He Fuke is undoubtedly the pride of Canglong Academy.

His reputation stems not only from his extraordinary talent that awakened ahead of time, but also from his profound resonance with the academy's sacred artifact—the Azure Dragon Stele—at the very beginning of his enrollment.

Those who gain the approval of the Azure Dragon Stele will receive the blessing of the ancient dragon energy remaining in the stele during their subsequent cultivation, making their cultivation speed several times faster than before.

He Fuke himself is an incredibly talented monster. With these two advantages, he has become the recognized future leader of the academy and a rising star in the Northern Spirit Master world.

This genius didn't just appear out of nowhere. Although he came from an ordinary family, his life had been smooth sailing ever since he displayed his amazing talent for cultivation.

With preferential treatment in resources, guidance from renowned teachers, and the respect of peers, they have almost never encountered any real setbacks.

Therefore, the occasional setbacks in a smooth life can be all the more profound.

Take, for example, the monthly purchase limit, where someone moves out of their home before they've even had a few meals.

Dragon Tendon Stewed with Snow Ginseng, despite its name, is indeed remarkably effective; Five Elements Gathering Soup is an excellent supplementary remedy for cultivation.

Even he was hesitant to take all the credit due to his reputation and power, so he pitifully waited for his monthly allowance, only to have it all taken away by someone else.

This was an absolute offense to He Fuke, who was used to having all the resources at his fingertips and everything going smoothly!

Admittedly, given He Fuke's terrifying potential and his resonance with the Azure Dragon Stele, the academy was initially reluctant to let him go out.

However, recently, the mentors have noticed a worrying trend – perhaps because his strength has increased too quickly, or perhaps because he has heard too much praise, this genius boy has begun to show signs of becoming restless.

During training, he was no longer as calm and focused as he was at the beginning, and in battle, he became more careless and showy.

Within the Azure Dragon Academy, no one of his peers could truly threaten him. Those senior students who could barely spar with him often had the advantage of age and experience, so even if they won, it wouldn't serve as a "lesson in terms of setbacks." Instead, it would only deepen his obsession with "I would definitely win if they weren't older."

If this continues, it may lead to disaster.

After careful consideration, the academy's leadership finally decided to allow him to join the exchange group that was going to Shanghai Academy.

They had also heard that the Magic City Academy had taken in a dazzling genius in this generation.

Given He Fuke's personality, they would eventually be able to match up without any special arrangements.

Without the blessing of the Azure Dragon Stele, He Fuke's strength was diminished, making the outcome of the battle uncertain.

Those flaws in combat that he usually overlooks will inevitably cause him to stumble badly at this moment, and may even lead to defeat. But the value of this "clear-headedness" far outweighs any temporary victory or defeat.

At this point, the Azure Dragon Academy reached a consensus.

To ensure everything went smoothly, they also specially assigned their mentor, Chen Zhen, to accompany them.

This mentor's contracted spirit beast, "Drunken Dream Butterfly," possesses extremely strong mental perception and soothing abilities, and can keenly detect the emotional fluctuations of the spirit master.

If He Fuke experiences excessive frustration, self-doubt, or other negative emotions due to his defeat, Instructor Chen can intervene and provide timely guidance. This is the extremely careful "insurance" that the academy has prepared for him.

And now, the one watching from the sidelines in the martial arts arena, eager to try his hand at it, is this very person.

Upon arriving, they discovered that the number of people at the Magic City Academy's martial arts arena was surprisingly small, far less than that of the Azure Dragon Academy!

Even during battle, some people were distracted and preoccupied with other things! Such a lax and unmotivated atmosphere in the academy.

He Fuke patiently watched several rounds, growing increasingly contemptuous of the game.

This kind of scum deserves to be part of that fine banquet? What a joke!

With a wave of his hand, he leaped onto the martial arts stage.

"Whoever can beat me gets these spirit crystals!"

"If you can't win, you'll stay and serve me for a month."

With a flick of his sleeve, he tossed out several mid-grade spirit crystals of considerable weight. Their dazzling light caused many people to breathe more heavily.

Finding Chef Huang and gathering the best ingredients for him both required manpower. These locals were naturally well-informed, so he came up with the idea of ​​using local ingredients.

