Loong Chen's understanding was that a Level 2 Beginner Evolver possessed attributes around 5000, a Level 2 Mid-Rank Evolver about 10,000, and a Level 2 High-Rank Evolver around 15,000.
After consuming the genetic potion, Loong Chen had officially advanced to the Level 2 Mid-Rank.
Both in terms of strength and defense, he had crossed the threshold into Level 2 High-Rank.
It was truly a potent effect, as expected from a genetic potion refined from a Level 4 High-Rank energy essence.
Loong Chen approached the desk, retrieved a pendant from the drawer, and etched a spatial mark onto it.
Afterward, he exited the room.
“Kui, safeguard this pendant diligently. If you ever find yourself in danger, crush it, and I'll immediately be at your side,” Loong Chen instructed with a serious demeanor.
Loong Kui was momentarily taken aback but accepted it nonetheless.
“Big brother, are you really leaving me?”
Tears welled up in Loong Kui's eyes. She had been inseparable from Loong Chen since childhood.
“I can only protect you to the best of my abilities. To grow stronger, I must journey to the Dragon God Temple.”
Loong Chen explained, emphasizing the necessity to become more powerful.
Loong Chen rubbed Loong Kui's head.
Although he was reluctant to leave Loong Kui, he had to do so.
In the post-apocalyptic world, lacking sufficient strength meant he couldn't shield the people dear to him.
“Don't fret. Within a year, I'll return for sure to fetch you.”
Loong Chen vowed, his confidence stemming from the system, which he believed would make him stronger within the year.
Loong Kui was still reluctant, but she was a sensible girl, so she still nodded.
“Brother, you don't have to worry about me. I will take care of myself.”
Loong Chen revealed a gratified smile.
However, at this moment, he recalled someone. Bai Xiaohan was the girl he had rescued in Death City and ventured into the treasure vault of the Tyrannical Saber Devil King with.
She appeared to be associated with Dongfang Academy.
Maybe he could have Loong Kui join Dongfang Academy. Once her exceptional talent awakened, she would be eligible to enter the academy as well.
Having Dongfang Academy as her support would provide some security for Loong Kui in Jinling City. Additionally, Bai Xiaohan would be by her side.
“Oh right, Kui, do you want to join the Dongfang Academy to learn?”
Loong Chen quickly asked.
“Dongfang Academy? Can I enter it?”
Loong Kui was a little uncertain. She had heard that the Dongfang Academy only recruited geniuses and Evolver.
“Of course. You have awakened the extraordinary talent, and it is even more powerful than the Evolver.”
Loong Chen explained with a smile. It seemed like his sister was still unaware of her talent.
“That's good. I want to join the Dongfang Academy. This way, I can become stronger. You don't have to worry about me anymore.”
Loong Kui said hastily.
He didn't expect her to be so excited because she didn't want Loong Chen to worry.
What a sensible girl.
Loong Chen brought Loong Kui to the Dongfang Academy.
The Dongfang Academy boasted branches in numerous human cities, holding a prestigious status as a global superpower.
Consequently, the Dongfang Academy held a prominent position within Jinling City. Although Loong Chen had never been there before, he easily obtained directions by inquiring.
Loong Chen had previously borrowed Bai Xiaohan's communicator to contact Loong Kui, leaving her contact information.
Reaching the Dongfang Academy, Loong Chen reached out to Bai Xiaohan.
Hearing that Loong Chen was on his way to see her, Bai Xiaohan brimmed with excitement and promptly shared her whereabouts: she was presently at the training grounds of the Dongfang Academy.
When reaching the training area, Loong Chen spotted Bai Xiaohan, who was scanning the surroundings.
“Xiaohan.”
Loong Chen greeted her with a smile.
Bai Xiaohan trembled when she heard Loong Chen's voice.
She swiftly turned her head, spotting someone she had longed for over the past few days.
No one could comprehend the joy that surged within her upon discovering that Loong Chen had come to find her. Loong Chen's unexplained departure had left her melancholy for quite some time.
Subsequently, she learned of Loong Chen's actions in taking down the Mo family patriarch.
At that moment, she believed herself unworthy of Loong Chen. She thought he must have forgotten about her.
“Senior Loong Chen.”
Bai Xiaohan was overwhelmed with excitement, uncertain about how to react. She yearned to approach Loong Chen but observed Loong Kui holding onto his arm.
Suddenly, she experienced a pang of solitude. Had Senior Loong Chen already found someone he cared for?
“Xiaohan, it's been a while. This is my younger sister, Loong Kui.”
Loong Chen introduced Bai Xiaohan to her.
When Bai Xiaohan heard Loong Chen mention Loong Kui as his younger sister, the loneliness in her eyes swiftly dissipated.
Loong Chen may not have noticed everything, but Loong Kui, also a female, couldn't help but perceive it. She regarded Bai Xiaohan and Loong Chen with an enigmatic smile.
Could it be that Bai Xiaohan had the intention of becoming her sister-in-law?
“You must be Xiaohan. My older brother has always spoken of you.”
Loong Kui smiled and addressed Bai Xiaohan. These words filled Bai Xiaohan with such excitement that her cheeks flushed crimson.
Could it be that Senior Loong Chen had taken an interest in her?
At that moment, Loong Chen was bewildered. He couldn't recall ever mentioning Bai Xiaohan to Loong Kui.
Did I perhaps suffer memory loss?
“Xiaohan, here's the situation. I'll be departing from Jinling City soon, so I'd like Kui to enroll in the Dongfang Academy.”
“On one hand, she can benefit from the protection of the Dongfang Academy. On the other hand, I hope you can look after her for me.” freewebn(o)vel
Loong Chen explained the purpose of his visit.
“Senior Loong Chen, you're leaving?”
Upon learning that Loong Chen was departing from Jinling City, Bai Xiaohan felt a sense of reluctance.
She couldn't pinpoint when she had developed feelings for Senior Loong Chen.
Perhaps it was the first time he had saved her from Liu Zhe, or maybe it was inside the Tyrannical Saber Devil King's treasure vault.
“En.”
Loong Chen nodded without elaborating.
“Xiaohan, can you guide us to the school registration?”
“Of course, Senior Loong Chen. Just follow me.”
Bai Xiaohan nodded and was about to lead the way.
However, just as they were about to depart, a group of teenagers, around fifteen or sixteen years old, intercepted them.
Among them, a well-dressed youth stood out.
“I was wondering why Junior Sister Bai left after taking the communicator. You didn't even wait for me, so you must be up to something.”
The affluent youth remarked with a malicious tone, simultaneously directing a hostile glare at Loong Chen.
Bai Xiaohan furrowed her brow and observed the newcomer.
“Is this your acquaintance?”
Loong Chen inquired impassively, as though he couldn't discern the enmity in the rich youth's gaze.
“Senior Loong Chen, please wait for a moment. I'll handle this.”
Bai Xiaohan apologized and then addressed the wealthy youth.
“Fann Wei, if you have something to discuss, we can do so later. I have a pressing matter at the moment.”
“Hehe, something important? Is your so-called ‘important matter' spending time with this individual?”
Fann Wei pointed at Loong Chen and spoke with a chilly tone.
