Gu Yu dared not use the power of gods and demons. After the system suddenly became unusable during the battle with Ma Li, Gu Yu was afraid that if he faced a powerful enemy again, it would be embarrassing. Now, the only reliable thing for him was Long Yuan. Although this guy was always reluctant to help, he always saved Gu Yu from danger. In fact, he was Gu Yu's most reliable trump card.
Therefore, Gu Yu felt that he should help Long Yuan become stronger, because the stronger Long Yuan became, the safer he would be.
"Old man, who is this important person? It's almost dark, and he still hasn't arrived. Is he not coming today?" Shi Shuai asked impatiently. They had been waiting for five or six hours, and it was getting dark.
In fact, Shi Polu was getting impatient at this point. Commander Shi had been waiting for five or six hours, and he had been waiting all day. He had been waiting here since eight in the morning, and now it was past seven in the evening.
But what could he say? He didn't even know who he was waiting for.
"Vice Minister, is the important person not coming today?" an instructor in the welcoming team asked.
"Could it be that Long Aotian's intelligence is wrong?" Shi Polu frowned and wondered.
"Who exactly is this important person?" Gu Yu had lost his patience. He had been waiting here ever since he got out of the car. What did it matter to him whether they were important or not? He didn't know them.
"I don't think they'll be coming today," Shi Polu said. "I'll make another call and ask."
Shi Polu then called Long Aotian's phone, but it rang for a long time without anyone answering.
"Vice Minister, should we wait any longer?"
"Wait for what? Who cares what big shot he is, let's go." Shi Polu was furious. Wasn't this just standing him up? He was the deputy minister of the Dragon Department, and he had been waiting here all day. How could he not be angry?
After waiting for a long time, the crowd began to disperse, and Gu Yu finally stepped into the Dragon Division. Although the area outside the Dragon Division's gate resembled a market, the interior had returned to its solemn and dignified state.
Many training grounds were deserted since it was already evening. Of course, there were some less talented people working hard on the training grounds, and most of these people didn't have any connections.
All I can do is cultivate with all my might and passion.
Although Gu Yu in his previous life didn't have any special background, he was very talented. Of course, he also worked hard to cultivate, otherwise he wouldn't have become an emperor.
"Commander Shi, arrange accommodations for the two of them," Shi Polu said to Commander Shi.
“Okay, old man.” Shi Shuai nodded. He planned to let Gu Yu and Xu Ling’er live in the instructor’s dormitory. After all, the two of them had already achieved the unity of essence, energy and spirit, which was enough for them to be chief instructors.
In the Dragon Clan, anyone whose cultivation level is comparable to a Grandmaster can serve as an instructor, but they can only teach those who are new to martial arts, since those with higher cultivation levels cannot teach them.
In the Dragon Division, there are six grades in total. The first grade is for those who have not yet entered the martial arts world, the second grade is for beginner martial artists, the third grade is for intermediate martial artists, the fourth grade is for advanced martial artists and those comparable to grandmasters, the fifth grade is for grandmasters, and the sixth grade is for those at the vertebral realm.
Once they reach the fourth grade and are comparable to grandmasters, they can become instructors for the first and second graders. In the fifth grade, they can become head instructors. As for the sixth graders, they generally don't stay within the Dragon Division; they all go on missions. However, most of them are too lazy to be instructors, since they still need to cultivate themselves.
"Vice Minister Shi, I need to speak with you," Gu Yu said.
"What is it?" Shi Polu was taken aback. He couldn't understand why Gu Yu wanted to see him.
"I am a new member of the Dragon Group, codenamed Little Dragon. This is my identification. I came to the Dragon Division this time to rectify the tycoons and aristocratic scions within the Dragon Division." Gu Yu explained in detail. However, when Shi Polu saw the dragon emblem in Gu Yu's hand, his expression became somewhat strange. He seemed very angry, but he was holding back and could not lose his temper.
"A new member of the Dragon Group, I see." Shi Shuai suddenly realized, no wonder Gu Yu took out the Dragon Emblem and Deputy City Commander Qu and Deputy Commander Yan were scared.
Long Aotian, the head of the Dragon Division, is also a member of the Dragon Group. Speaking of which, Gu Yu is at the same level as Long Aotian, which means he is superior to his grandfather.
