66: One star late stage!
Opening the door, Li Canglan happened to see Guan Zixing preparing to press the notification button.
Behind Guan Zixing followed the maintenance workers from before.
"Manager Guan, what are you doing?"
Guan Zixing's expression was somewhat awkward.
"This training room seems to have some issues; elemental energy keeps leaking out, so I'm planning to bring people in to repair it."
Li Canglan wore a look of sudden realization. He was completely unaware that he was the one who had caused all of this.
"So that's it!"
He looked at Guan Zixing with earnest words, "I was just Cultivating earlier and felt that the elemental energy had thinned out quite a bit. You really must fix it quickly."
Guan Zixing nodded repeatedly and turned to glare at the maintenance engineers. The engineers immediately slunk into the training room to inspect it.
Just then, a Martial Artist happened to walk out of the Wind Element training room. Li Canglan asked the other person, and after confirming they had finished their Cultivation, he walked in.
"The force of this wind blade is what makes it comfortable!"
Li Canglan stretched, a smile involuntarily appearing at the corners of his mouth. This feeling of being able to sense himself getting stronger was just too satisfying!
Outside, the Martial Arts Association engineer arrived quickly. However, after he checked the No. 3 training room inside and out, he wore a puzzled expression.
"There's no problem with this training room; there's nothing that needs repairing."
Guan Zixing was stunned, "How is that possible?"
He recounted everything that had happened before to the engineer from start to finish. "If there's no problem with the training room, did this crystal core energy just vanish into thin air?"
The engineer shrugged, "It's useless to tell me these things. I'm just an engineer; how would I understand such things?"
After speaking, the Martial Arts Association engineer collected his fees from Guan Zixing and left with his team.
"Manager, what do we do now?" Beside him, the martial arts gym staff waited for Guan Zixing's instructions.
Guan Zixing pondered for a long time before saying in a deep voice, "Continue to keep it open."
Just as he was about to leave, another staff member ran over with an anxious expression. "Manager, the crystal core energy in another training room has run out too!"
"Which one?" Guan Zixing asked hurriedly. "The No. 5 Wind Element training room!"
No. 5? Guan Zixing's heart skipped a beat. If he remembered correctly, the one He Xinghai had just entered seemed to be Room No. 5?
Could it be that everything happening was related to He Xinghai? As soon as this thought arose, he dismissed it in his heart.
Crystal core energy is so violent. Even after being weakened, it cannot be underestimated. Only a Martial Artist's body can use it for Body Tempering, thereby indirectly increasing the speed of energy absorption.
A Martial Artist's blood vessels and internal tissues simply cannot withstand this energy!
While those outside were overwhelmed with anxiety, Li Canglan looked at the second Wind Element divine pattern that had successfully and completely condensed, his heart filled with great joy.
"Finally, One-star Late Stage!"
In one week, going from 75 Qi and blood value, crossing the Body Tempering Realm, to reaching the One-star Late Stage. This progress was enough to shock the entire world!
"Wind, rise." As his words fell, a cool breeze blew past, drying all the sweat on his body. A trace of coolness refreshed his heart.
"It's a pity that the energy in this room isn't enough to absorb, otherwise I could have tried to Breakthrough directly to Two-star!"
Feeling the powerful strength within his body and his stronger control over the Wind Element, Li Canglan walked out of the training room with satisfaction.
Then he saw Guan Zixing and the others guarding the door, staring blankly at each other.
"He..." Before Guan Zixing could finish speaking, Li Canglan interrupted him, "Manager Guan, this training room of yours is quite good."
Li Canglan smiled, "It's just that the energy inside seems to lack staying power; it runs out after Cultivating for a while."
By this time, how could Guan Zixing not know that all of this was Li Canglan's doing?
He really wanted to refuse to let the other party continue using the training room, but that would be turning a customer away. Not to mention, the other party had just helped them out of a bind this afternoon.
"Mr. He." Guan Zixing stepped forward and smiled, "It is late now, and the martial arts gym has prepared a sumptuous dinner." "If Mr. He is interested, you may move to the dining hall for the banquet."
It was already nine o'clock at night; saying it was late was actually being a bit euphemistic. But his top priority was to temporarily divert Li Canglan. Investigating the reason for everything that happened was more important.
Li Canglan rubbed his stomach, a desire for food erupting in his eyes. He hadn't felt it while he was busy absorbing elemental energy. Now that Guan Zixing mentioned it, he suddenly felt famished and couldn't wait to have a big meal.
"Replenish the crystal core for me, and you two go in and Cultivate!" After Li Canglan left, Guan Zixing immediately assigned two people to enter the training room to Cultivate.
The two of them were instantly overjoyed. This kind of Advanced training room could only be enjoyed by VIPs. Given their status and position, where would they have the qualifications to enjoy it on normal days?
However, as soon as they entered, they profoundly realized their own stupidity. Pain! It was too painful! The cold wind felt like small blades, cutting into their bodies. It made them grimace and bare their teeth, the pain unbearable.
"This place... is it really meant for people to stay in?" The two, who originally thought it would be an enjoyment, felt as if they were in Hell.
A short time was fine; they could rely on willpower to persist. But if the time was long, they would likely faint directly inside!
"As expected, this isn't just a benefit for VIPs." The staff member said, their face twisted in pain, "Without strength, even if you have the opportunity, you can't stay in here!"
But they knew that spending as much time as possible in the training room would be of greater benefit to them. Therefore, even though they gritted their teeth, they persisted until they fell unconscious.
Over an hour passed, and after changing three groups of people, Guan Zixing finally determined that there was absolutely no problem with these two rooms. The one with the problem could only be the person Cultivating in the training room!
And at this moment, Li Canglan had already finished a brief rest after gorging himself. He was walking over under the gazes of everyone.
Seeing that Li Canglan didn't seem to have any intention of entering a training room, Guan Zixing couldn't help but heave a sigh of relief.
However, at the end of the corridor, Li Canglan walked into the Thunder Element training room.
Guan Zixing's right eyelid twitched.
"Manager, don't worry." The staff member beside him wiped away cold sweat and whispered, "Mr. He went to the Wind Element training room before, but the one he entered just now is the Thunder Element."
"According to my guess, Mr. He should possess a Wind Element talent; in the Thunder Element training room, he certainly won't be like he was before."
Guan Zixing's face darkened, "Should? Certainly? Do you dare to guarantee that?" The person immediately trembled, not daring to make a sound.
Guan Zixing could only hope in his heart that Li Canglan would be as the staff member guessed.
However, not long after, his phone suddenly rang. "Manager, the energy in Thunder Element Room No. 1 has been exhausted."
