8: trade

Lu Qianyuan is very likely that variable, but I just don't know if there are other variables.

Thinking of this, Ye Yan gave up the idea of approaching him alone.

He ignored Lu Qianyuan and left the classroom directly.

Only when most of the people had left did Lu Qianyuan reluctantly raise his head.

As he expected, Ye Yan seemed to know a lot of things.

Although he was sleeping just now, his Spiritual Perception was always on, and he noticed that most of Ye Yan's attention was on him.

It seems there is something on him that is attracting the other party.

Based on his previous experiences and the memories of his predecessor, the only thing that could attract the other party was the Battle Spirit, Slayer of Shadows, that he obtained yesterday.

According to the predecessor's memories, Ye Yan was not from a wealthy family, but just an ordinary commoner with mediocre Aptitude.

His strength was average, always in the middle of the class, and he had no interactions with him.

Other than meeting once at the night market yesterday, there were no other interactions.

Suddenly paying such frequent attention to him was truly suspicious.

Lu Qianyuan stood up and stretched, then unhurriedly walked towards Field Number Three.

He didn't care about punishments; he wasn't going to accept them anyway.

He was here today to look at the skill pool within the class, no, to see what skills his dear classmates had.

Once he understood everything, he would return to his small room and improve his strength according to his plan.

As for the Grand Examination, he was too lazy to care. If he had a cheat, why would he follow the rules? That would be like not having a cheat at all.

Lu Qianyuan leisurely arrived at Field Number Three. At this time, all the students of Class Three were already lined up, with only four people singled out.

Lu Qianyuan leisurely arrived here and consciously went to stand beside the four people.

Luo Gang saw Lu Qianyuan arriving so slowly and looking indifferent, but he wasn't too angry.

There were some people he couldn't save, and he didn't want to save them.

"The five of you, after the test is complete, each of you will run five kilometers."

With that, Luo Gang looked at the crowd in front of him and then began to explain today's task.

Everyone's task today was very simple: to follow Luo Gang and learn a body-strengthening boxing technique and master it.

With that, Luo Gang began to demonstrate in front of everyone.

Luo Gang deliberately demonstrated slowly, just to let everyone see clearly.

However, the key was still to make the Origin Qi within the Spirit Master's body flow throughout their entire body along with his movements, achieving the effect of strengthening the body and enhancing physical toughness.

This was an advanced version of a basic boxing technique they had learned before, with better effects but also greater learning difficulty.

Lu Qianyuan only watched it once and memorized it.

If needed, he wouldn't even need to watch; he could just use Spiritual Perception.

Using his eyes was just for show, to avoid trouble.

Meanwhile, Ye Yan also successfully mastered this boxing technique.

He was too familiar with this boxing technique; in his previous life, he didn't know how many times he had practiced it, and he had long since memorized it by heart.

Now, he didn't need to learn it; he could master it perfectly.

However, for safety's sake, he didn't draw too much attention to himself, just acting as usual, appearing unremarkable.

Before long, Luo Gang finished his demonstration.

"You all practice on your own first. If you don't understand anything, come and ask me."

Upon hearing this, Lu Qianyuan prepared to leave the training ground.

He was there to look at his skill pool, but now that there was no opportunity to look at the skills in the skill pool, there was no point in staying.

It would be better to just leave and continue to improve according to his plan.

However, just as he was about to leave, Ye Yan on the other side found himself in a dilemma.

If he stopped Lu Qianyuan, it might make Lu Qianyuan realize something was wrong.

If he gave up, then getting information about the Slayer of Shadows from Lu Qianyuan would probably not be a simple matter.

After a moment of thought, Ye Yan still stopped Lu Qianyuan.

Regardless of Lu Qianyuan's situation, he needed to get information about the Slayer of Shadows from him.

Moreover, his actions last night should have also made Lu Qianyuan suspicious.

Continuing to hide it had little meaning; it was better to act decisively.

The main reason was that Lu Qianyuan was preparing to skip class, and if he ran off, he wouldn't know where to find him.

If something unexpected happened, his Slayer of Shadows would be for naught.

"Classmate Lu Qianyuan, I want to discuss a deal with you."

Ye Yan came in front of Lu Qianyuan, blocking his path.

"That Gray Battle Spirit from last night, name your price."

"I have already undergone Fusion; I cannot sell it to you."

Lu Qianyuan said slowly after a moment of thought.

"Really?"

Ye Yan looked into Lu Qianyuan's eyes, trying to find a hint of a lie.

Unfortunately, he couldn't see through Lu Qianyuan's heart; no matter how he looked, he could only see calmness, even a dead calm.

"Believe it or not."

"Stop pretending. You and I both know that Battle Spirit is not simple. Why bother acting here?"

"What do you know?"

Lu Qianyuan asked directly.

"A little bit, information about that Battle Spirit."

"If that's the case, then you should know that it's also very possible for me to absorb that Battle Spirit."

"While I'd like to believe that, I'm sorry, with your current strength, trying to absorb that Spirit is very difficult, almost impossible."

"You guessed right, I haven't undergone Fusion with that Spirit."

Lu Qianyuan didn't hide it and directly admitted this point.

"But even if I haven't undergone Fusion, why should I make a deal with you?"

Hearing this, Ye Yan revealed a confident smile, then held up three fingers.

"The reason is simple. First, you don't know the effect of that Battle Spirit. Absorbing this Battle Spirit is completely taking an unknown risk."

"Second, with your current strength, absorbing that Battle Spirit is very difficult and risky. If things go wrong, there might be a risk of death."

"Third, the Grand Examination is in three months. You must find a suitable Natal Battle Spirit within three months. You don't have time to prepare."

Lu Qianyuan looked at Ye Yan with disdain.

"Although everything you said makes sense, even if I don't use it, there's no need for me to give it to you, right?"

"Moreover, from your words just now, I can confirm that you attach great importance to that Battle Spirit. Without a doubt, that Battle Spirit is very important to you."

"People will not shortchange themselves. A Battle Spirit that can catch your eye certainly won't be bad."

"Even if I can't use it temporarily, can't I wait? Although the Grand Examination is important, failing it doesn't mean cutting off the hope of becoming a strong person."

Lu Qianyuan calmly retorted.

"I can offer a price that will tempt you."

Ye Yan said confidently, a confidence stemming from his strength in his previous life.

"For example?"

Lu Qianyuan pressed.

"Classmate Lu Qianyuan's Aptitude should be very poor, right? It's a pity that things that can improve Aptitude are not something we at this level can access."

"Are you saying..."
