"How did I scare her away?"

"Do I really seem that scary?"

Faced with the scene before her, Gu Yue's face couldn't help but show a hint of contemplation, her inner turmoil shrouded in confusion.

Did the other person run away so quickly because they were afraid she would harm them?

Why did she give the impression of being so dangerous to the other person?

She, where did that image come from!

"It's a pity, I wanted to talk to her a bit more."

Gu Yue sighed, feeling somewhat helpless.

"Wu Lin..."

"Do I really seem that scary? It's such a misunderstanding to scare people away like this."

Gu Yue moved closer to Tang Wulin, wearing a displeased expression on her face, and couldn't help but say slowly.

She was clearly a very gentle girl, how did she end up being seen as a demon in the other person's eyes?

"It's just that I happened to take care of that weak human with a flick of my hand, what's the big deal..."

Gu Yue pursed her lips, somewhat displeased.

In fact, she really wanted to improve her attitude at the moment, have a good conversation with the other party, and casually inquire about them and Tang Wulin.

But for some reason, she couldn't shake off her unhappiness, and her attitude didn't improve at all, making things difficult.

"..."

"Gu Yue, do you even know what you're saying?"

Upon hearing these words, Xie Xie and the others, led by Xie Xie, couldn't help but twitch their mouths, unable to stop their thoughts.

You casually took care of a Soul Ancestor, who also happens to be someone's brother. Can you blame them for being scared!

"I don't think it's a big deal."

Tang Wulin said with a faint smile, shaking his head, speaking up.

"She just misunderstood you. If you have the chance to meet her again in the future, make sure to clear things up."

His face was full of gentleness as he continued.

"Wu Lin..."

"I knew you were the best."

Hearing Tang Wulin's words, Gu Yue's heart warmed, her bad mood instantly turning sweet, she said with a smile.

"That's for sure."

Tang Wulin wasn't modest either, laughing, and directly agreed.

Now, his face was filled with sincerity and honesty, completely displaying the appearance of a good man, which he indeed was.

"You..."

"You have such thick skin."

Perhaps not expecting the other party to agree so readily, Gu Yue was also stunned for a moment, then her face turned slightly red, and she couldn't help but give the other person a glare, scolding in annoyance.

Wait a minute, what did the other party just say about meeting that girl in the future...

He still wants to meet that girl!?

"I must have misunderstood."

Thinking of this, Gu Yue immediately shook her head, her face showing a trusting expression as she thought so.

It couldn't be, absolutely not!

She trusted Tang Wulin, he couldn't be that kind of person!

"..."

"..."

"..."

If Tang Wulin and Gu Yue's atmosphere at this moment was very harmonious and pleasant, then the others beside them were completely unable to hold it together.

Among them, Wang Jinxiong and Zhang Yangzi could still look at each other—tearfully, but speechless.

And the one left behind, the truly single dog Xie Xie, could only gaze into the distance, looking at a cute wind monkey that had nothing to do with him.

"Wulin, Gu Yue."

"Should we continue forward?"

Interrupting this calm atmosphere, Xie Xie touched his nose, somewhat awkwardly saying.

Obviously, he felt that he shouldn't disturb a pair of lovers, but he really couldn't bear it anymore.

Wang Jinxiong and Zhang Yangzi didn't say anything, could they at least treat him, Xie Xie, as a person—

"Um? Of course, we should continue forward."

"Let's keep going."

Hearing the call, Tang Wulin immediately came to his senses, gently nodding and responding.

He remembered that in this uprising period of the Ascension Platform, there seemed to be a dark golden terrorclaw bear that would explode with an externally attached soul bone.

It was also considered a small opportunity in the original work, he wondered if they would encounter it. It would be great if they did, but if not, it wouldn't matter much.

Unlike the protagonist in the original work, the additional attributes brought by that dark golden terrorclaw bear weren't particularly attractive to him now.

Therefore, he didn't attach much importance to that thing. If he obtained it, he would probably give it to his buddy—Xie Xie.

"Gu Yue, and everyone else, let's go."

Looking at the girl beside him, Tang Wulin spoke up.

"Okay."

"Sure."

Gu Yue chuckled lightly, quickly responding.

"Wulin."

"Since Jinxi and I can't extend our time here, we're going to leave now."

"We have some things to discuss."

At this point, Zhang Yangzi suddenly seemed to have made up his mind, looking at Tang Wulin in front of him, slowly opening his mouth.

And Wang Jinxi, at this moment, was also silently standing by his side. Obviously, when they looked at each other just now, it wasn't just a simple gaze.

"..."

"Of course."

Listening to the other party's words, Tang Wulin also guessed what was going on for a moment, slightly stunned, but did not refuse, and slowly said.

It seemed that it was time for these two temporary companions of the protagonist group to part ways.

...

In the following time, they spent another hour exploring the area.

During this time, they encountered many people trying to rob them, but Tang Wulin didn't let Gu Yue take action. Instead, he dealt with it himself and sent them off the Ascension Platform with one blow each.

