Chapter 230

Li Yao's talent in this area shouldn't be as dazzling as his other talents.

Breaking the record she set was unlikely.

"Three-level weapon mastery? Comprehended an S-grade skill?"

Xue Xue Jiulan tried to estimate as high as possible.

After all, that brat Li Yao couldn't be treated as an ordinary professional.

"An S-grade skill might be a bit difficult, but three-level weapon mastery should be achievable."

"Intermediate Sword Technique LV4 can already be considered having entered the hall. With a bit of effort and two months of cultivation, he could reach LV6 or LV7."

"In that case, even if placed in a place like the National Trial where geniuses gather, he wouldn't suffer because of weapon mastery."

Xue Xue Jiulan calculated as she arrived at the seventh floor.

She walked into the innermost room.

She looked up at the leaderboard.

On the leaderboard,

Li Yao's name was prominently at the very front.

"Eighteen."

Xue Xue Jiulan touched her forehead.

She didn't have a fever!

Had she been sleeping too much lately, leaving her mind a bit dazed?

She wondered suspiciously.

She looked at it a dozen times,

until the two characters 'eighteen' looked unfamiliar, before Xue Xue Jiulan realized she hadn't misread it.

"No way!"

"This kid..."

Xue Xue Jiulan expressed her lack of understanding!

She had been to the Master's Tower, so she had the most right to speak.

As long as the direction of conception wasn't wrong,

theoretically, the images appearing inside the Master's Tower were the best teachers for the professional themselves.

But it was only twelve hours!

In twelve hours, comprehending two or three levels was already extremely good.

Someone like her, who improved by six levels,

had caused a sensation throughout Some Jingyu Academy at the time.

The old Dean had even taken her as his closing disciple back then.

When the old Dean took her in, he had said

that her other talents were top-tier, but her talent for technique could be called 'supreme.'

And the facts were exactly so.

Improving six levels of technique—this record had remained unbroken to this day!

Now that she had broken through to the Sixth Rank, she was the most top-tier professional among the Sixth Ranks, all relying on her weapon mastery!

If she was like this, then what about Li Yao?

Improving eighteen levels in twelve hours...

You kid, you don't even stop at improving one level per hour, do you?!

Compared to eighteen levels of weapon mastery, even comprehending an SSS-grade skill made Xue Xue Jiulan feel it was somewhat a matter of course.

It was even somewhat unworthy of the former!

Xue Xue Jiulan forced herself to calm down and ponder how Li Yao had done it.

For weapon mastery, the most critical things were comprehension and mental power.

Inside the Master's Tower, one also had to add imagination and creativity; one needed to imagine 'mentors' that far exceeded the professional's own weapon level.

Imagination and creativity weren't difficult as long as one had seen enough powerhouses.

Comprehension was something invisible and intangible, and couldn't be cultivated postnatally, so Xue Xue Jiulan cast it to the back of her mind.

Therefore,

just how terrifying was that brat Li Yao's mental attribute?

Mental attributes actually had roughly corresponding weapon mastery levels.

For example, with two thousand mental power, wanting to comprehend entry-level techniques was very simple.

Eighteen levels—according to previous calculations, Li Yao was now at roughly Master-level technique.

Converting that to mental attribute...

Xue Xue Jiulan couldn't help but shiver.

At least over ten thousand!

Li Yao had the 【Shackle】 skill.

In other words,

one of Li Yao's summoned beasts, at level thirty,

had a mental attribute over ten thousand!

"Is it that Great Dark Winged Dragon?"

Thinking of this,

Xue Xue Jiulan smiled with satisfaction.

Not bad!

Good disciple!

He listened to his teacher!

Li Yao had two main combat summoned beasts:

the mantis creature and the Great Dark Winged Dragon.

During the last scramble, she had told Li Yao to temporarily give up on the mantis summoned beast and focus on cultivating the Great Dark Winged Dragon.

Now that the Great Dark Winged Dragon's mental attribute had broken ten thousand,

wasn't that just fierce cultivation?

"I remember the old Dean once said that comprehending an SSS-grade skill in the Master's Tower would yield a first-clear treasure chest, which could open the Master Heart corresponding to the class."

Xue Xue Jiulan pondered.

The Master's Tower was not a product of the National Trial.

She didn't know its origin; it had inexplicably appeared in the Sakura Kingdom.

It was the older generation who snatched it

and borrowed it back.

The old Dean had told her some secret rumors.

The Summoner's Master Heart seemed to be able to choose a summoned beast to inherit the professional's level of technique.

