49: Obtain the third-level martial arts skill Wind God Step and precious black crystal boxing gloves!
Principal's Office.
Su Jun was pressed onto the sofa by Zhao Song, who even personally brewed tea for Su Jun.
Zhao Song had been the principal of Sixth High School for some years now.
Su Jun was definitely the first student he treated with such high regard.
"Principal, what is the welfare you're arranging for me?"
After taking a sip of tea, Su Jun eagerly asked.
"One of the benefits is a Quasi-Tier 3 Martial Skill!"
Zhao Song rubbed his hands and grinned.
After saying this.
Even Zhao Song, an Advanced Martial Grandmaster.
Looked at Su Jun with a hint of envy.
"What?
A Quasi-Tier 3 Martial Skill?"
Su Jun was astonished upon hearing Zhao Song's words.
The value of a Quasi-Tier 3 Martial Skill was around nine digits.
It was even priceless.
Some large clans in Kaizhou City, after centuries of inheritance and bitter searching, could only obtain a single Quasi-Tier 3 Martial Skill.
Yet, he had done nothing and easily obtained a Quasi-Tier 3 Martial Skill?
This huge surprise directly stunned Su Jun!
"Principal, are you sure you're not tricking me?"
After his initial shock, a hint of suspicion appeared in Su Jun's eyes.
After all, a Quasi-Tier 3 Martial Skill was too precious.
"Hey, you little brat, how dare you question me?
My words are as good as gold, how could I possibly trick you?"
Zhao Song feigned anger and glared at Su Jun.
Then, he carefully took out an ancient book from his storage ring.
The moment the ancient book appeared.
Su Jun smelled a faint fragrance.
At the same time, he could tell that the paper used to make the ancient book was distinctly different from the paper of the Benlei Fist ancient book.
Under the sunlight, it emitted a peculiar glow.
Su Jun's eyes were burning.
He had learned about martial skills.
The higher the level of the martial skill.
The more precious the paper needed for its creation.
Otherwise, the essence of the martial skill could not be properly recorded.
Su Jun carefully picked up the ancient book.
On it were three vigorous and powerful characters.
Wind God Step!
Huh?
Is this a movement martial skill?
Su Jun's heart pounded with excitement.
He had previously been planning how to acquire a movement or speed-oriented martial skill.
And now it just appeared?
It was truly like wanting to doze off.
And someone brought a pillow!
"Su Jun, how is it? I didn't lie to you, did I?"
Seeing Su Jun's surprised expression, Zhao Song couldn't help but raise his chin and say proudly.
"Principal, you're the best!"
Su Jun gave Zhao Song a thumbs-up.
He quickly put away the Wind God Step and continued to ask, "Principal, this Quasi-Tier 3 Martial Skill is one of the benefits.
Are there other benefits?"
After speaking.
Su Jun showed an expectant gaze.
He guessed that the other benefits would definitely not be worse than this Quasi-Tier 3 Martial Skill, and perhaps even better.
"It's a weapon!
General Luo Chen said he could give you an A-grade weapon!"
When Zhao Song said this, he once again looked at Su Jun with envy.
To think that Zhao Song had fought for many years and earned many merits.
In the end, he only obtained an A-grade Lingyun Spear.
Yet Su Jun hadn't done anything major, and he could obtain an A-grade weapon?
It truly made one envious, jealous, and hateful...
"What?
There's also an A-grade weapon reward?"
Su Jun was startled again.
Weapons started at D-grade.
In ascending order were C-grade, B-grade, A-grade, and the currently known highest S-grade.
Many large clans in Jianglin Base had their best weapons at only A-grade.
As for S-grade weapons?
Only high-ranking officials of the Great Xia Country and large clans with deep foundations possessed them.
He had done nothing again and received an A-grade weapon?
This made Su Jun feel like he was dreaming.
"Huh?
Principal, you just mentioned General Luo Chen?"
