383 – Penniless
Lan Mengqin was similar to Qian Lei, she also focused more on the improvement of her spiritual power. Her spiritual power was probably the highest among them. Even Yuanen Huihui, who had a five-ring cultivation base and went through a Second Awakening, couldn’t match her.
Yuanen Huihui was improving in a more comprehensive way. After his Second Awakening, he used his emblems for replenishing his body.
Shrek Academy had strict rules. Although he had the support of his family, after getting admitted to the academy, his family could no longer provide him with Shrek emblems. The family’s resources did not belong to him alone.
Therefore, the six of them were now facing an important problem, that was, being poor!
Sitting in the exclusive area of Shrek Academy in the auction house, Qian Lei was crying and counting with his fingers.
“Forget it, it’s not enough.” Lan Xuanyu said expressionlessly.
They had just had a good meal, and then they came to the auction to have a look.
There was definitely good stuff, and as Shrek Academy students, if they participated in the auction, they would definitely be able to buy them at a lower price. But the problem was that they were out of money.
Yes, not only were their emblems gone, Qian Lei’s five million federal coins were also all spent.
This month, they had all improved to varying degrees, at a pace definitely much faster than the outside world, but it also consumed the emblem at frightening pace. It was those consumptions that enabled them to improve so quickly.
“Money is not everything. However, if you don’t have money, you really can’t do anything ! Boss, what should we do! There are no more loopholes we can exploit. I’m in so, so much suffering!” Qian Lei said with a tragic expression on his face.
Since the last time he happened to pick up the storage coin, he immediately became very devoted to picking up another lucky item. The income from that time had supported them in their cultivation for a whole month.
However, in the next few auctions, there was no such good luck. After all, Shrek’s auction house would not always make such mistakes.
After knowing that they had leaked an Ivy of Life, the Shrek Auction Housewas was shaken to the core, and many appraisers were replaced. Now all the lots needed to be more rigorously appraised before they could be auctioned.
Of course, Lan Xuanyu and the others did not know about this, but it had become very hard for them to find another golden opportunity.
“I have no money left either.” Liu Feng said miserably.
The nature itself of his Martial Soul had improved, and his cultivation speed was naturally much faster and stronger than before. But just like Lan Xuanyu who could not resist going to Sea God Lake to cultivate, after getting a taste of improving at high speed, once it slowed down, he would also get anxious! If it weren’t for the money, he wouldn’t even have come out with his friends today.
“A penniless hero.” Yuanen Huihui sighed.
Qian Lei glanced at him, “It’s dark, you’re not a hero now, but a clang rose.”
“Get lost !” Yuanen Huihui was furious.
Qian Lei turned to the other side, “Your little sister is causing trouble, don’t you care?” The direction he was looking at was towards Tang Yuge, who was sitting not far away.
In fact, Tang Yuge’s life was also very regular. This day of the week was also when she would come to the auction. Thus, they had met several times. Coupled with Tang Yuge’s last time reminder, the relationship between everyone had become pretty decent now.
Tang Yuge would just ignore Yuanen Huihui now, and it seemed that the hostility between them had also weakened a lot after their battle.
Tang Yuge looked at Qian Lei, then turned to Lan Xuanyu, “Are you lacking emblems now?” She knew that Lan Xuanyu was the leader of the six, although this guy was not very strong.
“Aren’t you asking knowingly?” Yuanen Huihui was the one who replied. He did not have a good temper with Tang Yuge.
Tang Yuge said indifferently: “Why don’t I give you a chance then, let’s gamble again.”
Lan Xuanyu raised his eyebrows slightly, he stopped Yuanen Huihui who was about to speak up, and said, “Senior, how do you want to bet?”
Tang Yuge narrowed his eyes, “Let’s fight again, in the Douluo World. We’ll bet ten yellow emblems, how about that?”
As soon as these words came out, Lan Xuanyu’s group of six was taken aback.
Ten yellow emblems. That was not a small number! If converted into federal coins, it would be two million.
Yuanen Huihui was overjoyed and wanted to say yes. Since the awakening of his Elf King’s bloodline, his strength had improved a lot, and now he felt more confident than ever. He also knew that Liu Feng and Dong Qianqiu’s Martial Souls had evolved. Now their overall strength, excluding Qian Lei, had greatly improved compared to the last time they fought against her.
But Lan Xuanyu had stopped him, and said solemnly: “However, we don’t have so many emblems to bet, and we don’t have Battle Armors.”
Tang Yuge said calmly: “We still won’t use our Battle Armors. As for the bet, you can owe us, and pay us back within one year.”
Lan Xuanyu looked at Tang Yuge, “Why does senior sister want to fight against us?”
Tang Yuge glanced at him profoundly, “Give you a chance to make money, and give ourselves a chance to prove ourselves.”
During the battle that day, they not only lost the game, but the video was also spread. That really made a lot of money for Lan Xuanyu. More importantly, as the number one team among the third years, after losing the game, their reputation had greatly suffered. Even the second-year team had come to challenge them. Although they were defeated, Tang Yuge still thought it was a huge shame.
After losing that battle, she carefully reviewed the entire battle process. No one watched the video more times than she did.
To sum up, in addition to Lan Xuanyu’s unexpected abilities, luck occupied a large part.
If it weren’t for the Angel of Judgment who went berserk after being disrupted, leading to a big explosion, and thus pinning down the two Black Tortoise Shield soul masters, how could they have lost ?
It could be said that the other four members of their team had almost used up their strength due to an internal conflict. And the arrow that Yuan Enhuihui shot when his body mutated was also extremely abnormal. That was a burst of power coming from his Martial Soul’s Second Awakening, it was by no means a representation of his true strength.
Therefore, an opinion constantly persisted among the third years, that was, they were not convinced. Yes, Tang Yuge was also not convinced, and her teammates were even more unconvinced.
It was a shame to lose against first years. Therefore, she had always wanted to find an opportunity to fight again.
However, during that battle, Yuanen Huihui’s coma had a great impact on her, making hesitate. Only then did she realize that in her heart, she didn’t really want to hurt Yuanen Huihui.
Regarding the relationship between the two of them, Yuanen Huihui had already told Lan Xuanyu and the others.
Tang Yuge was his half-sister. That’s right, blood-related sister.
His father had a marriage before marrying the princess of the Elven race. Later, for some reason, they divorced. At that time, Tang Yuge was already born. Tang Yuge’s parents divorced when she was still in her mother’s womb.
In Tang Yuge’s education, there was one thing that was included, hatred of her biological father.
This was why Tang Yuge was hostile to Yuanen Huihui. She took her mother’s last name. But she would still subconsciously think that Yuanen Huihui robbed her from her father.
But when Yuanen Huihui was in danger and almost died, Tang Yuge felt extremely painful. After all, he was still her brother ! Her heart was still kind-hearted after all.
So afterwards, when Yuanen Huihui woke up, she became less hostile to this guy that she didn’t know if it was her younger brother or younger sister.
But the voice for revenge in the third grade had never died. As the number one person among the third years and their class leader, Tang Yuge was always put under great pressure. She had the responsibility to rectify the third years’ reputation. Therefore, just after hearing that Lan Xuanyu and the others were struggling to make ends meet, she proposed this bet.
