Chapter 247: The Pugnacious Gifted Academy

Liu Yan’s deeds quickly caused a commotion within the Gifted Academy.

Although no one had personally witnessed the battle situation, Zheng Tainan and the other two were defeated by Liu Yan alone in a short time.

Zheng Tainan and the other two weren’t weak at all, and they were ranked at the very top within the Gifted Academy. Zheng Tainan was ranked in the top 30.

Very quickly, there was a rumor circulating within the Gifted Academy that Liu Yan had a combat strength of level 50.

Within the Gifted Academy, the combat strength of a student was generally assessed based on the standard of an ordinary student.

Like Zheng Tainan, who was ranked in the top 30, his actual level was only level 40, but his combat strength had reached the combat strength of an ordinary student at level 45. Hence, Zheng Tainan’s combat strength was assessed at level 45.

Combat strength was not equal to level. An expert with exceptional talent would have a combat strength far higher than his actual level.

And students with average talent would have a combat strength level lower than their actual level.

In such a short period, Liu Yan had defeated Zheng Tainan, whose combat strength was at level 45. In addition, he also defeated Liu Qing and Liu Ning.

Many students of the Gifted Academy guessed that Liu Yan’s combat strength was at least at level 50.

After all, only when one’s combat strength had reached level 50, far surpassing Zheng Tainan, would one be able to finish off Zheng Tainan and the other two in such a short period.

There were even many students who guessed that Liu Yan’s combat strength was above level 50.

Many students in Gifted Academy discussed Liu Yan’s exaggerated combat strength.

“Is this for real? Is Liu Yan’s combat strength that exaggerated?”

“Didn’t they say that the Lighthouse Academy’s students did not perform really well these past two years? Liu Yan is a freshman, yet his combat strength is so strong?”

“Logically speaking, since he could defeat Zheng Tainan and the other two so quickly, he should have powerful combat strength.”

“This is bad. If this is the case, wouldn’t Liu Yan be able to charge into the top 30? Wouldn’t our academy’s reward fall onto Liu Yan?”

“I don’t think he’s that strong. We’ll keep an eye on him.”

“…”

Many students of the Gifted Academy were amazed by Liu Yan’s strength, but most of them didn’t believe that Liu Yan had such power.

Some students of the Gifted Academy were also quite worried. After all, if Liu Yan could directly reach the top 30 of the Gifted Academy, he would take away the rewards that belonged to their academy.

On the other side, Liu Yan was in the dormitory. He was rejoicing over the shocking talent of his new body.

Just now, after Liu Yan had used the Divine Extraction to extract the Angry Buddha Purple Lotus and the pile of cultivation consumables that he had obtained from Chu Long. His level suddenly rose by eight levels, reaching level 28.

Following that, Liu Yan also checked his attributes panel. After seeing the improved attributes, he was indeed a little surprised.

Liu Yan, who had built a perfect foundation and reconstructed his physical body, had only increased his attribute by 20-30 points when he had upgraded his grade. He had a lower-grade talent, but it was not too bad.

Generally, the better one’s talent was, the more attributes would increase every time they leveled up.

For martial arts prodigies like Murong Xue, every time she upgraded her grade, her single attribute would increase by more than 100 points.

After rebuilding his body, Liu Yan took a closer look and was surprised to find that he obtained a few hundred attribute points after the level up.

After upgrading his level by eight levels, Liu Yan’s single attribute had increased by a few thousand points, allowing his various attribute points to break through 10,000. His strength also increased by quite a bit.

Such an outstanding talent truly surprised Liu Yan. The perfect foundation was indeed worthy of its effect. His new physical body had truly exceeded his expectations.

In the past, Liu Yan’s talent was ordinary, and the only way to increase his attribute points was to rely on his Divine Extraction talent.

But now, his talent had become incredibly outstanding. He could quickly increase his strength by using his physical strength talent. In addition to the incredible buff from his Divine Extraction, his strength would definitely increase rapidly.

For the remaining time, Liu Yan rested in the dormitory.

According to the academy, the test would start tomorrow. The students would begin to charge towards the fourth level of the Tower. Right now, Liu Yan needed to recuperate, store his energy, and adjust his condition.

It wasn’t until the night that Liu Yan headed to the Gifted Academy’s cafeteria to eat.

Although there was quite a lot of food in his storage ring, it was mainly dry food. It wasn’t a problem for him to fill his stomach, but the dry food did not taste good.

Liu Yan had just arrived at the Gifted Academy’s cafeteria. He was just about to get some food when he heard the sounds of fighting coming from not too far away. He went over to check on the situation.

When he got closer, Liu Yan realized that it was two students from the Choice Academy. They were in a conflict and immediately started fighting in the cafeteria.

The sound of fighting immediately attracted many students.

The two people in the middle continued to fight. They punched each other quite hard. Both sides had already suffered some injuries.

Seeing this, the surrounding staff of the Gifted Academy only took a glance at the situation before turning their attention away. It was as if they were already used to this.

At this moment, the surrounding students started to jeer.

“Right, right, right. Beat him up, beat him up.”

“Are you guys just playing around? Put more effort! You guys only have such minor injuries after fighting for so long.”

“That’s right. Can you guys be more serious?”

“Beat him up, hurry up, and beat him up!”

“…”

The surrounding students of the Gifted Academy actually started to cheer. Not only did they not stop the two students, they even encouraged the two of them to continue fighting. They even hoped that the battle between them would become even fiercer.

Liu Yan was slightly surprised. He looked at the surrounding students of the Gifted Academy. Liu Yan could see the excitement and desire for battle on their faces.

At this moment, Liu Yan could finally feel the difference between the Gifted Academy and the Lighthouse Academy.

In the Lighthouse Academy, it was forbidden for students to fight amongst themselves. If students were fighting amongst themselves due to conflicts, they would be stopped by the academy’s officials.

Generally speaking, students of the Lighthouse Academy could only fight in the arena. They could not fight in private and advocated harmony and unity.

However, in the Gifted Academy, it was the opposite.

The staff members watched the fight between students. Not only did they not stop it, they even started to watch the show. It seemed that they had seen this kind of situation many times before.

The surrounding students of the Gifted Academy were cheering at the sides. They encouraged the two to continue fighting and hoped they would fight even more fiercely.

There was a clear difference between the ethos of the two academies.

Liu Yan felt that this might not be a bad thing.

The Lighthouse Academy placed great emphasis on harmony and advocated cooperation. It would be of great help to the subsequent students in their battle cooperation.

However, it was inevitable that some of the students would lose some of their vigors.

Over the years, there were indeed quite many students from Lighthouse Academy who performed well in the academy. However, after they entered the higher levels of the Tower, accidents frequently occurred. Perhaps this had something to do with it.
