Entering the Imperial Capital Academy

Chen Lang's mind was racing, but at this moment, besides coveting Mu Ningxue's beauty, he really couldn't find any leverage over her.

Mu Ningxue's strength became more and more outrageous as time went on.

But that was a matter for the future; right now, she was just a measly beginner level mage.

Seeing that Chen Lang had no way to argue, the old man continued, "Beauty, in the end, is just a handful of dust, returning to dust, earth to earth..."

After lecturing him, Chen Jin spoke with a sigh as he recalled the past, "If I had been infatuated with beauty back then, how could I have achieved what I have today?"

Chen Lang really wanted to say that Mu Ningxue had boundless prospects in the future.

But the problem was, he knew this because he understood the future, while the old man didn't!

"Old man, I'm still young, it's too early to talk about marriage. How about we discuss it again in a few years?"

He knew very well that no matter what he said now, it would likely be futile. Instead of making useless fabrications here, it was better to delay this arrangement that he found repulsive.

Perhaps because of what happened to Chen Lang's parents, or perhaps because he was indeed still very young, the old man reluctantly conceded, "I can give you two years. But once the two years are up, you must choose a wife of equal standing."

"Okay..."

With the old man's tone, it was no longer a notification but a final ultimatum.

"Old man, my Space Element has also reached a bottleneck. During these two years, I don't want to stay in the family anymore; I want to go to the Academy."

Ever since Chen Lang arrived in this world, he had stayed within the family.

Although the Chen Clan was vast, like a small town, he naturally yearned for the outside world.

Chen Jin glanced at Chen Lang with a hint of annoyance, as if he could see right through him, "You want to go to school?"

Chen Lang wasn't embarrassed and nodded without blushing or his heart skipping a beat.

Even though he had guessed the boy's thoughts, Chen Jin really couldn't stop him any further. Chen Lang was an adult now, and a fledgling eagle would eventually need to soar on its own.

"Fine, I'll have Uncle Li arrange for you to go to the Academy."

He paused and then said earnestly, "As long as it doesn't hinder your growth, I won't interfere too much in your private affairs. But you can't mess around too much, understand?"

"Okay."

Chen Lang left, completely satisfied. Li Yan, who was beside Chen Jin, spoke up, "Master, should I go and warn..."

Before Li Yan could finish speaking, Chen Jin raised his hand to stop him.

"At his age, forcefully stopping him would only have the opposite effect."

Who hadn't been young before? He had come from youth himself.

He also didn't want to accept the family's arrangements back then and had a woman he liked. But how long could a youthful infatuation last?

As for Chen Lang wanting to go to the Academy, it was nothing more than a young man wanting to play, which was normal.

After a year or so, if Chen Lang slacked off in his cultivation, it would be more appropriate to talk about it then...

The old man agreeing to let him go to the Academy was a happy occasion for Chen Lang. Being able to see the outside world made him feel a little excited.

After his excitement subsided, Chen Lang returned to his courtyard and immediately began meditating.

Compared to the matter with SeSe, the most important thing right now was, of course, strength!

If he had been reborn into a stable world like his previous life, Chen Lang would definitely have chosen to slack off, because even if he couldn't inherit the family fortune, he would have wealth that many people couldn't accumulate in several lifetimes.

He wouldn't need to work hard at all; he could just lie flat.

But in this world, being rich didn't necessarily mean being safe. Because this world possessed extraordinary magical power!

In such a world, having powerful strength was the only way to truly establish oneself...

The family handled the admission procedures very quickly. In about two days, Chen Lang stepped onto the campus of the Imperial Capital Academy.

It was already nearing the end of the semester, but Chen Lang had successfully enrolled.

For many people, entering the Great Xia's foremost Academy was as difficult as the Tang Monk's journey to the West. But for the Chen Clan, it was just a casual matter.

The next morning, he was sent to the Imperial Capital Academy by a special car.

It was vast here, with ancient trees reaching the sky, and tree-lined paths everywhere. The architectural style was mostly ancient, in stark contrast to the city of the Imperial Capital itself.

Chen Lang wandered around the Academy for a bit before heading to an office in the teaching building.

"Knock, knock, knock."

"Come in."

Entering the office, Chen Lang saw a man who looked to be around thirty years old.

Looking at the young man, Chen Lang introduced himself, "I'm here to enroll, Chen Lang."

"Good, follow me." Upon hearing Chen Lang's name, the other party didn't say much and immediately got up, leading him outside.

When they reached the doorway, the man seemed to remember something and stopped, saying, "I will be your teacher for a while. My name is Zhao Qing."

With that, he continued to lead the way without waiting for Chen Lang to speak.

Seeing this, Chen Lang found it unnecessary to waste any more words. In his opinion, Li Yan had already arranged all the complicated procedures.

The two arrived at the entrance of a very large classroom one after another.

Although it was called a classroom, it gave Chen Lang the feeling of a movie theater.

But unlike a movie theater, the seats were not close together; instead, there was a lot of space to move around.

There were about a hundred people in the classroom.

After Chen Lang's gaze swept around, he quickly noticed a woman with silver hair.

Snow for skin, ice for bones, three thousand silver threads, a beauty that could overthrow cities and nations...

This was Chen Lang's first impression of Mu Ningxue.

Beautiful!

In his previous life, let alone possessing a woman like this, he probably wouldn't even have the chance to lick her toes.

But in this life, only someone of this caliber was truly suitable for him!

"This is our new student, Chen Lang, a lightning mage," Director Zhao Qing said after bringing Chen Lang in.

Although the Lightning Element was still a dominant force among beginner level mages.

However, this was the Imperial Capital Academy, and the brilliance of the Lightning Element was just so-so.

The students here were all wealthy and influential. Who didn't have a few decent Magic Tools? Even if they hadn't awakened any offensive magic at the beginner level, it didn't mean they lacked offensive power.

Most importantly, not all of these people might still be beginner level mages!

The conditions for entering the Main Campus of the Imperial Capital Academy were even more stringent. Not only did one's cultivation need to reach the intermediate level, but they also needed to be able to cast Intermediate Magic.

Therefore, it was no exaggeration to say that geniuses were everywhere here; it was not a joke that it was the Great Xia's top magic university.

After introducing Chen Lang, Zhao Qing noticed where Chen Lang's gaze was fixed and felt a sense of mockery, thinking that this was another Second Generation Ancestor who was not focused on his studies.

"Go find a seat."

Despite his disdain, he wouldn't show it too much out of respect for the Chen Clan's influence.

Upon hearing this, Chen Lang didn't hesitate and walked towards Mu Ningxue's seat.

This scene caused quite a stir among many people.

In the eyes of many, this newcomer was being rather ungrateful!

The reason no one was sitting next to the Ice Beauty was precisely because that seat was not for just anyone to occupy
