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

Everyone instinctively looked back.

It was Qian Jiayu and Qian Cheng, who both looked arrogant.

Upon seeing the four people, everyone's expression changed immediately. It was clear that the Qian family's reputation was not very good, and even the discussions became much quieter.

"This is Qian Jiayu, the third most important figure in the Qian family's new generation. I heard he has a gold-level professional skill and is extremely powerful."

"Qian Jiayu's expression clearly indicates he's up to no good. Do these two have a grudge?"

"Who exactly is this Lu Yun? How does he know the Mu family and have a grudge against the Qian family?"

"Who knows... Quickly step back, if you mess with this guy, you won't have a good four years of college."

Qian Jiayu ignored the surrounding chatter with a disdainful look, put his hands in his pockets, walked up to Lu Yun, tilted his head and looked him up and down.

"So your name is Lu Yun?"

Upon seeing this, Xu Qingmeng instinctively hugged Lu Yun's arm tightly, then glared angrily at Qian Jiayu.

Xu Qingmeng felt a deep-seated disgust for this person who coveted her and used foul language.

Li Zian instinctively reached for his weapon, but Lu Yun stopped him.

Lu Yun gently patted Xu Qingmeng's small hand, raised his eyebrows slightly, looked him up and down, and smiled.

Who are you?

Qian Jiayu's face darkened, and he sneered.

"You're pretty impressive, aren't you? You've already forgotten what you did yesterday?"

"What is it?"

"you?"

Seeing Lu Yun's amused look, Qian Jiayu's eyelids twitched, and he immediately flew into a rage.

This is forcing him to admit that he died at his hands. Isn't this just blatantly trying to humiliate him in public?

Qian Jiayu laughed in anger.

"Heh, don't be stubborn. If you make an enemy of me and the Qian family, you're as good as dead."

Lu Yun pursed his lips.

"I have plenty of enemies, who do you think you are?"

These words immediately drew gasps of surprise from the audience.

"Holy crap... this guy's really brave, daring to talk to Qian Jiayu like that?"

"Is he really that powerful? Daring to disregard the Qian family? The Qian family is the third-ranked super clan!"

"This is going to be good. This kid is going to die today!"

Many people began to gloat, and this was definitely not because of the fact that Mu Shihhan and other beauties had taken the initiative to talk to him.

Qian Jiayu's face darkened with anger, and he trembled with rage. He then pulled out his hand with a sinister grin.

"Fine...fine...fine...you're really asking for it, since..."

"Qian Jiayu?"

Just as Qian Jiayu was about to draw his sword, a pleasant female voice suddenly came from behind him.

The onlookers were startled, and their expressions changed drastically when they looked over.

"Holy crap?! That's... Zhao Qing???"

"My God... Yes, it's Zhao Qing from the Zhao family and Qi Sheng from the Qi family! My God... Counting Goddess Shi Han, five of the ten major families in the capital have arrived!"

"What's the occasion today? Why are so many beautiful women and important figures here? And they all seem to be connected to Lu Yun?"

"She's not here to rescue Lu Yun, is she? You're not kidding, are you?"

Seemingly to confirm the doubts of those around her, Zhao Qing, expressionless, led her people over. She first nodded to Xu Qingmeng, and then they all looked at Qian Jiayu.

"Qian Jiayu, this is Imperial Capital Academy. Today is the first day of school."

"What? You want to lay a hand on a new student in front of the dean, other teachers, and parents, just to show off the Qian family's overwhelming power?"

Qian Jiayu's face was ashen, and he wished he could slap Zhao Qing to death.

"Zhao Qing...is your Zhao family going against my Qian family?"

He didn't believe that the Zhao family, with their capabilities, wouldn't know what had happened, especially since they had all entered that secret realm.

But now, she still has to stand up for an orphan from a remote mountain village and embarrass him in public. How can he tolerate that?

Seeing that Qian Jiayu was about to make a desperate move, Qian Cheng quickly pulled Qian Jiayu back and whispered something to him.

"Brother, let it go. Everyone's watching. If we really make a move in public, even though our family isn't afraid, it will bring a lot of trouble and public pressure to the family."

This is, after all, the Imperial Capital Academy, and the Qian family is not the only powerful family here. Qian Cheng's reminder calmed Qian Jiayu down.

And now that I think about it, Zhao Qing and the others' attitude was too strange.

They are one of the top ten powerful families, so why would they know people from the trashy, remote mountains of the Northern Region?

This is very abnormal.

This inevitably reminded him of Mu Caiwei. Perhaps there was something wrong with the relationship between Xu Qingmeng and Mu Caiwei, which is why Zhao Qing risked offending him to side with Lu Yun.

Seeing Qian Jiayu gradually calm down, his expression shifting between light and dark, Qian Cheng quickly spoke up.

"Brother, he has to stay here for four years, and the chief competition is coming up soon. We have too many opportunities to kill him. There's no need to offend the dean at this time."

Qian Jiayu thought about it and agreed, then sneered and looked at Lu Yun with disdain.

"Kid, you're lucky today."

"Idiot."

Qian Jiayu trembled with anger and broke down. If Qian Cheng hadn't been holding his arm down, he would have chopped this gray-haired trash mage in half with a single blow.

"Brother, let's go, the conference is about to start."

Qian Cheng and the other two glared fiercely at Lu Yun, then quickly helped Qian Jiayu away.

Seeing this, Zhao Qing and the others didn't even bother to roll their eyes.

"A bunch of idiots. The Qian family will fall sooner or later because of their arrogance."

Zhao Qing muttered a disdainful remark before turning to look at Lu Yun and the other person.

She first nodded to Lu Yun as a polite greeting, then her icy expression melted as she looked at Xu Qingmeng.

"Xu, my name is Zhao Qing, and I'm also a freshman. We'll be classmates from now on."

Xu Qingmeng was stunned when she saw the outstretched little hand.

What's going on? I don't know her either.

I think... I saw him once, right at the portal entrance?

Why does it feel like... she and the group of people behind her... their eyes are filled with such a mixture of goodwill and... malicious flattery?

Xu Qingmeng shook hands with her, her face full of questions, and then looked up at Lu Yun.

Lu Yun was also confused at this moment. He thought that Zhao Qing had brought people to him to curry favor and to show that she would keep her promise.

As a result, they went directly to Xu Qingmeng?

"Xu, I'm older than you by birthday, so I'll take the liberty of calling you 'little sister' from now on. You can come to us for anything you need."

As she spoke, Zhao Qing took out a spatial ring and smiled as she placed it into her hand.

"Qingmeng, it's a pleasure to meet you. This is just a small token of my appreciation. Please don't find it offensive."

"Qingmeng, I am Qi Sheng. It's nice to meet you. I have a little something for you. I hope you like it."

Qi Sheng and the others, all smiles, placed rings into Xu Qingmeng's hands, not only deceiving her.

Even the students around them gradually became astonished.

"What, what's going on? The current generation of the four great families are all sending her gifts?"

"Xu Qingmeng? Whose young lady is she? Is she even more powerful than the top ten families?"

"Holy crap... this is outrageous. I need to check this out. This woman is too amazing."

Listening to the astonished discussions of his classmates, and watching Xu Qingmeng staring increasingly bewildered at the ring in her palm, Lu Yun glanced at Zhao Qing, then at the gazes of the others, and suddenly, he guessed the reason.

No way... these people... they wouldn't mistake Qingmeng for me, would they?

No way...

Holy crap, this is kind of surreal...

Lu Yun was both amused and exasperated. Seeing Xu Qingmeng's pleading look, he gave her a reassuring look.

With Lu Yun's reassurance, Xu Qingmeng felt much more at ease and then smiled.

Thank you, everyone.

Upon hearing this, Zhao Qing and the others were overjoyed, and their smiles deepened considerably.

"You're welcome. Feel free to contact us anytime if you need anything; anyone can help."

Zhao Qing and the others tactfully followed Zhao Yong'an's instructions, only sending gifts and making greetings without causing any further disturbance.

So after exchanging a few pleasantries, they left.

Seeing that the beautiful girls had all left, the surrounding students automatically dispersed.

However, the fact that beautiful girls like Mu Shih-han knew Lu Yun still became a topic of discussion among the male students, who were filled with envy and jealousy.

Xu Qingmeng looked at Lu Yundao blankly.

"Lu Yun... what's going on?"

"Yeah, Brother Yun, what happened? What's going on? I've only missed a few episodes, am I already behind the times?"

Lu Yun was both amused and exasperated.

"It's nothing, it was just... a beautiful misunderstanding."

He understood what Zhao Qing and the others meant. Although their target was wrong, it would be a good thing if they were willing to help Xu Qingmeng.

He has now completely offended the Qian family, and Qian Jiayu has always coveted Xu Qingmeng. If Zhao Qing and others could protect Xu Qingmeng openly or secretly, it would save him a lot of trouble.

In that case, he could attack the Qian family without any scruples.

"Attention all new students! The opening ceremony is about to begin! Please find your places and stand in line!"

Just then, the loudspeaker came on, and Lu Yun and Xu Qingmeng found an empty spot and stood there.

On the main stage, a group of teachers and college leaders sat behind tables, looking at the students below with smiles on their faces.

At the front, a female teacher holding a microphone saw everyone standing in line and began to speak with a smile.

Welcome everyone!

"Next, please give a warm round of applause to Dean Qi of the Imperial Capital Academy, who will say a few words to us!"

Upon hearing this, everyone's eyes lit up.

Dean Qi is a legend of Imperial Capital Academy, an incredibly powerful top-tier figure. His existence can be considered the cornerstone of Imperial Capital Academy.

The crowd applauded excitedly, and an elderly man with completely white hair and wearing a white robe slowly walked up the stairs to the main stage amidst the applause.

When Lu Yun saw him, he couldn't help but smile, because he had a guess, but it hadn't been confirmed yet.

"Welcome to Imperial Capital Academy, everyone."

"Those who can come here are all the chosen ones, the hope for the future of the Dragon Kingdom. With you, the Dragon Kingdom will surely become stronger. I hope that in the next four years, you will work hard to learn skills, level up, and win glory for the country."

Upon hearing this, everyone immediately clapped excitedly.

The old man smiled and gestured for silence. Just as he was about to speak after the silence, Qian Jiayu, who was standing at the front, suddenly reached out and spoke.

"Dean! I have a question!"

Seeing this, the old man was not angry, and still looked at him with a smile.

"What questions do you have? Tell me."

Upon hearing this, Qian Jiayu pointed indignantly at Lu Yun in the crowd behind him.

"You said that those of us who can enter the Imperial Capital Academy are all the chosen ones, and I agree with that. After all, the worst of those who can enter the Imperial Capital Academy are professionals with a black rarity."

"But him! How could a mere gray-level mage like him get into the Imperial Capital Academy?"

"What???"

These words immediately caused an uproar at the scene.
