98: Chapter 98 An Extravagant Reward!!

Everyone's energy was mainly focused on increasing their strength, with no time to waste on speed.

Furthermore, achieving a significant increase in speed required a lot of time.

For geniuses like them, the cost-effectiveness was not high.

The input-output ratio was inferior to directly improving one's realm and techniques.

“The school's main purpose in arranging this shouldn't be to make us speed-specialized martial artists.”

“Instead, they want to use this high-intensity training.”

“To quickly improve our real combat adaptability and make up for our minor shortcomings.”

Qin Yan quickly formed a clear judgment in his heart.

Subsequently, he turned his gaze toward the introduction of the “Secret Realm Tower.”

[Secret Realm Tower: A mysterious ancient tower unearthed from the ruins of an ancient civilization.]

[The tower is divided into ninety-nine floors, with its own internal space, which is extraordinarily profound.]

[On each floor of the tower, there are Combat Puppets formed by condensed energy of varying strengths.]

[Only by defeating the guardian puppet can one enter the next floor.]

[Floor Level Strength Reference:]

[First Floor — tenth floor: Energy puppet strength corresponds to a First Grade Martial Artist.]

[Eleventh Floor — Twentieth Floor: Energy puppet strength corresponds to a Second-Rank Martial Artist.]

[Twenty-first Floor — Thirtieth Floor: Energy puppet strength corresponds to a Third-Rank Martial Artist.]

[...]

[Ninety-first Floor — Ninety-ninth Floor: Energy puppet strength corresponds to a Ninth Grade Martial Artist.]

[Main Functions]: Provides a near-realistic life-and-death combat experience, tempers the practical application of martial arts techniques, and accumulates combat experience against 'opponents' of different styles.

Hones the will and tests comprehensive combat power.

“This Secret Realm Tower... is a bit mysterious.”

Qin Yan murmured softly, his eyes filled with shock and curiosity.

According to this introduction, if one could break through to above the ninetieth floor.

They would have to face energy puppets with the strength of a Ninth Grade Martial Artist.

Just how powerful must the entity that owned this tower be?

And for Modu University of Martial Arts to be able to obtain and control such an ancient tower.

Its foundation could be seen from this alone.

“Good grief, is this Secret Realm Tower a Divine Weapon?”

Lu Youyou finished reading the detailed introduction about the Secret Realm Tower and exclaimed in a lowered voice.

Being able to contain its own space and simulate ninety-nine floors of different combat environments.

And with energy puppets of precisely corresponding strength guarding each floor...

This tower had already exceeded the scope of an ordinary building.

It was more like the legendary Martial Dao Divine Weapons that possessed immense power!

“Hehe, Wangshu, do you know any more inside information about this Secret Realm Tower?”

Lu Youyou’s curiosity was overflowing. She immediately leaned toward Xiao Wangshu and nudged her gently with her arm.

Her large eyes blinked, filled with a desire for knowledge.

Hearing this, Qin Yan, who was nearby, couldn't help but prick up his ears as well.

Xiao Wangshu was the biological granddaughter of the Dean of the Second Academy.

She likely had access to some school secrets that ordinary students couldn't know.

Being watched by the two of them, Xiao Wangshu’s cold face still showed no expression.

After pondering for a moment, she spoke: “Regarding the specific origin and grade of this tower, I don't know much either.”

“I only heard my grandfather mention it by chance. This Secret Realm Tower was found by the previous old principal of Modu University of Martial Arts.”

“He discovered it years ago in the ruins of an ancient sect called the ‘Five Elements Sect’.”

“It is said that when it was found, it stood in the center of the ruins, immortal through the ages.”

“The strangest thing is that since it was brought back to Modu University, countless powerful individuals have tried.”

“Yet no one has ever truly been able to 'subdue' it or fully control it.”

After saying these few sentences, she closed her mouth and returned to her cold and taciturn manner.

“Ah? That's... that's it?”

Lu Youyou was clearly unsatisfied with this brief answer.

“Yes, that's it.” Xiao Wangshu nodded with certainty.

After Qin Yan finished listening, he captured a key piece of information from this brief description.

This tower was extremely extraordinary!

Even the top experts of Modu University of Martial Arts throughout the generations were unable to subdue it.

Its origin and level were likely far beyond everyone's imagination.

This realization filled Qin Yan with a strong curiosity and desire to explore this mysterious giant tower.

“After class is over, I must go and experience for myself what kind of miraculous place this Secret Realm Tower is!”

Subsequently, he clicked on the detailed notification for the class [October Training Plan] he had just received.

His gaze first fell upon the reward description for “Mechanism Alley”:

[Mechanism Alley Training Reward (First-time achievement reward)]:

[Endure for ten minutes, reward 1 academic credit]

[Endure for twenty minutes, reward 2 academic credits]

[Endure for thirty minutes, reward 3 academic credits]

[...]

[Endure for one hundred minutes, reward 10 academic credits]

(Note: The above rewards are one-time achievement rewards and cannot be claimed repeatedly.)

“This...” Looking at the reward list on the light screen, Qin Yan was once again shocked by Modu University of Martial Arts's generosity.

“This is practically giving away points! Not only do they provide a free venue to train our weaknesses, but they also pay us such a huge amount of academic credits!”

He did a rough calculation. If someone could endure for one hundred minutes in one go.

The cumulative academic credits obtained would reach a staggering 45 academic credits!

This wealth, even for the current him who was “raking in money daily.”

After deducting his own consumption, he would still need to work hard refining pills for nearly ten days to save up that much!

Next, his gaze moved down to the rewards for clearing the [Secret Realm Tower]:

[Secret Realm Tower Clearing Rewards]:

[Pass the first floor, reward 2 academic credits]

[Pass the second floor, reward 4 academic credits]

[Pass the third floor, reward 6 academic credits]

[...]

[Pass the tenth floor, reward 20 academic credits]

[...]

(Note: Rewards accumulate floor by floor, with no upper limit. Distributed upon the first time each floor is passed.)

[Additional Reward: End-of-month comprehensive academic credit ranking]

[First Place: Reward 50 academic credits]

[Second Place: Reward 45 academic credits]

[Third Place: Reward 40 academic credits]

[...]

[Tenth Place: Reward 5 academic credits]

After reading this series of dazzling reward measures.

Qin Yan’s only feeling was—Modu University has simply gone “crazy” for the year-end Exchange Competition!

With such a massive amount of academic credits being thrown around, it was enough to make any student's cultivation speed skyrocket!

The other Classmates in the classroom, after carefully reading the training plan and the reward details.

Couldn't help but let out a burst of suppressed exclamations and discussions.

Originally, some people were worried that although the benefits of the Key Class were good, the academic credits might not be enough to support high-speed cultivation.

Now it seemed that such worry was completely unnecessary.

As long as they had enough strength and perseverance to complete these training goals.

The academic credits they obtained would be enough for them to exchange for those eye-watering rare resources on the list!
