Chapter 31 Dragon Skill, Dragon Scale
The four admissions officers were flustered by Lu Yu's firm response and quickly tried to dissuade him.
"Student Lu Yu, you have to think it through. Clanorth University doesn't lack talent, and they won't treasure you like us."
"Come to our university, and you will have a brighter future. At Clanorth University, you will only become someone mundane."
The four of them moved closer to Lu Yu and looked at him eagerly.
Lu Yu paused for a moment before shaking his head slightly. "No, I've already made my decision. I have to enroll at Clanorth University. Thank you for attending. Please return."
1
After saying this, the few people in charge of enrollment at their respective universities looked at each other and gave up their futile efforts.
They could tell that Lu Yu had a strong mind. Lu Yu would become even more opposed to their invitations if they continued to discourage him.
"We'll be leaving first. You should think about it more."
"The benefits I mentioned just now will always be there. As long as you come to us, those benefits will be ready for you anytime."
"If you change your mind, contact me."
Those admissions officers walked out of the VIP room one after another. When the homeroom teacher saw them leaving, he instantly panicked.
"Lu Yu, these few schools are already the best in the country. Can't you choose one?"
"It's fine if you insist on going to Clanorth University, but what if you can't get in? What will you do then?"
"When the time comes, you've got to go to a university you rejected. How awkward would that be?"
Lu Yu looked at his homeroom teacher and said calmly but firmly, "For me, once I've decided what I want to do, I must do my best!"
"It's the same with picking a university."
"Why not try my hardest to get into Clanorth University now that I have the ability and the opportunity?"
Lu Yu's retort left the homeroom teacher speechless. "Alright, then I won't say anything more…"
The fact that Lu Yu had won first place in the entire state had already made the homeroom teacher proud.
1
He did not have the right to ask for anything more.
Lu Yu turned around and walked out of the VIP room.
At the same time, the class was in chaos.
Many people were discussing Lu Yu animatedly. Some guessed why Lu Yu was called out, while others speculated why Lu Yu was so strong.
A student who had sneaked out ran in at that moment.
"Everyone, I just witnessed an incredible scene!"
Everyone went silent as they looked at that student.
"I noticed a few luxury cars at the school gate and then crept up to the VIP room. Can you guess who I saw?"
"It's admissions officers from the country's top five universities! The officer from Clanorth University isn't here, but the other four are!"
2
"They must be attempting to entice Lu Yu to enrol!"
There was an uproar the moment these words were spoken.
"Shit, are you for real? The top four universities are sending people to get Lu Yu to enroll. What kind of treatment is this?"
"Lu Yu is too amazing to have so many prestigious universities vying for him!"
"I'm so jealous. Why is it that even though we both have F-level talent, I'm so lacking?"
"I really wish that someone from a famous university would come and beg me!"
"Oh right, did Lu Yu agree? Which university did he agree to?"
Everyone expected Lu Yu to accept a place at one of these universities.
After all, receiving an invitation from one of the top four universities was already very satisfying for an F-level Awakener.
There was no reason to reject them, in their opinion.
However, the student who broke the news had a bitter expression on his face because he didn't know where to begin.
"I accidentally overheard the conversation of a few admissions officers. Lu Yu… didn't enroll in any of their universities!"
The students were all taken aback when they heard this response.
"What? Not a single one?"
"What kind of joke is this? Is Lu Yu crazy? Why isn't he cherishing such a good opportunity?"
"This… This is such a waste! If I had such a good opportunity, I would definitely go!"
"If four top universities invited me, I would probably laugh in my sleep!"
"What happened after that? What was Lu Yu thinking?"
The person continued, "I heard their conversation and found out why Lu Yu didn't go. It's because he wanted to attend Clanorth University."
"What? Clanorth University?"
"Is he serious? Clanorth University is extremely strict in recruiting new students. Although he is the best in the state, there is still the second half of exams."
"His ranking is excellent, but his F-level talent alone ensured that he would not be admitted to Clanorth University. Those who can gain admission to the best universities in the country have at least B-level talent!"
"Sigh… it appears that he has inflated his ego solely because of his good results. It's quite common."
Many others sighed as well. They thought Lu Yu had changed into someone with an inflated ego.
Lu Yu, on the other hand, had always been this way. They were the ones who never understood him.
