Chapter 478

Li Yao's eyes narrowed slightly, his voice solemn:

"I have a premonition."

"Whether it is the Demon race or other powerful races, the reason they haven't set foot on our Blue Star yet"

"is because the Heavenly Dao, that is, the professional system, is interfering."

"It's like a 'newbie protection period.' The only demons that can enter Blue Star are 'newbie demons' like the Titan demigods."

"Rashly entering the abyss might break this restriction and bring about unimaginable disasters."

He could not explain

why the Demon race, which could easily wipe out Blue Star, would only send demigods as an advance force.

He could only make this bold guess.

Xue Xue Jiulan could not help but be taken aback,

carefully pondering Li Yao's guess.

After the Abyssal Compendium panel appeared,

the Dragon Nation was already preparing to enter the abyss.

Those rewards on the panel

were an unprecedented boost for any nation.

For example:

Increasing base attributes by a point during class advancement.

Without changing the difficulty of the dungeon,

a professional could farm more powerful dungeons right after advancing,

obtaining better rewards.

The snowball gets bigger and bigger!

Experts have speculated

that as long as one can obtain a reward for a base attribute,

the average time it takes for Dragon Nation professionals to go from level 0 to level 60 will decrease by at least 40%!

One step fast, every step fast;

one step slow, every step slow.

Other nations are exploring the abyss; it is impossible for the Dragon Nation's top brass to sit still!

Even if she went to explain these pros and cons herself,

the higher-ups might not necessarily agree!

Li Yao's attitude, however, was exceptionally firm:

"Even if they really want to go, only professionals above the Seventh Turn should go!"

Xue Xue Jiulan: "But most Seventh-Turn professionals have important matters to attend to."

"Once the Tower of Breaking Limits appears and an Eighth-Turn professional emerges, the Seventh-Turn professionals will be freed up."

"Alright, I understand."

Xue Xue Jiulan nodded solemnly.

She would report it truthfully to the higher-ups.

She had also figured it out:

what she said might only be taken as a reference by the higher-ups,

but Li Yao was different.

It can be said that the changes in Blue Star right now were all brought back by Li Yao alone.

The higher-ups would definitely consider Li Yao's words carefully!

Seeing his teacher agree, Li Yao also breathed a sigh of relief:

"The abyss is very dangerous. I will go and make things clear to Xiao Na and Xue Xue Jiuling."

"Xiao Na, Xue Xue Jiuling."

Once the serious business was finished, Xue Xue Jiulan returned to her usual devil-may-care demeanor.

"If Xue Jiuling finds out you use that nickname, she will be hurt."

"By the way, you remember the Freshman Competition, right?"

"It starts in a week. If you have time, go and be a judge."

"Hmm, I will go."

Li Yao thought for a moment and said, "After the Freshman Competition, I will take a trip to the abyss."

"If it goes smoothly, I can launch a full-scale attack on the Demon Insect race when I return!"

"Oh?" Xue Xue Jiulan's eyes lit up, "Is it the Demon Insect race you contracted?"

She had long since read through the dozens of pages of paper brought back by Zhang Zhang Yucheng and Ji Nie Yuan,

and had applied them to the 【Insect Mother Battlefield】 at the earliest opportunity.

After just a few hours of fermentation,

it had brought unimaginable benefits.

Casualties in every engagement were visibly decreasing.

It was like a duel between top experts of equal strength—

when you have even figured out the color of the other party's underwear,

are you still afraid of losing?

Now that she heard Li Yao even had a way to bring back that Demon Insect Mother from the national trial,

how could she not be excited!?

"Good!" Xue Xue Jiulan nodded heavily, "We will take advantage of this time to try our best to produce an Eighth-Turn professional, and then, in coordination with the Insect Mother, wipe out the Demon Insect race in one fell swoop!"

After a pause, Xue Xue Jiulan continued:

"However, don't push yourself too hard when you go to the abyss. If it really doesn't work, just give up; staying alive is more important than anything."

"Your strength is greater than mine; I won't give you any pointers, but prioritize caution in everything!"

In Xue Xue Jiulan's eyes,

Li Yao was far more important than the Insect Mother.

"Alright, I understand, Teacher."

Li Yao said seriously.

"Hmm, as long as you know." This "Teacher" had reached the very heart of Xue Xue Jiulan, and she couldn't stop herself from laughing out loud.

"Hehe."

"Is there anything else you need your teacher's help with?"

"Uh," three black lines appeared on Li Yao's forehead, "Actually, there is. I want to go to the Tower of Masters again."

Master-level skills were definitely enough for an ordinary Fourth-Turn professional,

but his current opponents were at least Seventh-Turn professionals.

