Liu Erlong couldn't help but feel helpless as she watched Yun Feng refer to the Soul Master Tournament as a "baby competition."
However, for the sake of the academy's interests, she continued:
"This isn't good. If you can win the championship, Auntie will promise you one request, okay?"
A hint of surprise flashed in Yun Feng's eyes, and he swallowed involuntarily.
"Really?"
Seeing that Yun Feng still seemed doubtful, Liu Erlong immediately rolled her eyes and said in a coquettish voice:
"Why would I lie to you? I mean every word I say!"
Her tone was filled with determination.
Feeling the weight of her words, Yun Feng's face broke into a warm smile.
Only a few of the girls felt sorry for Liu Erlong, thinking that another person had fallen into the trap, daring to promise Yun Feng a request.
Seeing that the matter was settled, Liu Erlong smiled.
"Since it's decided, you all should head back now. Otherwise, Yun Feng, if you stay here, we won't be able to start repairing the houses and roads!"
Liu Erlong pointed at the crowd of onlookers, most of whom were girls, all staring intently at Yun Feng.
Yun Feng felt a headache coming on but still took a step forward, cleared his throat, and loudly announced:
"Classmates, Titan has already been defeated by me. There's nothing more to see here. The academy needs to start road repairs, so let's disperse!"
"Anyway, we'll have plenty of opportunities to meet in the future!"
The crowd thought for a moment. Although there was nothing more to see, they felt happy hearing their senior and junior speak like this. Satisfied, they pulled their companions and left.
With three days of vacation, of course, they had to have fun or cultivate!
Watching the crowd disperse like scattered birds, Liu Erlong nodded at Yun Feng and the others, then ran off to arrange tasks for the other teachers.
At this moment, Ning Rongrong also pulled Yun Feng over.
Seeing all the girls staring at him, Yun Feng took the initiative to say:
"I do have feelings for Liu Erlong, but don't you all agree too?"
As soon as he finished speaking, all the girls shook their heads in unison.
Yun Feng felt somewhat confused.
At times like this, the girls would usually ask him all sorts of questions.
What was going on today?
Something seemed off.
Seeing Yun Feng's wary gaze, the girls couldn't help but burst into laughter.
Finally, the little cat took the initiative to explain:
"Actually, Rongrong and the others all want to go out and have fun."
Only then did Yun Feng understand the truth of the matter, silently complaining in his heart. If they wanted to play, they should just say so. Why did they have to look at him like that? It was really scary!
After sorting out his emotions, Yun Feng directly said:
"Three days off, so let's go out and play tomorrow?"
Looking around and seeing everyone's agreement, Yun Feng smiled and returned to the courtyard.
Meanwhile, outside, during Yun Feng's recuperation period, the news of a Soul King defeating a Soul Douluo had already spread far and wide.
Some thought it was fake news, believing it to be a case of "three people making a tiger."
Others fell into deep thought upon hearing the name Yun Feng.
The city of Heaven Dou was in chaos, with various forces investigating Yun Feng's true identity, almost turning his background inside out.
After all, if this news was true, it would be earth-shattering!
This night was destined to be a sleepless one, while the instigator, Yun Feng, after finishing his meditation, played with the girls, making the night of Douluo seem so simple and enchanting.
The next day, as dawn broke and mist filled the air, Yun Feng and the others got up early to cultivate.
After completing the final cycle of his cultivation, Yun Feng let out a long breath of turbid air, turned to the girls, and said:
"Are you all ready?"
The girls had also finished their cultivation. Hearing Yun Feng's call, they quickly washed up and went out with him.
Xiao Wu took Yun Feng's hand and said:
"Let's go, we'll go eat."
Yun Feng looked at the faces of the girls and was momentarily lost in thought.
Days like these, even if he were to become an immortal, he wouldn't want to change them.
"Today, I'll spend the whole day playing with you!"
Seeing Yun Feng speak like this, the girls couldn't contain their joy.
The academy was indeed conveniently located in the city, with wide streets just outside the gate.
Heaven Dou City lived up to its name as the capital of the Heaven Dou Empire, with its broad and clean streets lined with shops. The streets were bustling with a continuous flow of people.
Without any delay, Yun Feng and the others headed straight to the place to eat.
Before they knew it, they had reached the city center.
Yun Feng looked at a domed building not far ahead and asked:
"Rongrong, Yan Zi, what is that?"
The building looked quite peculiar, completely round, as if half a sphere had been placed on the ground. There was no nameplate on it, only a hammer symbol.
Ning Rongrong and Dugu Yan followed Yun Feng's pointing finger, looked up at the building, and said in unison:
"That's the auction house!"
Yun Feng's heart stirred.
Xiao Wu and the others, having never seen such a place before, showed great interest.
Zhu Zhuqing glanced over and calmly said:
"How about we go check it out later?"
The girls all nodded.
After all, the auction house had plenty of fun things, and the atmosphere was great!
Xiao Wu's eyes lit up.
"Auction house? Shall we go take a look?"
"I remember reading in books that only the capitals of the two empires have the highest-grade auction houses, where even Soul Bones are sold."
Yun Feng knew about the auction house, naturally, because of Soul Bones.
They were treasures that every Soul Master dreamed of.
In a sense, as long as one's Soul Power reached a certain level, a Soul Master could obtain a Soul Ring, though the quality might vary. But Soul Bones were a different story.
The scarcity of Soul Bones destined them to be something many dreamed of but could never obtain.
Anyone who got their hands on a Soul Bone would go to great lengths to conceal it, fearing that some unscrupulous Soul Masters would resort to killing to obtain them.
Even the most ordinary Soul Bone could fetch an astronomical price.
Thus, auctioning Soul Bones was also a huge money-making scheme.
For those who couldn't obtain Soul Bones, besides resorting to killing, some secretly ventured into the forests to poach.
Despite the Spirit Hall's explicit ban on Soul Masters extensively hunting Soul Beasts for their bones, many Soul Masters, confident in their strength, still took the risk.
Of course, not many were willing to sell their Soul Bones.
Most preferred to exchange them for Soul Bones that better suited them or for other precious items.
Men die for wealth, and birds die for food. Yun Feng didn't feel it was his place to stand on moral high ground and criticize.
Xiao Wu's gaze dimmed slightly. Regarding such matters, her feelings were extremely complicated.
But she didn't say anything. Survival of the fittest.
This was a principle she had come to understand over a long time.
Yun Feng was also very interested in this auction.
After all, in his previous life, he had never had the chance to attend such high-end events.
Now that he was in this new world, how could he not take the opportunity to experience it!
"So, after we finish breakfast, let's go check it out, okay?"
The girls agreed enthusiastically.
After all, each revealed auction item was like opening a blind box.
The thrill of it, combined with the excitement of throwing money around in the auction house, was something that simple shopping couldn't compare to!
