First Battle, Attacking a Level 1 Mutant Beast

Liu Yan had a faint newbie protection aura on him, making the saber-toothed tiger turn a blind eye to him.

A green light enveloped him, and a few lines of words appeared in front of him.

[Divine Extraction of the corpse has been successful. Defense +0.1! Obtained grade-D body strengthening skill.]

[Tyrant King Kong Body]

[Grade: D]

[Effect: In enhanced mode, your physical defense will be improved by 20%.]

He had obtained another grade-D skill!

However, in the eyes of the students, the scene was extremely strange!

Liu Yan was sitting next to Yan Yuanzhi's dead body, fumbling through the corpse with a sinister smile on his face.

Had he gone crazy?

The students panicked.

This was the first time they had entered the Tower. Not only were they no match for a mutant tiger, but even an expert with a grade-C talent had been finished off by the tiger. Now, they were but a sheet of loose sand!

They had to survive in such a place for seven days? What kind of joke was that?!

"D*mn, luckily we still have the newbie protection halo. Otherwise, we'd be dead."

"The newbie protection halo disappeared right after Yan Yuanzhi took the initiative to attack."

"It's only a level 1 monster and it's already so strong? Even Yan Yuanzhi, who has a grade-C talent, was no match for the monster!"

"Looks like the instructor was right. The mutant beasts here are extremely powerful. We can't act alone anymore. We must form teams immediately."

"We'll have to hurry. The newbie protection halo is about to disappear."

"..."

They could only place their hopes on Li Cheng and a few other experts with grade-C talents.

The team formation was completed very quickly.

Li Cheng invited Liu Yan again. After all, the latter was still a child, while Li Cheng was already an adult. In addition, the death of Yan Yuanzhi must have been a big blow to him, so he had gone crazy.

Since they had come in together, they had to leave together too.

Liu Yan did have a good impression of Li Cheng. Just the fact that the other party dared to bring a group of people through the areas where mutant beasts roamed and came to the Academy to seek help to protect those people was enough to show that he was a good person.

However, Liu Yan still refused and even said, "It's best if you don't bring them along. They'll be a burden to you. It's not impossible to survive for seven days if you find a good place to hide."

Li Cheng was quite surprised to hear Liu Yan say such cruel words while looking so young.

Seeing that Li Cheng couldn't understand, Liu Yan didn't say anything more.

"Good luck."

Just as Li Cheng and the others pitied Liu Yan, they saw him do something strange. He ran to the side and hugged a collapsed big tree, the work of a mutant beast. Then, he seemed to have fallen into deep thought.

It's over, it's over. This person has really gone crazy.

No one waited for him any longer. They formed teams and immediately set off in another direction.

Liu Yan remained where he was and used Divine Extraction on the tree. A faint green light enveloped the tree, and the tree quickly withered. An invisible force flowed into his body.

[Divine Extraction of the tree has been successful. Physique +0.00001!]

Liu Yan was speechless when he saw the stats.

He could become stronger by using Divine Extraction on trees, but it would be a little too slow.

If he were given enough time to use Divine Extraction on all the trees in this forest, he would be able to improve his stats a lot in a day. Unfortunately, he did not have that much time.

Liu Yan was not discouraged though.

His mind was clear. He could use Divine Extraction on anything, be it mutant beasts, corpses, or weapons and equipment.

As for living humans and mutant beasts, it was probably because his talent level was not high enough yet, thus he currently couldn't use Divine Extraction on living things.

Since he couldn't do that, added to the fact that the first floor of the Tower was so dangerous, as long as he followed behind the students, he could always pick up the corpses.

As such, Liu Yan followed them silently. He was like a crow waiting to eat scavenge.

Soon, the white halo around everyone's body disappeared. The novice protection time was over. Everyone was exposed to terror.

In less than 10 minutes, Liu Yan's wristband sent out a notification.

[Grade-F awakener Wang Hu has died 300 meters southeast of you, please be careful!]

[Grade-F awakener Zhao Tian has died 300 meters southeast of you, please be careful!]

Two had died at once! This was too fast!

Liu Yan looked at the special wristband. The man in black didn't tell him the details in the beginning, but he didn't expect that it could show his companions' locations of death!

The function that was originally used to help the awakeners avoid danger had become extremely beneficial for Liu Yan to pick up scraps. He picked up his dagger and quickly passed through the dense flowers and trees, heading southeast.

Soon, he arrived at his destination. Two corpses were lying on the ground, fresh blood still flowing. One of them even had its internal organs exposed, looking extremely terrifying.

However, there was no sign of any mutant beasts near the corpses!

Liu Yan immediately became alert.

Mutant beasts were very smart, and they were able to smell the scent of living beings.

He knew from the sanctuary that he could not underestimate any mutant beast!

As expected, as he looked around, he saw a mutant wild wolf hiding in the grass not far away. It had a black face and sharp fangs. The saliva that drooped down from its mouth was mixed with blood, making it look extremely terrifying. Its green eyes were staring at its prey, Liu Yan.

Liu Yan quickly checked the mutant beast's attributes with his smart bracelet.

[Blood Wolf]

[Level: 1]

[HP: 300/300]

[MP: 200/300]

[Strength: 28]

[Physique: 25]

[Agility: 35]

[Vitality: 16]

[Adaptability: 15]

[Talent: none]

[Skills: grab, pounce]

It was a level 1 mutant beast!

Liu Yan knew that even Yan Yuanzhi, who had great defense stats, was no match for a level 1 beast, so if he faced one head-on, he would definitely not get anything good out of it.

But if he retreated now, when would he be able to level up?

Level 1 mutant beasts were already the lowest level among beasts on the first floor!

For his sister! He would charge!

Liu Yan's eyes turned cold as he charged forward with his dagger.

He immediately activated the grade-D skill, Strength Enhancement.

With that, the veins on his body bulged, and his muscles were rapidly filled with blood. The berserk mode had been activated!

Liu Yan's strength immediately increased by three times.

Holding the dagger tightly, he rushed forward.

The blood wolf also pounced on him.

Liu Yan did not dodge and activated Tyrant King Kong Body!

In addition to the protection of his grade-E equipment arm guard, he was able to withstand the attack of the blood wolf.

But then, the blood wolf started to bite with all its strength as if it wanted to tear off a piece of meat from Liu Yan's body!

Liu Yan was in pain, but he couldn't care less.

He clenched the dagger tightly and stabbed at the wolf's head repeatedly.

The blood wolf had thick skin and flesh. A mere grade-E dagger could not cause it much damage! The weapon hit its head, but it was like cutting a stone.

Liu Yan was anxious! He couldn't die in a place like this. If he died, Liu Qingxue would be thrown out of the Tower Academy. He had to live!

"Die!"

Liu Yan and the blood wolf started to wrestle each other. The blood wolf, who refused to let go, was dragged by him and thrown to the ground, drawing a parabola line in the air! It made a dull thud!

Unexpectedly, the grade-E equipment plus the skill Tyrant Body were still quite reliable. Liu Yan's arm was not pierced by the bite,

But at this point, the blood wolf was enraged. It pounced again. This time, it aimed at Liu Yan's defenseless head!
