Chapter 244

Finally, it converged into a ball of light.

The radiance dissipated.

A skill book lay quietly before Li Yao.

【Space Tombstone (SSS Active Skill): Preliminary control over spatial power】

【Skill Introduction: Upon activation, sets up a spatial seal within a 100-meter radius centered on the professional.】

【Effect 1: Prohibits the use of all space-related skills and items. The anti-air index is determined by the mental power of both parties. If the caster exceeds the opponent by more than 50%, the anti-air index reaches the maximum: 100%.】

【Effect 2: Within the range, the caster's spatial distance is reduced by 10%, while the enemy unit's spatial distance is increased by 10%.】

【Effect 3: Upon learning Space Tombstone, there is a probability of comprehending a spatial-type domain skill after the Fifth Rank.】

【Duration: Infinite】

【Cost: Consumes 100 Mana every five seconds】

【Cooldown: After each deactivation, it requires a 60-second cooldown to reactivate.】

This was a skill book that even Senior Xue had to pull strings to obtain.

Li Yao did not hesitate at all.

"Learn!"

The skill transformed into a stream of light and surged into his body.

Li Yao walked to the basement, preparing to test it out.

At this moment,

his chess pieces had already devoured all the various spiritual items.

Li Yao collected them back into the chess piece space.

The attribute increases were not yet manifested; he would have to wait until tomorrow to check them.

Everything else about 【Space Tombstone】 was easy to understand.

As long as he exceeded the target's mental power by 50%,

he could 100% prohibit the use of spatial items.

Li Yao's own mental attribute was already quite high.

Few of the same rank had higher mental power than him.

If he activated the Shackles and bound the Dark Wing Black Dragon,

let alone those of the same rank,

no one below the Fifth Rank would even think about using spatial items near him!

The key was the second skill effect.

Just looking at the introduction, Li Yao was a bit confused.

"Clang!"

Li Yao's thoughts stirred, and a transparent barrier rippled outward.

It was similar to the domains Li Yao had seen before.

It would move as Li Yao moved.

Li Yao walked a few steps casually.

"Hmm?"

His Master-level technique allowed Li Yao to know his own body like the back of his hand.

This feeling

was like shrinking the earth into an inch.

Each step forward covered roughly 10% more distance than before.

"This must be the effect of spatial distance being reduced by 10%," Li Yao murmured.

Conversely,

if an enemy unit were within the range of the Space Tombstone,

they would have to take a larger step to cover the same distance!

"Isn't this just increasing one's own agility while reducing the enemy's agility?"

No, that wasn't right.

It wasn't limited to that.

Li Yao shook his head slightly.

To test his hypothesis,

Li Yao activated 【Shackles】.

He targeted the Void Mantis.

He released 【Void Leap】.

With a 'swish', Li Yao appeared in another spot.

A hint of joy appeared on Li Yao's face.

"As I expected."

"Displacement skills are also affected!"

A 10% increase wasn't enough to make Li Yao this excited.

The key was that it could also be applied to opponents.

Just imagine:

During a battle, an opponent uses a displacement skill to attack, only to find the distance falls short.

In a battle where every second counts, such a mistake is absolutely a game-changer!

"This skill truly lives up to its SSS-rank name."

"It can be said that the further into the late game, the stronger it gets!"

Previously, Li Yao had been curious.

Just a spatial prohibition, no matter how high the anti-air index was,

could be considered an SSS-rank item.

As an SSS-rank skill, it clearly seemed to be lacking something!

Li Yao suddenly remembered

that this skill book was only listed on the Star Network through Senior Xue's connections.

It certainly couldn't be compared to ordinary SSS-rank skills.

"There is a probability of comprehending a spatial-type domain skill after the Fifth Rank."

Li Yao whispered.

That must be it.

If one were to ask which attribute is the strongest,

anyone's first reaction would be space and time.

The probability of a support professional comprehending a spatial domain

shouldn't be too low.

Otherwise, Senior Xue wouldn't have valued this skill so highly!

"Without realizing it, I owe Senior Xue another huge favor."

Li Yao knew very well

that he couldn't repay it for the time being.

Senior Xue and so many other seniors valued and helped him

all because of his talent.

The most important thing was to improve his strength!

Once his strength was sufficient,

if he encountered something like Senior Xue being injured again,

it wouldn't be Xue Xue Jiuling sneaking over to tell him.

The next day.

Li Yao took a rough look at the attribute increases of his chess pieces.

Among them, Tiger Armor had the greatest improvement.

Both its Strength and Stamina attributes had increased by nearly one hundred!

The Blue Bird had the lowest improvement.

None of its four dimensions had increased by more than ten points.

"It should be because Tiger Armor itself has a higher grade, while the Blue Bird had a feast yesterday, so the improvement naturally became smaller,"

Li Yao pondered.

Little Black was right.

Raising summoned beasts requires reasonable planning.

Under normal circumstances, once a week is sufficient.

Li Yao arrived at the dungeon hall as usual.

