Chapter 70 Talent Skill Selection
The following morning.
The upper house cadets headed to training ground A-4 in twos and threes.
"Fei Xiaobao, what's wrong? Did you treat yourself last night?"
Seeing that Fei Xiaobao didn't seem to be in good spirits, Zhuang Yu started to tease him.
"Get lost! You can't expect anything good to come out of a dog's mouth!"
"Ha ha ha ha......"
The crowd laughed.
Fei Xiaobao yawned, his eyelids drooping. "I got into a fight with a guy from Tianyue Academy last night."
"Tianyue Academy? Did they win or lose?" Qin Tian asked.
"Of course we won. We couldn't lose to Tianyue Academy. I challenged them to a match, and we played five games in a row, winning 3 to 2. We played until 5 a.m., when it was already dawn."
"I'm so sleepy right now."
Qin Tian nodded, "Winning is fine."
"What? Do we have a grudge against Tianyue Academy?" Xiao Weiqing asked.
Xue Cheng said, "It's not that we have a grudge, but we have a conflict and we don't like each other. To put it simply, we've been ranked ninth in the Tianyue Academy exchange competition for the past few years."
"But, there are only eight top universities in the Great Xia Dynasty, you understand?"
Qin Tian nodded. "This year, Tianyue Academy produced a Level 6 extraordinary talent. This person is currently ranked 6th on the Heavenly Ladder Ranking."
"In recent years, Tianyue Academy has been trying to replace us as one of the top eight academies. This year, they are particularly ambitious. They have been making outrageous statements on the forum and no longer take Luojiang Academy seriously. Their eyes are now on the top six academies."
Xue Cheng scoffed, "What's the point of just one person? In an exchange competition, the strength of the whole team is what matters."
Duan Shuyu said, "They are not to be underestimated. I have read the information that Bai Xiaosheng has collected about various universities. They have five students in the top 100, while we currently only have three and a half."
"Three and a half? Xiao Weiqing, Qin Tian, and Wei Lan, who is the half?" Fei Xiaobao asked.
"That is indeed me," Duan Shuyu said, puffing out his chest.
Xue Cheng said, "They only made it into the top 100 for one day, and now they've dropped to over 130th place."
"So what? They're in, that's it. Xiao Weiqing fell out of the top 100, didn't he?"
Xue Cheng said, "Don't you have any shame saying that?"
"You think you can compare to Xiao Weiqing? He hasn't fought in two days."
Duan Shuyu shook his finger. "Once I'm in, I'm in. And I'll be back in sooner or later."
Amidst laughter and conversation, the group arrived at the training ground.
The training ground was already occupied.
It was Sun Bing.
Sun Bing, a middle-aged man with gray hair, wearing glasses and looking like a scholar, was currently looking through some documents.
A few minutes later, he raised his head and said:
"Is everyone here? Let's line up, I'd like to call on everyone and get to know you all."
The hundred members of the upper house quickly formed a square formation.
Xiao Weiqing.
"arrive."
"Qin Tian".
"arrive."
"..."
"Alright, let me introduce myself. My name is Sun Bing. I do some research at the university, mainly in the area of extraordinary talent."
Then, I'll also make a cultivation plan for you new students who have just entered the academy. Of course, this is just for reference; the specifics should be based on your own efforts.
Sun Bing continued, "As everyone knows, our awakened extraordinary talents are generally divided into three categories: magic cultivation, spiritual cultivation, and martial arts cultivation."
"By the way, have you guys ever played video games?"
Everyone was slightly taken aback.
Sun Bing's words jumped around a bit.
Some people nodded, while others shook their heads.
"For those of you who have played the game, how do you make your character stronger?"
Fei Xiaobao: "Level up, get equipment."
Sun Bing nodded, "Yes, improve your cultivation level and buy weapons."
Yin Tiantian said, "Learn skills."
Sun Bingdao: "Hmm, develop extraordinary talents, or learn other talent skills."
Xiao Weiqing listened to the question-and-answer session between Sun Bing and the students and understood Sun Bing's meaning.
Sun Bing gestured with his hand, "Today we're mainly here to discuss your extraordinary talents and how you should choose your next talent skill."
"Yin Tiantian, now that you possess the Water Spirit Technique, what other talent skills do you think you need?"
Yin Tiantian thought for a few seconds, "Amplification type, or spiritual energy recovery type."
He added, "There's also the ability to increase the upper limit of spiritual energy."
Xiao Weiqing nodded to himself. He thought so too. When he first entered the Talent Skill Shop, the first thing he looked at was the Spirit Energy Recovery category.
Sun Bing nodded slightly. "Amplification-type items are very rare and expensive. They are usually obtained through powerful weapons or treasures."
"The upper limit of spiritual energy varies from person to person. Right now, you need to open up your dantian as soon as possible."
"Comparatively, the easiest to obtain are recovery-type talent skills."
Fei Xiaobao said weakly, "Teacher Sun, are you serious? I've been to the Talent Skill Shop. Not to mention a level 4 recovery talent skill, even a level 3 one costs tens of thousands of points. Where are you going to get one easily?"
Sun Bing laughed and said, "Any problem that can be solved with points isn't a problem."
Fei Xiaobao said, "Teacher, you're not suggesting we take out a loan, are you?"
Sun Bing shook his head. "Fei Xiaobao, I've seen your information. You have a level 4 talent skill. You can't get a loan even if you want to; there are requirements."
"Why?" Fei Xiaobao asked.
Sun Bing explained, "Level 3 recovery skills and level 4 and above talent skills are all incredibly valuable. If your strength isn't up to par, and the academy lets you take them on a loan, but you end up being killed by monsters or dying in a mission, wouldn't the academy suffer a double loss?"
Fei Xiaobao: "..."
"So stop focusing on those level 3 and 4 talent skills. If you can afford it, buy a level 2 one to use first. As long as it suits you, sometimes level 2 is no worse than level 3. You'll improve your strength faster at this stage."
"Anyone who has played games knows that you learn the basic skills first as a transition; you don't learn the ultimate skill right away."
Everyone lowered their heads and began to ponder Sun Bing's words.
Sun Bing continued, "Next, you will each demonstrate your extraordinary talents and innate skills in turn."
"After I collect the information, I will recommend suitable talent skills to you to purchase from the store based on your extraordinary talents."
"Yin Tiantian, you go first."
After saying that, Sun Bing waved his hand, and a spiritual energy barrier appeared in front of him.
Yin Tiantian stepped forward and said, "Excuse me, Teacher Sun."
Suddenly, Yin Tiantian's body emanated spiritual energy, and she pointed a finger, saying, "Go!"
A water dragon appeared in mid-air, much larger than when she fought Xiao Weiqing last time. Clearly, Yin Tiantian's strength had improved significantly recently.
The dragon locked onto Sun Bing and instantly rushed towards the barrier in front of him.
"Snapped!"
The water dragon was torn to pieces.
The spiritual energy barrier remained completely intact.
Sun Bing nodded as he took notes on the form.
"Good, next one."
Each student in the Upper House stepped forward to demonstrate their extraordinary talents.
Xiao Weiqing also witnessed Fei Xiaobao's innate skill for the first time.
"Vacuum wave!"
Fei Xiaobao's already obese body swelled up again after taking a deep breath, and then he exhaled air waves from his mouth, which continuously rammed into Sun Bing's spiritual energy barrier like small cannons.
"Ding-dong~~"
It made a clanging sound.
Sun Bing laughed and said, "The attack was very powerful, but you didn't need to use so much force. Do you have a grudge against me?"
Fei Xiaobao: "Hehe..."
"Go down, next one."
"Wei Lan".
