Dragon Covenant

Chapter 3

Instructor Hill walked over, offered a few words of encouragement to Albert Martin, and then said to the numerous trainees, "Students, starting from next month, you will enter the most crucial stage of the major examination. Whether you can enter the Newhurst Advanced Academy depends on this assessment. So, all of you should work hard on your cultivation."

"Dismissed."

Hearing this, all the trainees looked solemn. They had been studying hard for several years, and what they were striving for was precisely that major examination next month. If they could enter a prestigious institution of higher learning through this, their future achievements would be greatly enhanced.

Albert Martin left the martial arts arena and walked along the path towards the outside of the school. Along the way, he encountered many trainees, and both male and female trainees would look at him. After all, Albert Martin was exceptionally handsome in appearance and had a reputation that everyone in the academy envied.

Albert Martin was already used to these gazes. He stopped at the entrance of the academy. In front of him was a stone wall, on which were recorded all the prodigies who had graduated from the Navia Academy. It was the honor wall of the Navia Academy.

Many students of the Navia Academy had gathered here. They had probably read it countless times, but it was still bustling with activity.

Albert Martin smiled as he looked at a position at the top of the honor wall. A ray of light projected a stunning figure that looked vividly lifelike. Beneath it was engraved the name of a girl.

Emily, an extraordinary genius graduated from the Navia Academy, with a 9-star light soul. Her outstanding talent had drawn praise from countless people in the Newhurst Empire.

After studying in the Navia Academy for two years, before the entrance examination for further education, she was exceptionally admitted to the Newhurst Advanced Academy, the most prestigious in the Newhurst State. In the past hundred years, not a single person from Navia City had been admitted like this. She had already become a legend in the Navia Academy, and countless trainees looked up to her here.

Feeling the gazes of the surrounding trainees looking at him, with envious looks in their eyes whether they were male or female, he understood the reason.

Because he and Emily had been engaged since childhood. To put it bluntly, she was his fiancée.

The first time he met Emily was probably when he was around three years old. Once, his parents went on a long trip and came back with five-year-old Emily. Then his parents took Emily as their disciple. His parents were extremely fond of her.

When they were young, Emily was so outstanding that Albert Martin was lectured by her every day. It was a nightmare back then.

Why did Emily become his fiancée? It was all because of his father. Once, his father got drunk and blurted out a drunken remark, "How nice it would be if Emily were my daughter-in-law." Then the next day, ten-year-old Emily herself wrote a marriage contract by hand and handed it to his stunned father.

That time, his father was almost beaten silly by his mother who rushed him home.

Then his mother asked Emily to take back the marriage contract, but she refused to do so no matter what.

Finally, his parents had no choice but to let her be, but the marriage contract was put away by them and never mentioned again, as if it didn't exist.

As time passed, this matter gradually faded away and seemed to have been forgotten.

Because one of Emily's suitors was so crazy that finally she directly announced that she had an engagement with Albert Martin.

At that time, it caused a sensation throughout Navia City. At that time, Albert Martin hadn't entered the Navia Academy yet. Otherwise, he would have been beaten badly. Now that he was in the Navia Academy, Albert Martin could truly feel Emily's charm.

After thinking for a moment, Albert Martin turned around and walked out of the academy.

Just as he walked out of the academy gate, Albert Martin looked up and saw a carriage parked in front of the steps. The carriage was antique in style, and four dark red and sturdy flying horses were pulling it. It was the carriage of the Martin family.

A girl stepped down from the carriage. She had a simple ponytail, an extremely delicate face, and an alluring luster under the sunlight. The most attractive thing was her pair of golden pupils, which were as bright and pure as the sun.

A shout came from the crowd, "Is that... Emily?!" Immediately, the area outside the academy was in an uproar. At this moment, both male and female eyes showed excited expressions. They didn't expect to be able to see the legend graduated from the Navia Academy today.

Albert Martin walked up to Emily and said in surprise, "Sister Emily, when did you return to Navia City?"

The Martin family started from Navia City. When Albert Martin's parents reached the god level, they shifted their focus to the Newhurst State. After Emily entered the Newhurst Advanced Academy, the most prestigious in the Newhurst State, she also went to the headquarters of the Martin family in the Newhurst State. In the past two years, she had to manage the Martin family, so it was difficult for her to return to Navia City. The two of them hadn't seen each other for a long time.
