I started by slashing through the enemy's territory, and I drew so many affixes that my hands w

After seeing the two doctors off, Butler Jiang walked to Jiang Qin's side and placed three items on the table.

A black jade ring.

A set of clothes that looks like they are made of high-quality materials.

Finally, there was a red fruit, a variety I had never seen before.

"This is a spatial ring crafted by a martial artist who has comprehended the laws of space. It cannot be damaged by those who are not at the Law Realm. It is a gift that Master has prepared for you to enter higher education."

"This set of clothes is an S-grade defensive spiritual artifact specially crafted by the lady from various rare materials. During battle, as long as you input spiritual energy, the spiritual garment can be activated to protect its owner. With your current amount of spiritual energy, it can withstand the attack of a martial artist at the Dharma Aspect Realm."

"And this third gift is the [Heavenly Spirit Fruit] that your grandfather specially ventured into another world to find for you. You can only take it after you break through to the Spirit Sea Realm, and you will know its effects then."

Each of the three gifts, if placed outside, would cause a great deal of competition among martial artists, making them priceless and unavailable.

Jiang Qin curiously picked up the black jade ring and examined it, casually asking:

"Does this thing require a blood oath to be used?"

"Of course not. You just need to input your spiritual power, and it will automatically bind to your spiritual power. Even if someone else takes it, they won't be able to use it."

Following Butler Jiang's instructions, Jiang Qin channeled spiritual energy into the ring, gaining a stronger connection with the black jade ring.

A thought suddenly occurred to him.

The clothes and the Heavenly Spirit Fruit on the table disappeared, then reappeared in the blink of an eye, and then disappeared again.

At that moment, a meaty aroma wafted over.

The restaurant manager personally pushed the food cart respectfully to the table, placing plates of cooked beast meat and two bottles of wine made from spirit fruits on the table.

"Sir, please enjoy your meal."

"Um."

Jiang Qin didn't stand on ceremony; he was starving after his fierce battle with the six peak Spirit Sea cultivators.

While eating, he didn't forget to ask the old butler about the Jiang family, since it might be another family in the future, and it's always good to know more.

"Elder Jiang, is everyone in the Jiang family, like me, who has awakened an SSS-level talent?"

Butler Jiang shook his head. "Most of the Jiang family's bloodline talents are A-level, which improves cultivation efficiency. Some of the more talented ones, like Miss Hanhan, have awakened S-level talents. They have a natural affinity for spiritual energy and are not restricted by their cultivation level before reaching the Law Realm."

"Your talent is unique in the entire Jiang family; it represents a higher level of power."

Jiang Qin took a big bite of the dragon meat, swallowed it, and asked in confusion:

"Miss Hanhan, my younger sister?"

"Yes," Butler Jiang replied, "Miss Hanhan is a freshman who just joined the Magic City Academy this year. Her cultivation level has already broken through to the seventh level of the Spirit Induction Realm. She is undoubtedly the newcomer queen."

With the Jiang family as his backer, it's not surprising that he was already at the seventh level of the Spirit Induction Realm as soon as he entered the academy.

If Jiang Qin hadn't cultivated the Wind Control Steps, his cultivation level would probably be even higher. Of course, cultivation level is just one thing, and actual combat strength is another matter entirely.

We had a hearty dinner.

When we left the restaurant, there were many more people on the street.

Unlike in Tianyun City, martial artists are everywhere in Shanghai. Martial artists at the Mortal Realm can only work as waiters in restaurants here, and they may not even be able to work in more upscale restaurants. It truly deserves the title of "Martial Arts Metropolis".

Ten minutes later, the maglev car stopped in front of a seaside villa.

Jiang Qin got out of the car and fell silent as he looked at the three-story villa.

"This is a property that Madam purchased in the capital. It has been vacant for many years, and we have hired a professional to clean it regularly. You can move in with peace of mind."

