Legend of the Dragon King: I really didn't mean to provoke them!

Eat, attend classes, and then fight against Class Two.

The composition of Class Two was also average, with two agile attackers and one strong attacker, who were directly rubbed into the ground by Xie Xie.

The day before the final, the college was unusually generous and gave everyone a full day off.

The next morning, Xie Xie and Tang Wulin had just arrived at the school gate when Gu Yue blocked their way.

"What are you planning to do?" Gu Yue asked, hands on her hips, exuding an air of authority.

Xie Xie answered honestly, "To the auction."

Gu Yue's eyes lit up instantly, and she stepped forward, pressing the issue even more firmly: "The auction? I want to go too!"

"...Okay." Xie Xie thought for a moment, then turned around and prepared to slip away. "You go with Tang Wulin, I'm going back to my dorm to cultivate."

He went back to continue working on his Rasengan.

As soon as he finished speaking, Tang Wulin and Gu Yue exchanged a knowing glance, then grabbed Xie Xie's arms on either side and half-dragged him out of the East Sea Academy.

Xie Xie: "...?"

"Oh, no?"

"Why don't you two just go? Why do you have to drag me along...!"

Gu Yue remained silent, only hurling fireballs at his face.

Xie Xie: "..."

"Esteemed guests, this way please~"

The Donghai Museum is located in the southern part of the center of Donghai City. The entire building is full of futuristic technology and soars into the clouds, with no top visible at a glance.

However, Xie Xie did not take the two to the main building, but instead turned into the annex building on the left side of the museum.

Unlike the grand and modern main building, the annex has a more rustic and elegant style.

This is the public viewing area of ​​the auction house, which you can enter and visit directly.

Upon entering, the three saw a huge sign.

The first floor of the auction item display area is divided into two main areas: the Soul Guidance Device area and the Non-Soul Guidance Device area.

Xie Xie led the two directly to the non-soul tool area, following the signs to a rectangular room.

"Didn't you want to see the spirit fruit? Here it is."

"Spiritual fruit? What kind of spiritual fruit do you want?" Gu Yue asked curiously.

Tang Wulin's eyes flickered slightly, and he said softly, "I didn't want it, I was just a little curious, so I came to take a look."

This room is about 300 square meters and is filled with various spiritual fruits and rare plants.

Soon, Xie Xie led the two to the Ice Crystal Fruit and the Crimson Flame Fruit.

The Ice Crystal Fruit is an extreme ice blue color, with a thin layer of ice crystals covering its outer surface. At the center is a lifelike ice snowflake pattern, with six clearly defined ice crystal veins.

A faint mist of ice slowly swirled around the fruit, and even through the thick glass display case, one could feel the biting chill emanating from it.

The Crimson Flame Fruit on the side, however, exuded a completely opposite, fiery aura.

The peel is a blend of warm gold and fiery red, with a hazy, fiery red halo surrounding it.

The surface of the fruit is covered with spiral flame patterns, with the central pattern blooming like a blazing sun, creating a striking yet harmonious contrast with the cool and refreshing appearance of the ice crystal fruit.

Tang Wulin glanced down at the notice board below and couldn't help but frown: "But... this isn't a hundred-year-old one."

"This is an auction! An auction!"

Xie Xie explained, "Those that are over a hundred years old are no longer considered ordinary spiritual fruits; you have to go up to the second floor to see them."

"However, we can't go up to the second floor."

Tang Wulin quickly asked, "Why?"

"You need to pay a deposit. They're not letting you look at it for free." Xie Xie spread his hands. "Going to the second floor requires a deposit of 2 yuan, and it's non-refundable."

The thought that he had worked hard to save money for three months, only to be able to afford the deposit, made Tang Wulin completely depressed.

Xie Xie crossed his arms over his chest.

Although his current status would allow him to directly visit the second or even third floor, but—

How could Tang Wulin not feel pressured?

"Wu Lin, are you... in some kind of trouble?" Gu Yue asked with some concern.

Tang Wulin was thinking of how to brush it off when Xie Xie spoke first: "Actually, there is another way, that is, professionals of level three or above can also go up."

"Any type of Level 3 professional is acceptable?" Tang Wulin's hope was rekindled.

"Yes, any type is fine." Xie Xie nodded and said, "For example, if your blacksmithing profession reaches level three, you can go up."

Old Tang, I've given you the method, now you have to keep it up!

Tang Wulin's eyes instantly hardened, and he had already made a decision in his heart.

However, it wasn't a wasted trip. The three of them continued to wander around the first floor of the auction house and saw quite a few novel things.

Having learned the price of thousand-refined metal, Tang Wulin had already secretly come up with a way to make money.

After leaving the auction, the three returned to the academy for lunch.

After finishing his meal, Tang Wulin said goodbye to the two of them: "You two go back first. I need to check out the forging room before returning to the academy."

"Okay, be careful on the road." Gu Yue smiled and waved.

Xie Xie stretched lazily and replied casually, "Okay, remember to bring me dinner tonight."

"No problem!" Tang Wulin said with a smile.

Just then, a sharp, grating voice cut in from the side:

"Huh? Aren't these three weaklings from Class 5?"

Xie Xie and the other two turned around at the same time and saw several intermediate students who looked about the same age as them standing not far away.

The one who just spoke was one of the boys with blue hair parted in the middle.

Judging from the positions of the intermediate students, the boy with the blue hair parted in the middle should be the leader.

Xie Xie glanced at Tang Wulin, then at the blue-haired boy with a middle parting.

Well...

This boy is probably using the same character model as Tang San, the Sea God. His blue hair and distinctive middle parting are just too perfect!

The boy with his middle-parted hair had his hands in his pockets, his chin slightly raised, and his eyes were full of condescending disdain as he looked at the three of them.

"I haven't had time to pay attention to you guys before, but I came to check on you today—and it seems you're even... cuter than I imagined~"

He deliberately pronounced the word "cute" slowly and heavily, his sarcastic malice almost overflowing.

"Pfft~" Xie Xie couldn't help but laugh.

The blue-haired boy's arrogant expression froze instantly, and his brows furrowed: "What are you laughing at?"

"Brother, you'd better find out who the other person is before you start mocking them."

Xie Xie slowly straightened up, crossed his arms, and spoke calmly as if discussing the weather, but a coldness filled his eyes:

"I really do have a father who is a two-word battle armor master and mecha pilot, as well as an entire Xie family mecha guard team."

"And you—"

Xie Xie's gaze suddenly turned sharp.

"Every word you say right now, and the weight of your family behind you, should be commensurate with it."

As soon as he finished speaking, the temperature in the air seemed to drop a few degrees.

The blue-haired boy's face instantly turned from green to white, his hands clenched involuntarily in his pockets, and even his breathing became erratic.

He also came from a small family, so he naturally knew what the Xie family meant in Donghai City. He really didn't expect Xie Xie to openly use his family to intimidate people.

Seeing his instantly frozen expression, Xie Xie only had one thought in his mind:

Why keep your connections if you have them?
