Hearing this, Qian Renxue glanced lightly at Lu Feng.
This person may be shameless, but putting that aside, Lu Feng's taste is quite good.
The Poison Douluo's granddaughter.
A young miss from the Star Luo Zhu Family.
It was only because Qian Renxue didn't know Zhu Zhuqing's true identity. Otherwise, she certainly wouldn't be as calm as she was now.
At this time, the auction for the cat girl had concluded.
Ning Fengzhi had spent two hundred and fifty thousand Gold Soul Coins, outbidding the other Heaven Dou nobles, and successfully won ownership of the cat girl.
It was believed that this 'scandalous affair' would soon spread throughout the entire noble circle.
Lu Feng walked to the window, his gaze directed at the auction seats.
At this moment, an old man in the red section stood up and was pointing at Ning Fengzhi, saying something.
He was somewhat obese, his hair slightly gray. Judging from his flushed face, his emotions were clearly agitated.
Very quickly, the people next to the old man supported his arms, patting his back to help him calm down.
The old man returned to his seat, cursing and muttering.
This was just a small interlude. The auction continued.
At this, Qian Renxue walked to Lu Feng's side and said coldly, "That is the current emperor's younger brother, my biological uncle, Prince Xue Xing."
Lu Feng was momentarily stunned, then said casually, "Mm, His Highness the Prince is still vigorous in his old age. Truly a role model for our generation."
"Huu~"
Qian Renxue slowly exhaled. After spending time with Lu Feng, she found he was truly a thoughtless person.
His sudden remarks really make one's chest ache.
Qian Renxue leaned her hands on the railing and said coldly, "Lu Feng, what do you think of the Heaven Dou Empire as it is now?"
"The Heaven Dou Empire is powerful, and the people's standard of living is decent. With its army of millions, I'm afraid even a Titled Douluo would perish if trapped within it," Lu Feng said indifferently, his arms crossed.
He had once spoken with Dugu Bo and learned some secrets.
The two great empires had a type of military formation that could condense killing intent and disrupt the spiritual energy of heaven and earth.
Even if a Titled Douluo was trapped in such a formation, and even if they could kill ten thousand, or one hundred thousand soldiers, if they couldn't break the formation, they would still die from soul power exhaustion.
Of course, that old fellow Dugu Bo had said this with great arrogance.
And he had boasted to Lu Feng that, let alone the Heaven Dou Empire's million-strong army, even if it were two or three times larger, it wouldn't be enough for him to kill.
"Heh, powerful?" Qian Renxue sneered disdainfully.
"Do you know how much darkness is hidden behind this seemingly prosperous facade?"
"The major officials are corrupt, bending the law for profit; the nobles rape, pillage, and act with impunity. If not for the backing of the million-strong army, someone would have revolted long ago."
As the Crown Prince, Qian Renxue was very clear about the empire's situation.
One word: Rotten!
Rotten to the core!
Qian Renxue grew up in Spirit Hall.
At the age of nine, she infiltrated the Heaven Dou Empire and had been there for over a decade.
Originally, she was simply carrying out a mission to help Spirit Hall unify the continent.
However, over the past ten years, Qian Renxue had witnessed too much of the nobles' filth.
Officials and nobles sang and partied daily, living in a drunken stupor, while the common people wailed and struggled bitterly, some even starving to death.
After she became the Crown Prince, a grand ambition began to grow in her heart.
This continent needed a leader.
And when she met Lu Feng six years ago, from the mouth of that seven-year-old child, she finally knew what she had to do.
It wasn't about becoming an emperor, unifying the continent, or establishing a Spirit Empire.
It was about letting the Angel God's radiance illuminate every corner of this continent!
Looking at Qian Renxue's impassioned appearance, Lu Feng couldn't help but mutter under his breath, "Is there a possibility, Your Highness... that you are the biggest noble of them all?"
"Clang!"
A loud noise echoed in the spacious VIP room. The spot on the railing where Qian Renxue's right hand was resting was now clearly dented.
Seeing this, Lu Feng quickly wiped the smile off his face and shrugged, feigning innocence.
"Your Highness is ambitious and brilliant. You will surely achieve your wish one day. Let Heaven Dou's glory illuminate every corner of the continent," Lu Feng said righteously.
Qian Renxue shot him a glare, her chest still heaving slightly from anger.
"Lu Feng, what is your life's pursuit? Have you ever thought about what you want to do in the future?" Qian Renxue turned her face, looking at Lu Feng seriously.
Hearing this, Lu Feng was momentarily stunned.
When I first crossed into the Douluo Continent, what was the first thing I wanted to do?
Lu Feng lowered his head, his mind lost in memories.
It was a desolate forest. I was a small, naked baby, lying in the forest.
I tried my best to shout, but what came out was only crying. And the response I got was the howl of a wolf.
At that moment, I was even prepared to cross over again. My only prayer was that the wolf wouldn't start eating me from the feet up.
After a long time, Lu Feng couldn't help but smile. "According to legend, Titled Douluo is not the end point of a Soul Master's cultivation. Beyond level ninety-nine, there is another realm, called 'level one hundred, becoming a God'."
"Ever since my Martial Soul awakened, I set a small goal for myself: first, become a god."
After Lu Feng finished speaking, he turned to look at Qian Renxue. The Crown Prince, who had just been speaking so passionately, was now staring at him blankly.
"Ahem." Lu Feng coughed lightly and said, "Brother Qinghe, my auction item is up. Weren't you curious about it just now?"
"Ah? Oh..." Qian Renxue immediately snapped back to reality.
At the same time, tumultuous waves were crashing in her heart.
Level one hundred, becoming a God? What arrogance.
Grandfather said that ever since the Angel God ascended ten thousand years ago, there are only two known god inheritance grounds on the continent.
