"It seems the school's rating for you is still too low." Li Changfeng took a deep breath, his eyes burning even more intensely.

"Jiang Chen, the school originally gave you the highest level of treatment, but now I've decided to promote you one level! You'll enjoy 'Sequence-level' treatment!"

"Sequence level?" Xia Qingyu asked curiously.

"That's right!" Li Changfeng explained.

"The Imperial Capital Academy is a gathering place for geniuses, but above geniuses, there are monsters. Only the top ten monsters in the entire school can be called 'Sequence'."

"Sequence-level students have their own training grounds, unlimited resource supplies, and even the privilege of acting first and asking for permission later!"

Jiang Chen didn't seem too affected by this, he simply nodded.

"Sounds good. Hopefully, the food in the cafeteria will live up to its reputation."

Li Changfeng laughed loudly

"Don't worry! The chefs at the Imperial Capital Academy are all highly skilled professionals who have transformed themselves into experts in various fields. They'll make you swoon! Without further ado, to prevent those lunatics from retaliating again, let's head to the Imperial Capital now!"

……

The mode of transportation to the capital was not an ordinary train or airplane, but a huge airship.

This is a luxury item that only top-tier powers can possess, named "Cloud Whale".

The level of luxury inside the first-class cabin of the airship was simply outrageous.

Huge floor-to-ceiling windows overlook the mountains and rivers below the clouds, the leather sofas are as soft as clouds, and there are pretty young ladies in uniforms who provide kneeling service.

"Wow--"

Xia Qingyu pressed her face against the window, watching the sea of ​​clouds rushing past outside, as excited as a primary school student going on her first spring outing.

"Jiang Chen, look! There seems to be a wild boss down there! It's a huge turtle!"

Jiang Chen sat on the sofa, holding an elegant wine glass in his hand. The glass didn't contain red wine, but rather water.

"That's called the Rock Armored Giant Turtle. Its defense is ridiculously high, but its meat is hard to eat and worthless." Jiang Chen swirled his wine glass, took a small sip, and frowned slightly.

"What's wrong?" Li Changfeng asked with a smile as he sat opposite him.

"Is it not to your liking? This is top-quality red wine flown in from the air."

"No, I was just drinking water," Jiang Chen said seriously, putting down his cup.

"This water has too many impurities. Although it has been filtered through three layers, I can still taste a faint metallic pipe flavor and a dull feeling of being confined by rigid machinery."

"Water has life, and this 'dead water' tastes terrible."

Li Changfeng: "..."

Xia Qingyu: "..."

The waitress next to me was barely able to maintain her professional fake smile.

This is a special supply of mineral water that costs two thousand yuan per bottle!

You call this bad taste?

Is this the legendary quirk of a big shot?

"Nawei... Brother Jiang Chen." Xia Qingyu leaned closer and whispered.

"Can you stop pretending? The waitress is looking at you like you're crazy."

"This is my pursuit of a higher quality of life," Jiang Chen said confidently, then his fingertips twitched slightly.

The free water elements in the air quickly gathered and condensed at his fingertips into a crystal-clear water sphere. This water sphere contained no impurities, so pure that it seemed to reflect everything in the world.

He flicked the water balloon into the cup, took another sip, and then nodded in satisfaction.

"Yes, this is nature's gift, sweet and refreshing."

Seeing this skillful manipulation of elements—a skill that required no chanting, was instantaneous, and extremely precise—Li Changfeng's eyes gleamed even brighter.

"Jiang Chen, your water control skills are so impressive that even the dean of our school's Water Resources Department probably couldn't do it with such ease," Li Changfeng exclaimed.

"I'm very curious, what's so special about your profession? If it doesn't involve top-secret information, could you reveal a little bit?"

Jiang Chen put down his cup, leaned back on the sofa, and asked with a deep gaze, "Director Li, do you know anything about dragons?"

"Dragon?" Li Changfeng was taken aback. "Of course I know. There are many sub-dragon species in the abyss, and even legendary giant dragons. Western dragons breathe fire and breathe fire, while Eastern dragons ride the clouds and mist."

"No, I'm not talking about those winged lizards, nor those long worms that need to borrow the power of wind and thunder."

Jiang Chen sat up slightly, and in that instant, an indescribable noble aura emanated from him, as if an ancient monarch were discussing his territory.

"I'm talking about the pinnacle of the elements, the cornerstone of the world. The ancient rulers who governed this planet before the gods were born."

"For that being, water is not a weapon, but an extension of its limbs. I don't need to 'borrow' elements, because I am the... emperor of the water element."

The first-class cabin fell silent instantly.

Looking at the eloquent young man in front of him, Li Changfeng felt a chill run down his spine, even though the man was only eighteen years old and dressed casually.

It's like facing a bottomless ocean.

"Hahaha!" Li Changfeng suddenly burst into laughter, breaking the heavy atmosphere.

"Good! What a magnificent emperor of the elements! Young people should have this kind of wild and unrestrained spirit! When you get to the academy, I hope you can maintain this wild spirit, after all, there are quite a few arrogant guys there."

"Eyes on the top of your head?" Jiang Chen chuckled. "That's perfect, I specialize in treating cervical spondylosis."

"Pfft—" Xia Qingyu spat out the water she had just drunk.

It's a miracle cure for cervical spondylosis!

Can you please tone down your damn sense of humor?

The airship weaved through the clouds, speeding towards the capital city—the city that represented humanity's highest fighting power.

Jiang Chen looked at the sea of ​​clouds outside the window, his eyes calm.

A university in the capital?

Hopefully, the "geniuses" there will be more interesting than those few demon wolves and assassins.

……

Two hours later, the airship landed.

The Imperial Capital Academy is located in the northern suburbs of the capital city, covering an area larger than a small city.

The magnificent complex of buildings stretches endlessly, with the light of various magic arrays intertwining in the air, creating a defensive barrier that can be described as an impregnable fortress.

Li Changfeng personally helped the two complete the enrollment procedures and led them directly to the so-called "sequence-level dormitory".

It's called a dormitory, but it's actually a luxury villa area built halfway up a mountain.

"This is 'Hidden Dragon Abyss,' only the top ten ranked students in the entire school are qualified to live here." Li Changfeng pointed to a three-story detached villa in front of him, his tone full of pride.

"This place has its own spirit-gathering array, making cultivation five times faster than outside. Inside, there's a separate gravity training room, a potion laboratory, and even a private hot spring."

"Villa No. 1, this is your residence."

Jiang Chen looked at the incredibly luxurious villa in front of him and nodded in satisfaction: "Not bad. Although it can't compare to the Dragon Palace, it's still livable."

Xia Qingyu was already dazzled by the sight.

"This...this is really for us? It's huge! I want the room on the third floor with the big balcony!"
