“Drakken, you’re almost done, right? Let’s take advantage of the fact that these tree demons haven’t woken up yet and quickly run,” York said in a low voice.As the class president, York had always been a good student.In terms of theoretical knowledge, York was not much worse than Drakken.If Drakken could think of the important points, York would have thought of them as well.Naturally, he understood that under typical circumstances, this type of symbiotic tree demon wouldn't proactively assail the neighboring creatures. However, even with this knowledge, York's apprehension remained unabated."Depart?" Drakken stated solemnly. "We have important matters to attend to now!""What's so significant?" York queried, taken aback."Obviously, we're playing house!" Drakken exclaimed.York was left speechless."Drakken, I still believe…" York couldn’t help but ask as he watched Drakken climb a tree to pick a white spirit fruit and a scarlet heart pepper.The scarlet heart pepper was a type o
York couldn't resist inquiring from Drakken, whilst observing him climb a tree to harvest a white spirit fruit and a scarlet heart pepper, “Drakken, I remain of the opinion...the scarlet heart pepper, being a type of chili, was deemed as possessing spiritual properties."Its main function, as its name suggested, was to make people angry. To be more specific, the special spiciness could affect the heart and speed up blood circulation. In other words, it could slightly increase the speed of martial arts cultivation.York was left speechless.After some thought, York also climbed the tree with Drakken to pick spiritual fruits. The two of them ate a lot of scarlet heart peppers. The spiciness in their mouths made their cheeks slightly red, and the blood in their bodies flowed faster and faster.They stood in the middle of the tree demons and began to slowly practice the various basic martial arts taught by the school.During this process, the spirit fruits they had eaten earlier were bein
Sizzle!York was at a loss for words.York felt numb as he sniffed the faint and strange fish fragrance that had a slightly fishy smell.He thought, “Did Drakken specially learn how to cook with his Diamond Dust Palm?”“Little cat, do you want to eat grilled fish?” Drakken picked up the fish with a smile and waved it at the black cat.Gulp!The black cat on the tree swallowed its saliva. The strange yet familiar fragrance was constantly stirring the black cat’s mind. Its eyes revealed a little desire, but also a little hesitation.“Meow, meow, meow! Come on, let me touch you. I’ll treat you to fish!”Drakken said with a smile. He looked like a bad uncle who tricked a little girl into seeing a goldfish.Of course, it was impossible for Drakken to be a bad uncle. After all, he was younger and more handsome.The black cat was hesitant. Even York could see how conflicted the cat was.That dawdling look was even more adorable.Then, perhaps it was because it was really hungry, or because
“Enough, Drakken. That’s enough. We won’t be able to finish eating it if there’s more.”York took off his dirty coat and put away the twenty-odd fish that Drakken had caught.These fish were not big, and each of them was only two fingers wide. However, twenty of those fish were still a lot.Although the two of them had advanced to level seven Martial Apprentice, the breakthrough of the apprentice stage was not a qualitative change. People who practiced martial arts had a lot of appetites, but there was still a limit.These many fishes were enough.“All right.” Drakken stopped catching fish.He thought, “Why didn’t I trigger any achievement when fishing with bare hands?”Drakken stood up, held little Uriel in his arms, and headed back to the place where the tree demons were stationed.“Drakken, are you going to keep this cat?” York could not help but ask.“Of course!” Drakken rubbed little Uriel’s head and answered, “Uriel is so cute. Why can’t I raise her?”“Uriel?”“Yes, that’s its n
Drakken and the others were safe here.“Class president, go and pick some scarlet heart pepper and hemp branches. Oh, and some white spirit fruits too,” Drakken said.“What are you up to now?” York asked, slightly confused.“If we roast this fish, it’ll have a strong fishy smell. Shouldn’t we marinate it first?”York was speechless. “Okay then.”He felt that the martial arts examination was progressing in a weird direction.The sense of deja vu was getting stronger and stronger.York turned around to pick up the things Drakken had said.It should be mentioned that the spirit fruits borne by the tree demons were not biased, and they could grow whatever they wanted.Even the same tree demon could grow three or four different kinds of spiritual fruits.The substitutes for some seasonings could also be found on the tree demons. Drakken had already observed them.“Bang!”York was picking fruits when he was startled by a loud noise behind him. He turned around and was dumbfounded.“Drakken,
When Drakken came back half an hour later, he saw Uriel lying on the ground with a sorrowful look. He chuckled. “Didn’t I tell you that you’ll have diarrhea if you eat raw food? All right, it’s almost marinated to the point where the taste can be felt. Just wait a moment, we can start eating soon.”Uriel said weakly. “Meow! (I’m not eating anymore, I’m not eating anymore. It’s so spicy that I’m dying.)”Drakken smiled and ran to the stream to wash his hands. Then, he came back and grabbed a small fish from the hole in the tree stump. He put his hands together. A red light glowed on Drakken’s palms, and the temperature suddenly increased.The temperature of Diamond Dust Palm at the mastery level was extremely high. In theory, it was not something that a martial apprentice could control.If Drakken was already in the pulsing realm, Diamond Dust Palm could even burn with raging flames.However, it was not too bad now. With his palms together, it could be considered a double-frying pan
