Yang Yu was baffled by the way she looked at him.
Do I know her?
Zhou Yong and Shi Wei respectfully walked to the podium and bowed to an ordinary-looking elderly man with white hair and beard.
The old man merely nodded faintly, but his deep gaze lingered on Yang Yu for a moment.
Everyone found empty seats and sat down.
The old man cleared his throat and resumed his lecture.
"Today, we'll begin with a Warrior's most basic skill, Blade Draw Slash."
His voice was not loud, yet it seemed to carry a peculiar magic that drew everyone in.
He did not discuss any profound theories. He simply explained his understanding of the skill in the plainest language.
From techniques for exerting force, to condensing Sword Qi, to perfectly combining mental and physical strength...
But this was no longer merely a lesson on a skill.
He was clearly imparting the Dao!
Yang Yu was completely engrossed.
Every sentence from the old man was like a key, opening brand-new doors for him.
He felt as though his body and soul were undergoing a wondrous transformation.
Not long after.
Buzz!
A dazzling golden light of leveling up suddenly burst forth from Yang Yu's body!
[Congratulations! After listening to the teachings of the Sword Master, your understanding of Blade Draw Slash has greatly deepened! The Blade Draw Slash skill has leveled up!] [Your Blade Draw Slash skill has leveled up! Current level: 14!]
Yang Yu: "???"
He had just started listening to a lecture and had already leveled up? Was this really that absurd?
The golden light around Yang Yu instantly drew the attention of everyone in the wooden cabin.
The geniuses who had been listening attentively all turned to look at him, surprise appearing on their faces.
That skill had leveled up far too quickly!
Was this guy exceptionally perceptive, or was there another reason?
Still, they were only briefly surprised and did not take it too seriously.
After all, the A-Rank Warrior Professionals present had also benefited greatly from the old man's explanation. The Blade Draw Slash skill they had just learned had smoothly risen by one level as well.
Perhaps this newcomer had simply been lucky and happened to be stuck at a bottleneck.
They quickly withdrew their gazes and continued listening intently.
After his brief shock, Yang Yu immediately opened his Skill Panel.
[Blade Draw Slash] [Level: 14+1 (0/100000)] [Effect: Deals 6000% physical damage. Cooldown: 0.23 seconds.] [Special Effect 1: Kill Recovery. When this skill kills a target, restores the user's stamina.] [Special Effect 2: Sword Qi Projection. Releases a Sword Qi attack that deals 3000% physical damage to all enemies in a straight line. Maximum Sword Qi range: 15 meters.] [Special Effect 3: Sword Heart Illuminated. All sword-type attack skills are increased by 50%.]
Because of the Adaptive Power effect of the Wild Boar King Ring, all Warrior-type skill levels were increased by 1.
Therefore, the actual level of his Blade Draw Slash had now reached a terrifying Level 15!
Its damage had skyrocketed again!
And it had awakened a new special effect.
He truly had not expected such an effect: all sword-based skill damage increased by 50%.
That was practically the equivalent of giving Yang Yu an additional passive talent.
His newly learned skill, Myriad Swords Return to Origin, was also a sword-type skill.
That meant his Myriad Swords Return to Origin would benefit as well.
More importantly, he discovered that improving proficiency by listening to lectures was absurdly efficient!
It was countless times faster than practicing by himself in silence!
This was no lecture. It was basically a walking experience pack!
Just as Yang Yu was inwardly ecstatic, the white-haired elder on the stage suddenly stopped explaining.
His deep eyes passed through the crowd and stared directly at Yang Yu.
A trace of undisguised shock flashed through his eyes.
This kid...
In that instant just now, he had actually sensed a faint trace of the Dao from this kid!
It was extremely weak, but there was no way he could be mistaken!
Was this why Old Wang had asked him to come here?
How could a student who had only changed professions a few days ago cultivate a skill to such a level?
Could it be... that he had been born with Sword Heart Illuminated?
A storm raged in the old man's heart, but his expression remained calm.
Rather than exposing it, he seemed to have been stimulated by something and began explaining faster and in greater depth.
What happened next left every non-Warrior Professional present utterly miserable.
