Traveling through Huo Yuhao, my abilities are refreshed every month.

Chapter 438 Auction

Xu Jiawei shook his head and said, "If he can't be saved, then Huo Yuhao——"

He hesitated for a moment before saying, "He has made up his mind about a goal and will never change it. Without a doubt, my sister is the one he must kill."

"We have to give it a try, don't we?" Xu Jiujiu looked at her brother who seemed a little strange, then turned around and said, "Besides, if I can marry him in the future, it won't be bad either. In terms of looks and strength, is there anyone in the world who can compare to him? He's just a little bit of a playboy. As a princess of the royal family, I'm used to such things. It's not unacceptable."

"Brother, I have a match today, so I'll leave first."

Xu Jiawei looked at his sister walking away and sighed.

In the blink of an eye, two days passed and the first round of the round-robin tournament was over. Compared to the knockout rounds, the round-robin tournament was much calmer. Each team adjusted their tactics, and each game had to be more technical than before. But there was no desperate scene like in the knockout rounds.

night.

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

A day had passed since the end of the first round of the competition, and they would start the second round of the round-robin tournament tomorrow. But Wang Yan led everyone out of the Xinghuang 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 without keeping anyone in suspense: "There is an auction tonight. I will take you all to relax and buy some soul guides."

Everyone understood that the members of the reserve team were not averse to soul guides. Even Ma Xiaotao, who used to look down on soul guides, had put aside her prejudice against them because of Huo Yuhao.

Chen Zifeng frowned slightly and said, "Teacher Wang Yan, with our strength, we shouldn't need external objects like soul guides, right?"

Wang Yan knew that he could not convince these arrogant inner court students, so he turned to look at Huo Yuhao.

"Yuhao, what do you think?"

Huo Yuhao naturally agreed. Although for him, the soul guide device did not increase his strength much, it was different for other people. They were not strong, so the soul guide device played a big role. Moreover, he remembered that there was also a carving knife made of gold at this auction.

"Senior, soul guides are not external objects. They are just tools, just like the tables, chairs, bowls and chopsticks you use in your daily life. There is actually no essential difference between the two. The tools we use in daily life are to assist in life, while soul guides are to assist in combat. Their functions are to make our lives more convenient."

"The storage soul guide and soul guide lamp in the soul guide, aren't they also very easy to use, senior?"

"Besides, think about it, senior. If we had encountered the Death Messenger last time and you had a few soul guide shields, you would have been safe even if I didn't protect you, right?"

Several inner court disciples still had faith in Huo Yuhao, a man who was stronger than them and had saved them.

Gong Yangmo smiled and said, "Yuhao is right. After the last incident, I have purchased some soul guide shields. We don't have to learn how to make them, we just need to know how to use them."

As he spoke, he also showed off the soul guide protective shield he was wearing.

Ling Luochen remained silent. She was not opposed to soul guides.

Looking at Ma Xiaotao who was also silent, she asked casually: "Ma Xiaotao, didn't you always dislike soul guides? Why are you silent today?"

These days, Huo Yuhao would occasionally help her temper her martial soul, allowing her ice element martial soul to approach the ultimate ice.

Therefore, she unconsciously developed some different feelings towards Huo Yuhao. This feeling made her, who already disliked Ma Xiaotao, feel even more disliked by her, so she secretly found fault with her.

Ma Xiaotao glared at Ling Luochen, then glanced at Huo Yuhao, a faint blush appearing on her fair face.

She did look down on soul guides in the past, but ever since Huo Yuhao defeated her with just his homemade soul guide, she no longer dared to look down on that small, round soul guide.

Ma Xiaotao snorted coldly and said, "The past is the past, and the present is the present. I used to look down on it, but now I think that soul guides are a convenient and useful tool. Is that not okay?"

After saying that, he took the lead and walked into the auction hall, and everyone followed.

Walking into the auction house, a five-meter-wide staircase covered with red carpet extended downwards, and there were no staff outside to guide them.

Keep going down. After about 20 meters, they arrived at the registration place. Wang Yan had completed these tedious procedures before bringing everyone here, and handed each person a number plate. With the number plate, a girl in a red dress led them inside.

After passing through an ancient wooden door, the scene suddenly changed. What came into view was a wide corridor that was magnificent and luxuriously decorated.

The width of the passage is more than ten meters, and the ground is paved with precious ivory white jade bricks. Every ten meters on both sides, there is a pair of pillars made of the same material and carved with gorgeous patterns. The walls seem to be covered with gold foil, and the patterns carved on them are complex and gorgeous.

This is the best auction house in the Xingluo Empire.

After entering the auction hall, everyone put on masks and came to a private room. The room was very spacious and luxurious, more than enough to accommodate Shrek and his group of more than ten people.

In the box, there stood quietly a woman with a noble temperament. She was wearing a decent purple dress, with her blonde hair shawl over her shoulders. She had a dignified and beautiful appearance, with a faint smile on her pretty face. Her eyes, in particular, were as bright as stars.

Seeing everyone, she bowed slightly and said softly: "Hello, distinguished guests of Shrek. I am your guide, Jiujiu, and I will be responsible for explaining the items in this auction to you."

Everyone returned the greeting and took their seats.

Only Huo Yuhao felt differently.

For a long time, for a long time——

Could she be the princess of the Xing Luo Empire?
Although Huo Yuhao had guessed the woman's identity, he did not reveal it and waited for the auction to begin. The woman did not make any unnecessary movements, but greeted everyone with a smile, giving people a warm feeling.

"Welcome to the Starlight Auction House. Our auction is about to begin. Please take your seats." A beautiful female voice came from all directions, and the auction room fell silent. The wall lamps, which were not very bright to begin with, gradually dimmed, while the lights on the auction table gradually became brighter.

A woman in a purple dress walked onto the stage from one side of the auction hall. She smiled and said, "Good evening, distinguished guests. I am Qingya, the purple-level auctioneer from the Starlight Auction House. I will be hosting this auction today."

"Today's auction is a special auction for soul guides. All the items are soul guides below level six. At the same time, in order to make the trip worthwhile for all the distinguished guests, we have one last mysterious gift item. Dear distinguished guests, please don't miss it. Our auction starts now, please ask the staff to present the first item of today."

The auction was held as usual, and the blond tour guide did his best to explain to everyone the development history, functions, advantages and disadvantages of various soul guides, which showed his extensive knowledge.

However, Huo Yuhao had a keen sense of perception and knew that this woman was always observing him intentionally or unintentionally.

Xu Jiujiu, are you acting as a spy?

Huo Yuhao didn’t care whether Xu Jiawei watched or not, as long as she kept her promise. If she wanted to watch, then let her watch.
