It then said to the assembled spirit beasts, "There will always be times when I can't take care of things, so I'll ask you all to look after Zhou Chen."

"That's how it should be."

The big black ox and the parrots lowered their heads and listened meekly.

As Zhou Chen got up, Duomu Baigao turned to leave the room. It said, "It's getting late, you should rest first. We can talk about tomorrow's matters tomorrow. I'll ask your senior sister to help you. You're all young people, so you'll probably have more to talk about than this old man."

Zhou Chen: "Master, who is my senior sister?"

"It's the card master of that Dharma King Lion next to you," said Duomu Baigao with a smile.

Zhou Chen turned to look at the One-Horned Chow Chow, who nodded helplessly, "Elder Bai is the teacher of the Dharma Heaven Array Domain, and Elder Bai's brother is the grandmaster of Dharma Heaven and the leader of the Xie Zhi lineage."

What a confusing hierarchy!

This also gives an idea of ​​how much Fatian was favored.

Chapter 148: Spiritual Artifacts and Treasures (23/106)

After Du Mu Bai Gao left.

The room became lively again.

Although they failed to recruit Zhou Chen to their academy, the spirit beasts, including the Black Ox, remained kind to him.

"Now that you've become Elder Bai's personal disciple, we're family from now on. If you're going to get a Dharma name, remember to ask Elder Bai to give you a nice one."

"Dharma name?"

Zhou Chen subconsciously looked at the Chow Chow with one horn.

The unicorn chow chow replied, "Simply put, it's your name in the Myriad Laws Sect. Our Divine Capital Academy was formerly the Myriad Laws Sect. Entering the Myriad Laws Sect is like being reborn, hence the Dharma name."

"I see."

He nodded knowingly, then said, "It sounds like we don't have to take it?"

The unicorn chow chow casually remarked, "There aren't so many customs anymore. The Wanfa Sect has become the Shendu Academy, so many traditions have naturally disappeared."

"Hey! Don't talk like the Myriad Laws Sect has disappeared!"

The parrot glared at it angrily.

The one-horned Chow Chow innocently stuck out its liver-red tongue, which made the parrot snort and fly away.

The other spirit beasts also departed.

Before leaving, the new snake nodded to Zhou Chen and said, "Please take care of me in the future, junior brother."

"..."

Zhou Chen blinked, then turned to the unicorn lion and said, "This must be a teacher from the Array Domain Academy, right? Is he also Elder Bai's disciple?"

"No, he is a disciple of the Myriad Laws Sect."

The one-horned Chow Chow gave a simple explanation.

Although the Wanfa Sect has now been renamed the Shendu Academy, just as the core area of ​​the Wanfa Sect remains the same, Wanfa Sect disciples are disciples and Shendu Academy students are students.

Students of Shendu Academy who want to become disciples of the Wanfa Sect either need someone like Zhou Chen, who has the ability to be accepted by figures like Fatian and Elder Bai, or they need to stay at the academy after graduating in four years.

Successfully staying on as a faculty member means becoming a disciple of the Wanfa Sect, or a research student.

Zhou Chen: "So which college do I belong to now?"

"You're not from any college. You're from the Wanfa Sect, but you're not a faculty member."

The unicorn chow chow paused for a moment, then said, "If we really have to choose, let's go with the Array Domain Academy. Elder Bai is a big shot at the Array Domain Academy."

Zhou Chen was speechless for a moment, "I came to school for no reason, and ended up joining a sect..."

"Isn't joining a sect a good thing? No one will stop you from going to work outside. The Wanfa Sect has no restrictions on its disciples. We support you in establishing a family if you want, as long as you can meet the association's requirements for a family." The unicorn chow chow scratched its ear with its hind leg.

Seeing this, Zhou Chen reached out and scratched it for it. "Why are you still itchy?"

"Oh~ thank you~ It's normal to feel itchy, I'm very sensitive, even dust makes me itchy." The one-horned Chow Chow was overjoyed.

It then introduced the number of members of the Manho Sect on Shintoin Oshima Island.

The total population is approximately 14,000, with less than 8,000 residing on the island; the rest are all living elsewhere.

For example, the director and some of the deputy directors of Shendu Academy.

"Most of them come back once a week. After all, they are all King-level Card Masters. It's not good for them to gather in one place in large numbers for a long time."

The unicorn chow chow chuckled, "Old Bai will be attempting to break through to the King level soon. Let's wish him success, so you can have another King-level master."

King level...

Zhou Chen didn't know much about Wang Ji, mainly because there wasn't much information about him online.

He only knew that in the Western Continent, the title for a king was Duke, in the New Continent and Wozhou it was Calamity, and in the Garuda Continent it was Priest.

Putting everything else aside, just from the title "New Continent," it's not hard to sense the true strength of a King-level being.

From the words of the unicorn crow, it's easy to understand that even king-level card masters cannot gather in large numbers in one place for a long time, which explains why king-level card masters are so rare.

Zhou Chen has never met a single one to this day.

But more than these things, he was concerned about his master.

The Chow Chow was very open and honest, but urged him to leave the secret realm, saying, "Don't keep the little girl waiting."

"Good good."

Zhou Chen followed them outside.

Elder Bai, whose full name is Bai Shounian, is a native of the capital city. He is 102 years old and possesses peak Special Grade strength. He has only one older brother, no spouse or children, and only four disciples.

The eldest disciple, Wen Shuo, is sixty-one years old and a top-level card master.

The second disciple, Ge Cangmei, is 55 years old and a top-level card master.

The third disciple, Fatian, is thirty-six years old and a senior card master.