For the rest of the time, this legendary skill master actually spoke about nothing but Blade Draw Slash!
He explained it over and over, breaking it down into the tiniest details!
From the most basic blade-gripping posture to the most profound circulation of sword intent, he covered everything in astonishing detail!
At first, the Warrior geniuses listened with great interest, feeling their Skill Proficiency soar rapidly.
But one hour passed...
Then two hours passed...
They were already beginning to fidget.
Big brother! We know you understand Blade Draw Slash deeply, but you can't keep milking this one skill forever!
We want to learn something else too!
The Mages, Assassins, and support Professionals were even more drowsy.
They had somehow forcefully listened to this trash D-Rank Warrior skill until they had raised it to Level 3 or 4!
This was simply breaking the rules of the world!
Meanwhile, the golden light around Yang Yu continued flashing one after another.
Every time the golden light appeared, the hearts of everyone present violently twitched along with it.
This... was this guy even human?!
Did this guy eat Blade Draw Slash for every meal?
How was it leveling up like a rocket?!
The old man on the stage spoke until his mouth was dry.
He even wished he could split himself into two.
It was as though he intended to impart every bit of his lifelong understanding of this skill without holding anything back!
He wanted to see where this young man's limit truly lay!
Finally, after another burst of blinding golden light, the old man stopped.
The way he looked at Yang Yu had changed from shock into the fanatical gaze one would give a monster.
[Congratulations! The Blade Draw Slash skill has leveled up! Current level: 19+1!] [Special Effect 4: Demon Break. All sword-type attack skills deal an additional 200% damage to shield-type skills.]
It was another talent-like special effect.
Was this what high-level skills in his profession were capable of?
With this effect, no matter how thick the shield skill used by a monster was, he could slash through it with a single strike.
Even after the old man ended the lecture, Yang Yu still felt unsatisfied.
At that moment, the elder who had just seemed to have a machine gun for a mouth actually walked directly down from the podium.
Ignoring everyone else, he headed straight for Yang Yu.
"Student Yang Yu, you're very impressive."
His voice carried a trace of fatigue, but there was even more undisguised appreciation and excitement.
"May I presumptuously ask which university you plan to apply for after the college entrance examination?"
Yang Yu froze for a moment.
He had not expected this big shot to take the initiative to speak with him.
And the man even knew his name.
When you benefited from someone, you had to show them respect.
Having just received such an enormous benefit from him, Yang Yu naturally answered respectfully.
"Senior, my goal is Imperial Capital University."
"Good! Very good!"
The old man nodded in satisfaction, a smile appearing on his face.
"I understand. Then, two months from now, we'll meet again at Imperial Capital University."
After saying that, he turned around and slowly left the wooden cabin under the accompaniment of Zhou Yong and Shi Wei.
The entire wooden cabin fell deathly silent.
Everyone was stunned by the old man's final words.
We'll meet again at Imperial Capital University in two months?
What did that mean?
Could it be...
Some sharp-minded students immediately thought of a possibility, horrified expressions appearing on their faces.
They had clearly understood the implication behind those words.
Could this elder be a teacher at Imperial Capital University?
Or was he actually going to become a teacher at Imperial Capital University because of a single sentence from this guy?
How was that possible?!
What kind of place was Imperial Capital University?
The number one institution in Dragon Country!
Which teacher there was not a top-tier powerhouse renowned across an entire region?
Even if this elder was indeed formidable in skill cultivation, he could not just become a teacher whenever he wanted, could he?
More importantly, why was he so certain that this guy would definitely be admitted to Imperial Capital University?
After all, it was extremely difficult for Linhai City to produce even one student admitted to Imperial Capital University!
This year's competition was even more intense. They had heard that quite a few people in other cities had awakened S-Rank Professions.
Moreover, there were no fewer than several thousand cities like Linhai City throughout Dragon Country.
Su Muyu, in particular, immediately felt unconvinced.
Why?
Why could this ordinary-looking guy receive such favor from that senior?
Wasn't her S-Rank talent far stronger than Yang Yu, who still seemed to be wearing that trash Wild Boar King Set?