Shi Shuai looked at Gu Yu with envy once again. What an amazing person! However, he noticed a hint of doubt in his old man's eyes, especially his gloomy face, which looked like he was about to explode.
"Grandpa, what's wrong?" Shi Shuai asked cautiously. After all, every time he saw his grandfather like this since he was a child, he would get a beating. He was a little scared.
"You're the big shot I've been waiting for all day, why didn't you say so sooner?" Shi Polu said, he really wanted to slap Gu Yu, but he couldn't.
"What?" Gu Yu was stunned. Shi Shuai and Xu Ling'er were also stunned. The big shot Shi Polu and others were actually Gu Yu.
Yes! A member of the Dragon Group, isn't that a big shot?
“You didn’t ask either!” Gu Yu said, looking at Shi Polu, whose face was turning purple from holding his breath.
Little did he know that Shi Polu was waiting for him. He was furious with this important figure Shi Polu mentioned, and had almost cursed him out! Luckily he didn't! Otherwise, he would be in an awkward situation now.
“I…” Shi Polu paused for a moment. Who would have thought that Gu Yu was a new member of the Dragon Group? So young, and his cultivation level was not high. You should know that the weakest members of the Dragon Group were all quasi-kings.
"Yes! Grandpa, why didn't you say so sooner?" Shi Shuai said from the side. If he had said so earlier, they wouldn't have had to wait so long.
"I..." Shi Polu remained speechless. He only knew that the important figure was a new member of the Dragon Group, but he had no idea of his name. How could he ask? Was he supposed to just grab anyone and ask, "Are you a new member of the Dragon Group?" That would be ridiculous!
"It's all that damned Long Aotian's fault!" Shi Polu cursed at this moment. If Long Aotian hadn't stopped talking, things wouldn't have turned out this way.
"Long Aotian?" Shi Polu's words left the group completely bewildered. What on earth was going on?
Little did anyone know that Long Aotian, who was fighting against the alien race, suddenly sneezed.
"Which bastard insulted me?" Long Aotian said indignantly, but the next second several alien races attacked him.
In fact, Long Aotian didn't know the name of the new member of the Dragon Group. Qinglong didn't say, only that his code name was Xiaolong.
"Old Master?" Shi Shuai called out cautiously, looking at the furious Shi Polu.
"That's enough!" Shi Polu calmed himself down and looked at Gu Yu. "Deputy Minister of the Dragon Division, Shi Polu, greets the leader."
After speaking, Shi Polu respectfully saluted Gu Yu.
"Let's get down to business!" Gu Yu ignored Shi Polu's salute. After all, in his previous life, although he and Shi Polu didn't have much interaction, Shi Polu was always very respectful to him whenever they met, and he was used to it.
"Commander, what do you plan to do?" Shi Polu asked.
“I don’t know much about the current situation of the Dragon Clan, and I believe you don’t know much either, so I’ve decided to disguise myself as a student and go explore it,” Gu Yu said. Even if Shi Polu knew some things, he definitely didn’t know that much.
"I will follow the leader's arrangements." Shi Polu had no objections. Gu Yu was right about one thing: he only knew the surface situation and was unaware of the true situation.
The entire Dragon Division, across all grades, has over ten thousand students. This year alone, five thousand are new recruits. Some got in through family connections, some through talent, and some through selection—it's a mixed bag. On the surface, the wealthy and powerful families are known, but who knows if some of them are secretly being cultivated by these families?
With the opening of the Southwest Source Gate, there were so many things to do that there was simply no time to investigate thoroughly.
"Alright, with my current strength, I should be in the fifth grade, right?" Gu Yu asked.
"With my spirit and energy in perfect harmony, I'm just one step away from sixth grade," Shi Polu said.
"Brother Shi Shuai, I've been looking for you for ages! Let's go on a date and have dinner." At this moment, Yang Xinxin came over and immediately hugged Shi Shuai's arm affectionately.
While waiting for the important person to arrive, Yang Xinxin lost patience and left for a while, but now she's back.
"Yang Xinxin, I still have a mission to complete," Shi Shuai said immediately.
"Oh dear! Grandpa Shi, Brother Shi Shuai just got back, and you're already handing the task over to someone else!" Yang Xinxin said to Shi Polu in a coquettish tone when she heard about Shi Shuai.
