2: Bone Wing Ice Dragon King

“My System has really arrived!”

After the initial shock, Chen Qing was overcome with joy!

At this moment, he was even a little teary-eyed!

After Transmigration to this familiar yet strange world, he had faced a barrage of bad news within a single day, starting with a disastrous beginning.

Now that the System had appeared, he truly felt that his chance for a dark horse comeback had arrived!

“Hoo—”

Taking a deep breath, Chen Qing suppressed his Excited (excited) feelings and carefully sensed the changes in his body. After all, with the System upgrading his ability, his mere 0.38 vitality had actually seen a significant increase!

It jumped directly to 0.68!

One must know that, in his memory, he had continuously tried the ordinary person's vitality cultivation method provided by Yunhai Middle School, which was the “Blue Star Federation 169th set of broadcast gymnastics.” The result was that his vitality would only increase at a snail's pace, less than 0.000000001 per day.

Unless he survived until the Heavenly Dao collapsed, how else could he become a Martial Artist?

So, this 0.68 vitality, to him, was like a refreshing breeze stroking his nearly withered body.

Chen Qing now felt that his physical fitness had improved significantly, and he sensed an unprecedented power within himself!

He instinctively slammed his fist onto the coffee table in front of him. This coffee table was a solid steel coffee table.

However, under Chen Qing's casual punch, a slight dent appeared!

And he didn't feel too intense a pain!

Is this the feeling that comes with an increase in vitality strength?

Chen Qing was somewhat shocked. This level of destructive power, if it were in his previous life, would be that of a bona fide humanoid Tyrannosaurus Rex!

After calming down for a moment, Chen Qing decided to try out his upgraded ability.

S-rank Bone Wing Ice Dragon King!

As he silently recited it in his mind, an extreme chill erupted from all around him in the next moment, instantly spreading outwards.

In Chen Qing's perception, a phantom figure appeared behind him!

It was a majestic Dragon, entirely translucent, covered in frost, with ice and snow crystals for scales!

Its body was strong and powerful, with a pair of huge Dragon claws, and a pair of enormous Dragon-shaped Bone Wings suspended its massive body in mid-air. Its eyes were a dreamy crystal blue, deep and mesmerizing, and it continuously exhaled ice-blue breath!

However, its form was illusory, and its overall height was only half that of a person, but from the moment of its appearance, the 50-square-meter rental room instantly became eerily cold and silent.

The walls were already covered with a layer of white frost.

“Damn it! What's going on next door?! Where did they buy that air conditioner? The cooling is so good? Most of my alcohol buzz has been frozen away!”

Next door, the curses of a drunken man could be heard.

Chen Qing quickly recovered from his shock and retracted the Bone Wing Ice Dragon King's aura.

Such a powerful ice-attribute aura!

Is this the S-rank ability Bone Wing Ice Dragon King?

If it were the original F-rank ability Ice and Snow Affinity, at most it could only make people who came into contact with him feel cold.

He looked at the frost condensed everywhere in the room, as if the entire rental room had plunged into an ice cellar in that instant!

And this was only because he had deliberately suppressed his aura!

Chen Qing touched the teacup on the table, which had already frozen solid. The tea inside was made from his father Chen Youzhong's favorite tea leaves, which had heat-reducing properties.

Well, no need for heat reduction now; the whole thing had frozen into an ice cube!

Chen Qing was in a good mood, playing with the frozen teacup.

In his memory, Yunhai Middle School had not seen an S-rank ability appear in the past 10 years!

The only A-rank ability Awakener, if he remembered correctly, was named Li Tianyang, who Awakened the A-rank fire ability [Flame Emperor].

That person is currently studying at Jiangnan Martial Arts University, ranked among the top ten in the Federation, and is said to have achieved remarkable success.

Since he had Awakened an even more powerful S-rank ability, could he also get into a top ten university?

Thinking of this, Chen Qing didn't delay. He wasn't in a hurry to test the System's other functions, such as the Ice God Space.

Because his most important task at the moment was to ensure he could successfully enter a martial arts academy in the next few days.

The past month had been the period for martial arts university admissions, and his current application had not been submitted to the major universities but had been transferred to various vocational schools.

Vocational schools were not his goal.

With that thought, Chen Qing quickly left the house.

“Chen Qing, Teacher Ma said you didn't agree to my request to date.”

Upon arriving at the school gate again, Chen Qing met a graceful young girl. She wore light makeup and was still dressed in a simple school uniform, her long hair casually flowing in the gentle breeze.

