Chapter 81 Protection Fee

Chapter 81: Chapter 81 Protection Fee"Chen Yunong, if you make fun of my name again, do you believe I will beat you up?" Xiong Chumo gritted his teeth and said. "Come on!" Chen Yunong moved his feet and dodged to one side. He possesses an agile Battle Body, and in terms of speed, he is simply incomparable to Xiong Chumo. Watching the two frolicking, Ling Chen also showed a smile on his face. "Ling Chen, my name is Xu Yang." The last student introduced himself. The four of them lived in one courtyard, except for Ling Chen, all of them were at the third layer of Spirit Sea Realm. However, because Ling Chen had a glorious record of defeating mid-term Spiritual Bodies at the third layer of Spirit Sea Realm, they greatly respected him, who was only at the second layer of Spirit Sea Realm, and implicitly regarded Ling Chen as their leader. After frolicking for a while, Chen Yunong said with a smile: "We are going to the Gathering Spirit Hall of the Academic Palace for cultivation, are you coming?" In three months, the assessment for promoting to new disciples would take place, so they seized every minute to cultivate diligently. "Gathering Spirit Hall?" Ling Chen’s expression tensed, quickly realizing. This Gathering Spirit Hall is a sacred cultivation site of True Martial Academy. Equipped with a huge Spirit Gathering Array, it is said that the Spiritual Energy there is ten times more than that of the outer palace. Cultivating there for one day is equivalent to cultivating outside for ten days. "No need." Ling Chen slightly shook his head. It is daytime right now, even if he enters the Gathering Spirit Hall, he cannot cultivate. He might as well use the power of Sunlight to cultivate his Divine Soul. It wouldn’t be too late to go there at night. After all, the Gathering Spirit Hall is open all day. Suddenly thinking of something, a trace of apology appeared on Chen Yunong’s face, and he said: "Ling Chen, I apologize, I didn’t mean to provoke you." Ling Chen does not have cultivation talent, he cannot sense nature’s spiritual energy, and could not cultivate even in places with dense Spiritual Energy. "It’s fine." Ling Chen gave a slight smile. "Alright, then we’ll leave first." Chen Yunong said with a smile. Then he left together with Xiong Chumo and Xu Yang. "I have to talk to Lin Xiaodu and Ling Yunfei." Ling Chen also left the courtyard. The residential area for new disciples was all in one location, and soon, Ling Chen found the two and exchanged Token imprints to facilitate future communication. Every student at True Martial Academy possesses a Token, which is not only a symbol of identity but also serves as a Communication Token, and even records the contribution points of the academy. Contribution points, a must-contest item for academy students. Because, whether it is cultivating in the Gathering Spirit Hall or learning arcane Spirit Arts of the academy, both require contribution points. Without contribution points, one can hardly make a step in the academy. Each new disciple’s Identity Token comes with a hundred contribution points. For instance, entering the Gathering Spirit Hall for a day’s cultivation requires ten contribution points. If the contribution points are exhausted, one can only earn points by completing tasks issued by the academy. Of course, there are rewards of contribution points in some assessments too. However, the requirements are usually high, generally only the top ten receive contribution points rewards. Then, Ling Chen returned to his residence, sat in the center of the courtyard, while absorbing the power of Sunlight to enhance his Divine Soul Realm, he also consumed and absorbed the knowledge from memory inheritance. Over these ten days, he cultivated his Divine Soul almost every day, thus his Divine Soul Realm improved rapidly. Gradually he had a solid feeling! You should know, aside from the Night Moon Sacred Body, he also possesses the Sunlight Holy Body. And, this Sunlight Holy Body is specifically aimed at Divine Soul. Therefore, the improvements during this period didn’t surprise Ling Chen. The Divine Soul Realm is divided into Void Realm, Solid Realm, and Transformation Realm! Ling Chen is currently at