22: Top-tier training room

Half an hour later, Consultant arrived at Dragon County’s North City.

As Zuo Dao had said, this training ground was very noticeable!

A massive building stood before him, adorned with Dragon County’s emblem.

Awakened Ones came and went, all heading in for cultivation.

As Consultant approached, he noticed a banner hanging above the building—

'To celebrate the Bounty Hunter Guild's eradication of the Silver Vine Demon Realm Flower from the canal in Dragon County, all Bounty Hunter Guild members who come to this training ground will receive free entry until the end of this month!'

Before coming, Consultant had actually checked the price list for this training ground.

The cost varied depending on the room's grade and configuration.

Even the cheapest training room cost 200 yuan per hour.

The most expensive was 800!

But with this banner now, Consultant breathed a sigh of relief: free things were always the best!

Consultant immediately entered through the main gate with his Slime.

Inside the building, many people were lining up, standing at different counters according to their profession and desired training programs.

Consultant found a queue specifically for Bounty Hunters; this channel seemed to have just opened, and not many people were queuing, so he quickly followed the crowd to the front.

The receptionist at the counter was a short-haired girl.

"Hello, please show your Bounty Hunter identification."

The girl's voice was sweet, and her attitude was excellent.

"Okay." Consultant pulled his Bounty Hunter card from his pocket and showed it to the girl.

After a quick glance, her expression subtly changed, and she softly murmured, "Beast Tamer?"

"Is there a problem?" Consultant asked in a low voice, not wanting to attract attention.

The short-haired girl snapped back to reality and shook her head, "Of course not."

After she finished speaking, she quickly registered him on the list beside her, then handed over an elevator card and explained:

"You can take the magic elevator next to you to the top floor. All Bounty Hunters will enjoy the highest-tier training rooms during this period, and you can freely choose your room."

"Highest-tier means..."

"Food and beverages are free, there's a private bath and lounge, and you can also freely choose the training room's configuration."

The girl's emphasis was clearly on the latter half, but Consultant was already smiling after hearing the first half.

Understood, a bathhouse, and it's free!

"Understood, thank you for your hard work!"

Consultant took the card and turned to walk aside.

The girl watched Consultant's retreating figure, paused for a moment, and then quickly began to attend to the next Awakened One... Consultant followed the directions and arrived next to an elevator.

He swiped the card on a nearby panel, and a crystal door slowly opened, emitting a faint blue aura.

"Magic power?"

As a Magic Swordsman, Consultant recognized at a glance that the blue aura represented magic power.

This meant that this training ground must have a very powerful mage?

Consultant thought to himself as he stepped into the elevator.

Click, click, click... The crystal door sensed someone entering and quickly closed.

There were no buttons in the elevator, only a groove.

He swiped the card on it again, and felt the surrounding magic power begin to surge.

In just a few seconds, the crystal door in front of him opened again.

Ahead was a straight corridor, with a red velvet carpet on the floor.

Some Awakened Ones walked together, exchanging experiences gained from training.

Next to them were individual rooms, silent within, with blue magic power flickering on their doors, clearly indicating they had been cast with a silencing spell.

Consultant looked around the corridor... In the training rooms, blue imprints flickering on the doors indicated that they were occupied, and others could not enter freely.

Consultant circled around and found an unoccupied room.

He pushed the door open, noticing that the room was nothing special, just a large, empty space.

But just as he placed his card on the crystal base nearby, the entire room underwent a dramatic change the next second!

Blue magic power began to surge, and a stone slab slowly rose from the ground.

Blue characters pulsed on this stone slab, like the interface of some game, presenting Consultant with many options.

"Profession... Magic Puppet... Quantity..."

Consultant selected each option, and after organizing the information panel, the stone slab sank back down, followed by a blue light illuminating the entire room.

The aura of magic power fluctuated, but Consultant felt no discomfort.

It seemed the mage controlling these training rooms was incredibly skilled!

The blue light flickered for about a minute before slowly dissipating, and the previously empty room had completely transformed.

Not far away, various sword-shaped weapons were displayed, all suitable for Magic Swordsmen.

Consultant possessed the famous sword moon shadow, so he didn't need those weapons for now; he glanced at them and then looked forward.

Directly in front was a huge Demon Realm Flower, its appearance exactly like the Silver Vine Demon Realm Flower he had seen not long ago.

The difference was that this Demon Realm Flower's exterior glowed with a blue magical light.

Clearly, this was a virtual illusion created using magic.

This was the 'target' in the training room.

Consultant hadn't set up too many things, simply using the training room's magic power to create the necessary equipment.

"Alright, let's begin!"

He exhaled slowly, placing the Slime from his head to the side.

Whoosh!

Then, with a casual wave, he drew the famous sword moon shadow from his space ring.

The blade emitted a blue light in the magic-rich environment.

Consultant held the scabbard, feeling that the sword was already filled with magic power, trembling like an impatient beast!

...Hmph!

He took a deep breath, looked at the virtual Demon Realm Flower in front, stepped forward, lightly touched the hilt with his right hand, paused for a second, then drew his sword—

"Crescent Moon Shadow!"

A blue sword qi burst forth from the blade!

A one-meter-long sword qi, imbued with magical light, directly struck the Demon Realm Flower, then erupted into a ball of blue magical flames!

The Demon Realm Flower's illusion flickered, and then a panel floated before Consultant.

It was a panel for testing the power of an Awakened One's moves, which could infer information about the Awakened One based on the damage dealt.

[Name: Consultant.]

[Profession: Magic Swordsman.]

[Damage Source: famous sword moon shadow — Crescent Moon Shadow.]

[Damage Type: Physical, Magic.]

[Damage Test: This damage can kill a Tier 2 Intermediate Magical Beast at most!]

Consultant was not satisfied with this effect.

For magical beasts, anything below Level 10 was considered an ordinary beast; even ordinary people could kill them if they found a way.

Levels 10 to 20 were called Tier 1 Magical Beasts, Levels 20 to 30 were called Tier 2 Magical Beasts, and so on.

Before he became a Magic Swordsman, he had already killed a Level 15 Demon Realm Flower, which was a Tier 1 Intermediate Magical Beast, relying on his Beast Tamer and Slime's abilities.

Now that he used a weapon, he could only kill Tier 2 Magical Beasts around Level 25.

Consultant checked his own panel and found that as a Magic Swordsman, he hadn't mastered any related skills; his only skill was the one that came with famous sword moon shadow... Just as he was pondering how to improve his Magic Swordsman strength, the system's prompt sound arrived:

[Hint: Dual-class Awakened Ones can combine skills from different classes to achieve extraordinary effects!]

"Combine them..."

Consultant muttered to himself, then his eyes suddenly lit up, and he turned to look at the Slime rolling on the ground.

He got it!
