Trash-Picking Talent Is Weak? But I Pick Up Traits

Chapter 44 : Chapter 44

Chapter 44 Gu Xuan Unleashes His Power, Myriad Swords Return to the Sect!!!

At that moment, looking at his own status panel, Xiao Xuan could not help sighing in emotion. By now, he already had sixteen core Traits!

That meant that whenever he wanted to upgrade them all at once, he had to upgrade all sixteen together!

Supporting so many Traits in the future would be no small burden!

Moreover, as the gap between one grade of Trait and the next grew wider and wider, Xiao Xuan intended to bring every Trait he could under his control.

After all, no matter how many there were, the total number of Traits was only a few thousand!

And the increase brought by upgrading a Trait to the next grade would, at the very least, be more than ten thousandfold.

There might even be cases where the increase reached millions or hundreds of millions of times.

Compared with pushing a few Traits to even higher grades, nurturing a few thousand Traits at the same time was actually much easier!

But that was something to think about later.

Afterward, Xiao Xuan bought several High-grade lightning-element and fire-element Energy Crystals, then left the Weapons Complex directly.

Meanwhile!

At Nanhai University's Elite Training Ground, dozens of students were already waiting there.

Su Qingwu had arrived early as well.

But after arriving, she immediately began looking around for Xiao Xuan.

Her arrival caused quite a few students' eyes to light up.

"That girl looks like a freshman, doesn't she? With looks like that, she could make the Campus Beauty Ranking!"

"Her name is Su Qingwu. I heard she placed third in this year's Special Admissions Exam! High Purple Talent!"

"What? High Purple Talent, and only third in the Special Admissions Exam? Are you kidding me? In the past several years, not even one High Purple Talent would appear, and this year that's only enough for third?"

"This year, two absolute monsters showed up. Compared with them, Su Qingwu's talent really doesn't amount to much!"

"Hiss! Something like that happened?"

……

After noticing Su Qingwu, quite a few upperclassmen began discussing her among themselves.

It could not be helped. Among geniuses, the proportion of women was already somewhat lower to begin with.

Especially someone like Su Qingwu, whose beauty was so exceptional.

"You must be Junior Su Qingwu, right? Hello, I'm Sun Haoyu, a ninth-year student! I'm also ranked first on Nanhai University's powerhouse ranking!"

At that moment, a somewhat frivolous-looking young man walked over and spoke to Su Qingwu with a smile.

Su Qingwu froze at his words.

Sun Haoyu, the man who had held first place on the Top Hundred Ranking for three consecutive years!

Although, it seemed that last month, he had been defeated by seventh-year student Liu Yunhai.

"Hello, Senior. Did you need something from me?"

Su Qingwu frowned slightly.

Although Sun Haoyu was a top genius, the Prince Charming of countless girls' dreams, in reality, he was a notorious playboy. It was said that three of Nanhai University's Four Campus Beauties had dated him, only to be dumped by him three years ago.

Because three years ago, Mu Xiying had arrived at Nanhai University.

Since even her idol, Mu Xiying, had no interest in him, there was naturally no way Su Qingwu would think highly of him either.

"It's nothing. I just wanted to get to know you, Junior. Once we get to the Imperial Capital, if there's anything you don't understand, you can ask me!"

Sun Haoyu revealed a bright smile. Combined with his handsome face and his astonishing talent, it was easy to imagine that this was exactly how he had won over those campus beauties.

"No need. I have a companion. Thank you, Senior. If there's nothing else, I still need to find my classmate!"

Yet Su Qingwu refused him on the spot.

Then she prepared to continue looking for Xiao Xuan.

Sun Haoyu was not angered by this either.

"The classmate you're talking about should be Xiao Xuan, right? For your sake, I can look after him too!"

Sun Haoyu spoke magnanimously.

"Hah, look after Xiao Xuan? You? What makes you worthy?”

“That man is someone I think highly of. What gives you the right to look after him?"

Just then, an arrogant voice rang out.

When the people around them heard that voice, they were all stunned. One by one, they turned to look in curiosity, only to see Gu Xuan, wearing a mask and standing with his hands behind his back, slowly descending to the ground!

Through the mask, his proud gaze fell upon Sun Haoyu with undisguised disdain.

"And who are you supposed to be?"

Hearing that someone actually dared look down on him, Sun Haoyu's brows furrowed.

"Your grandpa here is Gu Xuan!"

Gu Xuan's proud voice rang out.

"Don't worry, Su Qingwu. You're the woman the man I think highly of has taken a liking to! I'll drive this old dog off for you! When Xiao Xuan gets here, remember to put in a few good words for me!"

Then Gu Xuan looked at Su Qingwu with a smile on his face.

"I think you've misunderstood something. Xiao Xuan and I are just ordinary classmates!"

The moment Su Qingwu heard that, she was instantly mortified.

What did he mean, the woman the man he thought highly of had taken a liking to?

"What? So he's Gu Xuan, the one whose talent is almost at the level of High Silver Talent?"

"Now this will be interesting. Gu Xuan's talent may be powerful, but he hasn't been cultivating for long. There's no way he can be Sun Haoyu's match."

"Sun Haoyu isn't exactly the merciful type. Gu Xuan is probably about to get beaten badly!"

……

The surrounding crowd immediately broke into discussion.

"I see. So you're Gu Xuan? It's been a long time since anyone dared act this arrogantly toward me. In that case, I think it's necessary to let you freshmen learn what a real powerhouse is!"

Sun Haoyu's face darkened instantly.

BOOM!!!

In the next moment, terrifying Lightning Power erupted from his body.

The lightning instantly transformed into a raging dragon that roared toward Gu Xuan.

"As if your grandpa here would be afraid of you?"

Gu Xuan let out a cold snort. Then nanomaterial surged over his body, and in an instant, his entire form was enveloped in Nanotech Battle Armor!

RUMBLE!!!

In an instant, that immensely powerful lightning slammed into his body.

The force directly blasted Gu Xuan backward. But in the next moment, wild flames erupted from the back of his Nanotech Battle Armor, stabilizing him in place.

"Sixth-Tier Nanotech Battle Armor?"

At that sight, everyone's expressions changed.

Sun Haoyu's face darkened as well.

This brat actually had battle armor of that level!

But in the next moment, Sun Haoyu's expression turned cold and severe.

"Even a Sixth-Tier Nanotech Battle Armor is useless unless your own strength is sufficient. Otherwise, the impact alone can kill you!

So you're Gu Xuan? Your talent isn't bad, but don't forget, only a genius who survives long enough to grow can truly be called a genius!"

Sun Haoyu's tone instantly turned chilling.

RUMBLE!!!

In the next moment, incomparably violent lightning exploded from his body.

He clenched his right hand in the air, and it directly transformed into a lightning spear.

"Lightning, Myriad-Ton Force!!"

BOOM!!

With that furious shout, the lightning spear shot out directly.

At terrifying speed, it blasted toward Gu Xuan.

That power was so terrifying that even with the protection of Sixth-Tier battle armor, the impact alone would be enough to blast Gu Xuan to pieces.

"Damn it, you actually dare try to kill me? Sun Haoyu, you bastard, you're courting death!"

Gu Xuan was furious as well.

SHING! SHING! SHING! SHING!!

In an instant, one longsword after another suddenly appeared around him. Supported by his powerful Sword Qi, they all slowly rose into the air.

"Myriad Swords Return to the Sect!!"
