Cassell College

After hanging up, Cao Ya thought for a while.

In fact, he was still a student at Shilan High School, in the same class as Lu Mingfei. He also knew Chen Wenwen, Zhao Menghua, Su Xiaoqiang, and the others.

Unlike Lu Mingfei, he wasn't a poor student.

Well, actually, even a poor student at an elite high school like this would rank above average at an ordinary high school.

Lu Mingfei could at least get into a regular first-tier university.

Cao Ya could probably get into a stronger Project 211 university or a lower-ranked Project 985 university. In a class full of freaks headed for Tsinghua, Peking, Fudan, and Shanghai Jiao Tong, though, he wasn't much better off than Lu Mingfei.

But Cao Ya had a different personality from Lu Mingfei. He wouldn't fawn over anyone or play the lapdog. Though he didn't have any close friends, he at least got along reasonably well with everyone, and they wouldn't deliberately mock him.

Lu Mingfei simply had no confidence in himself. Otherwise, at an ordinary high school, would a decent-looking student with above-average grades who was great at video games really be someone his classmates looked down on?

What a joke!

It was just that at an elite high school like this, Lu Mingfei seemed far too ordinary, even bottom of the barrel.

Honestly, his relationship with Lu Mingfei... well, they could barely count as friends.

Mainly because Cao Ya didn't look down on people, and classmates like him who didn't despise Lu Mingfei were genuinely in the minority.

The "Little Celestial Maiden," Su Xiaoqiang, was one of them too.

Knowing that he had transmigrated into the world of Dragon Raja, Cao Ya had trained hard even before entering System Space and meeting his other selves. He had hoped to receive an interview invitation from Cassell College, enroll there, and see the true face of this world.

Once he knew supernatural powers existed, how could he possibly sit quietly and behave himself?

So, though Cao Ya rarely showed it, he was actually quite strong. Probably only Chu Zihang, who had yet to attend Cassell College, could reliably beat him.

This also made Cao Ya realize that, whether he was a Mixed-Blood or not, his bloodline certainly couldn't compare with Chu Zihang's.

Of course, he didn't particularly care.

After all, this was a technological society.

Besides, Chu Zihang's abilities ranked among the very best of the Mixed-Bloods. Losing to him was nothing to be ashamed of.

Cao Ya kept a very low profile. He could count the people who knew his strength on one hand.

So at Shilan High School, he was just an inconspicuous nobody.

Once senior year began, Lu Mingfei would soon receive his invitation from Cassell College and attend an interview held for him alone-even if plenty of other people showed up-before entering Cassell College and facing the truth of the world.

In particular, when Lu Mingfei and several classmates, including Chen Wenwen and Su Xiaoqiang, all received interview invitations from Cassell College, Cao Ya began to wonder. Was he not a Mixed-Blood?

He didn't care whether he was a Mixed-Blood or had that bloodline. He certainly didn't covet any dragon bloodline. Since when had his country ever judged people by pedigree? Only dogs were judged by pedigree!

Still, being unable to enter the real world left Cao Ya a little disappointed.

He had wanted to take part in the battles to slay dragons.

Did those lizard-like things even deserve to be called dragons?

They were hideous!

Their power was certainly impressive, though.

Fine, power was enough.

After feeling down for a while, Cao Ya soon pulled himself together. He didn't believe the country could possibly know nothing about these dragon-related matters.

Every last emperor in ancient times had proclaimed himself a true dragon, the Son of Heaven. Not one had concealed his identity.

Ordinary people might not know, but organizations with that kind of reach definitely knew something about it. Only the extent of their knowledge might differ.

With his foreknowledge and the strength he had built through grueling training, if he took the initiative to make contact, the state would probably accept him into an organization similar to Cassell College.

Was Cassell College the only organization slaying dragons in the entire world?

Not a chance!

The story simply focused on Cassell College. After all, that was where the protagonist leveled up,

so naturally it received plenty of attention. Just as Cao Ya adjusted his mindset and prepared to make new plans, he ended up in System Space and learned everything.

He had also gained the power to stand at the pinnacle of the Dragon Raja world.

The Black King and White King were hard to judge, but Second-Generation Dragons, Third-Generation Dragons, and fourth-generation dragons definitely couldn't beat him now. As for the first-generation dragons, the Four Great Lords, he would have to fight them to find out.

The Word Spirits of dragons and Mixed-Bloods were rather unusual, though, and Cao Ya very much wanted to investigate them.

Especially those extremely high-ranking Forbidden Word Spirits.

After leaving System Space and returning to the Dragon Raja world, he gave it some thought and contacted the authorities.

At first, the authorities were skeptical. Then Cao Ya demonstrated a little of his power, and a few hours later, a special department arrived and formally took him in.

They also placed an extraordinary degree of trust in him-perhaps because of the power Cao Ya had demonstrated-putting him in charge of this region and assigning him a large number of personnel.

Cao Ya didn't stand on ceremony. He directly asked for the authority to assemble his own team.

The higher-ups debated it, but in view of Cao Ya's power, they ultimately approved.

Cao Ya was very satisfied. If they really hadn't agreed, he could have gone it alone anyway.

Power was the key, after all. Everything else was just branches and twigs.

And he already had power.

His plan was to establish a martial arts university, teach martial arts, have the entire population train, and then slay dragons!

The Dragon Raja world was a world where supernatural powers existed, and he didn't sense any particularly strong restrictions.

It was feasible for ordinary people to practice martial arts.

When those Dragon Kings revived, they would find themselves facing endless martial artists filling heaven and earth, armed with guns and cannons. Missiles would scour the ground, and then the martial artists would charge.

Whatever kind of Dragon King they were, they would all be wiped out in one fell swoop.

What age was this? Why were they still having a tiny handful of people fight alone?

Cao Ya selectively forgot that he had once yearned to enter Cassell College.

Once everything was ready, Cassell College's teams also entered the country. Some headed for the Three Gorges to investigate the Bronze and Fire King, while others came to interview Lu Mingfei.

Well, it didn't really count as an interview. Lu Mingfei was an S-rank personally selected by Angers. They would drag him to the college even if they had to tie him up.

The others were merely there to accompany the crown prince to his lessons.

They had to throw up some sort of smokescreen, after all.

Though every move Cassell College made was monitored in perfect detail by the personnel the authorities had assigned to Cao Ya.

Cassell College should have anticipated this.

Cassell College's Norma possessed tremendous computing power and could even just barely be considered capable of independent thought. She could likewise monitor the entire world.

But this was his country, and to ensure their subsequent operations went smoothly, they simply pretended not to know.

In the original timeline, his country indeed hadn't interfered with Cassell College's operations.

Now, however, Cao Ya had other plans. He couldn't allow a foreign school like Cassell College to roam the country as though no one were there.

He got ready to go and meet Cassell College's people in person.

Frankly, he was still very curious about Cassell College.

It was a school full of Mixed-Bloods, after all.

His phone chimed. His subordinates had compiled the intelligence on Cassell College's arrivals and sent it to his phone.

Cao Ya casually skimmed it without looking too closely. After all, he already knew about them; he was merely confirming things now.
