Soul Land V (Douluo Dalu): Rebirth of Tang San

Chapter 945: Chapter 943: Overcrowded

Big Cat laughed and said, “It seems that your business deal is going to succeed.”

Tang San smiled and replied, “It’s nothing more than intimidation and temptation. With enough enticing benefits, those who live in the shadows will do anything.”

Big Cat asked, “Is there anything you need me to do?”

Tang San shook his head and said, “No need, just participate in the competition. This time it’s actually a great opportunity to temper oneself. You could say that all the strongest below the rank of Emperor will appear at this martial arts competition for marriage, and everyone will give their all for the chance to claim the throne. Such a rare opportunity must be seized. It’s the best time to hone oneself. Maintain your safety when facing your opponent.”

“I understand.” Big Cat nodded, knowing what Tang San meant.

After saying goodbye to Big Cat, Tang San returned alone to the Ancestral Court Council. The appearance of Shadow Demon today gave him a sudden inspiration, a bold idea. But this idea still needed further communication with the patriarch of the Shadow Demon Clan to determine whether it could really be implemented. It would pose a significant risk for the Shadow Demon Clan. Of course, Tang San would surely offer them a price they could agree to.

There were only three days left until the grand auction. Through his observation with the Spirit Rhinoceros Eye, Tang San could see that the Luck within the Ancestral Court was extremely strong and condensed, almost returning to its former peak state.

This was clearly orchestrated by the Heavenly Fox Clan in secret, starting from the Tree Ancestor’s emergence, bringing the origin of life to Demon Monster Land, which elevated Luck again. Then using this martial arts competition for marriage and the grand auction to gather the enthusiasm of the entire continent was a good method to condense Luck.

The more Luck the Ancestral Court condensed, the more stable the central status of Demon Monster Land would be. And the Heavenly Fox Holy Mountain here would receive even more of Luck’s blessing, conducive to the recovery of the Great Demon Emperor Heavenly Fox’s previous consumption.

These were all open strategies, obvious to all. But the Ancestral Court condensing Luck was a great advantage for both Tianyu Empire and Rihchen Empire. Naturally, it would receive the support of all Emperors.

Once again to stir up a storm in the Ancestral Court. If everything goes well this time, it would lay the foundation for both himself and Pretty Girl to become Emperors, and then it’s time to accumulate power again and wait for the chance to break through to Emperor. Once both he and Pretty Girl become Emperors, they will probably have to officially stand against the Emperors of the Monster and Fairy Clans.

For the next three days, Tang San reduced his departures from the Ancestral Court Council, only visiting Pretty Girl once, and spending the rest of the time cultivating within the Council, awaiting the auction.

Recently, he hadn’t seen Tianyang Spirit King, and there wasn’t even a trace of any Emperor’s presence in the Ancestral Court Council. It’s unknown if these Emperors were all sharpening the blades for their clansmen who would be participating in the martial arts competition for marriage.

In any case, what Tang San knew was that both White Tiger Great Demon King and Undying Great Demon Emperor had been frequently guiding Pretty Girl in her cultivation. Both Emperors clearly had high hopes for her. Instead, her actual father, Crystal Phoenix Demon Emperor, hadn’t appeared. Mainly because he dared not show up; now that Su Qin was by White Tiger Great Demon King’s side, Crystal Phoenix Demon Emperor had tried to find her several times after knowing she came to the Ancestral Court but was driven away by White Tiger Great Demon King each time. This might very well be the most unfortunate Emperor in history, and he couldn’t argue his case either; Su Qin didn’t want to see him.

The Ancestral Court’s grand auction was to be held at the Grand Ancestral Auction House. One could say that it was going to be a tough ticket to get.

Nearly all the nobles who came to the Grand Ancestral Auction House wanted to attend this auction. It’s not that they all really wanted to participate in the bidding, but rather they all held the attitude that even just watching would be worthwhile.

