Lin Yi's parents in the Shenxiao families' area connected with old friends Zhang Shan and Jiang Ya for a reunion. Lin Yi arrived dramatically in Jiangcheng via the stealthy Lingyue vessel, drawing salutes from enforcers before welcoming his classmates aboard. He playfully returned Jiang Ya's confession crystal, seated them with magic, and punched Zhang Shan, instantly granting 20,000 skill points. Thrilled, Zhang Shan dubbed him godfather and begged for more hits.

Receiving 20,000 skill points simply from a single punch by Lin Yi?

If that's the case, I'd happily endure several more blows.

At once, a tangled look crossed Jiang Ya's features, as though murmuring to herself: Lin Yi, would you mind punching me a few more times?

Roughly two minutes passed before the thrill on Zhang Shan's face began to subside a bit.

Right then, Lin Yi shared his own ideas.

Lin Yi had no idea how much time he had left on Blue Star.

Following the clash of the two planets' wills, Lin Yi needed to press on.

Reflecting on his high school days, only these two classmates had treated him genuinely well; how could Lin Yi let them settle for mediocrity?

"Relations among Blue Star nations will stay steady for quite a while; Shenxiao stands out as an excellent option. Graduate from Shenxiao, and your prospects will shine brightly."

At those words, a brief glimmer lit up in Zhang Shan and Jiang Ya's eyes, only to dim swiftly.

They both understood perfectly that Xia's premier academy accepted only elite talents. Calling their talents average wasn't an overstatement.

How could they possibly meet Shenxiao's standards?

"Hehe, Yi, I won't make you lose face. Sure, Shenxiao might bend rules for you, but I refuse to drag you down or sour our brotherly bond, so I'll stick with my present school without complaint."

Jiang Ya pressed her lips together and gave a small nod.

She yearned to attend Shenxiao, to catch sight of Lin Yi daily.

Yet pride burned within her too; she aimed to climb to Lin Yi's level through her own hard work, standing tall beside him.

Witnessing their reactions, Lin Yi furrowed his brow in bewilderment.

"Embarrass me? I never intended to use backdoor favors for your admission."

"Lately, the principal pushed me to serve as dean of Fu Xi Academy. Join there, and no connections are required. I'll handle your enrollment personally."

"Plus, those 20,000 skill points mark only my top single handout. With my help elevating your skills to Forbidden Curse tier in a month, won't you qualify for Shenxiao through pure talent?"

What? Forbidden Curse!

Zhang Shan's heart raced wildly, even after arriving in Imperial Capital.

Dare he ever aspire to genius status?

Lin Yi stayed true to form.

A brother would always be a brother.

Xia's mightiest youth carried no arrogance; you could even banter with him freely.

Even the stunning War God Xiyue exuded grace and poise, like a highborn lady.

During the meal, Zhang Shan downed multiple drinks.

He simply couldn't contain his joy.

Who could've imagined that reuniting with an old classmate would catapult him to such fortune?

Jiang Ya buzzed with excitement too, yet she held onto her composure.

Still, the confession she'd voiced before? Courage failed her now to repeat it.

Within hours of landing in Imperial Capital G Zone, over a dozen War God experts from Blue Star nations queued up humbly to meet Lin Yi.

The chance to purchase skill points with Gold Coins proved irresistible to any ambitious soul, particularly War Gods craving more power.

Lin Yi saw no downside in vending skill points to them.

The greater the boons he granted, the more attribute boosts Lin Yi gained.

This outpaced dumping skill points into Forbidden Curses for other careerists.

The fortunate buyers, after effusive thanks for their purchased skill points, rushed off.

Those out of luck opted to invest cash and linger in Imperial Capital, awaiting Lin Yi's skill cooldown.

From their subtle exchanges, Lin Yi betrayed no sense of superiority, but Jiang Ya couldn't shake the disparity she felt.

Post-dinner, Lin Yi unveiled his three new battle pets to his parents and friends.

The formidable Ancestral Dragon rivaled a War God mastering Harmonization Level Supreme Law—or might surpass it.

For now, Lin Yi harbored a few worries.

War Gods on Blue Star's caliber like Xuanyuan Qiantian were scarce.

Even guided, careerists tackling dungeons faced steep challenges.

Ancestral Dragon-tier allies would make dungeon clears far simpler for Blue Star War Gods, despite skill limits.

"Yes, Master, I'll fulfill the task!"

Ao Hun wielded Earth Skills to reshape landscapes for offense, defense, and crowd control, perfect for aiding Blue Star War Gods at Atlantis ruins—sans Soul Core loot—in dungeon conquests.

Thus, Lin Yi dispatched him with orders.

"Don't push too hard; intervene only at critical junctures, no need to overextend."

Directing aid to foreign War Gods felt alien to Lin Yi.

Were it not for securing triumph in the planetary will clash, he'd ignore them entirely.

"Prioritize your safety above all; as my battle pet, it's my responsibility to reveal a wider world to you!"

Ao Hun, in human guise, bowed deeply to Lin Yi before shifting into a murky yellow beam, vanishing skyward.

Lin Yi clenched his fist anew, thumping Zhang Shan's chest once again.

"You and Jiang Ya count as my real friends. I vow to seek you out personally after victory and deliver skill points in stages."

"In the meantime, boost your power to the max."

"Stuck on tough dungeons? Call on Ao Lie for help; farm whatever missions you must."

Ao Lie's face clouded at Lin Yi's ruling, visibly unhappy.

"Master, death holds no fear for me; I yearn to battle Izak Planet."

"My power falls short of yours, true, but it's no trifle—I can lighten your load... I..."

Human-form Ao Lie looked anxious, impulsive as ever.

Before finishing, Lin Yi clapped a hand on Ao Lie’s shoulder.

"Follow my orders precisely. I swore to reclaim the Xia Dragon Race's past glory, and I'll deliver."

Lin Yi had advanced levels today, surging attributes through [Blessing], sharpening his odds greatly.

Victory remained no sure thing, though.

Ao Shu embodied the supreme bloodline Chi Qi desired, vital for Xia Dragon Race revival.

Beyond that, it tied to Lin Yi's oath to Ao Xuan.

He wouldn't risk Ao Shu!

Nor leave Ao Shu solo in disaster; thus, the three dragons stayed back.
