Chapter 47: Auction?
--- Chapter 47 ---
Huo Yuhao rested his head on the cloud and told Evo to open his status panel through their Soul Link. And a digital screen filled with remarks and digits appeared before his blue eyes.

Huo Yuhao grinned when staring at his Status Panel because he had been improving so much compared to his former self six years ago. He obviously became stronger, to the point no Dragon Nest member could outpower him besides some individuals and gain enough influence over the current world.
"I've gone through a lot."
[Ancient Human]
[Ancient Humans are the upgraded race of High Human, having superior adaptability with more significant potential in all field possible because their origin come from the Primordial Era]
[Divine Dragon]
[Divine Dragons are True Dragons that gained distinguished "Divinity." after going through constant tempering of their Draconic Nature, Chaotic Purgatory Dragon or Naga's origin blood has upgraded to reach this state, causing the inheritor of Naga's bloodline to comprehend the Law of Fire, Thunder, and Destruction]
[War Beast]
[War Beasts are creatures born when individuals mix Origin Race with several other Beast Races and absorb all beastly characteristics. They possessed better senses overall and physical prowess to defy the Law of Nature]
Huo Yuhao currently possessed two origin orbs near his chest, and they were Divine Dragon and War Beast's origin cores. Since Ancient Human was his primary race, he could utilize these two sub-races abilities without any problem. He even has three unique forms when using Divine Dragon and War Beast.
"I haven't used that mode in a while. The last time someone forced me to use it, I ended up destroying the small continent on the east, haha."
Huang Yuna frowned to the side and commented, "That's not something you should be proud of, Yuhao. You know well that continent could be a good place to place Dragon Nest's branch base."
"Eh? But fighting is fun. It's not like the Small Continent has enough resources to stand on its own." Huo Yuhao responded with a chuckle.
The Auspicious Monarch was left speechless and sighed in annoyance, "I wonder why humans are so battle-hungry. I swore on my mother's name that no one in this world could be comparable to you and Scathach. And your mother is out of the question because she wasn't exactly human anymore."
Huo Yuhao chuckled more and leaned on the stuffy clouds like they were his pillows. "Well, we can create another continent with enough preparation." He replied casually.
"Wait, when did I become part of this plan?" A tick mark appeared on Huang Yuna's beautiful face.
Huo Yuhao gave her a smug look and answered, "Hehe, since you entered this little organization of mine, let's do our best Spirit Beast's Division Captain, Yuna~."
"How shameless..." Huang Yuna couldn't help but narrow her white eyes at this young man. She observed his features and noticed he had become taller again today.
Huo Yuhao has become quite a handsome young man in the past three years. His overall height is 189 centimeters, having a solid yet slender stature that contains immense power from those refined muscles under his clothes. And his short blue hair fluttered gently because of the breeze, giving off this calming experience for those who looked at him.
However, the most impressive part of this young man's features was his azure eyes. After upgrading his race, Huo Yuhao's blue eyes become even more exquisite, like the sky with this goldish tint in the pupil.
And this distinct feature gives Huo Yuhao another glorious nickname within the Dragon Nest's community, Blue-Eyed Dragon King.
...
...
"Well, let's go down." Huo Yuhao stretched his body a little and watched over the Advalon's scenery. The Self-Evolving Dungeon has been evolving significantly after three years, providing his organization with an absolute advantage against every faction on the Douluo Continent. He also planned to ally with the Spirit Beast on the Star Dou Forest and the Extreme North.
"Sure, give me some cookies when we are back home." Huang Yuna nodded and jumped off the clouds, making Scathach tilt her head below them.
Scathach shrugged and squinted at the green flash that landed beside her. "You've watched long enough there. What do you think about them, Yuna?" She asked naturally.
Huang Yuna glanced at the White Room Students and smiled because they were abnormal from her viewpoint and Dragon Nest's standard. However, that's not enough for people like Scathach because this supposed warrior queen only wanted Monster.
"They aren't bad." The Auspicious Monarch replied naturally with a smile. "Need some improvement here and there, but overall more monster-like than any students from the Douluo Continent. And they are still young, so having a better foundation at an early stage is great."
