Chapter 36: Round Robin
Three hours later, Sora Jiran walked out of the auction hall smiling, playing with a simple, swarthy carving knife with a faint ornament engraved on it, exuding a faint and clumsy atmosphere.
This knife, it's really not a vegetable, it's a good thing, I just wanted to sell something to subsidize the family, but I didn't expect there to be unexpected surprises.
Sora Jiran felt that "fate" had finally favored her. This auction hall is called "Starlight Auction Hall", which is the largest auction house in the Star Luo Empire, and it is said that it has a royal background, and ordinary people cannot enter the auction at all.
Did she get in because she was a disciple of Shrek's inner court, or was it because this auction was only an intermediate-level "purple-level" auction. If it were a higher-level "black-level" and "red-level" auction, Kong Jiran's identity would not be good.
After handing over the items to be sold to the auction house, Sora Himeran also stayed behind to participate in the auction. Although there are a lot of good things in the "Purple Level" auction, they are still too bad for her.
At the auction, Kong Jiran bought a total of two treasures, one was a fourth-level soul guide "milk bottle" used to restore soul power, and she felt that its shape and name were more pleasing, so she spent 20,000 gold soul coins to buy it back.
The second is the Soul Devouring Knife in his hand. This carving knife that belongs to the soul master used to carve the soul guide, according to the auctioneer, the "Soul Devouring Murder Knife" even has traces on the top 100 carving knife rankings in the Douluo Continent.
Although he didn't know the twists and turns of these soul masters, Sora Jiran discovered that the entire body of the Soul Devourer Knife was made of a metal known as "Soul Gold". This kind of metal was not named by humans in the Douluo Continent, but it was mentioned in Electrolux's memory.
These details are not valued by Kong Ji Ran, she only knows that the "Soul Devouring Fierce Knife" contains an extremely large amount of life attribute energy, and the effect of absorbing it will not be worse than that of Devouring Ice Emperor.
She originally thought that this time she would have to make a bloody investment, or be a gentleman on the beam once, but she didn't expect that there would be a turn for the better, there was an extremely terrible curse on this knife for the people on the Douluo Continent, and its first thirty or so masters all died tragically, and none of them were spared.
This also caused no one to be interested in the "Soul Eater Knife" except for her. So it only took the reserve price of 100,000 gold soul coins to buy such a treasure, and Kong Jiran is now smiling in his heart.
As for the curse, heh, just kidding, what kind of curse can compare to the curse of those resentful ghosts and ghosts accumulated in the countless eras of the Lethe River.
Kong Jiran secretly sighed, it's not easy, she used to suffer losses, for example, if she wanted to go to the Arctic Ice Plain to fight the tooth sacrifice, she was almost left in the extreme north by the projection of "justice" and a few of them, but fortunately, she has a strong ability to save her life, and she is only facing a wisp of unconscious rule manifestation, which is very different from the strength of the ontology, otherwise she would have hated the extreme north a long time ago.
"Sora Jiran."
The inner exclamation was interrupted by a voice, and I saw a pair of men and women appear in front of me, and it was the man who spoke out, a very delicate young man, fourteen or fifteen years old, with a pair of big blue eyes that were very bright, and a slender and straight figure. The girl next to him was six or seven points similar to him, and these two were rare twins.
The girl is also extremely beautiful, but Ku Jiran's favorite thing is her long hair. The girl's long hair was a rare burgundy color, like a mellow grape wine, shimmering with a faint sheen.
Name: Xiao Hongchen
LV:28
Race: Terran
Talent: Three-legged Golden Toad
Special status: A student of the Sun and Moon Royal Soul Master Academy, and the grandson of the master of the Mingde Hall
Name: Meng Hongchen
LV:27
Race: Terran
Talent: Zhu Qing Bing Toad
Special status: A student of the Sun and Moon Royal Soul Master Academy, and the granddaughter of the master of Mingde Hall
"Oh, the people of the Sun and Moon Royal Soul Master Academy." Sora Jiran said to the two.
"Kong Jiran, remember my name, my name is Xiao Hongchen, I will definitely defeat you and Huo Yuhao."
Xiao Hongchen stared at Kong Jiran's crimson eyes, he had felt that Kong Jiran's face was beautiful from a distance before, but at this time, when he looked closely, he felt dizzy.
I have to say that the speed of the investigation of the Sun Moon Royal Soul Master Academy is very fast, and in less than half a day, he has already found out the names and ages of all the participating team members of Shrek, and Xiao Hongchen also knows that Kong Jiran and Huo Yuhao are not only his opponents in this competition, but also strong opponents in the next competition, so he spoke out to provoke Kong Jiran.
"Eh, you're Meng Hongchen."
To Xiao Hongchen's surprise, Kong Jiran didn't pay attention to him, but looked very interested in his sister Meng Hongchen. I saw Kong Jiran walking up to Meng Hongchen and smiling.
"Your hair is so beautiful, in fact, I also like red hair, but unfortunately mine is white." Speaking of this, Kong Jiran raised his hand and gently stroked his long white hair, which was as clear as jade.
"Yes...... Is it. Thank you. Meng Hongchen snorted, it was the first time she saw someone come up and praised the other party for her good looks, which was too disrespectful to the positions of both sides......
