Chapter 55 The Soul Saint License Approved Ahead of Schedule
As soon as get out of class ended, Xie Xie ran over to Huo Yuhao, "Boss Yuhao, did you receive an invitation to the East China Sea Auction tonight? I heard there are a lot of treasures tonight."
"An auction of this caliber would naturally send an invitation to the Spirit Pagoda. And you?" Huo Yuhao looked at him, took out a card—this was a modern invitation, which could be recycled by the auction house after use.
"Hehe, my dad said he'd show me around, but I don't find it very interesting to stay with him. Hey bro, can I come with you?"
Xie Xie scratched his head and took out a card as well. Xie Xie's father had put in a lot of effort to get his son to get along well with Huo Yuhao and the others.
As the saying goes, "being near the water tower, one gets the moon first," and he naturally meant he wanted to get closer. At the same time, he couldn't help but sigh inwardly at how much the Spirit Pagoda invested in its disciples.
It is said that these two often appear at the Spirit Ascension Platform, and they have probably upgraded their spirit rings to the thousand-year level, not just the ordinary thousand or two thousand-year level.
Gu Yuena frowned again, clearly annoyed. Why did everyone have to steal her alone time? So, she decided to teach him a lesson—
"beep."
Huo Yuhao's communicator beeped. He looked down and saw that Xu Xiaoyan had sent him a message.
Xu Xiaoyan: "A day apart feels like three autumns. Brother Yuhao, do you have time tonight? Dad is taking me to the auction, but I'd rather be with you."
Hmm, girl, you're so straightforward?
Huo Yuhao sensed a hint of danger. He had discovered that this woman had a "little devil" personality, and if he went to accompany her, the silver dragon fish beside him would probably get angry.
After glancing at Gu Yuena out of the corner of his eye, Huo Yuhao immediately replied to Xu Xiaoyan with a message: "No time, I have an appointment with someone else."
Meanwhile, in Xu Xiaoyan's own room.
Seeing the rapid response on the screen, Xu Xiaoyan pouted, her eyes full of resentment. What do you mean she didn't have time? She knew that Huo Yuhao and his group would have a place in this auction.
He was just making up an excuse on purpose!
The girl felt no discouragement whatsoever. This was the way to go! This was the thrill of conquest! The contrast between my previously indifferent crush and his current state after I've won him over—I'm looking forward to that day.
She is ready for the next battle.
…………
In the end, Gu Yuena generously allowed Xie Xie to join in... no, to enter their high society circle. Why would she hold a grudge against a man?
See you tonight!
The three parted ways immediately. Although the incident with Wu Changkong had caused a curfew at Donghai Academy, Xie Xie was from a wealthy family and had a private car to pick him up, while Huo Yuhao and the other two were secretly protected by people from the Spirit Pagoda, so there was no need to worry about their safety.
"Oh, Yuhao, you're back. The Soul Saint qualification certificate that Elder Han applied for for you has been issued."
Back at the Spirit Pagoda, Sikong Hong, who had nothing better to do, came over with a certificate.
"Seriously, does the teacher think this certificate is difficult for me? Besides, I'm only a Soul Venerable now." Huo Yuhao took the certificate, glanced at it, and felt both amused and exasperated.
The Soul Saint Qualification Certificate, also known as the Soul Saint License, is a small certificate that has blocked countless Soul Masters from breaking through. It can be said that as long as you have this certificate, you have one foot in the Soul Saint realm.
Gu Yuena: What about mine?
Although she doesn't need Han Tianyi's help, isn't this preferential treatment a bit too much? Even if I'm a newcomer, can't you treat me as your future apprentice's wife?
Sensing her future father-in-law's prejudice, Gu Yuena felt that she had a long way to go.
"It's all about being prepared," Sikong Hong said, offering a different perspective. He earnestly advised, "With your combined talent, you'll probably break through to level 70 in five or six years. Do you know how amazing it is to be a Soul Saint at around fifteen years old? If you openly and honestly take the exam to prove yourself then, countless people will pay attention to this!"
If you have to go through the assessment and certification process, you're destined to be exposed to everyone's scrutiny and get caught in endless trouble.
Even inside the Spirit Pagoda, there are all sorts of open and covert struggles.
The Spirit Pagoda is too powerful now. Before these two geniuses grow up, if they fall into the eyes of those people, they will inevitably be feared and may even be secretly destroyed.