It seemed much livelier today than usual.

Li Yao scanned the area.

Everywhere were young men and women in bright clothing who looked quite green.

They were looking around curiously, their eyes revealing the clarity of college students.

They didn't look like they were here to clear dungeons, but rather like they were sightseeing.

"Counting the days, tomorrow seems to be the day for the opening ceremony."

"This year's freshmen should all have arrived at Some Jingyu by now."

Li Yao thought to himself while walking into the dungeon hall.

The opening ceremony was fine.

The key was

that Senior Xue had entrusted him to go on stage as a freshman representative to give a speech.

To help the freshmen broaden their horizons.

To talk about how he achieved his current accomplishments through his own efforts.

What was he supposed to talk about?

He had grown to this point entirely through his own efforts!

Others couldn't learn that!

Forget it.

He would find an opportunity to muddle through it.

Thinking this, Li Yao began his dungeon journey for the day.

The day before the opening ceremony,

from all over the country,

the new batch of Some Jingyu Academy students arrived one after another.

Many senior students, leading with points, happily brought the new students to their dorms.

If needed, one only had to pay an extra 10 points to have a senior student take a freshman on a tour of Some Jingyu Academy.

This short chapter is not yet finished, please click the next page to continue reading the exciting content!

Qin Qin Yue and Han Han Xuan were touring Some Jingyu Academy with several other freshmen.

They had a senior student who arrived at Some Jingyu last year as their guide.

This way, it only cost 2 points per person, which was very cost-effective!

The group admired the beautiful scenery of Some Jingyu Martial Academy.

As one of the four great martial academies, and vaguely known as the number one martial academy, Some Jingyu Martial Academy was vast in scale and magnificent in momentum!

Various unknown buildings were scattered in an orderly fashion.

Everywhere revealed something extraordinary, incomparable to other academies.

If they didn't have a senior student leading the way and introducing things,

these freshmen would likely have gotten lost.

After touring the academy, Qin Qin Yue returned to the dorm.

The points obtained by killing monsters in the Trial Cube were actually the starting funds given to the freshmen by the academy.

They had about 1, 00 points on hand.

So they chose the most ordinary tier, a four-person dorm.

Even for a four-person dorm,

it made them feel a pang of heartache.

It cost two hundred points per month.

If they couldn't afford the rent, they would have to buy a tent and go to the central park to keep company with heaven and earth.

Having seen the magnificent and luxurious side of Some Jingyu outside,

now looking at such a small room,

the contrast made Qin Qin Yue pout and complain,

"So small!"

Hearing this, Han Han Xuan couldn't help but find it funny.

"My dear young lady, just be content."

"Many freshmen choose to buy tents and go camping in the park."

"If you weren't a Poison Mage who needs daily meditation, who would want to stay in a dorm with you?"

"Wouldn't it be better to spend those two hundred points a month on dungeons?"

"Hehe, I know you're the best," Qin Qin Yue immediately hugged Han Han Xuan's arm, "I was just complaining."

Qin Qin Yue didn't have the temper of a young lady; if it weren't for her profession's needs, she would also choose to camp outside.

Moreover, Some Jingyu doing this was clearly to temper the students.

Otherwise, with Some Jingyu's massive land area, if they just cleared out a space for freshman dorms,

it would probably be enough for every freshman to have their own villa!

Han Han Xuan pulled her arm away and browsed the Some Jingyu forum online.

"There are really so many good things, they even sell Platinum-tier gear, but unfortunately, they all require points, and we can't afford them!"

"Hmm?" Han Han Xuan was stunned, unable to believe her eyes.

"Xiao Qin Yue, come here quickly, is there really such an exaggerated dungeon?"

Qin Qin Yue leaned over.

"Core Jianyan Dungeon, as long as you get into the top five, there are rewards, and the worst is Platinum-tier equipment!"

Both of their eyes were filled with little stars.

They scrolled down.

"Entry costs one thousand points? And you need to be at the Student Rank?"

The two sat down on their chairs, dejected.

"So expensive!"

"One thousand points and they don't even let you in, you must be at the Student Rank."

"With our strength, we probably won't reach the Student Rank until next year."

Qin Qin Yue had a bitter expression.

"I really envy Young Master Li, being able to go to that competition thing, at least having ten thousand points as a base."

"I wonder how many points the national champion gets rewarded; it must be a lot!"

"I heard that your Young Master Li came to Some Jingyu a few days ago; with his strength, he's probably already at the Student Rank now."

Han Han Xuan was also full of envy.

These past few days, the two of them had spent all their time in dungeons except for sleeping and eating.

So they didn't know about Li Yao going to the India region.

"Student Rank!?" Qin Qin Yue couldn't believe it, "I remember that to promote to Student Rank, you need to do contribution tasks, right?"

"No matter how strong Young Master Li is, if he can't get tasks, there's nothing he can do."

Han Han Xuan only had a vague understanding of Some Jingyu, so she could only say vaguely:
