Chapter 90: Boots of Flash, The Prodigy Showdown

On the other side, after a flash of white light, Xiao Fan arrived in a golden space.

"Young Friend Xiao has arrived. This is the Dragon Kingdom Treasury," President Ye Yuan said with a smile from the side.

Xiao Fan then lifted his eyes to observe the surrounding environment.

In front of him was a massive, shimmering golden treasury.

Although Xiao Fan did not recognize the materials used for the surrounding golden walls,

just by taking a simple look at how they radiated precious light, he knew these materials were worth a fortune.

On these walls, there were also many shimmering formations and restrictions.

Clearly, they had all been reinforced with arrays and restrictions.

And before him, streaks of golden light were flowing back and forth incessantly.

The equipment before him, without exception, were all Legendary-grade gear!

"This floor is specifically provided for the reward of the national top scorer. Young Friend Xiao, you may choose any piece of equipment from this floor," President Ye Yuan introduced with a smile.

Hearing President Ye Yuan's words, Xiao Fan nodded and carefully observed the golden light orbs in front of him.

There were many defensive and offensive pieces of equipment among these golden orbs—blades, spears, axes, halberds, armor, bracelets, and rings were all plentiful.

Xiao Fan stroked his chin. "Currently, I basically don't lack damage, defense, or anti-control methods."

If he were truly lacking anything, it would probably be a way to locate monsters.

First, there are the 20 Fifth-Turn Demons; this concerns his Third-Turn quest.

Unlike magical beasts, Fifth-Turn Demons possess a certain level of intelligence.

Even if Xiao Fan could find the Fifth-Turn Demons, he would have to approach and kill them in time.

Otherwise, if he were not careful, they would escape.

"It would be great if there were a piece of equipment that increased movement ability," Xiao Fan thought to himself while searching through the light orbs.

But soon, a flash of light appeared in Xiao Fan's eyes; he had clearly seen one of the light orbs.

"That's a pair of boots!" Xiao Fan was somewhat surprised.

Boots-type equipment were not common among the many types of gear; they were considered extremely rare.

"Oh, Student Xiao is referring to those boots. Those boots are called Boots of Flash. I obtained them not long ago after killing a demon on the Abyss Battlefield."

Seeing Xiao Fan was interested in the golden-shining boots, President Ye Yuan beckoned.

Soon, the golden light orb wrapped around the boots, shot towards President Ye Yuan, and slowly landed in his hands.

[Boots of Flash]

[Grade: Legendary]

[Type: Movement]

[Skill: Active release, can add an extra segment of Flash (the number of times increases as the level rises). After the cooldown charges are used up, it enters a 30-minute cooldown period.]

Xiao Fan took a quick look at the skill description of the Boots of Flash and smacked his lips.

Wonderful. This was truly delivering a pillow just as he was getting sleepy. He didn't know if his talent, Absolute Luck, had taken effect.

Xiao Fan was quite satisfied looking at the Boots of Flash before him. With these Boots of Flash,

he could use extreme speed to approach the Fifth-Turn Demons and kill them.

"President Ye Yuan, I want these boots," Xiao Fan said without hesitation or conflict.

"Good!" President Ye Yuan handed the light orb to Xiao Fan.

"These Boots of Flash are a special type of equipment with no level requirement. It's perfect that you can equip them; they are quite suitable!" President Ye Yuan gave Xiao Fan a kindly smile.

Xiao Fan smiled and accepted the boots, then equipped them on his feet.

He gently lifted his foot, then set it down, and he instantly flashed to an area 10 meters ahead.

"It really is Flash." Although he had experienced it before, he was still somewhat surprised.

This was much faster than simply using rapid movement.

But as Xiao Fan used it, the active Flash skill of the Boots of Flash also entered a cooldown.

However, the time was only 30 minutes.

It seems it is the same as the siming necklace; as long as the charges are used up, it enters a cooldown.

But fortunately, the cooldown time is not long.

For others, equipment like the Boots of Flash would enter a 30-minute cooldown after releasing the skill.

It would be better to just learn a movement skill themselves.

But in Xiao Fan's hands, this pair of boots was heaven-defying. The number of Flash charges for the Boots of Flash could increase with his level.

Perhaps for others, this skill level would take a long time to increase.

But for Xiao Fan, he could level up with one yuan, so he could completely accumulate the displacement charges of the Boots of Flash.

By then, as long as the charges were not used up, it would not enter a cooldown.

He might even be able to flash 100,000 times in a very short period after raising the Boots of Flash to level 100,000.

Seeing Xiao Fan equip the Boots of Flash, President Ye Yuan nodded with a smile.

"The reward collection is over. Let's talk about the Prodigy Competition."

"Prodigy Competition?" Xiao Fan raised an eyebrow.

Although he had heard Ye Yourong and others mention it before,

this was the first time he thoroughly understood the details of the Prodigy Competition.

"The so-called Prodigy Competition is a special battle mode conducted to select outstanding talented students to enter the International Class."

"Simply put, it is a confrontation between the outstanding prodigy students of this year and the outstanding prodigy students of the previous year!" President Ye Yuan continued to introduce.

"Prodigy against prodigy?" A flash of light appeared in Xiao Fan's eyes, and he looked surprised.

"But if that's the case, the previous year's prodigy students have practiced for at least one more year than this year's. Can this even be fought?"

Hearing Xiao Fan's insightful words, President Ye Yuan nodded with satisfaction, a hint of appreciation showing in his eyes.

"Correct. Everyone is a prodigy, and the previous year's students have practiced for an extra year; they are definitely stronger than this year's students."

"But this is the significance of the Prodigy Competition. The Dragon Kingdom wants to select true geniuses!"

"Usually, this year's students will be defeated by the previous year's students, but there are some monster-like geniuses who will defeat the geniuses of the previous year."

"And such monster-like geniuses gain the qualification to enter the International Class!"

Hearing President Ye Yuan's words, Xiao Fan's heart stirred: "International Class?"

He remembered that his sister, Deputy Captain Lin Yueru, had defeated the previous year's examinees and entered the International Class.

"Correct, the International Class is the top priority for the Dragon Kingdom! The geniuses cultivated by the International Class are all prepared for the War of National Destiny!"

"It can be said that the strength of the students in the International Class determines the rise and fall of the entire Dragon Kingdom's national destiny!" President Ye Yuan nodded and said solemnly.

"When does the Prodigy Competition start?" Xiao Fan was somewhat concerned, as he still had to participate in the Penglai Island Secret Realm tomorrow.

"The day after tomorrow. However, you can rest assured. With the strength you have shown now, I believe defeating a previous year's prodigy is not a problem!"

"However, even if you defeat a previous year's prodigy and enter the International Class, I'm afraid it will be too late to participate in the War of National Destiny."

"It is said that the War of National Destiny will unfold soon, and only the top 100 students in the International Class are qualified to enter the War of National Destiny!" President Ye Yuan patted Xiao Fan on the shoulder.

"Enough of that. That goal is too far away; don't think about the War of National Destiny for now."

"There is still one day of leveling time tomorrow. With your leveling ability, I am very curious to see how many of the previous year's prodigy students you can defeat by the day after tomorrow."
