Chapter 136: Forces Gather, Su Yun Discovers Tang San

Chapter 136: Forces Gather, Su Yun Discovers Tang San

Seven days later, at the auction house of the Heaven Dou Empire.

The evening was the time when the auction house auctioned its most premium treasures.

During those two hours, only buyers who had deposited more than one million gold soul coins as a security deposit could participate.

At other times, any bidder could join.

At this moment, countless forces converged here.

Not only the royal families of the two great empires, the Heaven Dou Empire and the Star Luo Empire, but also two major sects, the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile Sect and the Blue Lightning Tyrant Dragon Sect, sent representatives.

Additionally, other family forces gathered here.

The entire auction house was buzzing because of the external spirit bone consigned by the Spirit Hall.

However, many people were still in the dark about the identity of the person who had consigned this external spirit bone.

Many were coveting the external spirit bone while pondering why someone would auction off such a precious item, second only to a hundred thousand-year soul ring in value.

After all, an external spirit bone is not a common cabbage found everywhere.

The seating arrangement in the auction house was organized from white, yellow, purple, black to red, with the red seats being the most prestigious, not for the ordinary.

The white seats, naturally, were for anyone to sit in.

In the red VIP area.

The first to arrive was the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile Sect.

Ning Fengzhi, the sect master of the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile Sect, personally attended. Beside him were two Title Douluos, Sword Douluo and Bone Douluo, and he was holding the hand of the little princess of the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile Sect, Ning Rongrong.

After the four sat down, Ning Fengzhi turned to Bone Douluo Gu Rong and asked, "Uncle Gu, did you find out who consigned that external spirit bone?"

Bone Douluo shook his head, "Couldn't find out. According to the auction house, the consigner is a Soul Douluo, and from his aura, he seems very strong, almost at the level of a Title Douluo."

"Sometimes what seems to be a step away is a distance that one might never cross in their lifetime," Sword Douluo commented. "The external spirit bone is said to come from a thousand-year Man-Faced Demon Spider, highly toxic, which is not very valuable to us or to Rongrong."

His tone carried a hint of regret.

Ning Fengzhi felt the same.

If the external spirit bone were a gem-type, he would have spared no effort to obtain it for his daughter.

Unfortunately, just being of the poison attribute made him hesitant.

"In our Seven Treasure Glazed Tile Sect, there are a few talented individuals with poison attribute martial souls, but unfortunately, Rongrong doesn't think highly of them. Otherwise, we could have bought it," Ning Fengzhi said.

The direct disciples of the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile Sect must partner with soul masters of strong combat capabilities, as per the sect's rules.

Hearing her father's words, Ning Rongrong immediately showed a look of disgust, "Who likes those who use poison? Their whole body is poisonous. What if I get poisoned being around them?"

As she spoke, Ning Rongrong suddenly felt a chill behind her and instinctively looked back.

She saw a man with dark green hair and a cold gaze sitting behind them.

"Old poison?"

"Dugu Bo?"

Sword Douluo and Bone Douluo recognized the newcomer, their expressions instantly becoming serious.

Ning Rongrong, realizing it was Dugu Bo, turned pale, knowing she had misspoken.

Even though she could act unruly within the sect, she knew of Dugu Bo's unpredictable temper and his unparalleled poison skills.

Although he was the weakest among the Title Douluos, he was extremely difficult to deal with. Even soul masters with higher soul power levels found it hard to defeat him without sustaining fatal injuries.

"Senior Dugu, my daughter misspoke. Please forgive us," Ning Fengzhi immediately stood up for Ning Rongrong, his tone sincere, "Whatever Senior Dugu wishes for today, consider it on the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile Sect."

Despite having two Title Douluos in the sect, Ning Fengzhi would never want to offend another Title Douluo.

After all, even the weakest Title Douluo is still a Title Douluo!

Especially one skilled in poison?

Ning Fengzhi feared not Dugu Bo's anger but the possibility of him secretly administering some undetectable, tasteless poison to his daughter.

After all, even if Sword Douluo and Bone Douluo were strong, they were not as knowledgeable about poisons as Dugu Bo.

"I'll buy what I want myself, no need for the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile Sect to spend money..."