…
Lu Yu left the campus and prepared to return home after exiting the VIP room.
The second stage of the examinations was scheduled for tomorrow. Lu Yu still had time to prepare today.
Coincidentally, he had not completed his daily mission today.
He ran all the way home. When he reached home, the daily mission was completed and a notification popped up.
[ Congratulations on completing the daily mission. (10km/10km) ]
[ Please choose your reward ]
Lu Yu selected the Treasure Chest and saw a notification.
[ Congratulations on obtaining a gold treasure chest! ]
Lu Yu was a little excited when he saw the notification. He had previously obtained a bronze treasure chest and was finally getting lucky to obtain a higher-tier treasure chest.
Lu Yu opened the treasure chest.
[ Congratulations on obtaining the Dragon Skill: Dragon Scale! ]
Dragon Scale: A strengthened dragon scale will cover both of your arms. It greatly reduces the damage from water and fire elements. As you level up, you will gain resistance to other elemental damage. ]
It appeared to be a defensive skill.
It meant that at least half of the damage could be mitigated by greatly reducing the damage. It's a pretty impressive skill.
The dragon skill from the Golden Treasure Chest became a bright light and entered Lu Yu's body.
After a burst of energy, Lu Yu mastered the dragon skill.
This dragon skill appeared to be unique to him, as it did not appear on a stone tablet.
Lu Yu intended to test the Dragon Scale skill's effect after learning it because he could cast fire and water elemental attacks on his own.
After all, Lu Yu had the Water and Fire Wrist Guard.
Hence, flames engulfed his right fist when Lu Yu raised it.
2
The next moment, Lu Yu activated his skill, Dragon Scale.
Lu Yu's arms were instantly covered in a layer of black and hard dragon scales.
1
Then, Lu Yu's right fist punched onto his left wrist along with the flames on it.
Bang!
The fire elemental attack was instantly activated when he punched with his right fist.
The flames engulfed his left wrist and began to burn.
But very quickly, the scales absorbed the flames, dissolved and disappeared.
1
Lu Yu was overjoyed. This Dragon Scale skill effectively mitigated water and fire elemental attacks!
Then, Lu Yu used his left fist and punched his right wrist.
The situation was the same as the first time. It was quickly dissolved and absorbed.
1
After Lu Yu finished casting the Dragon Scale skill, he realized that if the beast he would be pitted against in the next match was of a fire or water type, he could take first place again!
Chapter 32 Harsh Examinations, Battle Royale
The following day, Lu Yu woke up early and went to school.
As soon as he entered the classroom, Lu Yu saw that his classmates were looking at him strangely.
As soon as Lu Yu entered the classroom, someone asked, "Lu Yu, do you really plan to attend Clanorth University?"
"Is that true? Wouldn't it be awkward if you didn't get in? Aren't you afraid of that?"
At that moment, Su Qing also cast a curious gaze. Even she wasn't confident that she would be able to attend Clanorth University.
She didn't get it. Where was Lu Yu getting his confidence from?
Lu Yu looked at the class and explained, "I've already made up my mind. My goal is Clanorth University. Since I'm going to enter a university, I might as well try to enter the best."
The class did not ask any further questions after hearing Lu Yu's response, despite the fact that they did not believe Lu Yu would be admitted to Clanorth University.
The homeroom teacher walked in and said to everyone, "Students, come out and get ready for today's exam!"
The students stood up one after another and walked towards the school field.
Wan Guliu and the array mages were already ready in the middle of the field.
Mysterious patterns were formed and condensed into a mysterious space as a result of the array mages' energy manipulation.
Wa Guliu stood in front of the podium and looked at the crowd.
"I will pick the top 100 from the rankings determined yesterday."
"Hundreds of high-level array mages have formed a new space and simulated a large plain."
"Everyone should know the previous examination rules, right?"
Everyone nodded.
"The old rules are that each person will fight with a ferocious beast, and the score will be based on the battle."
"But in actual combat, it's impossible for a ferocious beast to fight with you in a well-controlled arena. Therefore, in this exam, all of you will enter the enchantment array and kill ferocious beasts in the simulated plain!"
Hearing this, all the students started panicking.
"Eh? How did the rules change to this?"
"I've always been training in the training ground, and never been in the wild."
