Chapter 124: Returning to Luminari Academy
Ding!
[You have made a pact with five Volkoids. You are rewarded with Bloodline Pills x3.]
After forming the contract with the Overlords, this system notification appeared. Draco was surprised by both the pact and the rewards. He couldn't shake the feeling that the system was monitoring him. The three Bloodline Pills were perfect for the Overlords, while the White Tiger didn't need them—Draco had already planned to give it Old Chin's essence blood and bone.
"The place you sent me to was your ancestor's resting place," Draco said to the White Tiger, who nodded in acknowledgment.
As for the dangers, Draco didn't bother asking—the White Tiger had already explained them. Draco brought out the blood essence and the bone. The moment the blood appeared, the White Tiger felt an intimate connection to it, while the three Overlords shivered at its overwhelming aura. Meanwhile, Elsa and the girls maintained neutral expressions.
"This is for you," Draco said, handing the blood and bone to the White Tiger. It looked at him with deep gratitude before taking them and entering seclusion. The three Overlords glanced at the White Tiger with a tinge of jealousy.
"This is for you three," Draco said, handing the Bloodline Pills to the Overlords. They could feel their bloodlines yearning for the pills. With gratitude, they accepted them and entered seclusion to refine the pills.
A day later, the Overlords emerged from their seclusion. Their auras had grown more potent, though their strength seemed to have slightly decreased temporarily due to the refinement process.
In front of Draco now stood four young men in human form: a white-haired youth with black stripes, a burly golden-haired youth, a black-haired youth, and a slim golden-haired youth.

A week passed in the blink of an eye. Draco no longer found any reason to remain in the area.
While traveling, they met Rose, who joined them in leveling. She already knew about Ivy and Lyraea sneaking in, so their presence didn't surprise her. However, Rose was astonished by Draco's aura—she could sense that he had grown significantly stronger.
As they leveled together, Draco mostly observed, allowing the others to fight, kill, and level up. He only intervened when treasures related to the Intent Realm were involved. These treasures proved invaluable, greatly enhancing Draco's Intent.
"Ivy, do you know how we can leave here?" Draco asked. The elders hadn't said anything about how to leave this place. Maybe they didn't expect a student to find the small world useless.
This was, and had always been, the academy's inheritance grounds, spanning hundreds of thousands of miles. This was what made the Luminari Academy one of the top four. Numerous treasures here were absolutely useful for students, and even the elders found some of them beneficial.
But to Draco, the treasures weren't that useful. Those that were useful couldn't be utilized due to his level, so he left them untouched, planning to return later when he needed them. After all, he was now the owner of the small world.
"You can do it like this..." Ivy began explaining to Draco how to use the teleportation mark. As a teacher, she had knowledge of such things, which was why Draco asked her.
But there was a problem—how would he take Anna with him? The teleportation token had fused with him, meaning only he could be teleported back to the academy. As for the Overlords, he could place them in his pet space, one of the rewards given to him by the system to store his pets.
Draco explained the situation to Elsa, who frowned deeply. She couldn't leave her daughter here. Her gaze turned determined as she looked at Anna, who stood beside Draco.
"Master, why don't you make a contract with her?" Elsa suggested. She had thought about it carefully. Her daughter was close to Draco, and Elsa believed Anna would benefit greatly by following him.
Elsa had no husband, and Anna was her only family. She disliked men in general. As for how she gave birth to Anna, she had stumbled across the fresh corpse of a male Sun-Chasing Crow, extracted his bloodline, and used it as the foundation to give birth to her daughter.
Elsa was extremely shocked when Anna was born with both bloodlines. On the day of her birth, thunder roared, and the Origin Dao celebrated her arrival, giving auspicious signs. The other Overlords were startled and visited Elsa for answers.
At that time, Elsa lied, claiming the phenomenon was caused by an advancement in her technique. This lie intimidated the Overlords and earned her their respect. Moreover, after giving birth, Elsa found that she wasn't weakened but actually stronger than before, further supporting her claim.
Draco understood what Elsa meant. "How about we ask for her decision?" he said, turning to Anna and explaining their situation. Despite her young age, Anna's intelligence far exceeded her years.
After hearing Draco's explanation, Anna agreed. Draco proceeded with the contract.
Ding!

Draco checked Anna's status and was stunned by what he saw.

Draco shook his head at the sight of her stats. Her techniques were incredibly powerful, especially with the two crow bloodlines and their multipliers. Even though it wasn't as overpowered as his, it was still impressive.
Placing Anna in the pet space, Draco turned to Rose, Ivy, and Lyraea. They decided to stay and continue leveling until the academy contest began, at which point they would rejoin him.
Draco took his leave, disappearing from their view. The girls watched him go with sadness, their eyes filled with resolve. They could see that Draco had grown stronger, and they didn't want to become burdens to him.
"Let's go and level up," they said with determination.
