······

At the West Fortress, on the ninth watchtower, a seventeen-year-old boy sat on the edge, playing a melodious tune on his flute.

A gray-white eagle, still in its juvenile stage, circled merrily around him, nuzzling affectionately against the boy's body.

"Hehe, Gray, it's so itchy... The fight just now was really scary, thank goodness you're okay... Stop fooling around, go hide quickly, it'll be bad if someone sees you."

"It's not bad at all."

"Ah!" Wang Xiaojun was startled and turned around abruptly. Her eyes almost popped out of their sockets when she saw Yun Fengjun, who had somehow walked up to her side.

How could a high-ranking military officer, a figure whom even his superiors had to bow and scrape before, condescend to come here?

"Is this the eagle you raised?" Yun Feng stared intently at Xiao Hui, his eyes fixed on it.

Wang Xiaojun, unaware of Yun Feng's intentions, nodded nervously: "This was given to me by my brother."

"It wasn't under the control of the White Demon Eagle?" Yun Feng pressed.

Wang Xiaojun nodded cautiously: "Its bloodline is impure, so..."

Hehehe...

Wang Xiaojun was startled and looked at the military commander who suddenly burst into strange laughter, somewhat at a loss.

"Not pure is good, not pure is good!" Yun Feng's eyes shone like light bulbs: "Wang Xiaojun!"

"Here!" Wang Xiaojun straightened her chest instinctively.

"I hereby declare that you are now a member of the Skyhawk Mage Order. Now, take your Skyhawk and follow me!"

Wang Xiaojun was so surprised and flustered that she asked instinctively, "What are you going to do?"

"What for?" Yun Feng smiled knowingly. "Let your Sky Eagle be the groom. We've been waiting for it to give birth to its young in Hangzhou!"

"Wait, Commander, Grey is still just a child!"

Chapter 198 I'm socially awkward and clumsy with words.

Summer vacation always seems to pass by faster than usual.

Two months passed in the blink of an eye. During this time, Xu Fang crammed on his knowledge of toxins.

He diluted the blood of the totem serpent into hundreds of portions, which were neatly stacked in a corner of Cangxing, creating a spectacular sight.

"My good sons, it's time to eat."

Xu opened a bottle of snake blood and slowly poured it into a container of poisonous insects. He also mixed in a dose of Lingzhao plague rat blood; drinking both together would be more potent.

"Hiss~ Hiss~ Hiss!!!"

The venomous insects writhe and struggle in the blood, fighting a bloody battle, looking quite happy.

It is worth mentioning that only fifteen poisonous insects are still alive, three dead worms, and twelve swamp centipedes remain.

However, the space in the insect container did not seem to be much more than enough.

Because the insects had grown several times their original size, the golden markings on their bodies became even more pronounced.

Especially the one that Xu Fang had marked earlier, its golden patterns had merged into one, making it look like a ghost mask.

"We need to add some new bugs again."

Xu Fang sighed: "We've spent a lot of money, and the new talent still hasn't been revealed."

Raising poisonous insects has become his biggest expense now; even summoning mages might not be as willing to spend money as he is.

Just like this time, he didn't even want the Black Serpent Armor for a bottle of poisoned blood!

Now he finally understands the frustration his teacher felt when he thought, "I've put so much effort into you, why are your grades still so bad?"

"Don't panic. Insect cultivation is not an easy path. It takes a long time in the early stages, but you'll enjoy the benefits later."

Old Bao sat at the bar, sipping his coffee with ease: "If you don't have enough money, I have a few small tasks here that will be a piece of cake for you."

"Don't go."

The small tasks that Old Man Bao mentioned were mostly tasks for young married women seeking personal protection, which were time-consuming and yielded little reward, and Xu Fang had no interest in them whatsoever.

Ring ring...

The cell phone rings.

"Hello, Dean Xiao?"

"Today is orientation day. You need to come to the school right away. It's important."

After saying that, Dean Xiao hung up the phone. Xu Fang was completely confused, but he didn't dare to delay and immediately set off for Mingzhu Academy.

······

The school is not far from the Qingtian Hunting Grounds; it only takes a few steps to walk there.

It's the start of the school year, and the school gates are packed with all sorts of luxury cars. Impatient with the traffic jam, the wealthy students open their car doors, get out, and carry their bags and packages into the school.

Xu Fang dressed casually today, and although there were still many posters of him on campus, no one recognized him along the way.

Heading straight to the dean's office, Xu Fang pushed the door open and entered.

