Chapter 278 - 278 Three Rewards! Netherworld Soul Flame! (1)
278 Three Rewards! Netherworld Soul Flame! (1)
No one expected a divine dragon to appear.
Dragons were already legendary creatures to them. As for divine dragons, they had only heard of them.
It was not that shocking that a divine dragon was at the headquarters of the Imperial Capital Military Region, but it was already shocking enough for the divine dragon to pick them up.
Soon, the dragons and the divine dragon landed on the field and looked directly at these huge creatures. Everyone around was very excited.
!!
For a lot of people, riding a dragon might only happen once in a lifetime.
Xiong Hongyi said, “The teachers and students of the Golden Corner Academy will ride the divine dragon. The teachers and students of the other universities will ride the dragon and head to the headquarters of the Imperial Capital Military Region together.
Instantly, envious gazes swept over from all directions and landed on Lu Yan and the others.
Indeed, the divine dragon was prepared for the teachers and students of the Golden Corner Academy.
Was this the treatment of the champion of the national new student exchange competition?
However, previously, the champion of the national new student exchange competition did not receive such treatment.
Everyone’s gazes shifted to Lu Yan. The treatment this year was probably all because of Lu Yan.
Everyone arrived on the dragons’ backs. The divine dragon and the huge dragons soared into the sky and quickly headed towards the clouds.
Soon, everyone arrived at a mountain area northeast of the Imperial Capital.
This mountain area had no name. A huge energy defense barrier directly enveloped the entire mountain area. Anything that approached would be destroyed by this huge energy defense barrier if it forcefully rushed over without permission.
Buzz!
A light shot out from Xiong Hongyi’s hand, and an opening appeared in the energy defense barrier in front of him. The divine dragon and dragons entered through the opening.
“This is the headquarters of the Imperial Capital Military Region? It’s completely different from what I imagined.”
“Damn, I thought we were really in the mountain area. I didn’t expect this place to be like this. I’ve really broadened my horizons.”
“Look, that’s the flag of the ten great armies. I’m going to join one of the ten great armies after graduation.”
After entering the energy defense barrier, the scene inside completely exceeded Lu Yan and the others’ expectations.
The interior looked nothing like a mountain area, but a mechanized place. There were various mechanical floating islands, mechanical cannons, mage towers, and talisman towers. It was filled with a sense of future technology.
The divine dragon and the few dragons moved in midair and quickly headed towards a mechanical base in the center in front of him.
From afar, the mechanical base was not too big. However, when they got closer, Lu Yan and the others discovered that the mechanical building was like a sleeping steel beast, giving off a dense pressure.
“The headquarters of the Imperial Capital Military Region is just ahead. It’s also the headquarters of our Dragon Country’s Professional Alliance.”
Xiong Hongyi pointed at the mechanical base in front of him and said.
The divine dragon and the huge dragons slowly landed. Everyone got off in shock.
“Are those fire dragons? There are actually more than a hundred of them standing on this flying square like fighter jets. I’m afraid only the military headquarters can treat dragons as mounts, right?”
“The combat aircraft over there should be the latest model. I heard that they were forged by the number one construction master of the Dragon Country and they use energy crystals to provide energy. I heard that their combat strength is equivalent to a level 40 epic level demon beast.”
“I didn’t expect the headquarters of the Dragon Country’s Professional Alliance and the headquarters of the military region to be in the same place. I thought the two were separated.”
“This is very normal. After all, the Professionist Alliance is also under the jurisdiction of the military region.”
As long as one became a professional in the Dragon Country, they would be under the jurisdiction of the Professionist Alliance. However, the Professionist Alliance only did statistics and did not have any restrictions. Their presence was usually not high.
“Let’s go. I’ll bring you to receive the rewards of this national new student exchange competition.”
Xiong Hongyi brought Lu Yan and the others into the hall in front of him.
The hall was very spacious. Basically, people in military uniforms walked around. The staff at the front desk was also dealing with various things.
The people passing by only glanced at Lu Yan and the others before continuing to do their own things.
In front of the hall, a burly man was welcoming Lu Yan and the others with a few people.
“Tie Zhu, these are the participating new students of the top ten universities in the national new student exchange competition this year. They also obtained customized equipment rewards.” Xiong Hongyi looked at the burly man in front of him and smiled.
The burly man was covered in muscles and his head was bare, but his face was covered in red beard.
There was a violent aura on his body that gave off a pressure.
Tie Zhu smiled when he heard this. He looked at Lu Yan and the others and said, “Welcome. Those who can come here are all the top new students of our Dragon Country. Next, your rewards will be received in the base.
“The customized equipment will be forged by me, Tie Zhu, and my team. At that time, just tell us your requirements.”
As he spoke, Tie Zhu brought everyone to an electronic door in front of them.