Finally, they finally arrived at the bridge that seemed to connect the Primary Ascension Platform and the Intermediate Ascension Platform, but they did not encounter the dark golden terrorclaw bear from the original work.

"The dark golden terrorclaw bear, as one of the top soul beasts in the Douluo Continent, is really not easy to find."

Tang Wulin's face showed a thoughtful expression, shrugging his shoulders with a hint of helplessness.

If it were another soul beast, especially one related to dragons in any way, he could rely on his powerful bloodline to sense its presence, like the Iron Armored Dragon or the Tyrant Dragon.

But if it were a different species, there was really nothing he could do about it. He wasn't a Dragon God and couldn't reach that level yet.

"It seems that I have no chance with this dark golden terrorclaw bear."

Tang Wulin thought with a hint of regret, but it was just a slight regret. After all, it didn't benefit him much, and it could only be said that Xie Xie missed out on something good.

At the same time, he felt a slight sense of surprise in his heart. After all, this was the first time something from the original work didn't happen to him, which was quite strange.

"Perhaps this is the butterfly effect?"

Tang Wulin thought so, then shook his head.

Whether it was an effect or not, it was probably just a matter of not encountering it. It wasn't a big deal.

"We've been here for some time."

"Should we leave now?"

Tang Wulin looked at the people around him, surprisingly seeking their opinions and slowly speaking.

Although the uprising period of the Ascension Platform lasted a long time, they could stay inside for a very long time, but he really wasn't interested.

Although during the uprising period, the number of soul beasts on the Ascension Platform tripled, it was still not enough. The highest limit was only three thousand years, and finding a thousand-year soul beast was quite difficult. The reason was simple: for him, the effect of the Primary Ascension Platform was almost negligible now. Even if there were more soul beasts and increased time limit, it was still quite difficult to improve.

Instead of accumulating here, he would prefer to enter higher-level Ascension Platforms during the Sea God City's Great Competition. That's where he should go.

"I have no objection."

Gu Yue was the first to respond, saying so.

She didn't have much feeling towards ascending spirits personally. Since Wulin was willing to leave, she was equally willing to leave.

Moreover, since she had already ascended, she wasn't in a hurry to obtain the meager spiritual power in the Primary Ascension Platform. She could wait until later for the next promotion.

"No objections here."

"Wulin, I'm fine with it."

Xie Xie smiled and spoke up.

Unlike Tang Wulin and Gu Yue's indifference towards advancing, Wang Jinxi and Zhang Yangzi couldn't advance, but he was different—

He simply had self-awareness.

Although he had succeeded in ascending before, in fact, his spiritual power level only supported his soul ring limit to the current 1200 years. If he were to increase it further, it might have some negative effects. Of course, being able to successfully ascend and let his first spirit reach a thousand years without absorbing a third soul ring was already very good.

Especially compared to the two fellows who failed to ascend... Hehe, he felt very lucky.

"Those two guys are really something."

"Wulin didn't say he was leaving yet, and they already ran off, without any team spirit."

Thinking of Wang Jinxi and Zhang Yangzi, Xie Xie also snorted coldly, thinking to himself.

If it weren't for him being outnumbered one to two, and unable to beat the two of them even with their martial soul fusion skill, he would definitely give these two a good beating.

"Since no one objects."

"Then, it's settled."

Tang Wulin chuckled, saying as he pressed his exit button.

Immediately, in the blink of an eye, he had returned to the Spirit Pagoda.

And shortly after they left, with a roar echoing, a tall bear-like soul beast passed through this place with a formidable momentum.

...

At this moment, both Wu Zhangkong and the high-level personnel of the Spirit Pagoda were around them, and Wang Jinxi and Zhang Yangzi, who had left earlier, were not among them.

"Wu Teacher."

"These three students from Class Zero have all ascended, they truly are the most outstanding geniuses in Donghai City."

The staff looked at the three young people in front of them, with a touch of emotion on their faces, couldn't help but say.

Five people in a class, three ascended, and two temporarily didn't because their spiritual power wasn't enough, stuck at 999 years...

This, really is a group of monsters!

"They are indeed very good."

"They are all very hardworking geniuses."

Hearing this, Wu Zhangkong didn't make any excuses either, his face showing a look of approval as he spoke.

After that, he also looked at the people in front of him, ready to say something.

"The first round of exams is over."

"Your performance was good, and you all met the conditions for ascension, full marks."

"Rest well these two days, and the content of the second round of exams will start later."

"Go back now."

Wu Zhangkong's cold face carried a faint smile as he spoke slowly.

Whether it was Tang Wulin, Gu Yue, Xie Xie, or Wang Jinxi and Zhang Yangzi who left earlier, they were all very good students.

"It's really an honor for me to have these students."

Wu Zhangkong couldn't help but sigh.

At the same time, he also noticed that ever since he met Tang Wulin, his smile seemed to be increasing more and more?

"Seeing me like this."

"You must be happy for me too."

Wu Zhangkong was stunned for a moment, but there was an uncontrollable smile on his lips.

At this moment, the severe illness that had afflicted him ten years ago seemed to show signs of loosening.

"Wulin, I have something to tell you."
