Playing a DPS Role with Absolute Defense-Chapter 59 - 58: College Entrance Exam Rewards!

"A skill closely related to oneself?"

Seeing this skill introduction, Su Mo was visibly taken aback for a moment.

He remembered that the textbooks clearly stated that only professional awakened individuals could awaken skills related to their professions.

Moreover, these skills are closely related to their professions.

Similar to a swordsman’s swordsmanship, sword qi, slash, or a flashy skill like "Sword Twenty-Three" or some such.

However, alternative awakened individuals do not have such things.

The ability they awaken is already akin to a skill, like Su Mo’s Absolute Defense.

Placed on heavy cavalry, it would be considered a skill.

It’s just that professional awakened individuals need to consume something like rage to use skills.

Whereas ability-type awakened individuals have their awakened abilities become instinctive in an instant, like limbs easily controlled.

So for ability-type awakened individuals to acquire skills, they can only use skill scrolls.

But there are countless flashy skills in the world, some similar to the rubbish skill of ballistic trajectory to the left that Su Mo encountered before.

So good skill scrolls are really expensive, but professional awakened individuals don’t have this concern.

Because the price of their skill books is relatively transparent and not expensive.

After all, awakening a skill with a skill book purely depends on what profession you awaken, and has nothing to do with the skill book itself.

A skill book is merely a key to unlocking the shackles within you.

Although Su Mo had never encountered a skill book, he was certain that these skill books must be different from the ones people usually use.

If Su Mo recalled correctly, ordinary skill books only state the awakening chances.

Some professional awakened individuals even use hundreds of skill books just to awaken a single skill.

But this thing claims a definite awakening, the only requirement being a level limit.

And Su Mo felt he could use it!

At this moment, his heart skipped a beat.

Could it be! Even ability-type awakened individuals can obtain related skills with such a skill book!

If that’s the case! 𝒇𝒓𝙚𝒆𝔀𝓮𝓫𝒏𝓸𝙫𝓮𝓵.𝓬𝙤𝙢

With this thought, Su Mo didn’t hesitate at all and immediately decided to use the blank skill book.

"Young man, I know what you’re thinking, but I advise you not to rush. It’s best to use it with your master present."

As these deep tones fell, a man in his thirties, dressed in a white robe, slowly appeared.

His appearance wasn’t particularly remarkable, except for his two thick upward-reaching eyebrows.

"White God!"

As soon as Su Mo saw him, the two words slipped instantly out of his mouth.

That’s right, this person was the one who, at level 12, became the top scorer in the entrance exam as an ordinary student and achieved divine-level status over 20 years, saving Great Xia multiple times from crises—in the flesh, the White War God!

After blurting out ’White God,’ Su Mo felt it was a bit rude and promptly bowed and greeted, "This young one, Su Mo, greets White God."

"No need to be so nervous; this is but a mere projection of my divine thought,

I was actually just curious about what kind of genius could break my record of achieving the top scorer in the entrance exam at level 12, and also get Tu Hongwu, that old killer, to promote you and even give you an award.

But seeing you now, you are indeed outstanding. In the future, Great Xia might gain another divine-level powerhouse."

Su Mo was about to humbly respond, but the next moment, a blinding red light suddenly appeared, and Tu Hongwu, with his head full of red hair and clad in a red robe, appeared before Su Mo.

He first looked at Su Mo with satisfaction, then turned with disdain to White War God and said:

"Ha, what you said is redundant. Could anyone I’ve taken as a disciple be lacking?

No boasting here, Old Bai, but your talent is just child’s play compared to my disciple!

Tell me, what exactly brought you here to see my disciple? You’re not trying to steal him, are you?

I’m telling you, no chance!"

As he finished, Tu Hongwu seemed a bit nervous, blocking Su Mo behind him as if afraid someone would snatch his precious disciple away.

After all, when it came to reputation, Old Bai did outshine them considerably, not just in renown, but also in looks...,

Thinking of this, he felt it diminished his valor, so he spat forcefully.

Bah, he’s just a pretty boy, what’s the use of looks!

"I’m not that petty. I’ve said I’m here to present him with an award and talk to him about something."

Upon hearing this, Tu Hongwu’s wary expression slightly relaxed, but then he immediately stood between Su Mo and White War God again, "No, if there’s anything, you can talk to me!"

After exchanging a glance, both of them vanished again, leaving Su Mo completely bewildered.

Su Mo shook his head, estimating they likely had something to discuss and would return later.

So he didn’t think much and continued to look through the system’s rewards.

[Breaking the level record for top scorer in the college entrance exam, reward: 5 Dungeon Passes of King-level]

[Achieving top scorer within Level 10, System Space expands tenfold (This reward is provided by Bai Yuanhao)]

Only then did Su Mo finally understand what White God meant by the award given to him.

And he finally knew why Old Wang insisted on him becoming the top scorer before reaching Level 10.

If the System Space expanded tenfold, when reaching level 10, the System Space would become a 100x100 cube.

But if it further expanded tenfold on top of that, it would transform into a terrifying 1000x1000.

Su Mo had long been troubled by the small System Space, but now, he felt that he wouldn’t worry about this issue again until he reached divine level.

As Su Mo was thinking this, Tu Hongwu and White War God reappeared.

White War God approached Su Mo, placing a hand on his shoulder, and spoke to Tu Hongwu:

"In that case, I’ll take your disciple with me!"

Tu Hongwu shook his head: "No hurry, I need to first unlock my disciple’s experience seal, allowing him to break through Level 10, and you can realize your reward at the same time."

The previously calm-faced White War God changed his expression immediately upon hearing this, bursting out:

"Damn you, I’ve long said that it’s impossible for anyone to become the top scorer before reaching Level 10,

Turns out it was you, sealing his experience bar! If you pull this, I’m calling it cheating!

Don’t you know that even with my god-level achievements in spatial arts, helping others expand System Space is incredibly difficult!"

"What are you talking about? My disciple genuinely entered the national exam relying on his level 9 skills,

It’s just that he killed too many enemies in the Three-Eye Dungeon and needed to break through to Level 10. If he had already leveled up, wouldn’t such a promising seedling have been wasted,

Cut the crap, words you’ve spoken, you can’t walk back now! Do you still want to borrow my disciple or not?"

(It’s a bit late, apologies, the next Chapter will be a longer one)
