Qian Renxue pushed Lin Chen away with force, saying shyly, "Dream on! Don't even think about it!"
Seeing her so resolute, Lin Chen chuckled foolishly and could only give up helplessly. The two walked slowly along the beach, a gentle breeze blowing, and the fresh scent of the sea permeated the air, making them feel exceptionally comfortable.
Three days passed in a flash, and Qian Renxue gradually grew fond of this city. For three days, the two traversed Feiniao City, dreaming of a beautiful future.
The person Lin Chen was waiting for finally arrived on the third day. She was a young woman of inner beauty and outer grace, named Jiang Xin. She was in her twenties, stood at 1.78 meters, and was somewhat slender. Yet, her delicate features were well-defined, and with her ear-length short hair, her tall and lean figure gave her a valiant and spirited aura.
After a brief conversation, Lin Chen gained some understanding of her.
Jiang Xin's family belonged to a branch of the Jiang family. As her talent was ordinary, she began to study business, unexpectedly discovering an astonishing talent for it.
However, a girl was ultimately destined to marry, so she was not given important positions within the family and could not realize her own value.
Lin Chen was very satisfied with Jiang Xin's situation. Likewise, after Lin Chen explained his own circumstances, the two hit it off immediately.
In the time that followed, the three made a relatively complete plan for the future. After interacting, Lin Chen became even more satisfied with Jiang Xin.
Although Jiang Xin was not highly regarded by her family, her own abilities were outstanding, and she had the immense Jiang family backing her, giving her clear access to various channels and connections. It could be said that she was a perfect partner for cooperation.
At the same time, Lin Chen had her complete Qian Renxue's personal information, believing in the principle of 'use it or lose it.'
Lin Chen had originally wanted to ask Jiang Tianyuan for help but hadn't known how to bring it up.
Jiang Xin took only one day to sort out all of Qian Renxue's personal information. From then on, Qian Renxue was no longer an unregistered person and could live openly and legitimately in this World.
This made Qian Renxue incredibly excited, and she generously rewarded Lin Chen that night.
Thus, Lin Chen and Jiang Xin established a company. Lin Chen invested three billion, giving Jiang Xin five percent of the shares.
The five percent shares were currently worth 150 million. For Jiang Xin to gain such profit without having done anything, it seemed like Lin Chen suffered a great loss, but it filled Jiang Xin with motivation.
Lin Chen firmly believed in one principle: win-win. No matter how good a relationship was, it could potentially sour in the face of profit.
Only a win-win situation was the path to long-term stability.
After completing all of this, Lin Chen became a hands-off boss and returned to Bo City.
...
The day after returning to Bo City, Lin Chen's Summoning系 broke through to the Intermediate Level Two, and the Ice Emperor was thus born.
Lin Chen's Summoning系 was quite mysterious. All the Spirit Beast summoned seemed to enter an initial state, losing not only their strength but also their memories. However, Qian Renxue, on the other hand, retained her memories from her previous life.
Two of the three giants of the Extreme North Land were now gathered. Although the Ice Emperor and Snow Emperor had no memories, it did not affect their current affection for each other.
Watching the two Spirit Beast' intimate behavior, Lin Chen even specifically confirmed their true forms. After learning the result, Lin Chen was even more speechless.
It also made Lin Chen thoroughly understand a principle: the World is vast, and there are all sorts of wonders.
Fortunately, the Ice Emperor was very friendly to Lin Chen, mimicking the Snow Emperor's intimacy with him!
Lin Chen really wanted to say, "Give me a stack of such 'immortal' Summoning系!"
With the birth of the Ice Emperor, Lin Chen's Ice element magic evolved once again. The Extreme Ice became even purer. Before this, the temperature of Lin Chen's ice magic was only around minus two hundred degrees Celsius; now, it reached at least minus three hundred degrees Celsius.
...
Time flew by, and the vacation ended in a blink of an eye.
The new semester began, and the results for the elite class and regular classes were out. Lin Chen's scores were neither high nor low. All students in the elite class took five to ten seconds to cast a spell. With his powerful mental force, Lin Chen's precise spell casting time reached seven seconds, placing him steadily in the middle.
And Lin Chen's Dimensional Beast also revealed its true face: a small dark green grass about thirty centimeters tall.
This made Lin Chen a target for some people's private ridicule.
But none of this fazed Lin Chen. He really wanted to say, "Let him be strong, I'm good at the way of the dog!"
According to Lin Chen's tests, the battle power of a Ten-Thousand-Year Spirit Beast had already reached the Commander-level demon-level. Yin'er's devouring ability could make ordinary demons feel both ecstatic and tormented!
When they eventually saw how strong a Fifty-Thousand-Year Spirit Beast was, they would surely feel like clowns.
Of course, there was an exception: the first time Tang Yue saw Yin'er, a hint of fear surfaced in her phoenix eyes.
Tang Yue could only respond to Lin Chen's 'doggedness' with an eye-roll.
What Lin Chen didn't know was that his talent and temperament had long been recognized by Tang Yue.
Time passed quickly, and several months went by unknowingly. The days of practical training arrived.
On the day of departure, a total of one hundred students were divided into five groups.
They would be accompanied by teachers, and two instructors would lead the teams.
Each group had its own large bus, and five large buses carried a group of young Mages towards the outskirts of the city.
The destination of this trip was a guard post in Bo City—the Xuefeng Mountain Post Station.
After getting on the bus, everyone was unusually excited, chattering non-stop like elementary school students on a spring outing.
Lin Chen closed his eyes to rest, but was actually meditating.
Lin Chen's presence was already low, and no one would have thought that someone could meditate in such a noisy environment.
The bus drove unhurriedly, passing through a large stretch of wasteland outside the city, and soon, one mountain forest after another appeared in everyone's vision.
Unlike the initial excitement, the bus was surprisingly quiet for the latter half of the journey.
After an unknown amount of time, the Xuefeng Mountain Post Station finally arrived amidst continuous bumps.
The Xuefeng Mountain Post Station, rather than a post station, was an extremely rudimentary village.
Both sides of the post station leaned against incredibly steep cliffs, reaching a hundred meters high, requiring one to fully tilt their head back to see the sky.
The cliffs on both sides formed a natural barrier, and coupled with the fact that the front and back of this mountain valley road were locked by two huge stone gates, the entire post station was essentially a fortress-like small town nestled within the valley.
Upon entering the post station, they saw a Wei Fashi (Law Enforcer) not wearing a uniform, leisurely playing with a cluster of flames in his palm. The small flame was like an obedient pet, constantly darting agilely between his fingertips, occasionally even flying around his body, appearing very marvelous.
Lin Chen smiled slightly; the other party's identity was already self-evident.
Within the large post station, there was also a large market, with various magic tools and materials displayed.
