Chapter 24: Big Harvest, Start of the Lottery
[Due to feedback from some readers, the name of the Invincible Auction House was considered too plain, so it has been renamed: Star Auction House]
Long Xiaoyao and Ye Xishui looked at Mu En's current state, reminiscing about the time many years ago when the three of them were full of youthful vigor.
Back then, they ventured across the continent together, fighting side by side, facing countless challenges and difficulties.
But now, time had passed, and they found themselves in this situation.
For the extreme fire weapon spirit, former allies had now become opponents.
...
Huo Yuhao and Bei Bei, who were sent away by Mu En, were also very anxious. Their hearts were filled with worry and anxiety.
They understood the situation Mu Lao and Xuan Lao were facing, but with their current strength, they couldn't be of much help.
Their eyes reflected helplessness and guilt.
Suddenly, several strong auras appeared not far away.
The auras surged like a tide, one wave after another, causing a powerful sense of pressure.
"Great, the strong ones from the academy are here!"
Huo Yuhao sensed some familiar auras and immediately showed an expression of joy.
Sure enough, a group of people appeared before Huo Yuhao and Bei Bei.
It was the dean of the Soul Master Department, Yan Shaozhe, the dean of the Soul Engineer Department, Xian Liner, and several elders from the Sea God Pavilion, such as Elder Song and Elder Zhuang.
They were tall and imposing, each exuding a powerful aura.
"Yuhao, what are you doing here? Where are Teacher and Elder Xuan?" Yan Shaozhe asked immediately after hearing Huo Yuhao's voice. His eyes showed concern and worry, as though looking for something.
"Quick, go help Mu Lao and Xuan Lao. They are facing Ye Xishui and Long Xiaoyao!" Huo Yuhao quickly recounted what had happened.
When Yan Shaozhe and the others heard this, their brows furrowed, and their expressions revealed tension and vigilance.
They knew that Long Xiaoyao and Ye Xishui were Limit Douluo-level experts, equal in fame to Mu Lao.
With Mu Lao's current physical condition and Xuan Lao's 98th-level strength, they were clearly no match for the two of them.
Their hearts filled with worry as they wondered if Mu Lao and Xuan Lao could withstand their attacks.
Yan Shaozhe immediately led Huo Yuhao in the direction he indicated.
Elder Song and the others also acted without hesitation, quickly releasing their soul skills and speeding toward Mu En. Their figures were as swift as lightning, disappearing from sight.
...
As Yan Shaozhe and Elder Song approached, Mu En, Ye Xishui, and the others naturally sensed these powerful auras.
"It seems that Shrek Academy has been planning for this," Long Xiaoyao said with a hint of indifference. His lips curled into a dismissive smile.
If Ye Xishui and he decided to get serious, not even several Title Douluo experts could stand against them.
At that moment, Ye Xishui's gaze fell on Mu En, and a complex expression flashed in his eyes.
Countless emotions filled Ye Xishui, even as a Limit Douluo, not knowing what to say.
"Mu En, I look forward to our next meeting," Ye Xishui sighed softly, slowly speaking to Mu En. The next moment, his figure disappeared from the spot.
Seeing Ye Xishui leave, Long Xiaoyao understood what was happening and, without saying anything more, followed him away.
"Mm?"
Xuan Lao was still confused. He didn't understand why the two suddenly left. Even if Yan Shaozhe and the others had arrived, it shouldn't have been enough to drive off two Limit Douluo experts.
His eyes were filled with doubt and confusion, as though he was contemplating something.
Mu En showed a look of mixed feelings, his eyes revealing a complex emotion, with a touch of relief and a bit of regret.
He knew that Long Xiaoyao and Ye Xishui had left out of respect for their past relationship.
Perhaps, the next time they met, it would be a matter of life and death, and they would face even more brutal challenges.
"Teacher, Elder Xuan, are you alright?"
As Ye Xishui and the others left, Yan Shaozhe arrived beside Mu Lao with a worried expression.
Meanwhile, Elder Song stood cautiously, sensing the surrounding movements. After detecting no abnormalities, he gradually relaxed.
"They've left. Let's go. We're returning to Shrek Academy," Mu Lao responded softly, his voice carrying a hint of exhaustion.
The group set off toward Shrek Academy.
Although Yan Shaozhe was full of questions, he didn't ask more after hearing the teacher's words.
He knew that the most important thing now was to return to the academy and ensure the safety of the extreme fire weapon spirit.
"It's a pity, we didn't get to fight."
After the group left, Jiang Li's figure appeared not far away, standing alongside Lingyun and Lei Yao.
Jiang Li had followed Mu En and the others after they left, as he felt that others wouldn't easily let the extreme fire weapon spirit go.
Originally, he hoped to witness a fierce battle and see the power of the Limit Douluos on Douluo Continent, but things hadn't gone as he wished.
For some unknown reason, Ye Xishui and Long Xiaoyao had simply left.
Disappointed by the lack of action, Jiang Li didn't linger and made his way back to his room with a calm pace.
Jiang Li closed his eyes, and his consciousness slowly sank into his mind, preparing to tally up the gains from this auction.
With a mysterious fluctuation, a glowing virtual panel gradually appeared—his personal attribute panel.
[Star Auction House]
[Host: Jiang Li]
[Weapon Spirit: Nine-colored Divine Lotus (Nine Ultimate Powers)]
[Soul Power Level: 36]
[Soul Rings: Purple Purple Black]
[Auction Earnings: 1.14923 Billion Gold Soul Coins]
[Lottery Wheel (10 million Gold Soul Coins per draw)]
Jiang Li looked at the striking numbers on the panel, a satisfied look flashing in his eyes as he nodded to himself.
The earnings from this auction far exceeded his expectations. The over 1.14 billion gold soul coins in his account meant he now had over a hundred chances to draw.
This auction had granted him ten lottery chances from the system as a gift—practically free.
"Let's start with a ten-draw pull."
Jiang Li muttered to himself softly, his voice tinged with excitement and nervousness.
He focused his mind and drew 100 million Gold Soul Coins from his large balance as the stake for the lottery.
With his command, a giant wheel began slowly turning in the virtual interface before him.
The wheel was filled with mysterious symbols and patterns, each section representing a potential reward.
