Dragon Covenant

Chapter 19

Given the potential Albert has shown now, I'm afraid Mentor Lamb from Class One must be feeling really bad. This is such a slap in the face for him.

Rosalie looked at Albert's back and said in disbelief, "Didn't he have no soul? How could it suddenly appear?"

Kelly said, "Li Luo's situation isn't unheard of. Some rare treasures can make it happen, though they are extremely scarce. However, it's not impossible for Albert's parents to have the ability to do so. Kelly's uncle is the president of the Clark Chamber of Commerce in Navia City, so she has learned a lot from what she has seen and heard."

"Why didn't he use that kind of rare treasure until now?" Rosalie said.

Kelly smiled and said, "I guess it requires some special conditions. Only Albert knows the details."

Kelly's eyes rested on Albert. "Have you finally solved the problem of the empty soul? Can you catch up in the next month?"

Mentor Hill on the stands could hardly believe the result in front of him.

Lamb, on the other hand, hadn't said a word from beginning to end. He just stood there like a stone platform. The other mentors would occasionally glance at Lamb, with smiles in their eyes.

The old dean said with a smile, "A genius will always return to being a genius."

Lamb said faintly, "Old dean, you might have used the wrong word. With the strength at the sixth level and what looks like a five or six-star water-element soul, it doesn't seem like the makings of a great talent no matter how you look at it."

The old dean shook his head and said, "Lamb, you're just too arrogant. Be careful not to suffer losses because of this."

Lamb looked at Hill and said, "This time, the students in my Class One were outmatched. I'll present five purple lotus leaves later."

At this time, the old dean called Albert over.

Albert greeted with a smile, "Hello, dean."

The old dean looked at Albert and said, "Have you solved the problem of your empty soul?"

Albert nodded and said, "Yes, it's a five-star water-element soul."

Hearing that it was a five-star water-element soul, Lamb couldn't help but smile slightly and said, "Albert, your talent is just so-so. But if you work hard, it's still possible for you to achieve something in the future."

Albert said, "Then I won't trouble Mentor Lamb to worry about it. Although the soul star level is important, it doesn't mean that a five-star soul can't reach the god level."

"A five-star soul reaching the god level? You're really a naive child who believes in everything."

The old dean stopped Lamb and said to Albert, "It's best that you have this confidence. However, there's only one month left until the big exam of the academy. I'm afraid you'll have to work even harder."

Albert nodded and said, "Understood, dean."

The old dean announced to the whole audience, "There's only one month left until the academy's big exam. The preliminary exam will start in two weeks. Besides, the admission standard of Nouhurst Advanced Academy has been released this year. One needs to reach the seventh level of the beginner stage."

As soon as these words came out, many students in the arena looked disappointed. Reaching a level no lower than the seventh level was impossible for them.

As the top academy in the Nouhurst Empire and among the top ones in the surrounding countries, of course not everyone can enter Nouhurst Advanced Academy.

Albert smacked his lips. "No lower than the seventh level..." Now he was at the sixth level, and there was still a one-level gap. He would have to practice like crazy in the next half month. The seventh level was the minimum requirement. By then, there might be students at the eighth or ninth level. If he wanted to be on the safe side, he would have to upgrade his five-star water-element soul.

The difference between a five-star and a six-star is not small. If he really wanted to upgrade it to six-star, the branch of the Martin family in Navia City would be drained by him.

Suddenly, he felt someone approaching him. Turning his head to look, he saw Kelly walking slowly towards him.

"Congratulations, Albert," Kelly said.

When Albert saw her, he wanted to hide. But just as he moved his feet, he stopped. Albert said, "Hello, Kelly."

Kelly said, "Not hiding from me anymore?"

Albert said awkwardly, "I wasn't hiding."

Kelly didn't believe it and said, "Albert, I'm really grateful that you gave me guidance on soul skills back then. You don't have to avoid me, because I didn't take your place by unfair means. This position is proved by strength. Albert, I'm now the top student in Navia Academy. If you want to take this position back, then defeat me. I used to consider your feelings, but now that you've solved the problem of your soul, you should take back what you've lost."

Albert smiled bitterly and nodded, "I'll try my best."

Kelly smiled and said, "I'll be waiting for you. By the way, the years of setbacks you've had have made my admiration for you decrease a bit. So..."

She didn't continue after saying this and just turned around and left.

Albert looked at Kelly's back and shook his head. "It seems that pretty girls are all narrow-minded."

Suddenly, Albert felt that there was a gaze fixed on him. Turning his head, he saw a figure on the stands looking at him, with a warning look in his eyes. It was David, who was currently the second-best student in Navia Academy. Their eyes met, and David's eyes were filled with anger. His lips moved as if he was saying, "Albert, stay away from Kelly."
