Chapter 72: Chapter 70: On the Eve of the Team Battle

The morning passed quickly.

Although there were some accidents in between, Ye Mingqiu still successfully mastered three Universal Techniques: Wind Walking Skill, Lighting Skill, Healing Skill, and various mutated spells, gaining a lot.

He looked at the time on his communication device.

10:21

There is still a long time until noon dismissal, so he decided to take a shower first and then head to the cafeteria to casually eat something before returning to continue training. While walking, he can wear headphones to listen to magic courses or deduce spells, making the most of every second.

As he walked to the corner of the stairs, Ye Mingqiu found someone there, and it was Xiaoguang whom he had seen in the morning.

At this moment, Xiaoguang was casually leaning on the corridor’s railing, holding the Gorgeous Staff in his arms, his eyes cold and hostile as he looked at Ye Mingqiu, placing the staff horizontally at the stair’s entrance.

“Wait a minute.”

“Hmm?”

Ye Mingqiu was a bit puzzled, not knowing what this guy wanted to do, but he could feel that although this guy still had hostility towards him, it had faded considerably since the morning.

The reason was simple. After Xiaoguang returned to the classroom, she gradually calmed down. She felt it was too presumptuous to assume something was going on between Tang Ruobing and that boy. After all, Tang Ruobing didn’t seem like the type to do such things.

If nothing unexpected happens, Sister Ruobing should genuinely only be trying to teach the right magic. Her compliments on talent weren’t actually very sincere, just niceties, as they were teammates.

Moreover, after becoming a Spiritualist, one would receive professional energy infusion, improving basic attributes, and enhancing basic qualifications, making it much easier to learn magic. The Support System often has a spiritual specialty, so it was normal for her to teach her Support System teammate magic.

Her earlier reluctance for me to come wasn’t because of anything unspeakable, just simply because she found me talkative and troublesome.

Sigh!

By now, Xiaoguang’s emotions had calmed down, and her hostility towards Ye Mingqiu naturally dissipated.

Even so, she still didn’t like others getting too close to Tang Ruobing. Ye Mingqiu practicing in Tang Ruobing’s exclusive training room all morning made her uncomfortable.

So, she squinted and moved forward, carefully sniffing Ye Mingqiu’s scent, her gaze and expression like a tigress stalking in a forest.

Hmph!

Sure enough, this guy…

Hmm? Something’s wrong! Why is this scent so strong! It’s overwhelmingly strong! This is clearly Sister Ruobing’s scent!

“Ah… ah… ah ah ah!!”

Xiaoguang stumbled back a few steps, almost falling down the stairs, her expression one of sheer horror and despair. Her chest heaved with rapid breaths, and her pupils quivered wildly.

In the end, she stepped aside and dashed toward Tang Ruobing’s exclusive training room.

“Hmm… this kid’s mental state isn’t quite right, I’ll have to talk to Chen Ran about it later, sigh.” Ye Mingqiu crossed his arms, frowning slightly as he muttered to himself.

…

The time spent concentrating on training always flies by, and in the blink of an eye, a week had passed. During this time, Ye Mingqiu persisted in daily studies of magic’s basic theory and practice, attempting to derive and construct new spells, greatly enhancing his comprehensive practical abilities.

During this period, he also regrouped with the college entrance examination preparation team for a round of Little Spirit Realm exploration, earning over two thousand spiritual points, much higher than his previous earnings.

Because his aura grew stronger again.

Indestructible: Allies within a hundred meters continuously recover 3% of their life and 3% spiritual energy per minute, with this effect doubled for himself.

His current life is 1599, which means the bonus for Lei Peng, Lin Feng, and others is 47.97 life restored per minute.

Ke Fanxing has only a little over 100 life in total! The aura restores 47.97 per minute!

This trumps rapid regeneration!

When others asked why Ye Mingqiu’s aura effect improved so much, he simply answered that after exploring the Spirit Realm, he upgraded, and the props for his early entry were given by Tang Ruobing.

Lei Peng and the other two stopped asking more, only looking at him with increasing admiration.

Additionally, the [Basic Agility] Ye Mingqiu bought from the Floating World Commerce Association finally arrived, and he complemented the last part of his passive four-dimensional basic attributes.

Basic Agility

Tier: ★★★

Level: Level 1

Effect: Body Basic Potential +1, movement speed increased by 5%, reaction speed increased by 5%, attack speed increased by 5%.

[Current Universal Skill Slots: 4/5]

As a result, Ye Mingqiu has used up four of his universal skill slots, and he hasn’t decided what skill to learn for the last slot. Ideally, he would like to learn a Scholarly skill from the Magic System, directly adding a universal skill slot, which has a very good effect.

But generally speaking, [Scholarly] as a universal skill is exclusive to Mages for two reasons. First: the drop rate is too low, ordinary people simply can’t get it. Second: there are prerequisites for learning Scholarly, and they’re quite peculiar, requiring that the user has a sufficient amount of basic knowledge.

Generally, only Mages can meet the requirements for using [Scholarly], as other professions’ professionals typically wouldn’t learn that much knowledge.

And this is another reason why Ye Mingqiu wants to study knowledge before entering the Spirit Realm.

Knowledge is power!

If he could learn Scholarly, it would be a big earn!

However, obtaining the Scholarly skill book is still quite challenging. It’s a particularly rare treasure for Mages and can fetch astronomical prices at auction houses, with a single skill slot having immense value, both early and late game.

Ye Mingqiu glanced at his remaining spiritual points, now totaling 11451, and it’s best to always maintain a balance of 10,000 spiritual points moving forward.

Because in the Spirit Realm Mall, the Scholarly skill book is priced at 10,000 spiritual points, and many people can get the Scholarly skill book early from the Spirit Realm Mall, but due to insufficient spiritual points, they can’t buy it, thus missing out on unexpected wealth.

It’s unavoidable.

Under normal circumstances, the earnings from a single world exploration by an ordinary low-level spiritualist are not high, with 5000 spiritual points being considered good, and without prior savings, it’s impossible to gather 10,000 spiritual points.

Normally, Spirit Realm explorations yield higher returns with greater strength, and thinking about saving spiritual points under such circumstances is akin to a gambler, who most likely ends up with nothing.

…

Exclusive Training Room

Tang Ruobing watched Ye Mingqiu, who had solved math problems for a full six hours and was stuck on a difficult one, spinning his pen while thinking, and softly said, “Actually, you don’t have to feel much pressure. Even if we lose this team battle, I have a way to win next time.”

“Pressure?”

Ye Mingqiu looked up, puzzledly at Tang Ruobing and asked, “Do I look stressed to you?”

“You’ve been studying for quite a while.”

“It’s not pressure, studying makes me stronger, and I like the feeling of becoming stronger, it’s a joy.”

“Then keep it up.”

“Hmm.”