Dugu Bo was neutral towards the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile Sect and generally uninterested in sect affairs.

However, mid-sentence, Dugu Bo's eyes shifted, adding, "But... if you insist, you could buy something for my granddaughter. At her current stage, she indeed needs cultivation resources."

Beside Dugu Bo stood a girl, the very one who had returned from the Spirit Hall, Dugu Yan.

Seeing Dugu Yan, the four from the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile Sect were taken aback.

Ning Rongrong's eyes widened, "Yan Yan, you're back?"

The Seven Treasure Glazed Tile Sect was aware that Dugu Yan had nearly lost her life due to a sudden outbreak of poison.

Fortunately, Su Yun from the Spirit Hall was there with their Su Yun and intervened, preventing a tragedy.

Ning Fengzhi and the two Title Douluos observed Dugu Yan's aura, clearly much better than before. Could Su Yun have really helped Dugu Yan?

But Su Yun was with the Spirit Hall, and Dugu Bo had always been at odds with them.

Why would Su Yun help Dugu Bo treat his granddaughter?

Dugu Yan nodded to Ning Rongrong, "With Su Yun's help, the poison in my body has been greatly suppressed. However, to fully absorb the poison, I still need a soul bone."

Ning Rongrong bluntly asked, "So, you're here for that external spirit bone?"

"I heard from my dad that the external spirit bone comes from a Man-Faced Demon Spider. It's both a poison attribute and a beast martial soul type, which should suit you perfectly."

Dugu Yan smiled and shook her head, "That item is too precious, not something I can obtain. Today, I'm just accompanying my grandfather to see who will win it."

Ning Rongrong was right.

The external spirit bone from the Man-Faced Demon Spider was extremely suitable for Dugu Yan, especially its unique growth attribute, ideal for Dugu Yan who has yet to fully mature.

If Dugu Yan could acquire this bone and integrate it into her body, once she successfully steps into the realm of a Title Douluo, her achievements would undoubtedly surpass those of her grandfather, Dugu Bo!

However, Dugu Yan had not disclosed to her grandfather, Dugu Bo, that the external spirit bone was acquired by Su Yun. After all, she was aware of the value of the external spirit bone.

If her grandfather knew that the external spirit bone belonged to Su Yun, he would definitely confront Su Yun.

But Dugu Yan believed that even if her grandfather spent his entire fortune, it would be difficult to obtain the external spirit bone from Su Yun's hands.

The Spirit Hall's original intention was to exchange this external spirit bone for an item more suitable for Su Yun, such as another plant-type spirit bone, to enhance Su Yun's combat effectiveness.

Dugu Bo, noticing his granddaughter's expression, affectionately patted her head and said, "Yan Yan, don't be disheartened. Grandpa will do his utmost to secure that spirit bone for you."

Ning Fengzhi added, "If there's an opportunity, our Seven Treasure Glazed Tile Sect will also offer our modest support."

Dugu Bo glanced at Ning Fengzhi, his eyes slightly narrowing before finally nodding, "Thank you."

Without further discussion, Dugu Bo and Dugu Yan found seats and sat down.

Soon, the auction house seats were gradually filled.

Many familiar figures also entered Su Yun's line of sight.

He had not chosen the front rows but opted to sit in the back, watching representatives from the Star Luo Empire, Heaven Dou Empire, and various sect forces, presumably all here for the spirit bone they had consigned.

"Su Yun, people from the Blue Tyrant Academy... no, it should now be called Shrek Academy, have arrived," Chrysanthemum Douluo suddenly pointed in a direction.

Following Chrysanthemum Douluo's direction, Zhu Zhuqing immediately saw Dai Mubai and turned her head away, unwilling to look further.

Su Yun glanced over and saw the Golden Iron Triangle leading Dai Mubai, Tang San, Ma Hongjun, and Oscar walking in.

However, although he did not recognize Tang San at the moment, he felt the latter looked somewhat familiar.

"Who is that?" Su Yun pointed at Tang San's somewhat ugly face and asked.