Inside the dean's office were about four or five teachers of considerable rank, as well as several student council leaders. They all turned around in astonishment, wondering who was so rude.

"Which department's student is this, so rude? Don't you want to study anymore... Oh, Xu Fang, come and sit down."

A department head instantly changed his expression and greeted them warmly.

The student council president next to him quickly brought Xu Fang a stool. Unlike himself, who took the administrative route, this guy was a real genius!

Dean Xiao smiled broadly and waved his hand, "You can all go down first. I want to talk to him alone."

Everyone quickly left the dean's office, leaving only Xu Fang and Dean Xiao.

Xu Fang said, "Dean Xiao, is there something you need?"

"Today is welcome day. A ceremony will be held in the Colosseum in a little while. Get ready to say a few words to the new students."

"Is this the urgent matter you were talking about?" Xu Fang's entire body exuded resistance: "Dean Xiao, I can't do this job. I'm socially awkward and clumsy with words. How could I possibly be qualified for this position?"

Dean Xiao, without looking up, said while organizing a document, "You are the youngest chief in our school's history, and also the designated member of the National Government. If you don't take the position, who will?"

"Pre-arranged?" Xu Fang asked curiously, "Which side do I represent?"

"It's not certain yet, we need to discuss it with everyone," Dean Xiao said. "Anyway, the script is ready for you, just read it on stage."

"So, if I were to ask, what benefits does the school offer? I don't care about magical tools or artifacts," Xu Fang asked shamelessly.

"A top student like you're acting like a shrewd businessman." Dean Xiao was both amused and annoyed. "You don't lack this stuff, why not save some good stuff for your juniors?"

These young people nowadays, how come they are all so shameless?

Xu Fang chuckled, and Dean Xiao handed him the materials in his hand: "Take this. Dean Fu has already arranged it. Go directly to report after the orientation."

Xu Fang's eyes lit up.

I'm really sleepy and I give you a pillow.

I was just worried about not having enough poisonous insects. This time, when I go to the South China Sea Battle City, how can the tropical area be without these guys?

Dean Xiao checked the time, stood up, and said, "Let's go."

The two walked side by side, chatting casually, which left the other students stunned.

"Damn it, that's Dean Xiao, right? Who is that person next to you?"

"Could it be that he got caught in the act of being a pervert..."

"What kind of eyesight do you have, kid? That's our academy's top student, Xu Fang, and you don't recognize him?!"

"Holy crap, now that you mention it, it's true!"

It's not their fault; it's mainly because of Xu Fang's outfit today: a fire-breathing green dinosaur short-sleeved shirt, loose shorts, slippers, and golden wisps of hair peeking out from under his fisherman's hat.

Well... he's definitely handsome, but he just doesn't have the air of a top leader.

······

The Colosseum at the Qing Campus.

A year later, Xu Fang returned to this place, but this time he was backstage instead of in the audience.

Here, you can clearly see the crowds pouring into the venue, their young and energetic faces, and their beautiful, white legs.

"It's so beautiful..." Xu Fang exclaimed sincerely, nudging the shoulder of a boy next to him: "Don't you think so, bro?"

"Yes Yes."

The boy's voice trembled with nervousness.

He was a new student in the Summoning Department, and as in previous years, he had to enter the Beast Fighting Cage to fight against all the other mages.

The thought of standing in the center of the venue, surrounded by eyes from all sides, made him so nervous that he almost forgot what his major was!

"Relax, it's everyone's first time. I'll be on stage even earlier than you later," Xu Fang comforted her.

The boy felt much more relaxed. He didn't know Xu Fang, but seeing that he was gentle and easy to talk to, he mustered up his courage and asked, "Senior, are you also from the Qing Campus?"

"No, the main campus."

The boy looked on with awe: "Wow, that's impressive. I heard that you need at least an intermediate level to get into our school's main campus. How is your cultivation level, senior?"

"good."

As Xu Fang was speaking, he heard his name being called over the loudspeaker: "Alright, I'm done chatting, I'm going online now."

Emerging from backstage, Xu strode to the center of the stage. The stands were packed with people, and a deafening roar of cheers erupted as he appeared.

The freshmen were taken aback by the enthusiastic reaction and instinctively joined in the shouting.

"No need to force yourself, just say a few words." Dean Xiao was indeed considerate, fearing that Xu Fang was unprepared, and whispered a word of advice.

Xu Fang nodded knowingly.

Ten minutes later...

"What is your aspiration?"

"We want to climb to the top step by step!"
