Chapter 19: Ye Tian is the Provincial Top Scorer

Hum!

The Darkness Curtain unfolded.

In an instant, the Earth Armor Dragon was plunged into extreme darkness.

Immediately, it lost track of Ye Tian.

Moreover, the Darkness Curtain seemed to transform into countless black threads that wrapped around the Earth Armor Dragon's body, continuously suppressing its strength.

The Earth Armor Dragon panicked and kept trying to break free from the restraints.

However, no matter how it struggled against the restraints, it could not completely break through.

After all, this was an A-Grade Dark Element Ability at the Consummation Realm!

Seeing the Earth Armor Dragon's movements restricted, Ye Tian immediately cast a B-Grade Wood Element Ability—Hell Wood Thorn Technique!

One by one, wood thorns rose from the ground, stabbing toward the Earth Armor Dragon.

The Earth Armor Dragon had strong defenses, but its abdomen was one of its weaknesses.

It always moved by hugging the ground, and this Hell Wood Thorn Technique, which launched attacks from the ground, was undoubtedly one of its banes.

Immediately.

The Earth Armor Dragon's body was lifted up by the Hell Wood Thorn Technique, but the technique did not completely pierce through its skin tissue.

However, Ye Tian pulled a cheeky move.

He controlled one of the wood thorns from the Hell Wood Thorn Technique to stab directly into the Earth Armor Dragon's chrysanthemum.

"Awoooo~~~~"

A miserable cry rang out, showing just how terrifying the damage of this strike was.

However, this also caused the Earth Armor Dragon to become berserk, and its attack power seemed to surge.

But under the suppression of the Darkness Curtain, it struggled to sense Ye Tian's position, rendering its attacks useless, and it could only frantically destroy the surrounding ground.

Next, Ye Tian used various Strange Arts to drain its vitality, attacking wherever it was weak.

Seeing that it was in a dangerous situation, the Earth Armor Dragon prepared to use the Earth Escape Technique to flee.

But Ye Tian had already anticipated this step.

"Finger to Steel Technique!"

In an instant, the soil beneath the Earth Armor Dragon turned into steel ground, and its Earth Escape Technique had no place to be used.

Gradually, this Earth Armor Dragon lost its final spark of life and dissipated into mist.

"I actually killed a Peak Level 2 Demonic Beast Earth Armor Dragon!"

Ye Tian had a rough understanding of his own strength.

Of course.

This was also because the Earth Armor Dragon had low intelligence, making it easier to deal with; if he were facing a Peak Esper with many tricks up their sleeve, it would be very difficult for him to kill them, and he might even be counter-killed.

However, with his strength, it was very easy to deal with most high-level Espers.

After this Earth Armor Dragon was killed, Ye Tian's score increased by another 1000!

"9000 points now. It is said that the full score is 10000; any more is meaningless!"

Ye Tian muttered to himself.

Every year, there are top scorers who achieve the full 10000 points, and sometimes even more than one.

Soon, he killed a few more Level Two Beasts, raising his score to 10000 points.

At this point, continuing to kill beasts in this Secret Realm was meaningless.

Therefore.

Ye Tian stopped looking for beasts and started looking for resources.

The Illusion Secret Realm seemed illusory, but it was actually a real Secret Realm, and some things here could be taken out.

Soon.

Ye Tian saw a white stone, a stone white to the extreme; upon touching it, it felt somewhat cool and refreshing, and it felt quite comfortable to the touch.

【Mental Power +1】

【Mental Power +1】

Seeing this prompt, Ye Tian knew what this stone was.

"Illusion Stone!"

This type of stone was a Mental Element material, a material needed by Mental Element Innate Ability users.

Mental Element Innate Ability users were very rare, but also very powerful.

Mental Element Innate Ability users mainly practiced Illusion Techniques, Mental Attack Abilities, and Mental Defense Abilities; when their Mental Power reached a certain level, they could also possess the ability of Mental Object Manipulation.

"There is still some time, I might be able to collect quite a few Illusion Stones; the one in my hand should be a low-grade Illusion Stone. It would be great if I could find medium-grade or high-grade Illusion Stones!" Ye Tian thought to himself.

Illusion Stones were mainly used to build Illusion Arrays or to extract Illusion Liquid.

Some Mental Potions required Illusion Liquid, simply because the strength of a Mental Element Innate Ability user relied mainly on powerful Mental Power, and Mental Potions could increase Mental Power, which was much faster than slow, bitter cultivation.

Therefore, the value of Illusion Stones was also very high.

The students taking the college entrance exam were all thinking about killing beasts to get good grades; no one had time to slowly search for Illusion Stones.

Through Ye Tian's continuous searching, one Illusion Stone after another was found by him.

Basically, one could only find some Illusion Stones in the core area, and some Illusion Stones were even born underground.

Even though he knew the Earth Escape Technique, searching for Illusion Stones was still quite difficult.

And soon, he had already developed an F-Grade Mental Element Innate Ability; once he went out, he could practice Mental Element Strange Arts.

"Huh, this is a medium-grade Illusion Stone, and it's so big!"

While Ye Tian was searching for Illusion Stones underground, he was quite lucky and found a basketball-sized medium-grade Illusion Stone, which he immediately put away.

A while later, the college entrance exam time arrived.

All students' points were locked; continuing to kill Beasts would no longer earn points.

Immediately, student after student emerged from the F6 Secret Realm.

Ye Tian also returned immediately, quickly reached the Secret Realm exit, handed over his Illusion Bracelet, and then came out from within.

Everyone's results were compiled and reported, and would only be announced in a few days.

……

After coming out, many students discussed with each other, asking about each other's results.

A few people also asked about Ye Tian's results, but Ye Tian just smiled slightly, acting mysterious, and did not reveal them.

If he said he scored ten thousand points, these people wouldn't believe him anyway!

When the results are announced, everyone will know.

After all the students had come out, they left this place one after another.

And Ye Tian also went back.

In the blink of an eye, two days passed.

Donghai No. 1 High School.

School conference room.

Li Xuan and several other teachers arrived here, and the principal, Guo Hai, an Ability Grandmaster, had come in person.

When the teachers had mostly arrived, Guo Hai spoke: "Teachers, our First High School's results this year are very good!"

Hearing the words "very good," these teachers breathed a sigh of relief.

If the results were not good, they would have to be reprimanded.

Guo Hai continued: "This year, the college entrance exam top scorer of Donghai City is in our school, and the provincial top scorer is also in our school!"

"Who is it?"

These teachers were very curious.

According to their usual grades, no matter how well First High School did this year, it was impossible to produce a provincial top scorer!

The provincial top scorer must have ten thousand points; there has never been an exception.

And to obtain ten thousand points, one basically needs the strength of an Ability Master.

Donghai No. 1 High School does not have any Ability Master students in this grade!

"It is Ye Tian from the Water Element Genius Class!" Guo Hai said.

"Ye Tian?"

Upon hearing this, Teacher Li Xuan was completely dumbfounded.

She knew Ye Tian; he was previously an F-rank Water Element Talent Ability User, and later obtained a Heavenly Material and Earthly Treasure, which raised his Water Element Talent Ability Potential to C-Grade, only then barely entering the Genius Class.

The only thing worth mentioning was that he obtained the Top Ten in the previous school league, but according to her investigation, it was Ye Tian picking up scraps, killing Beasts that others had heavily injured, which was how he obtained the Top Ten; this bit of achievement was not worth mentioning!

Afterwards, Ye Tian asked for leave to go cultivate.

She did not know how much Ye Tian's strength had improved, but how could a mere C-Grade Talent Ability User potential obtain the provincial top scorer!
