Don't mess with that necromancer; his summoned creatures level up on their own!

Crowds thronged the entrance to the Dachang Central Railway Station.

Travelers dragging suitcases, professionals carrying equipment, and young couples holding children came and went at the door.

The three gilded characters "Dachang Station" hang above the huge arched portico, gleaming warmly in the morning light.

Lu Zhixing and Song Xiaohe were empty-handed, without even a backpack.

Song Xiaohe was wearing a white tracksuit.

She followed Lu Zhixing, curiously looking around.

Lu Zhixing was still wearing that white casual shirt, with his hands in his pockets.

In this world, the preferred mode of long-distance travel is almost always the magic train.

The sky is filled with all sorts of advanced flying magical beasts, which are extremely dangerous. It's not that humans can't build airplanes.

Rather, the aircraft's defensive capabilities are almost zero in the face of those high-level magical beasts.

In contrast, the magic train, with its ground covered by powerful defensive arrays, became the safest and fastest mode of transportation.

Shen Jing held Lu Zhixing's hand tightly, her eyes slightly red.

"Zhixing, Xiaohe, don't be stingy when you get there. Buy whatever you need."

She took two black cards out of her bag.

One was stuffed into Lu Zhixing's hand, and the other into Song Xiaohe's hand.

"Take this card. The PIN is your birthdays. Don't skimp on it. If you run out of money, call Mom right away."

Lu Zhixing glanced down at the card. The card was matte black with silver patterns along the edges, and a small note was pasted on the back.

It had six digits written on it, which happened to be his birthday.

He smiled and put the card into his pocket.

"Thank you, Mom. Don't worry, I'm all grown up now, I can take good care of myself."

Song Xiaohe gripped the card, her fingertips tightening slightly.

"Thank you, Auntie..."

Lu Zaoxie walked up, reached out to straighten Lu Zhixing's collar, and his gaze fell on the badge on his chest.

The badge is made of pure gold and is engraved with a five-clawed golden dragon coiled around the blade of the sword.

It shines brightly in the morning light.

This was escorted to the Lu family's residence by special personnel overnight.

The exclusive badge of the Azure Dragon Class. Lu Zaoxie reached out and gently stroked the edge of the badge, his tone filled with undisguised pride.

"The Azure Dragon Class...you two have really made your father proud."

He paused.

"Sons, since you're working so hard, your old man can't fall behind. I'm going to go check out the front lines too."

Lu Zhixing looked at the strand of white hair at his temple, his heart sank slightly, and he couldn't help but offer some words of advice.

"Dad, you're getting on in years, that's enough."

"The front lines are too dangerous. It's safer for an old man like you to stay in the rear and command. Safety first."

Lu Zaoxie's eyes widened.

"Nonsense! What do you mean by 'old bones'?"

He patted his broad chest and roared with great force.

"Your dad is in his prime! He's at the peak of his life! You brat, you underestimate your dad."

"Throughout the entire Dragon Kingdom, you can count on one hand the number of people who can rival your father!"

Lu Zhixing sighed helplessly.

"Okay, okay, you're the best. But please be careful and don't be too reckless."

Lu Zaoxie looked at Ye Qinglan.

"Qinglan, you don't need to follow me for a while. Take a break, rest well, and improve yourself."

Ye Qinglan nodded, then turned her gaze to Lu Zhixing, her eyes filled with a hint of reluctance and respect.

"Young master, have a safe journey."

Lu Zhixing nodded with a smile.

"Don't worry, Sister Ye."

Lu Zhixing waved to the three of them.

"Alright, Dad, Mom, Sister Ye, go back now, the car's about to leave."

He turned around and strode towards the entrance without looking back.

Song Xiaohe followed beside him, jogging to keep up with his pace.

Shen Jing watched the departing figure, her eyes slightly reddening.

"Old Lin, our son has really grown up..."

Lu Zaoxie reached out and put his arm around her shoulder, his voice deep and resonant.

"Yes, fledglings must spread their wings eventually. Let's go back."

Inside the station hall, there were quite a few people heading to Kyoto, with long queues forming at both the manual and self-service checkpoints.

The sounds of suitcase wheels rolling, announcements, and children crying mingled together, creating a noisy cacophony.