"We are going to have actual combat in the wild? That's not good. What if there's an accident?"
1
"Damn, my training in the training grounds has been in vain. If I had known, I would have gone to the wild to have a few actual combat sessions."
"It's over. It's over. The results will definitely be terrible this time…"
Su Qing frowned slightly in the crowd. She, too, was a little nervous. She had been training in her own training grounds and had not participated in any actual battles.
Most people were not pleased with this rule change.
When Lu Yu heard this new rule, he smiled faintly.
Ever since he awakened, he had never been to the training ground. He had only experienced actual combat.
Therefore, the rule change meant nothing to Lu Yu.
"A hundred ferocious beasts will be released into the array," Wan Guliu continued. The ferocious beasts will be distributed at random across the plains. The strength of the ferocious beasts will increase as the number of people inside the simulation decreases!"
"In other words, when all but one of the students are gone, the remaining ferocious beasts will be at their most powerful state!"
Hearing the word 'eliminated', the students were a little flustered.
"Eliminated? Did the exam become an elimination system this time?"
"Wasn't it 1v1 in the past? I thought it would be the same this time."Could it be that we're all going to be thrown in? This is just pitting us against each other!"
Some people could already foresee the situation where they would sabotage each other to increase their ranking.
Wan Guliu explained, "Don't worry, you won't have the chance to fight. Just dealing with those ferocious beasts is something you can all already barely handle."
Many people gulped, becoming even more fearful.
"This barrier will shrink as time goes by. In the end, you will be gathered together to complete the exam!"
"If you are not in the circle when the barrier shrinks, you will be automatically eliminated."
1
After Wan Guliu finished speaking, the rules' introduction was over. The students began to discuss amongst themselves.
"This is ridiculous. This elimination system is too harsh."
"When the circle shrinks to the end, won't we have to fight each other?"
"You've got to be unearthly to come out first in such an examination!"
Some were sad, some were worried, and some were excited.
Lu Yu, on the other hand, was still very calm. No matter what the rules were, he could quickly adapt.
"Next, everyone please enter the barrier. From now on, the exam begins!"
Following Wan Guliu's command, everyone began walking toward the array's center.
Class One took the initiative and entered the array. They vanished after entering the ball of light.
Soon after, Lu Yu's class, Class Two, began moving forward and entering the enchantment barrier.
Lu Yu looked at the ball of light in front of him and slowly walked in.
Only a dozen people from Class Two were chosen for the second stage of the exams, and Su Qing was one of them.
"Lu Yu, after entering, let's band together," one of them said as he approached Lu Yu's side. "We can look after each other this way."
When the others heard this suggestion, they immediately came over as well.
From the first match yesterday, Lu Yu's strength was undoubtedly the strongest here.
If they could rely on him, they could at least enter the top 50, maybe even the top 30 in the rankings.
When Su Qing heard this, she also looked at Lu Yu.
"We're all in the same class. It's better for us to take care of each other."
"It depends on the situation," Lu Yu said, nodding slightly. "There's a good chance we'll be teleported at random."
Hearing Lu Yu's words, the few of them realised that they would not be teleported in as a class. Otherwise, the exam wouldn't be much of an individual assessment.
"What a pity, oh well…"
"I hope we can meet Lu Yu as soon as we enter…"
"Good luck, everyone. I hope we can all get a good ranking…"
A few of them stepped into the ball of light and disappeared on the spot.
The few remaining classes entered one after another. Soon, the initially crowded square became empty.
At that moment, a few luxury cars drove in.
The four admissions officers who came to visit yesterday took the lead in getting out of their cars.
Other luxury cars followed closely behind, and admissions officers from various universities emerged.
After they arrived, they found the seats for the audience and sat down in them.
A large holographic screen appeared above the array formation in the sky and was projected in front of everyone's eyes at that moment.
They could see what was going on inside the array formation as well as the students' performance on this screen.
Everyone could see a few large areas that had been divided on this large screen.
Weaker vicious beasts were located in the outermost area and were easier to deal with.
Students would be less in danger if they were teleported to the outside area. They would, however, be at a slight disadvantage if they were teleported to the outer area. They'd have to sprint to the centre of the circle.
The ferocious beasts were more dangerous and stronger in the center area. The advantages were the polar opposite of those in the surrounding area. They had no reason to rush into the circle.
