Epic Transformation: The Dragon Master Who Defies the Divine

Chapter 82: Advance Notice

Ding!!

At this moment.

All the freshmen of Fengtian Academy received a text message from the official academy.

"In light of the many disputes regarding the default rankings, after unanimous discussion among the deans, a final decision has been made..."

"The freshman grand exam originally scheduled for one month later will be held tomorrow at 9 AM in Arena No. 1!"

"All freshmen, please be prepared, adjust your state, and fully prepare for tomorrow's exam!"

"For details about the exam process, please visit the school's official website!"

Wow!!

When everyone saw this message.

A wave of uproar erupted!

"Wow! Finally, we can overthrow this damn initial ranking!"

"Qin Fan, right? Just you wait!"

"Great! With my level, I can at least rank in the top 300. I've had enough of being below 600!"

"Hmm... Looking forward to the exciting competitions among the prodigies!"

"......"

Boiling!

All the freshmen were completely boiling with excitement!

But...

Soon.

This excitement dissipated.

Because...

After logging into the official website, they saw that the school had added a new secret realm assessment before the individual competition!

And that secret realm dungeon was the famous 'Imperial Laboratory'!

This secret realm dungeon...

Never had a solo speedrun record!

Only team records!

This...

"Wow! This is just insane!"

"I feel like the school is trying to slap our faces..."

"Oh? How so?"

"Recently, haven't we been questioning Qin Fan for using connections to alter the secret realm clearance time in the backend data valley? The school might have added this secret realm assessment because of that..."

"What's the purpose?"

"Probably to have Qin Fan clear this secret realm to prove the school is fair and doesn't do insider operations?"

"Hmph! Might end up shooting themselves in the foot! Not to mention proving anything..."

"Just the question of whether Qin Fan can clear this secret realm solo is a big issue!"

"Indeed... So, team up?"

"Hurry up and team up, we can't handle this secret realm dungeon solo!"、

"......"

At the same time.

Villa No. 2.

Bai Wushuang was stroking the extremely obedient white dragon beside him while looking at the text message on his phone.

A cold, battle-ready smile finally appeared.

"Very good! Not just Qin Fan..."

"But also Luo Hao, Xu Niannian, and Fang Tairan..."

"Let me experience the strength of you so-called prodigies!"

"Let's see if your strength is greater or my dragon is stronger!"

He was full of confidence.

He believed he would climb to the top of the freshmen rankings in this exam!

And when he saw the additional secret realm assessment, he sneered even more!

Heh!

In past freshman exams, students would duel each other.

Rankings were simply about who was stronger.

But now it was different.

They added a secret realm assessment similar to the professional exam.

And it was a 20-30 level diamond secret realm!

Hmph!

His white dragon feared nothing!

The reason he failed in the Troll Cave before was only because he had to consider his teammates' safety.

In fact, he and his dragon could solo it!

At most, he just needed to be more careful.

Seeing this additional assessment, he was very happy.

Just the opportunity to prove to everyone...

How invincible he was with his dragon!!

……

Villa No. 3.

At this moment.

A small barbecue party was happening on the first-floor lawn.

It was worth mentioning that...

Besides Luo Tao, Feng Yuan, Su Rou, and Chen Wei.

Xu Niannian and Fang Tairan were also here eating and drinking.

It seemed that over the past few days, Xu Niannian and Fang Tairan had formed a shallow friendship with Luo Hao and the others.

The only boys were Luo Hao and Fang Tairan.

There were four girls: Xu Niannian, Su Rou, Feng Yuan, and Luo Tao.

These four girls had good looks, temperament, and figures.

Quite a feast for the eyes.

Passing freshmen saw this scene and were very envious of Luo Hao and Fang Tairan.

After all, it was a great thing to have a barbecue with four beautiful girls.

"Hmm!?"

"Everyone, look at your phones!"

Fang Tairan, who was enjoying his meal, suddenly reminded.

Everyone glanced at their phones.

Wow!

Sure enough.

Everyone's faces showed surprised expressions.

"The freshman grand exam really got advanced..."

Feng Yuan said in surprise.

"Not only advanced, but they also added the 'Imperial Laboratory' dungeon as a test."

Xu Niannian said.

"This dungeon is not simple..."

"It's said that no one has cleared it solo, the difficulty is very high."

Luo Tao said softly.

"Let's not talk about anything else..."

"It seems the freshmen have deep resentment and dissatisfaction with Qin Fan being number one, otherwise the school wouldn't advance the exam."

Luo Tao said with a smile.

"Sister Su Rou, did you see?"

"If you team up with him, you'll become a target!"