Coincidentally, the higher-ups in the tower had done this many times before: applying for breakthrough certificates for their disciples in advance. Since Huo Yuhao and his companion were outside the corrupt world of Mingdu, and with Han Tianyi making proper arrangements, no one would know their true talents.
A high-profile genius won't live long.
A high-profile force is bound to become a target of public criticism.
Before they grow stronger, keeping a low profile is the best policy. Of course, this doesn't mean that Huo Yuhao and the others shouldn't compete for the championship, but rather that they should try to hide their true strength.
After listening, Huo Yuhao understood the key point. "I understand now, thank you for your guidance."
Sikong Hong nodded secretly. Huo Yuhao was as mature and steady as ever, quick to understand and listen to advice.
"So what about mine?"
Gu Yuena looked up at the Tower Master. She understood what he had said, but what about her own proof? Was she no longer important? Did she really have to go through the certification process?
"Ahem, don't rush, don't rush." Sikong Hong coughed, an embarrassed look on his face, forgetting that the two were inseparable. "This certificate wasn't easy to obtain. Because of the Heavenly Phoenix Douluo incident, some people made things difficult at the crucial moment of applying for your certificate..."
It wasn't intentional that they blocked her; they just mentioned what if she ended up like Tianfeng? This made some people seriously reconsider, saying, "This little girl's First Master's record is tainted; we need to consider it further. It's not that we won't approve her, but we'll approve her slowly and gradually. We will never allow an innocent person to be treated differently."
Han Tianyi was speechless after being silenced by these words. Although Gu Yuena had performed well, he couldn't guarantee that she wouldn't suddenly become the next Tianfeng.
Even though she and Huo Yuhao have a very good relationship now, there have been similar situations in history, such as when a "white moonlight" returns and abandons her husband and children.
Moreover, Tenfeng was his first teacher after all; who knows how much influence he would have?
Gu Yuena was speechless and sighed heavily in her heart.
It's because of Leng Yaozhu again!
She knew perfectly well why she was being blocked.
"Gu Yue, don't worry about this now, your teacher will handle it," Huo Yuhao comforted her, holding her hand. This matter wasn't a big deal, after all, what really affected them were the Soul Douluo certificate, the Title Douluo certificate, and so on. That would be the time when they would officially step onto the stage.
"Hmm," Gu Yuena leaned directly into Huo Yuhao's arms, her movements smooth and natural, making Sikong Hong's eyelids twitch. No, I'm still here!
Are you openly selling me dog food? By the way, how old are you guys? You're already thinking about this? Sikong Hong recalled that he was already thirteen when he first had that hazy, youthful feeling. He confessed to a senior girl for the first time, but was rejected.
It's true what they say, the younger generation surpasses the older. I hope they can get together; hopefully, there won't be any surprises. The atmosphere was no longer suitable for a single guy like him to stay in, so he gave a few brief instructions and left.
"You'll be attending the auction tonight. You're representing our Spirit Pagoda, so take whatever you want. I'll reimburse your expenses."
The auction house in Donghai City is jointly organized with the museum. The museum has a dedicated area for displaying auction items and holds auctions regularly.
The Donghai Museum is located in the southern part of the city center of Donghai, and is a collection of ancient buildings. It consists of a main building and two auxiliary buildings.
The main building displays specimens of various rare soul beasts, artifacts that bear witness to the development history of Donghai City, and items from various eras.
The annex on the left is the auction exhibition area, while the actual auction is held on the upper floors of the main building.
The annex where the auction exhibition area is located does not require an entrance fee and can be entered directly; there are quite a few people inside.
The annex has four floors. Although it is only an annex, it is extremely large. From the outside, it is 200 meters wide.
As the second largest city in the eastern coastal region, Donghai City is also the only auction house here, so its scale is considerable. The first to fourth floors are all dedicated to displaying auction items, arranged according to different categories and levels. Of course, some particularly rare and expensive items are only displayed in designated areas and are not available to everyone.
Upon entering, a large sign indicates that the first floor of the auction display area is divided into two main sections: a Soul Tool section and a non-Soul Tool section. The Soul Tool section is further divided into several sub-areas, including a Rare Metals section and a Finished Soul Tool section.
"Boss, you've finally arrived! I've been waiting for you for so long."
"Brother Yuhao, it's been a long time."
I was just planning to take a casual look around when Xie Xie and Xu Xiaoyan came out.
