29: Chapter 29 Talent Training Ground! A New Source of Upgrade Essence

Teacher gently closed the electronic lesson plan in her hand, and a slight commotion immediately arose in the classroom.

"Alright students," Teacher clapped her hands gently to attract everyone's attention, "Line up and follow me. We are going to experience the Talent Training Ground."

"Teacher, what is the Talent Training Ground?" a student sitting in the front row asked impatiently.

Teacher smiled slightly: "The Talent Training Ground is the best place to help you quickly improve your talent rank. There, you can stimulate your soul to increase the cultivation speed of your talent."

A burst of excited discussion immediately arose in the classroom. Laya curiously tugged on Li Yuan's sleeve and asked in a low voice: "Master, what is the training ground like? Will it be fun?"

Before Li Yuan could answer, Elia had already turned her head, her long silver hair swaying gently with her movement: "The training ground is not a place for playing. I spent a few days in the training ground in the Prey Star Domain, and that is a place that requires full concentration."

"Ah? It requires full concentration..." Laya immediately wilted a bit, pouting and lying down on the table.

Teacher watched the students' reactions and couldn't help but smile: "Alright, everyone follow me. Remember, keep quiet in the training ground and do not disturb other students."

The group followed Teacher through a long corridor and arrived at an elevator heading deep underground.

When the elevator door opened, everyone was amazed by the scene before them.

This was a huge underground space with a dome so high it was almost impossible to see the top, and soft simulated daylight spilled down from above.

The entire space was divided into layers of cubicles the size of dorm rooms, and the most striking feature was the ring-shaped device in the center, wrapped in layers of energy barriers, emitting palpitating energy fluctuations.

Energy was transmitted to each cubicle along pipes.

Rich energy dissipated in the air, triggering bursts of brilliant light.

"That is the core of the training ground," Teacher explained, pointing at the ring-shaped device, "It converts fusion energy into spirit energy that can be absorbed by talents."

"To maintain the concentration of spirit energy and prevent dissipation, the training ground was built 2000 meters deep underground. Cultivating here is at least three times faster than in the outside world."

"Three times!" The students exclaimed in amazement.

Li Yuan noticed that quite a few senior students were already cultivating.

The indicator lights on the doors of the cultivation rooms were lit to show they were in use; clearly, resources here were quite tight.

Sure enough, Teacher soon began to assign cultivation rooms: "Students of the elite class will be three to a room, self-organized groups..."

"Teacher! Teacher!" Elia suddenly called out, "Can the three of us be together?"

She pulled Li Yuan and Laya, "We are all from Edge Star No. 7 and are roommates, so we are quite familiar with each other."

Teacher nodded: "Yes. Then you can use cultivation room B-77."

Laya happily took Elia's arm: "That's great!"

The three arrived at cultivation room B-77 according to the guidance.

Pushing open the door, a simple and comfortable space appeared before them.

In the center of the room were three meditation cushions, and the air was filled with rich spirit energy, which made one's spirit feel refreshed.

"Wow, it's so comfortable here!" As soon as Laya entered, she found a cushion and sat down, feeling the spirit energy flowing around her.

At this moment, a commotion came from outside the cultivation room.

It turned out that many freshmen were still not very clear about how to cultivate and were surrounding Teacher to ask for advice.

"Teacher, how do I guide my talent?"

"Does guiding talent mean using skills?"

"What should I pay attention to when cultivating?"

Teacher was surrounded by students and couldn't get away for a moment.

Li Yuan looked at the crowded crowd and decided not to join in the fun.

He turned to look at Elia, who was adjusting her breathing: "Teacher seems unable to get away. You have rich cultivation experience; can you tell us exactly what to do?"

Elia's eyes lit up, and she immediately became energetic: "Of course! It's actually very simple; it's just using your talent at low power."

Elia sat cross-legged gracefully, her back straight as a pine, her hands placed naturally on her knees.

A cold, bright moonlight quietly fell from the void, enveloping her entire body.

This beam of light was pure and contained not a trace of impurities.

With her as the center, the chill spread silently.

The water vapor in the air turned into countless tiny hexagonal snowflakes.

They slowly circled and fell around the moon-goddess-like girl in the center, as if it were a silent ice and snow waltz.

Each snowflake refracted the light of the moonlight, making her seem surrounded by a hazy and dreamy halo of starlight.

At this moment, she did not look like a mortal girl, but more like a fairy from the Moon Palace who had accidentally descended to the mortal world, her whole body exuding a holy beauty that stood aloof from the world.

Li Yuan nodded thoughtfully, as if he had realized something—realized my foot!!

What low power, what running talent, isn't talent always running?

It turned out that Aria's talent was different from others.

Her talent came with a cultivation mode, which could not only quickly enter the cultivation state but also collect extra available energy, purify it, and provide it to Aria.

Her innate cultivation speed was three times that of other talents of the same level.

There was no other way, so Li Yuan sat down on another cushion.

Although he didn't understand, looking at Elia's posture, wasn't this just practicing internal energy?

He hadn't practiced internal energy, but hadn't he read novels?

The first step was introspection; he closed his eyes and quickly entered the state of introspection.

The bei ming core at his dantian was still slowly rotating, constantly absorbing the surrounding spirit energy.

"Isn't this always running automatically..." Li Yuan was a bit confused.

Just then, he noticed some subtle changes.

As spirit energy poured in continuously, familiar prompts began to emerge from the depths of his consciousness: [Energy +1] [Energy +1] [Energy +1]

Li Yuan was already accustomed to these prompts.

But immediately after, a long-lost prompt made him perk up: [Essence +1]

"Essence?" Li Yuan's heart stirred.

Since leaving Edge Star No. 7, the amount of Essence had not changed.

He didn't expect that in the training ground, the bei ming core could actually convert Essence directly from spirit energy!

[Energy +1] [Essence +1] [Energy +1] [Energy +1] [Essence +1]

The prompt sounds rang out one after another.

Although the speed was very slow, with Li Yuan's focus, the acquisition speed was steadily increasing.

Li Yuan observed this process intently, and unknowingly, the rotation of the bei ming core accelerated a bit more.

Watching Elia and Li Yuan enter the state one after another, Laya also sighed and entered cultivation.

Her talent was different from Elia's, but it could actually produce similar effects.

Only the melodious sacred song spread out, and sacred light energy similar to healing spells constantly surged over the three of them, increasing their cultivation speed.

Laya appeared holy and dignified, a layer of warm golden soft light seeping out from her skin, full of vitality and hope.

Her face was breathtakingly beautiful under the reflection of the light, and every line seemed to be carefully carved by the gods.

Although she was cultivating, Laya was wailing in her heart: "So boring... Why do I have to sit all the time..." "This spirit energy absorbs so slowly..." "I want to move, I want to talk..."

She secretly opened one eye and found that Li Yuan and Elia were immersed in cultivation, and no one noticed her at all.

She tried changing a few sitting positions, but still felt uncomfortable.

"Cultivation and all that, I hate it the most..." Laya muttered in a low voice.

Suddenly, a peculiar suction force came from the depths of her soul.

Before she could react, she felt her vision go dark, and her body involuntarily tilted to one side, leaning softly against Li Yuan.
