Douluo Continent: The Seven Treasure Glazed Tile Pagoda? A Soul Beast Pagoda!

The two spoke almost simultaneously. Yan and Xieyue looked at Jiang Bai, their faces filled with surprise, even a hint of disbelief.

Yan's dark red eyes widened as she looked Jiang Bai up and down, as if she wanted to get to know this seemingly ordinary roommate, who was only a little pretty.

"The Seven Treasure Glazed Tile Pagoda?! Is that... the number one support martial soul in the world? The inherited martial soul of the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile School?"

A noticeable ripple appeared in Xie Yue's usually calm eyes as her gaze fell on Jiang Bai, filled with inquiry and doubt.

Their reaction was exactly what Jiang Bai had expected.

The Seven Treasure Glazed Tile Pagoda is so famous that it belongs only to the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile School; this is practically common knowledge in the world of Soul Masters on the continent.

It is highly unusual for someone with the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile Pagoda Martial Soul to appear in the Martial Soul Academy, which is directly under the Martial Soul Hall.

"That's right, it's that Seven Treasures Glazed Tile Pagoda."

Jiang Bai readily admitted it.

"But……"

Yan scratched his red hair, his face full of confusion.

"Isn't the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile Pagoda only possessed by members of the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile School? How come you... are at the Martial Soul Academy?"

His question was straightforward, but not malicious; it was purely driven by curiosity.

Although Xie Yue did not ask a question, his gaze was fixed on Jiang Bai, waiting for his answer.

Jiang Bai had anticipated this question.

Facing his two new roommates, he gave a faint, somewhat complicated smile and explained calmly.

"I don't know either. I only know that I was born in a small village, and my mother passed away last year. It was the Spirit Hall that helped me awaken my spirit and brought me here."

He stated the most basic facts.

Although the two still had doubts, they didn't press the matter further.

The surprise in Yan's eyes gradually faded, and he nodded vigorously, saying in a carefree manner.

"It's alright, from now on at the academy we'll be friends! My Flame Lord has very strong attack power, so I'll protect you if you ever need to fight!"

What a silly goose...

Xie Yue withdrew her probing gaze and softly hummed in agreement.

He has a naturally aloof personality and doesn't pry into other people's private affairs.

After a brief exchange about martial spirits, the dormitory fell into a subtle silence once again.

Yan was clearly not comfortable with this silent atmosphere.

He glanced at the sky outside the window and immediately found a new topic to talk about.

"Hey, I bet you guys haven't gone to get your uniforms yet, have you?"

Yan patted his own coat and pointed to Jiang Bai's faded coarse cloth clothes.

"Judging by the sky, it's almost lunchtime. How about we go to the logistics office first to pick up our college uniforms, and then go to the cafeteria together? I've heard the food at the college is pretty good!"

Jiang Bai hadn't gone to collect his uniform and supplies yet. He glanced out the window, estimated the time, nodded, and simply replied, "That's fine too."

Xie Yue then raised his head, his voice still calm: "I won't go yet, I'm waiting for my sister."

Yan shrugged and readily said, "Alright! We'll head over now, see you at the cafeteria later!"

Then he waved enthusiastically to Jiang Bai.

"Come on, Jiang Bai, I know where the logistics department is! I saw it when I came in!"

Jiang Bai got up, and the two left the dormitory together.

The logistics department is located in a separate red brick building behind the administration building.

With his student ID card, Jiang Bai successfully received two sets of gray college uniforms and a thin "College Rules and Life Guide".

The academy uniform is made of soft material and has a good fit. A small emblem of the Spirit Hall and the words "Spirit Academy" are embroidered on the left chest.

After collecting their items, the two headed straight for the cafeteria.

The canteen is a spacious and bright hall with neatly arranged tables and chairs. At this moment, there are already many students eating, mostly older students, and a few freshmen like them who have just registered.

The aroma of food mingled with the whispers of the crowd, creating a lively yet orderly atmosphere.

The food, while not luxurious, was certainly plentiful and delicious.

The main dishes include white rice and multigrain steamed buns, while there are several seasonal stir-fried vegetables. For meat dishes, there are stewed meat, grilled fish, fried eggs, and other options. There is also a large pot of steaming soup and unlimited fruit.

"this……"

When Jiang Bai held the plate and looked at the generous portion of stewed meat, a dish of stir-fried vegetables, a bowl of fresh soup, and an extra apple, his eyes were filled with disbelief.

Tuition is free, accommodation is free, and now even meals are free?

Isn't this treatment a bit too good?

We've come to the right place!

Your Holiness the Pope, be loyal!

Jiang Bai muttered a half-joking remark to himself, then found a relatively quiet corner to sit down and eagerly picked up his chopsticks.

The stewed meat is tender and flavorful, the vegetables are fresh and crisp, and the soup is delicious and warming.

For Jiang Bai, who had been eating simple meals for six years, this was a delicacy.

He focused intently on cooking, and ate with particular relish.

He had only taken a few bites when he felt Yan, who was sitting opposite him, gently nudge him twice with his elbow.

Jiang Bai raised his head, still chewing his food, and looked at Yan with a puzzled expression.

Yan didn't speak, but raised his thick eyebrows and gestured for Jiang Bai to look at the other side of the cafeteria.

Jiang Bai followed his gaze.

Xie Yue had arrived at the cafeteria at some point and was sitting at a table not far away.

Across from him sat a girl of similar age to them.

The girl had smooth, short, golden-brown hair that shimmered faintly under the bright lights of the cafeteria.

She was wearing the same gray college uniform that Jiang Bai and the others had just received.

At this moment, she was facing away from Jiang Bai, so all that could be seen was her straight back and a small part of the curve of her profile. She had fair skin and a delicate nose.

Xie Yue seemed to be whispering something to the girl.

Yan chuckled softly twice, leaned forward, lowered his voice, and spoke to Jiang Bai with the excitement of sharing a secret.

"Hey, do you know what that is? That's Xie Yue's younger sister, Hu Liena!"

Upon hearing this, Jiang Bai glanced at the girl's back again and understood.

"I don't know him."

Jiang Bai withdrew his gaze, his tone indifferent, and continued to focus on the stewed meat on the plate.

For him, filling his stomach was far more important than looking at beautiful women at that moment.

Moreover, having been familiar with the original plot, he didn't have any particular feelings about the character Hu Liena, let alone any thoughts about her at the moment.

"Oh, you!"

Yan became anxious when he saw that Jiang Bai's reaction was so indifferent.

"Let me tell you, Nana is so pretty! She's the prettiest girl in our grade, no, probably the entire junior division!"

"oh."

Jiang Bai took a sip of soup and gave a perfunctory reply.

Yan seemed a little frustrated by Jiang Bai's unyielding attitude, but then, as if he had thought of something, he suddenly leaned closer, lowered his voice, and put on a serious expression that was half declaration and half warning.

"Sigh, let me tell you, I've already decided that I'm going to pursue Nana from now on! You... if you ever see Nana's face, you can't compete with me for her looks!"