One is in Spirit Hall, and the other is on Sea God Island.
Qian Renxue turned her head, looking at Lu Feng's profile, her eyes flickering. Under fourteen years old, a Soul Ancestor's cultivation. This level of talent... he might actually have a chance at hitting level one hundred.
On the stage, the host was making the introduction. "This weapon, although only made of refined iron, has been hailed by Grandmaster Wa Li as the most formidable weapon on the continent."
"The starting price is ten thousand Gold Soul Coins, with each increment no less than five thousand Gold Soul Coins."
As his voice fell, a clamor immediately rose from below.
Grandmaster Wa Li was a big name in the auction house. He was the junior brother of the Divine Craftsman Lou Gao, and also a Soul Saint-level expert.
"Heh, interesting. To receive such an evaluation from Grandmaster Wa Li, it seems I, Ning, will have to spend a lot today," Ning Fengzhi smiled calmly.
On stage, the host picked up the crossbow from the tray. "According to the seller, this weapon is called the Zhuge Repeating Crossbow. It contains thirty-six steel needles. It can fire three needles at a time, for a total of twelve shots."
As he spoke, the host aimed at a steel plate on the opposite side and pulled the trigger.
At this moment, everyone stared intently at the stage. The host was a full fifty meters away from the steel plate. At this distance, the power of a normal Soul Grandmaster's ranged soul skill would be greatly reduced.
"Xiu!"
A sound of tearing air rang out.
Everyone focused their eyes and saw three steel needles neatly embedded in the steel plate, their vibrating tails letting out a "weng weng" sound.
The host opened the crossbow's black box, walked over to the steel plate, and compared the needles in the box to the ones in the plate.
The three steel needles had penetrated the steel plate by more than 6.6 centimeters.
The hall fell into a strange silence. The next moment, one bid after another rang out.
"Ten thousand Gold Soul Coins!"
"Twenty thousand Gold Soul Coins!"
"Fifty thousand Gold Soul Coins!"
The VIPs looked as if they had seen a naked beauty, their eyes shining.
No, in everyone's eyes, this crossbow was far more attractive than a beautiful woman.
Everyone present was worldly and knowledgeable. The power of this crossbow was definitely no less than an ordinary Soul Elder's third soul skill.
Most importantly, it was only made of refined iron.
If they bought it, took it home, and studied its construction thoroughly, wouldn't they be able to possess a large batch of Soul Elder-level combat power at any time?
Seeing this, Qian Renxue's expression changed. "Lu Feng, where did you get this weapon? Do you have the manufacturing method?"
As she spoke, she directly pressed a red button.
"One... One hundred thousand Gold Soul Coins!"
The host looked at an attendant below raising a placard, his voice trembling slightly.
Some special VIPs who did not wish to show their faces would choose the private boxes on the second floor. And the qualification for each box required assets of over ten million Gold Soul Coins.
"Two hundred thousand Gold Soul Coins!"
Ning Fengzhi raised the number paddle in his hand, glancing upstairs without a trace.
With his status, it wasn't that he couldn't choose a private box; he just preferred the lively atmosphere of the main floor.
"Damn it! Are you crazy?" Lu Feng saw Qian Renxue preparing to raise the bid again, rushed to her side, and subconsciously grabbed her hand.
Qian Renxue's hand was very soft. Lu Feng felt a delicate smoothness, as if he were holding a handful of warm, soft snow, yet it carried a warmth that was uniquely hers.
However, this was no time for amorous thoughts.
"Don't mess this up for me! I'm using that weapon to hook a big fish!" Lu Feng said loudly.
Qian Renxue was slightly stunned, raising her eyes to look at Lu Feng. "Hook a big fish?"
She quickly pulled her hand back and said coldly, "Is there a problem with that crossbow? Are you trying to scheme against my teacher?"
Lu Feng smiled slightly, turned around, and looked out the window. By now, the Zhuge Repeating Crossbow had been successfully won by Ning Fengzhi for the price of two hundred thousand Gold Soul Coins.
"There's nothing wrong with the crossbow itself. It's just that I have even more powerful weapons. After Clan Master Ning buys it and takes it back, he will definitely investigate the seller's whereabouts. That way, I can make another big profit."
"Hmph! You're always playing these little tricks. Aren't you afraid my teacher will come looking for trouble?" Qian Renxue turned around, looked at Lu Feng, a trace of mockery in her eyes.
"With Clan Master Ning's magnanimity, how could he lower himself to my level? He'll just smash me with money," Lu Feng chuckled.
Qian Renxue chuckled lightly and said, "What about those other weapons of yours? Give me a few to play with."
"Brother Qinghe, our friendship is strong, but business is business. As they say, even brothers must keep clear accounts. Since Clan Master Ning was willing to pay two hundred thousand for my crossbow, I'll give you a fifty-percent discount and sell it to you for one hundred thousand Gold Coins. That's not too much, is it?"
Qian Renxue crossed her arms, a faint smile on her lips. "Do you think my teacher is so simple, for you to manipulate? When the two Titled Douluo make a move, is there anything they can't get?"
"Brother Lu, when that time comes, I'm afraid I won't even be able to intercede for you in time," Qian Renxue said mockingly.
"Hmph! Brother Qinghe, I've seen right through you. You evil head of the nobility."
As he spoke, Lu Feng took a Zhuge Repeating Crossbow from his Soul Tool and placed it on the table.
Seeing this, Qian Renxtue tilted her head up, squinting at Lu Feng. The corners of her mouth turned up slightly, looking like a proud peacock.
"Knock, knock, knock."
Just then, a knock sounded at the door.
The door opened, and a middle-aged man walked straight in from outside.
When Lu Feng saw the visitor, he was momentarily stunned. It was Ning Fengzhi.