And his newly accepted apprentice, sixteen years old, a junior card master.

Wen Shuo and Ge Cangmei are not currently at the academy. The former serves as the vice president of a state-level association in Saizhou, while the latter is said to be out gaining experience and his whereabouts are uncertain.

These five people constitute the entirety of the Bai Ze lineage.

Compared to the glory of the Xie Zhi lineage, the Bai Ze lineage appears somewhat desolate, mainly due to the damage to the Lingbao Bai Ze Diagram.

"Lingbao?"

Zhou Chen felt that the term was a bit unfamiliar.

The Chow Chow replied, "Ah, that's an old name too. If I say 'strategic spirit creature,' you'll understand, right?"

In the real world, spiritual beings are divided into strategic and tactical levels.

The difference between the two is that strategic-level spirit creatures possess a special power that can be used independently, while tactical-level spirit creatures can only enhance the strength of spirit beasts.

In the past, strategic-level spiritual objects were called spiritual treasures, and tactical-level spiritual objects were called spiritual artifacts.

The unicorn chow chow continued, "Old Bai's master went missing during a special mission. All that was found was a damaged Bai Ze map, which caused Old Bai to waste sixty years and still not be able to find a new path."

Sixty years!

Zhou Chen was greatly shocked, "My master became a top-level card master at the age of forty?"

The unicorn chowl sighed, "Yes, many people advised him to change his spirit beast, but he just wanted to continue the Bai Ze lineage and didn't want it to wither away. He never expected that sixty years would pass by so quickly."

For many years, Bai Shounian tried every means to recreate the Bai Ze Diagram, such as studying the Dao of Array Domains, hoping that the omnipotent array domain could help. However, spiritual treasures are too mysterious and there is no way to cultivate them.

It wasn't until the recommendation of the Dean of the Divine Capital Academy that Bai Shounian learned from the current president of the Card Association that Bai Ze, as an auspicious beast, was extremely dependent on luck, and he had to wait for an opportunity.

At what time?

I don't know, or perhaps it's a secret that can't be revealed.

So Bai Shounian waited and waited until Zhou Chen appeared.

He naturally assumed that his luck had turned around.

Zhou Chen: "Wait a minute, so your luck has arrived, but then what? It didn't say how to fix it?"

"Idiot, you rely on the Dao to cultivate! Do you think it's so hard for a King-level Card Master to advance? Because they can't even grasp the Dao!"

The Chow Chow's explanation was vague and unclear.

【Tao】, the standard equipment for King-level Card Masters, is the key to mastering the destructive power of natural disasters.

Zhou Chen got a general idea.

A man and a dog walked out of the gate of the secret realm. In the real world, the sun was already setting, but the square, illuminated by the twilight, was still bustling with activity. Many examinees lingered there, discussing a certain unreasonable monster.

Unbeknownst to them, the monster had quietly slipped past the crowd and found Lu Qingning, Han Baobao, and Mei Xian, who had been waiting for a long time.

What are you doing in there?

Lu Qingning is unaware of the situation inside.

Zhou Chen said, "Let's talk as we walk, I'm a little hungry."

He hadn't eaten anything all day and his body was exhausted, so he needed to replenish himself so he wouldn't be too weak to run dungeons that night.

Yes.

Despite having been busy all day, he still planned to go to the dungeon to use up his stamina.

Chapter 149: "Parting Ways" (24/106)

A restaurant in Xiaoshendu.

Lu Qingning, with a piece of meat in her mouth, fell into deep thought.

She has been in this state ever since she learned that Zhou Chen had been taken as a disciple by a top-tier card master.

The Chow Chow comforted him, "It's alright. Don't forget me when you become rich and powerful. Zhou Chen won't forget you even if he becomes successful."

Snapped!

Zhou Chen gently patted its head and whispered, "Don't talk nonsense."

Lu Qingning waved her hand, "It's nothing. I was just feeling moved by the changes in you. Life is so amazing."

More than three months ago, Zhou Chen was a lonely, stay-at-home car mechanic who needed to be led by her to experience the secret realm.

Three months later, he transformed himself, not only becoming a junior card master, but also becoming a member of the Myriad Laws Sect during the unified recruitment process, and was even taken in by a top-level card master.

Lu Qingning blushed slightly as she recalled what she had said to Zhou Chen the night before she left.

Ultimately, his progress was just too fast!

According to Lu Qingning's idea, Zhou Chen will not be able to come to Shendu Academy until at least next year. At that time, she can help him out and he will be able to get in.

As a result, not only did they compete at the same time, but they even surpassed her.

It would be a lie to say that Lu Qingning's feelings weren't complicated.

Han Baobao added, "Yeah, Zhou Chen, you're doing a bit too well right now, I'm even jealous."

"Don't say that, Sister Han. Your words are making me sweat profusely."

Zhou Chen is not an ungrateful person. Lu Qingning helped him a lot, but didn't Han Baobao help him a little?

Han Baobao chuckled, "If you were placed in those cultural universities now, it would be equivalent to a direct PhD program. How could a mere freshman like me not look up to you?"

"..."

Zhou Chen remained silent, simply raising his glass with his drink in a gesture of respect before downing it in one gulp.

Han Baobao clapped her hands in a very accommodating way, "Great water volume!"

"You two know how to create entertaining content for a show."

This made not only Lu Qingning laugh, but even Mei Xian laughed.

The one-horned Chow Chow enthusiastically shouted, "Another cup! Another cup!"

It was as if Zhou Chen was actually drinking alcohol, not a beverage.

After the commotion subsided, the conversation inevitably turned to Mei Xian.
