Long Batian nodded with satisfaction upon hearing this.
The reason he brought up the Blood God Sect was to test Chu Chen, but he was very pleased with the latter's performance so far.
"Your performance in the exchange competition surprised me very much. I didn't expect your strength to be so formidable, completely overwhelming all the prodigies."
"This is all thanks to the Daoist School. Without its cultivation, I couldn't have come this far."
Upon hearing this, Long Batian nodded and said, "The Daoist School merely plays a supporting role. Ultimately, it all depends on the individual. After all, you're not the only one the Daoist School cultivates. What plans do you have next?"
Chu Chen smiled and said, "Continue working hard in cultivation and participate in the college entrance examination."
Long Batian laughed upon hearing this.
Chu Chen was puzzled and asked, "Why does the master laugh?"
Long Batian waved his hand and said, "Your vision is still too narrow. With your first-place title in the exchange competition, why should you take the college entrance examination? Look, what is this?" With that, he handed a document bag to Chu Chen.
Seeing this, Chu Chen quickly took it over. When he opened the document bag, he found a delicate cyan wooden box inside.
Taking the wooden box out, Chu Chen discovered that it was engraved with an extremely majestic Cyan Giant Dragon, with the words Cyan Dragon Academy inscribed beneath it.
Chu Chen carefully opened the wooden box and found five items inside.
The first item was a letter.
The second item was a cyan certificate.
The third item was a key.
The fourth item was two cards.
The fifth item was a token.
Chu Chen looked at Long Batian with some confusion.
The other party laughed and said, "Take your time. Once you finish, you'll understand."
Following this, Chu Chen opened the envelope, finding inside three pages filled with text.
Upon closer inspection, Chu Chen discovered that the letter was written by Long Qingfeng, the principal of Cyan Dragon Academy.
The content of the letter was not complicated, simply inviting Chu Chen to join Cyan Dragon Academy along with many attached benefits.
The second item was an admission letter from Cyan Dragon Academy.
The third item was a villa key from Cyan Dragon Academy, and considering Chu Chen's family situation, the school had even approved for his parents to move in to accompany his studies.
This was essentially unprecedented, showing how much effort Long Qingfeng had put into it.
The fourth item was a scholarship card worth one hundred million Alliance Coins and a campus card with ten thousand academy points.
It was said that academy points were very hard to acquire, only obtainable through academy rewards or by doing tasks.
Take, for example, Wang Lingfeng. The task reward for hosting Chu Chen and others was only ten campus points.
However, academy points had strong purchasing power nonetheless.
A First-Grade Star-Raising Fruit only required ten points, for instance.
The ten thousand points in Chu Chen's hand were worth at least several billion.
The last item was a Cyan Dragon Token, which only academy professors could possess. With it, you could get a twenty percent discount on all academy purchases, including academy points.
Chu Chen, after placing all the items back into the wooden box, couldn't help but marvel at Long Qingfeng's grand gesture, truly full of sincerity.
Seeing this, Long Batian laughed and asked, "So, would you be willing to go to Cyan Dragon Academy?"
Chu Chen nodded and said, "I am willing, but there's something I don't understand, and I hope the master can clarify."
"Oh? Let's hear it."
"Is Principal Long a member of the Dragon Race?"
Upon hearing this, Long Batian laughed heartily.
"Principal Long is my uncle. He entrusted me to ensure you must join the academy."
Hearing this, Chu Chen finally understood why these things ended up in Long Batian's hands.
Looking at the wooden box in his hand, Chu Chen felt a bit lost. He had worked so hard for all these years to pass the college entrance examination, only to find himself admitted early. It left him with a feeling like punching cotton.
Long Batian seemed to have guessed Chu Chen's thoughts and smiled as he asked, "Do you feel this all came too suddenly, leaving you somewhat confused now?"
Chu Chen nodded and said, "Indeed, but I won't slack off."
Long Batian waved his hand and said, "Don't worry. During this blank period before school starts, I've already arranged everything for you."
Chu Chen couldn't help but show a look of curiosity.
"Are you aware of the Celestial Dragon Training Camp we have at the Cyan Dragon Daoist School?"
Chu Chen nodded and replied, "I've heard a little, but I'm not clear on the specifics."
Long Batian laughed and said, "I've already added your name. A week from now, Elder Zhao will take you to report at the training camp."
