6: Wishing them a pleasant recovery

What do you mean, 'what to do' my foot!

Duan Tiancheng threw his head back and laughed wildly.

We're taking off!!

"Good! Good!"

"Principal."

"My talent is...?"

Lin Yan watched the figure jumping around in front of him and asked.

"Supreme!"

"A Supreme Talent!"

Duan Tiancheng rubbed his hands excitedly.

Supreme Talent?

Is there even such a Rank?

Lin Yan raised an eyebrow.

The talent stone had shattered, so he would just take the principal's word for it for now.

No wonder his spiritual energy affinity felt ridiculously high when the System activated.

Anyway, as a cheater...

Talent was something that just needed to be 'good enough'.

"Principal, about my monthly exam reward..."

It was about time to head back.

He had been thinking about that spirit weapon the whole time.

Duan Tiancheng took a few deep breaths.

"Mm."

He walked quickly to his desk, operating something while speaking.

"Your current cultivation is Rank One, Sixth Layer, right?"

Lin Yan nodded.

"Yes."

"I've arranged the permissions for the villa and the school's Martial Arts Technique Building for you. You'll get a notification on your bracelet shortly."

Duan Tiancheng looked up.

"Do you want to transfer classes?"

Lin Yan shook his head.

"class sixteen is fine."

Duan Tiancheng nodded, reached out to open a coded safe on the side, took out two boxes, and handed them over.

"I wanted to give you something even better, but I don't have much myself."

"One is the monthly exam reward, and the other is a personal gift from me."

"Even though your talent came late, it doesn't matter."

"Hurry up and Cultivate; I believe you will catch up quickly!"

"Don't feel too much pressure regarding the Freshman Grand Competition."

"Just treat it as a learning experience for now."

Lin Yan took them.

"Thank you, Principal!"

"Then I'll be going."

Look at this kid, so polite.

Duan Tiancheng watched Lin Yan's departing back, becoming more satisfied the more he looked.

He's even handsome.

It would be even better if he could go a bit easier when fighting.

Thinking of this...

His expression froze, and he suddenly felt a bit of a headache.

"It looks like tomorrow's exchange won't be happening..."

Eh?

Lin Yan, who had just stepped out the door, heard this murmur and paused his steps.

"Principal, what exchange?"

Duan Tiancheng looked at the head poking back through the door and waved his hand.

"It's nothing."

"I was originally planning to take Yu Jiao and the others to several first-class universities in Magic City for an exchange before the Grand Competition starts."

"Now that you've beaten everyone down, they definitely won't be better by tomorrow."

Lin Yan's eyes lit up.

First-class universities?

Like those 'dojo challenges' in novels?

"Take me, I'll go!"

He had already received a notification from the System when the battle ended.

[As a powerful individual, one should naturally show their edge. After the Host produced shocking punch force data and dominated the school with overbearing force, the event has been comprehensively judged with a domineering index of three stars, earning a 60% charge value.]

Although he didn't quite understand what three stars meant...

He understood the 60% value.

Since sweeping through one school gave him this much...

Then doing it again—is there even a need to think about it?

This was definitely a great opportunity.

As for Yuan Cheng and the others?

He wished them a pleasant recovery in the Infirmary.

Duan Tiancheng pointed at the two boxes in his hand and laughed mockingly.

"What do you think I gave those to you for?"

"It's just an exchange; if we don't go, we don't go."

"I just said that Cultivating well is the most important thing for you right now."

"Your cultivation is still too low."

Lin Yan's face instantly became serious.

"Principal."

"I believe your thinking is incorrect."

"Such a good opportunity to both train myself and win glory for the school..."

"...should not be missed."

...Infirmary.

"Ugh... hiss..."

Yuan Hua slowly woke up, opening his eyes to see a ceiling filled with constant double-images.

His head hurt so much!

"Student, you're awake?"

