College walked out of the Starlight Auction House in a very happy mood.
Some went back in groups of three or four to put their things away, while others took the supplementary cards given by the college and ran to other entertainment venues with great enthusiasm to spend money.
Mingdu College has basically secured the second place to advance, so the subsequent battles are not too important, and the students have several days to relax.
Xu Tianran brought the few people who were carrying the huge treasure back to the hotel. Seeing the carving knife that Tuoxian's sister was holding happily in her arms, he said, "We must not open the seal now. Let's go back and let Master Kong see it first."
Xu Tianzhen raised her little head and said, "Don't worry, I know what I'm doing. Don't worry about it."
"By the way, tomorrow is the Royal Academy's final match to advance to the round of 16. It will determine whether they advance in first or second place. Zhengtian Academy is not going to be easy to beat. If they lose, it will be a laughing matter."
"Laughing at someone, did you hear that?"
Xiao Hongchen, who was originally standing aside, was very disdainful of Xu Tianzhen's self-conceit. He wanted to take a look but was not allowed to, and he felt jealous. When he heard this, he instantly became angry.
But he was only angry for a moment and then softened.
He turned his head away dejectedly, ignoring the wild girl Xu Tianzhen.
If His Majesty the Emperor had not been here, he would never let her act so arrogantly in front of him and would have retorted.
Xiao Hongchen's grandfather is Jing Hongchen, and Xu Tianzhen's great-grandfather is Kong Deming. They are of similar generation and played together when they were young, but one is arrogant and the other is eccentric, so they dislike each other.
Meng Hongchen quickly smiled to ease the atmosphere and pinched her brother's waist hard., let him give in a little, the innocent princess just likes to "bully others" a little, she doesn't have any bad intentions.
Meng Hongchen then smiled softly, covering her lips like a lady, and said, "Don't worry, Princess. I will definitely not bring shame to His Majesty and the empire."
"Zhengtian Academy was in the quarterfinals last year, but we've always been runner-up."
Xu Tianzhen wasn't just silly. She stretched out a slender finger and shook it, "No, no, no, this time is different. Zhengtian Academy is much stronger than in previous years."
"As far as I know, there's not only a Level 58 Battle Soul King who's as good as any Soul King from Shrek Academy, but also a martial soul known as the Golden Leaf, which is rumored to be very close to Ultimate Gold. He competed on behalf of the main selection last term. If it weren't for the fact that Zhengtian Academy's foundation is a bit weak, he would have been able to reach the Soul Emperor level this term, becoming the second Soul Emperor from the Sky Soul Empire to participate in this term, besides the Sky Soul Royal Academy. Despite this, he's no worse than an ordinary Martial Soul Emperor."
"There is another external aid. His martial soul is a powerful Soul King of the Two-Winged Angel. He and the Bone Cloth have the same origin. His martial soul is slightly inferior. He is only level 53, but he is comparable to the peak Soul King."
"The team still has another Soul King, and the remaining four are all high-level Soul Masters. If the Royal Academy can't quickly resolve this, be careful not to end up like Shrek and my Mingdu Academy. We'll become a stepping stone for them to become famous."
After hearing this, Meng Hongchen's expression became a little serious.
Today, the case of Mingdu College and Shrek is right before our eyes.
The mistake in the order of play and the over-underestimation of the opponent led to Mingdu Academy winning three games. If the Soul Emperor had not been adjusted in time at the end, it would have been a major upset.
The Royal Academy should take this as a warning and not be too arrogant. If they are caught off guard by their opponents, even if they win in the end, it will not be a glorious victory.
Meng Hongchen sincerely thanked Her Royal Highness the Princess beside her.
Some information could definitely not be obtained by Mingdu Academy alone. Perhaps His Majesty the Emperor told them through the eldest princess.
Xu Tianzhen had no ill feelings towards Meng Hongchen, the good girl. She tossed her long ponytail indifferently and strode back to her room.
Xiao Hongchen was so angry that he quickly left and went to Ma Rulong to discuss tactics.
So only Meng Hongchen and Emperor Xu Tianran were left there.
She was the only one left, and if she wanted to leave at this time, her actions seemed a little too obvious, as if she was trying to avoid the emperor, which was a bit disrespectful.
Meng Hongchen was in a dilemma. She raised her delicate and round eyes and looked at His Majesty the Emperor.
The second time I was alone...
Xu Tianran was thinking about the important matters of the next day. Tomorrow, the old patriarch of the angel clan would arrive in Xingluo City.
For a moment, he didn't notice the confusion and anxiety of the girl with smooth burgundy hair next to him. He didn't know whether to leave or speak.
A full quarter of an hour passed before Xu Tianran had a clue. When he came to his senses, he suddenly realized that Meng Hongchen was lowering her head and twisting her slender fingers.
He wanted to leave, but didn't dare to interrupt the emperor's thoughts.
His face was full of confusion.
Xu Tianran thought the pretty girl in front of him was worried about tomorrow's game, so he comforted her casually:
"Just pay attention to the order of battle. Don't follow Shrek's example and use Soul Sect as the vanguard, and you won't make too many mistakes."
"There's something wrong with their regular team. They're understaffed, and they don't want the stronger teams to see their weakness, so they're sending their reserve team out repeatedly to cover up this weakness and avoid being targeted. Talk to Ma Rulong and tell him to be the first to send a powerful Soul King like Ji Juechen on stage tomorrow. That way, they can win easily and beautifully."
Ji Juechen is already a regular sword-carrying guard, but he is still in the academy to train other soul instructors and soul masters. Xu Tianran knows the correct way to use this sword fanatic better than anyone else.
Meng Hongchen is very smart. He understood the problem immediately and suddenly saw the light.
The little face suddenly realized, and the index finger touched the lips.
She knew the strength of Ji Juechen, who devoted himself to kendo. In fact, all the regulars and reserve players had been beaten by him, and he had become a nightmare for almost all the players participating in the competition.
Although he only has the cultivation base of level 55, his real combat power is so great that even the captain Ma Rulong is afraid of him. His attacks are too fast and too accurate, and he has also comprehended his own domain. For soul masters with weak defense, encountering him is like being haunted by a nightmare.
Even Miga and Xiao Xiafeng, two of the academy's top-ranked fifth-level soul masters, were beaten by him and cried for their parents.
If he or Ye Guyi were sent on stage tomorrow, even if they encountered the most unfavorable individual competition, they would be able to quickly break the deadlock...
Meng Hongchen's bright ice-blue eyes sparkled.
She bowed deeply to Xu Tianran and said, "Thank you, Your Majesty, for your advice. I will take my leave now."
She ran away happily, which made Xu Tianran burst out laughing.