Since Li Yao was cultivating the Great Dark Winged Dragon,

then this thing must be for the Great Dark Winged Dragon to use!

What would Dragon-race technique be like?

Xue Xue Jiulan tapped her chin, thinking,

planning to go back and check the literature.

Drilling Li Yao—Xue Xue Jiulan wasn't just talking.

On the professional path, Li Yao had grown to this step entirely on his own.

Xue Xue Jiulan wouldn't teach him, nor could she.

What she could do was teach Li Yao how to exert his own strength one hundred percent.

Weapon mastery was the most critical step.

Xue Xue Jiulan had already made her plans.

For however many summoned beasts Li Yao had,

she would find technique masters in every field!

Let those summoned beasts achieve a level of technique no weaker than the professional!

Exert unimaginable combat power!

Teaching summoned beasts was something others couldn't do,

but by chance, Xue Xue Jiulan had obtained an item that happened to meet the conditions.

Xue Xue Jiulan glanced at her arm.

"Hope I can recover soon."

Murmuring to herself, Xue Xue Jiulan prepared to follow the medical staff's advice and go back to recuperate.

Before leaving,

Xue Xue Jiulan suddenly thought of something

and ran to the instrument to operate it.

【NO2: Hidden, weapon mastery increased by six levels, comprehended SS-grade skill!】

It was no secret in Some Jingyu that Li Yao was her student.

Xue Xue Jiulan pouted.

Stinky brat, he didn't even know how to be low-key!

Where was the logic in a student riding on top of his teacher?

"Achoo!"

Li Yao rubbed his nose.

"Caught a cold?"

Wondering, Li Yao turned off the computer and lay on the bed.

He closed his eyes,

pondering in his heart.

He had one free opportunity to choose items on the Star Network.

After returning from the Master's Tower, he had been browsing SSS-grade skills on the Star Network.

Little master, there is more to this chapter, please click the next page to continue reading, it gets more exciting!

As for equipment and items, Li Yao hadn't considered them.

His level was very low right now, and those things were constantly being replaced and eliminated; there was no need to waste a hard-won opportunity.

SSS-grade active skills:

there were fourteen in total.

There were three that Li Yao could use,

but none reached the level that made Li Yao's heart flutter.

"The opportunity has no time limit, no need to rush. I'll check once every week and choose slowly."

"But regardless, I must redeem one before the National Trial to improve my strength as much as possible."

"It concerns the development of the Dragon Kingdom; even if I have confidence, I cannot hold anything back."

Li Yao pondered as he fell into a deep sleep.

The next morning,

Li Yao tidied up and went out to the dungeon hall.

10: 0 AM was the opening time for the 【Core Jianyan Caverns】.

Senior Xue had reserved a spot for him.

The dungeon hall was always the liveliest place in the Some Jingyu Martial Academy.

Arriving at the fourth floor, the room where the Core Jianyan Caverns were located,

as soon as he entered the door,

noisy sounds were continuous, just like entering a vegetable market.

"Ten minutes left, sincerely inviting Ice-type mages above level 35!"

"Ice-type hunter leading the team, looking for output professionals with dummy DPS above 700!"

"Six-Poison Mage violent team, currently five waiting for one, missing one Poison Mage, interested parties talk in detail!"

"Acquiring C-grade cooldown potions! Ice-type damage amplification potions for 120 points!"

"Temporarily borrowing a staff above Platinum-grade that adds Ice-attribute damage, price negotiable!"

Some were recruiting teammates, some were taking advantage of the Core Jianyan Caverns opening to make a fortune,

and some had strong personal strength and were negotiating terms with teams.

"I am a Summoner. If you equip me with a Platinum-grade staff, I will join your team."

"What!? A Summoner?"

That person handed their staff to the other party directly and invited them to join the team.

"Right, what type is your summoned beast?"

"That kind of high-damage insect type?"

"No," the Summoner said, holding the staff lovingly.

"Is it a Dragon-race summoned beast that breathes fire?"

"Not that."

"Could it be a super-large main-tank summoned beast?"

"Not that either."

"Not that either?" The person snatched back their staff, kicked the Summoner out of the team, and cursed:

"Then you say you're a Summoner? Are you even worthy?"

"Wasting my time!"

I don't know when it started,

but Summoner was no longer synonymous with 'sewer,' but had instead become an extremely sought-after class.

The culprit, Li Yao, shrank his neck,

feeling a bit guilty.

Just then,

"Senior Li Yao, you are here too?"

Xiao Hei walked toward Li Yao with a report.

"Perfect, I was just about to look for you."