Her appearance, one could say, was the 'white moonlight' in the hearts of many men in his previous life!

If it were in his previous life, in such a peaceful era, if such a young and beautiful girl actively approached him, he would definitely betray his Qilin arm.

However, this was a Martial Dao world, so he still nodded.

The girl seemed a bit flustered, quickly waving her hand: “It's okay, Chen Qing, I'm already very satisfied that you didn't directly reject me! We can take it slowly.”

The girl's eyes were flustered, and a blush appeared on her face.

After she received the list of potential partners assigned by the school, she actually didn't do much choosing but went directly to look for Chen Qing's information.

She was a simple girl, introverted, and only wanted to find a suitable person to live a stable life with, without too many grand ambitions.

Chen Qing was usually quiet, but he was excellent in both character and academics, and his looks were also quite good. As a classmate from a neighboring class, she had paid attention to him many times.

Chen Qing saying he wasn't moved would be a lie. In his previous life, he was mainly busy with his career and missed many opportunities for relationships.

Now, with such a shy, beautiful, and curvaceous girl confessing her feelings to him, even a monk would probably put on a wig.

But he couldn't.

“Tang Shi, you don't have to be like this. I'm sorry, I can't stop here. My ability is not F-rank; I want to walk the path of Martial Dao.”

The girl, Tang Shi, was stunned by his words, and a hint of sadness appeared in her eyes.

Seeing her downcast expression, Chen Qing, as a straight man, didn't know how to comfort her: “Tang Shi, I...”

Tang Shi shook her head and said with a bitter smile: “It's okay! Go do what you want to do. I was overthinking it.”

With that, the girl turned and jogged towards the school.

Chen Qing watched her retreating figure with a sigh.

In his previous life, he had never rejected anyone, only been rejected, and it turned out to be this feeling.

Upon entering the teachers' office again, the homeroom teacher, Ma Wenguo, was still organizing the latest student information.

There were other teachers in the office, all quite busy recently, as their students' promotion rates also determined their annual performance and commission.

Ma Wenguo saw Chen Qing approach again and raised his head in confusion: “Chen Qing? You've thought it through already? I told you earlier, the girl's family situation is good, she's a very nice person, and pretty too. She even specifically asked me for your information. If it were me, with such a beautiful school belle pursuing me, hesitating for a second would be a sin.”

Chen Qing ignored his words and stood before Ma Wenguo's office desk: “Teacher Ma, it's like this, I'm here to modify my personal information.”

“Modify information? Go ahead, as long as it's true, I'll make the decision to help you change it.”

Chen Qing cleared his throat and, following the method he had thought of, started to make up a story: “Teacher Ma, it's like this, after I went back just now, I suddenly felt dizzy and slept for a while. When I woke up, I found that my ability seemed to have Awakened again!”

Ma Wenguo's work suddenly stopped. He looked up, adjusted his glasses, and said uncertainly: “Awakened again? Chen Qing, you're not joking with me, are you?”

He had been teaching for decades, having taught thousands, if not tens of thousands, of students, and he had never heard of anyone's ability being able to evolve.

This isn't Digimon or Pokémon; you can't just plug in a chip and evolve, can you?

Chen Qing's expression remained unchanged as he continued: “It's true! Teacher Ma, after I woke up, I found that the temperature around me was extremely low. You know, my ability is Ice and Snow Affinity, and I can't possibly affect the surrounding environment to that extent. So, I released my ability and found that it really had changed.”

Beside them, a well-built female teacher had a strange expression, pushed her chair over, looked at Ma Wenguo, and chuckled: “Teacher Ma, your class's student has quite a sense of humor, doesn't he? How about this, I'll take care of this young man's job. My dad's company just happens to need a few salespeople, and I think his mouth is perfect for it!”

Laughter came from around them, and several teachers looked over, seemingly waiting for Chen Qing to perform.

Ma Wenguo's expression was displeased: “Li Qian, don't be so rude! Save those words for your own students, and show some respect to mine!”

He turned to look at Chen Qing. He felt that perhaps due to the recent Martial Arts selection, his student was under too much pressure, not sleeping well, and experiencing hallucinations.

“Chen Qing, during this period, pay more attention to rest. Leave the matters of applying to schools and choosing a partner to me. Don't worry, I will definitely choose the most suitable school and partner for you!”

Chen Qing sighed. Sure enough, such things were hard to believe. It seemed he would have to demonstrate a little.

The next moment, unnoticed by everyone, a chilling aura began to spread throughout the office.
