Heaven Dou Auction House

"Lin Xiao, stop running around!"

"Get ready to go back!"

Dugu Bo channeled his Soul Power into his throat, his voice traveling a great distance to reach Lin Xiao's ears.

Upon hearing this, Lin Xiao, who was halfway up the mountain, suddenly unleashed a series of Flame Bursts, his speed even faster than during his previous training. In no time, he shot up.

Glancing at Dugu Bo's location, Lin Xiao used Burst Step, covering dozens of meters in the blink of an eye, and soon arrived before Dugu Bo.

His Soul Power somewhat depleted, Lin Xiao supported himself on his knees, catching his breath.

"Senior Dugu, let's go."

"No rush, catch your breath first."

Dugu Bo sized up Lin Xiao, asking the question that puzzled him.

"What kind of technique is that? You can use Flame Burst like that?"

Lin Xiao said, "Of course."

"The explosive force generated is much stronger than the thrust produced by stepping on the ground."

Dugu Bo wondered, "But I've never heard of such a thing. Is creating your own Soul Skills really that easy? Doesn't your Soul Skill have any flaws?"

Lin Xiao's lips twitched slightly.

"Uh, flaws, of course, it has flaws."

"It's just a bit hard on shoes."

Hearing this, Dugu Bo looked down and saw that Lin Xiao's once-white feet were now covered in dust, his shoes long gone, and his trouser legs were blasted to shreds.

Two toes were even sticking up, looking quite comical.

Dugu Bo burst into laughter.

"Hahaha, what's the name of your self-created Soul Skill? If you haven't thought of one, I have a good idea for you. How about 'Barefoot Blast'?"

Lin Xiao's face darkened, and he gritted his teeth, "I've already named it, it's called Burst Step!"

Hmph, can a scholar's actions be called stealing? This is called appropriation!

I've used Xiao Huohuo's fighting technique name!

Dugu Bo muttered, "Burst Step, that's quite a fitting name."

"Let's go to the Heaven Dou Auction House. Have you been there before, kid?"

"Never."

"Hehe, then I'll take you to see the world!"

Dugu Bo seized the opportunity to show off in front of Lin Xiao, finally feeling refreshed.

Lin Xiao went to the stream to wash his feet, put on a new pair of shoes, and followed Dugu Bo towards Heaven Dou City.

Just to hurry on the road, he was carried by Dugu Bo like a chick for the entire journey, which looked a bit embarrassing.

...

Heaven Dou Auction House.

Land in Heaven Dou City was worth its weight in gold, and the Heaven Dou Auction House occupied a huge area of land in the core area.

Naturally, the profits here were beyond ordinary people's imagination.

Lin Xiao originally thought that Dugu Bo would take him to the auction house to bid, but he didn't expect Dugu Bo to produce a black-gold card, and then they went straight to the backstage of the Heaven Dou Auction House without any obstruction.

The person in charge was already waiting for him.

Upon seeing Dugu Bo, the middle-aged person in charge quickly stepped forward, instructed two young assistants behind him to bring a box forward, and then respectfully said, "Poison Douluo, this is what you wanted."

Dugu Bo nodded.

He opened the box, revealing a crystal cover, inside which was a small scorpion, emerald jade in color, lying motionless in the glass cover.

Dugu Bo glanced at it a few times, and after confirming it was correct, he took out his black gold card to swipe and pay.

Lin Xiao silently followed beside him, not saying a word.

"Thanks."

Dugu Bo said blandly.

His tone was very indifferent, sounding aloof and not genuinely grateful.

However, the middle-aged person in charge didn't mind at all. On the contrary, he visibly breathed a sigh of relief, a smile appearing on his face as he respectfully said, "I wouldn't dare, this is all I should do."

"Poison Douluo, I wonder if you would like to participate in today's auction?"

Dugu Bo was about to say no, but his gaze swept to Lin Xiao beside him, and he nodded, "Arrange it for me."

The middle-aged person in charge then instructed the two assistants behind him to take Dugu Bo and Lin Xiao to the VIP box.

Lin Xiao: "..."

From beginning to end, Dugu Bo hardly spoke, yet this middle-aged person in charge eagerly arranged everything.

The middle-aged person in charge was wholeheartedly licking, and Dugu Bo was satisfied with being licked. Both of them felt that this was a matter of course. Logically speaking, the person in charge of such a large auction house should have a high status, but he served Dugu Bo like a servant.

Lin Xiao's expression couldn't help but become a little dazed.

His understanding of this world had deepened.

This was a world with an extremely strict hierarchy, full of class barriers. Logically speaking, an orphan like him should have felt inferior or even fearful from the beginning when facing top figures like Ye Qingxian and Dugu Bo. However, because of the education he received in his previous life, his spine was straight, and he didn't have that feeling at the time.

Until today, when he went out with Dugu Bo and saw one of the people in charge of the Heaven Dou Auction House being so flattering to Dugu Bo, it felt as natural as the basic laws of the universe.

Lin Xiao was reminded again: this was, after all, a Xuanhuan world where the big fish eats the small fish, and the strong are supreme. Even now, as a Great Soul Master, Lin Xiao already had the capital to bully men and dominate women. For ordinary people, he was an existence that they absolutely couldn't afford to provoke.

In this world, ordinary people lived cautiously in the shadow of Soul Masters, while Soul Masters lived submissively in the shadow of even stronger Soul Masters.

Can one person really change the world?

In any case, one must first do well oneself.

Dugu Bo and Lin Xiao, led by the service staff, arrived at a luxurious box. All the furniture in the box was made of top-quality materials, and the air was filled with a faint fragrance. He didn't know what was sprayed, but it smelled quite good.

Soon, two more shapely female commentators came in.

Their main role was to accompany and serve people. If the distinguished guests in the box liked them, they could, of course, have the female commentators do things that were not suitable for children.

The female commentators in the top VIP boxes were all virgins.

If they were favored by a distinguished guest, the auction house would also give them rewards. Of course, in general, after being favored by a distinguished guest, these female commentators would have enough money to live a carefree life, and they wouldn't care about the small amount given by the auction house.

A little bit of grease from the upper class's fingernails.

Was the lifelong dream of the lower class.

The differences in the world were vividly displayed.

Dugu Bo noticed that Lin Xiao had suddenly become taciturn. After thinking for a moment, he waved his hand and asked the two beautiful female commentators to leave.

"Lin Xiao, do you feel a little uncomfortable in your heart?"

"Hey, I'm telling you, you still haven't seen enough!"

"Which of those noble masters doesn't have a few well-trained female slaves? They have people catch their spit and urine with their mouths. There are even more dark and cruel things in places you can't see!"

"I should take you to see the world more often in the future. If you don't know how bad this world is, how will you know how good this world is and how lovely the people around you are?"

Lin Xiao was silent.

After a long while, he bowed to Dugu Bo.

"Senior Dugu, I am grateful for your teachings."
