Fire Dragon Valley

"What call?"

Not only Mo Fan, but also Jiang Yunming, the head of the Summoning Department, and Gu Han were very curious. If Lin Chen led the team, then the Imperial Capital Academy would undoubtedly be suppressed by the Pearl Academy this time.

"The principal of Imperial Capital Academy said: If Lin Chen is among the students participating in this exchange, Imperial Capital Academy might as well just admit defeat. Two commander-level summoned beasts, this is simply a high-level mage wearing the shell of a mid-level mage to bully people."

Dean Xiao felt even happier when he recalled the tone of the principal of the Imperial Capital Academy on the phone. This was the first time he had seen the principal of the Imperial Capital Academy so urgently requesting that he not allow a student to become an exchange student.

In previous years, when I met with the principal of the Imperial Capital Academy, he always acted as if he were the most important person in the world.

"Dean, our Pearl Academy should have its own opinions and not just believe whatever others say. The more the Imperial Capital Academy is afraid of Lin Chen, the more we should send Lin Chen up there to scare them to death," Mo Fan advised.

"Lin Chen has other tasks," Dean Xiao said, shaking his head. "Besides, the exchange between academies is meant to allow everyone to learn from each other's strengths and make up for each other's weaknesses. If Lin Chen were to participate, he wouldn't be of much use."

In fact, Dean Xiao really wanted to send Lin Chen, but as he said, Lin Chen had other things to do.

For Lin Chen's better future development, he had to give up this opportunity to crush the Imperial Capital Academy. However, Mingzhu Academy was very lucky, as this year's class also produced a genius named Mo Fan.

Although Mo Fan didn't attract much attention in Lin Chen's shadow, based on the information gathered over the past few days, Dean Xiao discovered that Mo Fan's talent and potential were also quite astonishing, and he had a high chance of winning even against the Imperial Academy.

After listening to Dean Xiao's words, Mo Fan gave Lin Chen a resentful look.

Look at them, they were explicitly forbidden from participating in exchange programs by the principal of the capital's prestigious university, while I was sent by the school to live under someone else's roof, to be looked down upon, and to be beaten up.

No! I certainly won't get beaten up, but I'll inevitably get infuriated by those arrogant guys. If I can't help but kill one or two of them, I'll have to pay compensation, and I don't have that kind of spare money.

Seeing Mo Fan's pained expression, Dean Xiao was too lazy to continue persuading him and directly threw out his own bargaining chip.

"I know that going to a university in the capital as an exchange student can be quite stressful, so we will prepare some extra rewards for the students going this time to make up for their shortcomings."

After Dean Xiao finished speaking, he flipped his right hand, and a necklace appeared in front of everyone.

"For example, this is a mind-controlling magic artifact that can ensure that a magician can successfully control the stars and release magic even after being subjected to a mental attack."

Mo Fan looked at the Mind-Concentrating Magic Artifact that Dean Xiao had taken out, pondered for a moment, and then immediately said, "I agree."

Upon hearing this, Dean Xiao handed the Mind-Concentrating Magic Artifact in his hand to Mo Fan.

Mo Fan took the Mind-Concentrating Magic Artifact and put it around his neck, covering up his little mudfish pendant.

"You've accepted everything. This time, when you go to the Imperial Capital Academy, you'd better make a name for yourself with the power of our Pearl Academy. Don't let the principal of the Imperial Capital Academy tell me in the end that your school is nothing except for that Lin Chen!" Dean Xiao reminded him.

"Don't worry, Dean Xiao. Although I can't scare the other side like Lin Chen did the moment he appeared, I guarantee that if they dare to cause trouble, I'll beat them so badly that even their own parents wouldn't recognize them," Mo Fan said with a grin. He was sure he would put in a lot of effort if there were benefits to be had.

"Just don't cause a huge mess like Lin Chen did." Dean Xiao glared at Mo Fan, then turned his gaze to Lin Chen: "Alright, now it's your turn."

As soon as Dean Xiao finished speaking, curiosity gleamed in the eyes of Mo Fan and the others. They also wanted to know what kind of mission had made Dean Xiao give up choosing Lin Chen to lead the team and bring glory to the school.

"Lin Chen, do you remember what I told you a year ago? If your summoned beast can approach the commander level before the end of this semester, I will provide you with a mysterious opportunity," Dean Xiao asked.

The image flashed through Lin Chen's mind, and he quickly remembered it.

"Of course I remember. I've been waiting for the dean to tell me about this," Lin Chen said.

Dean Xiao nodded, walked to his desk, opened the right drawer, took out a stack of documents, and handed them to Lin Chen.

When Lin Chen saw the four large characters "Fire Dragon Valley" on the first page of the document, his pupils widened suddenly, and he immediately opened the document to read it carefully.

Seeing Lin Chen's changing expressions, Dean Xiao nodded in satisfaction. It seemed that his guess was correct; this place was indeed of great use to Lin Chen.

"A year ago, a group of hunter mages sensed an inexplicable pressure in the mountains near Xining City in our country. During their investigation, they discovered the remains of some demons containing extremely powerful energy. After returning to Xining City, they sold everything they found and collected to the Hunter Alliance."

"Therefore, the Hunter Alliance immediately organized a group of experts and powerful individuals to explore and study that place. In the end, they found a valley. From the pressure and energy emanating from the valley, as well as the remains found nearby, they speculated that a fire dragon once lived there, and its strength should have been around that of a peak monarch," Dean Xiao said.

"Shouldn't the things left behind by a creature of this strength attract many super-level mages? How could they be an opportunity for Lin Chen?" Mo Fan asked.

"Because a high-level mage has been there. Besides many demons containing dragon blood, there are some fire dragon remains and other unknown treasures, but they are somewhat useless to high-level mages." Lin Chen explained after reading all the information: "Moreover, the residual pressure there can only be overcome with superior strength. The stronger the strength, the greater the impact. Only low-level mages can enter. It wasn't until a year later that high-level mages could barely enter."

"That's right. It's too dangerous for novice mages to go to Fire Dragon Valley, so we've waited until now to send some powerful mid-level and high-level mages to explore it. And I'm going to recommend you to our Pearl Academy," Dean Xiao said.

Lin Chen was quite moved. He knew that when Dean Xiao told him, his strength had not yet been shown. At that time, Dean Xiao had prepared an opportunity for him based solely on his talent. Dean Xiao truly deserved to be a qualified teacher.

"By the way, this operation is mainly a joint exploration by the Hunter Alliance, my Pearl Academy, and several major forces. The people going there are not just young people, so you should be careful," Dean Xiao reminded him.

Lin Chen nodded. He had no reason to refuse this opportunity. Perhaps Guilmon would evolve during this opportunity, and Greymon's peak strength would also be greatly improved.
