Chapter 3834: 3681
Just as the hammer was about to seal the final bid, Xu Sheng quickly entered a one followed by several zeros into the device...
A series of numbers immediately appeared on the room's mirror...
Seeing this, Ruo Ling, who was about to speak, swallowed back her words in shock and exclaimed, "Bidder number eighteen's offer has reached a terrifying ten million! Is there anyone else who can offer a higher price?"
After her words fell, every room remained still, the silence somewhat chilling...
Seeing this, Ruo Ling didn't say anything more, loudly declaring, "Ten million once, ten million twice, ten million three times, sold!"
"Congratulations to the eighteenth bidder on acquiring this precious Two-Word Top-Tier Armor; with it, your path as a Soul Master will surge forward like a tiger with wings!!"
At this moment, standing next to Xu Sheng and staring intently at the Two-Word Top-Tier Armor, while breathing heavily, Tang Wulin and the others took a deep breath...
Zhang Yangzi worriedly said, "A piece of Two-Word Top-Tier Armor cost a full ten million, tsk tsk tsk, our academy isn't really going to go bankrupt because of us, right?"
Xu Xiaoyan covered her mouth and chuckled lightly, "Don't worry, even if you go bankrupt, our Shrek Academy won't be in financial trouble; our true financial strength is not as simple as you think!"
Even the family she belonged to could easily take out ten million federation coins, let alone such a massive entity like Shrek Academy!
If the academy relied solely on registration fees to maintain its operations, it would have closed down long ago!
Xie Xie wiped the tears from the corner of his eyes, resentfully saying, "If we had that ten million, it would probably be enough for a lifetime of living expenses!"
Tang Wulin also sighed, "To think that we still need to sweep the floors of the academy to get a little charity, the difference is truly like heaven and earth!"
Gu Yue raised her Beautiful Eyes and said softly, "That's why, Wulin, you must hurry and increase your Forging Master level, so our lives can get a little better!"
Tang Wulin retorted, "What do you mean 'our lives'? We're not... cough cough"
He started coughing halfway through, his cheeks instantly turning extremely red...
As if seeing through his thoughts, Xu Sheng smiled and changed the subject, "Once everyone increases their soul power rank, you'll realize that ten million federation coins isn't that much!"
However, Wei Xiaofeng timidly raised his hand and interrupted, "Teacher Xu, may I ask a question?"
Xu Sheng was startled and asked in confusion, "What question?"
Wei Xiaofeng's eyes suddenly focused, seriously asking, "Teacher Xu, you're just an ordinary teacher at Shrek Academy, not even at the level of a department head, so why would the academy reimburse all your expenses?"
This was a full ten million federation coins, definitely not a small sum!
The other students, seeing this, also turned their puzzled and unconvinced gazes towards Xu Sheng...
Indeed, why would Shrek Academy do this, was it to please her?
But who doesn't know that Shrek Academy is very proud, how could they shamelessly try to curry favor with someone!
Especially since the person in question is only a Soul Saint Level Master!
Xu Sheng thought for a moment and explained, "I'm not sure about this situation either, but well, Shrek Academy wanted to appoint me as an Elder of the Sea God Pavilion, but I refused!"
I suppose this "all expenses reimbursed by the academy" must also be one of the privileges of the Elders of the Sea God Pavilion!
Hearing these words that sounded like a brag, Zhang Yangzi widened his eyes in shock, exclaiming, "Hiss... An Elder of the Sea God Pavilion, am I hearing things?"
Xie Xie eagerly said, "Isn't Sea God's Pavilion only open for Hyper Douluo level powerhouses to join? Why would they invite Teacher Xu to be an elder?"
Wang Jinxi looked at them and said, "You don't understand such a simple reason? Obviously, they recognize that Teacher Xu has the talent to advance to the rank of Hyper Douluo, so they're just trying to court her in advance!"
As soon as these words were spoken, everyone immediately understood...
That's right, with Teacher Xu's terrifying talent, stepping into the realm of a Hyper Douluo would be an absolute breeze for her!
So, drawing her into the Sea God's Pavilion ahead of time like this really wasn't a problem!
...
Just then, steady footsteps were heard...
It was Shen Yi, clutching a pile of documents. Her beautiful eyes turned to Xu Sheng, puzzled, "Teacher Xu, are you all preparing to go out?"
Xu Sheng glanced at her and smiled, "Yes! Do you need something from me, Teacher Shen?"
Shen Yi's cheeks flushed with a hint of pink, "No… nothing. I just happened to be passing by!"
Tang Wulin and the others who saw this scene were anything but calm...
Wei Xiaofeng smacked his lips and said, "Hiss... Is Teacher Shen that thirsty? To actually come to the class to find Teacher Xu."
Zhang Yangzi chimed in, "Now if anyone says they're not a couple, I won't believe it. Teacher Shen is so proactive, how can this be fake?"
Xie Xie shook his head, "I didn't believe it at first, but seeing is believing. Hey, our teacher has been conquered by a woman!"
Hearing these words, Shen Yi became a bit flustered, "You... you kids, what nonsense are you talking about? There's nothing between your Teacher Xu and me."
But it seemed she felt her denial was too strong, looking anxiously at the smiling Xu Sheng, she waved her hands and explained, "Teacher Xu, that's not what I meant..."
Just as she clarified, the documents in her hand "whoosh~" fell to the ground...
Xu Sheng saw this and immediately squatted down to pick them up, and as expected, they bumped into each other quite unexpectedly...
Shen Yi, rubbing her forehead in pain, said with a full face of apology, "I'm... I'm sorry, Teacher Xu, I... I didn't mean to do it! Just now..."
What on earth was going on with her today, making a fool of herself in front of Xu Sheng so many times!
She just wanted to find a hole to crawl into!
Xu Sheng pursed her lips and reached out to gently touch her hair, soothingly saying, "It's okay, it's no big deal."
Looking at such an amiable Xu Sheng, Shen Yi was completely stunned...
It was only when Xu Sheng had picked up all the documents and handed them to her that Shen Yi finally came back to her senses...
Helplessly, Xu Sheng had to wave her hand in front of Shen Yi's eyes and softly said, "Teacher Shen? Why are you daydreaming?"
Returning to her senses, Shen Yi quickly stood up, then shook her head, "No... it's nothing, thank you... Teacher Xu, I'll leave you be; you continue chatting with the kids!"
After saying that, she hurriedly left with the documents...
Watching Shen Yi's hasty retreat, Xie Xie remarked, "Tsk tsk tsk... Is this the charm of Teacher Xu? Completely subduing the White-haired Witch!"
Xu Xiaoyan was also surprised, "Teacher Shen is actually blushing, that's so unlike her personality."
Zhang Yangzi said with eyes full of vicissitude, "Beauty is in the eye of the beholder, isn't it normal? Plus, Teacher Shen is a woman after all!"
Gu Yue gave him a cold glance and said unhappily, "Zhang Yangzi, you make it sound so reasonable. Seems like you understand quite a bit."
Zhang Yangzi denied, "No... No, I'm just joking. In this regard, Tang Wulin knows better."