Chu Chen was taken aback upon hearing this, not expecting the other party to have already made arrangements for him.
Long Batian continued, "Don't be surprised just yet, take a look at this." With that, he handed another document bag to Chu Chen.
Chu Chen quickly took it over and opened it, finding a new training contract inside, marked as Double S-level.
The rest of the content remained largely unchanged, except for the fact that cultivation capital increased from ten million to one billion per year, and the free-entry quota into secret realms rose to twenty times.
What delighted Chu Chen the most was that the exchange rights in the Daoist School's treasury had been elevated. He now had priority exchange rights, and the points consumed in exchanges would be discounted by twenty percent, with an additional ten thousand points granted.
Without any hesitation, Chu Chen immediately signed the contract.
After putting away one copy of the contract, Chu Chen handed the other back to Long Batian.
"I reviewed the materials provided by the branch. Lu Hongfei did not take you as his disciple. Have you taken anyone else as your teacher?" Long Batian suddenly asked.
Chu Chen shook his head and replied, "I have not taken a teacher."
Upon hearing this, Long Batian couldn't help but show a hint of joy as he slowly stood up and said with a smile, "Would you like to take me as your teacher?"
Chu Chen was stunned on the spot, having never thought the other party would seek to take him as a disciple.
Seeing Chu Chen unresponsive, Long Batian said somewhat displeased, "Is it that you don't wish to?"
Only then did Chu Chen return to his senses. He quickly stood up and respectfully replied, "I certainly wish to, sir. I was just shocked by the good news." With that, he knelt down and performed the apprenticeship ceremony.
Long Batian did not stop him, but rather watched with a smile on his face.
After the ceremony, Long Batian quickly helped Chu Chen up.
He patted Chu Chen's shoulder and said, "You are my first disciple, and these things here are your gifts for becoming my disciple." With that, he handed a Spatial Ring into Chu Chen's hands.
Chu Chen quickly and respectfully responded, "Thank you, Teacher."
Long Batian waved his hand and said, "No need to be so polite. Quickly see if you like the gifts I've prepared for you."
Chu Chen quickly checked and discovered that the space within this Spatial Ring was ten cubic meters, ten times larger than the one he currently had.
Inside the Spatial Ring were thousands of various Elixir Pills needed for cultivation, ranging from First Grade to Fifth Grade.
Besides the Elixir Pills, there were over a hundred types of Star Treasures, and even dozens of Heavenly and Earthly Treasures.
Next to these resources were a Beast Taming Egg and four wooden boxes.
Chu Chen began to take these items out to examine them one by one.
He first used the Slaughter Atlas to check the information on this Beast Taming Egg.
Star Beast Name: Cyan Vine Water Python
Life Level: Fetal Stage
Star Beast Quality: Perfect Level Upper Grade
Star Beast Attribute: Wood Element, Water Element
Seeing this, Long Batian smiled and explained, "When you were selecting treasures, Elder Zhao informed me about your selections. This is a Beast Taming Egg produced by a Cyan Vine Python with Cyan Dragon Bloodline. It is a control-type Guardian Beast and has certain healing abilities. If you use Soul Ascension Grass, you can contract it. Due to a tight schedule, I'm not sure if you'll like it."
Feeling moved, Chu Chen quickly replied, "Thank you, Teacher."
Long Batian pointed at the four wooden boxes and said, "No need to be polite with your teacher. Check the gifts in the wooden boxes."
Chu Chen quickly opened the remaining wooden boxes.
The first wooden box contained a porcelain bottle, and inside was refined Cyan Dragon Blood. If the Cyan Vine Python refines this Dragon Blood, it can awaken its Bloodline Power.
The second wooden box contained a round shield, a rare Defense-type Star Treasure.
It was apparent that Long Batian had prepared this specifically for Chu Chen. The Soul Armor could only protect the soul, but this Star Treasure could protect the body.
The third wooden box contained ten metallic spheres, which he recognized at a glance as Starburst Bombs imbued with Attribute Energy.
He had seen them before with Zhang Yuyan and never expected to own any himself one day.
The fourth wooden box contained a Dragon-shaped Token.
This was a Celestial Dragon Token, which only Double S-level geniuses could possess. With this token, one could cultivate at the Daoist School for free, and it was valid for life.
