Chapter 38

After several rounds of coordination, the two also developed some good rapport in efficiency.

After leaving the instance, Lu Qingyu quickly used a Basic Cooldown Talisman.

In less than ten-odd seconds, the two re-entered the Nightmare Level Death Mine Dungeon.

This time upon entering, Lu Qingyu seemed to have become a different person.

As she followed Jiang Chen running, she was full of excitement.

Her face was full of excited expressions, making Jiang Chen feel somewhat strange looking at her.

What is this?

Has she undergone atavistic reversal?

Her excited state showed on her face, making Jiang Chen feel somewhat surprised.

Jiang Chen was speechless, wondering if merely clearing a wave of monsters and exploding another wave could really make her this excited.

After all, this is just a basic dungeon; it hardly seems worth such excitement.

Does this girl really need to be this worked up?

Lu Qingyu noticed the strange expression in Jiang Chen's eyes and, taking the opportunity, said, "What are you looking at? Haven't you seen a beauty before?"

Sigh, I've been looking at you for three years, and now you finally realize you're a beauty...

Jiang Chen smiled helplessly, thinking to himself that he and Lin Caier were friends, while Lu Qingyu was a classmate.

Lin Caier is petite and cute, while Lu Qingyu is tall and haughty; each has her own merits, hard to compare.

It's like radish grapes, milk soy milk—each has its own characteristics!

Although Lu Qingyu is intentionally or unintentionally clinging to him, he hasn't developed any special feelings.

After less than ten minutes, the Nightmare Level boss, the Goblin King, collapsed again before Jiang Chen.

Jiang Chen whispered, "There are still four times."

The two then consecutively ran the instance four more times, the whole process taking less than an hour.

Lu Qingyu exhausted the uses of the Basic Cooldown Talisman, causing it to go from bright glowing to being indistinguishable from an ordinary stone.

In Lu Qing

In her hand it turned dim, certainly cannot be used again.

Jiang Chen took a close look, and the energy of the Cooldown Talisman was visibly fading...

Only careful observation can see that some runes are still engraved inside the talisman.

Lu Qingyu put away the Cooldown Talisman and explained, "The talisman needs to go back for recharging; the recharging process is quite complicated and requires a senior alchemist to complete. As for how senior, I'm not sure either."

Although this item is not consumable, wanting to complete recharging for reuse is probably not that easy either...

After completing four instance runs, Lu Qingyu's level had already reached Level 14, with experience at 20%.

After two more runs, she will definitely reach Level 15.

Meanwhile, Jiang Chen is still at Level 15, with experience at 85%.

After Level 15, when the two team up to run one instance, they only gain 26% experience, and efficiency clearly slows down.

With one and a half days left until the college entrance exam, they can still run two instances.

Lu Qingyu excitedly said, "If we can reach Level 15 before the major exam, I'm absolutely certain to get into Shenlong University."

She then looked at Jiang Chen and said, "Jiang Chen, you're about to level up too, right?"

Jiang Chen nodded and said, "Pretty much."

Lu Qingyu temporarily stopped comparing herself with Jiang Chen; further comparison would only add to her own worries.

She turned her beautiful eyes and pondered.

"By then you'll be Level 16 and I Level 15; this year our Baiyun City might have two people admitted to Shenlong University, and Principal Lu would laugh in his dreams."

For high school principals, having a student admitted to Shenlong University is the utmost honor.

Shenlong University admits only 1000 students each year,

while these spots are often occupied by families from big cities, making it hard for students from small cities to compete.

Every year, the difficulty of getting into Shenlong University in the college entrance exam is the highest and most difficult among all higher institutions.

Only true geniuses of the Shenlong Empire are qualified to enter Shenlong University.

In other words, students with heavenly pride talent are precisely what Shenlong University needs most.

They complement each other and achieve mutual success!

The 1000 students Shenlong University admits each year are, without exception, cultivated into outstanding heavenly pride talents for the Shenlong Empire.

However, these spots are all taken by big families, and the forces of small localities simply cannot compete with those big families.

Lu Qingyu continued, "Last year Jiang Ruo got into Shenlong University, and Principal Cheng celebrated for several days; moreover, a few years ago Li Xinghe also entered Shenlong University, becoming renowned as a genius, and the principal still often mentions him to this day..."

In short, being able to enter Shenlong University is the utmost honor.

The two found a place to sit down, and since the Cooldown Talisman had been exhausted, they could only wait for the instance cooldown to end.

Lu Qingyu said, "Jiang Chen, do you want to try aiming for top scholar?"

Jiang Chen turned his head and said, "Provincial Top Scholar?"

"Mm-hmm."

Lu Qingyu said, "If you can become Provincial Top Scholar, you can earn many points, and points are very useful in Shenlong University."

"The most important thing is that you have a chance to join the Dragon Clan Academy."

Jiang Chen recalled what Lin Caier had said, that in Shenlong University points are more useful than gold coins.

Moreover, Lin Caier also mentioned the Dragon Clan Academy.

"Do you know about the Dragon Clan Academy?"

Jiang Chen hoped to obtain some information about the Dragon Clan Academy from Lu Qingyu.

Lin Caier only

She just mentioned it briefly, without elaborating.

She also said that once he arrives at Shenlong University, he'll naturally know.

Lu Qingyu curled her legs, 'Specifically I'm not entirely clear either; I just heard my dad mention it.'

"The Dragon Clan Academy is probably the most powerful academy in our Shenlong Empire."

"Shenlong University admits only Heavenly Pride elites, while those in the Dragon Clan Academy are the top-tier among the Heavenly Pride."

"Dad said the Dragon Clan Academy is hard to get into, saying I probably have no chance."

"But I think you have a chance; you can give it a try."

"I heard that senior Su Qianxing previously entered the Dragon Clan Academy, and he's the only one from our Baiyun City."

Lu Qingyu looked at Jiang Chen with dazzling light in her eyes, she genuinely felt Jiang Chen had a chance.

Jiang Chen used an unprecedented method to bring her through the Nightmare Dungeon.

It completely refreshed her cognition.

She could no longer compare Jiang Chen's profession with what she had learned.

"If I have the chance, I'll give it a try."

Jiang Chen said softly, he will definitely go to Shenlong University, where his sister Jiang Ruo is.

If he has the chance, he also wants to try the Dragon Clan Academy.

Lu Qingyu's eyes suddenly lit up, pointing at the instance entrance and saying, 'Isn't that Yue Dapeng?'

Indeed it was Yue Dapeng, standing at the instance doorway, seemingly looking for a party.

Lu Qingyu tossed a Detection Technique over, hehe laughing, 'I didn't expect this big idiot to already be Level 11, too bad he's a Knight, hard to find a party.'

Clearing instances requires a Knight, and also requires a Knight of a certain level.

A Level 11 Knight cannot withstand monsters in the instance at all.

Even for a normal-level instance, at least a Level 13 Knight is needed.

Sure enough, Yue Dapeng searched

After going around, he still couldn't find a party, his face full of disappointment.

Jiang Chen said, 'Bring him along.'

Lu Qingyu hehe laughed, 'No problem for me.'

Sure enough, Yue Dapeng is a case of 'fool's luck'!
