Chapter 158: Restricted Strength While Being Sealed

Chapter 158, Restricted Strength While Being Sealed

Liu Yan looked towards the old man, Wu Hua, and asked curiously, “Old Man, have you participated in this harvest competition before? What exactly is it?”

The old man, Wu Hua, didn’t seem to care very much. He said indifferently, “What’s the point of thinking so much? We’re just radish harvesters. Just do our duty well!”

With that, the old man lay down on the bed to rest. Not long after, there was a snoring sound.

Liu Yan thought about it carefully. The old man’s words seemed to be casual, but in fact, he had already pointed out the key.

Regardless of the competition’s details, as medicine farmers, they had been pulling up radishes all the time.

So there was no need to care about the details, as long as they did their duty well.

Liu Yan didn’t overthink it too.

During the past month in the Eastern Medicine Garden, Liu Yan immersed himself in pulling radishes every day. He focused on how to utilize the strength that his body possessed and how to improve his strength.

Even though Liu Yan’s strength was sealed and he was just an ordinary person, it didn’t mean that was all to his strength.

It was just his strength in the past which was sealed. Now, he could still improve and increase his strength.

And during that period, Liu Yan’s improvement was also tremendous.

In the beginning, when he entered the Eastern Medicine Garden, his strength had been sealed, and he only had the strength of an ordinary person.

......

But later on, pulling up radishes every day was equivalent to training in disguise.

In addition, there was that brown soap. Grounding it into powder daily and smearing it all over his body increased his strength over time.

A month later, Liu Yan no longer felt that the wristband and leggings on his body were heavy. He felt extremely light, and he had even gotten used to them.

Liu Yan’s physical strength had also improved a lot.

Previously, he had been focused on pulling radishes and how to better pull radishes. But now that Liu Yan thought about it, he realized that he had not relied on his SSS-grade talent, Divine Extraction, during the entire period. It seemed that he had also improved a lot.

Liu Yan looked at his attributes panel.

[Liu Yan (sealed)]

Level: 19 (1000/9000)

Class: Dark Ranger (second transition)

HP: 700/700

MP: 100/100

Strength (Attack): 378

Vitality (Defence): 212

Agility (Speed): 112

Spirit (Mana): 78

Adaptability (Magic Resistance): 135

Luck (Probability): 43

Looking at his attributes panel, Liu Yan was a little surprised.

In the sealed state, the initial attributes were only 10 points for an ordinary adult.

But in a month, it had increased by so much.

Although the various attributes were only a few hundred points, which were comparatively lesser than Liu Yan’s attributes in the unsealed state, which were a few thousand points, one had to know that Liu Yan had increased his attributes without using his SSS-grade talent, Divine Extraction. Neither did he cultivate nor kill fierce beasts. He raised his attributes just by pulling radishes every day.

His various attributes had increased by ten times.

Especially his strength attribute, which was close to forty times that of a month ago!

Just in terms of attribute points, his strength had reached that of an ordinary level 5 or so Awakened.

Thinking of that, Liu Yan could not help but feel slightly surprised.

An Awakened would typically only reach the strength of around level 5 after level two of the Tower had ended, and they would have to experience many hardships.

However, Liu Yan hadn’t experienced any fierce beast, nor had he leveled up. He had only plucked radishes daily, and his strength had increased so much in a month?

It seemed that if he focused on cultivation, he could also improve quickly. Liu Yan couldn’t help but think to himself.

Liu Yan didn’t continue to overthink. He just needed to do his best tomorrow. That month had been incredibly fulfilling. Liu Yan also believed in his strength.

The following day, Liu Yan and the old man, Wu Hua, were brought to a new farm by the employees of the Eastern Medicine Garden early in the morning.

Although the medicinal field that Liu Yan and Wu Hua were in charge of was vast, at least dozens of square kilometers, after the continuous efforts of Liu Yan and Wu Hua over the past month, they had reaped all the harvests as of yesterday. The workload was astonishing!

Right then, in front of a new medicinal field, many other medicine farmers had also gathered.

Since Liu Yan entered the medicine garden, he had been pulling radishes with Wu Hua almost daily. He had not come into contact with the other medicine farmers.

When he looked at the other medicine farmers around him, Liu Yan was surprised to find that they were not ordinary people.

They were all students of the Lighthouse Academy. Among them, some students were powerful or had great talent.

Presumably, those students were somewhat similar to Liu Yan. They had all come to the medicine garden to gain experience.

However, Liu Yan also discovered the difference. The other students did not have the wristband and leggings from Seal City.

In other words, their strength had not been sealed at all. Only Liu Yan’s had been sealed...

Liu Yan could not help but feel a bit of a headache. Although his strength had improved quite a bit during that period, he had only reached the strength of a level 5 Awakened. There was still a huge gap between him and the average level 10 students of the Lighthouse Academy.

Even though Liu Yan had learned quite a few techniques from Wu Hua and could already gather all the strength in his body into one point, which increased the efficiency of pulling radishes, there was still a huge gap between Liu Yan and the other students. They could completely surpass Liu Yan by relying on brute force.

However, at the same time that he was conflicted, Liu Yan also had some doubts.

After all, those students had also been training in the medicine garden. They were also medicine farmers and had also participated in pulling radishes.

However, their speed was not as fast as Liu Yan’s in reality. Liu Yan was already the second-fastest medicine farmer in the entire medicine garden, second only to Wu Hua.

Liu Yan was a little confused and could only take things one step at a time.

Just then, the manager of the medicine garden, Cao Dong, had already arrived. Looking at the group of medicine farmers, he announced, “All medicine farmers are welcome to participate in this competition. The rules of this competition are very simple. There is a time limit of one day. All of you are to harvest in this medicinal field. During the process, you are not allowed to interfere with each other. You can only harvest separately. By sunset, the final ranking will be determined by the number of white radishes harvested. This time, the first-place winner will be rewarded with one divine medicine from our medicine garden. You can choose as you wish. The second and third place winners will also receive a rich reward. As for the rest, there will be no reward. I hope that all of you will work hard!”

When the medicine farmers heard that, their faces were filled with joy.

Among them, many were students of the Lighthouse Academy. Only a small portion of them were initially medicine farmers from the medicine garden.

Rather than staying at the Lighthouse Academy, they had come to the medicine garden to suffer. So naturally, they had their purpose, which was the rewards of the competition.

As long as they could obtain the top three, they would be able to receive the rich rewards of the medicine garden.

The Eastern Medicine Garden had a tremendous amount of rare medicinal herbs. Casually obtaining some would be of great help to their subsequent cultivation.

In particular, if they were to get first place, they could obtain divine medicine from the medicine garden. It was said that there were even some ten-thousand-year-old herbs.

If they could obtain divine medicine, it would change their lives!

Among those students, there were freshmen and seniors.

The seniors did not know Liu Yan at all, but the juniors almost all knew him.

During the freshmen test, Liu Yan shone brilliantly. There was not a freshman who did not know Liu Yan.

Just then, several freshmen had already recognized Liu Yan very quickly.
