Epic Transformation: The Dragon Master Who Defies the Divine

Chapter 145: Formal Meeting

There was no need to observe anything further.

When Qin Fan sensed himself being locked onto by several intense presences, he immediately spotted several figures in the central area of Arena No. 1.

The surrounding students were also looking at them with fear and respect.

The first to catch his eye was the female figure standing in the center.

Qin Fan's immediate attention to this woman was due to her striking appearance and features.

She had dragon horns on her forehead, with long fiery red hair.

Her delicate, flawless features and red vertical pupils were striking.

She wasn't very tall, standing at about 1.6 meters with a cute figure, wearing a loose martial arts outfit that didn't hide her voluptuous form.

But don't let her childlike appearance fool you.

The aura of power emanating from her was enough to make anyone wary and awe-struck.

Additionally...

Qin Fan sensed a familiar dragon might from her.

Hmm...

Upon reflection, he realized it was identical to the dragon might emitted by his own Inferno Staff!

There was no need to guess her identity any further.

She must be the legendary student council president, and also the princess from the Dragonborn tribe, Anna Chris.

The Dragonborn tribe carries the bloodline of the Great Inferno Dragon.

It is said that the first Dragonborn was born from the union of a human man and a Great Inferno Dragon, and was revered as the 'royal family' among the Dragonborn.

Subsequently, other humans mated with higher-tier dragons, wyverns, and sub-dragons.

Thus, the Dragonborn tribe gradually developed.

Of course...

Before the Great Catastrophe, the Dragonborn tribe had not yet appeared in the world where Qin Fan resided.

These background stories belonged to another world where the Dragonborn originated.

However, this did not diminish the strength of this race.

Anything associated with 'dragon' is inherently powerful.

Besides the easily identifiable Dragonborn princess, there were two men and two women standing by her side.

One of the men was Mu Xinyu, the second-ranked in the third year, a Mage at his third transition, the Grand Archmage.

Beside him stood another man, Shi Tianyou, the fifth-ranked in the third year, a Mechanic at his third transition, the Mechanical Overlord.

On Anna's right was a woman named Bian Xuetong, the third-ranked in the third year, a Swordsman at her third transition, the Sword Saint.

To Anna's left was another woman, Nie Kexin, the fourth-ranked in the third year, a Priest at her third transition, the Great Sage.

These five were the most outstanding students of Feng Tian Academy.

Although Shi Tianyou had been removed from the solo competition, he still held a spot in the team competition, with Ge Dongshu as his substitute. Hence, his presence here was expected.

However, his gaze at Qin Fan was filled with unspoken resentment and frustration.

Standing cautiously behind these five was another person.

He was now the 'first in the second year,' Ge Dongshu.

After Qin Fan killed Xue Sheng, Xue Sheng's level dropped significantly, along with his strength and attributes.

Thus, the originally second-ranked Ge Dongshu rose to the top.

As Qin Fan observed them, they also observed him.

The only difference was...

Qin Fan looked at them without any particular emotion, neither respect nor fear.

He seemed completely indifferent to these so-called senior third-year students.

Their reactions to Qin Fan varied.

The Dragonborn princess Anna Chris stood on the high platform, her scrutinizing gaze falling on Qin Fan.

She must have already heard about what Qin Fan had said before.

"From now on, all members of the student council must avoid him!"

"This rule applies to the student council president as well!"

These words had angered the newly returned Dragonborn princess.

Though she was not a bully like Xue Sheng, being publicly named like that had certainly annoyed her.

Mu Xinyu, Bian Xuetong, and Nie Kexin initially looked at Qin Fan with disdain, but perhaps after hearing about Qin Fan's overwhelming victory over the second-year students, their eyes now showed curiosity and interest.

As for Shi Tianyou...

His gaze was filled with undisguised contempt, disdain, and challenge.

According to tradition, he, the fifth-ranked third-year, should have represented Feng Tian Academy as the fifth seed in the Longguo Country qualifiers.

But now the deans had steadfastly placed Qin Fan in that fifth seed spot.

Could he accept that?

This should have been his position!

Now he could only compete in the team competition!

The significance of individual and team competitions was different.

Winning in a team competition showcased teamwork and coordination, with possibly one MVP standing out.

Winning in an individual competition put all the spotlight on you, proving your personal strength.

Many previously unknown competitors had gained fame through individual battles in past World Championships.

Shi Tianyou naturally wanted the same.

But now, it seemed he didn't even have the chance, especially with his spot taken by a freshman!

So what if you beat Xue Sheng, that trash?

He was only a level 59, not yet in his third transition as a Sealed Demon Sword Soul!

I, Shi Tianyou, am a level 67, third transition Mechanical Overlord!

How can our strengths compare?

The more he thought about it, the more irritated he became, his gaze at Qin Fan turning increasingly hostile.

"Alright, is everyone here?"

As the tension rose, making even the nearby spectators feel a confrontation was imminent, a gentle voice broke the silence.

Principal He Yalan, in her black stockings, stepped out from a small spatial teleportation array, followed by dozens of teaching staff.

Upon her appearance.

Principal He Yalan turned to look at a staff member.

Understanding her intent, the staff member immediately activated an isolation magic array, blocking the scene from outside view.

This was a necessary confidentiality measure.

After all, they were about to start training for the World Championship.

Details about the participants' talents, skill effects, and team strategies needed to be kept secret.
