Global Towers: Starting With The SSS-Rank Talent, God-Tier Extraction

Even though Liu Yan tried to speed up the process of meeting with the investors one by one to discuss their cooperation and the signing of contracts, because there were simply too many of them, he was kept busy till the afternoon before it finally ended.

There were still some investors who wanted to discuss the possibility of cooperation with Liu Yan, but they were politely and tactfully rejected.

It wasn't that Liu Yan didn't want to work with them, but he really didn't have the time.

At the freshmen assembly just now, the principal had announced that the freshmen sparring competition would be held tomorrow.

The reason the freshmen sparring competition was held was to be ranked and thus obtain various rewards.

On the other hand, it was to help the Awakened have a certain understanding of their own strength to have a higher survival rate in their later adventures in the Tower.

However, because level three of the Tower was about to open soon, there wasn't much time left.

As such, to avoid injuries during the spars which would, in turn, affect the Awakened's adventures on level three of the Tower, the sparring competition this time wouldn't be a traditional two-on-two battle or a wheel battle.

The rules had been changed. The ranks would be determined by the attack power each Awakened could implicate on the "strength-testing pillar" that was in the field.

The strength-testing pillar was made of special alloy material that was extremely hard and could withstand the strongest attack of a level 10 Awakened.

Currently, the highest level of the Awakened present was around level 5, so it was completely enough.

After the Awakened landed their attack on the strength-testing pillar, the pillar would convert the attack power of the Awakened into points that would be displayed on the display that was next to the pillar.

This way, everyone would be able to know their true combat strength and have a clear understanding of their own strength.

And now, with still some time left. Liu Yan needed to properly improve himself.

In the adventures of the first two levels of the Tower, Liu Yan had also realized that he was lacking in some attributes.

At the moment, his agility was very exaggerated, his ice and fire attributes were very strong, and his long-range archery attacks were ultimately powerful.

But he was not without weaknesses. Liu Yan was clear that his current weakness was his lack of close combat ability.

Although long-range attacks were sufficient for his survival, and most of the time, he focused on long-range attacks, he still needed to improve his close-combat ability to avoid accidents.

Liu Yan still felt that if he wanted to truly become stronger, he needed to have extremely strong integrated combat abilities and become someone without any weaknesses!

Coincidentally, he had a skill-exchange voucher, so he hurriedly went to the exchange counter to use it.

As he was ranked first on the overall ranking list, the skill-exchange voucher that Liu Yan had obtained was an A-grade voucher. It could be used to exchange for any cultivation method that was A-grade or below.

Since he was using the voucher, he naturally had to exchange it for the one with the highest grade.

Liu Yan immediately started searching for an A-grade close-combat cultivation method.

Very quickly, he was attracted by one of them.

[Blazing Tyrant Fist]

[Grade: A]

[Effect: The purest close combat technique. It contains the blazing fire in the user's body and stimulates the potential of the physical body, triggering a powerful explosive force!]

Unlike other close-combat cultivation methods that had some other uses like long-range attacks or speed improvements, the Blazing Tyrant Fist was a pure close-combat technique!

Whether it was speed or long-range attacks, Liu Yan was not lacking in any other aspects. He only needed to maximize his close-combat ability.

Among the A-grade skills, the others covered some other aspects, so their close-combat ability was not as powerful as the Blazing Tyrant Fist.

This was the main reason why Liu Yan was interested in this skill.

Other than that, it was also because the Blazing Tyrant Fist was related to the fire element since it would raise the strength of one's body through the fire element.

Liu Yan just happened to have an A-grade skill, Flame Control. Wasn't it just nice for cooperation between the two skills to unleash an even more terrifying close-combat ability?

"I'll exchange for this!" Liu Yan confirmed.

Seeing this, the staff member reminded with a hint of surprise, "Sir, the Blazing Tyrant Fist's close-combat ability is indeed very strong and can be considered the strongest among the A-grade skills, even stronger than many S-grade skills. However, even though it's strong, it still has obvious flaws. There's no improvement in the other aspects at all."

Liu Yan understood that the staff member was giving him a friendly reminder. However, he had already considered this and this was the exact effect he wanted because he was not lacking in any other aspects.

"I understand, this is it," Liu Yan smiled.

Seeing this, the staff member did not say anything more. Everyone had their own choices.

After exchanging, Liu Yan went to the side and used Divine Extraction on the Blazing Tyrant Fist.

[Divine Extraction of the Blazing Tyrant Fist (A-grade) has been successful. Obtained: Blazing Tyrant Fist (S-grade)!]

[Blazing Tyrant Fist]

[Grade: S]

[Effects: A top-tier close-combat skill. It will contain raging flames within the body and stimulate the potential of the physical body, perfectly fusing the power of the raging flames with the power of the physical body, and unleashing a terrifying combat power!]

After reading the introduction, Liu Yan was pleasantly surprised.

Thank God he had Divine Extraction which allowed him to directly upgraded the A-grade skill into a powerful S-grade skill.

After the upgrade, the Blazing Tyrant Fist's combat power had grown several times stronger.

Not only was its combat strength great, but Liu Yan had also noticed that not only would the power of flames be contained within his body, but the flames would directly fuse with his body. It was truly monstrous!

Liu Yan had the A-grade skill, Flame Control, to begin with. He reckoned that with the combination of the two, the effects of the skills would at least reach the strength of an SS-grade skill.

In fact, it might even reach the SS-grade!

Liu Yan hurriedly chose to learn it.

The Blazing Tyrant Fist's book directly transformed into a ball of flame and flew into Liu Yan's body.

Instantly, the method to use the Blazing Tyrant Fist appeared in his mind.

At the same time, his body found the skill extremely familiar. It was as if the Blazing Tyrant Fist was not a skill that he had just obtained, but a skill that he had already learned and practiced for many years.

Liu Yan was secretly surprised. The skill books of the Federation were truly incomparably powerful.

However, he had heard some news that not only did the skill books require extremely powerful strength to be produced, but they also required extremely rare materials.

Therefore, skill books were extremely rare in the Federation.

For example, this Blazing Tyrant Fist was the only skill book in the entire exchange department.

Suppressing the joy and excitement in his heart, Liu Yan then went to the weapons exchange department.

At present, he was still wearing the D-grade Wind Rider Set.

Unlike skills, equipment was extremely difficult to obtain.

The equipment that could arrive here was basically at least C-grade, but at a glance, let alone D-grade, even E-grade equipment was rare.

It was extremely rare to have a set of D-grade equipment like Liu Yan did.

Meanwhile, the weapon-exchange voucher that Liu Yan had obtained was a B-grade voucher and was extremely precious.

It was said that normally, the person who was ranked first in the overall ranking here would only be presented with a C-grade voucher.

The reason why Liu Yan had been able to obtain a B-grade voucher was that he had broken the highest historical record. That was why an exception had been made.

However, it was a pity that the voucher could only be exchanged for one piece of equipment, not one set.

Since he could only exchange for one piece of equipment, he had to choose the one that would be the most useful to him.
