Enslaving and killing the Black Dragon Emperor, Austin.
Many people harbored such ambition, but only a handful possessed the strength to achieve it.
Councilman Su Lu was one of them; he had long known of the Black Dragon Emperor's secret hideout on Tyrant Mountain and had been meticulously planning everything to enslave a powerful true dragon.
When he heard that the Black Dragon Emperor had vanished from Tyrant Mountain, an enraged roar echoed through the Asia Magic Association headquarters.
Councilman Su Lu was absolutely furious.
He had planned for so long; now that the Black Dragon had disappeared, how was he supposed to find it again?
If the Black Dragon wished to hide, Councilman Su Lu might never find it again, even until his death.
The upheaval caused by the Black Dragon Emperor sparked heated discussions worldwide.
However, Jiang Yuan had no mind to pay attention to any of that.
Before the portal opened, he intended to fulfill an unkept promise.
He used his Space innate talent to return to Mingzhu Academy's single student apartment.
He took out his communicator.
Turned it on.
"Beep, beep, beep, beep, beep, beep!"
"Ding, ding, ding, ding, ding!"
"Cough, cough, cough, cough!"
A barrage of message notifications rang out.
Jiang Yuan glanced at the senders on his phone and called each of them back.
It took him a while to reply to most of them.
While he was still replying, Mo Fan's call came in.
"Damn it, Old Jiang, your phone is finally on! Did you fall into a brothel or something?" Mo Fan cursed.
"I've been in seclusion recently and had another breakthrough. Sigh, the progress is a bit too fast," Jiang Yuan sighed.
"?"
Mo Fan on the other end of the line was shocked.
"Don't tell me you're already Super-Level in two elements."
"Only two elements? Who are you looking down on? Guess again!"
.
Seeing the silence on the other end of the phone, Jiang Yuan curved his lips: "To tell you the truth, I'm already Super-Level in three elements. When will you reach Super-Level?"
"You motherf*cker!!!"
"You definitely sold your soul to the Ancient King! No, you definitely sold your ass to the Ancient King, otherwise how could you advance so fast!!!" Mo Fan yelled.
He was about to die from anger.
They were both High-level Mages before, how did it become different now!
"You're barking again. This is my talent, what do you know?"
Jiang Yuan ignored Mo Fan's frantic shouts, hung up the phone, and left Mo Fan some time to digest the news.
If Mo Fan knew he also had dual innate talents, and was already Super-Level in five elements, he would probably be so angry that he would spiral into the sky and explode on the spot.
Jiang Yuan smiled, looking at who else hadn't replied on his communicator.
He immediately saw Mu Ningjiao's number.
He called her back.
"Jiang Yuan!" As soon as the call connected, Mu Ningjiao's voice came through immediately.
"You disappeared after the competition, what did you go do, why was your phone even turned off? I asked the National Government Mentor, and they all said you were in seclusion breaking through."
Mu Ningjiao's tone slowly softened, and Jiang Yuan replied: "I was indeed in seclusion. Let's not talk about that for now, I plan to go to your house, is there a welcome banquet?"
Jiang Yuan's sudden mention of this made Mu Ningjiao a little flustered. She thought for a moment and said: "If you come over, my family will definitely prepare a banquet for you. At that time, we will also invite people from all walks of life to introduce them to you."
"You don't need to make such a big fuss, I don't like too many people," Jiang Yuan replied.
"Alright then, I'll tell my family. So, are you coming over now?"
"Can I come now?"
"Yes, you can."
"Okay, I'm coming over now."
"Mm."
After hanging up the phone, Jiang Yuan immediately headed to the Mu Family.
The Mu Family was in the Demon City, he didn't use magic, but chose to take a car there.
It didn't take long for him to arrive at the Mu Family.
As one of the great aristocratic families in the Demon City, the Mu Family naturally also had a manor.
A group of Mu Family members had been waiting early at the manor entrance.
As soon as Jiang Yuan got out of the car, they immediately came forward to greet him. Mu Ningjiao introduced: "This is my father."
Mu Ningjiao's father was naturally the Mu Family Head. Her grandfather, Mu Zhanxing, had already given the position of family head to her father.
The Mu Family Head extended his hand and laughed heartily: "Captain Jiang, thank you for helping Mu Ningjiao in the National College Team. A National Government champion, we never even dared to imagine it before!"
Jiang Yuan shook hands with him and exchanged a few words.
His gaze then fell on a beautiful woman next to them, with delicate features and looks comparable to Mu Ningjiao.
Mu Ningjiao introduced: "This is my younger sister, Mu Nuxin."
"Hello, my name is Mu Nuxin!" Mu Nuxin introduced herself again. Her gaze towards Jiang Yuan was somewhat fervent, but it wasn't a possessive kind of fervor.
Mu Nuxin was someone who valued family interests greatly. Although she had no magical talent and couldn't become a Mage, under the family's cultivation, she possessed strong family governance abilities.
Over the years, she had recruited many talents for the Mu Family.
Now, seeing the recognized number one young genius in the world, Mu Nuxin's thoughts were easy to imagine.
Immediately after, Mu Ningjiao introduced Mu Shan, Mu Hua, Mu Yuan, and other important Mu Family members to Jiang Yuan.
Their attitude towards Jiang Yuan was extraordinarily enthusiastic, treating him completely as the most distinguished guest.
Moving into the manor.
A banquet prepared for Jiang Yuan was only waiting for the guest of honor to take his seat.
Jiang Yuan sat in the sole guest of honor seat, with Mu Ningjiao on his left and the Mu Family Head on his right.
There wasn't too much formality. After the Mu Family Head said a few simple words, the banquet began.
Drinking alcohol is an indispensable part of a Chinese banquet, and as a guest, everyone had to come up and toast.
However, for Jiang Yuan, the alcohol would be completely broken down as soon as it entered his stomach, so he wouldn't feel any drunkenness.
After a few rounds of drinks, everyone started chatting.
"Little Jiang, I heard from Mu Ningjiao that you don't have a girlfriend yet, do you plan to find one?" the Mu Family Head suddenly brought up emotional matters.
Although everyone present was still chatting, their gazes intentionally or unintentionally fell on Jiang Yuan, only Mu Ningjiao's head was constantly lowered, burying herself in her food without saying a word.
"Finding a girlfriend depends on fate," Jiang Yuan replied.
"Fate is indeed very important." The Mu Family Head nodded in agreement, then tentatively asked: "What do you think of Mu Ningjiao?"
The old fox finally showed his tail!
Jiang Yuan had already guessed what might happen when he came to the Mu Family this time, so he wasn't flustered at all.
He felt very good about Mu Ningjiao, otherwise he wouldn't have come to the Mu Family.
"She's very good," Jiang Yuan said with a smile.
"Then, since you are classmates from the same academy and both members of the National College Team, isn't that a great destiny?" The Mu Family Head struck while the iron was hot.
"It is indeed a great destiny," Jiang Yuan nodded heavily.
"Since it's such a great destiny, then would you consider dating my Mu Ningjiao?" the Mu Family Head asked.
Jiang Yuan didn't answer immediately, but looked at the bowed head of Mu Ningjiao, whose ears were already tinged with a charming blush.