"And he definitely can't carry you through the Imperial Laboratory dungeon!"

Feng Yuan said with a smile.

Su Rou just forced a smile.

She was also wondering...

Was her choice really the right one?

Luo Hao suddenly gently held Su Rou's hand and said softly, "Don't worry, we can easily pass the Imperial Laboratory."

Su Rou was stunned.

Then she started to struggle.

But under Luo Hao's strong gaze, she finally gave up struggling.

Hopefully...

Hopefully, her choice was right.

Xu Niannian just watched with a smile.

She was most interested in this kind of melodrama.

She heard that Su Rou teamed up with Qin Fan during the college entrance exam.

And she had openly expressed her feelings for Qin Fan.

But as soon as they got to college, she teamed up with Luo Hao, leaving Qin Fan aside.

This plot was classic.

To be honest...

Xu Niannian didn't care much about competing.

Whoever got first place was fine, she just wanted to do her best.

She was just looking forward to what would happen next.

However, the likelihood was high that this would ultimately end with Luo Hao's victory.

How could a poor kid from Anning City compete against the young master of the Luo family, which has four fourth-turn powerhouses?

......

......

One night passed in the blink of an eye.

But many freshmen were too excited and nervous to sleep well.

Just past six o'clock, numerous freshmen got up for breakfast and checked their equipment and items.

University assessments were different from the professional exams.

Professional exams had many restrictions, such as limits on using health and mana potions and on item levels.

But the university assessment had no such restrictions.

You could use any means, as long as you could defeat your opponent!

After checking their gear, everyone headed towards Arena No. 1.

In Villa No. 1, Qin Fan also got up.

It wasn’t because he was excited or nervous...

But because these two little guys started making a fuss again!

Qin Fan had no choice but to wake up.

As for today's freshman grand exam, Qin Fan felt no emotional fluctuation.

The doubts about him...

The criticisms...

He didn't take them to heart.

His mind was entirely focused on these two mischievous little cuties.

"In the future, don't play and disturb my sleep when I'm resting!"

"Otherwise, no meat for you!"

Qin Fan pretended to scold angrily.

"Ga-woo!"

"Ying!"

The two little dragon cubs lifted their heads and adorably responded.

Whether they took it to heart, Qin Fan didn't know.

There was no choice...

The two dragon cubs were like little children.

You couldn't expect little children to behave perfectly.

And Qin Fan didn't want to take away their joy.

If he wanted, he could train them to be as obedient as puppies.

But in his eyes, these two dragon cubs were not pets but equal partners.

He intended to spend his life with these little companions.

So naturally, he couldn't treat them like pets and look down on them from above.

"Let's go, time to set off!"

After breakfast, Qin Fan, holding the two little dragon cubs, leisurely walked towards Arena No. 1.

......

At 8 AM, the grand and spacious Arena No. 1 was already bustling.

Many freshmen had arrived.

In the vast central area of the arena, as large as several football fields, stood numerous dazzling diamond gates reflecting the sunlight.

"Are these the diamond-level secret realm dungeons?"

Everyone stared intently at these magnificent diamond gates.

They seemed to sense the faint roar of fury coming from within the diamond gates.

"Hmm?"

"They're here!"

"Luo Hao, Bai Wushuang, Xu Niannian, Fang Tairan!"

As expected, the appearance of these prodigies made them the most eye-catching figures, drawing everyone's attention like magnets.

"Bai Wushuang! Level 32, Beast Tamer!"

"Luo Hao! Level 33, Berserker!"

"Xu Niannian, Level 32, Chaos Mage!"

"Fang Tairan, Level 32, Swordsman!"

"Su Rou, Level 31, Priest!"

"Luo Tao, Level 30, Archer!"

"......"

"Wow! Their levels are so high! They can already do their second class advancement! I'm only at level 26!"

"That's normal! They come from extraordinary backgrounds, with many resources from their families. They were already above level 27 when they came to school!"

"And in the past few days, they've reportedly cleared several secret realms quickly, gaining a lot of experience. So it's reasonable for them to be at these levels!"

"Why haven't they done their second class advancement yet?"

"Clearing the second class advancement trial dungeons takes a lot of time! With the freshman grand exam starting early, they don't have time to do it now!"

"True..."

"But honestly, the gap between these prodigies and us ordinary students is gradually widening!"

"We are only ordinary in a relative sense! Don't belittle ourselves! Compared to freshmen from other regular academies, they can't even touch our heels!"

"That's true..."

"......"

While everyone was discussing, they suddenly fell silent.

Because...

At the entrance of the arena, a tall figure appeared.
