Reborn as the Candle Dragon, I became the strongest academy guardian beast.

Ningchuan City Third Hospital.

Intensive Care Unit.

A sum of two million yuan was deposited into patient Chu Lingxi's account for surgery.

The remitter was Qinglong Academy.

At the school's request, Chu Lingxi's medication was changed to the best available.

Inside the ward, Chu Yunfeng sat by the bed, gazing at his younger sister's pale face, which had finally regained some color, and a slight smile appeared on his lips:

"Lingxi, do you remember when I was little I told you that martial artists were cool, and that I wanted to become a martial artist to protect humanity when I grew up?"

"Brother did it! Brother became a student at Azure Dragon Academy!"

"That's right, it's the Azure Dragon Academy, one of the four great academies!"

Chu Lingxi lay on the hospital bed with her eyes closed, offering no response.

Although Qinglong Academy has found the best doctors, the hospital estimates that her chances of waking up are still less than 20%.

Chu Yunfeng held Chu Lingxi's slightly cold hand, his eyes reddening:

"I promise you, I will become a powerful martial artist that you can be proud of in the future."

"So, you have to promise your brother you'll wake up, okay?"

Chu Yunfeng wiped away his tears, put down his sister's hand, and slowly stood up.

His gaze became unusually firm.

Although the Chu family was poor, they never forgot the principles of being a good person.

returning a Favour many times more.

From this day forward, Chu Yunfeng's life belongs to the Azure Dragon Academy!

……

Qinglong Academy.

Principal's Office.

"C-grade martial soul, first tier, fifth level."

"C-grade Martial Soul, first tier, ninth level."

"Rank B Martial Soul, Second Tier, Third Level..."

Zheng Yuanshan was looking at the student list with a worried expression.

"The results of this year's awakening ceremony were even worse than we expected."

Just half an hour ago, the Education Bureau suddenly issued a notice.

A Tier 2 insect hive instance has appeared around Ningchuan City.

Three hundred years after the arrival of all races, low-level dungeons have become increasingly rare.

The Education Bureau has decided to open up the instance, providing a training opportunity for students below Tier 2.

Since all schools in the city will participate, the quota is limited to 3 people per school.

Upon learning the news, Zheng Yuanshan went through the entire school's list from beginning to end, but still couldn't find a suitable candidate.

Just as he was worrying, a huge black shadow suddenly appeared from the office window, its snake-like eyes shining with golden light like the moon.

"Old Su? You're back?" Zheng Yuanshan was taken aback when he saw Su Chen and opened the office window.

"Hmm," Su Chen said, "For this instance, I have a few recommended candidates."

On the way back to Qinglong Academy with Chu Yunfeng, Su Chen happened to hear about the opening of the dungeon, so he went straight to the principal's office.

"Really? Who is it?!" Zheng Yuanshan's eyes lit up upon hearing this.

Su Chen asked, "Do you remember the two people I asked you for yesterday?"

"I remember." Zheng Yuanshan frowned.

Yesterday, Su Chen asked him for two students, saying that he would give them individual guidance in the future.

These two people are Lin Fan from Martial Arts Class 2 and Xu Liyue from Martial Arts Class 6.

Both of them had good martial arts talent, but unfortunately, their awakened martial souls were somewhat unsatisfactory; one had an E-rank martial soul, and the other had an F-rank martial soul.

Zheng Yuanshan couldn't understand why Su Chen was interested in these two people, even after thinking about it all day.

"The people I recommended are them, plus... this kid." Su Chen glanced at Chu Yunfeng beside him.

"Is this the boy you just contacted to ask the school to sponsor his medical expenses?" Zheng Yuanshan paused, then asked, "Old Su, are you sure you're not joking?"

"In this instance, the Education Bureau will rank the performance of each school, which will directly affect the reputation of Qinglong Academy and the future allocation of resources."

Two of them have talents below level E, and one of them isn't even a student at Azure Dragon Academy.

Entrusting such a precious spot to these three people would be something no principal would ever agree to.

Faced with Zheng Yuanshan's question, Su Chen didn't say anything, but simply nodded the snake's head: "I know."

Zheng Yuanshan gazed silently at Su Chen's calm, vertical golden pupils for a long time.

Finally, he took a deep breath, nodded, and said in a calm but firm tone, "I understand. I will submit the list."

Zheng Yuanshan believed in Su Chen.

If it weren't for this unwavering trust, he wouldn't have gone against all odds to ask Su Chen to become the guardian beast of the Azure Dragon Academy.

"Thank you," Su Chen said calmly.

"If we can get good results, I'll thank you profusely!" Zheng Yuanshan waved his hand and laughed heartily.

This is the tacit understanding between men.

No further explanation is needed.

A promise is a promise, as weighty as Mount Tai.

Zheng Yuanshan decided to abandon his thoughts, sit in his office, brew a pot of tea, and wait for good news.

……

Back at school, Lin Fan and Xu Liyue had just returned from the library.

Su Chen explained the situation to the two of them.

He first introduced Chu Yunfeng to Lin Fan and Xu Liyue.

The three were then informed that they would be representing the Azure Dragon Academy to undergo training in the Insect Nest instance.

Since awakening their martial souls, Lin Fan and Xu Liyue have not yet engaged in any actual combat.

Upon hearing the news, both of them seemed very excited.

Welcome to Azure Dragon Academy!

Lin Fan grasped Chu Yunfeng's hand.

Xu Liyue smiled slightly in welcome.

After a long wait of more than an hour, the dungeon is finally about to open.

The three of them boarded the teleportation array.

Because he was really worried, Zheng Yuanshan still ran out of his office and told the three of them, "In recent years, there have been quite a few schools that are hostile to Qinglong Academy. If you encounter danger, prioritize your own safety and don't worry too much about your grades."

"Yes." Lin Fan nodded. "Don't worry, Principal. As students of Azure Dragon Academy, we neither cause trouble nor are we afraid of trouble!"

With a flash of light, the three disappeared from the teleportation array.

"That kid Lin Fan has really mastered my skills."

"When I have time, I need to have him explain the same principles I taught him to Xu Liyue and Chu Yunfeng as well..."

Su Chen smiled, feeling a powerful force surging within his body.

After investing in Chu Yunfeng, he gained another 40,000 evolution points.

With the addition of the evolution points returned by Lin Fan and Xu Liyue for their increased strength, he has accumulated nearly 50,000 evolution points!

Not long after Su Chen broke through to the Fear level, he faintly sensed signs that he was about to break through again.

Taking advantage of the three people's departure, he planned to go into seclusion for a period of time to see if he could break through to the fifth-tier lord level.

Su Chen slowly curled up his enormous snake body, burying his huge snake head inside his body, as if he had fallen into a deep sleep, his snake eyes closed.

At the same time, he opened the system panel and silently prayed, "System, give me some points!"
