Chapter 7: The Water Sprinkling Technique Inheritance Orb

"The King Kong Ape is dead!"

They were somewhat stunned.

Even a severely wounded King Kong Ape is not something an ordinary Beginner Ability Apprentice can kill.

"Who is this guy?" Zhang Shao asked.

"Don't know!" The other six shook their heads one after another.

They knew all the Ability Users with stronger strength in the Genius Class, and Ye Tian was not among them.

"He doesn't seem to be an Ability User, but an Ability Apprentice!" Lin Qingya saw it.

"It really is!"

The other six were shocked.

Of course, they did not think Ye Tian's strength was very high, only believing that the King Kong Ape's injuries had suffered a bloodline backlash and were too severe, which was why Ye Tian had picked up the scraps.

Ye Tian also saw Lin Qingya and the others; these were the geniuses of the third year at First High School. Although he did not recognize them all, he could roughly guess who a few were.

"Fellow students, is there something you need?"

Ye Tian asked indifferently.

Zhang Shao said coldly, "Do you know that this King Kong Ape was wounded by us, yet you took advantage of it? What do you say about that?"

"Whoever kills the prey gets it; the one I killed naturally belongs to me. Is there a problem?" Ye Tian did not flinch at all; he was not afraid of Zhang Shao in the slightest.

Even if Zhang Shao was a genius, it would not be long before he could surpass him.

"Give me the Purple Gold Bamboo in your hand, and this matter will be settled!"

Zhang Shao had his eye on this Purple Gold Bamboo. Such bamboo had the effect of gathering Heaven and Earth Spiritual Energy. Although it was broken and its effectiveness had dropped significantly, it still had many uses and could easily sell for several hundred thousand.

"Get lost!"

Ye Tian shouted coldly.

He still needed to use this Purple Gold Bamboo to raise his Wood Talent Ability to B-Grade; how could he possibly give it to Zhang Shao!

Just as Zhang Shao was about to make a move, Lin Qingya said, "Zhang Shao, let it go. We are all classmates, there's no need for this. Since this classmate killed the King Kong Ape, it is his. After all, he has no obligation to share with us."

Since Lin Qingya had said so, Zhang Shao found it difficult to say anything.

If he were to snatch the Purple Gold Bamboo from Ye Tian's hand, he would undoubtedly be looked down upon by Lin Qingya.

Thus, he immediately changed his expression: "Lin Qingya is right, then let's just let this matter go!"

Afterwards.

The group left one by one.

However, Ye Tian frowned slightly.

He knew that Zhang Shao was likely not going to let it go just like that. He had heard of Zhang Shao—a commoner genius whose family was not wealthy, but whose talent was truly excellent. It was only through the investment of a company that he had been able to improve his strength so rapidly.

This time, his killing of the King Kong Ape undoubtedly caused him to lose out on a profit, and Zhang Shao must be feeling the sting.

People like Lin Qingya and the others had backgrounds and deep pockets, so they truly did not care about such a small loss.

He did not want to offend anyone, nor did he want to look for trouble, but sometimes trouble insisted on finding him.

"Forget it, after some time, my strength will inevitably surpass Zhang Shao's. If he wants to look for trouble with me, he's just courting death!"

Ye Tian did not think too much and continued to soak in the spiritual spring water.

As time passed, the end of the three-day period was drawing closer.

Finally.

Ye Tian reached C-Grade in his Water Talent Ability through the spiritual spring water.

"Data Panel!"

【Host: Ye Tian】

【Realm: Intermediate Ability Apprentice】

【Innate Ability: Water Element C-Grade (1/100), Fire Element E-Grade (3/100), Wood Element C-Grade (12/100), Metal Element D-Grade (1/100), Earth Element E-Grade (3/100)】

【Strange Art: F-Grade Water Sprinkling Technique (Small Success), E-Grade Water Shield Technique (Small Success), E-Grade Gold Needle Technique (Small Success)】

"The Water Talent Ability has been raised to C-Grade, and the time is almost up; it's time to go!"

He looked at the spiritual spring and revealed a look of regret.

This spiritual spring water should still have some use for him. If he soaked for a day, he might be able to gain a few points of Water Power, and soaking for a month might allow his Water Talent Ability to reach B-Grade.

However, he could not take the entire spring with him, and taking a little bit was meaningless.

"Let's go!"

Ye Tian took the Purple Gold Bamboo, dragged the corpse of the King Kong Ape, and walked toward the exit of the Secret Realm.

Along the way, the aura emitted by the King Kong Ape's corpse made many fierce beasts afraid to approach, and as a result, he did not encounter a single beast.

Soon, he arrived at the Secret Realm exit and walked out from there.

……

"The King Kong Ape!!!!"

Many students were extremely surprised to see Ye Tian dragging the corpse of the King Kong Ape out.

The key was that the one who killed the King Kong Ape was actually Ye Tian.

Especially the students of the Water Element Class, who were all dumbfounded.

They naturally knew what Ye Tian's strength was—just a Beginner Ability Apprentice who only knew the Water Sprinkling Technique. How could he possibly kill a King Kong Ape?

"Maybe he picked it up!"

They guessed in their hearts.

For example, if an Intermediate Ability User like Lin Qingya killed the King Kong Ape and didn't care for the corpse, she might have left it behind, and Ye Tian just happened to pick it up.

