Chapter 26: Heaven-Defying Perk, Yellow Grade Top-Tier Battle Soldier!

"Grandpa, Grandpa!"

Liu Yan'er, full of spirit and vigor, arrived outside the President's Office!

She put her hands on her hips and started banging on the door directly!

"Oh my, my little ancestor, what kind of trouble are you stirring up this time?"

Liu Qingtian, suffering from a headache due to the commotion, hurriedly opened the door to let Liu Yan'er in.

"I'm busy with work here; I really don't have time to play with you.

See if there's anywhere you want to go? After I get off work, Grandpa will take you, alright?"

He assumed Liu Yan'er was bored and wanted to find him to play, just like usual.

"Grandpa, I'm here for serious business this time!" Liu Yan'er said, hands on her hips.

"Serious business?!"

"If you have serious business, go find your eldest uncle or your third uncle, alright?"

Upon hearing this, Liu Qingtian felt a jolt of alarm, and a flattering smile immediately appeared on his face.

He could handle it if Liu Yan'er was just here to play.

But if it was serious business...

Did it mean some Martial Artist's cat was lost, and they came to the Martial Artist Association to post a mission, but since the Association doesn't support posting such missions, Liu Yan'er decided to help them find it herself?

Or was it that some Martial Artist's wife was cheating, and Liu Yan'er wanted to help them catch the affair?

Yet, he couldn't say that what Liu Yan'er was doing was wrong.

His granddaughter was kind, and being kind was good...

"Grandpa, what kind of look is that!!"

"This really is serious business!"

Liu Yan'er was furious.

"I came to tell you that a student who just graduated from Martial Arts High School has already promoted to Second Grade!"

She stated her purpose directly.

"Hm? The news has spread that fast already?!"

Liu Qingtian was shocked at first, thinking that First High School or the Martial Artist Association had done a poor job with confidentiality.

"No, that's not right. This girl doesn't like the Xiao Family kid.

If she knew the Xiao Family kid had reached Second Grade, she wouldn't have come to find me..."

"The other two little ones? That's not right either; those old fogeys treasure them so much that they haven't let them show their faces since the Awakening Ceremony, so it's impossible for word to have leaked..."

"Is there a fourth little one in Jiangcheng who has reached Second Grade?!"

He then realized something.

Liu Qingtian's pupils shrank violently!

"Is it Ning Feng from First High School, or the one from Second High School...

Or could it be Li Qingqing from Third High School?!"

"Grandpa, do you know now that I was talking about serious business?"

Liu Yan'er saw that Liu Qingtian had guessed the truth, and her face was full of smugness.

"Oh my, my precious darling, hurry and tell Grandpa, who is so capable!"

A flattering expression appeared on Liu Qingtian's face once again.

He really couldn't think of anyone; the few people in his memory should all be a level below that.

Although the Genius Camp was opening soon and he would know who it was then, people are naturally curious.

"I won't tell you!"

"Yan'er, Grandpa shouldn't have mocked you yesterday; you are the best, isn't that enough?"

"Fine, that person is right here at the Martial Artist Association; his name is Ye Bai, and he came to apply for the reward for reaching Second Grade before entering Martial University.

I came here so you could stamp the papers for me, Grandpa, otherwise I don't have the authority to grant the reward."

Liu Yan'er was satisfied.

"Wait, you said his name is Ye Bai?!"

Upon hearing this, Liu Qingtian was completely stunned.

If he remembered correctly, there was only one Ye Bai among the three Martial Arts High Schools this year...

Could it be a genius from another city who just happened to be named Ye Bai?!

"Student Ye Bai, I have already applied for the reward; you can go directly to the Martial Arts Technique Library, someone is waiting for you there."

"Alright, thank you, Big Sister."

Not long after, Liu Yan'er came back skipping and hopping to notify Ye Bai.

Ye Bai arrived at the Martial Arts Technique Library again.

It would be impossible not to be curious about this reward.

Not only did it require an application, but it actually had to be issued to him by a specialist?

"Are you, Elder Liu??"

