Chapter 174

Li Yao had obtained the full 64, 00 points in the Trial Cube.

Adding the 100, 00 here, that made 164, 00.

This amount of points was already a very large sum; many old Some Jingyu students might not even have as many as him.

"The second reward is the prize for first place in the battle for the top spot."

"An SS-grade skill badge, as well as a full set of permanent attribute potions that a Second-Turn class holder can use."

It really was a skill badge!

Li Yao was overjoyed.

This thing was a good item! His first summon was exchanged through this, although that time it was an A-grade badge.

At this moment, Xue Xue Jiulan suddenly leaned over to Li Yao and said sneakily:

"Don't use this badge for now. I checked for you on the Star Net; there are no good SS-grade skills available right now. Next week, a passive skill book will be listed. I'll tell you then, and you go exchange for it immediately!"

Li Yao was stunned.

Isn't this just insider manipulation?

Wait!

Passive skill?

"Thank you, Senior Xue. When the time comes, please be sure to remind me."

Having cleared so many dungeons, Li Yao had only dropped two passive skills, both of which were extremely practical.

How could he complain about having too many?

"Easy, easy!"

Xue Xue Jiulan laughed and continued:

"Next is the final reward."

"You should have heard of the Dragon Kingdom's three great divine towers."

"The Tower of Heaven, the Tower of Masters, and the Tower of Death."

"The final reward is a quota to enter the Tower of Masters."

"Regarding the specific information about the Tower of Masters, you will naturally know when you arrive at Some Jingyu Martial Arts Academy, so I won't waste my breath."

"However, I can tell you that the entry quota for the Tower of Masters is very precious; there are only ten quotas a year, so before entering, make full preparations. It's best to enter after Level 30."

Xue Xue Jiulan gave such a warning, clearly attaching great importance to this quota.

"I understand."

As they talked, the two arrived at the array location.

A purple halo flashed, and broken streamers of light streaked before their eyes.

A few seconds later, their feet touched the ground again.

"After experiencing it a few times, it's still a bit uncomfortable."

Li Yao thought to himself.

The teleportation array was built on the mountainside of a high mountain next to Some Jingyu Martial Arts Academy.

Walking for ten minutes, they arrived at the main gate of Some Jingyu Martial Arts Academy.

A majestic plaque, tens of meters high and hundreds of meters wide, came into view.

Four glorious characters were engraved on the plaque.

"Some Jingyu Martial Arts Academy!"

Just from these four characters, Li Yao could sense an extraordinary momentum.

Or even,

danger?

Xue Xue Jiulan said: "This was inscribed by the old principal himself; it is both a gateway and a weapon."

"Even a Level 100 monster would have to pay a price if it wanted to break in."

She patted Li Yao's shoulder: "Let's go."

As they approached, Li Yao felt an aura land on him.

It was a bit like an appraisal spell, but not exactly the same.

It seemed his identity was verified, and the school gate beside the main gate slowly opened.

Logically speaking, it wasn't the start of the school term yet.

But walking in the academy, Li Yao could sense waves of energy one after another.

"This is the aura coming from the martial arts arena." Xue Xue Jiulan explained casually. "There are various testing instruments there, like damage-per-second calculation dummies, burst damage measuring devices, spirit steles, etc."

"These little things are quite interesting."

"I remember a captain created a DPS leaderboard; as long as you make the list at any turn-job stage, you can get a generous reward. If you're bored, you can go play around."

Li Yao nodded.

If there were rewards, it wouldn't hurt to go over when he had time.

Along the way, Xue Xue Jiulan introduced many buildings to Li Yao.

"That is the Dungeon Hall, which contains 107 dungeons recorded by Some Jingyu Martial Arts Academy, covering all types of dungeons from Second-Turn to Fifth-Turn."

"By the way,"

"at two o'clock this afternoon, a large-scale dungeon will open. If I recall correctly, besides the Bone-Crushing Insect Nest, you haven't been to any large-scale dungeons, right?"

Li Yao nodded.

"As long as your contribution is high enough, the rewards from large-scale dungeons far exceed those of small-scale ones. Want to try it?"

Xue Xue Jiulan said, taking out her phone to flip through it.

"There are no spots left, but there are a few connections who are just there to leech contributions. Should I kick one for you?"

"No problem."

"OK!"

Xue Xue Jiulan smiled with satisfaction.

What she didn't tell Li Yao was

that this large-scale dungeon didn't belong exclusively to Some Jingyu.

Besides Some Jingyu students, students from some top foreign academies would also participate.

Conflicts were absolutely inevitable!

If Li Yao went in, it would be stable!

Some Jingyu Martial Arts Academy was unexpectedly large, and the two walked for a long time before reaching their destination.

"This is the freshman living area."

"Just go find Room 1 and settle in."

"I'll leave you here. For the dungeon this afternoon, I'll send someone to pick you up; just go with her then. The dungeon is called 'Sorrowful Snow Mountain,' and I've already booked it for you."

"Thank you, Senior Xue."

"One week later, the Dean of the War Academy will return to Some Jingyu Martial Arts Academy; remember to pay a visit then."

"No problem, Senior Xue."

Li Yao chuckled. Senior Xue was still thinking of deceiving him; it had been so long, even if he were stupid, he should have guessed it by now, right?

Xue Xue Jiulan watched the other's retreating figure.

Remembering the expression Li Yao showed when she mentioned the passive skill,

she couldn't help but laugh and scold.

She guessed right!

Only passive skills could catch your eye!

The reward for first place in the battle for the top spot was actually an SS-grade skill badge.

But how could the high-level Federation officials put such a precious item as an SS-grade passive skill on the Star Net for people to exchange?

An SS-grade skill was definitely an extremely precious reward for any candidate.

However,

in Xue Xue Jiulan's eyes, given the combat power Li Yao had displayed, he certainly wouldn't be lacking in ordinary SS-grade skills.

So she paid out of her own pocket to raise the reward by a notch.
