Chapter 9: Dragon Soaring Wine House

  Heavenly Tyrant Earth Conqueror

  Now that the assessment is over, it's time for the opening ceremony of the new semester.

  Three days passed in a flash, and people gathered in twos and threes on the campus square, discussing.

  "Hey, have you guys heard that this year's Fairy Chart, Handsome Boy Chart, Hidden Dragon Chart and Soaring Dragon Chart are out?"

  "Yes, I heard that the first place in this year's Fairy Ranking is called Yuè Lóng Xiāo, second place is Nán Gōng Níng Xuān, third place is Wáng Yǔ Qiàn, fourth place is Zhào Líng ér, fifth place is Mù Róng Qíng..."

  Yu Yan, how did she come! She was only third, what kind of people were the two in front of her? For a moment, Wang Yu's heart was confused.

  "Haha! Did Zhou Hao hear that? The Fairy Ranking has your wife on it! How come she's only ninth?"

  ……

  "Quiet down! Quiet down! Everyone quiet down! Welcome everyone to becoming a member of Long Xiang Academy. Here, I represent the academy..."

  A slightly fat middle-aged man on the podium talked a lot of nonsense, making the students below drowsy. Finally, when he said: "I declare that the opening ceremony is over!"

  The opening ceremony has ended, and at this time, the students below also woke up. "Is... it over?"

  "Hmm? It seems like it's over."

  "Then let's go."

  The opening ceremony was just a formality, and since it's over, everyone has dispersed.

  "Come on, Wang Shao. Let's take a stroll around Longxiang Academy. I heard there are quite a few exceptional students in this school." Hu Ran said with an extremely lewd tone.

  "Is it? You go ahead, I have no interest in this."

  "Ah! Won't come true, Wang Shao. When did you become so righteous and proud? How come I didn't discover it earlier?" Qian Runming chimed in from the side.

  "Go ahead and take a stroll. I'll head back to Qingquan House to rest." Wang Yu said with a slightly tired tone.

  "Those brothers won't accompany you anymore." With that, they slipped away in a flash.

  Looking at the departing brothers, Wang Yu's mouth involuntarily curled up into a faint smile. "I'll take you all with me to become stronger, definitely!" It seems that this Long Xiang Academy is not simple after all. Just like this and two strong people have emerged. With my current cultivation level of mid-sixth stage Qi Refining, I'm far from being their match. Looks like I need to intensify my training.

  It was actually Wang Yu scaring himself. Instant movement was indeed a sign of Yuan Ying period cultivators, but in this magical world of Xian Jie, one couldn't comment solely based on their cultivation experience.

  The "instant movement" performed by the principal of Longxiang Academy is just a kind of spatial magic, imitating spatial fluctuations, using spatial overlap to select coordinates, equivalent to a small-scale transmission array. However, this transmission array is extremely unstable and requires a great deal of mental effort to locate.

  In the cities of the Tenglong Empire, there are also magical arrays, but this kind of transmission array is not like the transmission array in the Xiu Zhen Realm, which can perform interstellar transmission and cannot perform planetary transmission. Being able to transmit between cities thousands of miles apart is already the limit.

  Legend has it that thousands of years ago, a powerful cultivator attempted to experiment with teleportation. Any transmission over ten thousand miles would result in the mysterious disappearance of the person being transmitted. After dozens of experiments and the sacrifice of dozens of lives, they finally discovered that when transmitting over long distances, an enormous tearing force and devouring force would appear within the transmission array, commonly known as a spatial rift.

  Apart from this, people also discovered that there is another kind of naturally generated "wormhole" that can transmit over long distances. Unstable wormholes may be swallowed up as soon as they enter, while stable wormholes can transport people tens of thousands or even millions of miles away.

  The discovery of wormholes has taken human magic a big step forward, and people have gradually learned to set up transmission arrays on wormholes, which makes the transmission array more stable and the transmission efficiency higher.

  Wang Yu returned to his residence and quickly entered a state of cultivation. Thick spiritual energy gathered around him, red like fire elements, blue like water elements... Upon closer inspection, there were even threads of electric snakes writhing about. White light points, black light points. The nine major elements have all assembled!