Everyone could see when someone had chosen their teleportation point and entered the plains on the screen.
Meanwhile, Lu Yu was making his decision. His selection was also the one that the admissions officers were most interested in.
Chapter 33 The Center, The Peak, The Most Dangerous Position
Outside the simulation, dozens of admissions officers stared intently at the holographic screen.
Their hands appeared to be taking notes as if they were rating the students.
"I heard that this year's dark horse is called Lu Yu. Is that true?"
"Of course. The four great universities personally tried to invite him over. That's enough to state the importance of Lu Yu."
"I heard that Lu Yu rejected the four great universities in one go!"
"Damn, wouldn't our universities have even less hope of recruiting him?"
"Who knows what the situation is like. I heard that Lu Yu only has F-level talent!"
The people in charge of recruitment were all taken aback. They couldn't understand how someone with an F-level talent could achieve such high results and attract competition from four prestigious universities.
It appears that Lu Yu was definitely not an ordinary person!
Everyone saw the teleportation point that Lu Yu had chosen at that moment.
The location was just right in the middle.
"Wait a minute, he's the only one out of a hundred people who chose to land in the middle!"
"Is he that sure of himself? The center area would be the most difficult, with ferocious beasts all around. He won't be able to handle it on his own!"
"He should follow the flow and choose somewhere closer to the edge. This is too reckless!"
"Sigh, it wouldn't be strange even if he got killed by accident."
"The center area is the mountain range. The resources available there are many times more than the edge area!"
"However, the strength of the ferocious beasts there is also many times stronger. The risk is too high!"
The majority of the admissions officers were not impressed with Lu Yu. They don't expect that he would be able to survive in the central area.
Lu Yu was enveloped in light after making his decision.
When the light around him dispersed, he was already in a simulated world.
Lush trees surround the surrounding mountains. The fresh air in the forest made Lu Yu feel at ease.
He was surprised by how realistic the world created by those array mages was. It was exactly like the real world.
Lu Yu knew the rules. He knew that he was in the center and that danger lurked everywhere. Therefore, Lu Yu carefully observed his surroundings. He decided first to understand the situation around him and figure out the strength of the surrounding ferocious beasts.
At that moment, outside the arena, the admissions officers had already noticed Lu Yu's actions.
"In this simulated world, the danger at the center of the circle is no less than that of a Difficult level dungeon."
1
"That's right, that's right. A Difficult level dungeon will only have one boss who is quite powerful. However, there will be more than one boss in this vast plain!"
"Lu Yu has only awakened for a few days, right? I reckon he hasn't even seen a boss before. What a reckless person."
"I reckon he thinks that the boss is about as strong as those small monsters. Most likely, he's going to lose his first place in the entire state rankings."
The admissions officers communicated with one another and were confident that Lu Yu's results would be poor this time.
On the other hand, Lu Yu had already begun his search for bosses in the simulated array world.
The ordinary monsters in this place were no longer worthy of his attention.
Lu Yu looked around the surrounding mountains and finally focused on the mountain peak at the center.
At the top of the mountain peak, waves of red light flashed.
Lu Yu examined the situation with his Eye of Truth and immediately received the information.
[ Fire Spirit Crystal, rare material ]
It was a scarce material!
Lu Yu was ecstatic. Furthermore, he appeared to have an impression of this material.
1
He quickly opened his personal interface to check his evolution path.
He soon came across the Flaming Dragon Claw on the Dragon Claw Evolution Path, and this Fire Spirit Crystal was a rare material that would allow him to evolve into the Flaming Dragon Claw!
1
Lu Yu was immediately motivated after seeing this. He needed to climb up and retrieve the Fire Spirit Crystal.
However, his previous experience had taught him that a powerful boss usually guarded this type of rare material.
Hence, Lu Yu began to rush toward the top of the mountain.[ Speed: 110 ]
[ Health: 260 ]
[ Mana: 120 ]
[ Defense: 120 ]
These attributes weren't anything special to Lu Yu.
However, just 120 points in defense were enough to render the other students powerless!
After all, the majority of the students had fewer than 100 attack points, and very few had Armor Penetration skills.
Chapter 34 Shocking Audience, Easy Kill
The people outside the simulated world saw the flame lizard that appeared in front of Lu Yu.
