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

Without hesitation, Li Mo immediately made his talent selection.

The Devouring Emperor Body itself has no combat attributes; it only enhances basic attributes such as life cultivation.

Its true power lies in its ability to elevate any talent, mental cultivation method, or combat skill that Li Mo acquires to its maximum potential!

For example, Li Mo's previous E-level talent, Waste Flame, could theoretically evolve into the ultimate SSS-level fire talent as long as he had enough talent points.

Other talents are equivalent to this.

In this world, martial artists can awaken their talents from the age of 14, but the types of talents that can be awakened are incredibly diverse and numerous.

According to incomplete statistics, there have been at least hundreds of thousands of different types of talents over the past three hundred years.

However, they can be roughly divided into several major categories.

First is the Enhancement type. As the name suggests, the effect of this type of talent is to directly enhance a person's physical body.

It can grant a person immense strength, unparalleled speed, or even transform their body into steel.

This type of martial artist often uses their physical body to fight directly.

As far as Li Mo knew, people from the Black Soil Tribe, one of the world's three great nations, often awakened this talent.

This type of talent is also the most numerous in the world, with 70% of the world's population possessing awakened enhancement-type talents.

This results in martial artists with this type of talent having an extremely high ceiling and an extremely low floor.

Then comes the second-ranked natural talent.

The so-called natural talent refers to a martial artist who possesses the talents of various elements of heaven and earth.

For example, wind, fire, water, thunder, earth, and so on.

Those who possess this type of talent make up 20 percent of the world's population.

Li Mo's previous talent, Azure Flame, also belonged to this category.

The White Gull Empire, one of the world's three great nations, has the most warriors with this kind of talent.

As for the remaining two types of talents, there are very few possessors.

One type is the manipulation type. This type of martial artist is the rarest. These martial artists are very skilled at controlling various modern weapons.

For example, the most advanced super-energy quantum cannons and femtosecond mechs today all require such martial artists to operate.

However, due to the extreme rarity of such martial artists and their strict control by the state, Li Mo has never seen one to this day.

Then there is the last major category of special talents. There are not many people who possess this type of talent, but it accounts for the largest proportion of the talents awakened by all mankind.

Even if you combine the three types of martial artists—Enhancement, Nature, and Manipulation—their talent types don't exceed ten thousand.

The remaining hundreds of thousands of talents all belong to the special talent category.

They are called special talents because these talents have many strange and unusual effects.

All sorts of amazing effects are available!

There are even talents that have nothing to do with combat, such as brewing wine and making food.

Li Mo thought for a while. He didn't need the enhancement-type talent at the moment because the basic improvement from the Devouring Emperor Body was already powerful enough.

Manipulation-type talents are all related to modern weapons, and even further evolution cannot enhance them, so their effect is not significant.

As for special talents, those are entirely a matter of luck.

This is a system reward opportunity to select a talent, so we must be careful!

If Li Mo wants to draw talents again in the future, he will need the system's points to draw them, and there is no guarantee that he will be able to draw the talent that he wants.

After much deliberation, Li Mo decided to take a steady approach and chose the natural fire element talent that he was most proficient in.

His initial talent was the Azure Flame, and he used this fire-type talent to cultivate when he entered the Martial Arts High School.

Even after it became an E-level talent, the Waste Flame, Li Mo still used it to cultivate for three years and even studied at Starry Sky University for a semester.

Li Mo was extremely proficient in using fire-based abilities.

This is the most appropriate starting point.

"Ding! Since you have chosen the fire element talent, the system has automatically selected the C-level talent [Phantom Fire] for you."

At the same time, the words "Phantom Fire" appeared in the talent section of Li Mo's system panel.

Although it was only a C-level talent, Li Mo was very satisfied.

You should know that he had been using the E-level talent Waste Flame before.

The power of this waste flame is even weaker than that of ordinary flames in some respects.

This talent can be enhanced with Devour Points. Once enhanced enough, it can evolve, becoming Rank B, and then Rank A.

Each time an evolutionary node is reached, different evolutionary branches will be available for Li Mo to choose from.

Although they are all fire-based talents, each type of fire talent has a different effect.

Some flames are extremely hot, some can explode, and some can heal. Li Mo can choose different fire-type talents depending on the situation.

But no matter what, fire-type talents are what Li Mo is most comfortable with!

Then, Li Mo slowly stood up, his mood instantly improving, and the gloom of being expelled from school was swept away.

He glanced around the dormitory; this so-called top martial arts university didn't seem to have anything special about it.

From this moment on, Li Mo's identity will change from student to soldier!

Just then, Li Mo heard a notification in his ear.

"Ding! System newbie mission issued. Newbie mission content: Enter the military camp, obtain the new recruit medal, mission reward: a random martial arts manual, no penalty for mission failure."

Upon hearing the details of the mission, Li Mo couldn't help but smile slightly.

As expected of a beginner's mission, it's far too easy.

Although Li Mo had never served in the military, he still knew a little about military matters.

Every new recruit entering the military camp receives a recruit medal from the military, partly to identify their identity, since the front lines are not only haunted by strange beasts but also by soldiers from enemy countries.

The recruit medals of the Great Xia Dynasty can effectively distinguish between friendly and enemy forces.

Secondly, this new recruit medal also signifies that the person who receives it has officially become a soldier who protects the Great Xia!

Unless it's a special case like desertion, it's impossible not to receive the recruit medal.

Just then, Li Mo heard a knock on the door. He looked up and saw a woman walk in.

However, this woman was strikingly beautiful and dressed in military uniform, clearly no ordinary woman. According to Li Mo's observation, she was at least a martial artist who had reached the Foundation Establishment stage...

The woman's eyes widened in surprise when she saw Li Mo as she walked in.

This surprise quickly turned into astonishment.

She didn't say anything, and turned back to look at the dormitory room number.

Only after confirming that she hadn't gone to the wrong place did she speak to Li Mo.

"Are you sure you're not mistaken? You're a student from Starry Sky University who's going to join the army this year?"

"Wait a minute! Starry Sky University is even willing to send a promising student like you? Is Starry Sky University suddenly having a change of heart?"