Lu Zhixing stood obediently in the line, moving slowly with it.

Song Xiaohe followed behind him, craning her neck to see the progress of the line ahead.

A uniformed staff member was making a routine patrol, his gaze casually sweeping across the crowd.

Then his gaze stopped—on the badge on Lu Zhixing's chest.

He jolted, rubbed his eyes hard, and looked again.

Under the station lights, the pure gold five-clawed dragon badge gleamed with a warm glow.

Azure Dragon Class!

The most outstanding prodigy of the younger generation in the Dragon Kingdom!

He quickly straightened his collar, strode up to Lu Zhixing, and put on a professional smile.

"Hello, are you... a new student in the Azure Dragon Class?"

Lu Zhixing stopped in his tracks.

"Uh, yes, what's up?"

The staff member made a "please" gesture and stepped aside to make way.

"The Azure Dragon Class has a special passage; please follow me."

Lu Zhixing raised an eyebrow.

"Huh? Is that so?" He followed the staff member to the other side.

Behind me, a commotion arose from the queue.

"The Azure Dragon Class? My god, it's real! I've seen them in person..."

"I've only ever seen that badge on TV. Wow, it's so shiny and impressive!"

"Sigh, if my son could get into the Green Dragon Class, I could benefit from it too."

Stop dreaming and get in line. Don't think about anything else.

Lu Zhixing entered the deserted special passage.

The corridor was spacious and bright, a stark contrast to the crowded and noisy lobby outside.

Lu Zhixing looked around and sighed inwardly: Sure enough, privilege may seem vulgar, but anyone who uses it knows how good it is.

On the waiting platform, the all-silver-white "Aurora" magic train stood quietly to the side.

The streamlined body gleamed with a warm luster in the morning light, and pale blue runic stripes were inlaid along the edges of the windows, slowly swirling.

Following the directions on his ticket, Lu Zhixing arrived at a luxury carriage.

The interior space of the carriages is much more spacious than that of ordinary trains.

Each group of four seats is arranged in pairs facing each other, with a large table in the middle.

All the seats are genuine leather sofas with massage and adjustment functions, and a small screen is embedded in the armrest.

The seat angle and massage mode can be adjusted.

The carriage was still empty.

The moment Song Xiaohe stepped into the carriage, her pace slowed down.

Her gaze swept over the leather chairs, then looked at the exquisite fruit and pastry platter on the table, her voice filled with undisguised surprise.

"Brother... is this the treatment the Azure Dragon Class gets? This is too luxurious..."

She sat down to try it out, seemingly surprised by the soft touch of the sofa. She then raised her hand and pressed the adjustment button on the armrest, and the seat slowly reclined, causing her to sink into the sofa.

"...It's so soft."

Lu Zhixing sat down by the window and nodded.

"This environment is quite nice."

He glanced at the empty seats opposite and next to him.

"Four seats... Could it be that besides Xiaohe and me, there are two other students from the Azure Dragon Class on this trip?"

The little vampire excitedly peeked out.

"Wow! Is this the train to Kyoto? It's huge! Kyoto must be really fun!"

Lu Zhixing chuckled.

"Of course, Kyoto is the heart of the Dragon Kingdom, it's definitely much more fun than Dachang City."

The little zombie snorted coldly.

"You country bumpkin, all you do is play, play, play! You went to Kyoto for better resources and stronger monsters! I'm going to level up, I'm going to make a name for myself in Kyoto!"

It paused for a moment, then turned to the skill bar next door.

"Third brother! Listen up! Once we get to Kyoto, I'll definitely develop a single-target skill that's even stronger than yours! Just you wait and see!"

The little ghost's voice rang out softly and gently.

"Okay... Little You will wait for Big Brother..."

The little zombie icon paused slightly, as if trying to determine whether it was a sarcastic remark.

Lu Zhixing nodded to himself.

"That's more like it, little zombie."

"Shame breeds courage, and that's the kind of big brother I know who's determined to destroy the Holy Law Corpse Emperor. Keep this momentum going, I have high hopes for you!"

The train jolted slightly, and the platform outside the window began to recede slowly.

The Aurora Magical Train started moving and headed towards Kyoto.
