"What?"

Lu Yuan didn't immediately grasp the meaning behind Mu Beiye's words, and subconsciously asked a question in return.

“The true divine beasts in this world have disappeared, and Bai Ze is the only one left.” Mu Beiye looked at Lu Yuan and said meaningfully, “It cannot easily appear in this world, otherwise it will cause a series of chain reactions.”

Hearing this, Lu Yuan was slightly taken aback.

chain reaction?

He looked at Mu Beiye with deep eyes, his brows slightly furrowed.

"In short, Bai Ze can only stay in my beast taming space and will not show himself under normal circumstances."

Mu Beiye was the first to look away, then turned to pour a cup of tea and hand it to Lu Yuan, before asking, "Do you need me to send someone to accompany you to the secret realm in half a month?"

He didn't ask Lu Yuan if he wanted to go to the secret realm, but instead asked directly if he needed someone to follow him, which surprised Lu Yuan and made him raise an eyebrow.

"unnecessary."

Lu Yuan refused without even thinking.

Although it's true that the more people you have when exploring secret realms, the better, he prefers to go alone, as having too many people can cause unexpected and unnecessary trouble.

Moreover, with his current strength, opponents below the Heavenly Evolution level pose no threat to him at all, and he can even put up a fight against Illusion God level opponents.

Phoenix blood.

He was determined to win!

Seeing Lu Yuan's confidence, Mu Beiye stopped refusing and took out a jet-black badge.

"Take this badge. If you need anything when you get to the capital, take it to the Divine Martial Pavilion. Someone there will be able to help you."

Lu Yuan didn't refuse anymore and reached out to take the badge.

"Thank you, Commander Mu."

...

After leaving the Divine Martial Pavilion building, Lu Yuan planned to return directly to the Divine Beast Pavilion.

He fell into a coma after the beast tide ended and has no idea how things are at the store now.

But with Mu Ruxing around, there shouldn't be any problems!

I had just hailed a taxi when my phone rang.

Looking at the caller ID, Lu Yuan raised an eyebrow.

"Hello?"

Lu Zhaoming's cautious voice came from the other end of the phone.

"Yuan'er, the doctor said you've been discharged? Your injuries haven't healed yet..."

“My injuries have healed,” Lu Yuan interrupted Lu Zhaoming. “What do you need me for?”

Seeing that Lu Yuan didn't want to talk to him anymore, Lu Zhaoming felt a little disappointed.

"Didn't you say before that you wanted to decline the invitation to study at Dragon Academy? So I contacted the people at Dragon Academy. They didn't state their position directly, but instead asked to meet with you."

"Want to see me?"

Lu Yuan was somewhat surprised.

He had never met anyone from Longteng Academy before. They made an exception and sent him an admission invitation, which was already a big deal. Now that he offered to withdraw from the school, they were not only not angry, but also wanted to see him.

"If you don't want to see him, I can cancel the meeting for you."

Seeing that Lu Yuan did not reply for a long time, Lu Zhaoming thought that he did not want to deal with the people from Longteng Academy, so he quickly spoke up.

"No need," Lu Yuan said after thinking for a moment. "Just tell me the location and time of the meeting."

Unexpectedly, as soon as he finished speaking, Lu Zhaoming immediately followed up.

"The people from Dragon Academy have arrived. You can meet them anytime if you wish."

"..."

Lu Yuan hadn't expected Lu Zhaoming to have arranged things this far. After pondering for a while, he said, "Let's do it now."

After arranging the meeting place, Lu Yuan hung up the phone and told the driver to turn around and head there.

A moment later.

Lu Yuan then arrived at the agreed-upon hotel entrance.

As soon as he walked to the front desk and gave his name, the receptionist immediately recognized him and respectfully led him to his room.

Clearly, Lu Zhaoming had already arranged everything.

Follow the reception staff into the elevator and arrive at the presidential suite on the top floor.

"Sir, please come in."

The receptionist respectfully gestured for Lu Yuan to enter before retreating.

Lu Yuan stood alone at the door, his face full of surprise.

Good heavens!

Is Longteng Academy really that rich?

