Chapter 60: The Gem of Knowledge

And now, Ye Xuan possessed this knowledge gem. With this gem, he could receive 3,600 spirit stones every month as welfare. Ye Xuan estimated that the entire Awakening Academy supplied nearly 10,000 spirit stones each month.

Now, the resources Ye Xuan possessed were comparable to one-third of the entire academy. Describing Ye Xuan’s current situation as “getting rich overnight” was not an exaggeration at all!

Afterwards, he directly received the knowledge gem and stored it in the system space.

In this way, whenever it was time to receive the spirit stones from the gem of knowledge, they would be directly deposited into the system space. Even lying down, one could earn spirit stones. Just thinking about it made people excited.

Ye Xuan couldn’t help but think about his past life as a C-class ability user who didn’t have the qualifications to attend prestigious universities. He didn’t even know what spirit stones were.

It was only during a difficult mission when he and his teammates killed a group of disgusting venomous toads that he received an official reward of a spirit stone.

At that time, Ye Xuan had several wounds corroded by the venomous toads, his clothes were tattered, and his eyes were bloodshot.

After receiving the official reward, he treated the spirit stone as a treasure, hiding it in his pocket and tightly gripping it, afraid of losing it.

Then, Ye Xuan excitedly returned to his rented house, took out the spirit stone, and tremblingly absorbed it. His ability development class directly increased by a lot.

Now thinking back, his past self had really lived a miserable life. Ye Xuan reminisced about how miserable his past life was, but now he could earn spirit stones even while lying down. He quickly fell into a dream.

In his dream, Ye Xuan appeared on the battlefield of the defense of magic city. He saw the Red Lotus Empress, Su Mengli, and the shocking Kunpeng fighting.

Ye Xuan wanted to help, but he was horrified as he was only a C-class ability user. The S-class Dragon Elephant Body and the powerful Great Power Heavenly Dragon were all nonexistent.

He watched helplessly as Su Mengli and the Kunpeng perished together, while he himself was helpless.

In the end, because of being distracted, he was once again pierced by the tentacle of a mutated octopus, entering his throat and esophagus, pulverizing all his internal organs, and throwing him out.

Then, Ye Xuan suddenly woke up from the nightmare. He clenched his fists and felt the powerful force within him. This kind of power was something he had never had in his past life.

However, even with such power, he was just cannon fodder in the defense of magic city. He couldn’t influence the overall situation, let alone save his beloved woman.

Ye Xuan, oh Ye Xuan, you must not slack off. Work hard to improve your strength, maybe not to save the world, but at least to save your own woman!

In the following days, Ye Xuan and Su Mengli activated the dual cultivation card every day and practiced together. Their cultivation efficiency remained at a very good class, and Ye Xuan’s spirit stones increased day by day due to the knowledge gem.

Eight days later, Ye Xuan’s strength had improved to a small class, reaching a development class of 70% and possessing the power of the Seven Elephants.

Su Mengli’s development class had also increased, but because the upper limit was too high, her progress was only a little over 1%.

In addition, during this period, Chen Xu occasionally arranged some practical combat exercises for the students of the Awakening Academy to adapt to their abilities.

Up until now, the Awakening Academy had been in session for ten days. On this day, an urgent and piercing bell suddenly rang throughout the academy, and the students quickly gathered on the playground.

At this moment, several buses had already parked in the playground.

Then, Lin Xu clapped his hands and said, “Everyone, you have all made progress during this period of time and have enough control over your abilities. Now, an important mission is entrusted to you!

A group of awakened snakes has attacked the Magic City Zoo. The personnel have been mostly evacuated, but it is still very dangerous inside the zoo, and the police are having a hard time dealing with it.

So, you will be in charge of handling this awakened snake incident. We have named this mission ‘Disaster of the Mad Python,’ and the entire process will be recorded.

Your performance in this mission will be presented to the higher-ups, and your performance will affect your chances of entering the Dragon Plan. Everyone, do your best!”

“Yes!” The students responded firmly.

Afterwards, everyone quickly boarded the buses, and the buses swiftly headed towards the zoo.

Ye Xuan sat next to Su Mengli, who clenched her fists and seemed a bit nervous.

Ye Xuan wrapped her hand in his palm and said, “Don’t be nervous, I’m here!”

Qin Heng in the backseat said, “It’s not that easy. This is our first mission, the Disaster of the Mad Python. I don’t know how fierce those mutated snakes are.”

Ye Xuan glanced at Qin Heng and said, “Didn’t you have the academy specially customize a sword for you? When the time comes, no matter how fierce the snakes are, just cut them in half with one sword!”

Qin Heng shook his head and said, “I’ve tried it. The sword customized by the academy has high hardness and sharpness in the traditional sense, but it may not be useful against those mutated beasts.”

During this period, although they mainly focused on cultivation, Lin Xu arranged for them to watch many videos related to mutated beasts. Most of these mutated animals were large in size, had tough skin, and were extremely fierce. Qin Heng’s sword was lacking in quality.

After hearing Qin Heng’s words, Ye Xuan had an idea. The pig-slaughtering knife was no longer helpful to him. As a power-based fighter, the Profound Iron Heavy Sword would be more effective.

If he forged the pig-slaughtering knife into the shape of a sword, it should greatly increase Qin Heng’s combat power, right?

Moreover, Ye Xuan wasn’t just doing this to help Qin Heng. Qin Heng’s favorability towards Ye Xuan was at 55 points, which was equivalent to the class of good brothers.

During this period, Qin Heng had been hoping to have a good weapon. If Ye Xuan could solve this big problem for him, his favorability might increase to 70 points.

With a favorability of 70 points, Ye Xuan could draw another reward, and all he had to give was an already obsolete knife. It was quite cost-effective.

Therefore, Ye Xuan decided that after this mission, he would upgrade Qin Heng’s equipment so that he could also draw a reward.