When they saw this lizard, they immediately concluded that Lu Yu would never be able to defeat it!
"He provoked a monster that he shouldn't have. Lu Yu is probably going to die."
"That's right. He definitely can't beat this lizard. I'm afraid he'll shout to stop the examination and have the array mages send him out in a short while."
"He shouldn't have sent himself to the center from the start. He shouldn't have been so greedy in his pursuit of the rare materials. Sigh…"
Everyone repeatedly sighed, feeling sorry for Lu Yu.
At the same time, Lu Yu and the Giant Flame Lizard were in a confrontation.
The flame lizard opened its mouth and spat out a bunch of hot flames, burning the plants in front of it into ashes.
The high temperature surged over instantly and made Lu Yu clench his fists.
The next moment, Lu Yu rushed towards the flame lizard.
The flame lizard roared and rushed toward Lu Yu too.
Lu Yu leaped into the air over the flaming lizard, charging toward the Fire Spirit Crystal just as they were about to collide!
When the flaming lizard saw Lu Yu leap over its head, it turned around and chased him down.
Lu Yu, who was in mid-air at the time, followed up with a double jump, completely distancing himself from the flaming lizard.
Lu Yu was now nearly ten meters above the ground!
When the crowd saw that Lu Yu could jump so high, they were all surprised.
"Lu Yu can jump so high. Was he specially trained before?"
"Didn't you see? He jumped again in mid-air. It's obvious that this is a double jump!"
It looks like he used this skill pretty well. He sure can jump high…"
Lu Yu soared into the air at the same time, heading straight for the Fire Spirit Crystal.
Lu Yu used his Dragon Scale skill to cover his arms in a thick layer of dark black dragon scales!
Lu Yu then fell head first, landing vertically toward the Fire Spirit Crystal. At the same time, he pointed to the Fire Spirit Crystal on the ground with his finger!
The point of impact for Lu Yu's landing was a single finger. When his index finger touched the Fire Spirit Crystal, it transformed into a ray of light and vanished into his storage ring.
Lu Yu supported himself on the ground with his single finger. Then he pushed off, somersaulting and landing back on his feet.
This series of moves was shown to the crowd outside the arena.
"What did he do? Acrobatics?"
"Whoa, he got the Fire Spirit Crystal so easily. Pretty decent."
"Wow, he uses a single finger to support himself on the ground. He's pretty strong."
"Yeah, I can see that he is an outstanding student. If he can be recruited into our school, it will be an addition to our university's talent."
"No wonder he was invited by the four famous universities. This kid is not ordinary."
Everyone complimented him. They were astounded by Lu Yu's efforts to steal the Fire Spirit Crystal.
However, they still did not think Lu Yu could defeat the Giant Flame Lizard.
Lu Yu obtained the materials with his graceful movements. If he could escape, this trip would have been worthwhile. He would, however, be in over his head if he attempted to kill the Giant Flame Lizard.
Lu Yu walked in the opposite direction just as everyone thought he was about to leave after obtaining the materials.
Everyone looked around and saw Lu Yu approaching the Giant Fire Lizard.
"Is he crazy? He has the material. Why isn't he leaving?"
"He was going to make a profit, but now he's going to get himself killed."
"Does he really think that he's a match for the boss?"
Everyone was perplexed. They believed that Lu Yu was not acting rationally and that such a person was doomed to fail.
The admissions officers sighed and shook their heads. Lu Yu's decision let them down.
On the other hand, Lu Yu was not afraid of the Giant Fire Lizard in front of him.
When the treasure it was guarding was stolen, the Giant Fire Lizard became enraged.
It rushed toward Lu Yu and opened its bloodstained mouth simultaneously. A high-temperature flame was brewing from it once again.
Fwoosh!
A ball of dazzling orange-red flame shot out from the giant lizard's mouth!
Lu Yu quickly dodged when he saw this!
Then he stretched his hands, and sharp claws sprouted from his fingers!
His arms were covered in dragon scales, and his claws were sharp enough to make anyone shudder. No one would ever want to fight those sharp claws.
When the admissions officers saw Lu Yu's razor-sharp claws, they began to speculate.
"That is the F-level talent, Claw Attack?"
"What kind of joke is this? No matter how you look at it, it doesn't look like an F-level talent!"