“I didn’t give him any missions,” Shi Polu denied repeatedly.
"Old man?" Shi Shuai frowned immediately.
"It's good that there's no mission." Yang Xinxin grabbed Shi Shuai's arm and headed into the distance.
"What a lovely girl! Why is this boy so clueless?" Shi Polu watched the two figures walk away, one passionate and fiery, the other utterly unwilling.
"Vice Minister Shi, where are we staying tonight?" Gu Yu asked Shi Polu. He wasn't particularly interested in Shi Shuai and Yang Xinxin, since they were both of marriageable age and it would be a problem if they didn't have partners.
"Commander, where would you like to stay?" Shi Polu asked. Gu Yu was his superior, so it was really difficult for him to make arrangements. He had originally arranged for the presidential suite, but the guest hadn't arrived and had to cancel the reservation.
"Then I'll just go and stay in the student dormitory!" Gu Yu said after thinking for a moment.
“Alright, I’ll take you there right away,” Shi Polu said.
"No need to trouble Vice Minister Shi." Gu Yu quickly declined. What a joke! Even if Shi Polu personally escorted them, although it wouldn't reveal his identity, everyone would think he was related to Shi Polu, which wouldn't be good. "Minister Shi, just find an instructor to escort us."
If you're going to investigate while hiding your identity, then hide it completely.
Soon after, an instructor led Gu Yu and Xu Ling'er toward the students' dormitory building.
“Our Dragon Division is very humane. Since you two are a couple, how about you live together?” the instructor said.
"Huh!" Gu Yu and Xu Ling'er were taken aback. "We can live together?"
"So what?" The instructor rolled his eyes and said, "The Dragon Division's trainees are the elite of the elite. Even their children basically inherit their parents' talents. So the Dragon Division doesn't care at all about couples living together. But it can't go too far. For example, getting pregnant every time there's a mission is not allowed."
"Uh!" Gu Yu and Xu Ling'er were stunned again. Is it really that open?
"Sigh! The most crucial point is that the Dragon Division's trainees might not return from a mission, so they tend to be more tolerant of certain things," the instructor continued.
“Ling’er, we…” Gu Yu looked at Xu Ling’er. They were not very old, just turned 18.
"I'll listen to you," Xu Ling'er said, lowering her head.
“We…” Gu Yu hesitated for a moment, “I think we shouldn’t live together anymore, we can just live next to each other.”
"Okay." Xu Ling'er nodded.
"Instructor, can we stay next to each other?" Gu Yu asked the instructor.
"Okay." The instructor nodded, then looked at Gu Yu and Xu Ling'er and shook his head. What's the difference between living next to each other and living together? They might just end up together tonight.
Upon entering the dormitory building, Gu Yu and Xu Ling'er were assigned to two adjacent rooms. The rooms were very well-equipped and had everything they needed. They didn't feel like a dormitory at all; they felt more like home.
Gu Yu had no idea that this was a fifth-year dormitory. Of course, it was very good. The first-year dormitories were no different from those of other schools, with eight people per room. Only advanced martial artists could enjoy single rooms, while fifth-year Grandmaster students could enjoy rooms exactly like those in a five-star hotel.
After all, a grandmaster standing outside is a powerful figure in one region, so the conditions would be much better.
"The Dragon Division has training rooms. As a fifth-year student, you can enter twice a week, for no more than two hours each time. Of course, if you want to enter more often, you can rely on credits or pay money," the instructor explained. "The training rooms are divided into a gravity training room, a source energy cultivation room, and a combat simulation room. Each of these is further divided into beginner, intermediate, and advanced levels. I will take you to see them tomorrow."
"Okay." Gu Yu nodded.
"Be careful tonight. You're new here, and someone might come to visit you," the instructor warned before leaving.
“Okay.” Gu Yu nodded. Visit him? He was afraid that no one would come to visit him, otherwise his plan would not be able to be implemented.
Sure enough, Gu Yu had just finished making the bed when he heard a knock on the door, but it wasn't from his room; it was from Xu Ling'er's room.
Gu Yu frowned and walked out of the room. He saw three women and was somewhat puzzled.
Xu Ling'er opened the door and was taken aback when she saw the three women outside.
"Is there something you need?" Xu Ling'er asked, her expression aloof and unapproachable.
