Battle Through the Heavens: Attribute Draw, Top-Tier Comprehension at the Start

"The Foreign Languages ​​Department has a points-based competition, you should know about it, right?"

Qin Yu nodded; he had already heard about it from his mentor, Ruolin, before he came.

The outer court's points competition is a regular event for the outer court of Canaan Academy, just like the inner court's ranking system.

Students can earn points by challenging each other and completing assignments. The higher the ranking, the more benefits they will receive within the academy.

"If you can enter the top 50 of the points ranking within two years, I will give you free access to the library."

Hu Qian held up one finger and said with a smile.

"First fifty?"

Qin Yu frowned slightly.

There are at least a thousand students in the outer academy, and those who can rank in the top fifty must be at least close to the level of a Great Dou Master.

Two years... this vice president really thinks highly of him.

"What? You think it's too high?"

Hu Qian chuckled, thinking that Qin Yu was intimidated by his request.

"If you think that's too high, then set a smaller goal first, like being in the top 100?"

"However, the top 100 can only borrow cultivation techniques and combat skills below the intermediate level of the Profound Rank at will, while the top 50 can borrow advanced levels of the Profound Rank."

"As for the Earth Rank..."

He deliberately dragged out his words, a shrewd glint in his eyes.

"Let's talk about it after you reach your previous goal."

Qin Yu remained silent for a moment, then nodded.

"Okay, then the top fifty."

"That's bold."

Hu Qian gave a thumbs-up and patted Qin Yu on the shoulder.

"But let me make this clear from the start: I won't give you special treatment just because you're special."

"If you want to get into the top 50, you have to rely on your own abilities."

"That's natural."

Qin Yu responded calmly.

Seeing his appearance, Hu Qian's opinion of him rose even higher.

However, he still had one question in his mind.

"Qin Yu, what kind of cultivation technique do you practice? If it's convenient, could you demonstrate it to me?"

Qin Yu hesitated for a moment, but still nodded.

Although he improved the Earth Origin Technique himself, it was only derived from the Yellow Rank Intermediate Thick Earth Technique and could not be considered a secret that was not passed down.

He took a deep breath, and his internal fighting spirit slowly circulated.

A thick and steady brown battle aura surged from his dantian and flowed slowly along his meridians.

Unlike ordinary earth-attribute battle qi, Qin Yu's battle qi carries a unique vitality, as if it resonates with the pulse of the earth.

Hu Qian initially glanced at it casually, but soon his expression changed.

"This is…"

He closed his eyes, sensed for a moment, and then a glint of light flashed in his eyes.

"Your technique... is a bit strange."

Hu Qian could tell that this technique was already at the mid-level of the Xuan rank.

Moreover, judging from the trajectory of this battle qi, as long as the cultivator is on the ground, the cultivation speed will not be slow.

From this perspective, it's reasonable that Qin Yu was able to advance three levels while traveling.

However, this cultivation technique has a certain... inexplicable sense of inferiority at its core?

Hu Qian was certain that if the foundation of this technique were further improved, it could even be worthy of the high-level Xuan rank!

"The student is practicing the family's 'Thick Earth Technique,' which is at the intermediate level of the Yellow Rank."

"Impossible, absolutely impossible."

Hu Qian shook his head, his tone resolute:

"The battle qi condensed from a mid-level Yellow Rank cultivation technique would never have such a profound depth."

"Moreover, when you circulate your cultivation technique, I can feel a power from the depths of the earth responding to you. This is something that no Yellow-rank cultivation technique can do."

After a moment's hesitation, Qin Yu decided to tell the truth.

"Your perception is correct. This is a modification that the student made to the 'Thick Earth Technique' during the course of cultivation."

"Improvement?"

Hu Qian was stunned for a moment. If what Qin Yu said was true, and he could improve a Yellow-rank cultivation technique to this extent, then he really was a genius.

He circled Qin Yu twice, marveling at his abilities.

"To be honest, if you could further optimize the foundation of this technique, its level could definitely reach the advanced stage of the Profound Rank."

Qin Yu's heart stirred slightly. To receive the personal approval of a Dou Huang powerhouse meant that his direction of improvement was indeed correct.

"Oh, now I understand why you want to enter the library."

Hu Qian narrowed his eyes slightly, looking at Qin Yu with a half-smile.

"Are you planning to integrate other cultivation techniques and then make improvements?"

Qin Yu did not deny it, and nodded frankly.

"If you want to reach a higher level, you naturally need to use the best cultivation techniques."

"I like that he has ambition."

Hu Qian laughed loudly and patted Qin Yu on the shoulder.

"Okay, then do it your way."

"Before you officially participate in the points competition, you can go to the Scripture Pavilion and pick out two suitable fighting techniques or cultivation methods. You can choose any of them; consider it an extra bonus I'm giving you."

As he spoke, Hu Qian stuffed another uniquely shaped token into Qin Yu's hand.

"You can keep the library token for yourself, but remember to return this one after you're done using it."

"Thank you, Vice Dean."

Qin Yu bowed in thanks, then turned and left the pavilion.

As he stepped out the door, a slight smile appeared on his lips. Two free fighting techniques or cultivation manuals—this trip was definitely worthwhile.

As for the leaderboard in the points-based competition…

Qin Yu looked up into the distance, a hint of fighting spirit flashing in his eyes.

There's no need to rush the first fifty rounds.

First, improve your cultivation level, then master your techniques and combat skills, and you can fight your way up step by step.

Anyway, he still has time.

After Qin Yu left, the pavilion returned to silence.

Hu Qian sat back down in his chair, picked up his teacup, took a sip, and his eyes flickered slightly.

"What an interesting little guy, he can actually improve his own cultivation technique."

He put down his teacup, his fingers tapping lightly on the armrest, as if he were thinking about something.

"Alright, let's see how far he can go. If he really is a genius, we might as well give him more opportunities."

After leaving Hu Qian's place, Qin Yu did not go directly to the library, but returned to the dormitory area first.

The logistics department was very efficient. As soon as Qin Yu arrived at the dormitory building, someone brought him a new key.

"Qin Yu, this is the single dormitory room that the vice dean arranged for you. It's on the third floor, the easternmost room, and the environment is relatively quiet."

Thank you.

Qin Yu took the keys and thanked him.

He carried his few belongings up to the third floor, opened the door, and nodded in satisfaction.

Although the room was not large, it was clean and tidy, and its location was secluded, with no people coming and going at the end of the corridor, making it truly quiet.

This environment is perfect for someone like him who needs to frequently enter a state of deep thinking.

Qin Yu put his things away, collapsed onto the bed, and slowly closed his eyes.

Next, it's time to properly plan my cultivation program.

...

The next day, with two days left before classes officially started, Qin Yu took the token given to him by Hu Qian and went directly to the Scripture Pavilion.

Upon seeing Hu Qian's token, the guards immediately let Qin Yu in.

"Wow, this space is huge."

Since Hu Qian said he could choose whatever he wanted, he would have to think it over carefully.
