Chapter 28 — "WELCOME TO HEAVEN?!"
The moment the Top 10 stepped through the golden gates of the Azure Dragon Academy Residential Wing, every single one of them froze.
Because the dormitory was not a dormitory.
It was a palace.
Floating jade bridges.Spirit waterfalls.Training fields made of hovering stones.Meditation rooms woven from qi threads.Bedrooms larger than noble mansions.
Wang Junxie dropped his luggage immediately.
"WHAT— WHAT— WHAT— IS THIS PLACE?!"
Zhao Lanyue gasped."This is not a dorm! This is a CELESTIAL KING’S PALACE!"
Han Duwei fainted and revived himself with lightning."MY BED IS MADE OF A 100,000-YEAR SNOW TIGER FUR!!"
Mu Qingxun wiped tears from his eyes."My earth tyrant ancestors never lived this well..."
Jin Roulan stroked her sword."I can cultivate for years here..."
Meanwhile—
Chen Wulian had climbed into his bed and spread out like a starfish.
"BROOOO!! THIS BED IS BIGGER THAN MY WHOLE HOUSE!"
(Well, obviously that was a lie)
Ling Yifan inspected the architecture calmly.
"High-level formations... spirit circulation optimized... impressive."
Bai Qianlan touched the wall — the wall rippled with illusions.
"This building itself is a treasure."
Ouyang Xue’er spun in circles.
"Long Hao!! This place is so pretty—!!"
Long Hao nodded casually.
"It’s comfortable."
"COMFORTABLE?!"Xue’er almost threw a pillow at him."This is PARADISE."
As soon as they stepped deeper inside, a group of seniors spotted them.
The seniors’ eyes widened at the divine-level beauty and monstrous aura of the freshmen.
Senior #1:"...why are the freshmen glowing?"
Senior #2:"That boy— is that LONG HAO?! The one who punched a Mystic?!"
Senior #3 stared at Xue’er."A Divine Rank... bunny girl...? Is that even allowed?"
Ouyang Xue’er:"Say that again and I’ll freeze your mouth."
Senior #3:"Understood."
Then a cocky senior walked up.
"Well, well... you’re the new Top 10? Cute. Listen here, you—"
Long Hao turned slightly.
Just slightly.
The senior felt a demon wolf staring at his soul.
He instantly bowed.
"I-am-sorry-please-have-a-nice-day."
Long Hao blinked."...Okay?"
The senior ran away screaming.
Suddenly—
BOOOOMFour groups approached.
⚔ Azure Dragon Martial Hall
Muscle-bound seniors surrounded Chen Wulian.
"JOIN US!! PUNCH THINGS WITH US!!"
Chen Wulian screamed back."YES!! I LOVE PUNCHING THINGS!!"
🎭 Spirit Arts Pavilion
Illusionists circled Bai Qianlan.
"Goddess Qianlan... please join our faction. We will build a temple for you."
Bai Qianlan:"...I refuse temples."
❄ Divine Frost Courtyard
A dozen ice princesses ran to Ouyang Xue’er.
"PRINCESS XUE’ER!! You must join us!"
They shoved pamphlets in her hands.
"You will have your own palace— your own garden— your own ice lake— your own—"
Xue’er cut them off.
"STOP. I’m not choosing a faction without asking Long Hao."
Everyone froze.
Long Hao blinked."...Why me?"
"NO REASON!"
🧠 Inner Research Institute
Tall, exhausted-looking nerds approached Ling Yifan.
"Please... we need your spear for experiments."
Ling Yifan:"No."
"Please— we’ll pay—"
"No."
"We’ll build a Ling Yifan statue—"
"Absolutely not."
🐢 Wild Turtle Club (Comedic Faction)
A group of slow-moving cultivators dragged themselves toward Long Hao.
"Hey... bro... you look calm... want to join our club...?"
"...No."
"Okay. We’ll... come back... tomorrow..."
"Don’t."
A group of senior girls approached Long Hao.
"Is that Long Hao?""He’s so calm...""His eyes... so dangerous...""He’s so handsome..."
Then one girl fainted dramatically.
"Quick! Someone catch me—"
Long Hao:"No."
She hit the floor.
Ouyang Xue’er grabbed his collar.
"LONG HAO!! CATCH THE GIRL!!"
"Why."
"BECAUSE YOU MUST!"
Bai Qianlan added,"She fainted for attention."
"See," Long Hao said.
Xue’er blushed and stepped closer.
"Well... if you won’t catch other girls... that’s fine too."
Bai Qianlan stared intensely."I will test that."
Long Hao sighed.
"Why."