the level of Void Realm, and the transformation of Divine Soul into tangible matter is the characteristic of Solid Realm. Clearly, his Divine Soul was not far from reaching Solid Realm. "Whoosh!" A streak of black light, like lightning, directly penetrated the tree. At this point, he no longer needed the aid of hidden weapons to utilize the power of telekinetic weapons. Relying on Divine Soul Telekinesis, the power of telekinetic weapons was sufficient to slay any Cultivator in the Condensation Realm. Of course, if he used hidden weapon techniques to launch multiple Flying Knives simultaneously, it would more easily conceal the telekinetic weapons, creating a surprise effect. "Return!" At Ling Chen’s thought, the black Flying Knife flew back, directly entering his storage ring. "Bang!" Just then, the door was suddenly pushed open. Xiong Chumo walked in. "Why have you returned so soon?" Ling Chen asked, puzzled. Cultivation in the Gathering Spirit Hall was generally calculated in half-day increments; he had thought that Xiong Chumo wouldn’t return until at least nightfall. How could he have returned so quickly? "Oh, it’s nothing. There were too many students in the Gathering Spirit Hall. I waited for a long time and didn’t get a free Cultivation Room, so I came back first." Xiong Chumo smiled. To avoid disturbing each other’s practice, the Gathering Spirit Hall specially allocated many Cultivation Rooms for students. By paying ten contribution points, one could enter to practice. Ling Chen nodded and said, "Mhm, the sudden addition of more than two hundred students has indeed made the Cultivation Rooms insufficient. It’s normal. You can try going again in a few days, or perhaps at night." Sёarᴄh the Novёlƒire.n(e)t website on Google to access chapters of novels early and in the highest quality. "Right." Xiong Chumo nodded, then headed toward his own room. Before entering his room, he suddenly said, "Ling Chen, you should also wait a bit longer before going!" "Mhm." Ling Chen nodded. Then, he immersed himself back into the cultivation of his Divine Soul. As night fell, Ling Chen stood up, leaving his residence and heading toward the Gathering Spirit Hall. He wasn’t in a rush to enter the Gathering Spirit Hall for cultivation but to first check it out. He could only practice at night, which was originally a disadvantage, but here, it became an advantage. Because most students would practice during the day and rest at night. "Sure enough, just as I predicted!" Upon entering the Gathering Spirit Hall, Ling Chen found that many students were coming out from the Cultivation Rooms, and in a blink of an eye, more than ten rooms became vacant. Ling Chen quickly hastened his steps, preparing to enter one of the Cultivation Rooms to cultivate. Since he was here, and he urgently needed to improve his cultivation level, he decided to practice here tonight. "Young brother, you must be new here?" At this moment, a young man with a horse-like face came over, smiling. "Senior!" Ling Chen promptly greeted him with a bow. This young man was in the mid-four stages of the Spirit Sea Realm. The horse-faced youth smiled and said, "Junior, you are quite smart to come and practice at night." Ling Chen smiled faintly and replied, "I’m just trying my luck." "I’m Ma Cheng, what does my junior go by?" The horse-faced youth smiled. "Ling Chen." Ling Chen smiled. Upon hearing this, Ma Cheng’s eyes brightened. He clapped Ling Chen on the shoulder, speaking earnestly, "Junior, let me tell you, just paying a certain fee won’t suffice if you want to cultivate in the Gathering Spirit Hall." "Oh?" Ling Chen’s expression became serious, and he smiled, "What else is required?" Ma Cheng smiled and said, "Junior, you must be from a city outside the capital, right? Seeing you alone’s not easy, so how about I protect you from now on?" Ling Chen immediately understood. This guy clearly wanted to charge him for protection! He didn’t call him out, instead, he respectfully bowed and said, "To receive Senior’s protection is indeed an unexpected honor for me!" "Ha ha!" Ma Cheng, looking very pleased as if teaching a worthy pupil, said, "Junior, you’re too kind. I felt a connection with you from the moment we met!"
