Struggling To Earn Points

After a moment of silence, the man who comes with Yu Fong rushes toward him while Da Jing and Li'er also rush toward the stage.

Yu Fong has already woke up when he hit the ground. Tian Feng, on the other hand, is still sitting the stage unable to stand up.

Yu Fong gets up with the help of the man and stares at Tian Feng for a while before leaving. His face is still pale. However, his body is not injured at all.

Everyone is discussing with each other about the battle earlier in bewilderment. They want to know why the conclusion is as such. It was supposed to be Yu Fong winning. Why had he fainted at the last moment? What was the last skill that Tian Feng used earlier?

"Are you okay?" Li'er asked hurriedly and try to support Tian Feng to stand with Da Jing.

"I'm not fine." Tian Feng answer weakly and at the same time, he asked Yuki. [Can you help me, Yuki?]

Yuki: "Not enough points. I can't help."

[Can't I borrow some first?]

"Nope."

Li'er and Da Jing were carrying Tian Feng toward the medicine hall now. As a student here, they can get treatment for normal injury for free.

After a while, they arrived at the medicine hall. Li'er proceeded to tell them the situation from the beginning to the end. Luckily, she ran into an acquaintance elder whom she delivered herbs to in a mission from yesterday.

The elder was treating Tian Feng while listening to the story. However, she didn't believe the last part at all. She thought that maybe Li'er has seen wrongly.

15 minutes later, the wound was bandaged and Tian Feng was fed a pill. He then fell asleep. Da Jing asked Li'er to go back to their room but Li'er insisted on waiting until he's recovered. So they decided to cultivate next to Tian Feng the whole night.

Tian Feng woke up once during the night, however upon seeing that his friends are by his side. He felt warm. He learnt a lot of thing from the battle earlier. He had learnt of how weak he is right now.

Had it not been a spar, his opponent could instantly kill him on the first strike. He also realized that he lacks combat experiences, he can't effectively use his skills.

Earlier, he had won by using the element of surprise. His opponent didn't know that he can use soul energy. Thus Tian Feng successfully attacked his soul. Even then, his opponent only fainted for a moment before he's awake again. He would be dead already if it's a life and death battle.

From the start to the end of the fight, his opponent used only two skills to attack him. On the other hand, he had to use every single skill he possessed. He needs more skills.

More importantly, he needs life-saving means, be it a skill or a pill. He would be dead if there's no medicine hall nearby today. This is the most important thing. If he's dead, then everything else is meaningless.

Looking at Li'er, he remembers the couple from earlier. He might be an anti-social person but he did read a lot of novels and he knows full well that if he didn't have enough strength, he won't be able to protect his treasures and precious people.

In a few years, Li'er will become a grown-up woman and then there will be many people who would want her. If I didn't become stronger by then, I'll be likely to lose her.

If before, his goal was just a casual goal then now it has become real. He needs to become stronger to protect his treasures and precious people.

He is a man with a system and that means he's the protagonist in this world so long as he didn't give up, he'll succeed in whatever he does. Thinking of this, he determination once again strengthen and his motivation also become stronger.

[Yuki! Help me looking for all surviving means.]

Yuki: "Alright, wait a moment..."

"There are many surviving means. However, I can recommend something for your situation.

Find a skill with healing effect and fused it with your cultivation technique. It'll allow you to heal yourself when you circulate your energy.

Unlock the forging function and forge healing pills.

Learn medical."

[Learn Medical takes too long and I'm not into it. Unlocking pill forging is the best but I don't have points. I guess I'll have to look for books tomorrow.]

[Eh... How much points needed for you to help me do research?]

"Six hundred thousand."

If he could get the system to help him do research then in the future he wouldn't lack points anymore. Thinking about this, he decided to drop by researching hall once again to see if he could get some energy pill.

Although usually, he can only collect pill once a month, the elders there want Li'er sword and thus they made an exception. Besides, it's only a small amount anyway.

[Eh...Yuki! Earlier you said I don't have enough points so you can't help me in battle. What if I have points, what would you do to help?]

"There's a combat mode function which enhances your combat sense and allows you to see the opponent stats like in the games when activated."

[How would that help me win?]

"If the opponent is too strong, you will still lose. It only aids you to win easier. You will know when you have it."

[Then how much is it?]

"Just four hundred thousand"

Seeing that it's still a while before dawn, he decided to continue sleeping.

In one of the rooms within the academy, two men were seen talking to each other. "Why did you used only two skills against him?"

"I don't want to kill him. My other skills are fatal."

The man who answer was Yu Fong. He already recovered completely.

"What do you think about it?"

"The God Tier technique can't injure me but I didn't expect that his cultivation technique also cultivated soul energy. Had my soul been a bit weaker, I would be dead already. I was lucky."

"As expected, he's the one who caused that light beam."

"You're right but he's still too young. We'll wait a few more years."

In the morning, Tian Feng woke up and have breakfast with Da Jing and Li'er. It's been a while since the three of them eat together.

Tian Feng comes back to the Medicine Hall while Li'er and Da Jing went back to their room. He started to browse books one by one waiting for Yuki to choose.

Unfortunately, he can't find a single book. Knowing that there's nothing he can do about it, he heads to the Researching Hall.

If there's no book, he can always buy one with enough points and only Researching Hall can earn him more points.

Finally, he only collected a small amount of 50000 points. After exchanged everything into points, he only got 190000 points. It's far from enough to do anything. Thinking about levitation, he felt regret. But there's no medicine for regret so he can only find another way.

Not knowing where to go next, he browses around the researches on sale mindlessly.

"FengFeng! this one, this one!"

Awake from the voice, he asked. [What? What is it?]

"I discovered the skill that has the healing effect."

[Oh! which one?]

"The one called 'Basic Human and Beast Recovery System'"

[I'll buy it. Exchange 200 points to energy pills.]

[I'll keep browsing, maybe there'll be something else.]

It's already noon time and there's nothing that catches Yuki interest anymore so he decided to go for lunch first.

Back in his room, Tian Feng doesn't look that happy because the price for fusing skill has increased to two million points.

He reluctantly spent 1000 points to study the research in hope of manually fusing but nothing happened. The research only showed the process of recovery which is nothing compared to his biology class in the previous world.

How good would it be if he was a researcher in the past life?

[Yukiiii... how can I earn points?]

"You can go to Blacksmith school and sell items"

Boom!

Why didn't I think of that? I have the heaven-defying smiting function. All I need is blueprint and materials which is available in the blacksmith hall. A few minutes is all I need to smith something. "hahaha" he laugh out loud.

Without waiting any further, he immediately heads to Blacksmith Hall. On the way, he was thinking of the excuse to join the hall. Last time, he was rejected due to being too small. "I'm only going there to read, so there shouldn't be any problem."

Soon he arrived in front of the Blacksmith Hall. He entered and directly go to read the book. He intended to collect all the blueprint available then buy the materials from the hall. It doesn't matter whether he can join or not. As long as he can bring out the item to sell, it's all that matter.
