Cultivation Simulator: Shocking the Academy

Luo Chen responded respectfully, "Yes, I will remember. Thank you, sir, for your great kindness today." His heart was filled with gratitude; he felt honored by Li Qing's recognition and assistance.

Li Qing waved his hand, with a broad smile, placed his hands behind his back, and slowly walked out of the crowd. His silhouette looked particularly tall and majestic in the glow of the sunset.

Watching Li Qing's distant figure, Carefree Meng Lan couldn't help but become curious about Luo Chen's identity. Why did this young boy from the Jama Empire earn such admiration from Master Li Qing? Is there truly a mysterious power lurking behind him?

Carefree Meng Lan recalled the scene she saw from a corner that night, and she couldn't help but glance at Thunderstorm. This cold and mysterious man seemed to share some special connection with Luo Chen. Her curiosity grew even stronger, and she was filled with a desire to understand Luo Chen's identity and background.

"Let's go." Thunderstorm said calmly, his voice conveying an undeniable determination.

Luo Chen was about to respond when he heard Carefree Meng Lan's urgent voice, "Wait a minute!"

Luo Chen and Thunderstorm both turned their heads to see Carefree Meng Lan running over with a look of anxiety. Her face was slightly flushed, evidently from running too fast.

"What is it?" Luo Chen asked in confusion.

Carefree Meng Lan took a deep breath to calm her excited feelings, then said, "Luo Chen, I... I want to ask you to come with me." Her voice carried a slight tremble, as if she feared being rejected.

Luo Chen and Thunderstorm exchanged a glance, both seeing confusion in each other's eyes. Why would Carefree Meng Lan suddenly make such a request?

"Why?" Thunderstorm asked coldly, his voice tinged with vigilance.

Carefree Meng Lan bit her lip, hesitating about how to answer. Finally, as if making up her mind, she said, "Because... because I believe you are not ordinary people. I want to join you, to see a broader world." Her eyes sparkled with a firm light, as if she was ready to face any difficulties.

Luo Chen and Thunderstorm exchanged another glance, this time with a hint of understanding. It turned out Carefree Meng Lan was influenced by them, wanting to embark on an unknown journey together.

"Alright," Luo Chen smiled and nodded, "If you are willing, then come with me." His heart was filled with anticipation and adventurous passion; perhaps this decision would change their fates, but he was willing to try for this adventure.

Carefree Meng Lan's face lit up with a radiant smile, knowing she made the right choice. Thunderstorm also nodded silently, agreeing with Luo Chen's decision. Thus, the fates of the three were closely intertwined, embarking on an unknown journey together.

"What is it?" Luo Chen looked puzzled at Thunderstorm, then turned to Carefree Meng Lan.

Carefree Meng Lan smiled, but there was a hint of urgency in her eyes, "Brother Luo Chen, I have something to discuss with you. Can we find a place to talk?"

Luo Chen was about to answer when Thunderstorm interrupted, "No need, we have other matters." His tone was firm, clearly not wanting to be disturbed by anything.

However, Carefree Meng Lan refused to give up, biting her lip as if making a resolute decision, "Don't you want the Heavenly Dragon Manual?"

This statement was like a bombshell, leaving Thunderstorm and Luo Chen stunned. "What?" Thunderstorm quickly turned back, his eyes wide in disbelief as he looked at Carefree Meng Lan. Realizing his reaction was too strong, he quickly adjusted his emotions, putting on a serious expression, "You have the Heavenly Dragon Manual?"

Carefree Meng Lan nodded, a hint of pride flashing in her eyes, "Yes, if you want the Heavenly Dragon Manual, come with me to the Golden Soul Coin Shili Inn."

Luo Chen and Thunderstorm exchanged a glance, their hearts filled with an indescribable excitement. The Heavenly Dragon Manual was, after all, a legendary martial art; how could they not be tempted? Thus, they followed Carefree Meng Lan towards the Golden Soul Coin Shili Inn.

The luxury of the Golden Soul Coin Shili Inn was beyond Luo Chen's imagination. The room was resplendent, with various luxurious decorations and facilities dazzling the eyes. However, at this moment, Luo Chen was not interested in appreciating them; his gaze was fixated on the broken mysterious fire map in Carefree Meng Lan's hand.
