ch4 under the dragon wing

Lu Chen stared at the shimmering holographic panel, a whirlwind of confusion swirling in his mind. The Beast Emperor System, a concept so fantastical it felt like a fever dream, was now a tangible part of his reality. He tapped the screen, accessing his status panel. Level 4. It was real. The surge of power he'd felt earlier wasn't an illusion. He was stronger, somehow… different.

A knock on the door startled him. He glanced up as the old man from earlier entered the room, his cloak billowing slightly as he moved.

"This is your room," the old man said, his voice calm and reassuring. "Consider it your temporary residence. It's almost nine in the evening."

Lu Chen nodded, still processing the events of the day. He pulled out his phone, a familiar object in this surreal situation, and called his sister.

"Zili? Where are you?"

Her voice, laced with worry, crackled through the speaker. "Lu Chen! Where are you? Aunt Li'Er is frantic. You didn't come home after the academy…"

"I'm fine," Lu Chen reassured her, his voice trembling slightly. "I'll be back soon. Don't worry."

The old man, who had been observing the conversation with an amused glint in his eyes, spoke up. "No need for that, young man. I'll send some of my agents to fetch your sister. You can continue your training here without any worries."

Lu Chen's eyes widened. The old man's offer was both surprising and incredibly relieving. He glanced back at his system screen. The holographic panel remained active, its information only visible to him. He realized that while others could see his awakened level, the detailed information of the Beast Emperor System remained hidden.

"Thank you," Lu Chen said, his voice filled with gratitude. "Thank you so much."

The old man smiled, a rare and unexpected display of warmth. "Tomorrow, your teacher will arrive. They'll begin your training."

"And… who are you?" Lu Chen asked, his curiosity finally getting the better of him.

The old man paused, a hint of amusement in his eyes. "I am Maw Zu," he said, his voice carrying an air of authority. "Leader of the Dragon's Maw Guild."

Lu Chen's breath hitched. He discreetly tried to check Maw Zu's level, his curiosity overwhelming his caution. The number that appeared on his system screen sent a shockwave through him.

Lv80 it's need a millions of exp to reach Lv80 it's mean fourth class advancement lu chen sister comes with guild agents and she give lu chen a soft hug and she says I was so worried what happened I'm academy why are you here in this major guild tell me tell me everything lu chen tell his sister everything both eat together and went to sleep

Lu chen thinking, Level 80. A legendary figure, a titan among the awakened. He had been taken under the wing of one of the most powerful individuals in Lucia. His life, once defined by ordinariness and disappointment, had been irrevocably altered. The journey had only just began.
