Continuing the Tour of the Exhibition Area

"Okay, I'm fine. Shall we go and see something else first? Is there anything anyone wants to see?" Tang Wu Lin asked.

Afterwards, the group didn't have any specific destination in mind, so they decided to go to the nearest place, which was the main building. This area mainly displayed specimens of various rare Soul Beasts, as well as artifacts documenting the development history of Eastsea City and items from different eras.

Upon entering the venue, everyone sighed in amazement. Tang Wu Lin and Xie Xie were naturally curious, while Hu Meier felt it was a bit of a pity.

Wu Yang Jin had a strange feeling. He didn't know why, but he didn't feel happy. He wasn't angry, but he was somewhat moved. On the other hand, Gu Yue's eyes flashed with cold indifference, as if they were chilling to the bone, and there was also a strange excitement in them.

Wu Yang Jin sensed that look in her eyes, but didn't say anything. She just thought that Gu Yue might be someone who cared about Soul Beasts, since they had talked about it on the train before.

As they spoke, everyone split up and took a look at the exhibition area.

"A specimen, huh? So much time has passed. What would Huo Yuhao's ancestor think if he knew? It seems like the Spirit Pagoda wasn't built for this purpose in the first place," Wu Yang Jin murmured.

Whether from the story or what the Old Long said, at least Huo Yuhao didn't build the Spirit Pagoda for this purpose. Besides, there was someone supporting him from behind, even though he himself didn't want to show off.

"Huh? Yang Jin, what do you mean?" Gu Yue ran over and asked.

"Ah, wasn't the original intention of the Spirit Pagoda to allow humans and Soul Beasts to coexist peacefully? And wasn't it not only Spirit Ice Douluo, but also Aurora Douluo and one of his wives, the most powerful and beautiful Sihan Douluo Long (Wang) Qiu'er, who assisted in its establishment?" Wu Yang Jin said.

"Yes, then?" Gu Yue asked again.

"Sigh, Mingdu with the assistance of Long Qiu'er, a humanoid Soul Beasts, and Aurora Douluo Long Shuang Han, and the peace that followed, many years later, isn't it still because Soul Beasts are captured and killed that they are on the verge of extinction?" Wu Yang Jin said.

"So, what is Yang Jin trying to say?" Gu Yue continued.

"Ah, I've gone off on a tangent. What I really wanted to say was, if Huo Yuhao, Long Shuang Han, and Long Qiu'er saw this, and if anyone else saw it, would they still think this Spirit Pagoda Spirit Pagoda the one they wanted back then? I feel like if I were Aurora Douluo, I might destroy this place and then try to rebuild it," Wu Yang Jin said helplessly.

"Hey? Yang Jin, I didn't expect you to care about Soul Beasts. But aren't you human?" Gu Yue asked.

"Hmm? Gu Yue, aren't you the same? But what I mean is, I don't think it has much to do with whether someone is human or not. It's just that everyone is different. Besides, I think why can't we coexist peacefully? Although it's not a simple thing, I hope we can achieve it," Wu Yang Jin said.

"Hmm, I understand. What you said makes a lot of sense, but it is indeed very difficult," Gu Yue said with a hint of meaning.

"That's right, and I also know that after the great battle, the power displayed by Aurora Douluo was like that of a god, but in the eyes of the Soul Beasts at the time, it was like that of Beast God," Wu Yang Jin added.

"Hey? Yang Jin, you know so much! Can you tell me another story next time?" Gu Yue asked.

"Hmm? Okay, but I don't actually know much about it either," Wu Yang Jin replied.

Afterwards, while at the auction, the group visited other areas, including the Soul Guidance Area, the Forging Area, and the Spiritual Objects Area, and managed to make some gains, so their time wasn't wasted.

Wu Yang Jin thought to himself that he would ask if they needed the Ice Crystal Fruit and Scarlet Flame Fruit later. If they could buy them, there would be no harm in it. After leaving the auction, the three of them returned to the academy for lunch, although there was indeed a reason for this because of the Guang Biao incident.

However, part of the reason was that they were eating out. It wasn't that Xie Xie spending money, but rather that Tang Wu Lin's appetite was still too astonishing. Besides, after becoming friends, Tang Wu Lin felt embarrassed to let Xie Xie pay.

"Mmm, it feels so good after dinner. Time for a good sleep," Wu Yang Jin said, stretching as he walked.

"Yang Jin, we still need to go to the forging workshop this afternoon," Tang Wu Lin said.

"Ah, I forgot. Then let's not sleep. Let's go early," Wu Yang Jin said.

"By the way, I originally wanted to go with Xie Xie and Wulin to collect the information, but now it seems I should let Xie Xie and Meier go instead. They should gather information about Class One, since they are Class One and their strength shouldn't be too weak," Wu Yang Jin said.

"Huh? Why am I not included? I can collect them too," Gu Yue said, somewhat dissatisfied.

"Haha, Gu Yue, think about it. I have money, Hu Meier has fans. Although we are all just kids, she is very charming..." Xie Xie said.

"Oh? Xie Xie, say that again!" Gu Yue instantly used fire and water elements to attack Xie Xie.

"Waaaaah!" Xie Xie cried out.

"Hey, Xie Xie, what a mouth of yours!" Wu Yang Jin and Tang Wu Lin exclaimed.

A short while later, Xie Xie returned after circling around and ran behind Wu Yang Jin and Tang Wu Lin.

"Wait, big brother, can you do me a favor?" Xie Xie said.

"Sigh, you're like this... then Gu Yue, you..." Wu Yang Jin felt that there was no need to say more, Gu Yue would understand.

"Hmph, this is the last time. I'm letting you go for Yang Jin's sake, but if you come again, I'll freeze you into an ice sculpture next time," Gu Yue said, withdrawing her elemental power.

Afterwards, the group walked for a while longer.

"Phew, Yang Jin and Wulin, you two go ahead. It's just a Class One, right? Collecting information isn't that difficult. But what situation do we need to collect? I think we can just pick anyone and take them down, right?" Xie Xie was almost level 20, said.

Although having a love rival isn't a good thing, honestly, looking at this lineup of five—top Tang Wu Lin, jungler Xie Xie, mid laner Hu Meier, then the marksman Wu Yang Jin who can switch between warrior, mage, and AD—and support Gu Yue —how could they possibly lose?

"Oh, looks like it's time. You think you can just pick anyone to beat our Class One? Aren't you afraid of biting off more than you can chew?"

Just then, a male student's voice rang out.

"Aren't they just five small fry from Class Five? They're getting cocky just because they can beat some trash? You're really no good, hahaha!" the male student said again.

Several people turned around at the same time and saw a person who looked to be about the same age as them standing not far away, talking to a group of people standing next to him.

As for the one who just spoke, he was a young man with a middle parting. He was quite handsome, but his lips were rather thin, and coupled with his harsh words, it made him even harder to like. (The appearance can't be changed here, so this is the best I can do.)
