Qin Shan pointed to Li Kaishan and introduced him: "Student Su, this is Director Li from the Beijing Municipal Education Bureau. He came here specifically to see you."

Su Qianxue greeted him politely, "Hello, Director Li."

Li Kaishan remained silent, his eyes fixed on Su Qianxue as if trying to see right through her.

Then, his gaze fell on the tabby cat dozing on the sofa.

"Is this the... tabby cat?" Li Kaishan's voice trembled slightly.

He took out a sophisticated detector from his pocket and shone it on the tabby cat.

Drop drop!

The detector emitted a piercing alarm, and the pointer on it instantly spiked.

Li Kaishan's expression changed, from shock to ecstasy, and finally to deep awe.

"Mythical level... I didn't expect to reach mythical level so quickly!"

Having lived most of his life, this was the first time he had ever seen a wild mythical-level contracted beast, especially one that had evolved from a very ordinary tabby cat.

Li Kaishan said excitedly, "Su, do you want to go to Imperial University? If you nod, I can issue you a special admission letter right now!"

The surrounding teachers were stunned.

A special admission notice! That's something so many people dream of but can't have.

Su Qianxue didn't seem too excited. She asked calmly, "Besides the acceptance letter, what other benefits are there?"

Li Kaishan was stunned for a moment, then burst into laughter.

"You've got personality! I like it! If you come, your tuition will be completely waived, you'll receive a one million dollar scholarship every year, and in addition, the first three levels of the Imperial Capital University's resource database will be open to you!"

Upon hearing the words "resource library," Su Qianxue's eyes lit up.

Those are all rare and precious treasures that she dreamed of in her previous life.

"Okay, I agree."

"Great!" Li Kaishan was overjoyed. "If everything is ready, we can set off today."

"There's one more thing I haven't taken care of. If you can help me with that, I can leave," Su Qianxue said.

"What is it?" Li Kaishan was in a great mood and waved his hand. "As long as I can do it, it's not a problem."

Su Qianxue did not speak.

Principal Qin Shan's smile froze on his face. He immediately explained the matter and said that he was doing his best to handle it.

Su Qianxue also knew that Principal Qin Shan was afraid of offending the Lin family.

Li Kaishan's gaze fell on the token, his brows furrowed, and he looked up at Su Qianxue.

"Yes, Director Li, the principal is right." Su Qianxue's voice was calm, as if she were stating something unrelated to herself. "They arranged for a fourth-level martial artist to enter the freshman trial secret realm, intending to kill me."

"What! How dare you be so bold?"

The loud shout did not come from Qin Shan, but from Li Kaishan.

He slammed his hand on the table, causing the expensive solid wood desk to groan in pain, and the water glass on it to bounce.

"Qin Shan!" Li Kaishan's face was as black as the bottom of a pot. "This is the academy under your jurisdiction? A rare genius of the empire was almost killed on your turf by someone sent by a third-rate family! And you're still here pretending nothing happened!"

His voice wasn't loud, but every word struck Qin Shan's heart like a heavy hammer. The other teachers in the office were so frightened that they didn't dare to breathe.

Qin Shan was covered in sweat, his lips trembling as he said, "Director Li, I... I've already started investigating. That tutor, Wang Hai, has already fled to avoid punishment..."

"Fleeing?" Li Kaishan laughed angrily. "A tutor, a local family, and they think they can pull off something like this right under your nose? Investigate? How long are you going to investigate? Are you going to wait until Su's body is completely cold before giving her an explanation?"

He stopped looking at Qin Shan, took out his phone, and dialed a number.

The call was answered almost instantly.

"Investigate the Lin family in Tiannan City, and a college tutor named Wang Hai. They colluded with outsiders to assassinate specially recruited freshmen in an official secret location. I need to see the results within ten minutes."

After saying that, he hung up the phone immediately; the whole process took no more than ten seconds.

The office was so quiet you could hear a pin drop.

Qin Shan stood there, his face alternating between pale and flushed. He knew that this matter had already exceeded his control.

Li Kaishan's influence in the capital city far surpasses that of a mere local college principal.

Yi Chen shifted his position on the sofa, lazily opened his eyes, and glanced at the imposing man in the black trench coat.

Hmm, this guy's actually pretty loyal.

Less than ten minutes later, Li Kaishan's phone vibrated.

He glanced at it, his expression returned to calm, and he put the phone back in his pocket.

"Wang Hai was arrested at an abandoned factory ten kilometers outside the city and has confessed everything." He looked at Su Qianxue, his tone softening. "Lin Jun, the head of the Lin family, has been taken into custody by the Municipal Security Bureau, and none of the related personnel will escape. All of the Lin family's assets have been frozen, pending further trial."

Swift and decisive, clean and efficient.

