Everyone Has Four Skills

Chapter 6

Li Yuan

Shortly after the dust settled, the teachers of the school arrived at the scene.

Mo Xiu’s form teacher, Gao Quan, was also the first batch of people to arrive. When he found out what had happened, he was extremely shocked. Three students had actually managed to defeat an adult Demonic Eagle together.

At this moment, Mo Xiu and the other two were enjoying the warm applause from the other students.

Mo Xiu extended his right hand and said to the bespectacled youth, “Hello, my name is Mo Xiu. This is Zheng Yi.”

At this moment, the bespectacled youth had already recovered his thin and frail figure. After adjusting his spectacles, he held Mo Xiu’s hand and said, “I’m Liu Qingyu. I’ve already heard of how powerful you are. From the looks of it, everyone’s evaluation of you is still too low.”

Mo Xiu was stunned for a moment. He had originally thought that Liu Qingyu was an introverted person. Otherwise, he wouldn’t have such skills without any fame.

However, after hearing Liu Qingyu’s generous and appropriate words, he realized that this person was definitely not simple. He was not famous only because he kept a low profile.

Mo Xiu wanted to chat more with Liu Qingyu, but Zheng Yi interrupted them.

“What are the two of you talking about? There’s only one word to summarize this battle. Impressive! Haha, Mo Xiu is really impressive. This battle was freaking enjoyable.”

Mo Xiu sighed helplessly, knowing that any serious topic would be led astray by Zheng Yi.

Liu Qingyu said cooperatively, “It was awesome, awesome!”

Upon seeing the teachers walk over, Liu Qingyu immediately clasped his hands and bade them farewell.

“Goodbye, both of you. I’m in Year 3 Class 2. If you need any help, feel free to look for me. I don’t like being in the limelight, so I’ll take my leave first.”

Mo Xiu was puzzled. Liu Qingyu was really strange.

The group of teachers was led by Gao Quan. Mo Xiu and Zheng Yi were both Gao Quan’s students, so they were very familiar with each other. Although the teachers had many questions, they only asked a few simple questions before leaving.

Their top priority now was to appease his classmates and investigate why Demonic Eagle suddenly appeared in school.

After all, Shun City First High School was not located at the edge of the human residential area, and it was rare for wild beasts to appear here. For it to appear in the campus, things were definitely not that simple.

Mo Xiu and Zheng Yi returned to their respective homes. After this battle, they were exhausted.

Actual combat and training were completely different, especially this type of extremely tense battle that expended even more stamina.

The entire process took less than three minutes, but to Mo Xiu, it was even more tiring than training for an entire afternoon.

When Mo Xiu returned home and realized that his mother was still not around, he went straight to her room to lie down.

When he looked at his skill, it had indeed become the Descent of the Martial God skill again. However, it was still on cooldown and couldn’t be used.

Unknowingly, Mo Xiu fell asleep. When he woke up again, he was woken up by his mother.

“Little Xiu, get up and eat. It’s your birthday today. I’ve stewed your favorite mountain chicken.”

Following his mother to the dining table, he looked at the four dishes and soup on the table. Mo Xiu was somewhat moved.

In this era, since one’s birthday and awakening were on the same day, the meaning of birthdays had already faded.

Ordinary families would first take a look at the skills their children had awakened. If the skills were good, they would invite their relatives and friends to celebrate.

However, if the awakened skill was not ideal, some parents might comfort their children, but most parents would be unhappy and even give their children a stern look, let alone celebrate.

The parents could not be completely blamed for this. It was caused by the environment. After all, skills were too important to a person.

However, Li Yuan was different. She would meticulously celebrate every birthday for Mo Xiu. Furthermore, she didn’t care much about his skills.

It was just like when she had seen Mo Xiu awaken in the morning. She had only asked him a simple question, but Mo Xiu had simply replied that his skill was not bad.

After that, his mother never mentioned anything about his awakening or his skills. Perhaps this was his mother’s love and trust for him.

Mo Xiu lowered his head and ate. He didn’t say anything about what had happened today, afraid that his mother would be worried.

This was also Mo Xiu’s old problem. He always reported good news without any bad news.

“Mom, I’m going to Yanjing University. When that time comes, don’t work here anymore. Come with me to Yanjing.”

Her mother picked up a piece of chicken and placed it in Mo Xiu’s bowl. She smiled and said, “I’m getting old and don’t want to be a burden anymore. Go and chase after your goal. I won’t hold you back.”

“Mom, I don’t want you to stay here alone. You’ve taken care of me for 18 years. I’ll take care of you when I get into university.”

Li Yuan knocked Mo Xiu’s head with her chopsticks. This was a common action when he was young, but it had been many years since she had beaten Mo Xiu like this.

“This world isn’t as simple as you think it is. When I was young, I asked you if you wanted to be successful or stay here with your mother for the rest of your life. At that time, your answer had already determined my answer today.”

“Mom…”

“Don’t say anything else! Just come back and visit Mom when you have the chance.”

Mo Xiu looked at his mother’s determined face and didn’t say another word. He clenched his fists tightly. He would never let his mother suffer again. Never!

After dinner, Mo Xiu went out to a desolate mountain near his home.

Mo Xiu had basically understood his own skills, so he was here to verify his ideas.

After looking around to make sure that there was no one around, he activated the Descent of the Martial God skill.

This time, Mo Xiu had been staring at his skill pattern. The moment he used Descent of the Martial God, the passive skill pattern changed for the first time and flashed.

After that, the Descent of the Martial God skill pattern spun one round, and the entire pattern flipped around. The back of the pattern was the God’s Eye skill.

So that was how it was. Mo Xiu finally understood that he indeed had three skills.

God’s Eye and Descent of the Martial God basically occupied the same skill position. The two skills were stuck together with their backs to each other. When one skill was released, it would trigger the passive skill Flip, causing the entire skill to flip to the other skill on the back.

Mo Xiu let out a long sigh. There was no problem with his skills, nor was there any uncertainty.

This way, Mo Xiu, who had two active skills, was a level higher than his peers.

The strength of his skills strengthened Mo Xiu’s determination to become stronger. At that moment, Descent of the Martial God was active. Thus, he started to fight.

After a series of punches, Mo Xiu felt extremely satisfied. On the surface, it seemed like Mo Xiu’s strength had increased by 100% after he activated his skill.

In fact, it was not just that. As Descent of the Martial God provided an improvement in all attributes, including agility, strength, reaction speed, and so on, his overall strength had definitely increased by more than 100%.

After that, Mo Xiu ran at full speed through the forest to train his coordination in this state.

Increasing his attributes was one thing, but whether it could be fully utilized was another. Only when Mo Xiu completely adapted to this amplified state could he unleash the full power of Descent of the Martial God.

This was just like the battle this afternoon, where Mo Xiu and Zheng Yi simultaneously activated their skills and charged towards the Demonic Eagle.

Zheng Yi’s skill only increased his speed by 100%, while Mo Xiu’s skill increased all of his attributes by 100%.

Logically speaking, Mo Xiu should have been faster, but Zheng Yi had reached the Demonic Eagle before Mo Xiu.

This was because this was the first time Mo Xiu had used his skill, and he wasn’t familiar enough with it. Thus, he wasn’t able to unleash its full power.

On the other hand, Zheng Yi’s understanding and proficiency in his skills far exceeded Mo Xiu’s.