Chrysanthemum Douluo replied, "Not sure, but that kid is said to be an orphan found by Yu Xiaogang. Apparently, his martial soul is also Blue Silver Grass, and he's not weak in talent, with a heavy killing intent. Yu Xiaogang seems to have named him Ah San in memory of his disciple Tang Hao's son."

Chrysanthemum Douluo scoffed, "I think he's still sticking to his ridiculous theory. A common Blue Silver Grass martial soul will never amount to anything."

Su Yun watched Tang San and the others sit down, wondering internally, "Sister Yin, do you find that Ah San person familiar?"

Sister Yin blinked, "Do you think that Ah San is actually Tang San?"

"Exactly," Su Yun confirmed his suspicion, "I don't think an ordinary person would have the Golden Iron Triangle bring him out like this."

"Alright, I'll have a look," Sister Yin said and then left Su Yun's spirit space as a soul body.

Now, Sister Yin could move outside as a soul body for a much greater distance than the initial 100 meters. After Su Yun broke through the 40th level of soul power and became a Soul Ancestor, she could move up to 400 meters away.

She floated in front of Tang San, glanced at his face with a bit of revulsion, then used her soul power to sense him.

In the next second, her expression changed drastically.

The person in front of her was indeed the one who had occupied her child's body.

She quickly returned to inform Su Yun, who was immediately taken aback.

However, he quickly understood the reason.

"Failed awakening?" Sister Yin echoed Su Yun's speculation.

"Exactly," Su Yun explained, "Perhaps Tang Hao was afraid that in the battle between me and Tang San, his Blue Silver Grass would be overshadowed by my Blue Silver Emperor, so he tried to awaken Tang San's bloodline power by other means to create another Blue Silver Emperor."

"But fate was not on his side. There can only be one Blue Silver Emperor in the world, hence Tang San not only failed to evolve but even messed up his bloodline, resulting in a distorted appearance."

Su Yun's speculation was very close to the truth.

At the time, that was indeed what Tang Hao had thought.

"What do we do now, little Su Yun?" Sister Yin asked.

Previously, Sister Yin would have been eager to eliminate this impostor, but knowing she was about to be revived, she was not in a hurry.

She was more willing to follow Su Yun's suggestion.

Su Yun smirked, "Let him play his role then. He thinks he can control everything, unaware that with Sister Yin here, we've already discovered his true identity."

"Although I was far from him just now, I could clearly sense that his cultivation speed isn't very fast."

Sister Yin nodded, "His aura is much weaker than yours, barely over the 30th level of soul power."

Su Yun smiled, Tang San's cultivation reaching just over the 30th level, thanks to the Xuan Tian Gong and the resources from Blue Tyrant Academy, was normal.

But his immortal herb had been taken by Su Yun, and the Eight Spider Lances had been...

Thinking of this, Su Yun's eyes brightened.

No wonder Yu Xiaogang brought Tang San here; it was for the external spirit bone!

Su Yun was certain that if Yu Xiaogang had known about the external spirit bone in advance, he would have brought Tang San here at any cost to secure it.

After all, he had Liu Erlong, a woman willing to give everything for him.

Too bad, the final decision on selling the external spirit bone still lay with Su Yun.

He would not sell it to Tang San.

If it ended up not being sold, he would rather give the external spirit bone directly to Dugu Yan.

At least that would make Dugu Bo more loyal to him.

And incidentally, improve Dugu Yan's favorability towards him.

...

At the Blue Tyrant Academy, as soon as Yu Xiaogang and others took their seats, they suddenly felt a powerful aura approaching.

Yu Xiaogang looked up and his expression changed.

The newcomer was none other than his second uncle—Yu Luomian!

"Second Uncle!"

Seeing Yu Luomian, Liu Erlong's face also changed, "Dad!"

Although Liu Erlong was Yu Luomian's illegitimate child, she had been absorbed back into the Blue Lightning Tyrant Dragon Sect. With her mutated martial soul and talent, coupled with Yu Luomian's guilt, she was given control of the Blue Tyrant Academy located in the Heaven Dou Empire's imperial city.

However, upon learning that the Blue Tyrant Academy had suddenly been renamed Shrek Academy, Yu Luomian was furious.

Taking this opportunity, he naturally wanted to find out what had happened to his daughter!
