"You are quite generous today, Young Miss," The manager in the red formal dress commented after Tang Shaoyang left.

Cladeos Emporium was the famed store, known universally with thousands of branches in over a hundred worlds. Elonia was the daughter of Cladeos Emporium's council member. Her father told her to chere to gain experience.

It was just formality, a show for the upper echelons of the emporium, so she could get positioned higher in the emporium later on.

Elonia's father was one of the fifteen members of the Cladeos Council. The council was the one in charge of the famed emporium. That was the reason why it could grow so big and had many branches all over the world. Each figure in the council was a figure with a big influence in many worlds.

"Am I? I am just following my father's advice, and making connections. I have a gut feeling that the guy is extraordinarily stronger than most participants. There's nothing to lose foreven if he dies or fails to reach the height I expected," Elonia smiled, but then she squinted her eyes.

"Can't you sense it, Rene? The dragon aura from him?" Elonia plucked the leftover Orien from the table and turned toward the manager while throwing the Orien into her mouth.

"I can sense his dragon aura, but what is so special about him to make you favor him? I don't think he is the only one with a dragon aura," The female in the red formal dress furrowed her brow.

She could feel the dragon aura, the uniqueness that someone had with a dragon bloodline. But Tang Shaoyang was not the only one with a dragon aura. She met two others who shopped on the second floor with a dragon aura, even others with unique auras. It did not make Tang Shaoyang special in her eyes.

"You are still young," Elonia shook her index finger, shaking her head as if she was an oldie with experience. That caused Rene to roll her eyes. In terms of experience, Rene had met a lot of people. Sure someone with a dragon aura must be strong, but there were a lot of people that were stronger than just people with a dragon bloodline.

Elonia pointed her finger above, and Rene followed. The dragon carving on the ceiling. She did not understand what her young miss tried to say at first. But she quickly caught on to what her young miss tried to say.

"Are you saying he is someone with that cursed dragon bloodline?"

"I can smell the difference within his dragon aura. It's not just any normal dragon. Speople in other worlds call it a cursed dragon, swords call it Calamity Dragon, and the people who worship dragon call it Progenitor or The Origin of Dragon," Elonia shrugged, "No one knows the truth, but we all know that dragon is strong. Strong enough to be compared to the Dragon Guardian and Dragon King on the Dragon Realm."

Rene furrowed her brow. Not that she doubted it, but in fact, she believed what her young miss said. In that regard, her young miss was more knowledgeable than her.

"Don't think too much about it, Rene. No matter how strong his bloodline is, it will be useless if he cannot use it well. As said, I am just making a connection. We don't lose anything even if he fails to reach our expectations."

Elonia waved her hand as she threw another Orien into her mouth. She squinted her eyes and muttered, "But I think Calderon also senses the sthing. That's why he gave the token. Or else, he would not hand the token easily."

Ten items for a reserve order was quite a lot, but even with ten items. It still took Tang Shaoyang a long tto decide the ten items he wanted. That was because of how many items Cladeos had. There were more than two hundred items for mage, including the staff, the robe, and the accessory. Of course, most of them were dominated by Ancient Grade and Myth Grade items.

There were only six Legend Grade items and twenty-four Primordial Grade items in there. Even the Myth Grade item was a big upgrade for the people in the Tang Empire. The best thing they could get was a Grade A item. That was the best grade with their current research and the dwarves' current ability.

He ended up reserving three robes and seven accessories. The reason he did not prioritize the staff despite how good the staff was, was because Selena, Arina, Jasmine, and Liang Suyin did not use staff. If there was an extra, he might buy that stuff later. The priority was the accessory. The bonus was significant considering how small the item was.

After staying for almost two hours, he left the crowded store. He wanted to do a quick stroll to familiarize himself with the city. But he ended up spending more than half a billion GC on the first day. Tang Shaoyang put aside the thought of shopping today. He went out to check if the city had a training ground or not to test out his new skills. There was no training ground, but there was a place called Arena.

It was not the sas a training ground, but it was a place for them to fight. It did not really matter to Tang Shaoyang as long as he had a place to test his new skill.

When he heard about Arena, he thought it was just another nfor a training ground. However, it was an actual arena dome. There were ten small darenas and one arena the size of a football (soccer) stadium.

There were fewer people in the Arena district compared to the other districts. Most of the people in this district gathered in the first and second arena.

Tang Shaoyang cto test his skill, so he chose the third arena that looked like an empty arena from the outside. When he entered the arena, he was surprised to find someone was fighting in the arena. Two men fought with a wooden staff.

It was an arena in the middle with seats surrounding the arena with a short wall with a barrier separating them. Around twenty people were watching the fight.