“Tie Zhu? He’s the number one forging master in our Dragon Country, right? I heard that he’s a warrior who uses fire who accidentally discovered his top-notch forging talent and directly became a forging master. In ten years, he became the number one forging master in our Dragon Country.
“I’ve also heard of him. He changed from a combat profession to a forging master and even became the number one in the country. He’s simply a legend.”
“He only added a side profession as a blacksmith master, but his combat profession hasn’t disappeared. I heard that he can even be ranked in the top twenty among the Dragon Country’s warriors.”
Many new students looked at the iron pillar and discussed. Then, they arrived in front of the electronic door in front of them.
This was a device to verify one’s identity. After verifying that one was a participating new student who was here to obtain the reward, professionals would lead them to receive the reward.
After Lu Yan passed the electronic door, Tie Zhu personally brought him to the place to receive the reward.
Because they needed to customize the equipment, every new student would be assigned a separate room so that it was easier for them to say the specific requirements of the customized equipment.
Lu Yan was brought by Tie Zhu to a room filled with technology. There was a big screen inside and an armrest-like thing beside it.
Tie Zhu looked at Lu Yan and said, “Put your hand on this armrest and you’ll be able to see the rewards you can obtain.”
Lu Yan nodded and placed his hand on the armrest.
Buzz!
The big screen in front of him instantly lit up, and a series of data appeared. Then, three reward items were listed.
1. An epic level customized equipment.
2. Special reward: Netherworld Soul Flame.
3. Choose a life-saving item.
Looking at the reward list on the screen in front of him, Lu Yan was slightly stunned. Then, a happy expression surged on his face.
When Tie Zhu saw this, his eyes also revealed surprise.
“Before coming, Xiong Hongyi had told me that there was an extraordinary new student from the Dragon Country. I didn’t expect the rewards to be so rich.”
Lu Yan looked at Tie Zhu and asked, “Master Tie Zhu, I can understand epic level customized equipment and registration items. But what’s the Netherworld Soul Flame?”
Tie Zhu looked at Lu Yan and said, “Among the three rewards, this Netherworld Soul Flame is the best reward. The Netherworld Soul Flame was obtained by a Dragon Country expert after entering the Void Gate 50 years ago.”
“If you can control the Netherworld Soul Flame, you will have the ability to ignite the enemy’s soul. That expert of the Dragon Country spent his life to bring this back.”
“Unfortunately, the Netherworld Soul Flame can only be controlled by professionals with supreme dark attribute power. I haven’t found a suitable candidate in 50 years. I didn’t expect you to actually be a suitable candidate.”
Tie Zhu’s eyes also revealed a trace of surprise. As a forging master, Tie Zhu had always wanted to use this Netherworld Soul Flame and even wanted to forge it into equipment, but he had always failed.
It would be fine if it were other attributes, but it was indeed too difficult to find a powerful dark-type power professional.
After all, there were very few dark-type power professionals. He did not expect to see one today.
Hearing Tie Zhu’s words, Lu Yan’s eyes also revealed joy.
Tie Zhu looked at Lu Yan in front of him and said, “I’ll bring you to receive the Netherworld Soul Flame and life-saving item later. Now, tell me what attributes you want for your epic level customized equipment.”
Lu Yan pondered when he heard this. Clearly, his epic level customized equipment was going to be forged by the iron pillar in front of him.
Lu Yan now had the Netherworld Soul Scythe. If he increased it by another level, he would be able to materialize it. He did not really need weapons.
As for armor defense, Lu Yan also had the Undead Netherworld Armor.
After thinking for a moment, Lu Yan told Tie Zhu in front of him about his situation and asked him to help him out. After all, Tie Zhu was the number one forging master in the Dragon Country.
Hearing Lu Yan’s words, Tie Zhu also raised his eyebrows slightly. “I originally thought that you wanted to forge a weapon. Don’t you need weapons and armor? In that case, I’ll forge an enhancement equipment for you.”
“Enhancement equipment?” Lu Yan was somewhat puzzled.
Tie Zhu nodded. “That’s right. It’s an equipment that can increase your attributes and strength. Don’t worry, I’ll make it myself. I won’t disappoint you.”
Hearing Tie Zhu’s words, Lu Yan also nodded. “In that case, I’ll thank you first, Master Tie Zhu.”
Tie Zhu waved his hand. “This is what I’m supposed to do. Alright, I’ll bring you to obtain the Netherworld Soul Flame first. The forging of the equipment takes a while. I’ll reward you with the other two first.”
Lu Yan nodded and left the room with Tie Zhu.
Soon, under the lead of Tie Zhu, Lu Yan stepped into a room similar to a storeroom.
The space inside was not very big. It looked like a single room. The decorations inside were also very simple. However, there was a glass cover on the stone pillar in the center.
On the surrounding ground, array patterns were engraved and spread towards the stone pillar, as if they were sealing the stone pillar and the glass cover on it.
Inside the glass cover, a completely pitch-black flame was swaying.
