Chapter 17 Gathering of Geniuses
"Sigh, you can't compare. People who are more talented than you are also more hardworking."
Li Fangnan shook his head.
Zhang Dawei said, "That's right, Brother Qing is amazing. We cultivated together for several hours last night. My Shenque acupoint is still a little swollen and painful, but Brother Qing is like nothing happened."
"Have you all started cultivating?" Li Fangnan asked.
"Of course, don't you have one?" Zhang Dawei replied matter-of-factly.
Having acquired such extraordinary talents, they were definitely eager to try them out. Zhang Dawei is a prime example; he accidentally used too much force and almost injured himself.
Ning Zhi nodded.
"Damn! I forgot you're all level 3 'skills' and have your own Qi absorption techniques."
"Don't you have one?"
Zhang Dawei asked again.
Li Fangnan said, "Remove the word '吗'."
"I am a level 3 'skill' user. I only have skills, not the Qi absorption method. I am still using the original basic Qi absorption method."
"Now you know why the 'techniques' of extraordinary talents are so good."
Zhang Dawei nodded, secretly relieved. "Then your cultivation speed will be much slower?"
"That's not it. It's just that during this period, once you get to the academy, you can buy other extraordinary talent cultivation methods, but they're not as good as your own original ones."
Upon hearing this...
Not only was Zhang Dawei stunned, but Ning Zhi's eyes widened as well. "Extraordinary talents can be bought?"
Li Fangnan said, "Of course."
"Where did these extraordinary talents come from? How did you buy them?"
at this time.
Jiang Peng stepped forward and answered:
"The vast majority of them were left behind by our ancestors before they died. A small number were left behind by people who had extraordinary talents but did not want to cultivate them. These were called innate skills, and they were much more difficult to cultivate than those that were awakened on their own."
"As for how to buy them, the school's mall and the Great Xia Chamber of Commerce both sell them openly, but they are generally very expensive. For example, a level 2 extraordinary talent can cost several thousand or tens of thousands of points, and a level 3 talent can cost tens of thousands or even hundreds of thousands of points."
Zhang Dawei muttered, "My God, I'm actually worth that much."
Jiang Peng was amused by Zhang Dawei. "That's right. According to the market, a level 3 'skill' with the five elements attribute usually costs at least 10 points."
Zhang Dawei swallowed hard, almost tempted.
"Senior, since I'm so valuable, won't I get 'that'?"
"Which one?"
"It's either that they're dead, or they're voluntarily stripped of their extraordinary talents..."
Li Fangnan said seriously, "Impossible."
"The newly formed extraordinary talents exist in the human body in a very special and fragile way. Forcibly removing them will only damage them. Even those who voluntarily have their extraordinary talents removed must go to the authorities to ask a specialist to remove them."
Moreover, the extraordinary talents stripped away will be officially preserved for three to five years before they can be traded. This is for stability and to prevent forced or arbitrary transactions.
Jiang Peng nodded. "Li Fangnan is right. There was once a powerful expert at the seventh realm who forcibly stripped someone else of their level 6 extraordinary talent for his descendants. When the Great Xia discovered this, all the extraordinary cultivators of that family at the fourth realm or above were killed without exception."
"The remaining members of the clan were also exiled to the Demon Realm to atone for their crimes. The entire Blue Star has zero tolerance for this kind of thing."
......
During the conversation.
The aircraft has reached the edge of Anqiu City.
As the aircraft descended, a bustling city came into view.
however.
Before anyone could see it clearly, the aircraft swept past the edge of the city.
"Hey, senior, aren't we going into town?"
"Why go into the city? What's so great about this crappy Anqiu?"
"..."
Zhang Dawei: "Senior, you seem to be from Anqiu City, right?"
"Yeah, so what?" Jiang Peng said indifferently.
"That's where we're going!"
Jiang Peng pointed to a spot in the sky above Anqiu City.
Everyone looked on, their eyes widening in surprise.
"Space...space...ship?"
In the distance.
A futuristic aerial fortress, shaped like a dolphin and nearly a kilometer long, floats in the air.
Jiang Peng laughed and said, "You can understand it that way, 'Wisdom and Courage'."
"A combat aircraft possessed only by the eight major universities, equipped with psionic cannons. Anything below the fifth realm can be defeated with a single shot."
Jiang Peng's egg-shaped private aircraft slowly approached.
The control panel issued a request: "Aircraft number, LJSY-03, owner, Jiang Peng from the Upper Academy of Luojiang Academy, requests entry."
Through the window, everyone saw a red light sweep across Jiang Peng's aircraft.
Then came the sound of machinery.
"Check complete, verification successful, entry permitted!"
"Please land at LSP-12."
Flight and landing.
At this moment, Xiao Weiqing also opened his eyes.
I glanced at the panel
One-dimensional Qi and Fire: (53/1000) silk
"Not bad, it adds another 5 strands of fire energy."
Jiang Peng looked at Xiao Weiqing with satisfaction and asked, "Is the cultivation finished?"
"Well, since I have nothing else to do, I might as well cultivate my spiritual energy."
"That's right, little by little, it adds up."
Li Fangnan said, "Seniors, saying things like that makes me sound useless."
Li Fangnan now felt utterly worthless. His family background was inferior to Wei Lan, who had remained silent all along, and his strength was even less than Zhang Dawei's, not to mention Xiao Weiqing. The key was that this guy was also very stubborn, spending all his time cultivating.
He certainly didn't believe that Xiao Weiqing was just putting on an act. They could all feel the fluctuations in spiritual energy just now, and they were incredibly shocked by Xiao Weiqing's cultivation speed. The title of the number one in the spiritual energy assessment was well-deserved.
"You can't rush things. Once you get to the academy, find a way to buy a high-level Qi absorption technique first."
"Understood, senior."
The aircraft came to a stop.
"Let's go."
The crowd stepped out.
Following Jiang Peng, they wandered around until they arrived in the central region.
The hall is several thousand square meters in size, with a rough estimate of nearly a thousand seats in the center.
"Jiang Peng, you've finally arrived."
"I told you to throw that goose egg away and get a new one. So many of us are waiting for you."
"Wang Fu, I'll get a new one, give me points in return."
Jiang Peng punched one of the young men, laughed and cursed, and then hugged another young man.
The three of them seemed to know each other quite well.
Li Fangnan, following behind, muttered, "Didn't the senior say there was a speed limit?"
Wang Fu laughed heartily, "Jiang Peng, you rascal, you even fooled your junior!"
Li Fangnan was puzzled.
Wang Fu said, "There is no speed limit on the academy's flying vehicles. When your senior Jiang's flying vehicle was on a mission last time, it was attacked by a powerful demon and was severely damaged. We don't have enough points to repair it, and we don't want to replace it, so we're just making do with it as it is."
Upon hearing this, Li Fangnan pursed her lips, trying not to laugh.
Jiang Peng, clearly a seasoned veteran, showed no embarrassment whatsoever. "Old Wang, let's not talk about things that aren't relevant. Have you discussed the seating arrangement with them?"
"Yes, I've already spoken to Qin Sheng about it."
Jiang Peng nodded. "Xiao Weiqing, you two should sit down too. Take good care of Wei Lan later."
Xiao Weiqing looked at Jiang Peng with a puzzled expression, but still agreed, "Okay."
Jiang Peng and Wang Fu left.
