Versatile Mage: Dragon's Lair, Lord of the Dragon Clan!

Chapter 28: Get the wool
Half a year has passed, and Lin Chen's three systems have successfully broken through with the help of the Galaxy Veins. Unfortunately, there has been no other progress at present, and his cultivation seems to have stagnated.

"It's really hard to practice at a high level," Lin Chen scratched his head, feeling a little distressed. It seemed like it was time to go find Dean Xiao.

Walking out of the room, Ding Yumian was curled up on the sofa watching TV. Seeing Lin Chen coming out, he tilted his head and asked, "Are you going out?"

"Yes, let's go find Dean Xiao," Lin Chen said without raising his head as he lowered his head to put on his shoes.

It's not that he didn't want to look up, but Ding Yumian didn't like to wear long pants at home. She wore shorts every day, swinging her beautiful legs. If it were someone else, they would just look at her, but Ding Yumian had the ability to sense people's psychological changes, so Lin Chen didn't dare to show any abnormality.

"Oh..." Ding Yumian lowered his head, looking a little depressed.

"Come back and go shopping with you."

"Great! I want to buy some Chong Mei merchandise!"

Lin Chen laughed, said "I'm leaving", and walked out of the house.

Arriving at Dean Xiao’s office, Lin Chen knocked on the door.

"Enter."

Seeing Lin Chen, Dean Xiao raised his eyebrows in surprise, "What's the matter?"

Lin Chen rubbed his hands. "That's right, Dean. I want to enter the Three-Step Pagoda for training. Can I enter the main campus in advance to compete for the ranking?"

Dean Xiao was not surprised that Lin Chen knew about the main campus. As a disciple of a noble family, it would be abnormal for him not to know.

"The assessment is in half a year. Why don't you wait a little longer?" Dean Xiao said, "Young people shouldn't be too ambitious. The Three-Step Pagoda is fast, but you can't rely on it..."

"I'm already at a high level..."

"Then forget what I said." Dean Xiao's expression changed immediately. "With your level of cultivation, the assessment will definitely not be difficult for you, including the ranking competition. I can let you go directly to the Three-Step Pagoda, but that would be unfair to the other students..."

Dean Xiao was hinting at something, but Lin Chen seemed not to hear it at all. "I am also a high-level thunder element, so I can participate in the ranking."

Dean Xiao was speechless. Why don’t you understand? I don’t mean to ask you to bully those middle-level students. I mean to ask you to make some contribution to the school.

"Ahem, let me be frank. Based on my connections, we should be selected for the exchange program with the Imperial Capital Academy this time. I hope you can represent Mingzhu Academy in the competition against the Imperial Capital Academy, and then work harder to get selected for the World Academy Competition."

Lin Chen pretended to be embarrassed and said, "Dean, I can compete with the Imperial Capital Academy, but I don't have the ability to be included in the roster for the World Academy Competition. Where can I get so many votes?"

Dean Xiao looked at Lin Chen with amusement, and it was obvious that he wanted benefits.

"Don't worry. As far as I know, your Mu family has one vote. Hua Junshou's vote should also be given to you. Add my vote and you will get one more vote, then you can participate."

After saying that, Dean Xiao seemed to be a little emotional. He didn't expect that a top domestic figure like Hua Junshou was so optimistic about Lin Chen. But to be honest, with Lin Chen's strength, he would definitely be able to obtain more resources for the country in the World University Competition. Who knows how many military mages' lives he could save. Hua Junshou would definitely not care about human relationships at this time. Whoever has the ability would go up. That would be the right choice.

It turned out that he had obtained three votes without realizing it. Lin Chen opened his mouth, not knowing what to say.

"Alright, alright, don't say thank you. What you should do is to obtain more resources for the country. My Mingzhu Academy will of course give you some help. If the seven-day training time in the Three-Step Pagoda is not enough, come to me again. Oh, and let Mo Fan come as well." After Dean Xiao said this, he led Lin Chen to the area of the Three-Step Pagoda.

The Three-Step Pagoda, also steeped in history, is a unique magical structure constructed through the wisdom of our ancestors, capable of gathering the scattered and drifting elemental energy of heaven and earth. Elements are omnipresent, and spirit seeds are born from the gradual evolution of time through the refinement of concentrated elemental and magical energy in specific locations. The Three-Step Pagoda's location and structure are ideal for converging this energy within a radius of thousands of kilometers.

The exterior presents a completely symmetrical three-dimensional triangle. Its exterior appears to be made of silver metal and stands upright, making it particularly conspicuous on the main campus.

Led by the guardian, Lin Chen entered smoothly.

After the guardian left, Lin Chen decisively entered the dragon's nest.

"Suck, suck, come here, Roudun." Lin Chen called out to Roudun.

Roudun ran over quickly, raising dust several meters high on the ground.

A sudden brake splashed dirt all over Lin Chen's face.

"What's wrong, Dad?"

Roudun wanted to rub Lin Chen's head affectionately, but he ignored the fact that his head was twice as big as Lin Chen's, and he rubbed Lin Chen to the ground.

Lin Chen stood up helplessly. "You have the highest physical strength, so be prepared. I want you to go outside and see how far you can reach the Three-Step Pagoda."

After saying that, Lin Chen’s consciousness returned to the outside world and he summoned Roudun out.

Roudun has continued to grow wildly in the past six months. His body length is almost thirty meters, and his strength is that of an advanced warrior.

But even as big as a meat dump, it still looks a little small in this three-step tower.

Sitting on Roudun's back, Lin Chen moved all the way up.

He passed the first three levels easily, and it was not until the fourth level that Lin Chen felt some pressure.

Lin Chen lowered his head with difficulty and found that Roudun still looked somewhat relaxed.

"Rou Dun, you and Xiao Hei go to the fifth floor together. Xiao Lan and I will stay here."

Lin Chen estimated the approximate endurance of his five dragons and sighed, they are indeed dragons, their physical and mental strength are not comparable to humans.

Roudun roared happily. Although he felt a little suppressed here, the rapid increase in his strength made him completely ignore these things.

It feels so good, so good. At this rate, Roudun feels that he will soon reach the commander level. By then, he will be on the same level as the black boss.

The black boss naturally refers to Xiao Hei.

While Xiao Hei hadn't come out yet, Roudun quickly jumped to the fifth floor. The powerful pressure made his face a little distorted, making him look even more hideous.

After releasing the five little dragons one after another, the silent Three-Step Pagoda suddenly became much more lively, with dragon roars coming one after another.

Lin Chen also calmly entered into cultivation...

(The training process is omitted. I feel that this chapter is a bit watery, so I won’t make it any more watery. I must fight hard in the next chapter.)
(A quick aside: I was too busy today and didn't read the comments. I wonder if anyone is saying, "Knowing the Black Church is watching you still dare to run around? What a stupid author." Although I've always written about the pressure of the Black Church, it's to give the protagonist a motivation to practice, not to make him afraid to go out. I could have written about him staying at the Mu family, eating the minimum living allowance for decades, and becoming a god, but would anyone be willing to read that? Then why isn't my book called, Versatile Mage: The Cowardly Dragon, Born Invincible?)
