When Liu Yan heard this, he was thrilled.

Murakami was a big shot. Liu Yan was curious about what kind of skill did Murakami have.

As Murakami spoke, he took out a purple-colored skill book.

When Liu Yan saw this, his eyes immediately lit up.

A purple-colored skill book meant that it was an S-grade skill. It was incomparably powerful.

“Learn this skill well. I hope that it will be of some help to you. You should continue to work hard in the Tower training.”

As Murakami spoke, he patted Liu Yan on the shoulder and said earnestly.

After Liu Yan chatted with Murakami for a while, he left Murakami’s office.

After leaving, Liu Yan hurriedly returned to his dormitory.

Liu Yan had long been eager to learn an S-grade skill.

After returning to his dormitory, Liu Yan took out a purple-colored skill book and looked at it.

[ Soul Capture ]

Grade: S-grade

Description: A spirit skill and a forbidden spirit spell. It is usually used in interrogation. It is a compulsory skill for wardens on the 10th level of the Tower!

Effect: Can control an opponent’s mind who has lost the ability to fight, forcing the opponent to speak the truth!

After reading the introduction to the skill, Liu Yan became excited.

An S-grade skill was extremely precious, and it was a spirit skill.

At this moment, Liu Yan recalled Murakami’s words. He finally understood why Murakami had said that he would reward him based on his comprehension and gains during this period.

If Liu Yan had not achieved synesthesia, Liu Yan would not have been able to learn such a spirit skill given by Murakami.

Only after achieving synesthesia would one be able to learn a spirit skill.

Liu Yan knew how rare this skill was.

Any spirit skill was rare, and Soul Capture was even an S-grade spirit skill. It was indeed worthy of being Murakami’s ultimate skill.

When he saw that it was a skill only wardens above the tenth level of the Tower could learn, Liu Yan was also a little surprised.

Previously, Liu Yan had guessed that Murakami was extremely extraordinary. Murakami’s strength was beyond his expectation.

Murakami even had a skill that wardens above the tenth level of the Tower could learn. Murakami obviously had a great background and must be a big shot.

However, Liu Yan had no way of knowing this, so he could only make his guess.

Immediately after, Liu Yan turned his gaze towards the skill book in front of him.

The awakened one would directly absorb the skill book when learning a skill. This way, the skill book would enter their mind, and they could slowly cultivate it in the future.

In this way, the skill book was only one-time use, but the awakened ones could understand the skill well and practice it constantly.

However, it still required a lot of time to learn.

It was even more so for the S-grade spirit skill. Although it was powerful, it was also time-consuming to learn before one could use it.

If one’s talent was relatively average, it was very likely that they would not be able to learn it in their lifetime.

Even if one’s talent was not bad, one would still need to spend a lot of time learning and cultivating.

However, it was not a problem for Liu Yan.

With his SSS grade talent, Divine Extraction, not only could Liu Yan quickly learn it, but he could also master a new skill in minutes. Furthermore, with the support of Divine Extraction, he could also level up his newly-learned skills.

When an S-grade skill leveled up, it could directly reach SS-grade.

It was also the reason why Liu Yan was overjoyed. To the others, this was a rare S-grade spirit skill.

But to Liu Yan, it was more than that. It was an SS-grade spirit skill!

Up till now, Liu Yan had not possessed any SS-grade skill. It was because SS-grade skills were too rare.

Liu Yan’s heart was filled with anticipation as he directly used Divine Extraction on this skill book.

A milky white light descended onto the purple skill book, and a notification instantly appeared before Liu Yan’s eyes.

[ Divine Extraction has succeeded (S-grade). Congratulations on obtaining Soul Snatching (SS-grade)! ]

Along with the appearance of the notification, the skill book in Liu Yan’s hands flowed into Liu Yan’s body.

Liu Yan immediately mastered a new powerful skill. It was Liu Yan’s first SS-grade skill. It was just like a skill that Liu Yan had learned very early on and had practiced for many years.

Liu Yan quickly checked the effect of the new skill.

[ Soul Snatching ]

Grade: SS

Effect: Can detect the opponent’s thoughts to a certain extent (the specific extent depends on the opponent’s mental defense). The host can directly control the mind of the opponent who has lost the ability to fight, probing everything in the opponent’s mind. Because the host’s mental strength is limited, most of the effects are still in the process of awakening.

When Liu Yan saw the effects of the new skill, his face was immediately filled with joy.

As expected of an SS-grade skill, the effects are indeed powerful.

However, because Liu Yan had just achieved synesthesia, his mental strength was still relatively weak and had not fully grown yet. Thus, most of the Soul Snatching effects have yet to awaken.

Liu Yan was not in a hurry. In any case, the effects he currently had were already powerful.

He would slowly raise his mental strength in the future. After that, he would slowly awaken more of the effects of Soul Snatching.

Liu Yan did not expect that the first SS-grade skill he obtained was a rare spirit skill.

Although it did not directly increase or help in buffing his combat strength, it was undoubted of great help to Liu Yan’s later training in the Tower.

During this period, Liu Yan understood that special functional skills could sometimes play a key role.

Combat strength was crucial, but other abilities were equally important and needed to be constantly improved.

At this point, Liu Yan’s training on the fourth level of the Tower had finally come to a successful end.

Liu Yan performed almost perfectly and obtained the highest score in the five altars.

In the end, Liu Yan’s total score on the fourth level of the Tower was 1000 points, which was impressively outstanding.

As a result, Liu Yan’s gains were naturally huge.

First was the qualitative improvement of his five senses, directly completing the advancement.

The next step was unlocking the other senses, allowing him to learn a spirit skill in the future.

Next was the gain from just now. With the help of Murakami and the improvement of Liu Yan’s Divine Extraction, he learned the first SS-grade spirit skill, Soul Snatching. It would be of great use in the future.

Liu Yan also understood that other than these three substantial gains, his outstanding performance on the fourth level would bring benefits to Lighthouse Academy. Moreover, it would also benefit him on the higher levels of the Tower in the future.

Such outstanding performance would definitely attract the Federation’s attention. They would allocate the corresponding resources to Liu Yan

However, these were matters for the future. Liu Yan also knew there was no need to overthink now.

In the last half a day, Liu Yan had a good rest in the dormitory and waited for tomorrow morning to prepare to head to the fifth level of the Tower.

The trial on the fourth level of the Tower had already ended.

The more dangerous fifth level of the Tower, the more difficult trial, was still waiting for Liu Yan.
