Infinite Divine Gears in the City

Chapter 30

The group of busybodies around them felt that a thunder rang in their ears and they were all stunned.

[Feral Screams]

Releasing horrible magic sound waves to attack enemies, silencing the enemies in the area, and causing magic damage.

Damage: 1-75 (+70% Spell Power)

Silence Time: 0-1.6 seconds

Luo Li’s body that was shrouded in the core power of [Feral Screams] was shaking.

The magic ripples that swept across her body, caused huge damage to her and also interfered with the movement of her energy.

The strength that she built up was suddenly disintegrated and the momentum that she had locked on Li Rui was unbreakable which caused her hands, that were holding the knife, to shake violently.

But it was this minor movement that caused the wooden knife to move aside and swept next to Li Rui’s ear.

Li Rui leaned his head back while clenching his fist. A force from the ground rose along the thigh to his waist.

He turned around and used all the power from his entire body strength and threw out a large punch.

The dull sound of fist cutting through the air finally stopped at the tip of Luo Li’s nose.

The wind from the fist blew onto her golden bangs and they started to dance around. There was also a trace of consternation in her bloody eyes.

After two seconds of fixation, Li Rui’s clenched fists suddenly spread out as he flicked Luo Li’s forehead.

“Huhu …”

Luo Li dropped her wooden knife and squatted, holding her head with tears in her eyes.

Li Rui did not hold back and flicked her a little too hard.

Luo Li quickly raised her head and there was a red patch in the center of her forehead.

Seeing that the blood-red in her eyes has dissipated and the crystal eyes regained a sapphire’s translucency, Li Rui finally relaxed.

‘How did she look like a stranger as soon as she got on the ring?’

‘Too used to killing?’

‘That’s impossible, it was just a game…’

If Luo Li was an angel outside of the ring, she was definitely a demon on stage just now.

The evil smile was deeply imprinted in Li Rui’s heart.

It consisted of three points of madness, three points of bloodthirst, three points of evil, and one point of dangerous attraction…

It was like a blooming poppy flower. Beautiful, dangerous, evil, and deadly…

“That was so cool!”

“That’s why they are worthy of being the captain and deputy captain. They are so strong!”

“The moment when the captain suddenly stopped towards the end, I almost blew up!”

“We’re definitely winning this year’s championship!”

“The captain’s voice is so god damn loud and my ears are still buzzing…”

There were cheering and discussion in the ring and Li Rui lifted Luo Li who was squatting on the ground and rubbed her head fiercely.

“Don’t leave after class. I need to ask you something!”

“Oh.”

Luo Li touched her forehead softly and walked down the ring with tears behind Li Rui.

Both of them left the ring heavy heartedly.

Li Rui’s full attention was on his status panel.

“You have defeated a hero and gained 12 EXP.”

“Complete the daily mission and gained 20 EXP.”

“You have upgraded!”

A strange force swept through the whole body and Li Rui looked at his data.

[Li Rui]

Race: Human

Energy Level: None (Spiritual Awakening)

Level: Level 2

Exp: 20/150

HP: 75/76 [Undigested Extra Life: 149 Points]

MP: 0/19

AR: 7

MR: 9

AD: 11

AP: 10

Gold Coins: 67

13-Point Basic Shards

He has levelled up but other than his EXP, all the other data remained the same.

It seems like he has not inherited the hero’s attributes to grow.

Li Rui was a little disappointed.

Three options were presented to him.

[Talent Upgrade ]

[Skill?Upgrade

[Equipment Upgrade ]

Choose one of the three?

This was different from what he had imagined!

“Status, can you explain it to me?”

“Choosing to upgrade talent —?you can upgrade the existing talent skills, or activate new talent skills.”

“Choosing to upgrade skill — you can upgrade the hero skills you already have, or activate new hero skills.”

“Choosing to upgrade equipment — you will get a new blank equipment bar, which can be used to purchase equipment or synthesize higher level equipment.”

It was simple and clear but stingy!

Suddenly, Li Rui froze.

Get a new blank equipment bar?

“Am I able to add a new blank equipment bar every time I level up?”

System: “Yes, as long as you select this option.”

‘Wow, then wouldn’t I be invincible in the future?’

Li Rui was excited and immediately calmed down.

‘This world is so dangerous. Let’s talk about it after living through level six. It might just be the end for me if I become too arrogant…’

‘I should listen to my heart…’

After contemplating for a while, he still chose to upgrade his talents.

Hero skills were very powerful, but without sufficient AP even the best skills would be useless.

[Feral Screams] could immediately use up all of his AP and all the other skills would technically be useless.

Similarly, 67 gold coins could not buy anything except for health potions and an extra blank equipment bar was useless.

Only talent skills did not require any consumables. As long as the cooling time was over, it could still be used again.

Then he selected?[Resolve] .

There were three talents that could be selected.

Without any hesitation, Li Rui chose the last talent.

[Bone Plating]

(Active) The damage from the next three skills or attacks from the enemy is reduced by 20 points.

Duration: 5 seconds

Cooling Time: 120 minutes

The original passive skill has now become an active skill but Li Rui was disappointed at all.

This was a very powerful talent for combat and the restriction of the same enemy had been removed, which meant that no matter who it was, as long as Li Rui launched the talent, the damage from the next three attacks within 5 seconds from the enemy would be greatly reduced.

‘I wouldn’t feel hurt when you hammer me but you would when I hammer you.’ Hurting each other would become Li Rui’s regular tactic in the future.

If he could not hide, he would need to tank the attack and forcefully retaliate. Li Rui found that his skills and tactics has became more and more violent as the days go by.

This talent could also prepare him for the upcoming games.

After the battle with Luo Li, Li Rui’s arrogance of not wanting to play with children was completely gone.

An Awakener was hidden in his own school. What about the other schools?

None? Haha, this was impossible in terms of probability!

ShangHai’s Yi Zhong Middle School has a long history of beating other schools in various competitions. The former Ming De Middle School where Li Rui was currently studying in couldn’t even enter the top ten schools in ShangHai.

That was when Li Rui was away and Luo Li led the team.

A team that was led by an Awakener couldn’t even enter into the top tens of the city?

What’s more frightening is that ShangHai’s Yi Zhong who was the strongest in the Yangtze River District is not even the most powerful school in the country.

Shudi Tianfu Seventh Middle School and The affiliated High School of Imperial University. Both these schools are the veteran that are competing for the country’s first all year round.

Even if they were placed in the world, these two schools had always hovered in the top five and never fell out of the first echelon!

When Li Rui won the national championship a year back, both schools had extended an offer to him and if they were in ShangHai, he might have gone one of these schools.