"That's right, I can tell General Luo Chen thinks highly of you.
Don't disappoint him in the Wu Exam five days from now."
Zhao Song patted Su Jun's shoulder, his face full of anticipation.
To be valued by the top person in Jianglin Base, Su Jun's future was boundless!
Su Jun nodded heavily.
General Luo Chen could be said to be the idol of many people in Jianglin Base.
It was rumored that he came from humble beginnings.
But he stubbornly relied on his own strength to become a General step by step, becoming the top person in Jianglin Base!
"Su Jun, what kind of A-grade weapon do you want?
Swords, sabers, staffs, or axes, halberds, hooks, forks...?"
Zhao Song opened his computer, and various A-grade weapons appeared on the screen.
A-grade Qingyang Sword, crafted from precious green crystals found deep in the mountains...
A-grade Chiyan Saber, forged by placing Chiyan crystals in intense fire for forty-nine days...
A-Grade Black Crystal Gauntlets, crafted by crushing deep-sea black crystals and combining them with eighty-one other precious metals...
Gauntlets!
Su Jun had made his choice.
"Principal, I choose the A-Grade Black Crystal Gauntlets!"
"Gauntlets? You're quite peculiar.
Others like sabers and swords, but you pick gauntlets?"
Zhao Song was surprised by Su Jun's choice.
But then he changed the subject.
"It seems Su Jun, you have quite a fate with General Luo Chen.
I remember his weapon is also gauntlets!"
Luo Chen's weapon was S-grade gauntlets.
It was rumored to have been obtained from a Space Rift or a Ruin.
With the Great Xia Country's current technology, they could only craft up to A-grade weapons.
S-grade weapons either came from Space Rifts or mysterious Ruins.
Zhao Song asked Su Jun to wait a moment in the office.
He went to the room specifically for transferring items, opened a video call, and first spoke with Luo Chen.
Luo Chen was still wearing a straw hat, standing in an open mountain forest.
At his feet lay a slain Level 4 Exotic Beast, a Barren Python.
This python was a full hundred meters long.
"Brother Zhao, has he made his choice?"
"Indeed, Su Jun truly has a fate with General Luo.
He chose the A-Grade Black Crystal Gauntlets!"
Upon hearing this.
The corner of Luo Chen's mouth, beneath his straw hat, couldn't help but curve upwards.
"I'm becoming more and more interested in this Su Jun..."
Ten minutes later.
Zhao Song returned, and compared to when he left, he now held a pair of gauntlets.
Although the gauntlets were primarily black.
Under the sunlight, they reflected a few glints of light.
Su Jun put on the black crystal gauntlets.
He felt as if he had become one with the gauntlets.
As if these black crystal gauntlets were a part of his own body.
This feeling was far beyond what the B-grade purple crystal gauntlets Gu Yue had given him could offer.
"Principal, I'd like to ask, has there been any anomaly inside the Ruins?"
"Anomaly?"
Zhao Song was startled, not understanding why.
Su Jun then recounted the news of encountering the military blockade deep within the Ruins.
"Could something have happened?"
At this moment.
Zhao Song received a message, and upon seeing its content, he was somewhat surprised.
"Starting tomorrow, the time students can enter the Ruins will be limited to two hours.
And they are not allowed to enter the deep parts of the Ruins."
When Zhao Song showed the message to Su Jun, Su Jun was visibly stunned.
It seemed that an unexpected change had indeed occurred deep within the Ruins.
"Principal, I want to train well in the Ruins to get a good score for Sixth High School in the Wu Exam.
Could you talk to the higher-ups about extending this training time?"
Su Jun needed to kill enough exotic beasts to gain Lifespan in order to quickly increase his vital energy and master the Wind God Step.
And thus, add points!
In fact.
Besides vital energy and the Wind God Step.
Su Jun also needed to add points to the Great Strength Wild Bull Skill to enhance his physical strength!
Just two hours of open time in the Ruins was far from enough for him.