"In addition, this maglev train has been registered with your identity, which will make it easier for you to travel between the university and this house in the future. If you need anything else, please feel free to call me. I will be in Shanghai for the next couple of days."

Butler Jiang gave a few instructions and then left.

Jiang Qin casually strolled around the villa to familiarize himself with the surroundings before choosing a bedroom with a nice view. The butler even thoughtfully prepared a change of clothes, making everything effortless for him.

After taking a shower, Jiang Qin lay down on the bed and closed his eyes.

Tomorrow is another new day...

In – she held a research position at Reykjavík Art Museum focusing on the role of women in Icelandic art. She studied fine art at the Icelandic College of Arts and Crafts and at Pratt Institute, New York, and holds BA and MA degrees in art history and philosophy from the University of Iceland. Sigrún lives and works in Iceland.

As one of the four major universities, Zhenling Academy occupies more than 10,000 square meters in Shanghai.

For students with exceptional talent, Zhenling Academy is not the best choice, but for those with slightly less talent, it is their dream school, and every year people vie to participate in the selection process.

Yesterday was the last day of the selection process.

A maglev car stopped outside the Zhenling Academy. Jiang Qin, wearing that S-class battle suit, exuded an aura that was several levels higher.

Dressed in a dark, ink-black robe with a clean cut, which accentuated his tall and handsome figure, the hem and cuffs were embroidered with dragon patterns, and the gold threads were faintly visible in the light. It was understated, yet exuded nobility and sharpness.

His youthful spirit blended with composure and restraint; dressed in black, he resembled a dragon lurking in the abyss, attracting considerable attention the moment he appeared.

"Wow, who's that handsome young man? Is he also a freshman this year? I didn't see him yesterday."

"They were probably late, but it's a good thing they were late. Han Wenqing and the others really went too far yesterday. Luckily, this handsome young man didn't come, otherwise it wouldn't have looked good if he had broken his image."

"Look, why is he walking towards Old Man Lin?"

……

Old Lin, who was sitting outside the gatehouse basking in the sun and drinking tea, turned his head, looked Jiang Qin up and down, and then nodded:

"Not bad, you look much more energetic now that you've changed your clothes. You weren't so lifeless yesterday. Young people should be a bit reckless."

The old man stood up and took the teacup in his hand.

"Let's go. Li Nizi already registered you yesterday. I'll take you and another SSS-level student to meet the principal."

Another SSS-level?

Jiang Qin followed Mr. Lin into the school out of curiosity, and then arrived at the student dormitory, where a crowd of onlookers had gathered.

A student who had just returned from an off-campus assignment asked curiously:

"What happened up ahead? Why are there so many people?"

A bespectacled man replied with a smile:

"Yesterday, some idiot freshman from who-knows-where signed up and actually wanted to live in the girls' dormitory. He said the admissions officer promised him that he would be assigned to a room with a girl, and he actually believed it. In the middle of the night, he sneaked into the girls' dormitory and almost got beaten to death."

"Look at him, he's been standing here since last night, what a weirdo."

Hearing the whispers around him, Jiang Qin casually said:

"This admissions officer is really unethical."

"That kid is the one I recruited."

Old Lin responded calmly with a smile, not feeling anything was amiss.

Jiang Qin remained silent, never expecting this person to be capable of such petty tricks.

As Elder Lin arrived, the crowd dispersed, busy with their own affairs.

A man of unbelievably large build stood at the entrance of the girls' dormitory wearing only white underwear, holding up a sign with both hands, his face full of tears, wishing he could hide his head in the ground.

The sign read, "I am the King of Losers!"

The red ink was particularly eye-catching.

Old Lin walked over and said with a smile, "Alright, silly boy, stop lifting it up. Hurry up and put your clothes on and come with me."

Upon seeing the old man, Chen Xiaohu felt that all the grievances and frustrations he had been holding back all night had finally found an outlet, and he immediately started babbling on and on, his expression filled with grief and indignation!
