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

"What if my legs get...?"

Xiao Yu blinked and asked another question, two blushes rising on her fair cheeks.

"Ahem, I mean, it would be more practical if you also had a knee brace or something on your legs."

Qin Yu made up a lie without changing his expression, secretly congratulating himself on his quick thinking.

I almost blurted out something like, "It would be even more perfect if she wore black stockings on her legs."

"Knee pads?"

"Yes, after all, the legs are an important point of leverage in combat, so protecting them is definitely the right thing to do."

Qin Yu nodded seriously, and without changing his expression, forcefully steered the conversation back to cultivation.

Xiao Yu stared at Qin Yu for a while, then suddenly chuckled softly, but didn't ask any further questions.

The two walked together toward the center of the camp, where dozens of freshmen had already gathered and were chatting in twos and threes.

Instructor Ruolin stood at the very front, with several enormous griffins behind her.

These magical beasts are enormous, with broad backs, and can carry twenty to thirty people at a time. They are the standard equipment for transporting students to Canaan Academy for long distances.

"Everyone, board the monsters according to your assigned groups. Do not make loud noises along the way, and do not play around on their backs."

Ruolin's voice wasn't loud, but it reached everyone's ears clearly.

Qin Yu was assigned to the second group, along with Xiao Yu, Xue Ni, and the other boys who had previously imitated his barefoot training.

"Brother Qin Yu, what's Canaan Academy like inside?"

As soon as she settled on the griffin's back, Xue Ni came over and asked with a longing look on her face.

"It's huge, bustling, and full of powerful figures."

Qin Yu gave a rather simple evaluation.

"Isn't that obvious..."

A boy named Lu Renjia next to him muttered something under his breath. He was the first person to take off his shoes and imitate Qin Yu.

"Then tell me about it?"

Sheryl immediately turned her anger towards him.

"Uh...it's huge, very lively, and teeming with powerful individuals?"

Lu Renjia scratched his head and managed to utter the exact same words as Qin Yu.

The people around immediately burst into laughter.

The griffin flapped its wings and soared into the sky, and the city of Utan rapidly shrank in the field of vision, turning into a tiny dot on the ground.

Qin Yu withdrew his gaze and closed his eyes to rest.

Without the contact of the ground beneath his feet, the efficiency of cultivating the Earth Origin Technique did indeed decrease considerably.

During the flight, mentor Ruolin would occasionally patrol between the different groups, answering the freshmen's questions.

Griffins are fast fliers, but it still takes at least two months to travel from Utan to Canaan.

"Two months?"

Upon hearing the news, many freshmen wailed in despair.

Sitting on a griffin's back for two months—just thinking about it makes my butt hurt.

"If you think it's too far, you can walk there yourself, I won't stop you."

Instructor Ruolin added with a smile, and all the freshmen immediately fell silent.

As she passed by Qin Yu, she paused slightly.

"Qin Yu, are you thinking about cultivation again?"

"Yeah, I'm used to it."

Ruolin nodded, a hint of admiration flashing in her eyes.

In the first few days of the trip, the novelty hadn't worn off yet, and the new students were quite excited.

During the day, they would sit on the back of a griffin, chatting and cultivating, and at night they would land in towns or inns along the way to rest. Life wasn't too difficult.

As expected, Qin Yu's cultivation efficiency was far less than that on the ground when he was on the back of a griffin.

The core of the Earth Origin Technique is to draw the power of the earth into the body, but at a height of hundreds of feet above the ground, where can the power of the earth come from?

"Looks like we'll have to reverse our day and night schedule."

Fortunately, griffins often need to stop and rest, so Qin Yu simply reversed his biological clock.

During the day, he would rest or chat with Xiao Yu and a few other people.

At night, when the group landed at the post station, he would find a secluded place, stand barefoot on the ground, and circulate the Earth Element Technique to absorb the power of the earth.

However, due to the need to travel, Qin Yu's cultivation time on the ground was relatively limited.

Half a month later, Qin Yu felt that the fighting spirit vortex in his dantian had reached its limit.

"We're about to break through."

That night, he found an open space far from the post station, sank his feet deep into the soil, and activated the Earth Element Technique with all his might.

The power of the earth surged into his body like a tide, rushing along his meridians to his dantian, propelling the fighting spirit vortex to spin wildly.

The cyclone spins faster and faster, and its volume continues to expand until it reaches a certain critical point.

"Bang!"

With a soft sound that only Qin Yu could hear, the vortex suddenly contracted, becoming more condensed and heavy than before.

Samsung Fighter.

Qin Yu opened his eyes, slowly exhaled a breath of stale air, and nodded in satisfaction as he felt the power within his body increase.

"Brother Qin Yu, you... you're cultivating again?"

Xiao Yu's voice came from behind.

Qin Yu turned his head and saw the girl dressed in casual clothes standing not far away, looking him up and down by the moonlight.

"Um."

Qin Yu looked down at his bare feet, but he wasn't embarrassed at all.

"You've achieved another breakthrough?"

Xiao Yu took a few steps closer and sensed that Qin Yu's battle aura was even stronger than before, a hint of surprise flashing in her eyes.

In just half a month, he advanced from a two-star Dou Zhe to a three-star Dou Zhe?

She's been cultivating for the past two weeks, so why can't she even break through to the ninth level of Dou Qi?

Qin Yu only reached the level of a one-star Dou Zhe at the age of eighteen, which means that his previous cultivation speed was not much faster than mine, and may even have been slower.

How come he became so powerful after advancing to the Dou Zhe level? Could it be that Qin Yu has a family heirloom of a peerless martial arts technique?

"Good luck."

"...Your luck is a bit too good."

Xiao Yu muttered something under her breath, sat down next to him, bent her legs together, and hugged her knees with her arms.

The moonlight shone on her fair legs, giving them a soft glow.

Wow, even though they're not black stockings, this flesh color... it's still quite eye-catching.

Noticing Qin Yu's gaze, Xiao Yu's lips curled up slightly. She slowly lowered her bent legs and then adjusted her posture, crossing her legs together.

Qin Yu looked up and saw Xiao Yu's "I knew it" expression, so he simply stopped pretending.

I, Qin Yu, just love looking at legs, is there anything wrong with that?

Stop barking, you come and see for yourself.

"Brother Yu, do you think... we'll be in the same class?"

Xiao Yu tentatively changed her form of address, observing Qin Yu's reaction.

"What does it matter if we're not in the same class? Being in the same class doesn't necessarily mean we'll be that familiar with each other, right?"

Thinking back to my past life, even until I graduated from university, there were always a few classmates whose names I couldn't match with their real names.

If Canaan Academy didn't have many class-based group activities, the final result would probably be the same.

Seeing that Qin Yu didn't react to the change in address, Xiao Yu moved closer, her mind replaying her grandfather's words.

Observe first, then befriend, but don't be too proactive.

After spending this time together, Xiao Yu felt she had observed him well enough and it was time to move on to the next step.

Hmm... why am I feeling this strange sense of excitement?
