High Martial Arts: First day of dropping out of school, reward: Devouring the Emperor's Body

Li Mo slowly returned to his dormitory; he was about to collect the rewards from the system's mission.

Upon completion of the system task, Li Mo will receive 5000 Devouring Points, 1000 System Points, and most importantly, the right to unlock the new talent.

Unfortunately, this new talent is completely random and Li Mo cannot choose it freely.

Fortunately, with the Devouring Emperor Body, any talent can evolve and upgrade, so any talent can be used.

"Ding! System rewards have been issued. Your 5000 Devouring Points and 1000 System Points have been credited to your account. Would you like to unlock the new talent immediately?"

Without hesitation, Li Mo immediately replied, "Activate!"

Beat a fight, bike change bike!

Li Mo waited anxiously for the system to perform the random process, and soon he heard the system notification again.

"Ding! Congratulations on successfully unlocking your talent! You have obtained the new Nature-type Lightning talent [Palm Lightning]"

What?

It's actually a lightning-type talent?

Li Mo was overjoyed; his luck was simply too good.

It's important to know that among all natural-type talents, lightning-type talents are almost always considered to have the strongest attack power, the fastest speed, and the greatest destructive power!

Even among natural-type talents, there are actually different levels.

There is a saying that there are no bad talents, only bad martial artists.

However, there are still differences in the strength of talent.

A martial artist with lightning-type talent is much stronger than most natural-type talent practitioners at the same level.

Because the bonuses from lightning-type talents are just too comprehensive!

When Li Mo was at Starry Sky University, the university's rules also prioritized cultivating martial artists with lightning-type talents.

It could be said that if Li Mo's innate talent, the Waste Flame, had been replaced with a lightning-type talent of the same level, he might not have ended up being expelled from the school.

If given the choice, Li Mo would prioritize lightning-type talents.

After all, besides being naturally strong, the lightning talent also has good compatibility with his current fire talent.

Generally speaking, fire-type ability users usually work in conjunction with lightning-type ability users because both of their abilities are highly destructive, and when combined, they can achieve a synergistic effect greater than the sum of their parts.

Lightning talents can perfectly compensate for the low hit rate and slow casting speed of fire talents.

But now, Li Mo has mastered both of these talents, which are arguably the most destructive and compatible among the natural types.

Unfortunately, Li Mo's Palm Lightning talent was initially only C-level.

Logically speaking, the highest talent randomly selected should be SS-level, so Li Mo's luck wasn't very good.

Fortunately, Li Mo had already reserved Devouring Points for this new talent.

With the 5000 Devouring Points given by the system mission, he should be able to directly upgrade this lightning-type talent to S-rank.

"Ding! You have used Devour Points to enhance your Palm Lightning talent, evolving it into Berserk Lightning!"

"Ding! You have used Devour Points to enhance your Berserk Lightning talent. Your Berserk Lightning talent has evolved into Mystic Heaven Lightning!"

"Ding! You used Devouring Points to enhance your Xuan Tian Thunder talent. Your Xuan Tian Thunder talent has evolved into the S-rank Nine Heavens Xuan Thunder!"

Li Mo cleared all the Devouring Points and finally obtained an S-rank talent, Nine Heavens Profound Thunder!

The reason why this lightning-type talent has no evolution branches is because the evolution path of Palm Lightning is the path of extreme strength and ferocity, which is also the path that Li Mo needs most.

Because his fire-type talent sacrificed some destructive power in exchange for the characteristic of burning blood and qi.

Therefore, his lightning-type talent must be the most destructive.

And the Nine Heavens Thunder did not disappoint him.

【Nine Heavens Mystic Thunder】: A magnificent heavenly thunder, invincible in divine might. A mythical heavenly thunder said to originate from beyond the nine heavens, possessing unparalleled destructive power.

Li Mo opened his palm, and the next moment a purple lightning bolt flashed between his palms.

Even from just a glimmer of lightning, Li Mo could feel the violent power emanating from it.

This is absolutely an overwhelming and unparalleled offensive power!

Li Mo guessed that he could probably blow up this dormitory with just a little bit of energy.

Li Mo quickly withdrew the Nine Heavens Profound Thunder, fearing that he might accidentally cause another disaster.

Boom boom boom!

Just then, there was a knock on the dormitory door.

Then, Zhang Ruxue actually brought in several plates of fancy dishes.

Li Mo was instantly flattered: "Company Commander, how can I let you personally serve me the dishes?"

Zhang Ruxue smiled slightly: "Heh, you broke through to the Foundation Establishment Realm in just one month. Don't even mention me serving you dishes, you could accept it even if the commander of our military region served you dishes."

Zhang Ruxue's purpose in coming was naturally to hear that Li Mo had broken through to the Foundation Establishment Realm.

She was somewhat incredulous, considering that she and Su Xiaoxiao were already hailed as rare geniuses in the military.

She broke through to the Foundation Establishment Realm in about six months, while Su Xiaoxiao took eight months.

For this, the two were commended by the entire military region.

However, Li Mo was a prodigy she never imagined, reaching the Foundation Establishment realm in just one month!

According to military regulations, soldiers in their basic training period are not allowed to receive any commendations; otherwise, the entire army would probably have to hold a special commendation ceremony for Li Mo by now.

Now Zhang Ruxue understands why Starry Sky University went to such lengths to get Li Mo back.

Such geniuses are rare and hard to find!

Zhang Ruxue checked Li Mo's cultivation level and found that it was indeed similar to what Su Xiaoxiao had said. He had not only successfully broken through to the Foundation Establishment Realm, but also had a very solid foundation!

What's even more terrifying is that, theoretically, there should be a period of weakness of one to two days after breaking through to the next level, but less than an hour or two has passed and Zhang Ruxue has found that Li Mo has almost fully recovered.

These main dishes are almost unnecessary!

However, Li Mo was already extremely hungry, and breaking through to the next realm had consumed almost all of his energy, so he began to wolf down his food without any regard for his image.

"Great! Okay!"

Zhang Ruxue used two "good" characters in a row to express her appreciation for Li Mo.

Then she added, "With your current skills, I'm afraid you'll be able to bring some honor to me and our company during the elite recruit combat assessment held by the military region in a few days!"

Li Mo was somewhat surprised upon hearing this: "What kind of elite recruit combat assessment?"

Li Mo had never heard of any combat assessment. As far as he knew, recruits would be assigned to their respective units after three months of basic training.

Then came the formal soldiers!

Zhang Ruxue explained that this was a new rule in recent years.

In recent years, the army of the Great Xia has suffered from a shortage of talent and a lack of promising young men. Therefore, in order to cultivate talent, the army has begun to adopt a merit-based recruitment method.

The previous recruit assessment was one type, and the current elite recruit combat assessment is another.

To put it simply, it means selecting outstanding recruits from various recruit camps and directly deploying them to the battlefield for real combat testing!

This method is similar in principle to how martial arts universities select top students through tournaments.
