75: Chapter 75 Training

Returning to the Training Center training room, Lin Yan began changing his equipment.

As the final piece of equipment was put on, his attribute panel changed immediately.

His physical attack power increased significantly, his health points grew in tandem, and the set effect of the tyrant set was activated.

Feeling the power surging within his body, Lin Yan clenched his fist slightly, causing the air to emit a faint sonic boom.

The improvement was clear, but it was still a little short of a true qualitative change.

His gaze fell upon the two skill books beside him; one had been proactively gifted by the Jiang Family, and the other was one he had requested.

【Obtained Passive Skill Book: Rage of the Barbarian King】

【Quality: Purple Epic】

【Effect: Attacking enemies or being attacked grants 'Rage'. Each stack of 'Rage' increases damage and damage reduction by 1%, up to a maximum of 50 stacks.】

---

【Obtained Active Skill Book: Blood Qi Perception】

【Quality: Blue Rare】

【Learning Conditions: Level > 15, Constitution ≥ 60】

After reading the descriptions, a hint of satisfaction flashed in Lin Yan's eyes. Rage of the Barbarian King was simple and brutal, fitting him perfectly, and Blood Qi Perception could make up for his weaknesses in detection.

The next moment, the two skill books turned into points of light and merged into his body, with a vast amount of information instantly flooding his mind.

Lin Yan slowly opened his eyes. The Blood Qi within his body began to circulate along new paths, and a more formidable power slowly awakened.

【Hex: None】

Looking at his panel, Lin Yan clenched his fist. He began to familiarize himself with his new abilities in the training room, preparing for the upcoming selection tournament.

Beep— The communicator suddenly vibrated. Lin Yan looked down and saw a message from Jiang Ruoxue.

【Training?】

Seeing these three words, Lin Yan replied casually.

【Already here.】

… A few minutes later, Jiang Ruoxue arrived at the Training Center.

Her white training uniform outlined her slender figure, and her long hair was tied into a ponytail, making her look capable and sharp.

Seeing Lin Yan's figure, Jiang Ruoxue's eyes lit up slightly.

"You're here?"

"Mm."

"Let's begin."

Lin Yan didn't waste any words and walked directly to the center of the training ground.

Jiang Ruoxue: "..."

For some reason, she suddenly felt a sense of helplessness.

This guy really didn't understand the atmosphere at all, but thinking back to what happened in the restaurant a while ago, a smile still involuntarily curled at the corners of her mouth, and she quickly followed him.

Boom! The training officially began; blade light flashed, and Blood Qi collided.

The two figures constantly intertwined. Jiang Ruoxue launched attacks time and again, yet they were always precisely neutralized by Lin Yan.

There were no flashy maneuvers, nor any showing off of strength; it was as if everything was simply the most rational choice.

Two hours later, the training ended, and the two sat in the rest area.

After two consecutive hours of high-intensity combat, even Jiang Ruoxue had a fine layer of sweat on her forehead.

She picked up two bottles of water from the side, kept one for herself, and tossed the other to Lin Yan quite naturally.

"Catch."

Lin Yan raised his hand to catch it, unscrewed the cap, and took a sip.

The action was so practiced that it felt like it had been repeated many times. Jiang Ruoxue suddenly realized that she didn't know when it started, but it seemed they had developed a certain tacit understanding.

Training. Sparring. Summarizing. Then sitting here together to rest, just like today.

Thinking of this, she suddenly asked: "Do you do anything else every day besides training?"

Lin Yan thought for a moment.

"Reviewing Dungeon materials."

"Nothing else?"

"Nothing else."

Jiang Ruoxue was silent. After a few seconds, she couldn't help but laugh.

"Is your life only about getting stronger?"

Lin Yan thought about it seriously, then nodded.

"Currently, yes."

Jiang Ruoxue: "..."

She suddenly felt that if anyone ever fell for this guy, it would definitely be very hard.

The training ended, and the two walked out together. Passing by a restaurant, Jiang Ruoxue suddenly asked: "What should we eat tonight?"

Lin Yan replied casually: "Anything is fine."

"Then I'll decide?"

"Mm."

"Aren't you afraid I'll take you to eat something that tastes bad?"

Lin Yan glanced at her.

"No."

"Why?"

"You have to eat it too."

Jiang Ruoxue was stunned for a moment, then laughed.

"That makes sense."

… On the other side, in the Jiang Family conference room, several elders were holding a meeting.

"How is it going recently?" an elder asked.

Jiang Haichao, Head of the Jiang Family flipped through the documents.

"Progress is good."

The group immediately perked up.

"What stage has it reached?"

"They meet frequently."

"Together every day!?"

The elders' eyes grew brighter and brighter. But the next second, Jiang Haichao, Head of the Jiang Family added: "They train for eight hours a day."

The conference room suddenly went quiet, and everyone looked at each other. After a long while, someone couldn't help but cover their forehead. Eight hours of training a day? What exactly are these two young people doing? Are they even young people!?

… At night, Lin Yan returned to his apartment, the room completely silent. In his storage space, he re-checked everything to ensure nothing was missing.

Then, a new Federation announcement popped up.

【Time until the special Dungeon for the selection tournament opens】

【23:59:59】

The bright red countdown ticked slowly; Lin Yan watched the light screen quietly. A moment later, he reached out and closed it. Outside the window, the lights were brilliant, and the entire Seventh Safe Zone was shrouded in excitement and anticipation.

And he knew that starting tomorrow, he would stand on the stage of the entire Federation's younger generation for the first time, competing on the same stage with top geniuses from all major Safe Zones.

This night, countless people were unable to sleep. And the prelude to the Global Genius Training Camp finally slowly began.
