I told you to change your skills, and you changed them into a nuclear explosion immortal?

"What's going on? They're fighting over a ticket?"

"What do you know!"

Qi Zhaolin was clearly annoyed.

"The legendary secret realm opens only once a year and is awarded to the top freshmen of each university."

"You need to understand that legendary dungeons drop level 100 or higher items of orange quality as the starting point. In a world where purple equipment is the norm, I think you know what orange quality represents!"

"The keys to the ten legendary secret realms are all in the hands of the ten top universities. Each key can only produce 10 tickets per year. One is reserved for the top student, so who do you think will get the other nine?"

Upon hearing this, Lu Yun's lips twitched, and he immediately understood what was going on.

The Dragon Kingdom has five regions, divided into east, south, west, north, and center.

The number of provinces under their jurisdiction varies, with the central region having the smallest area and only one province, or rather, only one city.

That is, the capital city.

But don't let its small size fool you; it's the most powerful first-tier city in the entire Dragon Kingdom, and also the core area of ​​power and resources.

Among them, the top ten families are the most outstanding, occupying nearly 4% of the resources of the Dragon Kingdom.

Each of them was a behemoth; the six major families who controlled 60% of the resources of the four northern provinces were less than ants in their presence.

This is the difference.

What Qi Zhaolin said couldn't be clearer: one card is the reward in name only, and naturally, the remaining nine cards will go to the ten major families.

According to Lu Yun's guess, the so-called top freshman who received the reward must also be from one of the top ten families.

In this way, a semblance of harmony can be maintained, and hope can be given to other "common people".

Now that Qi Zhaolin is trying to pull teeth out of the tiger's mouth, causing them to lose face, it's no wonder they're unhappy.

"By the way, aren't you from the Dragon Office?"

"What does this have to do with anything?"

Upon hearing this, Qi Zhaolin became even more furious.

"If I could use my connections in the Dragon Office to get a ticket, it would be easy, but do you think that's even possible?"

Lu Yun frowned slightly, keenly noticing that there were still many complex issues involved.

However, this doesn't seem to be something he needs to consider right now.

But ultimately it was because of himself that Qi Zhaolin and they had a rift.

"Thank you for your help this time, Minister Qi."

Hearing Lu Yun speak so seriously, Qi Zhaolin was taken aback, unsure where to vent his anger.

"Fine, I owe you one too."

Qi Zhaolin sighed.

"You must remember what I'm about to say, and think it through carefully."

Qi Zhaolin took a deep breath and spoke very seriously.

"Legend has it that the secret realm opens on a fixed day, which is why they treat it like their own backyard. But this year, something went wrong, and the key started working automatically, producing tickets."

"And the Elf Forest, which was originally scheduled to open three days after the start of the school term, will open at 8 a.m. tomorrow."

"According to reliable sources, the drops from this dungeon will be upgraded. Although the starting tier is still orange at level 100, there is a high chance of getting silver items, and there is also a chance of getting gold mythical items or equipment, as well as ruin tickets."

No wonder they fought over a ticket; it turns out it wasn't just a matter of saving face.

However, Qi Zhaolin clearly didn't want to explain this, so Lu Yun didn't say anything.

"Ha, if you had told me this today, you can forget about getting these tickets."

Qi Zhaolin grumbled irritably, then continued.

"I don't know if you're lucky or unlucky, sigh... Because of this change, all of their top talents this year will be there. If you run into them, try not to provoke them. It's not a matter of how strong you are."

"Of course, if there are any fools, it's fine to teach them a lesson, as long as they're not killed."

Lu Yun could understand that Qi Zhaolin's subsequent suggestion carried a hint of revenge.

He just didn't expect that the power of these ten great families could actually affect Qi Zhaolin.

"But you don't need to worry too much. Although those people are all arrogant, they come from prominent families and are still well-mannered."

"There aren't many."

"..."

Then what are you talking about...?

"Anyway, you decide what to do. Oh, by the way, there's a high chance that some of your old acquaintances will be in that group."

Qi Zhaolin's voice sounded a little strange when he talked about this.