He Fuke's tone was quite arrogant, which made most people more cautious and want to wait and see.

Of course, some people also took to the field.

"Little friend, don't cry if you lose the battle!"

The audience erupted in laughter.

He Fuke skipped a grade, so his face still had a round and youthful look, and he hated it when people said he was small.

He had initially maintained a sense of humility, being a newcomer and not wanting to be too arrogant, but in an instant, he became enraged and shouted, "Cloud Tail Strike, kill him instantly!"

"Next!"

The newcomer was a second-year student. His spirit beast, the Rock Armored Rhinoceros, was lacking in speed but excelled in defense. Spirit beasts of the same level would always have to fight for a long time to defeat him.

His "I'll take over" was delivered with a certain degree of confidence.

However, a figure that seemed to float like clouds and mist suddenly appeared, and with a move called "Dragon Tail Swing," it created a sonic boom in mid-air.

It's hard to imagine how such an ethereal figure could unleash such immense power.

The Rock Armor Rhinoceros's spirit master's expression changed drastically. He sensed something was wrong. The Rock Armor Rhinoceros's thickened defensive light had not yet fully stabilized when the attack from the other side arrived.

With a tremendous roar, the rock-armored rhinoceros's fragile waist and abdomen deflated slightly. He swayed and held on for a few seconds before collapsing.

"Rock-armored rhinoceros!"

With a cry of alarm, the spirit master disregarded everything else and rushed forward to heal his spirit beast.

He Fuke: "Who else would like to 'exchange ideas'?"

He slightly raised his chin, his voice clear and bright, yet carrying an undisguised disdain.

Beside him, a dragon-shaped spirit beast, about three meters long, covered with fine light blue scales, with a small bump on its head and sharp claws on its belly, was lazily floating in mid-air. It was surrounded by light clouds and water vapor, and its vertical pupils were half-open and half-closed, occasionally sweeping over the crowd below the stage with an indifferent look of superiority.

This is the rare spirit beast—the Cloud Dragon—bestowed upon him by the academy because of his resonance with the Azure Dragon Stele.

Although he is not yet an adult, the aura and potential bestowed upon him by the dragon bloodline have already made ordinary spirit beasts tremble with fear.

Just now, it was his seemingly casual "Cloud Tail Strike" that instantly killed the Rock Armored Rhinoceros, which was known for its defense. The whole process was so fast that it made people dizzy.

More and more students who had heard the news gathered around the arena.

However, the arena fell silent, and no one dared to step forward.

Many students looked shocked. They might not recognize the Cloud Dragon, a rare beast not listed in the usual encyclopedia, but the overwhelming pressure of its high-level race and its ability to kill instantly was enough to explain the situation.

Several of the stronger third- and fourth-year students exchanged glances with serious expressions.

They figured that if they went all out, they should be able to defeat the young dragon by using their superior level advantage, but the opponent's spirit master was too young... It would be unfair to bully the weak with the strong.

They don't want to go up unless absolutely necessary.

This silence was interpreted as cowardice by He Fuke.

He scoffed, his tone even sharper as he felt belittled for his age and resentful that the cook had been "kidnapped":

"What? Shanghai's academies are supposedly the best in the South, but nobody dares to come up and give me, this 'newbie,' some pointers?"

"Or is it that their reputation is all hype, and they don't actually have any real skills?"

His voice wasn't loud, but it carried clearly throughout the quiet training ground.

These words were like a pinch of salt, rubbing salt into the wounded pride of many students in Shanghai.

Several hot-tempered students were about to rush forward, but were held back by their companions—the other side was clearly using a provocation tactic, and the cloud dragon was indeed strange and powerful. If they went up rashly and lost again, they would only lose more face for the academy.

Just as the air froze and conflict was about to erupt—

"Wow, this place is quite lively. Shall I give it a try?"

A calm voice came from the periphery of the crowd.

Everyone instinctively looked in the direction of the sound and saw a handsome and calm black-haired boy walking over unhurriedly.

The phoenix behind him was magnificent and extraordinary, the white wolf had a calm demeanor, and the round tortoise at his feet was quite agile.