Indeed, at this once-in-a-millennium super auction, no one could predict what good items would appear, but without a doubt, many unprecedented items would definitely be visible, which would be great even just to broaden one’s horizons!

The vast Grand Ancestral Auction House naturally had a large quantity of tickets for sale. But even so, they still remained hard to come by, with the prices of the most ordinary tickets already having skyrocketed. The ticket sales alone were enough to fill the Ancestral Court’s coffers to the brim.

And the tickets for the VIP rooms in the Grand Ancestral Auction House? Those were somethings money couldn’t even buy.

Each Emperor had their own exclusive rooms. Aside from that, only the lords of the major cities could have exclusive rooms. Even the patriarchs of the Level 2 Bloodline races couldn’t secure a VIP room and had to sit with the ordinary bidders in the public seats. The patriarchs of First level Bloodline races could indeed secure a VIP room, but their cost was also extremely high.

Tang San, being both the Clan Leader of the Blue Gold Tree Clan and the Jianmu City Lord, naturally had his own exclusive VIP room. His VIP room could accommodate around ten people, and the treatment of the Main City Lord was indeed different. It didn’t hurt that the director of the grand auction knew the Blue Gold Tree Clan was very wealthy.

Pretty Girl also had her own VIP room. As the Jiali City Lord and the initiator of the upcoming martial arts marriage tournament, as well as the champion of the Ancestral Hall elite competition, her degree of attention was definitely the number one ranked existence in the Ancestral Court at present.

The super auction would be held continuously for three days without breaks. The auctions would continue with different auctioneers taking turns. All the items up for bidding were categorized and then sorted according to their different values. Those with tickets were not allowed to leave during the bidding process; once they left the auction house, they could not re-enter. Of course, the auction venue was equipped with food, water, and restrooms.

The first day’s auction started at noon, but as early as morning, the exterior of the Grand Ancestral Auction House was already overcrowded.

Initially, the person in charge of the grand auction had also proposed conducting the auction in front of the Ancestral Court Council Mountain to establish a new auction house. However, it was later rejected because that area had already been occupied. It was being used to build the venue for the subsequent martial arts marriage tournament.

Keep in mind that the next participants in the marital martial arts contenders would all be rank 11 or above. Fighters of this level could cause tremendous destruction during their battles. Although Emperors would judge, it was still necessary to have an even more powerful protective array, and the Ancestral Court Council Mountain was the most suitable location. It was like reinforcing and elevating the original elite competition venue. So, the auction would still take place at the grand auction house.

Entrance was in order of queue, and every entrance ticket came with strict anti-counterfeiting measures. Even so, some people still attempted to forge their way in, but each of them was caught and dealt with immediate detention and hefty fines.

Even some powerful beings tried to exploit their race’s inborn gifts to slip inside. But soon, they found that in front of the Ancestral Court Imperial Guards, there was no chance for fluke. The entrance was monitored by several rank 11 strong individuals, with divine consciousness scans cast upon every bidder. Without a genuine ticket, there was absolutely no chance of stealing in.

To accommodate more people, the Ancestral Court auction venue was fitted with temporary seats even in the aisles, and where gaps between existing seats permitted, more were installed. Each bidder had only a small space to themselves. So much so that it was difficult for some of the larger-sized races to sit down.

If it were before, one could just buy a few extra tickets, but now, with tickets so hard to come by, this was indeed a challenge. Some even had to resort to using their bloodline power to reduce their size. One can imagine, during the three-day auction event, the vast majority of bidders would definitely not be comfortable. Even wishing that no large-sized races would sit next to them. It was said that those with massive physique, like the Behemoth giant beast, Mammoth Tribe, Elephant Clan, Rhinoceros Demon Tribe, were required by the Grand Ancestral Auction House to be at least Rank 10 to transform into human form in order to participate in the bidding. Otherwise, they would be required to hold multiple admission tickets.