"Just a heads-up, the leaders are all freshmen from the top ten universities who are aiming for the top spot this year."

"Among them are also freshmen from Imperial Capital Academy."

Oh, things seem to be getting interesting...

Lu Yun smiled and didn't take it seriously.

"Okay, I understand."

"Okay, I'm hanging up now. I've mailed you the tickets."

Lu Yun wanted to ask who sent it, but Qi Zhaolin was clearly about to hang up, and just before hanging up, he suddenly said something.

"You little brat, take this seriously!"

Hearing the dial tone, Lu Yun paused for a moment, then slowly raised one eyebrow, his face full of strangeness.

"That old Deng... he's up to no good."

Fortunately, there was still enough time, and with the speed of the Starlight Dragon, it was still quite easy.

……

Demon-Suppressing City.

At this moment, the Demon-Suppressing City was filled with suspicion, and there were no civilians on the streets, only patrolling soldiers and eager professionals.

In particular, the magic cannons that had been idle for a long time were all carried onto the city walls, pointing their swords at the monster plains, looking as if they were ready to die.

And just then...

Dozens of figures suddenly appeared in the teleportation tower of Demon Suppression City.

Their appearance startled the guards.

"Who goes there?!"

They were already on high alert due to Ye Zhengchu's orders, and were seeing threats everywhere.

The sudden appearance of someone naturally caused great tension.

However, at this moment, a lazy and disdainful voice slowly rang out.

"What's all the noise about? Are you blind?"

The man was tall and handsome, and clearly not very old, but he was dressed in very fancy clothes. What was most eye-catching was his fiery red hair.

At this moment, he was looking down at the group of astonished soldiers with his eyes lowered.

"Dare to point a weapon at me?"

The soldiers looked at his hair, then at his clothes, and immediately shuddered, quickly putting away their weapons.

"Zhou, the young master of the Zhou family? You, you are the young master of the Zhou family in the capital?"

Although Zhou Qiming had a cold face, his eyes were full of disdain.

"Not bad, you even got to know me."

"Alright, you'd better behave."

Only then did the soldier realize that there were at least thirty or forty people standing beside and behind him. They were dressed in fine clothes, both men and women, and they were staring at him and his men from above with expressionless faces.

It's obvious that these are all important figures from the capital.

The speaker was an extremely beautiful and aloof woman.

She frowned slightly, parted her lips, and spoke in an incredibly beautiful voice.

"Is Lord Ye here?"

Upon hearing this, the leading soldier instinctively shook his head.

"No, not there. There's been some unusual activity in the Demon Beast Plains. A powerful figure riding a giant skeletal dragon with a shimmering starlight mount has passed by. City Lord Ye is worried about something happening, so he has already taken people to the core area."

"A skeletal dragon mount? A real big shot?"

Upon hearing this, everyone was visibly taken aback.

"A dragon mount? Besides Grandpa Zhang, does our Dragon Kingdom have any other dragon mounts?"

"Could it be that those old monsters have reappeared? But I remember..."

"That big shot went to the core area? Does that mean we might run into him?"

"That's great! I've never seen a skeletal dragon before!"

"Me too, I hope we'll run into each other over there!"

Listening to the lukewarm discussion, the girl who spoke frowned slightly.

"Since Uncle Ye isn't here, let's go over there."

Upon hearing this, the leading soldier's pupils suddenly contracted.

These people call Lord Ye "uncle"—they are indeed important figures.

However, seeing that they still needed to use the teleportation array, the soldier quickly gritted his teeth and said...

"Um... the teleportation array has been sealed off. Although I don't know how you teleported here,... it's impossible to use it to get to the front lines now..."

Ye Zhengchu did this just to be on the safe side, since no one knew what the big shot's attitude would be until they met him.

Upon hearing this, the crowd remained unmoved.

"Then let's go by ourselves, we still have time."

The group quickly exited the teleportation tower and then summoned their flying mounts.

The most eye-catching thing is a huge gyrfalcon carrying a small house on its back.

Seeing this, many people ran up.

And so, under the soldiers' complex gazes, the group of young masters and ladies flew directly out of the city.