"This… This is clearly a dragon claw!"
"What? It's a Dragon Claw?"
Everyone cried out in surprise.
Dragons were uncommon in this world. The majority of them had never seen a dragon claw before.
However, they were all aware that anything related to dragons was not to be taken lightly.
"This pair of sharp claws looks extremely terrifying…"
…
Lu Yu unsheathed his claws and charged toward the Giant Fire Lizard.
He burst out at full speed, and in the blink of an eye, Lu Yu was in front of the Giant Fire Lizard!
Lu Yu then swung his right hand and ruthlessly clawed down!
The Giant Fire Lizard retreated and began to prepare its mouth for the next flame breath.
However, in Lu Yu's opinion, its speed was no different than that of a slow-motion movie!
Swoosh!
Lu Yu slashed down with his claws, severing a large chunk of the Giant Fire Lizard's flesh!
Squelch!
Fresh blood spurted forth, forming a bloody mist in an instant.
"Hiss!!!"
The Giant Flame Lizard cried out in agony, spitting flames from its mouth once more!
Lu Yu moved in close, denying it the opportunity to use its flame attack any further.
Swish! Swoosh!
Lu Yu split open the Giant Flame Lizard's chest with two more claw attacks!
Its ribs broke, revealing the Giant Fire Lizard's heart.
Lu Yu reached his claw over without hesitation, grabbing the Giant Fire Lizard's heart and severing it from its body.
Without its heart, the Giant Fire Lizard fell to the ground, dead.
Suddenly, a notification appeared in front of Lu Yu's eyes.
[ Congratulations on killing the Giant Fire Lizard, Dragon Scale Skill has been upgraded, enhanced effect: 100% fire damage immunity ]
Lu Yu was overjoyed when he saw the notification. He was now completely immune to fire damage!
1
In the future, he could basically be able to fight any enemy that had fire damage and come out unharmed!
Since fire damage was ineffective, the enemy would only be able to use physical attacks at most.
Lu Yu was excited. He opened the evolution panel and wanted to see what materials he needed.
His feat was broadcast to the audience outside at the same time.
In the audience stands, the admissions officers from various renowned universities were dumbfounded. The entire place was silent.
"Just like that… It's over?"
"He only attacked the lizard a few times. It's over in a flash."
"This… seems like a one-sided fight…"
"Am I dreaming? Is this real?"
"What kind of anomaly has appeared in this batch of rookies?"
"I can only describe him with the word 'crazy'. What kind of strength does he have?"
"My understanding has already collapsed. I don't understand how an F-level talent can outperform a large group of A-level talents."
"What… What is he doing now? This is too crazy!"
Everyone stared at the screen in shock!
Chapter 35 Evolution, Flaming Dragon Claw
4
All the admissions officers looked at the screen again. They were all perplexed after seeing what Lu Yu was going to do.
Lu Yu was sitting on the ground on the screen, surrounded by dancing flames.
When the Giant Flame Lizard died, its blood splattered on the ground, igniting the ground around it.
Lu Yu was immune to fire damage, so he wasn't affected.
1
After killing the Giant Flame Lizard, Lu Yu looked at his evolution panel.
Only one evolution material was needed for the Flame Dragon Claw, and that was the exclusive Evolution Potion.
Powder from a Fire Spirit Crystal was one of the ingredients used to make this potion.
According to the description, the other material was the blood essence of a massive fire elemental beast.
This Giant Flame Lizard in front of Lu Yu was a massive fire elemental beast.
This way, he could evolve into the Flame Dragon Claw!
Lu Yu was a little excited. He did not hesitate and decided to evolve directly.
8
After all, he was trying to get into Clanorth University. It was best to build up his strength as much as possible before the entrance exam.
This way, the chances of getting in would be higher.
Thus, Lu Yu took out a dagger and cut off the heart of the flame lizard.
Lu Yu carefully extracted a drop of blood essence from the artery of the Giant Flame Lizard.
The pure red essence fell into a bottle. The surrounding temperature weakened a lot after the bottle was capped.
Everyone outside the arena looked at the holographic screen and began talking about it.
"Lu Yu got the blood essence from the flame lizard's corpse?"
"How did he manage to do this so skillfully?"
