Epic Transformation: The Dragon Master Who Defies the Divine

Chapter 67: Opening Ceremony

At seven o'clock the next morning, Qin Fan got up on time. Upon waking, he felt two heavy objects pressing on his chest. Looking up, he was unsurprised to see the two round little dragon cubs lying on his chest.

After getting up and washing, the two little creatures, who also enjoyed cleanliness, had Qin Fan fill the large bathtub with bathwater and scented lotion for them. The two dragon cubs then splashed around, cleaning themselves.

Soon, it was time to attend the opening ceremony of Feng Tian Academy and for the freshmen to be assigned to their classes. Feng Tian Academy had four schools:

1. Tactical Academy: Specializing in training strategic command personnel. It did not require high combat power but demanded excellent theoretical knowledge and overall vision.

2. Combat Academy: Admitted students from all combat professions.

3. Magic Academy: Only accepted students from magic professions.

4. Enhancement Academy: Enrolled students with exceptional talent in auxiliary professions.

Although combat professions dominated this world, auxiliary professions were indispensable. The potions, tools, and equipment needed for combat professions to clear dungeons were all produced by auxiliary professions.

Auxiliary professions were graded from low to high as follows: D, C, B, A, S, Master, Grandmaster, and Divine. Achieving a B level in an auxiliary profession meant one could thrive in any city. S-level, Master, and Grandmaster-level practitioners would be welcomed by nobles even abroad. Divine-level auxiliary professionals were considered national strategic assets and were highly valued.

Thus, auxiliary professions were far from dead ends. As long as one had talent, they could succeed.

Walking around the campus, Qin Fan saw many new, young faces. Their expressions varied. Through careful observation, Qin Fan could distinguish different personalities:

- New students cautiously observing their surroundings were likely just meeting the admission criteria. Knowing they were outmatched by the specially admitted students, they tried to stay out of trouble.

- Those walking with confident, aloof demeanors were undoubtedly special admits, at least among the top 100 in their province, and were highly regarded prodigies in their local high schools.

Today's opening ceremony was only for freshmen. Sophomores and juniors were busy with their own affairs. When Qin Fan stepped into the Holy Spirit Auditorium, he found over a thousand people already seated. Qin Fan planned to find a random seat, but unexpectedly, a clear, melodious voice called out from the front row.

"Qin Fan, over here!"

Qin Fan looked up to see Su Rou. Next to her were two girls and a boy. The girls and the boy looked at Qin Fan in surprise as Su Rou greeted him. Because Su Rou had called out "Qin Fan," thousands of eyes instantly turned to look at him.

"Wow, is that the Dragon Master who topped the Nanzhou Province exam?"

"He doesn't look like much, just good-looking..."

"Don't underestimate him. To top the exam as a Dragon Master, he must have something extraordinary!"

"Extraordinary my foot! You can't be suggesting Qin Fan contracted a giant dragon?"

"That's impossible! I think he either broke the Dragon Master's limitations and contracted a wyvern or sub-dragon, or he triggered some unique characteristic of the Dragon Master profession, making him so powerful!"

"Your guess makes some sense. But if you think he contracted a giant dragon, you're delusional."

"I'm not stupid! A giant dragon is equivalent to a fourth-turn human! How could a guy at our level contract a giant dragon?"

Various discussions erupted. Qin Fan remained unfazed, nodded at Su Rou, and found a random seat. Su Rou wanted to say more but was held back by the two girls, who began chatting with her. The boy turned to look deeply at Qin Fan, then folded his arms and closed his eyes to rest.

The Holy Spirit Auditorium was vast, and there were many seats. Qin Fan chose a secluded spot, but eyes still lingered on him.

Buzz!

Suddenly, a towering figure stepped out from the spatial void onto the main stage of the auditorium. The hall, previously noisy, fell silent immediately. This figure was a level 90 fourth-turn Spatial Mage!

Liu Boming, 52 years old, the dean of the Magic Academy and vice-principal of Feng Tian Academy, a level 90 fourth-turn Spatial Mage! His face, showing no signs of aging, bore a warm smile, and his rich voice spread through the speaker system.

"First, thank you all for choosing to study at Feng Tian Academy. On behalf of the school, I extend a warm welcome!"

"Let me introduce myself. My name is Liu Boming. You should be familiar with me. I am the dean of the Magic Academy and the host of this opening ceremony!"

The freshmen applauded appreciatively. It was no joke. This was a legendary fourth-turn powerhouse and a Spatial Mage, an idol for many in the mage professions!

Liu Boming gestured for silence and continued, "I know you young people don't like lengthy speeches, so I'll keep this short. You've already learned about the school's rules and regulations from the handbook."

"Now, I have two things to say!"

"First, the default ranking of new students!"

"Second, the freshman exam in a month!"

However, before Liu Boming finished speaking, there were three knocks on the door. Everyone turned to see a burly boy standing at the entrance, at least 1.9 meters tall. Beside him were a boy and a girl, looking disheveled and dusty as if they had just fought.

"Reporting in!" The burly boy greeted lazily, seemingly indifferent to the vice-principal. The previously quiet freshmen erupted again!

"Wow! Bai Wushuang!"

"And the sword fanatic Fang Tairan, and the magic prodigy girl Xu Niannian!"

"Why are they here together, and why do they look so beaten up?"
