Chapter 82 Two Extremes, Refining Dragon Flame
Dean Xiao said calmly, "Since he applied to the Thunder Department, let him go to the Thunder Academy. However, Jiang Han, I'm very curious why you came to our Pearl Academy. With your talent, you could have gotten the best resources even if you went to the Imperial Capital Academy."
"No reason? Does that mean Dean Xiao doesn't welcome me?" Jiang Han said with a grin. "If there really is a reason, it's because there are too many geniuses at the Imperial Capital Academy, and the competition is fierce. I'm not only afraid of falling behind, but I'm also a bit lazy, so coming to Pearl Academy is the best choice for me."
Dean Xiao smiled and said, "Although Mingzhu Academy doesn't have as many prodigies as the academies in the capital, you shouldn't underestimate others. Besides, since you've chosen Mingzhu Academy, we certainly won't let you waste your talent and will give you some preferential treatment. However, you still need to work hard in your cultivation." Dean Xiao was quite serious when he talked about cultivation.
Each college is a process of natural selection, and while fairness and impartiality are important, those with exceptional talent will certainly receive preferential treatment.
"Then I'll thank Dean Xiao here," Jiang Han said with a smile.
"Haha, Jiang Han, right? Come on, I'll take you to our Lei Academy to familiarize yourself with the situation. In the entire Pearl Academy, apart from Dean Xiao, if anyone dares to bully you, just tell me, especially that Han Bin. I'll definitely teach him a lesson in no time." Shao Lei walked towards Jiang Han with a smile on his face.
"Hey Shao, what do you mean? Do you think I'm that kind of person? But Jiang Han, if you can't stand staying at Lei Academy, you can come to our Bing Academy. Our doors are always open for you." Han Bin said, pulling Shao Lei aside, still unwilling to give up.
Jiang Han just smiled and didn't say anything. It wasn't good to say anything either. It was a good thing that two big shots were fighting over him, but in this situation, it was better not to speak. It was not good to offend either of them.
"Go away, I'm taking Jiang Han to our Thunder Academy. You, Han, get out of my way." Shao Lei pushed Han Bin aside and then pulled Jiang Han away from the trial hall. Dean Xiao watched Jiang Han's departing figure and said with a smile, "This little guy is quite interesting."
Neither of the two instructors accompanying the assessment understood what Dean Xiao meant. On the contrary, Han Bin looked thoughtfully at Dean Xiao as he left, thinking to himself, "Could it be that Dean Xiao saw something in Jiang Han? It seems we need to find an opportunity to bring him to our Ice Academy. Don't blame me for being ruthless, Mr. Shao. It's just that Jiang Han's talent is too suitable for my Ice Academy."
There is competition among the various colleges within Mingzhu Academy. That's why Shao Lei from Lei College and Han Bin from Bing College almost got into a fight because of Jiang Han. If such an outstanding student were to graduate from their own college, it would be a remarkable achievement.
"Little Fatty, your ice skills may not be as good as Jiang Han's, but they're still pretty good. Come join our Ice Academy. Today has been an important lesson for you, letting you know that there are always people better than you, and that's a good thing for you." After Dean Xiao and Shao Lei left, Han Bin looked at Luo Song, who looked like he was constipated.
"I... um." Although Luo Song was very unhappy, he still agreed.

Mingzhu Academy is divided into two campuses: the Qing Campus and the Main Campus. Considering Jiang Han's strength, Shao Lei took him directly to Lei Academy on the Main Campus. Lei Academy on the Qing Campus could no longer accommodate such a prodigy as Jiang Han. Keeping him on the Qing Campus would be a bit of bullying the other freshmen. However, his student registration information will still be kept on the Qing Campus, and he will have to come back for any important assessments.
