7: First tier, eighth level, Heavenly Emperor Halberd

So much?

Lin Yan's eyes lit up.

He had thought gaining even one level would be good enough.

It was common knowledge that those with high martial talent could improve rapidly because they possessed cross-tier absorption speeds of Qi and conversion rates of Cultivate resources.

One second-grade plus one fourth-grade sounded like a lot, but first of all, those were the grades of the Spirit Medicine; it wasn't as if you'd get the maximum effect just because of the grade. Being able to convert them into your own strength was the key.

Clearly, his talent was far from as simple as Duan Tiancheng had suggested.

Just then.

"Host."

"Under the bonus of the Overbearing Body, using Cultivate resources higher than your cultivation is naturally more effective."

As expected.

Lin Yan's eyes flickered slightly.

The System's words directly confirmed the thoughts in his heart.

The conversion rate of the Overbearing Body for Cultivate resources was extremely high!

Immediately after.

He thought of another question.

60% in exchange for two levels of cultivation, compared to the roulette draw... "As the Host's cultivation improves, it is recommended to use Cultivate resources of equivalent or lower grades naturally."

A smile appeared on Lin Yan's face.

It was very clear and understandable.

The use of the roulette was to take a gamble when there were no resources on hand.

So he set the tone again.

While finding ways to obtain charge value, he also had to strive for high-level Cultivate resources. (Stir up trouble, hunt for treasure!)

He snapped his fingers.

Scientific.

Then what was he waiting for?

"Absorb."

As soon as he finished speaking.

Boom—!

An invisible hurricane suddenly appeared in the Cultivate room.

Like a fierce giant Dragon, it first swept over the Spirit Medicine and spirit fruits in the box.

They withered and shriveled at a speed visible to the naked eye, as if all life force had been drained instantly, with not a speck of spiritual matter left.

Immediately after, the hurricane rushed directly into Lin Yan's body.

Thump-thump... thump-thump... a heartbeat as loud as a war drum resounded.

His face turned flushed, and his body began to swell.

The feeling of meridians and blood surging like on the playground hit him again, and a powerful force instantly circulated throughout his body.

"Ding!"

The System prompt sounded.

"Absorption complete, consumed 60% of the overbearing charge value."

First Order, Eighth Level, achieved!

Not bad!

Lin Yan clenched his fists.

Cheating really was the way to go.

He took a few steps to the dynamometer in the Cultivate room and threw a straight punch.

Bang—!

26,737 kg. (Twenty-six Tigers)

The punch force standard of the Second Order, Second Level!

Lin Yan nodded with satisfaction.

Next.

It was the thing he had been longing for!

A spirit weapon, the most suitable weapon for a Martial Artist.

Only those scions of great Families could possess them.

People like Yuan Cheng and Yu Jiao, whose Families were merely well-off, couldn't afford them at all.

Most importantly, this one of his was a spirit weapon that could grow along with his cultivation.

Probably hasn't been seen on the entire Blue Star.

With a slight thought.

The Square Sky Halberd within the System space appeared in his right hand as if teleporting.

In an instant.

A bone-chilling coldness immediately spread from his palm to his entire body.

"Oh?"

He let out a soft exclamation of surprise.

"This weight... it's probably four or five thousand kilograms?"

"As expected of a heavy weapon."

With a flick of his right hand, he laid the Square Sky Halberd across both hands, his gaze slowly scanning over it.

The head of the halberd was shaped like double crescent blades, and the spear tip was incredibly sharp.

Lifelike Dragon patterns were carved onto the shaft of the halberd, exuding an awe-inspiring aura.

Two words involuntarily surfaced in Lin Yan's mind.

Majesty, Desolation.

"heavenly emperor halberd..."

Lin Yan murmured to himself.

In fact.

When he saw the three words "heavenly emperor halberd" appear when the System was activated, a hint of doubt had risen in his heart.

He wasn't doubting that the System could clearly know what weapon he liked and match it directly, but rather the name of this Square Sky Halberd.

"Heavenly Emperor."

One must know.

These two words were no ordinary terms.

From a Xuanhuan perspective, they involved significant Karma.

Not to mention, Lin Yan was a person from Huaxia.

The Jade Emperor?

Does this world have one?

In the year 2222 of the Blue Star, exotic beast Secret Realms shrouded the globe, and countless countries were destroyed.

