White Magic Leader - Parthenon

Chen Lang was going to the Parthenon to experience it, and Pang Lai and the others weren't too surprised.

"Okay, everyone else can go back and rest." After he responded, he dismissed the other National Academy Cadets.

Those who weren't going to the Parthenon could return home. As Jiang Shaojun left, he looked at Chen Lang and said with a smile, "Chen Lang, remember to contact me after we get back home..."

"Okay."

Chen Lang replied, but for some reason, Jiang Shaojun's gaze felt a little strange to him?

Could this scoundrel be trying to drag him off to find a Totem!

Thinking of this, Chen Lang's mouth twitched...

After his teammates had all left, Pang Lai looked at Chen Lang and said, "I'll send you to the Parthenon tomorrow for a month of study and training..."

As he spoke, he hesitated but didn't continue. Instead, he looked at Chen Jin, who was beside him.

Chen Jin spoke truthfully, "Xiao Lang, you don't actually need to train or learn anything at the Parthenon. This time, it's essentially an extra reward for the World Academy Champion. So, you just need to go there and cultivate peacefully for a month. Remember to come home early after receiving the blessings of Divine Seal Praise."

Chen Lang had originally been wondering what he should do at the Parthenon.

He hadn't expected it to be like this... And the White Magic Leader faction, they really are a bit stingy!

Suddenly, Chen Lang seemed to understand why, in the next World Academy Competition, the champion team would receive rewards for everyone.

That was precisely the period when they were selecting a New Goddess, and the Parthenon also wanted to gain more attention...

At the same time, he also understood the meaning behind Chen Jin's words and what Pang Lai found inconvenient to say. It was nothing more than them worrying that he would join the Parthenon.

What they didn't know was that even if he wasn't born into a wealthy family, he wouldn't go and be someone's servant. He understood the Parthenon better than anyone!

"Alright."

Chen Lang made no promises, merely nodding.

Seeing that the important points had been covered, Chen Jin said, "Old Pang, I've explained what needs to be explained. I'm going to take him to see the Grand Speaker now."

"See him for what?"

Seeing that both of them had fallen silent, Chen Lang pouted. "The World Academy Competition, I've already won the championship. Is there still a need to see him now?"

He had no interest in hearing about patriotism or receiving verbal praise from Shao Zheng.

Moreover, if Shao Zheng intended to see him, he would have come along. In his opinion, Chen Jin just wanted to introduce him to Shao Zheng to make a good impression.

But in reality, in the eyes of people at his level, someone like Chen Lang might be met today and forgotten tomorrow.

Chen Jin felt a sense of disappointment in Chen Lang's lack of ambition!

What a great opportunity this was?

Chen Lang continued, "Old man, I understand what you mean, but before I catch the Grand Speaker's eye, forcing my way forward is meaningless."

Chen Jin wanted to say more, but Pang Lai, standing beside him, nodded in agreement. "With your family's boy, will he lack opportunities to succeed in the future?"

Hearing Pang Lai's words, Chen Jin didn't deny it.

Since he wouldn't listen, Chen Jin was too lazy to say more, only reminding Chen Lang to observe the rules at the Parthenon.

The Chen Clan was powerful and influential domestically and could handle many things. However, internationally, the Chen Clan did not yet hold a position where they could act with impunity.

Chen Lang nodded in agreement. He wouldn't act recklessly if it was just a formality...

The next day.

Pang Lai and Chen Lang arrived at the Parthenon Temple.

They followed the Ten Thousand People Stairway on the Sacred Mountain towards the Faith Hall.

People flocked to the Faith Hall daily to pray. Many, in their pursuit of health and longevity, would spare no expense, all for a small amount of faith contribution, hoping to receive the blessings of the Goddess Hall.

The blessing of an intern female attendant could protect an infant from illness and epidemics for ten years. However, the people in the Goddess Hall couldn't bless everyone individually, so they would select from the most devout believers and those willing to pay substantial offerings.

It could be said that among the major organizations in the world, the Parthenon was undoubtedly the one that lacked money the least.

"How does it feel here?" Pang Lai asked as they climbed.

"Compared to taking it step by step, I prefer to fly straight up," Chen Lang pouted.

This was truly suffering for suffering's sake!

"There's a flight restriction here."

Pang Lai stopped his steps, then looked around. "Let's walk slowly. I'll take you to appreciate the scenery of the Sacred Mountain."

The Sacred Mountain was lush and green, filled with the fragrance of flowers. Every time they rounded a mountainside, they could see vast expanses of flowering trees covering the mountains. When the mountain wind blew, colorful flower petals danced in the air, creating a picturesque and fragrant scene, truly a paradise on earth.

And on this mountain, leading to another light blue fragrant mountain, between sheer cliffs, a swing like a fairy-tale house hung there, perilous yet alluring like a fairyland.

It had to be said that Aurelia was indeed a favored child. She completely enjoyed treatment that Ye Xin Xia had never experienced...

The Ten Thousand People Stairway only reached the Knight Hall. Beyond the Knight Hall, unauthorized personnel were not allowed to enter. The restrictions here were even more powerful; a slight touch would result in instant annihilation. Only by continuing along the mountain path named Star River could one officially enter Goddess Mountain.

Of course, there were other paths as well.

But those were only accessible to the internal staff of the Parthenon or certain high-ranking international figures.

Upon arriving here, Chen Lang discovered that many of the Knights were scrutinizing him.

Chen Lang strongly disliked this experience of being gawked at like a monkey. Especially since, in their eyes, Chen Lang could see a kind of…

'That's it? The World Academy Competition? I could do that too if I were there.'

Even though Chen Lang had won first place in the World Academy Competition, it didn't inspire any awe in others.

Not to mention anything else, just looking at the Parthenon Knights present, they all considered themselves to be the cream of the crop.

In their opinion, the World Academy Competition was merely child's play. It was incomparable to them. One must understand that everyone present had been fighting against Demonic Beasts in various ways since they first entered the Parthenon!

The Knights of the Parthenon were called the strongest armed force internationally. This was not mere bragging; even the Earth Knights in the Parthenon were at the high-level mage level.

Although the Parthenon had Earth, Silver Moon, and Gold Radiance ranks.

This did not mean that the Parthenon Knights were intermediate, high-level, or super-level.

One could not become a Knight without being a high-level mage. In fact, some Super-level Mages might still only be at the Silver Moon stage.

Advancement had nothing to do with cultivation level…

Chen Lang completely ignored these provocative gazes.

As the two arrived, a Gold Radiance Knight who was responsible for waiting for them walked over.

"I am Ajit. I presume you two are from the Great Xia National Academy Team?" he asked after introducing himself.

"Mm," Pang Lai nodded.

"Follow me. The Hall Mother is already waiting," Ajit said.

"Now?" Pang Lai sounded surprised.

"Yes, our Hall Mother is very busy and doesn't have time every day."

Although he had guessed from the start that the so-called training and learning were just formalities, it seemed he had overthought things.

Moreover, the young prodigies, as they were seen, didn't seem to receive any special treatment he
