Chapter 3: Pick Up Scraps in the Beginning, Become Heaven-defying in the Later Stages

Translator: Nyoi-Bo Studio  Editor: Nyoi-Bo Studio

Yan Yuanzhi, who had a powerful C-grade strength-type talent, was actually instantly killed by a level 1 saber-toothed tiger!

When the group of students saw this, they were all extremely frightened and looked at the saber-toothed tiger with a face full of fear.

Fortunately, the saber-toothed tiger seemed to be afraid when it looked at the crowd and saw that there was a faint white halo covering the students’ bodies. It left.

“Damn, fortunately, we still have the beginner’s protection halo. Otherwise, we’d be dead for sure.”

“Yan Yuanzhi took the initiative to make a move just now, and the beginner’s protection halo had disappeared immediately.”

“This is only a level one monster, and it’s already so powerful? Even Yan Yuanzhi with the C-grade talent isn’t a match for it!”

“Looks like our instructor is right. The beasts in here are extremely powerful. We have to be extra careful and not be as arrogant as Yan Yuanzhi.”

“What a pity. He had such a good talent at the C-grade, yet he was instantly killed in the beginning. If he had been careful, he would’ve been destined to become an expert.”

“We should form a team. We’ll only have a chance if we work together to deal with the beasts. There’s no chance at all if we face them alone!”

“We have to hurry up. The beginner’s protection halo is about to disappear.”

“…”

Following that, the students discussed among themselves as they quickly formed teams and prepared to work together to deal with the beasts.

At this moment, Liu Yan was also secretly surprised at the strength of the beast, and was eager to increase his strength.

An SSS-grade talent was bound to be incomparably powerful. He had to make use of it to grow stronger. He couldn’t be like Yan Yuanzhi, who had fallen before truly growing.

According to the description, this talent could extract everything.

Since it could extract non-living things, then could living things be extracted as well?

To confirm his guess, Liu Yan came to the side of the tree that had fallen from the palm strike just now and used his talent.

With that, a faint green light enveloped the tree. The tree quickly withered, and an invisible power flowed into Liu Yan’s body.

[Divine Extraction of the tree has been successful. Obtained: vitality +0.00001!]

Seeing the stats that he had successfully extracted, Liu Yan was speechless.

Using Divine Extraction on these trees could make him stronger, but the progress was a little too slow.

If Liu Yan was given enough time to extract all the trees in the forest, he would be able to improve a lot in a day.

However, the key point was that he did not have that much time now.

That being said, there was also good news. At the very least, it meant that he could also extract living creatures.

Immediately, Liu Yan set his sights on Yan Yuanzhi’s corpse which was not far away.

Seeing that the other students were all busy forming teams and no one was paying attention to him, Liu Yan hurriedly walked over.

There were two holes in Yan Yuanzhi’s chest, and fresh blood was continuously flowing out from them. His death was extremely tragic.

Coming into close contact with a corpse, Liu Yan’s heart was filled with fear.

However, to become stronger and survive, Liu Yan had no choice but to endure his fear and touch it.

A green light enveloped the corpse, and a few lines of words appeared in front of Liu Yan.

[Divine Extraction of the corpse has been successful. Obtained: Strength +0.1, D-grade skill “Strength Enhancement”]

[Strength Enhancement]

[Grade: D]

[Effects: in Berserk mode, your strength will increase by three times while your spirit will decrease by 50%]

Seeing the notification, Liu Yan was ecstatic.

His strength attribute had directly been increased by 0.1. Although 0.1 did not seem like much, Liu Yan could clearly feel that his strength had improved by a little.

It would’ve probably taken at least half a month to achieve this effect via abnormal exercise or training.

Apart from that, he had also obtained a D-grade skill.

Liu Yan guessed that the skill extracted was somehow related to the corpse’s talent. Since Yan Yuanzhi had awakened a C-grade strength-type talent, the skill Liu Yan had extracted was then a D-grade strength-type skill.

Immediately after, Liu Yan’s gaze shifted to the dagger on Yan Yuanzhi’s waist. This was a beginner weapon issued by the Federation.

Due to the scarcity of equipment, a beginner was only allowed to choose to obtain one piece of equipment issued by the Federation on his first entry of the Tower.

At that time, Liu Yan had chosen a piece of defensive equipment as a precaution. As such, he was now lacking a piece of offensive equipment.

After taking Yan Yuanzhi’s dagger, Liu Yan took a look.

[Federation Special Dagger]

[Grade: F]

[Effect: Attack +10]

Liu Yan immediately used Divine Extraction.

A white light enveloped the dagger, and a notification appeared before his eyes.

[Divine Extraction has succeeded in extracting the impurities. Congratulations on upgrading the dagger to E-grade!]

When Liu Yan looked at the stats again, the effects of the dagger had already changed to “attack +50”.

Instantly, Liu Yan’s overall strength had received a huge increase.

Firstly, his attributes had received a certain increase.

Secondly, he had obtained a D-grade strength-type skill, which had improved his strength quite a bit.

Lastly, he had two pieces of equipment now, one offensive and one defensive, both of which were E-grade.

It could be said that Liu Yan’s strength had increased several times in an instant!

On top of that, this huge increase was only the initial effect of his SSS-grade talent, Divine Extraction.

Liu Yan understood that the true strength of his talent lay in the fact that he could continuously use it on all sorts of non-living creatures and living creatures, which would allow him to continuously increase his strength in all aspects. He had unimaginable growth potential.

If Divine Extraction was used to extract the impurities of equipment, it could upgrade the equipment, turning waste into treasure.

If it was used on corpses, Liu Yan could obtain attribute points and skills, constantly improving himself.

Liu Yan pondered over his next plans.

Although the SSS-grade talent Divine Extraction was incomparably powerful, it still needed time to grow.

Especially after witnessing the strength of the beasts in this world as well as Yan Yuanzhi’s tragic death, Liu Yan understood this even more.

If he wanted to survive in this world, he had to be careful and not be arrogant.

A level one beast was already so powerful. Liu Yan couldn’t imagine how powerful a beast at a higher level would be.

Fortunately, he could use Divine Extraction on corpses. With that, Liu Yan’s path would be much simpler, and he could just tag along behind his classmates.

In the process of fighting beasts, the corpses of beasts and humans would be inevitably produced.

Liu Yan could then extract the corpses of both humans and beasts.

From the corpses of humans, he could obtain corresponding skills and certain attributes.

From the corpses of exotic beasts, Liu Yan guessed that he could obtain certain abilities, but more importantly, he could obtain many attribute points. After all, the attributes of beasts were very powerful.

This also meant that in this Tower, Liu Yan didn’t even need to fight with beasts in the early stages. He only needed to constantly pick up scraps, and he would be able to obtain all sorts of powerful skills and large amounts of attribute points.

This way, by continuously picking up scraps, Liu Yan could crazily increase his strength. When his strength was sufficient, he would be able to easily defeat beasts alone!

After thinking all this through, Liu Yan felt much more at ease.

As expected of an SSS-grade talent, it was truly incomparably powerful and was simply heaven-defying.

Relying on the Divine Extraction talent, Liu Yan could rapidly increase his strength without any life-threatening danger in the early stages.

And in the later stages, when his strength had grown, Liu Yan would no longer have to fear the beasts. He would be able to continuously defeat high-level beasts and increase his strength even faster then.

His potential in the future was unimaginable. There was simply no upper limit!
