82: Must it be stopped?!

Xia Qi was stunned, looking at Luo Zisheng, somewhat speechless.

If you want to say this world is big, its territory is much larger than the previous world.

But the world is so vast, how is it that everyone he meets has intricate connections?

"What's wrong? You're not Teacher Xia's relative or something, are you? I think you look a bit like him."

Luo Zisheng didn't know that she had inadvertently blurted out the truth.

"Oh, by the way, junior, I still don't know your name."

Xia Qi showed a bitter smile, "My name is Xia Qi. If there's nothing else, I'll be leaving now."

Xia Qi?

Teacher Xia Dongliu.

Watching Xia Qi's departing back, Luo Zisheng covered her mouth with an incredulous expression.

"No way, this Xia Qi is Teacher Xia's..."

Dorm 808.

Back in his dorm, Xia Qi silently sighed.

Within a single day, he had accepted a bit too much, and his mood was far from cheerful.

"Mom and Dad, oh no, Uncle and Aunt went to the Void Battlefield, and my dad, Xia Yuan, also went to the Void Battlefield. So I'm the only one left alone in Shengjing."

"No, there's no mention of my mom in this letter, and my dad couldn't have been a live-in War God or something, could he? Otherwise, why would he also be named Xia..."

It's a tangled mess, impossible to sort out.

The more Xia Qi thought about it, the more annoyed he felt.

A mother never mentioned, a father who disappeared eighteen years ago, and adoptive parents he finally managed to get into Shengjing University to see, but couldn't.

You've got to be kidding me, are you playing with me?

This feeling is like knowing that he might have a top-tier wealthy family behind him, but everyone has had an accident, and ultimately, he still has to rely on his own efforts.

Want to lie flat and be a second-generation rich kid?

That's not happening.

It seems the only way to understand his background is the Void Battlefield.

Thinking of this, Xia Qi was too lazy to think further; he had a bit of a headache.

The Void Battlefield and such were still too far away for him right now.

Even if he knew all this, he wouldn't have the ability to go there.

"Strength, ah, strength!"

For now, improving his own strength was more important.

"Let's use today's enhancement chances first."

Thinking of this, Xia Qi closed his eyes and began to enhance the talents he currently possessed.

"Ding! Enhancing S-Grade Rapid Learning. Obtained S-Grade Rapid Learning (9/10)."

"Ding! Enhancing S-Grade Rapid Learning. Obtained SS-Rank Heaven-Defying Comprehension Ability (0/100)."

"Ding! Enhancing A-grade Earth Element. Obtained S-Grade Heart of the Earth (0/10)."

"Ding! Enhancing A-grade Water Element. Obtained S-Grade Heart of the Ocean (0/10)."

The attribute panel opened.

"Strength: 500"

"Agility: 500"

"Intelligence: 500"

"Talents: Congenital Double Pupils (Lv3)"

"A-grade Positioning, A-grade Detection Shield, A-grade Gold Element, A-grade Wood Element, A-grade Great Strength Increase, A-grade Agility as Wind, A-grade Physique Enhancement, A-grade Intelligence Boost... +13"

"B-grade Energy Limit, B-grade Stamina Limit, B-grade Space Expansion... +99"

"Active Skills: Frenzy Lightning (Level 5), Nine Heavens Thunderclap (Level 5), Storm Surge (Level 5), Lightning Flash, Adhesion, Fire Sea (Level 5), Flame Dance, Illusionary Sword (Level 5), Earth Tremor (Level 5), Water Over Golden Mountain (Level 5)"

"Passive Skills: Energy Reduction."

"Nine Heavens Thunderclap: Ten directions of thunder descend, annihilating everything within a hundred-meter radius."

"Fire Sea: Burning the sky and destroying the earth, incinerating all things; Fire Sea covers a hundred-meter radius."

"Storm Surge: A sudden fierce wind, a raging storm; Storm Surge covers a hundred-meter radius."

"Illusionary Sword: Is a sword yet not a sword; energy condenses into a sword body, boosted by the Sword Breaks Mountains and Rivers effect, with an attack range of one hundred meters."

"Earth Tremor: The earth tears apart, mountains collapse; the earthquake's vibration range is one hundred meters."

"Water Over Golden Mountain: Tides surge, floods rage; the flood covers a hundred-meter radius."

After the enhancements, Xia Qi was still very satisfied.

He currently possessed five S-Rank elemental talents: Water, Fire, Earth, Wind, and Thunder.

Adding the two A-Rank elemental talents, Gold and Wood, he had a total of seven elemental talents.

These were also the more common elemental talents currently.

Besides these, there should be other types of elemental talents, but due to their rarity, Xia Qi had not encountered them yet.

"With seven elemental talents all enhanced to SS-Rank, there are almost no weaknesses," Xia Qi thought, analyzing.

If the next dungeons he encountered had elemental counter issues, he could switch to any attribute for combat, which should be no problem.

However, due to the limited enhancement attempts, after raising the elemental talents to SS-Rank, Xia Qi planned to prioritize raising Luck and Comprehension Ability to SSS-Rank.

Even so, before his Congenital Double Pupils Rank could be further enhanced, it would take a full fifty days to raise these two talents to SSS-Rank.

"Earning money and earning points, so I'm destined to be a hard worker, huh?"

Xia Qi sighed. To put it plainly, he was still short on money.

"No, you guys, if you're going to leave, couldn't you at least leave me some money? I can't even be lazy."

Thinking of this, Xia Qi still had a lot of complaints.

Xia Dongliu and Xu Nian left, leaving a letter telling him about his background.

There was nothing wrong with that.

But, did they not consider whether Xia Qi was short on money?

Knowing that they might not return from the Void Battlefield, yet not leaving any assets for their beloved 'son' was really a bit unreasonable.

Xia Qi had reason to suspect that the affection of these past ten-odd years might have been watered down.

Otherwise, how could it be explained that powerful figures from Shengjing University didn't even leave Xia Qi a hundred yuan?

Alright.

Of course, there was another possibility: Xu Nian and Xia Dongliu left in too much of a hurry and forgot about this matter.

Xia Qi could understand.

But he absolutely could not accept it.

Harboring endless resentment, Xia Qi lay on his bed and drifted off to sleep.

"Xia Qi, this is a huge conspiracy... everything is a deception... everyone is in..."

"Time... space... Xia Qi... you must stop..."

In the dream, a blurry light figure was anxiously saying something, but the voice was intermittent and not entirely clear.

If one looked closely, they would find that the light figure's appearance was almost identical to Xia Qi's.

"What? What exactly are you saying? Speak clearly, hey?"

Xia Qi in the dream kept asking, but the light figure kept repeating.

"You must stop..."
