Chapter 129 - 125: Am I a Genius? (1/3) 1
The next day, the weather was clear.
The once formidable Lord Shepherd, who had a record of wide-scale slaughtering in the Secret Realm, was now riding a shared bicycle to the Baijiang Association to receive the goods he ordered yesterday.
He had again made a significant purchase.
The costs of constructing the ‘Training Field’ and the ‘Cultivation Quiet Room’ both of which are Rare Level buildings, were much higher than those of the Mage Tower and the Thunder Magnetic Coil Tower. Simply the rare materials required for each were two pieces, with a cost of as high as more than twenty soul crystals.
This is not even including the more expensive blueprint value.
After all, whether you buy one thing or buy a hundred things, it’s still buying.
Unable to resist, Mu Yuan bought another batch of Remnant Souls.
Half a day later,
“Thump, thump, thump!”
Outside the Miracle Building, shrouded in light and shadow, Lu Liu was commanding quite a few Imperial Guards, Strong Shooters, and Halberd Guards to transport various materials from inside and outside the territory. They also called on twenty or so civilians to assist the troops in some more meticulous operations.
Even so, Lu Liu couldn’t resist picking up a hammer and rolling up his sleeves to hammer away at the silhouette of the Miracle Building under construction, in order to further speed up the construction process.
Soon,
In a fraction of the time it took to construct the Mage Tower and the Thunder Magnetic Coil Tower, the two functional Miracle Buildings were completed. ‘Cultivation Quiet Room (Rare)’
‘Level: One’
‘Description: Contains thirty single rooms for cultivation, with moderate uplifting of Soul Sand absorption speed, and calming mind effect. Upgrading can enhance the building’s effect and expand more space.’
This place is very similar to the Breakthrough Dojo, with individual rooms partitioned inside. The space is not cramped at all, and the word “Quiet” is written on the walls of the rooms like a flowing dragon and snake. When one looks at it, one will indeed feel a little less restless.
Mu Yuan instantly liked this place.
Perhaps lying on a bed for meditative cultivation is not a bad idea.
“The Cultivation Quiet Room’s buffs can stack to a certain extent with the buff of soldier buildings.”
For instance,
Normally, Skeleton Soldier requires twelve hours of cultivation per day to reach saturation, yielding 1000 points of experience.
In the environment of the Skeleton Cemetery, Skeleton Soldier only needs six hours of cultivation to reach saturation and can gain 1800 points of experience.
If one utilizes both the Skeleton Cemetery and the Cultivation Quiet Room, Soldier’s cultivation efficiency will be further enhanced, yielding 24.00 points of experience per day, but the cultivation time will have to be extended to eight hours.
Is that a problem?
Absolutely not!
Even if it means working sixteen hours during the day and spending another eight hours cultivating at night, as long as it improves the speed of leveling up, it is totally manageable.
Furthermore, when supplemented with some special treasures and grade amplifiers, the cultivation speed of generals like Dead Bone and Duo Lai can be several times faster than ordinary rare soldiers.
Of course, the cost will also multiply!
Mu Yuan had no plans to cultivate. How could he afford the time to lie down and cultivate at this point?
He bypasses the entrance to the Quiet Room and arrives at the ‘Training Field’ ‘Training Field (Rare)’
‘Level: One’
‘Description: Contains three spacious areas for practice and combat sparring. The ground and the surroundings are made of high-strength alloys, with defensive and absorbing runes embedded, which can be repaired using Soul Sand if damaged. Additionally, the Training Field provides a buff to improve concentration and accelerate energy recovery.’
‘Upgrading the Training Field level can improve the resistance of the practice field and open up more practice space.’
‘Note: The building cannot be upgraded due to the insufficient rank of the territory.’
The Training Field looks a bit futuristic, like an inverted silver giant bowl, just three or four stories high.
When he walked up, the door made a “beep” and slid open to both sides.
Mu Yuan tapped the wall with two fingers together. The dark silver wall produced a “bang” sound. It felt solid.
Looking forward, what meet the eyes was a round area with a silver pillar in the middle that could be circled by several people. Below the pillar was a row of circular benches. Apart from that, the area was empty, with only three alloy doors embedded in the wall, big enough for three or four people to enter side by side.
They led to the real Training Field.
“Beep, Lord Card.”
The door creaked slowly open, revealing a vast, pristine training ground that was even larger than Mu Yuan had imagined.
At least 400×400 meters, a single training ground covers several times the area of the entire Miracle Building.
“Indeed, space technology is utilized.”
“Hmm, with the training field, this Lord can finally practice his battle skills.”
With a snap of his fingers, he instantly entered Duo Lai Mode.
Injecting 80% of his Duo Lai power gave him an invincible illusion. The energy dispersed around him as he relaxed, creating a visible light blue tide.
Since the Lord’s Power was already maxed out, his value in this mode as the Great Lord Mu might be slightly higher than Dead Bone and Duo Lai.
But it was only slightly higher in terms of values.
In other aspects, it was very, very, very, very low…
After all, he wasn’t like the soldiers who had ingrained combat into their instincts. Nor was he like the second generation lords who had received various trainings early on and could quickly master their powers.
From a rational point of view, his skill utilization was not bad, but… Mr. Mu had never experienced a real battle or even properly practiced his own abilities. “It’s time to use my true power.”
With a thought, energy converged on the soles of his feet. He used the Leap skill, and like a bullet shot from a barrel, his body flew out.
He gave it everything he had for that leap.
The wind howled past his cheeks, the training field’s ceiling rapidly approached in his field of vision.
He was about to hit it!
Mu Yuan’s pupils contracted, energy quickly flowed through his limbs, and he leaned his whole body backwards.
Bang!
Like a gecko, he landed on the ceiling with all fours, then using the reversed gravity, his body adhered to the ceiling.
He barely had time to catch his breath.
He almost thought he would smash his head against the ceiling.
“Using the ability at full power is indeed different from simulating it in my head.”
He reversed the gravity again and fell naturally from a height of two hundred meters. His entire body turned upside down in mid-air, swayed a few times, and then finally stabilized.
Rotating, jumping, even with his eyes closed, he was very steady.
“Wind.”
“Fire.”
He whispered, and a gentle wind and warm fire sprung from his left and right palms, intensifying as he continued to infuse energy.
The wind turned from gentle to violent, waving his sleeves fiercely.
The fire turned from warm to scorching, radiating in all directions. The dazzling glow was like a small orange sun, enveloping his entire figure.
But as the manipulator, Mu Yuan didn’t feel any discomfort, but felt very relaxed.
He had probably completely mastered Duo Lai’s power, and might even surpass Duo Lai.
Could it be that he’s actually a genius?
Focusing on the forces of wind and fire in his hands, Mu Yuan balanced their powers, and with a low growl, he clapped his palms together.
The powers of wind and fire merged at that moment. Under his command, they were pushed forward, creating a tornado of fire that could tear and melt everything.
And the next moment,
“Boom!!!”
The scorching fire began to expand, breaking free from the not tightly enough bound wind, and impacting the surroundings in a more violent way, swallowing the faintly visible figure in mid-air.
A deafening boom erupted in the training field.
The whole ground was shaking and rumbling.
However, as a Miracle Building, the soundproofing function is very powerful, only the Dead Bone, which was dragged by Bone Two and Bone Three for a fight, vaguely heard something, but it seemed like a delusion.
They “drip” and entered into the Second Training Room.
At this moment, in the First Training Room,
On the scorched ground, a not completely scorched humanoid object was lying down, opening its mouth, and exhaling a circle of faint smoke..