"You must be a new fifth-year student! We would like to invite you to join our Jade Maiden Sect." The leading woman said, "The Dragon Division students are divided into factions and sects. If you don't join any faction, you will be bullied in terms of resources and daily cultivation."
"Jade Maiden Sect?" Xu Ling'er frowned and looked at Gu Yu, clearly wanting to know what Gu Yu meant.
"I'm sorry, our Jade Maiden Sect only accepts girls, not boys." The leading woman followed Xu Ling'er's gaze to Gu Yu, her brows furrowing as she hurriedly spoke.
"Huh!" Gu Yu was also taken aback. He hadn't said he wanted to join the Jade Maiden Sect!
"I'd like to know which gangs the Dragon Division students belong to, and which ones are the strongest?" Gu Yu asked.
"No comment." The woman in the lead had an icy expression, and when she saw Gu Yu, it was as if she had seen an enemy.
"Since you have nothing to say, then get lost and stop getting in my way," Gu Yu said irritably, since he hadn't provoked the other party.
"You..." The woman's face suddenly turned furious, and she reached out and slammed her palm towards Gu Yu.
The fifth-grade students have the greatest difference in strength. There are first-grade grandmasters and those who have achieved unity of essence, energy and spirit. In the eyes of the leading woman, Gu Yu and Xu Ling'er are only newly entered grandmasters, after all, they are too young.
Just as the leading woman's hand was about to strike Gu Yu, Xu Ling'er suddenly stepped in front of Gu Yu, and a terrifying aura instantly spread out. Xu Ling'er also unified her spirit, energy and mind. Although her current combat power was not as high as Gu Yu's, it was much higher than that of the leading woman, after all, the leading woman was only a fourth-grade grandmaster.
boom…………
The woman in the lead was immediately sent flying backward. She looked at Xu Ling'er in disbelief. The other party was too strong, terrifyingly strong. Perhaps only their sect leader could be compared to Xu Ling'er.
"Gu Yu told you to get lost, so get lost now," Xu Ling'er said coldly.
"You'd better think this through. Even if you are powerful, my Jade Maiden Sect has over a hundred members, and our two vice sect leaders are both 12th-grade Grandmasters. Our sect leader is just a little short of reaching the Vertex Realm. Do you really want to oppose us?" the leading woman threatened.
"Then let your sect leader come in person," Gu Yu said coldly.
"Hmph! You think you can meet our sect leader? You're just a coward who hides behind women."
"What did you say?" Xu Ling'er's brows furrowed suddenly, and her aura surged forth, startling several rooms around her.
"So strong, he's probably not far from reaching the Vertebra Realm," said a young man in his thirties.
"When did such a strong person arrive? She looks so young and is very beautiful."
"Why are all the students this year so prodigies? How are we, the veteran students, supposed to compete?"
The woman in the lead was stunned by Xu Ling'er's aura, and she immediately turned around and left with the other two women, looking quite disheveled.
"Why bother arguing with them?" Gu Yu said, grabbing Xu Ling'er's shoulder. If he hadn't held her back, Xu Ling'er probably would have killed someone.
“They insulted you,” Xu Ling’er said.
"Hehe... Why bother? Whether I'm strong or weak, a coward or not, they'll see soon enough," Gu Yu said.
“That won’t do either,” Xu Ling’er insisted stubbornly.
"Are you two new here?" At this moment, a chubby young man walked up. He was covered in gold, even his glasses had gold frames. "My name is Qian Duoduo."
"You're not a Grandmaster?" Gu Yu frowned. Everyone in this restaurant was a Grandmaster, and this fat man in front of him was clearly only a high-level martial artist.
"Sigh! My talent for cultivation is only so-so, and I had to spend a lot of money to live here," Qian Duoduo said.
"You can pay to stay here?" Gu Yu was taken aback.
"Money can make the devil turn the millstone, and money can make the millstone turn the devil. The Dragon Clan also needs money," Qian Duoduo said, shaking his head.
"Oh!" Gu Yu nodded. Qian Duoduo was right. Money is always useful, no matter when, and of course, you have to be rich enough.
"Dude, how good are you?" Qian Duoduo asked Gu Yu.
"It's alright!" Gu Yu thought for a moment. He was only one step away from the Vertebra Realm. If he used the triple amplification, he could kill a Vertebra Realm expert.
