Chapter 32: You Have a Fire Ability?
After leaving the principal’s office, Yan Tai was walking Fang Ye back to his dormitory.
Of course, saying he was “escorting” Fang Ye was just an excuse. Fang Ye was an adult—he knew how to get back to his dorm by himself.
Clearly, Yan Tai had something to say.
Sure enough, after they had barely walked out of the faculty building, Yan Tai asked, “Fang Ye, can you tell me how many free attribute points you were rewarded with from Forbidden Zone No. 2 this time?”
“100 points!” Fang Ye replied truthfully.
“Oh? 100? That sounds about right. A purple evaluation gives 60 points, and a red evaluation gives 80…” Yan Tai nodded, then asked, “Where did you allocate the points?”
Fang Ye answered honestly again, “I put them all into my mental attribute.”
“Into mental?”
Hearing this, Yan Tai frowned.
“Fang Ye, why did you choose to allocate points to your mental attribute? It’s not that the mental attribute isn’t important, but for freshmen like you who are just starting out, what you need early on is strength… even agility or constitution would be better!”
“Teacher, I put the points into mental because…” Fang Ye said slowly, “I was lucky and got an additional reward.”
Yan Tai was stunned. “What reward?”
Fang Ye didn’t speak; he just raised his hand.
In the next moment—whoosh!
A flame ignited from Fang Ye’s hand.
The sudden appearance of a raging fire startled Yan Tai!!
“A fire ability?!!”
Yan Tai was utterly shocked.
Then his eyes turned red with excitement!!
In this world of extraordinary powers, elemental abilities were rare, and a fire ability was especially potent among them! Not only was it scarce, but it also had enormous potential.
“Did you… complete the most difficult Task 3?” Yan Tai asked excitedly.
Task 3 in Forbidden Zone No. 2 was a challenge everyone wanted to conquer. Now his student had solved it—how could he not be excited?
Yan Tai guessed this because only Task 3 in Forbidden Zone No. 2 explicitly mentioned a talent reward.
“Of course not!”
Fang Ye quickly shook his head. “I chose the first task. I got the fire ability because I received the highest task evaluation. Forbidden Zone No. 2 mentioned that achieving the highest task evaluation comes with a chance for additional rewards.”
“I was just lucky and got the fire ability!”
There was no way Fang Ye was going to admit that he had actually chosen the most difficult task.
If word got out that a freshman had effortlessly completed a task that no one else in the country could conquer and even earned the highest evaluation, it would definitely bring him trouble.
He’d be investigated thoroughly.
Forget keeping his Saitama-like physique a secret; even the fact that he was a transmigrator might be exposed.
Because…
In this world of extraordinary powers, there were people with mental abilities that could make others speak the truth…
“I see…” Yan Tai believed him.
Yan Tai couldn’t fathom that Fang Ye could complete the hardest task and receive the highest evaluation.
After all, the country had tried so many times, losing countless elites, yet no one had ever completed it. It had to be extraordinarily difficult.
“Even so, you’re already incredible! This is a fire ability! It’s the kind of talent people dream of having!” Yan Tai smiled, a hint of envy in his voice.
“Teacher, it’s just an ordinary flame,” Fang Ye said modestly. “The voice in the forbidden zone told me that my fire control’s power is linked to the strength of my mental attribute. That’s why I put all 100 points into mental.”
Here, Fang Ye wasn’t being completely honest.
Blaze!
It wasn’t just an ordinary flame!
Fang Ye decided to reveal his Blaze ability because he knew it would eventually be impossible to hide. It was better to come clean now.
[TN : I think “Blaze” is his flame ability names.]
This way, in the future, if he performed astonishing feats in the forbidden zones, he could attribute his success to his Blaze ability, using it as a cover.
Compared to his Blaze power…
His Saitama-like physique was his true trump card, his ultimate weapon!!
“You did the right thing…” Yan Tai gazed at Fang Ye, somewhat dazed.
An elemental talent was something everyone dreamed of having.
Who would have thought that this young man before him would obtain it so easily…
“I can’t believe that the highest task evaluation comes with an additional reward?” Yan Tai muttered to himself.
Fang Ye quickly added, “The voice in the forbidden zone said the chances of an extra reward are very slim. I was just lucky…”
He was laying the groundwork in advance.
In case someone else earned the highest task evaluation in the future but didn’t get an extra reward, he didn’t want them thinking he was lying.
“Since you’ve acquired the fire ability, you should prioritize adding to your mental attribute with your future free points. Also…” Yan Tai’s expression grew excited as he looked at Fang Ye intensely. “With the fire ability, your potential now rivals those with S-tier hero talents.”
“Fang Ye, I hope you’ll always prioritize your safety. As long as you have time, you will become a great warrior. I’m looking forward to that day!”
Fang Ye nodded seriously.
He understood this principle.
Only geniuses who survived and grew stronger could be called great warriors.
Those who died along the way were merely tragic stories.
