Chapter 173: Reincarnation is a skillful endeavor, can I send you to be reborn?

“It seems that there are quite a few secrets within the Dragon Academy. It looks like on this first day of admission, there will be an evaluation targeted at new students. You two stick close to me and be careful,” he advised.
After giving instructions, Zi Liyuan took the lead, opening his attribute panel and immediately looked at the skill slot.
Especially when he saw the “Summon Skeleton” skill could be directly activated, a playful smile appeared on his face.
This village, too, contained Formation restrictions that suppressed some of the physical attributes of professionals but did not ban the use of skills.
That was quite thought-provoking.
Regardless, while Dragon Academy might be setting traps for new students, they wouldn’t go so far as to kill anyone.
Thus, the trio merely increased their vigilance and were not over-concerned about other matters.
After arriving at the central gathering place in the village, there were already several thousand people assembled.
The newcomers were grouped in small clusters, getting to know each other, or deepening exchanges with acquaintances they found.
But when Zi Liyuan and his two companions arrived, a somewhat familiar figure approached them.
“Lord Zi Liyuan, the young lady invites you to join her for a chat.”
“Lead the way.”
It wasn’t difficult to guess who would have such grandeur.
Hence the trio didn’t waste words and directly followed.
Before long, they came to a circle surrounded by people, who didn’t block the way but instead made an opening to let the three enter.
“Members of the royal family are indeed surrounded by attendants wherever they go.”
After murmuring to himself, Zi Liyuan entered the central circle and saw Ying Xueji, Liu Shengnan, Zhu Wu, and Li Fengwen leisurely eating honey glazed bear paws?
“I don’t want this either, but who asked for our exceptional birth skills? That’s something you won’t be able to envy,” said one.
The only person who could speak so shamelessly was, of course, Li Fengwen,
“Being reborn is indeed a skillful task. Although I haven’t learned it, I can help you study this skill a few more times,” Zi Liyuan said with a full-faced smile, but the words that came out were chilling, making Li Fengwen inexplicably feel a chill down his spine.
Truly a brute who thinks of solving problems with violence at the drop of a hat.
According to the records, his literature exam broke the historical record for the highest score and he is the only one to achieve full marks as the top scholar. Could he be the legendary book devourer?
Ever since games invaded reality, cultural scores were sort of important, but also not important; it mainly depended on one’s own future development.
In a world of the extraordinary, the strong are still revered, but literacy can make one wise. When conquering dungeons, perhaps knowledge would be key to clearing them, right?
After all, those who can bulldoze through dungeons are still few and far between.
“Alright, Zi Liyuan, the reason we called you here is to see if you have made any progress.
“Furthermore, I’m to tell you that the Ancient Noble Families have great disdain for you, and half of the students in the Dragon Academy belong to noble families.
“Lastly, it’s to evaluate you. Perhaps in the future, we might have many opportunities for cooperation,” Ying Xueji said, cutting through the brimming bromance between the two men to state her purpose directly.
“Cooperation, of course, there will be some. Who doesn’t want more powerful teammates? Thanks for the heads-up this time,” he responded.
He nodded in agreement, tacitly accepting the other party’s friendly overture.
In the current Great Xia Empire, though the imperial top brass held the four major royal families in check, one must not underestimate their power within the Sea of Realms.
To put it bluntly, the Great Xia Empire of today even relies on the four great dynasties within the Sea of Realms to get by.
Being able to connect with a direct descendant of the four major royal families was nothing short of an opportunity for his own development.
As for the many Ancient Noble Families, Zi Liyuan chuckled, actually looking forward to them causing trouble for him.
They were all students of the Dragon Academy, subjected to the academy’s rules. Why would he fear them?
Just fight and be done with it!
He’d utterly defeat them all, creating a psychological shadow in their minds, making them take a detour whenever they saw him!
Suppressing his fellow students no longer satisfied Zi Liyuan’s twisted psychological goals.
Especially during these days when he was idle and bored, after gathering a lot of internal information about the Dragon Academy through Uncle Wang’s channels, he was even more looking forward to students from the second, third, or even fourth year coming to trouble him.
Despite possessing a whopping 111,510 Contribution Value, it was far from enough for his expenses!
Given that, of course, he had to rake in more Contribution Value. The new students from his year just weren’t enough—his gaze naturally turned towards the senior students from the second, third, and fourth years.
So, after joining the Dragon Academy, his first order of business was to collect protection money?
Zi Liyuan didn’t stay long, especially after he noticed the four guys eyeing Number Two and Shen Yurou with a certain hungry anticipation in their eyes, he promptly took his leave with his group.
That look of hunger, Zi Liyuan was all too familiar with it—it was the urgent gaze of spotting a rare talent and wanting to recruit them immediately.
What puzzled Zi Liyuan was that it made sense for them to show such expressions towards Number Two, but why towards Shen Yurou as well?
Moreover, he noticed that their gazes towards Xiao Yurou were even more intense, which didn’t make sense.
Could it be that during Xiao Yurou’s assessment at the Dragon Academy, the series of blueprints she submitted had been overheard by the higher authorities, thus coming to their attention?
Zi Liyuan could only think of this explanation because anyone who had seen those series of blueprints, unless they were willfully creating trouble or pretending to be blind, knew how valuable they were.
Without any exaggeration, within the small group that Zi Liyuan had formed, the ones with the greatest potential for development were only himself and Xiao Yurou.
He himself had clung tightly to the black silk legs of the goddess of fortune, his wife, as well as the shards of a certain divine crystal, relying on these two cheats to rise step by step on his own.
Meanwhile, Shen Yurou relied purely on her own talent, along with a little inspiration he had provided, to grow rapidly and even possess infinite potential for development.
“Brother Zi, Brother Zi, haha, I’ve finally found you.”
As Lord Zi was pondering some issues, a raspy shouting voice nearby broke his train of thought.
An overweight figure was seen squeezing through the crowd and quickly jogged over. If it wasn’t Wang Tie, who else could it be?
“Brother Zi, sis-in-laws, hello, haha, if it wasn’t for Brother Zi’s help, I could never have passed the Dragon Academy assessment. I am so grateful.
Oh right, Brother Zi, this is a thank-you gift from my dad.”
Wang Tie’s face was full of gratitude, and when he smiled, his chubby cheeks only allowed a crescent slit for his eyes.
[Ding, Wang Tie has sent you a trade request. Do you accept? Yes/No?]
Zi Liyuan did not think too much and clicked accept. Then, in the trade panel, there appeared the dried-up bones of a fierce monster.
