Divine Flame Crystal

"Xingluo, you did really well last time! Vice President Orton wants to meet you, come with me." Xingluo had just walked out of the dormitory that day when he was stopped by the proud-looking Linglan.

"Okay, beautiful director!" Xingluo said exaggeratedly.

Linglan looked at the fat man and became more and more annoyed. She snorted, turned around and walked forward, not wanting to pay any more attention to the fat man.

Xingluo hurriedly caught up. At this time, his head just reached Linglan's chest. Looking at the beautiful figure in front of him, Xingluo's pretentious look collapsed in an instant.

Fortunately, Linglan had turned around, otherwise Xingluo’s fat face would have become even fatter.

Not long after, they arrived at the vice-president's office. Linglan stopped and was about to knock on the door.

Xingluo didn't know if he really didn't have time to stand firm and bumped into Linglan.

Suddenly, Xingluo felt the air seemed to have turned cold. He hurriedly took a step back, only to see Linglan looking at him with murderous eyes.

"Sorry, I didn't stand firmly." Xingluo said with a dry laugh.

"Hmph!" Linglan turned around and ignored him. After all, this was outside the vice president's office, and she couldn't get angry.

"Come in." The vice-president's loud voice came through the door. Linglan did not dare to delay and opened the door and walked in first. Xingluo followed closely behind. After they entered, the heavy door slowly closed again.

The vice president was sitting opposite them. He looked up at Xingluo, who still looked like a child. After a long while, he said, "Xingluo! Not bad, not bad. Very much to my taste! I enjoyed watching you slap Turner that day!"

"Ahem!" Linglan coughed, and the vice-president stopped talking.

"Xingluo, I won't waste my words with you. I am a straightforward person and don't like those things that are roundabout.

You have been in Luoshen Academy for almost a year, so you must be very familiar with this academy. I previously agreed to give you three top-level magician meals a day, which is the highest level of benefit I can approve.

This is not only a reward for the top student, but also a reflection of some guilt towards Luoshen Village. After all, it was our academy's failure to do well this time that led to the previous tragedy. I should have talked to you about it earlier.

I was delayed by some things and only found the time now. Xingluo, please don't blame us!" At this point, Orton stopped and looked at Xingluo. He found that his eyes contained a hint of sadness, but he was still calm. He nodded and continued: "However, after the discussion of the board of directors, if you cannot rank in the top three after the second year, your benefits will still be taken back. After all, we can't break the rules because of you.

So I came to you this time to tell you that there will be a grade ranking competition waiting for you next semester, and there will be one every year at the beginning of the school year. The ranking will also be displayed on the magic tablet on your last entrance examination platform.

Do your best. There are many strong guys in the second grade. Although your spatial magic talent is strong, your spells are too simple in the early stage. Be prepared. I am very optimistic about you!"

Linglan seemed to have long been accustomed to Vice President Orton's straightforward way of speaking, and did not seem too surprised. However, he was not shy about telling her about her identity as a special admissions student of Xingluo. It seemed that the academy had great trust in this proud dean.

After leaving the office, Xingluo's ears were still buzzing. The vice president's loud voice was enough to kill anyone. Rubbing his aching ears, Xingluo fell into deep thought.

"The vice-president specially asked me to come here. I'm sure there will be many masters in the second-year ranking test. It's time to buy some magic equipment. Those nobles have them. They are so enviable."

"Hello, my name is Atlantis. Are you interested in joining our Atlan family?" A young man dressed as a nobleman suddenly jumped out and blocked Xingluo's way.

Xingluo looked up at the young man in front of him who was wearing a pair of gold-rimmed glasses. His voice was very clear and his eyes were very sincere, without the arrogance of other nobles. He had golden hair and long eyelashes, and when he smiled, there seemed to be a scent of sunshine that could dispel the haze in people's hearts.

Xingluo couldn't help but sigh inwardly that a sunny boy like Atlantis must be liked by many girls, and even boys have such a good impression of him.

"Sorry, I don't have any plans for now." Xingluo actually felt a little ashamed when he said this. The other party's personal charm was hard to refuse.

"It's okay. The Atlan family is always open to you." Atlantis smiled even more brightly. Although he was rejected, he didn't care at all.

Since the last Turner incident, countless families have extended olive branches to him, but among the four major families, Atlan is the first.

The Atlan Family ranks second among the four major families, far stronger than Turner's Black Spider Family. Moreover, in terms of the length of history, it ranks first among the four major families. Their shadow seems to be present in many dynasty changes on the continent.

Xingluo doesn’t want to join any family for the time being. Compared to the support of a family, he seems to prefer more freedom.

Today is December 12th. Looking at the calendar on the table, Xingluo felt a little sad. He raised his hand to open the safe containing the magic cores and took out 14 magic cores in one breath.

He put the magic cores into an animal skin bag, muttering, "This is all for the sake of saving my life. It's an investment in myself. There will be more returns in the future."

Stepping out of the academy gate, Xingluo looked at the street vendors and did not stop, but went straight to the largest auction house in Luoshen City, Xingyao. It is said that this is a chain auction house with countless branches throughout the continent, and even the underground dark world seems to have their branches.

What caught the eye was a cylindrical flat-roofed building. There were a lot of defensive magics flickering on the gray outer wall. The rich magical atmosphere dispelled people's greed.

At the entrance is a scale sculpture, lying across the gate, with four dazzling stars twinkling on it, adding a sense of mystery to the sculpture.

As Xingluo walked around the sculpture and entered the door, she was stopped by someone. "Hello, sir, please show me your ID," a sweet voice came from a girl who was scantily clad but had an extremely innocent look.

Xingluo was amazed in her heart: Even the doorman is so beautiful, it seems that I came to the right place this time.
