Chapter 61: Chapter 59: Su Mo’s New Skill and Divine Level Mount (Extended Chapter)

"The Defense Force Field, huh? It’s a decent skill, so your expectations shouldn’t be too high.

If you’re not satisfied, well, when you accompany Old Bai out in a couple of days, just bring back some extra materials, and I’ll have Old Gongsun make you another one."

???

Upon hearing this, Su Mo’s forehead was filled with question marks: "Wait, teacher, what did you just say? This Skill Book was crafted? Isn’t it supposed to drop from a Dungeon?"

"That’s what I wanted to talk to you about. You should have learned in your theoretical knowledge classes at school that,

while Awakened can use Skills Scrolls, they can’t use Skill Books.

Even though Skill Scrolls in the world are bizarre and varied, some abilities don’t apply to Awakened,

and many Ability Awakened have incredibly powerful abilities, but developing them is extremely difficult. Then there’s this old man Gongsun Mu who spent decades researching and finally came up with this thing."

At this point, Tu Hongwu paused, and Su Mo didn’t interrupt, because he knew that what Tu Hongwu was going to say next was the key point.

Tu Hongwu cleared his throat gently and began again: "Even though this thing has been researched out for a while, and the Skill Book used is just an ordinary one, it can’t be mass-produced.

The main reason is the lack of an extremely rare material,

Though saying it’s rare, it’s not particularly scarce, but the Dungeon’s difficulty is rather high, and the opening time is quite short.

Each year, it only opens for a short period of 7 days after the high school exams, entering this Dungeon has no level requirement, but there’s one restriction, which is the Awakening time must not exceed one month."

Upon hearing this, Su Mo suddenly understood, no wonder these high school students are awakened just before the high school exams every year.

It turns out it’s because of this Dungeon!

Awakened just 10 days before the high school exam, and the exam itself lasts about seven or eight days, leaving the remaining time to conquer the Dungeon.

And those family heirs have lost this qualification because they awakened early on.

But also, the most important thing for a family lineage is that they are all Professional Awakened.

Those who need this kind of Skill Book are Ability Awakened, so they don’t need this thing at all.

Seeing Su Mo’s sudden realization, Tu Hongwu nodded in satisfaction:

"Looks like you’ve guessed it. That’s right, it’s just as you thought. Although I don’t know what this year’s Dungeon will be like, I believe with your strength it’ll be no problem.

So, if possible, I hope you can bring back more materials for our country, for our Human Race.

Of course, the state will also reward you for bringing back these things."

Su Mo nodded seriously: "Okay, teacher, I understand, I will try to bring back as many materials as possible."

Tu Hongwu chuckled softly: "No need to be so tense. Right, since you topped the high school exams this year, you can make a request to the state, have you decided what to ask for?"

Upon hearing this, Su Mo fell silent.

To be honest, Su Mo originally thought that after topping the exams, he would ask for an awakening opportunity for his sister.

But after obtaining the Forced Awakening Stone, it seems that it won’t be necessary.

Should I ask to have my sister go to school with me?

Thinking about this, Su Mo said: "I want my sister to go to school with me."

Hearing this, Tu Hongwu coughed violently, covering Su Mo’s voice: "Cough, cough, Little Mo, what did you just say? I didn’t catch that. Don’t rush with requests to the state,

As for letting your sister attend university with you, just tell me. I do have some connections over at Qingbei University,

Speaking of, I seem to be an honorary vice-principal there, just mention my name when you go over."

"Well, I want a mou... "

Before Su Mo could finish his sentence, Tu Hongwu covered his mouth and pretended to be surprised:

"What? You want a Divine Level Mount! That’s pretty tough!

But I’ve heard that the Old Chu Family has a Divine Level Mount egg.

Though it’s a bit tricky, don’t worry, I must fulfill the request you make to the country on their behalf."

Originally, Su Mo felt that his cheap master was being a bit eccentric, a little over-dramatic, but after hearing his words, he quickly nodded:

"Thank you, Master, yes, I do want a Divine Level Mount."

Tu Hongwu smiled and nodded, thinking to himself, ’This kid learns quickly.’

Beyond the stars, in a large slaughter Dungeon, Chu War God looked at the projection of Tu Hongwu and his disciple’s performance with a flushed face of anger.

If not for the two people pressing on his shoulders beside him, he would already be storming back to Earth by now.

"Let me go! Tu Hongwu, this old guy is so shameless, let me go now, I want to go back and cut him down!"

"Old Chu, calm down, calm down. Though Tu Hongwu acts a little shamelessly, he hasn’t broken any rules, besides we’re stationed here, and it’s not appropriate for you to leave."

"Yeah, Old Chu, it’s not worth it. It’s just a Mount egg."

Chu Zhongtian: "Bullshit, what do you mean just a Mount egg, this is a Divine Level Mount egg, it’s for my nephew, this bastard... #%@%&*... and he even agreed on my behalf, I really #%$#@%&&!#... "

...

At this moment, Tu Hongwu stood before Su Mo, gently stroking his blood-red beard, and looked at Su Mo seriously:

"Little Mo, your teacher here is a rough person, and everyone’s awakened abilities are different, to say I can teach you something would be a lie.

The only thing I can do is to nurture you, help you avoid detours, and make you the next generation of Guardian for the Human Race as soon as possible,

so if there’s anything you don’t understand or you need materials or resources, you can tell me, and I’ll do my best to help, understood?"

Su Mo quickly responded: "Teacher, I wanted to ask how to use that Forced Awakening Stone."

"It’s about your sister, right? It’s actually quite simple, just let her drip blood on this stone, it’s been tested and is very safe.

While there’s still time, is there anything else you want to ask or need?"

"Well, I’d like some Skill Scrolls related to Defense, especially those that can convert Defense into other attributes."

Tu Hongwu’s blood-red eyebrows slightly furrowed, wanting to say something, but ultimately he didn’t, after a long silence, he finally spoke:

"Such things are quite rare, but I will help you inquire about them, and once you get to Qingbei University, you can also search in the library for this type of skill, if there are any, I’ll keep an eye out for you.

Alright, it’s getting late, my avatar here is about to dissipate,

Once you come out of that Dungeon, head over to Qingbei University, I’ll wait for you there and formally hold a banquet to accept you as my disciple."

After Tu Hongwu finished speaking, another red light appeared in his hand, pointing at Su Mo’s body, breaking the seal on experience after level 10. With that, two beams of white light flashed, and both of their figures disappeared.

When Su Mo opened his eyes again, he was already standing in the plaza of Celestial City High School.

The already numerous reporters became even more overwhelming after Su Mo became the top scorer in the exams, completely blocking Celestial City High School.

On the high platform, Old Wang spoke eloquently, while Wang Defa, Su Mo’s homeroom teacher, despite looking a bit pale, was still surrounded by countless reporters.

Only when Su Mo appeared did all the reporters focus their attention on him.

At that moment, the terrifying experience within Su Mo surged like a flood, instantly breaking through level 11, and without stopping, he broke through to level 12.

Counting the breakthrough in the Dungeon, this was a three-level consecutive breakthrough, and with the seal lifted, couldn’t he continue grinding and leveling?

And considering his current wealth, isn’t it possible to get a mount for transportation first?

Although the teacher mentioned getting a Divine Level Mount egg, that thing is still an egg and who knows how long it will take to hatch.

Moreover, a mount just hatched from an egg isn’t rideable immediately.

Just like before when the weapon didn’t fit, going into battle with bare hands wasn’t an option, at least something for transportation is necessary.
