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

Pushing open the door of the pharmacy, a rich aroma of medicinal herbs wafts out, instantly refreshing the mind and spirit.

Inside the pharmacy, no one was at the registration and dispensing table yet, probably because it had just opened.

Qin Yu stepped forward and inquired about the price of the Qi Gathering Powder from the person in charge of the pharmacy.

"Three hundred points?"

Qin Yu was slightly taken aback, confirming that he hadn't misheard.

A fourth-grade Qi Gathering Powder only costs three hundred points?

"The Qi Gathering Powder is indeed of a high grade, but this is Canaan Academy."

The person in charge of the pharmacy was an elderly man with gray hair. Seeing Qin Yu's puzzled expression, he slowly explained with a hint of pride:

"Besides the new students each year, where in the academy are there so many students at the Battle Qi stage? With such high prices, who can afford it?"

Qin Yu nodded knowingly; that was a reasonable explanation.

Canaan Academy has strict admission requirements; those who can get in must have at least the eighth level of Dou Qi, and it's not good for freshmen with lower cultivation levels to fight in the arena.

"Moreover, if it weren't for the sake of the new students, I'm afraid the alchemy department wouldn't bother to refine a pill like the Qi Gathering Powder."

"Okay, please exchange one Qi Gathering Powder for me."

Qin Yu pondered for a moment, then took out the points book from his pocket and handed it over.

The old man took the booklet, made a mark on it, then turned around and took out an exquisite jade bottle from the medicine cabinet behind him, handing it to Qin Yu.

"Here you are, one Qi-gathering powder. Please check it on the spot. We are not responsible for any issues once you leave the counter."

Qin Yu uncorked the bottle, and a delicate medicinal fragrance wafted out.

Inside the jade bottle lay a pill the size of a longan, its surface faintly glowing.

This was the first time he had ever seen a fourth-grade elixir in person.

After confirming that everything was correct, Qin Yu put the stopper back on, tucked the jade bottle into his pocket, and turned to leave the pharmacy.

As I stepped outside, the sunlight shone warmly on my face.

Qin Yu narrowed his eyes, already having made up his mind.

This Qi-gathering powder is not for my own use.

...

Xiao Yu practiced with Xue Ni until very late last night, and her whole body ached. She plans to rest for half a day today and continue in the afternoon.

She was lying in bed, staring blankly at the ceiling.

"Yu'er!"

Suddenly, Xue Ni slammed the door open with a "bang," startling Xiao Yu.

"Are you trying to get yourself killed?! What are you yelling about?!"

Looking at the lively and energetic Xue Ni, Xiao Yu couldn't help but sigh.

This girl is so energetic.

"Oh, forget everything else, come with me right now!"

Unexpectedly, Xue Ni grabbed Xiao Yu's hand and hurriedly pulled her outside the dormitory.

At this moment, Qin Yu was standing at the dormitory entrance, with one hand behind his back.

"Brother Yu? What brings you here?"

"I have something for you."

Qin Yu reached out his hand from behind his back and handed a jade bottle to Xiao Yu.

Xiao Yu looked down and saw three words clearly engraved on the jade bottle: "Gathering Qi Powder".

Her pupils dilated slightly as she looked up at Qin Yu, her face filled with disbelief.

"Qi-gathering powder? You...where did you get that?"

"Exchanged at the pharmacy, 300 points."

Xiao Yu's lips moved, but for a moment she didn't know what to say.

Three hundred points.

Qin Yu's top score in the freshman test plus the reward for defeating Zhao Yuan only amounted to 600 points, and he spent 300 of them in one go.

"Take it."

Before Xiao Yu could say anything, Qin Yu anticipated her words and cut her off.

"Why...why are you so good to me?"

Xiao Yu remained silent for a moment, then looked up at Qin Yu, her eyes slightly red.

Qin Yu thought for a moment and gave a rather simple answer:

"Because you need it."

Xiao Yu was stunned for a moment, and her heart began to beat faster than usual.

This person...why is he always so blunt when he speaks!

"And... after you break through to the Dou Zhe level, there's something I need your help with."

"What is it?"

Xiao Yu blinked, somewhat curious. Qin Yu was already a nine-star Dou Zhe, so how could she help him?

"I need you to help me in my spiritual practice."

"To help you in your spiritual practice?"

Xiao Yu was stunned, and then countless thoughts flashed through her mind.

Help him cultivate himself? How?

Is it the kind of cultivation method that requires two people to be alone and have intimate contact?

Her face flushed red to her ears, her heart raced, and she avoided looking Qin Yu in the eye.

Seeing her reaction, Qin Yu was somewhat puzzled, but he still continued to explain:

"I just wanted to see if combining two types of battle qi in cultivation could improve cultivation efficiency."

It was so...

Xiao Yu breathed a sigh of relief, but felt inexplicably disappointed.

"So, after you break through to the Dou Zhe level and complete your cultivation technique, I need you to cooperate with me in conducting a few experiments."

Xiao Yu took a deep breath, calmed herself down, reached out and took the jade bottle, and nodded solemnly.

"Once I break through to the Dou Zhe level and finish cultivating my new technique, I will come to find you as soon as possible."

"Um."

Qin Yu nodded and turned to leave.

"Brother Yu."

Xiao Yu called out to him.

Qin Yu turned around and met her gaze.

The girl stood at the door, holding the jade bottle in her hand, a slight smile on her lips, and an indescribable tenderness in her eyes.

"Thanks."

"...You're welcome."

Qin Yu waved his hand and strode away.

Xiao Yu stood at the door, watching his figure disappear at the end of the corridor. She glanced down at the jade bottle in her hand, and the smile on her lips widened.

Help him cultivate...

Although Qin Yu spoke with a straight face, Xiao Yu always felt that this was just an excuse he had made up.

I just wanted to find a reason to make her accept the pill without feeling guilty.

This guy...

Xiao Yu pressed the jade bottle against her chest, feeling a warm glow in her heart.

After delivering the Qi-gathering powder, Qin Yu did not return to his dormitory, but instead headed straight for the competition venue.

Although Zhao Yuan was defeated yesterday, the matter is clearly not over yet.

Occasionally engaging in combat training can also help accumulate practical experience.

Qin Yu walked to the registration desk, ready to register for the challenge, when a familiar voice suddenly came from behind him.

"Qin Yu!"

He turned his head and saw Luo Zheng striding towards him.

This guy still had that same burly build, his upper body as strong as a wall, but his legs were so thin that you worried they might break at any moment.

"You... waited here specifically for me?"

Luo Zheng walked up to him, grinned, and revealed two rows of white teeth.

"That's right! I came first thing this morning, just waiting for you!"

"What are you waiting for me for?"

"I'm challenging you!"

Luo Zheng said matter-of-factly.

Qin Yu raised an eyebrow, somewhat puzzled.

"Challenge me? What's your current ranking?"

Nine hundred and ninety-one.

Luo Zheng scratched his head and chuckled.

"I'm not as tall as you, but I can challenge you."

Qin Yu remained silent for a moment.

According to the rules of the points-based tournament, there are no restrictions on lower-ranked players beating higher-ranked players, but higher-ranked players beating lower-ranked players is only allowed within the top 50.

The total points used to calculate rankings will not change even if you lose.

However, the points that students use to exchange for resources in the Scripture Pavilion or Pharmacy will be deducted if they lose, and a portion of the points will go to their opponent.

"Are you... sure?"
