A Meeting Sparked by Two People

This was mainly to showcase Shrek Academy's strength to the Federation.

They needed the outside world to know that Shrek Academy's students had always been the best.

Only then could they continuously attract outstanding geniuses.

And their best sparring opponent was naturally Sun Moon Royal Academy.

Ever since Shrek Academy withdrew from the Federation Grand Competition, Sun Moon Royal Academy had always taken first place.

For Shrek Academy to defeat Sun Moon Royal Academy would have a far greater impact than defeating any other academy.

Even if it was only an exhibition match, as long as they won, Shrek Academy would still firmly surpass Sun Moon Royal Academy.

When these two academies met, even an exhibition match would be a real battle.

It could be said that their exhibition match was practically the finals, and would be incredibly exciting.

The Federation Grand Competition had been held many times, yet Sun Moon Royal Academy had never won an exhibition match.

If they won the next exhibition match, the resulting sensation would be unimaginable.

At that point, it would be impossible for Sun Moon Royal Academy not to take notice of him.

Not only Sun Moon Royal Academy, but other forces and even the military would pay close attention to him.

That would bring considerable benefits to the implementation of his future plans.

Besides, being able to publicly trample on Shrek Academy's pride would make him feel somewhat better.

"You can go look into it. I just want to stay in my room and properly suppress Na Er's personality."

"If there's anything you need me to do, just come get me," Gu Yue Na said.

Because of Na Er's personality, she had become rather laid-back and had little desire to move around.

Chen An nodded and discussed a few more things with Gu Yue Na.

"By the way, I'm very curious about the metal-element power you used today."

"Would it be convenient for you to clear up my doubts?" Gu Yue Na looked at Chen An with great interest.

Chen An appeared calm, but he had long expected Gu Yue Na to notice his other elemental powers.

"That counts as one of my secrets, so it's not convenient for me to say much. You only need to know that we're in the same boat now."

"I won't harm you, nor am I able to harm you. That is enough."

"Everyone has their own secrets. I have mine, and you have yours."

"For instance, I haven't asked you too many questions. That can be considered respect for your secrets."

"I think you should show some respect for mine as well," Chen An said.

The more he explained, the easier it would be to expose flaws. Rather than that, it was better to say nothing.

Gu Yue Na watched Chen An silently. Their gazes met, each harboring their own thoughts.

"That's true," Gu Yue Na said after a long silence. She nodded, rose to her feet, and left.

Watching Gu Yue Na leave, Chen An let out a small sigh of relief. Gu Yue Na was fairly reasonable.

If she had been more forceful and domineering, she probably would have insisted on getting to the bottom of it.

Chen An slowly stood and walked over to the floor-to-ceiling window, looking out at the scenery.

What he saw now was the view outside the building—the cityscape.

From the fortieth floor, he could see much farther into the distance.

As he watched the scenery outside, Chen An's pupils gradually lost focus. He was clearly absent-minded.

Before long, it was lunchtime. Gu Yue Na left her room on schedule and knocked on Chen An's door.

As newcomers, having Chen An accompany her to find food gave her some company.

Chen An and Gu Yue Na left together, following the route shown on the campus map.

There were three cafeterias in the student building, divided into low, middle, and high tiers.

The lowest-tier cafeteria was open to students for free. It was located on the tenth floor and occupied the entire level.

The mid-tier cafeteria charged for its meals, though the prices were not particularly high.

Since it charged money, the ingredients it used were naturally more valuable.

Eating these nutritious meals over a long period was beneficial to cultivation.

As for the high-tier cafeteria, its ingredients were even more valuable. Every dish cost more than one thousand Federal Currency.

Meals like these were not something ordinary people could afford.

Chen An and Gu Yue Na were heading to the high-end restaurant on the thirtieth floor.

They were not poor, so they could still afford such expensive meals.

The high-end restaurant did not occupy the entire floor, taking up less than a quarter of it.

Since there were not many people who could afford to eat there, the restaurant naturally did not need to be very large.

When they entered the restaurant, there were still quite a few people inside, with more than a hundred dining there.

People gathered in small groups of three or five, chatting while they ate, while some discussed serious matters.

Chen An and Gu Yue Na took a brief look around and quickly understood how to order.

They found two seats and sat down, tapping on the screen on the table.

The restaurant was highly intelligent, with a fully automated ordering system.

The two ordered quite a lot. When they paid with their cards, more than thirty thousand was deducted.

The food was served quickly, dish after dish being brought to their table.

Soon, there was no more room on the table, and some dishes could only be placed on the table beside them for the time being.

The two began eating, their movements elegant yet quick, drawing quite a few stares.

Such an appetite was quite astonishing, especially since Gu Yue Na looked no older than eight or nine.

At that age, and as a girl, it would have been strange if she had not attracted attention.

Gu Yue Na did not care about the strange looks and focused solely on eating.

These highly nutritious dishes were more filling than ordinary food.

Yet she was still able to eat a great deal, taking bite after bite without stopping.

Chen An could eat quite a lot too, and he was more or less evenly matched with Gu Yue Na when it came to eating.

Their appetites left quite a few people stunned, and they secretly branded the two as bottomless pits.

After the meal, Gu Yue Na returned directly to her room to rest.

Chen An wandered around Sun Moon Royal Academy, familiarizing himself with the surroundings.

He then left Sun Moon Royal Academy to find Di Tian.

The two went to the combat arena, where Chen An was once again beaten badly and defeated by Di Tian.

This time, he lasted another half minute, which left him quite satisfied.

Lasting a little longer meant he was somewhat stronger than yesterday. That was good news.

On the way back, Chen An reflected on the battle and continuously examined his own shortcomings.

Meanwhile, the higher-ups of Sun Moon Royal Academy held a brief meeting.

The topic concerned Chen An and Gu Yue Na, the two possessors of True Dragon Spirits.

Director Xu gave a detailed account of the two.

The senior officials present were both shocked and delighted, with quite a few revealing smiles.

"Gu Yue Na's Martial Soul is the rare Elemental True Dragon and possesses multiple elements."

"She says it is called the Silver Dragon. I have never heard of such a dragon species before; it may be some sort of variant."

"This Martial Soul is extremely valuable to cultivate. Her future potential is immeasurable."

"As for Chen An, the strength of this child's Martial Soul should be no weaker than that Silver Dragon."

"It is a top-tier True Dragon Spirit, but its attribute has a flaw—it is the Death Attribute."

"This attribute is rare and powerful, but it can easily be associated with Evil Soul Masters."

"I think highly of his future, but at the same time, I am also very concerned."

"For Gu Yue Na, we should spare no effort in nurturing her. As for Chen An, we must judge according to the circumstances."

Director Xu voiced all of his views and plans regarding the two.

The others all nodded, looking thoughtful.