Xiao Hongchen was completely stunned, Kong Jiran was already peerless, and this flirtation seemed to tug at his heartstrings. At this time, there was no world in his eyes, only the peerless beauty in front of him who could hit the fawn in the center room with a smile and a smile.
Seduction: Miss me?
Waving goodbye to the Hongchen brothers and sisters, Kong Jiran walked towards the Star Emperor Hotel, until she walked away, Meng Hongchen found that Xiao Hongchen was still staring at the direction that Kong Jiran left, and the gods were all hooked away, and he stomped his feet and said dissatisfiedly: "Xiao Hongchen!" Can you have a little bit of interest, you still can't forget that everyone is gone. ”
"Ahem", Xiao Hongchen coughed lightly, relieved the embarrassment, and said stiffly: "I'm observing Kong Jiran, she is really not simple." Well, it's not simple. ”
"Bah, I believe you are a ghost, and you forget your sister when you see it." Meng Hongchen grimaced at Hongchen and left quickly.
"This girl ......" Xiao Hongchen shook her head, and finally reluctantly glanced at Kong Jiran's direction and chased after her, "Meng Hongchen, slow down, wait for me!" ”
……
The knockout rounds were all over on the morning of the fourth day, and in the afternoon, Wang Yan represented Shrek Academy for the group draw, Ma Xiaotao and the three were still healing, and the reserve team and Kong Jiran were waiting for Wang Yan to come back in the conference room of the hotel.
Sora Jiran is bored these days because he can't go out to play, there's no way, he has to have a healing look. Hurt and go out and hang around, that's too. However, the "Soul Eater Knife" was also completely absorbed by Sora Jiran, and she finally went from LV53 →LV54.
With a "squeak", the door of the conference room was opened by Wang Yan who came back, and the face of the leading teacher was a little solemn at this time. The reserve team is also full of people, and it immediately knows that the first opponent of tomorrow's round-robin may not be easy.
Bei Bei, as the captain of the reserve team, was the first to speak: "Teacher Wang, which team is our opponent tomorrow?" ”
Wang Yan's brows furrowed, and he said in a deep voice: "Our opponent is the Thousand Spirits Advanced Soul Master Academy of the Douling Empire. ”
"Hiss~"
Except for Kong Jiran, everyone gasped, and Huo Yuhao even lost his voice: "Is it the Soul Master Academy that can be ranked in the top three in the Douling Empire?" ”
Wang Yan nodded, "The strength of this academy is very strong, all the members of the main selection team are above the Soul Sect, and there is even a Soul King of the Assault Department in charge. ”
Everyone in the reserve team was silent, six soul sects and one soul king, which was far beyond their ability. Wang Yan sighed when he saw this, "Let's give up this game strategically, the round-robin is not a knockout round, and it will not be out at one time, and when Kong Jiran comes back, we still have a chance to become the top two teams in the points." ”
"No way!" Everyone blurted out, of course, except for someone watching the play, we don't know who it is.
Bei Bei first said the reason, "We came to participate in the competition to represent the glory of Shrek Academy. Even though we're only reserves, we can't lose, we can't lose, we can't lose a game. ”
Everyone nodded, convinced of Beibei's words.
"And," Bei Bei continued, "Xu Sanshi and I actually hide part of our strength......"
"Huh?"
The other five members of the reserve team kept looking at Bei Bei and Xu Sanshi, who I didn't know anything about.
Xu Sanshi couldn't stand it from the eyes of this group of people, "Beibei, it's too early, our ability should be used in the next competition." If it is shown now, although we will change in five years, the foundation will definitely remain the same, the present and the future, which is more important, I hope you can think about it, especially since we are not yet in a desperate situation. ”
What the hell is this? Everyone looked at the dumb brothers in confusion.
Bei Bei looked at Xu Sanshi calmly and said seriously: "You are right, but have you ever thought about it." The academy teaches us to learn, and in the academy, we all enjoy at least the treatment of core disciples, and now it is time for us to maintain the dignity of the academy.
Even with the last bit of strength, I will never allow myself to fail on stage. And the current form is already very grim, Ji Ran can indeed make a comeback in the next game, but no matter how strong she is, she is just one person. Ji Ran is not a god, she will also be injured and tired, we can't let go of any victory. ”
"Okay, you have to do it, I'll accompany you!" Xu Sanshi finally agreed to Beibei.
"Bang bang."
Wang Yan applauded, "Well said, worthy of being our Shrek's disciple." "He's really happy with Bebe as a reserve captain right now.
Not only is he talented and characterful, but he also has a good sense of the overall situation, and he is a natural handsome.
"Actually, I just wanted to test what kind of choices you will make in the face of adversity."
As soon as Wang Yan's words fell, he was dissatisfied by everyone in the reserves.
"Teacher Wang, you are too much!"
"Are we so weak!"
……
Hearing their words, Wang Yan smiled, "You have passed my test, which is worthy of the pride of the academy, and I am proud of your tenacity."
Although the Thousand Spirits Academy is powerful, their lineup configuration is very special, and there are some points that can be used, maybe Bei Bei and Sanshi don't have to expose their hidden strength, I'll explain it to you carefully......"