A terrifying blend of demonic and spiritual energy swept out uncontrollably, startling numerous demonic beasts and devils. Before Drakken could grasp the situation, the tree demon beneath him abruptly woke up and trembled violently. Its leaves rustled in a chaotic manner. Utilizing the [universal language], Drakken finally comprehended the language of the tree demons. The tree demon beneath him conveyed, "Rustle, rustle, rustle! (The situation is dire! We must evacuate.)"Drakken was confused.The [universal language] ability did not translate the languages of the foreign races, but allowed Drakken to understand the meaning of the languages.These tree demons did not even wake up after being cut down. At this moment, they were actually awakened by the wantonly spreading demonic aura and spiritual aura. It could be seen how terrifying the spiritual aura was at this moment.The tree demon trembled violently, and its roots rose from the ground. When Drakken burned the tree demon, these
During the latter part of the night, Drakken and York ceased eating. The sight of meat disgusted them, and their bodies rebelled against the consumption and digestion process."Leader, we've reached our limit for today. We need to rest properly," Drakken addressed the tree demon."Rustle! Rustle! (Alright, alright. Have a good rest. Hahaha! The heavens have favored my tree demon clan! Meeting such a magical tree like you is a blessing beyond belief. Hahahaha!)"Drakken grinned, vitality coursing through his body as his Diamond Dust Palm approached the 'perfection' level. With two and a half days remaining, he and York were poised to attain level nine Martial Apprentice status, an unexpected boon from the martial arts examination.Standing up, Drakken turned to York. "Class president, could you take a photo of me with my watch?""You want me to take a picture?" York questioned, but understanding Drakken's sentiment, he didn't try to dissuade him."We won't encounter this situation ever
The university admissions agents started arguing loudly.Draken stood there watching them fight over which of them would win him over to attend their school but deep inside, he was not interested.Draken had other ambitions. He didn’t want to take the normal journey anymore, as he had been through things none of them could bear.The homeroom teacher noticed and hurried over. "Draken, hurry and choose which school you want to attend!"The admissions agents quieted down and turned to Draken.Draken replied calmly, "Thank you for your offers, but I want to try to create my own academy into the top-ranked space for talents."Everyone fell silent.Draken had thought about this for a while and knew it was his goal. With his talent and strength, he felt he should aim for the best school in the country.The other admissions agents quickly tried to change his mind."Are you sure you don’t want to reconsider?""Berserk College didn’t even send anyone to invite you. They don’t seem serious.""Th
When Gaffa announced Draken as first place, the entire room fell silent.Everyone thought they misheard, but recalling Draken’s performance, they realized it made sense.Class Two students cheered collectively.“Draken is amazing!”“He’s the pride of F-level talent!”“Number one in the entire state! Draken made a miracle happen!”The students in other classes had mixed emotions. They didn’t feel great knowing the top student was from another class.“Prepare for the second stage of the exam, now we will have a halftime break,” Gaffa said.The mages began to rest as they stopped their formations. The students returned to their classrooms to rest.Draken also went back to his class to rest. Many people approached him, curious about his strength improvement.“Draken, how did you get so strong?”“Yeah, how can an F-level talent improve so quickly? Any tips for us?”“I understand Draken comes from a low-income family and can’t afford good equipment and potions. He’s extraordinary to have im
Draken turned to Lord Luke and said, “The exam rules require me to accept the first two matches. If I win, I can choose whether to accept the next match.”“I also have the right to pick my opponent.”Lord Luke frowned and asked, “Are you saying you’re rejecting my challenge? Are you a coward?”Draken glanced at the black horse behind Luke. Using his Eye of Truth, he saw the horse’s stats.Night Spirit HorseAttack: 40Speed: 700Health: 930Mana: 100Defense: 200 The horse’s speed and health were impressive. Draken thought having this horse would make his travels easier. Although cars existed in this world, rare mounts like this were more valuable.Draken decided it would be great to have this horse. “Lord Luke, if you want to fight me, you must place a bet.”“If I win, I get your horse!”Luke clenched his teeth. The horse was his prized possession. How did it quit just like that? But he thought beating an F-level talent would be easy, so he agreed.“No problem, but what if you lose?
