65: Free training room crystal core energy
“You go replenish the crystal cores first.”
The staff member continued, saying,
“And then go see if something is malfunctioning!”
Not long after he hung up, the repairman Old Zhu’s call came in.
“I just checked, there are no issues with the training room, other than someone Cultivating in it.”
The staff member hung up the phone, his face full of questions.
That shouldn’t be right.
Jinghai Martial Arts Hall had been open for over ten years, and he had been working there for seven years.
This was truly the first time he had encountered such a strange situation.
After some thought, he wrote in the work log: [Crystal core consumption too fast, no obvious abnormalities found, needs careful inspection].
However, he had just finished tidying up and was about to get off work.
The alarm sounded again.
“Damn!”
A sudden incident meant he had to work overtime!
He was just a backend administrator and couldn't solve any problems.
He could only call the manager and ask him to find the Martial Arts Hall's chief repairman.
Then a large group of repairmen and staff members rushed towards the VIP Cultivation room in a dense crowd.
“What happened here?”
Some Martial Artists who were about to enter the Cultivation room were bewildered, looking at these people in confusion.
The Martial Arts Hall Manager Guan Zixing apologized,
“There’s a small issue with the VIP training room, it will be resolved soon, please wait a moment.”
“To compensate for your inconvenience, the Martial Arts Hall will provide free elemental potions to everyone.”
As the saying goes, one does not strike a smiling face.
Especially not a Martial Arts Hall manager as sincere as Guan Zixing.
After calming the VIPs, Guan Zixing personally stepped forward and pressed the alert button for the training room.
Martial Artists need a quiet environment to Cultivate.
Even more so for esteemed VIPs.
The Martial Arts Hall could only use indirect means to alert them, rather than directly intruding.
Li Canglan, who was absorbing the surrounding wind blades, felt the slight alert sound in the room.
He could only take a deep breath of wind element energy before getting up to open the door.
Seeing that it was Li Canglan who came out, Guan Zixing’s eyes lit up, and he greeted him with a smile.
He was extremely grateful to this young man who had helped their Martial Arts Hall out of a difficult situation.
After relaying the previous explanation to Li Canglan, Guan Zixing led a group of repairmen into the training room.
They wanted to check if the training room was damaged, causing energy leakage.
Li Canglan also received a bottle of elemental potion as compensation.
“A potion worth ten thousand right off the bat, the Martial Arts Hall truly has deep pockets.”
Putting away the potion, Li Canglan went to the training hall.
He planned to Cultivate the Stepping Wind Steps.
He found a Martial Artist who was furiously attacking a target to spar with him.
The other person just needed to attack.
But for a live target like him, there was much more to consider.
That person held a blunt spearhead coated with white ash and thrust it at Li Canglan.
Although fast, it was still easily dodged by Li Canglan.
A few minutes later, that person was panting heavily.
Without having to worry about the target fighting back, he thrust almost every spear with full force.
Yet, not even a single white mark was left on Li Canglan!
“Bro… brother, your speed is too fast!”
That person exclaimed.
He was also a One-Star Warrior of the Middle Stage.
Even with full effort, he couldn't hit his opponent.
If it were a real battle, he probably wouldn't even know how he died!
“Holy cow, it’s He Xinghai!”
Among the Martial Artists training, someone recognized Li Canglan and cried out in surprise.
In an instant, the students who had watched his previous battle all gathered around.
“He Xinghai, how do you usually train? Can you teach me?”
“How can I become as strong as you?”
“Brother, can you offer a guided training course?”
Seeing the increasing crowd, Li Canglan instantly felt his scalp tingle.
As the saying goes, 'people fear fame, pigs fear getting fat,' and it was indeed true!
He quickly used the Stepping Wind Steps.
Like a ghost, he moved and dodged around everyone, avoiding them one by one.
In the blink of an eye, he escaped the crowd.
These students, who had come because of his reputation, were mostly Body Tempering Realm Martial Apprentices, with the strongest being only a One-Star Warrior.
In front of Li Canglan, who possessed the Raging Wind Thunder Eagle Martial Artist imprint, their speed was negligible.
When Li Canglan returned to the training room, he happened to see Guan Zixing and others walking out.
“Don’t worry, Manager, we’ve already repaired the worn areas in the training room, and there will definitely be no more energy leakage!”
The leading engineer confidently assured Guan Zixing.
Guan Zixing nodded, “I hope so.”
“Manager Guan, is it repaired?”
Hearing Li Canglan’s voice, Guan Zixing looked up and smiled slightly,
“It’s already repaired, Mr. He can use it anytime.”
“If Mr. He has any problems, he can contact us at any time.”
The VIP training room was also one of the advantages that Jinghai and the other five major Martial Arts Halls had over smaller Martial Arts Halls.
Cultivating under the weakened crystal core energy, refining the body, and then absorbing energy.
In a short period, it could increase the absorption speed by at least nearly five times!
If there were a VIP with a bad temper.
Just this period of downtime would likely cause dissatisfaction among the guests!
Li Canglan nodded, and after everyone left, he continued to enter the training room to Cultivate.
“Indeed, you get what you pay for.”
Li Canglan sat down cross-legged and chuckled,
“Although Cultivating here still can’t compare to directly absorbing crystal cores, it’s pretty close.”
As his voice fell, he continued to circulate Gluttony Desire.
The sharp wind blades cut into Li Canglan, causing a slight pain.
He had only been out for a while, and the damage from these wind blades had increased significantly?
Fortune and misfortune are intertwined.
However, this also meant that he could absorb more energy.
Li Canglan frowned slightly and continued to frantically absorb energy.
On the other side, more than an hour later, the panting staff member once again sought out Guan Zixing.
“Manager, the crystal core energy in that room is used up again!”
Guan Zixing’s face darkened, and he slammed his palm on the table, roaring,
“What are these repair engineers even doing? They can’t even handle such a small matter?”
“They swore to me earlier that it was definitely fixed! Get me the engineers!”
The VIP training rooms were basically operating at a loss.
The purpose was to build good relationships with those esteemed Martial Artists.
But there’s a limit to waste!
Guan Zixing didn’t trust the engineers of his own Martial Arts Hall, and he turned his head to look at the staff member.
“Go to the Martial Arts Association and invite someone to come take a look.”
He himself got up and walked towards the training room.
On the other side, Li Canglan, who had been absorbing energy, suddenly felt that the power of the surrounding wind blades had significantly weakened.
He frowned; this was very annoying.
If he continued to absorb, he felt that it wouldn't be long before he could fully form the second wind element divine pattern!
At such a critical moment, it stopped?
“Could it be that the energy contained in one room is limited?”
Thinking of this, Li Canglan got up.
He prepared to switch to another room to condense the second divine pattern.