Master-level skills could be refined further,

which would allow him to maximize his current attributes.

The increase in combat power would be no less than a piece of legendary equipment!

"It's possible," Xue Xue Jiulan thought for a moment, "but the current spot is the turn of that girl, Hong Ling."

"If you speak up, let alone the Some Jingyu Martial Academy, even the Dragon Nation would hold Hong Ling back from entering and give the spot to you."

"Then forget it." Li Yao did not have the habit of snatching spots from others.

"Why forget it?"

Did this kid not hear

that she said that to try and win some benefits for that girl, Hong Ling?

This kid's storage ring was probably full of treasures!

Wouldn't taking out a few be a bigger improvement than the Tower of Masters?

Forget it.

This kid was too dense.

Xue Xue Jiulan said huffily:

"You just need to give Hong Ling some benefits so she feels the gains exceed those of the Tower of Masters, and wouldn't she be willing to give it to you?"

"Benefits?" Li Yao asked, "What is Hong Ling's class?"

"Hunter. It's the class advancement book you gave me before."

"Oh?" Li Yao was stunned; he hadn't expected such a connection.

"I remember her weapon is a saber, right?"

"Yes."

Li Yao took a battle saber out of his storage ring.

"Purple-gold grade seems a bit low-tier."

He put it back in the storage ring and took out a few pieces of legendary equipment.

"I don't really have any saber-type weapons."

"Why don't you take a look, Teacher, and choose one to trade for some suitable equipment for Hong Ling?"

*Slurp.

When Li Yao looked up at Xue Xue Jiulan, the other party was just wiping her mouth.

She feigned calmness and said:

"Legendary? Wouldn't that be too outrageous? How can a little girl wear such good equipment?"

*I haven't even seen a few pieces of purple-gold equipment myself!

*Are you wholesaling them, kid?!

*You take out legendary equipment like it's Chinese cabbage.

*Are you doing this on purpose, kid?!

"The Tower of Masters is very important to me, and I don't have use for these legendary pieces. The purple-gold grade has too high a level requirement; Hong Ling can't equip it yet," Li Yao analyzed seriously.

"That purple-gold battle saber from just now is perfectly enough!"

"I'll go back and trade it for suitable equipment for her; keep the rest yourself."

Xue Xue Jiulan thought for a moment and sighed.

"Forget it."

"I heard from Zhang Zhang Yucheng that you are going to hold a trade fair, right?"

"I'll go and keep an eye on it for you, so you don't trade legendary equipment for some trash."

Legendary equipment—

even she had only learned of this grade from Li Yao.

Let alone on the market,

no one in the entire Blue Star had ever dropped legendary equipment!

Trading it away casually was simply a waste of heaven's gifts!

Li Yao's eyes lit up.

With his teacher keeping an eye on things,

did he not have to go?

"Then I'll trouble you, Teacher!"

"Small matter," Xue Xue Jiulan waved her hand casually.

"But it will have to be after a while."

"After the Freshman Competition."

"During this time, I am going to attempt to break through to the Seventh Turn."

"Are you confident?" Li Yao asked.

"Originally, I only had a fifty percent chance, which is why I've been dragging it out until now."

"But now with that legendary equipment you gave me, the probability is at least ninety percent."

Xue Xue Jiulan smiled:

"Don't worry, I haven't lived enough yet; I won't joke with my own life."

Li Yao reached his hand into his storage ring again, preparing to take out that batch of legendary equipment.

Xue Xue Jiulan quickly interrupted:

"Save it."

"I just looked; there's nothing suitable!"

"The equipment I have on me isn't bad either!"

"If it's not particularly suitable, it's not good to replace my original equipment!"

Although it was legendary equipment,

what could be traded for it were only epic pieces.

Not everyone was like Li Yao,

who could equip epic and legendary equipment at will.

Ordinary professionals still needed to rely on a large amount of base attributes to exert percentage-based boosts.

"Fine."

Li Yao nodded and stood up, "Then, Teacher, I will take my leave first. If there is news about the Tower of Masters, send me a message."

"Good."

Xue Xue Jiulan also stood up.

"But before you go,"

a chessboard appeared between the two.

Li Yao raised an eyebrow.

"Teacher, do you want to play?"

"That's right, let's play!" Xue Xue Jiulan chuckled.

The chessboard—

an SSS-grade item for Li Yao to hone his 'Momentum'.

Xue Xue Jiulan looked at Li Yao and sat on one side of the chessboard.

"Let me see just how much progress you've made lately, kid!"

Li Yao sat down accordingly and smiled:

"Then Teacher should be a little careful."
