Chapter 358

Li Yao was stunned.

Isn't this just insider manipulation?

Wait!

Passive skill?

"Many thanks, Senior Xue. When the time comes, I must ask Senior Xue to remind me."

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

How could he think there were too many?

"Easy, easy!"

Xue Jiulan laughed and continued:

"Next is the final reward."

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

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

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

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

"However, I can tell you that the entry quota for the Tower of Grandmasters is very precious; there are only ten quotas a year, so before going in, you must be fully prepared; it's best to enter after level 30."

Since Xue Jiulan gave such a warning, it was clear she attached great importance to this quota.

"I understand."

As they talked, the two arrived at the location of the formation.

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

After a few breaths, their feet stepped on the ground again.

"Even 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 the Jingyu Martial Arts Academy.

Walking for ten minutes, they arrived at the main gate of the 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.

"Jingyu Martial Arts Academy!"

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

Or even,

danger?

Xue Jiulan said: "This was inscribed by the old Dean himself; it is both a portal 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 fall upon him.

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

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

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

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

"This is the aura coming from the martial arts practice field," Xue Jiulan explained casually, "There are all kinds of testing instruments there, like damage-per-second calculation dummies, burst damage measuring instruments, spiritual steles, etc."

"These little gadgets are still quite interesting."

"I remember a captain set up a DPS leaderboard; as long as you make the list at any advancement stage, you can get a handsome reward. If you have nothing to do, you can go over and play."

Li Yao nodded.

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

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

"That is the Dungeon Hall, which contains 107 dungeons recorded by the Jingyu Martial Arts Academy, covering everything from Tier Two to Tier Five; all types of dungeons are available."

"By the way,"

"at two o'clock this afternoon, a large-scale dungeon will open. In my impression, except for the Bone-Crushing Insect Nest, you haven't been to a large-scale dungeon, right?"

Li Yao nodded.

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

Xue Jiulan said, taking out her phone and flipping through it.

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

"No problem."

"OK!"

Xue Jiulan smiled with satisfaction.

What she didn't tell Li Yao was

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

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

Conflicts were absolutely inevitable inside!

If Li Yao went in, it would be a safe bet!

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

"This is the freshman residential area."

"Just go find Room 1 and settle in."

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

"Many thanks, Senior Xue."

"One week later, that Dean of the War Academy will return to the Jingyu Martial Arts Academy; remember to go 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 Jiulan looked at the other's retreating back,

remembering the expression Li Yao showed when they talked about passive skills,

and couldn't help but laugh and scold.

Guessed right!

Only passive skills can catch your eye, kid!

The reward for first place in the contest battle was actually an SS-tier skill badge.

But how could the Federation high command put such a precious item as an SS-tier passive skill on the Star Net for people to trade?

An SS-tier skill is definitely an incredibly precious reward for any candidate.

However,

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

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