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

Everyone was already quite scared, but now they were even more frightened after hearing this.

Good heavens, his eyes almost popped out of his head from staring.

Who is Qi Huanyu?

That's one of the top experts in the Dragon Kingdom!

Even the bigwigs from powerful organizations and military leaders sitting next to him had to address him respectfully as Elder Qi.

And him, he just keeps talking about Old Deng??

At this, not only the students, but even the big shots next to Qi Huanyu almost spat out a mouthful of blood.

Only Qi Huanyu knew that Lu Yun was deliberately retaliating against him.

However, he adored the child; as for how he addressed him? That was just a name.

"Who is he calling, Old Deng? Dean Qi?"

"Is he insane? He dares to call Dean Qi 'Elder Deng'??? Does he have a death wish?"

"Even if he can instantly kill a unicorn, he's still a freshman, right? Dean Qi is a legendary powerhouse!"

"He's gone mad... Lu Yun must be insane..."

The students were terrified, their faces pale and trembling. Even Zhao Qing and the others were filled with astonishment.

However, the expected rage did not materialize. Instead, Dean Qi, the top expert, tossed him a ring with an even wider smile.

"You're number one on the leaderboard; this is the promised reward."

Everyone's jaws nearly dropped when they saw this.

"No, you didn't get angry???"

"Dean Qi actually...didn't lay a hand on him???"

"How is this possible???"

The students were completely dumbfounded, even more shocked than if they had seen a dragon.

But the other bigwigs around Qi Huanyu got tired of it.

Shatter him?

With such a little darling as a disciple, who wouldn't treat him like a precious gem, afraid of him melting in their mouth or breaking in their hands?

Consequently, everyone looked at Qi Huanyu with even more sorrow.

At this point, who cares about shady, useless professions? Being awesome is all that matters.

However, some sharp-eyed people still noticed something was wrong with Lu Yun.

"Old Qi, you're really generous! That headgear was dropped by a level 300 boss you defeated when you were young, right? I remember it took more than thirty teams to get it, didn't it?"

"And his robes, wasn't that what you always wore? Old Wu wanted to borrow them, and you said you'd keep them as a family heirloom, but you gave them away?"

Qi Huanyu hummed smugly.

"They're young people, you should be understanding."

"..."

Everyone was speechless, but felt even more resentful.

"That child, Zhaolin... is so pitiful."

"I think I should suggest he get a paternity test done, just in case he was adopted somewhere."

Hearing the sarcastic remarks from the crowd, Qi Huanyu twitched his lips and said.

"Stop talking nonsense, where's my precious apprentice's reward? Hand it over right now."

Upon hearing this, everyone clicked their tongues in resentment.

Before, he called her "little disciple," but now he's called her "precious apprentice."

Qi Huanyu chuckled as he accepted the spatial rings offered by the crowd, then looked at the astonished students below the stage and waved to summon the points leaderboard.

"This year's freshman competition, first place goes to Lu Yun."

"Second place, Mu Qingcheng."

"..."

Qi Huanyu read the list aloud while pressing down on the corners of his mouth.

Although Imperial Academy always comes in first place, none of them have been as satisfying as this year.

Compared to the fact that Imperial Academy swept the top five spots, he was even happier about Lu Yun's impressive performance.

With such promising talents in the Dragon Kingdom, how can they not take off?

Seeing this, the other students naturally had nothing to say.

Lu Yun's points are far ahead of the leader, and even Li Zi'an, who is in fifth place, has more than twice the points of Li Zhenghao, who is in sixth place. What do they have to compare?

Aside from sorrow, there was only shock.

"Alright, the top ten have been announced. When you get back to school, submit the career traits you need, and the academy will create a custom outfit for you based on your ranking."

Mu Qingcheng and the others were very happy. The exclusive set was definitely more suitable for them than sets of the same rarity.

Lu Yun received another wave of rewards from Qi Huanyu, and then traded the equipment dropped by the unicorn to Xu Qingmeng.

He looked at these two pieces of equipment; they were level 150 silver magic-type equipment with all-attribute amplification, which was excellent.

But he can't wear it.

Because both of these pieces of equipment are designed specifically for women.

It seems that equipment after level 150 is now divided into male and female versions, unlike before when it was unisex.

Xu Qingmeng was initially hesitant, but after seeing that it was for women only, she decided not to refuse.

Moreover, judging from the pictures, this dress is very pretty, and it would definitely look great on me.

After Xu Qingmeng carefully put away the equipment with her pretty face flushed, her big eyes crinkled into crescent moons with laughter.

"I'm already level 131, I'll be able to wear this equipment soon, and then..."

Xu Qingmeng said in a low voice, unable to contain her shyness.

"When I reach level 150, I'll wear it for you... okay...?"

To be honest, Lu Yun almost lost his composure.

He truly never expected that Xu Qingmeng, who was hailed as the Ice Queen, would have such a girlish side.

"Okay, I'll wait."

"Uh-huh……"

Xu Qingmeng lowered her head, looking just like a shy young wife. Lu Yun couldn't help but pinch her little nose.

"By the way, you're level 131 now, you should be able to use your mount now, right?"

"Yes, I've already learned it... and my attributes have increased significantly."

Xu Qingmeng shyly turned her head away and quickly blocked Lu Yun's large hand that was about to tease her.

"Hey, stop messing around... there are still people here..."

Mu Qingcheng and the other woman just pursed their lips in silence.

"You guys chat, we're going to upgrade."

"Oh, by the way, thank you."

The two didn't want to be fed dog food (a Chinese slang term for witnessing public displays of affection), so they quickly ran away, while Li Zian laughed heartily.

"Brother Yun! I'm level 128 now! I can learn to ride mounts too! Haha! My pink pony! It's super cool, let me tell you!"

Li Zian wanted to show off, but there were too many people around, so he wanted to keep it to himself and show it to Lu Yun later. For now... he had to run!

Why not run away and wait to be fed dog food?

Lu Yun glanced at the experience bar, which only had 10% left to level up, and then looked at Xu Qingmeng and smiled.

"Go back and level up first, then quickly put on that robe. I have a feeling you'll look absolutely stunning in it!"

Xu Qingmeng was stunned for a moment.

"Are you leaving again?"

"Yes, I still have a lot to do."

Although reluctant, Xu Qingmeng could only nod, suppressing her longing.

"Then... be careful."

Lu Yun smiled gently.

"Don't worry, I'm tough as nails, I won't die."

Even setting aside the fact that he has a substitute straw man, he can't die even with his indestructible golden body.

Thinking of this, he controlled the Starlight Dragon to fly to the front of the platform, hugged Xu Qingmeng, jumped onto the platform, and laughed.

"Old Deng, I need to take a leave of absence. I have some errands to run, so I can't attend class for now."

The academy didn't offer many academic courses, and Lu Yun didn't need to attend other monster-hunting knowledge classes either; whether he learned them or not was up to him.

"Okay, then be careful."

Lu Yun rubbed Xu Qingmeng's head, and although he didn't say anything, his meaning was quite clear.

"Alright, I'm leaving now."

"Wait a moment."

Qi Huanyu called out to him.

"Remember to come back when you're done with what you're doing."

Lu Yun's eyes narrowed slightly.

"What happened?"

Qi Huanyu slightly suppressed his smile.

"Many countries have started sending newcomers to challenge the Tower of Gods, which is very unfavorable for our Dragon Kingdom. Among them, the Flower Kingdom is making the most noise."

Lu Yun chuckled.

"A bunch of uncivilized barbarians. Since they don't want to live a good life, then let them not live one. It's a good opportunity to settle old scores and new grudges all at once."

Lu Yun patted Xu Qingmeng's head and said.

"However, the matter I need to handle is a bit complicated."

Qi Huanyu extended one finger.

"At most a week."

"A week?"

Lu Yun raised an eyebrow and smiled.

"That's enough."
