108: Registration complete

"Oh, oh... don't be angry..." Tian Tian murmured, as if she had been hurt by a scumbag.

Chu Yuan knew this wasn't her true nature, but rather the effect of the mental pollution inflicted by the Nightmare Insect Clan; but there was no way to explain this... so he could only pretend not to see the scornful gazes of Xiang Ning and the others...

"Doesn't she lack a spot? Why did you bring her here? Planning to pull strings?" Xiang Ning asked curiously; the spots for the Jianmu Project had already been finalized, and there had been no mention of any last-minute additions.

"The Xiyun Town Martial Bureau had issues, and the spot should have been hers to begin with." Chu Yuan said with a calm, matter-of-fact expression.

"..." Some people hearing this felt a bit repulsed, thinking that Chu Yuan was taking himself too seriously.

But his accumulated prestige was heavy, and no one wanted to follow in Pang Long's footsteps... so they pretended not to hear...

The line moved slowly, and it wasn't until night fell that Chu Yuan reached the front; at the same time, he realized why the registration process was so slow!

Verifying identity information was just the basics; beyond that, everyone had to step into a special device.

There was an energy similar to Mental Energy permeating it, seemingly wanting to see through a person completely, probing carefully from the inside out!

That fluctuation was pervasive, making Chu Yuan feel somewhat uncomfortable; he subconsciously mobilized his Divine Sense to resist, but to his surprise, the machine immediately let out an alert sound...

"You can already actively mobilize your Mental Energy?" Commander Zheng walked over, looking appreciative, and said with a smile: "Do not resist; this is a method used to detect and prevent infiltration by alien races. Other than that, it will not cause any harm to the body. It only responds to Mental Energy that does not belong to the Human Race..."

Chu Yuan obeyed, and the machine immediately returned to calm.

After another dozen seconds, he heard Commander Zheng speak: "Alright, come out."

Chu Yuan walked out of the machine from the other end and said: "Commander Zheng, this girl is named Tian Tian..."

Commander Zheng waved his hand: "Elder Han has already told me about the matter in Xiyun City; but a city only has three spots, that is a hard rule."

"But isn't this matter the fault of the Zhenwu Bureau..."

Commander Zheng's eye twitched—you brat, you're also part of the Zhenwu Bureau, how can you speak with no regard for consequences? He quickly interrupted him: "Therefore, you can have Tian Tian challenge any one of the students from Xiyun City. The winner stays, and the loser leaves."

In reality, these words were equivalent to letting Tian Tian stay; although one of the three students from Xiyun City knew Pang Long, they were not part of the Pang Family after all, and their strength was very limited; the strongest had only just promoted to the Leakless Realm.

Let alone one, even all three tied together wouldn't be enough to fight Tian Tian! After all, Tian Tian was in the Inner Breath Realm... Those insects had kidnapped her but hadn't done anything to her body; on the contrary, her aura was even stronger than before...

Commander Zheng's voice was not quiet, so the three students from Xiyun City all changed their expressions; they prayed that Tian Tian would not pick them...

The challenge went smoothly, but when Tian Tian passed through the detection machine, an anomaly occurred, and the alert sound kept ringing; not knowing if Commander Zheng had received some instructions from Han Ting, he did not ask too many questions and easily let Tian Tian pass.

Chu Yuan finally arrived at the single dormitory assigned to him; the room was fully furnished with exquisite decor, not even looking like it had been rushed to completion.

More importantly, the energy concentration was high!

Of course, it was the same as usual; the energy concentration absorbed by Martial Artists was the highest, ten times that of the natural environment! Other types... were only about fifty percent higher than the outside world.

Chu Yuan expanded his Divine Sense and saw the energy circuits embedded within the walls; they had a hint of an Energy Gathering Array, but the two were not on the same level.

In fact, he had long since let it go; the level of energy intensity was not that important.

If he had really honestly absorbed and refined Spiritual Qi, he probably wouldn't even have entered the Foundation Establishment Stage yet.

He still had to pop pills, whether they were normal Medicinal Pills, or major medicines refined from living beings like Blood Pills or spirit nurturing pills! The assistance they could provide was not something that mere energy intensity could compare to...

But even a mosquito's leg is meat; Chu Yuan found the location of the Formation core and pressed his hand onto it: "Convert!"

[ ...Converted: Azure Emperor Spirit Gathering Array! Daily conversion count: 0!]

In an instant, the room seemed to fill with fog! Countless amounts of energy were sucked in and firmly confined within the room of several dozen square meters!

With a rough perception, Chu Yuan confirmed that the Spiritual Qi concentration in the room at this moment was dozens of times higher than in the natural environment!

The Spiritual Qi that originally required active absorption and refinement was now seemingly drilling into his body on its own, vying to be first...

Chu Yuan subconsciously circulated the Golden Core Great Dao Song; the flawless Golden Core within his body moved slightly, emitting a terrifying suction force that pulled at the surrounding energy!

A thought appeared in his mind: "Will this be too loud of a commotion..."

"This kid really knows how to cause trouble; he makes such a big commotion as soon as he arrives; however, even if he is in the Divine Power Realm, is this the kind of commotion a Divine Power Realm Martial Artist should be making?"

"Don't even mention the Divine Power Realm; even I don't have such strong energy absorption efficiency when I Cultivate now."

"Tsk, how did he do it? And isn't he afraid of bursting himself..."

"Perhaps Guardian Wei gave him some treasure." Zheng Qian said with a joking smile: "Who told him to have a good Master? Besides, have you forgotten that Chu Yuan has already obtained the Martial God Scroll? With Director Qin's martial path, it's not strange to cause such a commotion..."

The person next to him stopped dwelling on it upon hearing this; Wei Huang was in the Eighth Realm and had plenty of means to obtain treasures they had never seen before, so there was no problem with him using them for his own disciple.

He just said with some hesitation: "Chu Yuan's strength is a bit of a gap... the originally arranged content really doesn't seem enough now; but if we raise the danger level, it won't be suitable for the others..."

"There's no other way; we can't just give him the first-place reward and tell him to go cool off somewhere, right?" The man laughed: "He would definitely have no objections."

"...It's fine, this is just an appetizer; the real test is still on the Outer Heaven Battlefield."

"I hope a few good seedlings can emerge; I'm not asking for them to grow into heaven-reaching sacred trees... but if a few pillars of support can emerge, then it won't have been a waste of effort."