A powerful family in Tiannan City was wiped out within ten minutes of Li Kaishan's single phone call.

Su Qianxue nodded; this was the result she wanted. Dealing with this kind of person, any hesitation or mercy would be cruel to oneself.

"Thank you, Director Li."

"It's what I should do." Li Kaishan looked at her, his appreciation returning, even with a touch of admiration. "You're very good. You're not only talented, but also intelligent and courageous. Tiannan City is not a suitable place for you. Pack your things and come with me this afternoon."

……

In the afternoon, Su Qianxue returned to her dormitory.

Her luggage was very simple, consisting of only a small backpack.

Yichen squatted on the bed, watching her stuff a few changes of clothes into her bag, and couldn't help but call out.

"Meow?" [Where's my braised fish? Is it available in Beijing? Is it as good as this one in Tiannan City?]

Su Qianxue stopped what she was doing, picked him up, and rubbed his little head.

"Don't worry, once we get to the capital, I'll let you eat every day until you're as fat as a cat."

She took one last look at the place where she had settled down after her rebirth, without any lingering feelings, and turned to leave the dormitory.

On the academy's helipad, the helicopter's rotors had already begun to spin, creating huge gusts of air.

Qin Shan stood to the side, looking at Su Qianxue with a complicated expression: "Student Su, have a safe journey. The academy... I'm sorry."

Su Qianxue simply nodded slightly, hugged Yichen, and boarded the plane without looking back.

The cabin door closed, and the helicopter slowly took off.

Tiannan City shrank in the field of vision until it became a blurry outline.

Su Qianxue leaned against the window, watching the mountains and rivers rushing past below, a sense of peace filling her heart.

Goodbye, Tiannan City.

This is just the beginning of her path of revenge.

"How are you feeling?" Li Kaishan sat opposite her and handed her a bottle of water.

"very good."

"Heh, this is just the beginning." Li Kaishan unscrewed his water bottle and took a sip. "You think 50,000 points, third-tier strength, and a mythical-quality contracted beast are all that great?"

Su Qianxue looked at him.

"In Tiannan City, you are indeed in a class of your own. But looking at the entire Dragon Soaring Empire, or even the entire Azure Continent, there are many geniuses like you."

Li Kaishan's expression turned serious.

"The Imperial Academy in the capital gathers the empire's most outstanding young people. As far as I know, there are a few monsters among this year's freshmen. At the age of eighteen, they are already sixth-level martial artists, and their contracted beasts have evolved to the 'King level.' Some are even born with spiritual bodies, and their cultivation speed is ten times that of ordinary people."

A sixth-tier martial artist, a king-level contracted beast!

Su Qianxue's heart skipped a beat.

When she perished in her previous life, she was only a fifth-level martial artist at the age of eighteen, and her contracted beast, the Ice Phoenix, had barely reached the threshold of the King level.

And that senior sister who betrayed her was even more talented than her. So many years have passed, what level has she reached now?

"Your approach, which involves cultivating your own martial arts while simultaneously raising a contracted beast, is known as 'dual cultivation of martial arts and martial arts,'" Li Kaishan continued. "This is the most difficult yet most powerful path. Many people give up on either one halfway through, and only one in ten thousand can persevere. But every successful one is invincible among their peers. The academy's resources will be tilted towards you, and I hope you won't disappoint me."

Su Qianxue gripped Yichen's hand, her knuckles tightening slightly.

She not only wants to keep going, but she wants to reach the very top!

"One month later, there will be the Imperial Capital Royal Academy's freshman arena competition, which will be your first battle to establish yourself. Three months later, there will be the 'Youth Beast Tamer Championship,' jointly organized by the four major empires of the Azure Continent: the Dragon Soaring Empire, the Ice Phoenix Empire, the Blazing Sun Empire, and the Senluo Empire. That will be the real battle of dragons and tigers, where geniuses from all over the world will gather."

Li Kaishan looked at the flame burning in Su Qianxue's eyes and nodded in satisfaction.

What he wanted was this kind of indomitable ambition.

Yi Chen lay on Su Qianxue's black-stockinged thighs, listening to their conversation, and yawned.

[King-level? Is that powerful? After I evolve twice more, I'll take them all down with one swipe. Right now, I just want to know how many bones the fish in the capital have.]

During the more than one-hour flight, the scenery outside the window underwent a dramatic transformation.

The original mountains and sparse towns have disappeared, replaced by a futuristic city that cannot be described in words.

Towering buildings, thousands of meters high, pierce the clouds, connected by shimmering energy channels. Countless uniquely designed hovercars weave through them like schools of fish. A colossal holographic screen hangs in the sky, displaying various information, making the entire city seem like a giant, breathing living organism.

This is the center of the Dragon Empire, the imperial capital.
