Soul Land IV (Douluo Dalu) : Ultimate Fighting

Chapter 413 – Kitchen Knife Team

TL : GoldenLung

Tang Yuge was still sitting alone in the front row. She didn’t come every week but when Lan Xuanyu and the rest came, they would see her once every two or three times.

After being stripped of her position as the class leader of the third years, Tang Yuge had become much more low-profile. There wasn’t any news about her among the third years, and she was much more reserved than before.

“Senior sister.” Lan Xuanyu stepped forward and greeted Tang Yuge.

Tang Yuge smiled and nodded at him. The way she looked at them seemed to contain something else. As if there was a deeper meaning in her eyes.

“Senior sister, what are you planning to get today?” Lan Xuanyu asked.

Tang Yuge said, “I haven’t thought about it yet. Let’s see what we have. I think I will buy some spirit fruits that can replenish my physical strength and soul power. It’s the final exam soon.”

“We also want to buy these. We don’t have any support-type soul masters,” Lan Xuanyu said frankly.

Tang Yuge said, “Do you guys only have six people now? A standard soul master team consists of three, five, or seven people. Seven people are usually the most common case. You can add a support type!”

Yuanen Huihui scoffed and said, “We don’t need any support. Support is too much of a drag and we have to take care of that person. So what if we like staying as a ‘kitchen knife team’?”

Tang Yuge glanced at him and turned her head. She did not rebuke but ignored him.

Lan Xuanyu said, “Mainly because we haven’t met any suitable support-type soul masters. There are very few support-type soul masters among our group this year. Senior sister should also know that it’s a little difficult for support-type soul masters to get into our Shrek.”

Tang Yuge sighed softly and said, “That’s right! There are fewer and fewer support-type soul masters now. There are even less good support-type soul masters.”

“Big brother Xuanyu, the auction is about to begin.” Yuanen Huihui pulled Lan Xuanyu.

Lan Xuanyu knew that he had always been hostile towards Tang Yuge, so he nodded towards her before sitting down with his teammates in the second row.

Dong Qianqiu sat next to him naturally. Ever since the two of them went out together that time, it had become like this whenever they come to the auction house. She took the initiative to change seats with Qian Lei, as she was originally next to Lan Mengqin.

How could Qian Lei not be willing? He naturally exchanged seats happily.

“Fatty, move over there, you’re taking up too much space, your fat is all over me.” Lan Mengqin was pushing Qian Lei hard, not letting his arm rest on the armrest of the seat between them.

Qian Lei chuckled. “Alright, alright, I’ll pay attention, alright? What’s so bad about being fat? It feels so safe! Don’t you think so?”

“Hmph!” Lan Mengqin rolled her eyes at him and looked at the auction stage.

The auction officially began. Perhaps because it was near the end of term, there were quite a number of Shrek Academy students in Shrek’s exclusive area today. Their green uniform was extremely eye-catching.

On the other hand, there were far fewer ordinary bidders today. They knew that Shrek Academy’s final exam would have a higher demand for students, and their chances of getting something good would naturally be lower.

After a few rounds of bidding, Lan Xuanyu took action twice and won two recovery-type spirit fruits. What made him frown was that the price he paid was over 30% higher than usual. It was obviously due to the high demand.

Just as Tang Yuge said, there were too few outstanding support-type soul masters now, so the supply of recovery-type spirit fruits was naturally insufficient.

Lan Xuanyu pondered for a moment and did not continue to take action. He was still very confident in his team’s strength. Among the first years, they had almost no competitors. The reason why they had to prepare for the final exam was to have better results so that the academy could provide them more resources. But if they bought something that was not worth it for this, it was better for him to use his brain and put in more effort.

Xiao Qi had already made an advance notice for the final exam this time, it was a team-based exam. They were free to form teams, and according to the number of people, the difficulty of the mission would be different.

A team trial was what Lan Xuanyu wanted to see the most. With him commanding, everyone’s abilities would naturally be maximized.

The two batches of recovery-type spirit fruits were barely enough for them to use, but he had still spent a purple emblem. It was simply too painful for his wallet. Hence, he decided that unless there was something extremely good, he wouldn’t make a move anymore.

As if the auction house had already seen through the thoughts of these students, extremely good things appeared very quickly.

“Next up is the eleventh item, a storage bracelet. It is a rare and premium item among soul storage devices. Its storage space is five cubic meters. Although it cannot be compared to a treasure that can store mechas, it is still a very good rare item. Let’s not talk about the specifics, it is suitable for both men and women, young and old. As long as it is a soul master, it can be used. Non soul masters can also use it through a soul battery. The starting price is five million, and each increment must be no less than five hundred thousand federal coins. The bidding begins now.”

“Storage bracelet?” Upon hearing these words, Lan Xuanyu, his teammates, and even all the Shrek Academy students present sat up straight.

Soul devices had been developed for many years, and various types of soul devices were emerging endlessly. The civilian and military types were already deeply ingrained in the society. And with the advancement of technology, the price of many soul devices were decreasing. But only the value of two types of soul devices remained high and were definitely hard currency.

One was space-type soul devices, used mainly as storage devices. The other was an even more mysterious time related soul device that was rarely seen and almost all of them were in the hands of the Federation’s government.

The reason why these two types of soul devices were so expensive was because of the difficulty in manufacturing them. Space-type soul devices not only needed to open up a stable small space but also needed gems with a peculiar attribute to strengthen them. Time-type soul devices were even more mysterious.

Lan Xuanyu and his team had been in the auction for a whole semester and this was their first time seeing a soul storage device.

In fact, among everyone, only Yuanen Huihui had seen a real soul storage device in his family, but he was still young and his family definitely wouldn’t give him something so precious.

The usefulness of a soul storage tool was obvious. It could store all kinds of resources and make everything easier. Back when Lan Xuanyu was completing tasks, he saw the academy using something similar. He was incredibly envious.

But they still didn’t have any ! A storage soul device was too rare.

It was said that the thing that top Mecha Masters hoped to obtain the most was a soul storage device that could store their mechas. This way, they could carry their mechas with them. They were all extremely valuable existences.

At this moment, the appearance of a storage bracelet made everyone’s eyes stare blank. This thing was too useful!

“5.5 million.” The first bid appeared almost immediately.

Lan Xuanyu’s brain quickly calculated. One purple emblem was equivalent to four million federal coins, and he still had eleven left, which was over 40 million.

He turned to look at his teammates.

“Take it down, boss. This is very useful!” Qian Lei said excitedly.

Lan Xuanyu narrowed his eyes and looked at the others.

“Take it down. It’s too convenient.” Lan Mengqin was the second to express her support.

The others nodded and rubbed their fists.

Just as Lan Xuanyu and his teammates were confirming, the price of this storage bracelet soared and reached a high price of 8 million in the blink of an eye.

Lan Xuanyu narrowed his eyes and raised the number plate in his hand without hesitation. “10 million.”

He directly increased the price by over two million. His goal was very simple—to make others feel pressured.
