Fatian said, "But it doesn't matter. The Bai Ze lineage and the Xie Zhi lineage are interconnected. If you ever change your mind and want to join the Xie Zhi lineage, your master will definitely support you."

Zhou Chen glanced at the Chow Chow and said directly, "I heard from Dharma King Ni that you wanted me to replace you in the Xie Zhi lineage..."

"Yes, I inherited the title of Fatian from my grandmaster. Some of my uncles wanted to give me the Xiezhi Crown. But I refused, so I planned to train a genius to replace me. By then, the Xiezhi Crown will probably be used up."

Fatian said frankly, "If I can train you into the Xiezhi lineage and hand over the title of Fatian to you, I can then focus on advancing to the Special Grade."

It sounds like there might be some internal problems within the Xie Zhi lineage.

Chapter 152: One More Hug

Seeing his silence, Fatian asked curiously, "Why don't you speak?"

Zhou Chen remained silent.

The Chow Chow sighed helplessly, "Seriously, let me explain. Your language skills are terrible; you've made it sound like the Xie Zhi lineage is about to start fighting amongst themselves, which is why you're stuck at home all day!"

Through its explanation, Zhou Chen learned that there was a senior master in Fatian who, like Elder Bai, had been stuck at the peak of the Special Grade for many years.

However, unlike Elder Bai, whose Bai Ze Tu was damaged and thus difficult to advance, this senior master failed to advance three times despite having a complete Xie Zhi crown.

The current Xie Zhi believes his chances of promotion are slim and is preparing to groom other successors.

Fatian is one of them.

Although she is only on the verge of being promoted to the Special Grade, she is talented enough that many in the Xie Zhi lineage believe she only needs a little over ten years to reach the peak of the Special Grade and attempt to break through to the King Grade.

People were more inclined to give her the xiezhi crown.

So here's the question: why couldn't my senior brother try to get promoted a few more times during the ten-plus years in between?

The current Xie Zhi often has to leave the various Xia states wearing the Xie Zhi crown, and can only return once every one or two years, or even four or five years.

My senior master doesn't have many opportunities left to advance his career using the Xie Zhi crown.

Fa Tian didn't want to compete with his senior master, and being naturally lazy and unwilling to work a nine-to-five job, he simply stayed at the Divine Capital Academy as a teacher at the Array Domain Academy.

"...Too talkative."

After waiting for the Chow Chow to finish explaining, Fatian grabbed a handle from the side and threw it at the Chow Chow.

Snapped!

The one-horned Chow Chow cried out in pain.

After hearing this, Zhou Chen felt a little relieved.

He still prefers an environment where everyone is kind and compassionate, rather than one where people fight and harm each other.

Seeing that things were almost done, Fatian stood up and said, "I'm leaving. If you need anything, talk to Fawangni. If Fawangni can't handle it, call me."

She shared her phone number and friends with Zhou Chen.

"If you have nothing to do, come to the Xie Zhi Hall or the Bai Ze Hall. You can meditate, play on your phone, or sleep. It's better than a quiet room."

【Quiet Room】.

A place that can double the efficiency of meditation. If the efficiency of ordinary meditation is one, then the efficiency of meditation in a quiet room is two.

It can also dispel the negative effects of meditation.

The unicorn lion said, "The Auspicious Rain Palace also has a similar effect to the Quiet Room, but it is slightly inferior."

"Really? It seems so."

Zhou Chen took a moment to observe and found that while the environment here was indeed rustic, it brought him a great sense of peace, and he didn't need to worry about the negative effects of meditation.

The disciples of the Wanfa Sect are eating really well!

The Chow Chow with the unicorn said, "With your talent, if you work a little harder here, you'll definitely become an intermediate card master before you turn twenty!"

"Twenty years old..." Zhou Chen seemed to be deep in thought.

The one-horned Chow Chow thought he didn't believe him. "Would I lie? Look at my horn, isn't it not shining?"

Zhou Chen was speechless. "You're not Pinocchio..."

"What is Pinocchio? Is it a foreign spirit card?"

The unicorn chow chow, puzzled, encouraged him, "Anyway, good luck, kid! When the time comes, with your intermediate card master physique, crush all the other card masters in the Youth Championship and win the global championship!"

"Hehehe."

Zhou Chen gave a perfunctory smile.

Twenty years old?

If he can only reach the intermediate level at the age of twenty, then all his cheat codes have been for nothing!

You're only at the intermediate level? I'll get promoted to the top in the first half of next year!

Zhou Chen was very confident about this; he even believed that he could be promoted to senior card master before he turned twenty.

He started packing his luggage.

When the one-horned Chow Chow saw the pile of monster meat, it couldn't help but exclaim, "Why do you have so much luggage? Why did you buy so much meat?"

"Feed the dog." Zhou Chen thought this guy occasionally spouted nonsense.

To everyone's surprise, the one-horned Chow Chow put on a shy expression and said, "Feed me? I'm so sorry, but I have some high standards."

Zhou Chen glanced at it sideways.

The unicorn chow chuckled and said, "Just kidding. The refrigerator is downstairs, but Xiangyu Palace doesn't have a kitchen. If you want to cook for yourself, you'll have to find someone to build one for you."

Is it troublesome?

"No trouble at all. It can be built this afternoon. The Wanfa Sect has many strongmen who do odd jobs. The two that Fatian just called over are them."