"Still, you can't measure them with this guy."
Huo Yuhao landed on the ground several hundred meters away from the sky and brushed some dust off his tracksuit. He noticed everyone's baffled expressions and cluelessly reacted with a casual greeting.
"Uh, morning?"
"Why is everyone staring at me like that?" He asked, to which Qianye Ying'er responded with a giggle.
"Oh my god, is that THE YOUNG LORD!" Lola shouted like a good fangirl. "He JUMPED from the sky."
Kaela sighed because of her younger sister's hyperactive nature and added, "It's a cloud... Around 1.9 km off the ground, the young lord was fine without getting any injuries when landing there. And He killed off the impact perfectly, so none of us suddenly were swept over by the dust."
"Nice calculation..." Akira silently whispered while breathing dirt because Scathach broke all his bones. And Qianye Ying'er healing takes quite a while to recover all of them.
Huo Yuhao shook his head and grabbed some potion from his inventory. He used the wormholes to give them one each and said, "Here, drink this. Shishou's training is hard, after all."
They received a glass of potion near them. It was a recovery Potion with pinkish liquid inside it, having potent medicine to heal one's injuries instantly. Only a few people could create this Recovery Potion in the Dragon Nest.
"Thank you, young master!" Chen Fan drank the potion without hesitation, showing his trust in Huo Yuhao's goodwill. His eyes widened in surprise. "Delicious!"
"It's strawberry flavored."
Hearing that, Shen Xi sipped the potion and felt the sweetness from the pink liquid. She was dumbfounded because the effect worked instantly, and like what Chen Fan said, It was delicious. While another Alchemist "thoroughly." was focused on creating good products, Huo Yuhao was somehow able to add flavor to such a creation without wasting the medicinal property.
"How is this even possible?" Like a fascinated scientist, Shen Xi pondered and watched the potion closely.
Huo Yuhao couldn't help but be amused by Shen Xi's reaction to his creation because she was the only White Room Student with great talent in the Alchemist Field. As the other began to drink the potion, he wrote a note and teleported above Shen Xi's head.
"Hmm?" Shen Xi watched a piece of the white paper slowly glide before her eyes. She opened her palm and stared at the content, moving her gaze to Huo Yuhao.
She blushed hard because Huo Yuhao noticed her fascination with a potion and thankfully continued, "Thank you, young master."
"It's not a big deal. Who likes bland potions anyway." Huo Yuhao replied, to which Shen Xi responded with a giggle and nod of understanding. Medicine does not always have to be bitter and hard to consume.
"Yuhao, how is Advalon so far?" Scathach suddenly asked. "If I'm not wrong, the wave would be started soon, right?"
The wave is Advalon's advancement procedure where all Spirit Beasts within the area would become aggressive and attack everything. It was necessary to progress because when every living being in the dungeon thoroughly was killed, Advalon would absorb the energy and evolve even more.
Advalon has gone through two waves, with each one happening annually. It needed to have every title douluo in the Dragon Nest participate in this event because they would gain immense experience-like energy to reach the next level.
"After the auction on the Douluo Continent was over roughly in 3-4 weeks, Advalon would go through its third wave." Huo Yuhao answered calmly. "We'll have some time to prepare ourselves."
"Uh, can we join? I heard Ying'er joined the last wave." Lin Yan raised his hand excitedly. He wanted to see the spirit beast above 200.000 years old because this red-leveled domain has two with 100.000 years old phases each.
"Sorry to disappoint you, but your presence wouldn't be any help, Yan." Huo Yuhao gave the young man a sad look. Lin Yan was a high-spirited individual, but the wave possessed more danger than one could handle. Qianye Ying'er was on the second wave of Advalon because Battle Flag could buff Title Douluo regardless of her cultivation realm.
"Oh..." Lin Yan looked down, gaining a sigh from everyone.
Akira patted his buddy on the back and said, "You only have to become stronger, bro. We are the White Room's students, so believe in our potential and Dragon Nest because we will eventually reach that level."