After years of struggle, human powerhouses continued to emerge, clearing out one exotic beast Secret Realm after another in the inland. In the year 3000, they rebuilt the Blue Star, established the Alliance, and set up eighteen major coastal defense points. From then on, the humans of Blue Star entered a relatively stable period of development.

The time had also reached the year 888 of the New Calendar.

Which was the present time.

The history before the year 2222 of the Old Calendar... had long since been lost.

Lin Yan stroked the shaft of the halberd with his left hand.

He suddenly swung it toward the dynamometer.

Bang—!

32,855 kg.

No surprises there.

The data produced using a spirit weapon surged once again.

Immediately after.

Bursts of sharp whistling wind echoed in the Cultivate room.

The youth danced with the halberd, releasing his power to his heart's content.

His thoughts were simple.

Since he couldn't figure it out or see it clearly, it meant his strength was not yet enough, so there was no need to obsess over it... "Where's your weapon?"

Inside the hovercar, Duan Tiancheng looked at the leisurely youth before him.

"I brought it."

Lin Yan didn't even lift his head, withdrawing his gaze from outside the window, a faint smile tugging at the corners of his mouth.

It had been a long time since he had been this relaxed, gazing at the futuristic skyscrapers outside the car window, as well as the hovercars and city trains shuttling through the streets.

Even though he had been transmigrated for eighteen years, he was still captivated by this level of technology.

Brought it?

A hint of confusion flashed in Duan Tiancheng's eyes.

How come I didn't see it?

His heart jolted, and he immediately said.

"You have a spirit weapon?"

Lin Yan turned his head.

"Yeah."

From yesterday's actions, he felt that Old Man Duan was a decent person.

Furthermore, he would have to use a spirit weapon to fight sooner or later.

So there was nothing to keep secret.

Yeah?

Duan Tiancheng looked at his matter-of-fact expression, and the corners of his mouth twitched slightly.

Do you even hear what you're saying?

A spirit weapon!

Even he had to perform countless meritorious deeds for the organization to exchange for a fifth-grade one.

Isn't this kid an orphan? Where did he get it?

He has secrets.

Duan Tiancheng's eyes flickered slightly.

But he didn't pry.

Which Prodigy doesn't have secrets?

He was a principal, responsible only for providing talent for the education of the Dragon Country.

"That's fine then."

"You read the information I sent you, right?"

Lin Yan nodded and answered seriously.

"I read it."

"Anyi University, the top student, Jing..."

He had a thoughtful expression.

"Jing what was it again?"

Duan Tiancheng rubbed his temples.

"Jing Pengtian."

"He broke through to the Second Order a month ago."

Lin Yan realized.

"Right."

"That's him."

"And a Zuo..."

Duan Tiancheng took a deep breath.

"Zuo Zhu."

"She also broke through to the Second Order recently."

"Her strength should be about the same as yours."

"You only need to be careful of these two."

Lin Yan nodded seriously.

"Okay, Principal."

A hint of gratification flashed in Duan Tiancheng's eyes.

This kid was sensible after all.

"You, of all people."

"I said it's just an exchange; now, let alone the spirit fruits, you probably haven't even finished absorbing the Spirit Medicine, right?"

"If you had listened to me and first..."

The sound of nagging filled the hovercar.

Lin Yan nodded while thinking.

Which move should I use to finish it later?

Wing Chun Inch Power, Xingyi Crushing Fist, Baji Heart-Piercing Elbow, Taiji Shoulder Strike, Yan Wang's Three Point Hand, Fierce Tiger Climbing the Mountain, Ten-Route Tan Leg... He remembered the information said that Zuo Zhu was a girl.

He recalled the feeling of using the heart-piercing elbow on Xi Leng, Shen Han, and Miao Yun.

Should I give her an elbow strike too?

As for that Jing guy, I'll just slam his head.

Hmm... Duan Tiancheng watched Lin Yan listening carefully to his lecture, a "teachable student" expression appearing on his face.

Not bad.

He picked up his teacup and took a sip.

At the same time.

An intelligent voice prompt sounded inside the hovercar.

"Arrived at Anyi University."

Duan Tiancheng looked at the welcoming party already waiting outside the window and said earnestly once more.

"I reckon you'll have no problem tangling with that Zuo Zhu for a bit."

"But you must be careful with Jing Pengtian."

"If you can't win, just admit defeat."

"The Freshman Grand Competition is coming up soon; don't get injured."

Lin Yan looked up with a serious expression.

"Okay, Principal."

Duan Tiancheng nodded.

"Let's go."