  Essence is the essence of heaven and earth, it is the condensation of all things. It encompasses all phenomena, and the higher one's cultivation, the deeper one's understanding of essence becomes. The deeper the understanding, the more astonishing...

  Wang Yu had unknowingly meditated for a whole day, and Zhou Hao and the other two also returned one after another.

  "Wang Shao, it's time to eat! Are you in or not?" Hu Ran shouted from outside.

  Wang Yu suddenly opened his eyes in meditation, time really flies. This was Wang Yu's first thought after waking up. Looking at the fading light outside the window, Wang Yu couldn't help but miss his master a little. Alas, why am I thinking of that old man? He hasn't seen me for years, and when he does, he torments me.

  "Bang!" The door was suddenly pushed open. "Wang Shao, you're here! Why didn't I see you when I called out for half a day?"

  "Oh, I was just meditating and didn't notice the outside noise." Wang Yu replied faintly. What meditation, it's clearly sitting in stillness to cultivate, and the efficiency of this meditation in absorbing spiritual energy is also too poor. Wang Yu thought secretly in his heart.

  "Come on, let's hurry up, or we'll miss dinner!"

  "Haha! Qian Paozi, you only know how to eat. What if you eat until you become a pig one day!" Hu Ran joked beside him.

  "It's getting late, let's go to the cafeteria quickly."

  The four of them walked quickly and arrived at what was called the cafeteria, Longxiang Restaurant. That's right, it was indeed Longxiang Restaurant.

  Looking at the little servant leading the way in front of him, Wang Yu was stunned. "Is this a cafeteria?" Wang Yu couldn't help but ask.

  "Haha! Wang Shao, you're so naive. Don't you see where we are? Can an ordinary cafeteria satisfy the young masters and misses of this college? Of course not. The college had no choice but to turn the cafeteria into a restaurant, where people can order whatever they want. If you have money, you eat well; if you don't, you eat poorly." Zhou Hao explained with a hint of sarcasm.

  "Fourth floor, please!"

  "Please order!"

  "Braised Lion's Head, Dragon Crossing the River, Living Buddha Ascending to Heaven, Thousand Miles of Longing Fish..." Zhou Hao ordered a big table of dishes and finally said: "Less money for the bill." This one sentence almost made Qian Runming crawl under the table.

  "Alright! Wait a moment."

  "Zhou Hao, don't play like this! How much does this meal cost?! You could sell me and it wouldn't be worth the price of this table of dishes!" The last sentence was almost shouted out. It attracted the attention of the students eating on the second floor, who all turned to look."

  "Alright, stop making a fuss. I'll pay the bill." Wang Yu had no choice but to come out and mediate.

  "Here comes the braised lion's head, dragon crossing the river, living Buddha ascending to heaven, thousand miles longing fish..." The waiter brought up dish after dish. Although Wang Yu spoke out to help him get out of the situation, he didn't want to let Wang Yu pay the bill either. So every time a new dish was served, Qian Ruoming's face would involuntarily twitch.

  The dishes were all served, but everyone remained still and silent. It was Zhou Hao who broke the silence first, "Wang Shao, what do you plan to do?"

  Sharp eyes stared straight at Wang Yu, as if wanting to see through him. "I want to take you to become stronger! Originally, I thought this academy couldn't teach me anything, but seeing the principal and others, I changed my mind. This academy is not as simple as it seems on the surface." Wang Yu was not affected by Zhou Hao's sharp gaze, but instead said something that shocked everyone. "There are no less than twenty mages and swordsmen at the level of law enforcement here."

  "What!!!" The three of them shouted in unison.

  "Alright, don't say any more, or the dishes will get cold." Wang Yu signaled for everyone to keep quiet.

  At this time, a chaotic footsteps came from the stairs, "Yu Yan miss, would you have the honor to dine with me..."

  "Are you annoying me on purpose?! I already told you I'm not interested!"

  "Don't be shameless! I'm having a meal with you because I look up to you. This is the last time I'll ask, will you answer or not?"

  A conversation came from upstairs.