The unicorn crow casually said, "The Myriad Laws Sect focuses on array domains. Once you learn it, you'll be able to do many things independently."

Zhou Chen said, "But it seems that not many freshmen have chosen the array domain..."

"It doesn't matter. In the field of array domains, quality is more important than quantity. It's enough to have one or two geniuses every now and then."

The unicorn chow chow paused for a moment, then said, "Although you level up quickly, you may not be very talented in array formations."

It flicked its tail and said, "Don't be fooled by the fact that the array seems to know how to insert cards and use it. There are actually many tricks to it."

Zhou Chen replied intermittently, and after he had almost finished packing, he opened his phone to check Lu Qingning and the others' messages.

The interview started at 6 a.m., and it's a little past 9 a.m. now.

The four of them created a small group chat, and sure enough, the group chat shared the good news that Mei Xian had passed the interview and chosen the Secret Realm Academy.

Congratulations, Sister Mei!

He sent several congratulatory emojis.

Before coming here, he revealed his whereabouts in the group chat, and immediately said, "Come celebrate with me."

Zhou Chen confirmed with the Unicorn Chow Chow that he could bring his friends in.

Lu Qingning and the others were also curious about where he lived, and they all agreed.

The person and the dog still rode in the flying carriage, which was spacious with two rows of seats, more than enough to fit four people and a dog.

Lu Qingning and her friends bought a lot of food and, guided by Zhou Chen, found a secluded spot.

The group was stunned when they saw the flying carriage.

"A celestial chariot! The Myriad Laws Sect is so ancient!"

"Wow, this feels like an ancient costume fantasy drama. This is the first time I've ever ridden in something like this."

"That's amazing..."

Of the three, only Mei Xian gave a positive evaluation, while the other two had more complaints.

When Zhou Chen first saw this thing, his attitude was similar to Lu Qingning and the others: "There are even more powerful ones to come."

"Even more intense?"

Amidst their confusion and anticipation, Lu Qingning and the others finally saw the Auspicious Rain Palace.

This thing is really powerful.

"Did I time travel? I'm going to wear Hanfu next time I come here!" Han Baobao was very excited, and Mei Xian's eyes also shone brightly.

Only Lu Qingning savored the ambiance, exclaiming, "This...is a great place!"

She could sense the difference between Xiangyu Palace and the outside world.

Lu Qingning exclaimed in admiration, "The Divine Capital Academy is indeed incredibly wealthy and powerful."

She looked at Zhou Chen and smiled, "In the next stage, I plan to make moving into this palace my goal."

"Sister Lu..."

Zhou Chen knew that if Lu Qingning went to the Shanghai Academy, she would definitely be able to stay in a place similar to this.

But in order to get away from the Shen family, she decided to start from scratch.

To enter the Wanfa Sect, talent is important, but academic performance is even more important.

But Zhou Chen believed Lu Qingning could definitely do it, "Go, Sister Lu!"

"Ah."

Lu Qingning nodded with a smile.

Suddenly.

She seemed to remember something, and before Zhou Chen could react, she went up and hugged him, whispering, "Congratulations on getting first place."

The two of them had agreed to be in the top three, but Zhou Chen ended up getting first place.

This was quite beyond Lu Qingning's expectations.

Zhou Chen looked at Qingmei retreating, paused for a moment, and then said, "Sister Lu... give me another hug, the one before doesn't count."

"roll!"

Lu Qingning said, embarrassed and annoyed.

Chapter 153: The Love Trap (25/106)

The interview at Shen Du Academy was by no means a mere formality.

Unless they are recruited privately by the school in advance like Zhou Chen, the vast majority of candidates have to go through this final hurdle.

Unlike special admissions such as summer camps, the unified admissions process is more diverse, involving people from all over the country.

The scions of prominent families naturally made up the largest number.

Of course, the Divine Capital Academy warmly welcomes scions of noble families from all over China, as long as they have talent and ability.

But "young masters" and "princess" are not welcome.

As the final test before the interview, the team's secret test is where the school wants to see what they can develop and what their shortcomings are.

After all, when people are getting along with unfamiliar people in unfamiliar environments, it is easy for their own shortcomings to be exposed.

Therefore, even those with scores in the top 600, many candidates from prestigious families almost failed to gain admission to the Divine Capital Academy.

For example, Qin Yulan.

She thought the interview was purely to confirm her future direction and to secure her own interests, but she didn't expect the interviewer to ask her about her opinions on Zhou Chen, Xing Keji, and others.

The interviewer also asked her why she had killed someone in her hometown.

Qin Yulan almost broke down, but fortunately, after she calmed down and explained the reasons, the interviewer did not ask her any more personal questions and allowed her to enroll in the third tier.

Another example is Kaori Utsunomiya.

The interviewer asked her about her opinion on Tianzhijiajiu and whether she would be willing to change her core spirit beast if necessary.

Kaori Utsunomiya stated that since she had come to Shintsuin, she was willing to accept any arrangements.

As a result, she was allowed to enroll in the first tier of admissions, and received additional credits, quiet time, and other rewards for her ranking in the entrance exam.

Xing Keji, Gu Xiaobo, Su Xuanzhen...

Everyone was asked things they were reluctant to talk about, and each person gained different insights.