However, when Ye Bai walked into the Martial Arts Technique Library and saw the old man with crane-white hair and eyebrows and a kind face standing inside, he was stunned for a moment.

How could it be him?

Ye Bai had accepted long ago that he was a waste in terms of Qi and Blood, and that his life would stop at 10 points of Qi and Blood.

The reason was that a high-level official had once found him privately to verify his Martial Arts Talent.

Liu Qingtian was precisely the high-ranking official who had verified Ye Bai's talent back then!

At the time, the old man had introduced himself as a department head of the Dragon Guard, which represented the official organization of Great Xia.

Ye Bai simply had not expected that a Dragon Guard department head like Liu Qingtian would appear at the Martial Artist Association; in all likelihood, he was the person specifically assigned to issue his Second Grade rewards.

"Little Friend Ye, quite surprised, aren't you? This old man is actually quite surprised as well."

Liu Qingtian's inner shock was even greater than Ye Bai's.

"I've grown old, so I was transferred to the Martial Artist Association."

"I just heard that a student named Ye Bai had just certified as a Second Grade Martial Artist; I thought it was a case of having the same name, but I didn't expect it to really be you."

"It's been half a year, right? It seems this old man's judgment back then was wrong; not only can you increase your Qi and Blood normally, but the speed of your improvement is also extremely fast."

As he explained, he looked at Ye Bai with profound meaning.

"Elder Liu, actually your judgment was correct; it's just that my talent mutated..." Ye Bai scratched his head in embarrassment, explaining according to the excuse he had already thought up.

"So that's how it is..."

Upon hearing this, Liu Qingtian wore an expression of relief.

Yet, in his heart, even more turbulent waves were crashing!

Because only he knew that Ye Bai's talent was actually heaven-defying!

As long as the Qi and Blood met the standard, he could become a perpetual motion machine-like existence, completely different from conventional Martial Artists who would lose ninety-nine percent of their combat power once their Qi and Blood were exhausted!

However, the prerequisite for increasing Qi and Blood had blocked Ye Bai's path of Martial Dao.

Over the past half year, every time he thought of Ye Bai, he felt regret for him.

If only Great Xia could have provided Ye Bai with a path to grow stronger...

"To think that 【Reset】, a talent which in my eyes—provided it had no side effects—was at least A-Grade, could actually mutate?!"

"After the mutation succeeded, wouldn't it have already reached S-Grade?!"

This was what Liu Qingtian was thinking in his heart at this moment.

The authorities did have ratings for the talents awakened by all Martial Artists, but these ratings were not made public.

He also instantly realized.

This time, it wasn't just a simple matter of Liu Yan'er obtaining a second bonus; she had performed a great service.

Because Ye Bai was not on this year's Genius Camp list!

He hadn't even been admitted by any Martial University!

If the normal procedures were followed, Ye Bai would not have been able to receive the reward for entering the First Grade.

Then, Liu Qingtian would not have known today that Ye Bai was already Second Grade, nor that 【Reset】 had undergone a mutation!

"It's just that I don't know, since Little Friend Ye's talent had already mutated, why did he only test for 10 points of Qi and Blood during the College Entrance Examination..."

The only thing Liu Qingtian could not understand was the reason why Ye Bai had been hiding the truth all along.

It couldn't possibly be that Ye Bai only mutated after the College Entrance Examination, and then charged from 10 points of Qi and Blood to a Second Grade Martial Artist in one month!

"Little Friend Ye, let this old man tell you about the rewards you can receive this time."

However, he did not ask Ye Bai.

He felt that Ye Bai must have some hidden difficulty, and decided to investigate thoroughly afterward.

"First, it is the same Pill reward as entering the First Grade, but instead of the Blood Qi Pill, it is the Condensing Qi Pill, five in total.

Next is the Martial Technique reward, but it is a bit different from when you certified for the First Grade; you can directly choose one Mysterious Grade Low Tier Martial Skill from the Martial Arts Technique Library to take away and practice!"

"Finally, you can also choose one Yellow Grade Peak Tier Combat Weapon..."

The rewards Liu Qingtian revealed could only be described as astonishing!