On the way to the dormitory, Shao Lei explained the specifics of Pearl Academy to Jiang Han. Besides the two campuses, Qing and Zhu, Pearl Academy was divided into the Water Academy (Water System), the Earth Academy (Earth System), the Fire Academy (Fire System), the Thunder Academy (Thunder System), the Light Academy (Light System), and three special academies: White Magic, Dimensional Magic, and Black Magic. Among the many academies, the Light Academy, Earth Academy, and Light Academy had the most students, totaling over ten thousand. The Thunder Academy, White Magic, Dimensional Magic, and Black Magic academies had fewer students, totaling only about two thousand.
Although there are few people in the Thunder faction, the resources are still plentiful. For example, the opportunity to enter the Three-Step Tower for cultivation can be obtained as long as you are among the top twenty in the academy. Given Jiang Han's strength, it shouldn't take him long to break into the top twenty in the entire academy.
Led by Shao Lei, Jiang Han went to his dormitory and then to the Lei Academy's training room.
The students of Lei Academy were stunned to see their director smiling and introducing the academy to a stranger. What was going on? How could the usually irritable Director Shao be so amiable? This was like a bride getting on her wedding day – a first for them.
"Holy crap, bro, you're going to slap me again and see if I'm dreaming?"
*Slap!* After the resounding slap, the student who did it exclaimed in surprise, "Holy crap, that really hurts! Looks like this isn't a dream."
The guy next to me who had been slapped spun around a couple of times, dizzy, before saying with a resentful look, "Ouch~, you actually went all out, and with such force. I think you're just jealous of your dad's handsome face."
"Get lost, or I'll kick you if you dare bastard again."
The students who greeted Shao Lei were simply waved away impatiently, telling them to get lost—a stark contrast to Jiang Han's treatment.
After Shao Lei left, Jiang Han went directly to the cultivation room of Lei Academy. He hadn't refined the spirit seed dragon flame that the system had rewarded him with yet, so he took this opportunity to refine the dragon flame and release Xue Ling from the cultivation space.
After learning that Xue Ling could improve her strength through cultivation, Jiang Han spent thousands of system points to get her a temporary residence card. It took Jiang Han a lot of persuasion to get this temporary residence card from his junior master. Luckily, his junior master didn't ask for too much, otherwise Jiang Han wouldn't have been able to afford the card.
Since being summoned to this world, Xue Ling hasn't consumed much of Jiang Han's magical energy. His master said that Xue Ling absorbed the bloodline of the Nine-Tailed Fox and underwent a transformation, making her no longer a pure summoned beast. She can't return to the dimensional space, but she can improve her cultivation and advance in rank through training. Therefore, Xue Ling doesn't have to endure the great pain of advancing in rank like Mo Fan's Ghost Wolf Beast. If that were the case, Jiang Han would probably feel quite sorry for her, as Xue Ling is so adorable and he wouldn't feel comfortable subjecting her to such torment.
After retrieving the dragon flame from the system, the entire training room was filled with scorching heat. If you were to crack an egg in the training room right now, you could eat it in just a few minutes. The blue-purple flames danced in Jiang Han's palm, and the scorching sensation spread from his palm throughout his body. At first, it was a bit unbearably hot, but he soon realized that the spiritual dragon flame was burning Jiang Han's skin.
Perhaps due to the system's design, Long Yan was quite docile and had a special sense of dependence on Jiang Han.
It naturally merged into Jiang Han's body and into his fire nebula. During this process, Jiang Han underwent the baptism of flames, and the orange-yellow flames continuously transformed under the modification of the dragon flames.
As the dragon flame merged with Jiang Han's body, his skin became remarkably lustrous and smooth. His blood, forged by the dragon flame, became incomparably noble. After the blood was forged, his meridians developed, followed by his bones. Under the hammering of the dragon flame, his bones became as hard as steel forged through countless hammer blows. The fire-elemental nebula in Jiang Han's spiritual world also began to change. The crimson nebula turned blue-purple, resembling a blooming, noble blue rose within the pitch-black spiritual world, alluring and captivating.
Jiang Han was enveloped in blue-purple flames, exuding an aura of terrifying power, like a fiery king descending upon the land.