Even on a casual business trip, he stays in the most luxurious presidential suite?!

"Yuan'er?"

As Lu Yuan was mentally complaining, the door to the presidential suite was suddenly opened from the inside.

Hello~

Lu Yuan twitched the corner of his mouth and greeted him casually.

Lu Zhaoming quickly came to his senses and hurriedly pulled Lu Yuan into the room.

It wasn't until he entered the room that Lu Yuan discovered that besides Lu Zhaoming, there was only an elderly man with white hair who was nearly sixty years old.

When the white-haired old man saw Lu Yuan, his eyebrows relaxed and he smiled gently.

"Is this young man Lu Yuan?"

Before Lu Yuan could speak, Lu Zhaoming pulled him in front of him.

"That's right, Elder Lu, this is my son, Lu Yuan."

As he spoke.

Lu Zhaoming then introduced to Lu Yuan, "This is Mr. Lu En, a senior professor at Longteng Academy."

When he said the words "senior professor," Lu Zhaoming paused noticeably.

Lu Yuan raised an eyebrow slightly.

Lu En, however, seemed oblivious, looking at Lu Yuan with a natural expression.

"Lu Yuan, I heard from your father that you don't want to study at Longteng Academy?"

“That’s right.” Lu Yuan nodded and said truthfully, “I have more important things to do, so I’m sorry, I can’t enroll in Longteng Academy.”

After listening to Lu Yuan's words, Lu En did not show any displeasure. Instead, he calmly stroked his beard.

Lu Zhaoming sat silently to the side, his expression inscrutable.

Upon seeing this.

After a moment of silence, Rune spoke again, "In that case, I have a suggestion."

"A proposal?" Lu Yuan countered.

“That’s right.” Rune nodded. “You don’t have to attend classes at the school, but you need to take the college’s exams. As long as you can guarantee that your grades are in the top three in every exam, I will let you graduate smoothly and issue you a diploma.”

These words stunned not only Lu Yuan, but also Lu Zhaoming.

"Mr. Lu, are you sure?"

Lu Zhaoming looked shocked.

Longteng Academy has been established for three hundred years, but we have never heard of a student who can get a graduation certificate without attending classes!

Rune stroked his beard, a smile on his face.

"I never joke about matters of the academy, so this is certainly true."

As he spoke.

He turned to look at Lu Yuan.

"Lu Yuan, what do you think?"

Upon hearing this, Lu Yuan looked up at Lu En, his eyes filled with inquiry.

Judging from Lu Zhaoming's attitude and the way he addressed Lu En, Lu En's status at Longteng Academy is definitely more than just a senior professor.

Moreover, as the highest-level academy in the world, Dragon Academy naturally has its own rules and regulations. Since Rune was able to make such an important decision, his status must be at least at the level of a board member.

No wonder he chose to stay in the most luxurious presidential suite.

From the very first detail, it was already clear that Rune's identity was extraordinary.

Why would someone of his stature personally come to Yandu, a city where the security situation is still unstable, to see him?

As if the confusion on Lu Yuan's face was too obvious, before he could ask, Lu En explained first:

"Naturally, it's to ensure we don't miss out on such a promising talent as you, and at the same time, to solidify the ranking of our Dragon Soaring Academy!"

But Lu Yuan not only didn't understand after listening, he became even more confused.

To consolidate their ranking?

Isn't Dragon Academy the undisputed number one academy?

Does it still need further consolidation?!

Feeling a little guilty under Lu Yuan's gaze, Lu En coughed lightly to cover it up.

"Ahem! ... In short, you can decide whether or not to take my advice. Anyway, apart from maintaining your exam ranking, you don't have anything else to worry about, right?"

Rune is right.

As long as Lu Yuan is confident that he can consistently maintain his top-three ranking in every exam, then this suggestion is flawless and without any burden.

Lu Yuan understood this principle as well.

"All right!"

Longteng Academy made an exception and invited him to enroll, but he chose to withdraw after more than a month.

Such an action is extremely excessive.

Now that they're not holding his change of heart against him, and are even offering such generous suggestions, it would be rather ungrateful of him to refuse.

"I agree!"
