"Very good, very good!"
Qin Tianlong said "very good" twice in a row, enough to show just how pleased he was!
Why had Qin Tianlong wanted to accept Lu Yuan as his disciple right away? He had even been willing to drop his requirement that Lu Yuan place in the top three of the Freshman Tournament.
It was because Qin Tianlong, thanks to his exceptionally high Spiritual Attribute, could sense that Lu Yuan was currently at the First Order Middle Rank.
And Lu Yuan's First Order Middle Rank cultivation was absolutely solid, with no sign of a shaky foundation.
That meant he had reached it through his own comprehension—something no amount of pills could compare to!
But what had he just heard?
Ten days ago...
In other words, Lu Yuan had awakened his supernatural ability during the Awakening Ceremony!
To have successfully broken through to the First Order Middle Rank in such a short time
meant Lu Yuan's comprehension was absolutely terrifying!
Since he was a student with such terrifying comprehension, why shouldn't Qin Tianlong accept him? What was he waiting for?
Wouldn't that be like wasting a piece of uncut jade of the finest quality?
Waste was shameful! Qin Tianlong didn't consider himself that kind of person.
In short, Qin Tianlong had decided to make an exception and take Lu Yuan as his disciple!
"As promised, now that you're my disciple, I'll hand over 'Ice Blast Technique' to you right away!"
After saying this, Qin Tianlong went into a room and brought out a thick skill book, about the size of a modern Chinese dictionary.
"'Ice Blast Technique.' It's yours!"
Qin Tianlong handed the skill book to Lu Yuan.
Lu Yuan's eyes lit up at the sight.
This was an S-rank Skill book, worth a fortune, and Qin Tianlong was just giving it to him!
Still, this "skill book" really was thick. It was practically the size of a modern Chinese dictionary, and it felt heavy in his hands...
"I'd originally planned to have you learn the prerequisite skill, 'Ice Break Technique,' first. Once you had some foundation, learning 'Ice Blast Technique' would be easier."
"But since your comprehension is so terrifying, we can skip the earlier steps. It'll definitely be less trouble to learn 'Ice Blast Technique' directly!"
Qin Tianlong said, his expression showing nothing but satisfaction with Lu Yuan.
After all, Lu Yuan was not only the first specially recruited Ice-type freshman in five years, but also had extraordinary comprehension—truly terrifying!
How could Qin Tianlong, the dean of the Ice Academy at Shencheng Supernatural University, not be satisfied?
"Thank you for the praise, Mentor!"
Lu Yuan made sure to say that.
Qin Tianlong was pleased to hear it. He narrowed his eyes slightly and nodded.
So Qin Tianlong made a decision on the spot.
He decided to personally take Lu Yuan to the library and borrow the Body Tempering Art, Profound Nether Ice Soul Body, so Lu Yuan could study it whenever he wanted.
There was a huge difference between letting Lu Yuan go to the library by himself and taking him there personally!
According to the rules of the Shencheng Supernatural University library, whether it was a skill book or a Body Tempering Art, students could only borrow it for use in the library, and the borrowing time was strictly limited!
There was no helping it. Shencheng Supernatural University had so many students and limited resources, leaving the school no choice but to resort to this.
But having to study only in the library, without being able to take the materials away, and with strict time limits,
meant that learning could never be very efficient!
But there was always a way out!
There was always a turning point!
With the dean of the Ice Academy vouching for him, borrowing a copy of Profound Nether Ice Soul Body was easy!
So the environment at Shencheng Supernatural University wasn't fair.
And it wasn't just that. The entire supernatural world worked this way.
Resources always tilted toward the strong!
"Xiao Yu!"
Qin Tianlong and Lu Yuan had just left Qin Tianlong's residence
when Qin Tianlong gave a low call. At the same time, he took a Containment Ball from his Spatial Ring. A flash of light passed, and a huge ice-blue eagle appeared before them.
The eagle had sharp talons and bright, piercing eyes. It looked as if it could seize any target it locked onto in an instant!
"Xiao Yu is my Companion Beast. Let's get on. The library is quite far from here, and Xiao Yu can save us quite a bit of time!"
Qin Tianlong explained.
The two of them sat one behind the other on the ice-blue eagle.
"Are you both seated? I'm taking off!"
Once the two of them had confirmed they were ready, the ice-blue eagle took flight!
The eagle's back was very broad, allowing them to sit securely.
It gave a slight flap of its wings, soaring hundreds of meters above the ground.
Lu Yuan saw a whole new world he had never seen before!
He opened his eyes wide, gazing around curiously.
The buildings that had seemed so tall now looked much smaller to him!
And as the eagle flew, it used a mental barrier to block most of the wind,
so although it was flying very fast, all Lu Yuan felt was a gentle breeze brushing his face!
It was refreshing!
"If you said the way to counter fire-type ability users was to rely on a water-type Companion Beast, then why is your Companion Beast still ice-type? Wouldn't that mean it's doubly countered by fire?"
Lu Yuan asked.
Qin Tianlong explained, "Play to your strengths and avoid your weaknesses. Stay clear of the enemy's sharp edge. A Companion Beast of the same type as its master can, under the influence of their contract, slightly accelerate both their growth and boost the power of abilities of that type."
