The next day, Lu Hongfei and Liu Ruyan prepared to leave with Dong Hanyang.

Chu Chen and his friends had all entered the Genius Training Camp, and he also had a job, so staying here any longer seemed inappropriate.

Chu Chen and his friends entrusted the special products they bought for their families to Lu Hongfei to take back for them.

On the day Chu Chen became an apprentice, he called his family to inform them about his championship victory, apprenticeship, and early admission.

The two were of course extremely excited and proud.

Besides asking Lu Hongfei to bring back some special products, Chu Chen also placed a bank card with ten billion Alliance Coins and his unused Thousand-Year Stalactite Liquid in the Spatial Ring.

His parents were already in their forties, and the first half of their lives could only be described as arduous.

Father Chu had always wanted to become a powerful person, but his talent and resources were extremely limited, so over time, he had to bow to reality.

Now Chu Chen could provide sufficient cultivation resources for his father, and the remaining Thousand-Year Stalactite Liquid was enough to improve his cultivation talent.

Although it was not enough for him to become a King Level powerhouse like Dong Hanyang, there was hope for him to become a Soul Master Level powerhouse.

Mrs. Chu was now realizing her self-worth; the botanical garden was beginning to take shape with the assistance of the Ji Family, Daoist School, and City Lord's Mansion.

However, Chu Chen didn't want his mother to work too hard. With such a large sum of money, she could enjoy life a bit more.

After seeing Lu Hongfei and others off, Ji Mingyue was also taken away by the people from Vermilion Bird Daoist School. After all, the Celestial Sparrow Training Camp would be starting in a few days, and they needed to return to Vermilion Bird City early.

Chu Chen and his friends didn't spend their time in the city but instead went to Cyan Dragon Daoist School to make the most of their time cultivating.

Especially Wang Lu, although he was always laughing and joking, he was well aware that his entry into the Hidden Dragon Training Camp depended on Chu Chen; with his current strength, he was at the bottom of the Hidden Dragon Training Camp. He didn't want to remain at the rear, so he practiced even harder.

In the blink of an eye, five days had passed.

Chu Chen and Wang Lu arrived at Cyan Dragon Daoist School early in the morning.

The two glanced at the time and headed straight to Zhao Qianshan's office.

When the two entered the office, they found Zhao Qianshan sitting at his desk, with a dozen talented students from the Daoist School standing in front of him.

When Zhao Qianshan saw that it was Chu Chen, he immediately stood up and greeted them, "Come in and have a seat. There's still some time before we leave, so you can wait here for a while."

Chu Chen smiled and nodded, "Please carry on with your work, don't mind me." With that, he sat opposite Zhao Qianshan.

Zhao Qianshan smiled and nodded at this, continuing to organize his materials.

The talented individuals in the room looked at the seated Chu Chen and Wang Lu with surprise.

When they had just arrived, there was no such treatment.

When Zhao Qianshan saw them, he had merely asked them to wait aside with a stern face.

But considering the current status of their counterparts, such treatment seemed appropriate.

What they envied most, however, was Wang Lu. Though he was only an A-level talent and perhaps not as strong as them, his treatment was vastly different, indicating that sometimes choice outweighs effort.

After a while, another person enjoying similar treatment walked in.

Zhao Qianshan stood up once again and said, "Yunxiao is here, you can chat with Chu Chen for a while, and we'll leave when the time is right."

It was Long Yunxiao.

He nodded and sat down next to Chu Chen.

"You arrived quite early." Long Yunxiao said naturally.

Chu Chen smiled and replied, "This isn't early; those who came later were early. By the way, how many of us are participating in the Celestial Dragon Training Camp this time?"

Long Batian contemplated briefly before smiling and saying, "Counting you and me, there are seven of us in total."

"Just seven? Is that not a bit of a waste of resources?" Chu Chen asked, somewhat surprised.

Long Yunxiao burst into laughter at this.

Seeing this, Chu Chen asked, puzzled, "Is that question amusing?"

Long Yunxiao quickly waved his hand, "No, it seems Brother Chu has devoted all his thoughts to cultivation. Such dedication is something we should learn from."

Chu Chen scratched his head and said, "You've made me embarrassed, Brother Long."

"Not at all, diligent cultivation is a good thing, but you might not know that the Celestial Dragon Training Camp isn't just the few of us here."

"Oh? I must be ignorant then; please enlighten me, Brother Long."

Long Yunxiao waved his hand, "No need to be so formal. Besides the seven of us in the Celestial Dragon Training Camp, there are fifteen more individuals who are previous talents."

It was only then that Chu Chen had a sudden realization, but there was one thing he still didn't understand—why these fifteen individuals remained in the Celestial Dragon Training Camp.

Chu Chen did not hesitate to voice his internal doubts.

Long Yunxiao leaned in and said softly, "Rumor has it that one cannot leave the Celestial Dragon Training Camp without breaking through to the Soul Master Level."

Chu Chen was visibly startled at this; the requirement was quite high.

After chatting for a while, Chu Chen learned that once classes start at Cyan Dragon Academy, these talents would return to school and only come back during winter and summer vacations until they break through to the Soul Master Level and leave the training camp.

This meant that for the upcoming six months, there would only be the seven of them in the Celestial Dragon Training Camp.

However, Long Yunxiao dismissed this notion, explaining that the Hidden Dragon Training Camp was temporarily established without its dedicated training facility, so they would temporarily train alongside Chu Chen and the others.

Learning about this, Wang Lu was extremely excited; with Chu Chen around, he could avoid quite a few hassles.