The White Student smiled when hearing Akira'a morale-boosting words. This man understood how to soothe situations pleasingly, despite having an anger problem when Lola used him in her plan earlier.
"The optimistic maniac is reliable, huh," Lola commented while leaning on Keala's back. "Sister, are you going to meet Teacher Chen again? I know that blacksmithing is ingrained in your blood."
Kaela drank the potion and replied, "Yeah, I have a training session with Teacher Chen at 10 am."
Qianye Ying'er gently clapped her hands and gained everyone's attention on a whim. She picked a small device that looked like a typical iron baton. "I received a call from Giana. Some people from the Sun and Moon Empire and Shrek Academy have reached Java Island." She informed them while pressing a button, creating a holographic screen in the air.
"Yuhao, they seemed to have accepted our invitation to the meeting and auction."
Huo Yuhao frowned because he recognized some people on the screen. He pondered about something and told White Room's students to get some rest.
"Oh yeah, return to your dorm and get spiritual recovery pills from the Medicine Hall. Put them on my tab." He casually said while sending six youngsters.
White Room Student was stunned for a few seconds because Spiritual Recovery Pills are expensive, even with their privilege. And to give such things freely, Huo Yuhao was so kind to them.
"Thank you, young lord/young master!!!" They said while bowing their heads at him.
"You're welcome." Huo Yuhao returned, watching six youngsters disappear from the Advalon.
...
...
Huo Yuhao used the Dungeon Door to Trisakti and saw two familiar figures waiting for him. He stepped out of the seemingly white portal with Huang Yuna, Scathach, and Qianye Yinger.
"How is the situation?" He questioned Liu Mei while grabbing a protein bar from his pocket. Ancient Humans needed a lot of energy.
Liu Mei brought out her tablet and replied, "Yes. I've contacted the Auction Hall, and they have escorted the representative to the hotel. Even though they are skeptical because the location was on an abandoned island, they still agree."
"Also, none of them seemed to be aware of our technology."
"Hehe~! Of course, I have covered everything tidily, and It is not like they can realize Spirit Engineering with just poor eyes and mere observation skill." Giana proudly brushed the bridge of her nose.
Huo Yuhao patted Giana's black hair and replied, "Good job, you two."
"Let's wait until the rest of the guests arrive on Java Island. As for the Shrek Academy and Sun and Moon Empire's representatives, Give them some refreshment for a few days first."
"Noted." Liu Mei clicked a few things on her tablet. "Um, young lord. Madam is searching for you right now."
"You missed breakfast, she says."
Oh, Shit-!" Huo Yuhao dropped his protein bar. He felt a spiritual presence from afar and turned around, only to see Huo Yun'er with a warm motherly smile on her face.
"Hao'er... You promised never to miss breakfast when I was on the base. Where are you this morning~?" She hugged him from behind slowly, having her hand intertwined on his chest.
Huo Yuhao let out a defeated sigh and replied, "It's my fault. I forgot, mom."
"No excuse?" Huo Yun'er slowly rested her head on Huo Yuhao's shoulder.
"No." He returned immediately.
She locked Huo Yuhao's hand and continued, "Good. Now, let's return home and eat some freshly cooked breakfast."
They watched Huo Yuhao dragged by Huo Yun'er to Naga's Den and were left speechless. Qianye Ying'er, Scathach, and Huang Yuna stared at each other and smiled because that woman's son complex was endearing. It might be because they lived around her long enough to become comfortable with it.
"What is today's breakfast, by the way?" Huang Yuna stared at Qianye Ying'er curiously.
"Bread. Toast, to be exact." Scathach answered because she peeked into the kitchen before going to Advalon. And Huang Yuna's eyes shone like twinkling stars when hearing this.
"UWOOOOH! BREAAADDDD!!" The Auspicious Monarch disappeared from their field vision. Scathach and Qianye Ying'er smirked because Huang Yuna had a few weaknesses, and one of them was freshly-baked bread.
Giana face-palmed and commented, "Ah yes, The Bread Enthusiast, Huang Yuna."
