After defeating Su Changmei, Lu Chen naturally rose to become the third Sequence Seed.
At just eighteen, he became the youngest current Sequence Seed of the Dragon Ascension Sequence.
Some marveled at his talent, while others believed that Lu Chen's martial arts simply happened to counter Su Changmei's.
More people quietly set their sights on the last position in the third sequence.
Sequence challenges never stopped merely because a position had changed hands.
Since Lu Chen could knock Su Changmei out of his place, other disciples could naturally challenge Lu Chen too.
For three months, however, Lu Chen enjoyed a protection period as a newly promoted seed. How many people would choose to challenge him when the next round began remained unknown.
Lu Chen paid no mind to the talk outside.
What mattered to him were the benefits the Dragon Ascension Sequence brought.
On his second day as a Sequence Seed, a list of resources arrived at the Divine Armament Academy.
Lu Chen took the list to Ouyang Xuanfeng.
"Teacher, what is this Bone-Forging Pool?"
Ouyang Xuanfeng patiently explained:
"The Bone-Forging Pool is in the academy's rear mountains, connected to an underground vein of fire. Every year, the academy puts large quantities of mutant beast marrow and precious bone-tempering medicines into the pool, then uses the earthfire to refine them."
"The pool water can seep into your marrow, wash away impurities, and speed up your bone refinement."
At this point, Ouyang Xuanfeng glanced at Lu Chen.
"You practice the Nine-Burial Jade Bone Art, which is a perfect match for the Bone-Forging Pool."
"Ordinary disciples have to complete several Demon Subjugation missions just to enter once. A third Sequence Seed, however, receives one guaranteed entry every month."
Lu Chen looked down at the list. "Teacher, why does mine say three entries?"
