Gao Wu: I Can Draw a New Talent Every Month

149: The big move of Leban City”It’s actually a Seven-Star Demonic Beast core!”

Li Canglan’s heart gave a jolt.

Previously, just the Dragon breath spat out by the Black Scaled Flood Dragon had caused his strength to soar, reaching the Three-Star Peak in one go.

If he had a Seven-Star Demonic Beast core, his Divine Runes would condense at a terrifying speed!

He might even have a chance to become a Five-Star Martial Master by tomorrow!

Seeing the shocked expressions on everyone’s faces, Li Bancheng was very satisfied.

He continued, ”Not only that, but on behalf of the Li family, I will gift Student Li an A-grade Combat Weapon!”

”Whether you need a weapon or armor, you can choose whatever you like!”

Hiss! A chorus of gasps echoed throughout the scene.

An A-grade Combat Weapon of choice!

And it was a reward from the Li family itself, not the Academy!

How could they compare to such extravagance!

Although their own families were wealthy, they wouldn’t spend money like water the way the Li family did!

An average Six-Star Martial Master at the Peak would only use A-grade Combat Weapons, and they couldn’t even manage to have a full set of A-grade Combat Weapons.

An A-grade Combat Weapon of choice meant that as long as Li Canglan was shameless enough, he could directly pick the top-tier items among the A-grade Combat Weapons!

A candidate who had just come of age and was participating in the Martial Arts Exam could instantly obtain an A-grade Combat Weapon, an A-grade Martial Skill, and a Seven-Star Demonic Beast core.

These were things others dreamed of.

Li Canglan was also surprised by the other party’s generosity.

After a brief shock, Li Canglan thanked Li Bancheng.

”From today on, I am a member of the Imperial Capital Academy!”

He naturally knew why Li Bancheng was gifting him presents on behalf of the Li family.

It was nothing more than recruitment or an attempt to build a good relationship with him.

Li Canglan had no interest in being someone’s hired muscle.

However, building a good relationship was a decent choice.

Only a fool would pass up free benefits!

Since Li Canglan had decided to join the Imperial Capital Academy, the other teachers chose to leave after exchanging a few pleasantries.

Only Li Bancheng remained, taking out an exquisitely packaged jade box and handing it to Li Canglan.

Inside were the Seven-Star Demonic Beast core and the A-grade Martial Skill scroll.

”I don’t have any extra A-grade Combat Weapons on me. After you report to the school, I will personally take you to select one, how about that?”

Li Bancheng’s gaze was gentle.

”Or, you can come with me to the Capital now, and I’ll send you back after you’ve picked your Combat Weapon.”

”It just so happens that the Heaven And Earth Treasure needed to treat He Qianxun’s injuries can only be retrieved back in the Capital.”

A Genius of Li Canglan’s level was worth spending a little extra time on.

Li Canglan hesitated for a moment before replying, ”Alright, then I’ll have to trouble Teacher Li to take me there.”

Li Bancheng stood up with a smile and patted Zhang Nanbo on the shoulder.

”Your Luo Feng City has produced an incredible Genius.”

Zhang Nanbo looked gratified.

Li Canglan’s growth actually had nothing to do with him.

However, Li Canglan had considered him because of that small matter.

Being both a Genius and grateful was their Luo Feng City’s good fortune.

Li Canglan followed Zhang Nanbo to the tarmac.

The Capital and Luo Feng City were thousands of miles apart, requiring them to cross countless Demonic Beast habitats.

Even a Peak Martial Master like Zhang Nanbo wouldn’t dare claim he could safely travel back and forth between the two places.

In such times, one naturally had to rely on specially built stealth fighter jets.

In front of powerful Demonic Beasts, the combat power of a stealth fighter jet was almost negligible, but its advantage was that it could block the detection of most Demonic Beasts, thereby ensuring the safe round trip of passengers.

Given Li Bancheng’s status, he naturally didn’t need to wait for a regular flight.

Besides the pilot, there were only Li Bancheng and Li Canglan on the plane.

A few hours later, they arrived at the tarmac outside the Capital Base City.

Upon arriving here, Li Canglan truly felt the difference between the Capital and Luo Feng City.

In Luo Feng City, the merit exchange center had to be kept close to the city gates so that they could evacuate in time if a large group of Demonic Beasts caused a disturbance.

But the Capital’s tarmac was dozens of kilometers away from the city walls!

Compared to Luo Feng City, the Capital seemed as if it had never suffered from the wormhole disaster.

Li Bancheng was long accustomed to this and personally drove Li Canglan toward the Capital.

As the two got closer and closer to the city walls, the walls, which looked like an ancient giant beast resting on the ground, slowly appeared before Li Canglan’s eyes.

The hundred-meter-high wall looked boundless at a glance.

The solemnity and sense of oppression it exuded were suffocating.

Furthermore, although he hadn’t seen it with his own eyes, Li Canglan instinctively felt that there were various other defensive measures on the wall.

”What kind of enemy could make the Capital so battle-ready?”

Li Canglan’s soft murmur reached Li Bancheng’s ears.

Li Bancheng chuckled, ”It only looks strong. To a Marquis, it would only take a casual strike to destroy this city wall!”

Li Bancheng’s words made Li Canglan’s pupils shrink violently.

He didn’t know what Materials the wall was made of, but Li Canglan believed that even if he struck with all his might, he probably wouldn’t be able to leave a dent on it.

Was a Marquis really this powerful?

The two approached the city gate.

They were also Martial Artist squads going out to hunt Demonic Beasts.

In Luo Feng City, the members of such squads were mostly One-Star Warriors, but here, rather than calling them Martial Artist squads, it would be more accurate to call them Martial Master squads!

Many people had just experienced slaughter, and their released Qi and blood had not yet converged.

There were only a few scattered Three-Star Martial Artists among them, and these Three-Star Martial Artists were extremely unwelcome in the teams.

The vast majority of the other members were Martial Masters!

Li Canglan, a Three-Star Martial Artist, was at the very bottom here!

Of course, Li Canglan didn’t feel inferior because of this.

His confidence came from his youth.

In just a few days, he would be able to surpass most of the people here again!

As a recruiter specially dispatched by the Imperial Capital Academy, Li Bancheng didn’t need to wait in line.

The two walked toward a special queue.

The Martial Masters who were queuing up to count their harvest cast curious glances.

”Isn’t that Teacher Li from the Academy? Why did he bring only one person back?”

”Usually, Teacher Li would gather at least ten candidates before coming back. Has the sun risen from the west?”

”Could this candidate have something extraordinary about him?”

”He must be a Zhuangyuan from some Base City. Only a Zhuangyuan is worth Teacher Li making a special trip.”

”What are you saying? Basically, all Base City Zhuangyuan come to our Capital for further studies. If he had to make a special trip for every Base City, wouldn’t Teacher Li be exhausted to death?”

The group speculated about Li Canglan’s background.

However, the subjects of their guesses were all candidates who had long been famous.

They hadn’t even heard the name Li Canglan.

After the two entered the Capital, Li Canglan was once again shocked by the pedestrians on the road.

Among these passersby, there were not only Martial Masters.

He even saw many existences whose aura was no less than that of Li Bancheng beside him!

”It truly lives up to its name as the Capital!”
