"Isn't it just entering a hunting ground? How could I not be able to decide something like this? Besides, I won't lose this time!"
"Lu Yuan, then we're agreed. The Soul Duel will be held after I Breakthrough to Spirit Elder."
"This time, I'll let you know why the Blue Lightning Tyrant Dragon can be called the strongest Beast Spirit on the entire continent."
Yu Tianheng, who had approached Lu Yuan out of indignation, was stimulated at this moment and couldn't hold back. He agreed without a second thought.
Without waiting for Lu Yuan to say anything, he turned and walked away.
Watching his retreating figure, Lu Yuan's interest was also piqued.
Dragon Transformation was a unique skill exclusive to the Blue Lightning Tyrant Dragon in this era. It could be said that this skill was the true reason for the Blue Lightning Tyrant Dragon Spirit's power.
As a Spirit Master, he naturally wouldn't refuse the chance to compete.
However, even if it meant facing a Dragon TransformationBlue Lightning Tyrant Dragon across a major Realm, Lu Yuan didn't believe he would lose.
He believed in his own strength and was confident he would win calmly... In meditation, two days passed in a flash...
On this day, Lu Yuan also, as promised, boarded the carriage sent by Xue Qinghe to pick him up. Sitting in the carriage, Lu Yuan immediately entered a state of closed-eye meditation.
Heaven Dou Auction House
Led by a slender, qipao-clad maid with a large expanse of white skin exposed at her chest, Lu Yuan soon arrived at a private room.
Pushing open the door and entering the room, Lu Yuan then saw that familiar figure.
"Hahaha, after more than a month apart, Little Brother Lu's spirit power has become even more profound."
"Immediately after joining the Academy, you defeated Yu Tianheng, one of the Geniuses of the Blue Lightning Tyrant Dragon Clan. Stepping on his reputation as a Genius, you made a name for yourself throughout the Heaven Dou Royal Academy, becoming a well-known Genius. Little Brother Lu, you are truly a remarkable person!"
As soon as he entered the private room, Xue Qinghe immediately stood up, beaming with joy.
Laughing, he reached out and pulled Lu Yuan to the table.
"Little Brother Lu, I've been busy with state affairs this past month. As soon as I finished, I heard about many of your deeds."
"After defeating Yu Tianheng, you spent more than a month continuously in the mimicry cultivation environment. You are truly diligent in Cultivating."
Busy with state affairs? I think you've been investigating yourself from top to bottom.
Lu Yuan didn't believe Qian Renxue would try to win him over without investigating him. After all, he himself was a spy, so being a bit more cautious was perfectly normal.
"It was all just luck. My strength still has a lot of room for improvement."
Lu Yuan didn't lose his self-awareness because of Xue Qinghe's praise. He shook his head and spoke very humbly.
His spirit power of twenty-four at his age was indeed rare. Lu Yuan was even confident that even a true Genius like Bibi Dong couldn't compare to him at the same age.
But a Genius is not a strong person after all. Fallen Geniuses are remembered for a while at most before gradually disappearing from people's memories.
What Lu Yuan wanted was not the title of Genius, but the strength of a strong person, so he would not be arrogant in any way.
At this moment, Xue Qinghe looked at Lu Yuan, who showed no trace of arrogance or complacency, and couldn't help but smile slightly.
Under his deliberate praise, he showed no self-satisfaction at all. His Heart-Nature was truly solid, and he was a truly promising talent.
If he could be won over, he would definitely become a capable subordinate in the future.
"Little Brother Lu, you are truly humble!"
"In the future, there will definitely be a place for Little Brother Lu on the continent. Becoming a Titled Douluo is probably just a matter of time."
"But today, let's not discuss spirit power; let's just appreciate treasures."
As Xue Qinghe spoke, he directed Lu Yuan's gaze towards the upcoming auction outside the private room.
This was Lu Yuan's first time attending such an auction in both his past and present lives, and he looked around with interest.
Soon, a female auctioneer in a bright red qipao, exuding Charm with every movement, walked onto the stage with graceful steps.
"Hello, distinguished guests. This auction will once again be conducted by me, the golden auctioneer Asna."
"I'm sure all distinguished guests are already impatient, so let the auction begin now!"
"Today's first item is a tonic coveted by countless men, a divine item to restore dignity in the bedroom."
"Its effect, those who have used it all say it's good. It's an essential item for family harmony."
"The first item: Ten-Thousand-Year Whale Gel. Starting bid is one thousand five hundred gold coins, and each bid must not be less than fifty gold coins!"
This was Lu Yuan's first time attending such an auction, and listening to the auctioneer named Asna on stage, he was directly astonished and dumbfounded.
Is it really okay to say such things in front of so many people? Hiss... isn't this a bit indecent?
However, when he saw the yellowish-brown colloid presented before everyone, his expression couldn't help but change slightly.
Ten-Thousand-Year Whale Gel, this thing actually appeared here. Lu Yuan looked at the colloid below and couldn't help but fall into some thought.
Should he try to buy it? After all, this thing has great efficacy in improving physical strength.
Lu Yuan himself could improve his physical strength through meditation, so his need for the Whale Gel's effect wasn't actually that great.
But since this thing was presented to him now, it seemed a bit unreasonable not to buy it.
In this era, Whale Gel was still in a state where its effects had not been fully discovered, so it generally circulated only within aristocratic circles. It had a price, but it wasn't too outrageous.
Ten thousand years later, a piece of Ten-Thousand-Year Whale Gel would probably fetch an auction price of over a hundred thousand gold coins.
Looking at the Whale Gel in front of him, Lu Yuan still decided to make a move. Although the effect wasn't great, it was better than nothing.
Moreover, if he ate it, perhaps it could even increase the age of his spirit ring when he reached the third spirit ring.
Having decided to act, Lu Yuan immediately made a bid.
Under Xue Qinghe's strange gaze, Lu Yuan finally secured the item for a price of three thousand gold coins.
"Little Brother Lu, you actually have such a hobby."
Xue Qinghe's face was inexplicably a bit dark at this moment. Lu Yuan, whom he valued and even regarded as the next generation of Spirit Hall, turned out to be a lecher.
If Lu Yuan were an adult, it would be one thing, but how old was he now? Just over seven, not even eight.
At such an age, if you bought Whale Gel, could you even use it? Wouldn't you just explode yourself?
Sigh!
Suddenly, Xue Qinghe regretted it a bit. If he had known it would turn out like this, he wouldn't have recommended Lu Yuan to the Heaven Dou Royal Academy.
This was truly a case of 'he who touches pitch shall be defiled'; he had learned bad habits from those nobles.
Looking at Xue Qinghe's expression, Lu Yuan felt misunderstood.
He couldn't directly tell Xue Qinghe the true effects of the Whale Gel. Finally, a flash of inspiration struck him, and he came up with an idea.
"Big Brother Xue misunderstands. Whale Gel can not only invigorate yang but also be used as medicine."
"To be honest, Big Brother Xue, I just recently became a disciple of SeniorYe Cixin, Head of the Family, to study medicine. This Whale Gel is merely for research purposes."
