The corpses of the Awakened were enveloped by a milky white light.

A notification appeared in front of Liu Yan.

[Divine Extraction of the Awakened (C-Grade Talent, Level 6) has been successful. Congratulations on obtaining: Strength Enhancement (C-Grade). This has been automatically merged with the Power of Desolation (A-Grade). Power of Desolation has increased by 5% in strength!]

[Divine Extraction of the Awakened (B-Grade Talent, Level 7) has been successful. Congratulations on obtaining: Theft (B-Grade). This has been automatically merged with Emptyhanded (D-Grade) to form Robbery (B-Grade)!]

[Divine Extraction of the Awakened (D-Grade Talent, Level 9) has been successful. Congratulations on obtaining: Increased Defense (D-Grade). This has been automatically merged with Absolute Defense (A-Grade). Absolute Defense has increased by 1% in strength!]

..

Liu Yan completed divine extraction on more than ten corpses of the Awakened, strengthening many of his skills.

A newly acquired skill and a skill Liu Yan already had, Emptyhanded (D-Grade), had been merged to form a new B-Grade skill, Robbery.

Emptyhanded left a deep impression on Liu Yan.

Although the skill wasn’t at a very high level, it was useful, and proved to be a great help for Liu Yan.

When Liu Yan was fighting the Silverback Blue Apes and the Golden-Armored Blue Ape, he used Emptyhanded to obtain feathers with some of their genetic material. After extraction from the feathers, Liu Yan was then able to achieve his first powerful S-Grade skill, Sixteen Times the Speed of Sound. Only after obtaining this skill was Liu Yan able to catch up with the Golden-Armored Blue Ape.

Liu Yan quickly checked the effects of the new skill.

[Robbery]

Grade: B

Effect: Once in use, the skill can be designated to steal an item within a three-meter radius. There is a defined success rate when stealing an opponent’s weapon or other equipment.

After learning about its effects, Liu Yan’s face filled with happiness.

Previously, with Emptyhanded, Liu Yan could only steal items within a very close range. Moreover, Emptyhanded’s success rate was random and could not be defined.

But now, Robbery allowed Liu Yan to steal from a much larger range, and he could even specify the items to be taken!

That final attribute was what made Liu Yan absolutely elated.

This meant that when Liu Yan fought with others in the future, he could basically take the weapons they were fighting with, right?

Now, if he stole the weapons that his opponents were using right in front of them, Liu Yan wasn’t sure if this was robbery or plunder.

However, there was no doubt that Robbery was much stronger. It could be of great help to Liu Yan in battle.

After taking stock of his gains, Liu Yan continued to follow Murong Xue and Chu Long.

Through Omniscient Insight, Liu Yan could clearly sense that the ancient champsosaurus in the Yang Lake was resting.

The ancient champosaurus was undoubtedly very strong. When he escaped today, Liu Yan cast a backward glance. He noticed that the fierce beast killed more than ten Awakened almost instantly..

The other Awakened ran quickly. The ancient champosaurus didn’t seem to chase after them, and only then did they manage their escape.

If it insisted on chasing after them, the Awakened would probably all be wiped out today.

Liu Yan knew that he could reap huge benefits if he could deal with such a powerful fierce beast.

Moreover, Liu Yan had heard that in the Tower, the powerful fierce beasts that were suppressed in this area were generally guarding some precious treasures.

Killing this ancient champosaurus would allow Liu Yan to obtain extremely rare treasures.

Additionally, Liu Yan could also obtain large amounts of attributes and other incredibly powerful skills through divine extraction of the ancient champosaurus’ corpse.

Liu Yan guessed that if he killed the ancient champosaurus and conducted divine extraction on its corpse, he would probably double his attributes and strength due to the strength of the ancient champosaurus.

However, Liu Yan’s did not have enough strength to deal with the ancient champosaurus right now.

From its aura, the ancient champosaurus seemed to be about as strong as the Golden-Armored Blue Ape.

At minimum, Liu Yan had to use all of his strength to deal with this ancient champosaurus. Even so, they might end up in a draw or Liu Yan could just not be able to defeat it.

Moreover, there were other Awakened in the surrounding Yang Region. If Liu Yan and the ancient champosaurus fought, the huge commotion would definitely attract the others. At that time, the situation would be even more disadvantageous for Liu Yan and the others.

While Murong Xue and Chu Long had decent strength and were far ahead of other Awakened, they would not be of much help to Liu Yan in a battle of this level.

At the moment, Liu Yan was still helpless against the ancient champosaurus.

However, Liu Yan was not in a rush. After all, there were still a few days left before he left the third level of the tower. If Liu Yan could improve his strength during these few days, especially if he could successfully complete the class transition, his strength would increase greatly.

When he had enough strength, Liu Yan would definitely come and deal with this ancient champosaurus.

Liu Yan and the others arrived at the center, but the exit was easily seen.

The exit was halfway up the mountain. It was a huge teleportation array, and they could see it clearly from afar.

However, the exit had not opened, so it was not time yet.

“That is the exit, but it doesn’t seem like it has opened yet. We are early,” Chu Long said while pointing into the distance.

Liu Yan nodded slightly. “It’s fine. We just need to confirm the location. Since we’ve already confirmed the location of the exit, let’s go back and rest for a while. Then, we can continue to think of ways to obtain the yang cards.”

“The Awakened that we met today wanted to steal our yin cards. If we deal with them, we can take their yang cards.” Murong Xue suggested.

Liu Yan couldn’t help but feel tempted when he heard this.

However, attacking together would create a huge ruckus and attract the fierce beasts nearby because there were so many of them.

But now that the group was scattered to look for them, Liu Yan and the others could split up and attack them one by one.

It would be more troublesome if they were together, but as long as they split up, with Liu Yan and Murong Xue’s terrifying strength, it would be easy to deal with the Awakened.

Just when he was conducting divine extraction on the Awakened’s corpse next to Yang Lake, Liu Yan noticed that the Awakened were currently around levels five to eight.

Within the trio, Murong Xue was already at Level 10. She has S-Grade talent, and had been training her physical abilities since she was young. Murong Xue could defeat them decisively.

Chu Long had also reached Level 9. Although she did not have much combat strength, she could provide very strong support and healing abilities.

As Liu Yan had divine extraction, he could obtain one extra EXP after divine extraction from the fierce beast. His level rose even faster, reaching Level 12.

In addition, Liu Yan had the SSS-Grade skill, divine extraction, and many powerful A-Grade skills. Liu Yan even had an S-Grade battle skill, and the number of attributes he had was quite incredible given the constant divine extraction he conducted.

Liu Yan guessed that at his current strength, he could probably deal with most of the Awakened that were of average talent. He could probably finish off those at Level 30, let alone Level 10.

Just as Liu Yan was planning, he used his A-Grade perception skill, Omniscient Insight. He managed to sense that there was an Awakened approaching stealthily nearby.

Looking at the direction of the Awakened’s movements, it was clear that he was heading towards Liu Yan and the others.

To Liu Yan’s surprise, this Awakened was clearly not from the group earlier. His aura was quite strong, and he seemed to be at a very high level.