"Why do I feel like he has killed quite a number of bosses before this??"
"This is unusual. It's impossible for him to be so skilled if this is his first time killing a boss!"
Everyone was confused. They were well aware that this was not his first time assassinating a boss!
"Looks like Lu Yu must have killed quite a number of bosses before."
"That's impossible. This is simply impossible. How could he have the ability to kill a dungeon boss?"
"I'm not sure. There might be different reasons, but this is definitely not his first time."
"What did this Lu Yu go through before the exam?"
Everyone was staring at the screen, waiting to see what Lu Yu would do next.
The vast screen above the square had a live feed of 100 students.
But at this moment, Lu Yu's camera coverage was getting bigger.
In the scene, Lu Yu stood up after receiving the blood essence.
He needed to brew his own evolution medicine, which was not as simple as mixing two materials together.
Concocting this type of potion had a high failure rate. He needed to find a place where the fire element was dense if he wanted to reduce the failure rate.
Lu Yu stood up and began to sense the fire element in the surroundings.
Very soon, he fumbled to the center of the mountain peak.
There was a small pit where the Fire Spirit Crystal was just now.
Lu Yu could sense that the fire element was the densest here. It's no surprise that this location could produce such a pure Fire Spirit Crystal.
Just as Lu Yu walked over, he heard a boom, and flames four to five meters tall shot out from the hole!
Lu Yu was frightened by the sudden fire and took a few steps back. But then, he walked back over.
What was he afraid of when he was already immune to fire damage?
So, Lu Yu directly walked to the side of the flame geyser and sat down close to it.
Then, he began to prepare his evolution medicine.
Thus, when the admissions officers saw this, they were all stunned.
"He's sitting right next to a dangerous flame geyser?"
"Isn't this suicide?"
"He'll probably be burned to a crisp the next time the flame spouts out."
"If he doesn't leave that place quickly, it'll be too late!"
"A place that can nurture Fire Spirit Crystals, the flames that shoot out from there will definitely be extremely dangerous. He's so reckless!"
Everyone was worrying about Lu Yu, but he did not care.
He sat in front of the flame geyser, took the glass bottle, and set it to the side.
Then, he began to grind the Fire Spirit Crystal.
After the Fire Spirit Crystal powder was ground, Lu Yu carefully poured the powder into the bottle and mixed it with the blood essence.
After pouring it all in, he shook it slightly and felt the mighty power in the bottle.
[ Evolution Potion is in the process of merging… ]
[ Hint: When concocting a fire-attribute potion, the possibility of an accident is high. It might cause an explosion. ]
As Lu Yu continued to shake the bottle, a notification appeared in front of his eyes.
[ Congratulations on successfully merging the Evolution Potion! ]
Lu Yu quickly took up the bottle and examined it. He discovered that the red liquid contained within had become extremely pure!
He would be able to evolve his talent into a Flaming Dragon Claw as long as he drank this!
Lu Yu opened the bottle cap without hesitation.
At that moment, flames shot out from the geyser toward Lu Yu with a bang.
He was almost in the middle of the flames, but he was unharmed.
He didn't even get a tinge of a burn.
When the admissions officers outside saw this, they realized why Lu Yu wasn't afraid of the flames at all.
He was immune to the flame's damage!
At that moment, Lu Yu picked up the Evolution Potion and poured it into his stomach.
The moment the Evolution Potion that contained boundless energy entered his mouth, it brought intense abdominal pain to Lu Yu.
"Ouch! It Hurts!"Lu Yu sucked in a breath of cold air. The terrifying energy began to rampage in all directions as soon as it entered his body.
He felt an intense burning sensation in his stomach. He looked down and saw that his chest had turned red! It was turning a bright orange color!
Lu Yu panted heavily, attempting to control the energy in his body.
All of a sudden, this energy surged into Lu Yu's arms. During the process, Lu Yu could see that his dense blood vessels lit up, filling with hot lava!
Lu Yu's expression was agonizing. He clenched his teeth and began absorbing this energy with all of his strength.
The rampaging energy would reshape Lu Yu's entire body.
The evolution of the Flaming Dragon Claw would also be completed in this process!
Everyone outside the arena was concerned about Lu Yu's current situation.
"He looks like he's in a lot of pain."
"What did he drink the potion for? Could it be…"