But soon, they would know that this was not something Ye Tian had picked up.

"Next, we will announce the results for the Top Ten. As for the results outside the Top Ten, you may inquire with your own teachers."

A teacher from the Genius Class said.

"First place: Lin Qingya, 682 points!"

"Second place: Li Shaohe, 628 points!"

"Third place: Zhang Shao, 577 points!"

"Fourth place: Ye Tian, 576 points!"

"Fifth place: Gao Weiwei, 566 points!"

"Fourth place is not bad either!"

Ye Tian was very satisfied.

He had hardly hunted any fierce beasts; if he had kept hunting them, with the 500 points from the King Kong Ape, he would have certainly secured first place.

However, if he had truly obtained first place, it would have attracted too much attention, which would not have been a good thing.

At this moment, Lin Qingya, who had won first place, was also somewhat surprised.

She had thought Ye Tian would be able to win first place; after all, Ye Tian had killed the King Kong Ape and obtained 500 points!

"This guy really has good luck!"

Zhang Shao was very unconvinced.

He believed that if Ye Tian hadn't luckily obtained the 500 points from the King Kong Ape, his real score would have been 76 points, which showed just how poor Ye Tian's strength was.

Subsequently, the rewards for the Top Ten began to be distributed.

The first-place prize was a B-grade Ability and 500,000 in prize money; any single B-grade Ability was worth 1,000,000, which showed how generous the school was!

The second-place prize was slightly inferior, consisting of a C-rank Technique and 500,000 in prize money.

The third-place prize was a C-rank Technique and 400,000 in prize money.

Ye Tian was in fourth place and received a C-rank Technique and 300,000 in prize money.

The fifth-place prize was a C-rank Technique and 200,000 in prize money, while the rewards for sixth through tenth place were the same: a C-rank Technique and 100,000 in prize money.

"Ye Tian, what C-rank Technique do you want to choose?"

Teacher Li Xuan walked up to Ye Tian and asked.

Ye Tian pondered for a moment, "Teacher, I want the C-rank Water Element Ability—Water Healing Technique!"

The Water Healing Technique is a medical-type Strange Art that can heal others and also heal oneself.

Ye Tian felt that he possessed five Innate Abilities and would surely have more in the future; he did not lack Attack Element Strange Arts, but medical-type Strange Arts were rare, with only a few Wood Element and Water Element medical-type Strange Arts available.

Therefore, he wanted to choose the Water Healing Technique.

"Ye Tian, the Water Healing Technique is a C-rank Technique; you need a C-Grade Water Element Ability to have any hope of mastering it!" Li Xuan reminded him.

"Teacher Li, I found a Heavenly Material and Earthly Treasure in the Secret Realm. After consuming it, my Water Element Talent has already reached C-Grade! Therefore, I can practice the Water Healing Technique!"

Ye Tian was preparing for showing his strength later; if he continued to display the appearance of an F-rank Water Element Talent, it would be hard to explain.

Taking this opportunity to say he used some Heavenly Material and Earthly Treasure to improve his Water Element Talent meant that when his cultivation quickly advanced to the Ability User realm later, it would not arouse suspicion.

"Your Water Element Talent has been raised to C-Grade???"

Teacher Li Xuan was very shocked.

She was seen taking out a Water Talent Stone from her person, preparing to test the potential level of Ye Tian's Water Element Talent.

Ye Tian held the Water Talent Stone and poured his Water Element Ability Power into it.

Hum!

One halo after another appeared.

One halo represented F-rank, two represented E-grade, and three represented D-grade.

At this moment, the Water Talent Stone emitted four halos, representing that Ye Tian's Water Element Talent had reached C-Grade!

"It really is C-Grade!"

Li Xuan no longer doubted him, only feeling that Ye Tian's luck was simply too good.

Being able to raise an F-rank Water Element Talent to C-Grade was incredibly precious; if it were used by a C-Grade Talented Ability User, it might even be able to raise it to B-grade!

"Return to school first; around noon, your Water Healing Technique Inheritance Orb will be issued to you!"

Li Xuan put away the Water Talent Stone and said.

Strange Arts above C-rank were all very complex and required an Inheritance Orb to be recorded; otherwise, just by looking at a manual, it would likely take many days to memorize, and it would be very easy to make mistakes, far less convenient than an Inheritance Orb.

Half an hour later.

Ye Tian had already returned to Donghai No. 1 High School, his 300,000 prize money had arrived, and he was just waiting for the Water Healing Technique Inheritance Orb at noon.

As for the corpse of that King Kong Ape, he sold it directly to the school, and the school gave him 200,000.

When it was almost 12 o'clock, the Water Healing Technique Inheritance Orb was delivered.

Ye Tian took the Water Healing Technique Inheritance Orb and went back; upon returning home, he placed the Inheritance Orb against his brow, probed his consciousness into it, and received the inheritance of the Water Healing Technique.

Boom!!!!

A surge of information flooded into his mind, and very quickly, Ye Tian memorized the practice content of the Water Healing Technique.

"Next, I will go to the No. 2 Underground Mall to buy more C-rank Techniques, and then in the coming time, I will strive to improve my strength and charge toward the Ability User realm!"