Draken activated his Split Claw skill, and in an instant, he destroyed all the vampire bats flying towards him!Everyone watching was shocked.“What just happened? Did he really kill all those bats in a split second?”“This doesn’t seem like F-level strength.”“These bats are Lord Nazzy’s strongest attack, and Draken just blew right through them!”Even Lord Nazzy himself was stunned. He knew how powerful his vampire bats were, and normal attacks wouldn’t usually harm them much.Lord Nazzy glanced at Draken and started to rethink Draken’s power. Seeing Draken’s sharp claws made him nervous. He realized he might not be able to beat Draken.Draken, not wanting to waste time, charged at Lord Nazzy. Seeing Draken rush at him, Lord Nazzy tried to run away, but Draken was too fast. In the blink of an eye, Draken was right in front of him.“Damn it. He’s too quick!” Lord Nazzy shouted in shock.“Didn’t you say you found me a grave?” Draken asked coldly. “You’re the one who’s dead!”Draken sa
Akpi was shocked by Draken’s words.He quickly backed away, trying to put some distance between them.“Why aren’t my attacks working?” Akpi wondered aloud.After thinking for a moment, he reassured himself, “You must have focused all your training on defense. That has to be it. Your attack, speed, and health must be much weaker than mine.”Confident once again, Akpi decided he could break through Draken’s defenses with his speed over time.Just then, Draken’s figure flickered and vanished!In a flash, Draken reappeared right in front of Akpi.Akpi’s eyes widened in disbelief. Draken’s speed was faster than his!Draken raised his right hand, which transformed into a powerful dragon claw. His muscles expanded, scales emerged, and five sharp claws gleamed menacingly.Akpi was stunned. How could such a fierce-looking dragon claw be considered the weakest F-level talent?Swallowing hard, Akpi stammered, “Bro, I’m sorry. I shouldn’t have said those things…”Draken remained calm. “I told you
Gaffa stood in the center of the formation and shouted, “Start now! Find your opponents! You have one minute!”Immediately, more than half of the male students in Class Two locked their eyes on Draken and moved toward him.One student rushed forward and yelled, “Draken! Let me be your opponent!”This made the others panic. They all wanted to face Draken and didn't expect someone to cut in line.“Draken, come and fight me. I’ll be gentle!”“Draken, we used to be friends. Let me have this opportunity!”“Grant me this opportunity, and I’ll make it up to you!”The scene was chaotic as everyone rushed toward Draken. He gave a faint smile, finding it ironic how they had just comforted him in class. Their hypocrisy was now clear.A quick-footed student reached Draken first. “I’m the first here. I’m Draken’s opponent. The rest of you are too late!” he announced proudly, thinking his ranking would improve easily.The others stopped, filled with regret.“This guy sure runs fast!”“I missed it.
Draken arrived just in time for the exams, causing his homeroom teacher to sigh with relief."Make sure you're prepared for the exams," the teacher advised."Given your abilities, you'll need to work extra hard.""Don't worry, I've prepared," Draken responded, and went into the classroom.His classmates offered words of encouragement."Draken, you can do it! Even though you're not the most talented, we can all see how hard you work. Don't give up. Some of us have even less talent, but we're still trying our best."Draken smiled and replied, "Thanks, everyone. Let's all aim for good results."The homeroom teacher then explained the new exam rules. The country was divided into two main branches: the Ministry of War and the Ministry of Culture.As more dangerous beasts appeared, the Ministry of War appointed a new head of the Ministry of Culture's education sector, a young military officer named Gaffa.Known for his strict and tough personality, Gaffa had made significant changes to the
Mikey looked at Draken in surprise. "Are you really a student?"Draken shrugged. "Why would I lie about that?"Mikey rubbed his forehead and exhaled deeply, realizing he had met a genius.He sighed with relief, glad about his decision at the auction.Then, he smiled brightly. "Draken, follow me. I'll take you to choose a golden skill stone tablet."Draken followed him without hesitation.Mikey took Draken to an ancient stone door which was had in it a modern scanner. Mikey walked in and was scanned, and the heavy door slowly opened, and a brilliant golden light shone from inside."Go in and pick a skill you like," Mikey said as Draken stoodon one spot.Draken walked in, and the golden light faded.Draken saw tall display cabinets filled with golden skill tablets. He felt overwhelmed, not knowing which one to choose.He thought about what abilities he needed next and found out that he did not have control skills.He spotted a control skill called [Uppercut], which seemed perfect for hi
Once Mikey from the Opus Deities made his bid, no one else continued.After confirming three times, the auctioneer announced that Mikey was the winner!“The auction’s winner is Sir Mikey of the Opus Deities!”“Let’s give Sir Mikey a big round of applause!”The applause was loud. Mikey had a strong reputation as a member of the Opus Deities.Everyone stood up and congratulated Mikey respectfully.Mikey paid them little attention and went straight to the second floor to Charlotte’s office.At that moment, Draken was sitting across from Charlotte in the office, handing over the 50 White Spirit Flowers.“I’ve finished the previous quest.”Charlotte counted the flowers, smiled, and said, “Everything looks good. I’ll transfer 100,000 to your account right away.”Draken nodded. With the new 100,000, he had a total of 160,000.The office door opened, and Mikey walked in.“Miss Charlotte, I won the auction.”He said this with a smile and then noticed Draken.“He… is Erebus?”Charlotte quickly