Yuan Hua turned his head with difficulty, looking at the woman speaking beside him.

"Now that you're awake, hurry up and adjust. Yours is just a mild concussion."

"Over there, there's not just one severe concussion, but several people in deep comas."

"Move over a bit."

His gaze moved in the direction the woman pointed, and his vision focused.

A tall youth with a bleeding head.

Several familiar faces with sunken chests.

All of them were in tattered clothes, eyes tightly shut, faces deathly pale.

"Honestly."

"What is the situation with this monthly exam?"

"This is an Infirmary, not a hospital."

"Everyone came running here."

"They were all beaten by that Lin Yan from class sixteen."

"You weren't there."

"I just arrived; the scene was extremely brutal. One elbow for each person."

"Supposedly, he's a Genius who had a Post-Heaven Awakening."

"Did you see that golden glow just now? That was emitted by his talent."

Yuan Hua stiffly turned his head back, staring at the ceiling with a blank expression.

Why was he having visual and auditory hallucinations?

"Tea...cher..."

"Can you check me again?"

"I think I might have more than just a mild concussion."

...Magic City.

On the rooftop of a building full of high-tech vibes.

Several men dressed in black combat suits with black plaques hanging from their waists stood silently.

"Old Duan just sent word."

"A freak comparable to Gu Chen has appeared in his school."

"He needs us to report it to the state and help handle things at the same time."

"Really?"

"What kind of dumb luck did that old fellow stumble into?"

"Post-Heaven Awakening?"

"It should be a Post-Heaven Awakening."

"He was very normal for the first few months after enrollment, then suddenly revealed it during this monthly exam."

"That Gu Chen has already been scouted by the Imperial Capital Branch; we can't let this kid go."

"Mo Fan."

"Go and check this kid's information."

A youth who looked slightly lazy replied.

"No problem."

...The student treatment at Haotian University was very good.

Even those losers in class sixteen lived in single rooms.

Only the Prodigy Villa required various qualifications.

Prodigy Villa Number One.

This house, which symbolized the status of Haotian's strongest Prodigy, finally welcomed its owner today.

Lin Yan scanned the large characters at the entrance and stepped forward.

The principal is really not bad.

Even the credit points were waived.

As expected, if you have talent and strength, you have to display them directly.

Facial recognition scan complete, he walked into the living room.

Lin Yan casually tossed his backpack onto the sofa, glanced around, and walked straight to the cultivation room.

First, let me see what kind of good stuff this is.

He opened the two boxes.

Instantly, a dense wave of spiritual energy rushed toward him, as if it were about to fill the entire space.

The first thing to catch his eye was a Spiritual Plant emitting a powerful aura.

It was as crystal clear as emerald, with every leaf shining with a strange light.

The other was a deep-red, translucent fruit that sparkled like a gemstone and emitted an enticing fragrance.

Whoa.

Lin Yan raised an eyebrow.

This old man is actually quite generous!

The Spiritual Plant went without saying—the reward for first place in the monthly exam, a Rank Two Spirit Medicine.

Even if he hadn't seen one before, he had heard of them.

What truly made him marvel was that fruit.

A Rank Four Spirit Fruit!

Spirit fruits of this level were not common.

Each one could be sold for a high price outside.

In any case, the current Lin Yan, who only had a few thousand Dragon Coins on him, definitely couldn't afford it.

This kind of thing probably only appears in an earth extreme Yao Beast Secret Realm, right?

Lin Yan rubbed his chin.

No wonder the old man said he definitely wouldn't be free for the next few days.

To completely absorb these two items and convert them into strength was indeed not something that could be done in a short time.

But was he an ordinary person?

"System."

"Identify absorption consumption values."

"Ding."

"Detected one Rank Two Spirit Medicine and one Rank Four Spirit Fruit."

"Full absorption requires 60% of the overbearing charge value. Under the Tyrant Body bonus, the cultivation is expected to increase by two layers."
