"I've seen enough. Get some good rest. Remember to add me on Feixin. I'll be heading to Eastsea City in a few days too. If the timing works out, we can travel together!"

"Okay..." Tang Wulin replied in an extremely weak voice.

However, after painfully forcing out that single word, he could no longer hold up his heavy eyelids. His vision went black, and he instantly fell into a deep coma.

As Gu Chen looked at Tang Wulin, Chaos Qi began to spill from his eyes, while a yellow Spirit Ring rose beneath his feet.

Light of Creation!

The first Spirit Ring of his Double Pupils began to glow. Immediately afterward, a beam of snow-white light that seemed to contain boundless vitality shot from his Double Pupils and struck Tang Wulin's body directly.

After completing this series of actions, Gu Chen paid little attention to the changes in everyone's expressions. He turned around impassively and left the room with steady steps, leaving only a somewhat cold and solitary figure behind for those present.

Seeing Gu Chen leave, Tang Ziran could not help saying, "So it was him."

Mang Tian, standing beside him, asked with some confusion, "What? You know my student?"

Tang Ziran nodded. "Of course. The money Wulin needed to buy his Soul Spirit was generously lent to us by that child."

Mang Tian nodded slightly in understanding, then commented on his student. "Gu Chen is exceptionally talented, and he's upright and kind-hearted. There's absolutely nothing to fault in his character. It's just that his temperament is a little too cold. He always looks stern and rarely smiles."

Tang Ziran said, "That's true. Even though Wulin is his classmate, they aren't particularly close. Lending us the money might have simply been a passing whim, but we still have to thank him. Never mind that for now. I'll take Wulin back to rest first."

After saying that, Tang Ziran left Mang Tian Studio with Tang Wulin.

Eastsea City.

The Sun Moon Federation's second-largest city along the eastern coast. An important city for ports, maritime transportation, and marine resource development.

The city had a permanent population of more than three million. Thanks to its use of marine resources, it was quite wealthy. Even within the Sun Moon Federation, it could be considered a second-tier city.

Eastsea City had a long history, and its appearance still retained an ancient style. Over the past few centuries, the Sun Moon Federation had paid particular attention to preserving old buildings, so this ancient city contained many structures over a thousand years old.

At Eastsea City's Soul Guidance Train Station, a dark-blue Soul Guidance Train slowly entered the station and began to decelerate.

Around Eastsea, nearly all Soul Guidance Trains used blue as their primary color scheme.

The train came to a stop, and its doors opened. People filed out one after another, many carrying large amounts of luggage.

For a time, the station immediately became lively and bustling.

The dense stream of people moved toward the exit.

Tang Wulin subconsciously tightened the straps of the heavy backpack on his shoulders, then followed the surging crowd ahead with slightly nervous steps, slowly making his way toward the exit.

This was the first time in his life that he had entered such a vast city. His heart was filled with indescribable novelty and excitement.

His bright, clear eyes kept darting around as he curiously took in everything around him.

The first thing that caught his eye was the roof of the train station. It had actually been assembled from countless dense metal pipes.

With only a quick glance, Tang Wulin relied on his sharp observation skills and familiarity with metal materials to determine with certainty that these pipes were all common forging metals, most likely manufactured through the simplest and crudest stamping process.

It's fine, no need to be nervous. I have Chen Ge. Whenever I don't know what to do, I just need to find Chen Ge!

Just as Tang Wulin was quietly comforting himself and telling himself not to be too restrained, he suddenly seemed to realize something and sharply turned his head.

One look was enough to shock him—the Gu Chen he affectionately called "Chen Ge" had somehow been left far behind, with no telling how many people separating them!

Tang Wulin was a little dumbfounded. How had this silly goose run so far away in the blink of an eye? (Gu Chen: I didn't move at all. He was the one who kept running farther away.)

He hurriedly quickened his pace and moved toward Gu Chen. Once he finally closed the distance between them, Tang Wulin's attention was immediately drawn to a mysterious little thing in Gu Chen's hand.

It had a strange purple-gold color, glimmering faintly yet eye-catchingly under the light.

Unable to suppress his intense curiosity, Tang Wulin quickly leaned closer and asked in confusion, "Chen Ge, what is that?"

However, the instant his gaze completely focused on the strange object, an inexplicable sense of disgust surged into his heart without warning. It came with such force that even he found the sudden emotion utterly baffling.

Faced with Tang Wulin's question, Gu Chen remained remarkably calm.

Unhurriedly, he tucked the Purple Gold Small Millstone in his hand carefully into his clothes, then answered in an almost indifferent tone, "Nothing special. It's just an ordinary millstone."

After leaving Aolai City, Gu Chen had begun tinkering with the bloodline of the Purple Desolation Heaven-Extinguishing Dragon within him.

This purple-gold little millstone was something he had developed through experimentation, though it was not yet complete and could easily be shattered by others.

If the "weapon" of the Law of Destruction was a millstone, a weapon that did not resemble a weapon at all, then the formless thing displayed by the pure Law of Destruction was fire!

Or perhaps the World-Extinguishing Thunder Tribulation, meant not for training but for pure destruction!

"Roar!" (Oss!)

Although Tang Wulin found Gu Chen's coldness somewhat off-putting, after several years of interaction, understanding, and receiving his help, he no longer disliked it much. Instead, he felt deeply grateful.

Chen Ge seemed extremely aloof because of his personality and Martial Soul, but he was actually very warm-hearted.

He was a good person!

A truly law-abiding citizen!

If Gu Chen knew what Tang Wulin was thinking, he would definitely say—

This kid was so easy to fool. One day, he might sell him off, and Tang Wulin would still help him count the money.

Maybe he should have Tang Wulin give him a round of fatherly love and filial devotion someday!
