Chapter 21: Chapter 21: Simulation Training Ground, Formation to Enhance Cultivation Speed
Dugu Yan's words were like a thunderclap, instantly silencing the entire room.
Gradually, as everyone regained their senses, they began to whisper among themselves.
"Does Dugu Yan even know how to speak? She should understand how precious a simulation training ground is, right? There's only one in the entire continent, and it's in our academy!"
"Yeah, so why is she putting down our Heaven Dou Royal Academy while raising her own family's place?"
"I remember her family... isn't it the Sunset Forest? What's so great about living in the Sunset Forest?"
"Could it be... Dugu Yan is like a primitive person? Maybe she's not used to our place, so she's saying ours is worse?"
Upon hearing the word "primitive," Lu Yunzhou couldn't help but smile naturally.
Seeing that no one was believing her words, Dugu Yan seemed displeased. As she pursed her lips, her gaze shifted to Lu Yunzhou.
"Brother, they're bullying me!"
"Show them your skills so they'll know how powerful you are."
After hearing Dugu Yan's words and confirming that she wasn't mistaken, Lu Yunzhou immediately realized what was going on—he had just been tricked!
"So, you want me to create a 'Spirit Gathering Formation' here, one identical to the Sunset Forest, to make them believe you weren't lying?"
Lu Yunzhou communicated with Dugu Yan through secret sound transmission, his tone filled with suspicion and displeasure.
In response, Dugu Yan also used sound transmission to explain her intentions and plans.
"Brother, just help me out. Let them see your abilities."
"And that Yu Tianheng, he's always bullying me, trying to suppress me. Think about it—if you help the Heaven Dou Royal Academy create a 'Spirit Gathering Formation,' then doesn't that mean I can become the team captain?"
"Once that happens, Yu Tianheng will be under my foot!"
"And I'll be able to trample him however I want!"
After saying this, as if remembering something, Dugu Yan's voice turned soft, adding with a pitiful tone, "Brother, you... you don't want me to be bullied, right?"
Lu Yunzhou: "..."
After taking a moment to collect himself, Lu Yunzhou stood up, his hands behind his back, and said, "Since you've already said that, then there's no point in me saying more. If you want me to show, then I'll show."
With that, Lu Yunzhou looked around the crowd before slowly rising into the air.
Upon hearing Lu Yunzhou's words and seeing his preparations, Xue Qinghe frowned slightly and began to think deeply.
"A simulation training ground is more precious than a thousand-year-old soul bone, but Dugu Yan says that it's not as comfortable, fast, or effective as what she has at her family's place. Could there be some hidden reason behind this?"
After snapping back to reality, Xue Qinghe watched as Lu Yunzhou's energy began to surge while he rose into the air.
With this, Xue Qinghe took the initiative to instruct everyone present to step back.
Xue Qinghe had witnessed Lu Yunzhou's cultivation methods before, but still, just to be safe, he decided to retreat to a safe distance to observe.
As the crowd watched Lu Yunzhou rise into the air, their excitement grew.
"What is he doing? He looks like he's about to do something amazing."
"He can walk side by side with His Highness the Prince, and his aura even surpasses the Prince's. So he must not be an ordinary person, but... what exactly is he planning?"
"Let's watch quietly, everyone. I feel like something big is about to happen!"
As Lu Yunzhou sat cross-legged in mid-air, several strange little flags hovered before him, which puzzled Ye Lingling from the Nine-Heart Begonia Clan. She couldn't help but ask Dugu Yan, "Yan Yan, what's your brother doing?"
Dugu Yan, however, gave only two words in response: "Setting up a formation!"
At hearing this, Xue Qinghe's pupils shrank.
Yesterday, Xue Qinghe had already witnessed Lu Yunzhou's extraordinary abilities and knew that a formation master was closely related to formations. So, hearing that Lu Yunzhou was setting up a formation, Xue Qinghe began to have a thought in his mind:
"Could it be... that he plans to set up a formation similar to the 'simulation training ground,' one that can speed up and improve Soul Master cultivation? Or... is he going to lay down an even more powerful formation?"
Breathing deeply, Xue Qinghe waited eagerly for what would come next.
The simulation training ground was extremely rare. Not even the Blue Lightning Tyrant Dragon Clan, the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile Sect, or the mighty Haotian Sect had one. Even the Star Luo Empire didn't possess it. The only one was a small version used by the Pope of Spirit Hall.
If Lu Yunzhou could casually set up a formation more powerful than a simulation training ground, then his importance would be akin to a national treasure!
Of course, even if that wasn't the case, he would still be considered a "national treasure," a priceless asset to the empire.
Meanwhile, Chen Xin and Ning Fengzhi, who were equally familiar with Lu Yunzhou's capabilities, eagerly awaited the outcome.
"Creating a formation comparable to a simulation training ground? That should... be impossible, right?"
Chen Xin wasn't sure if Lu Yunzhou could do it. After all, this kind of feat seemed too extraordinary.
If it were a killing or defensive formation, he could believe that Lu Yunzhou could easily create it. But a formation that could speed up Soul Master cultivation? Chen Xin didn't think Lu Yunzhou could pull that off. After all, the two types of formations were on entirely different levels.
Yet, because of Lu Yunzhou's terrifying abilities, Chen Xin couldn't help but start to believe that he might just be able to do it.
"If he really can create a formation more powerful than a simulation training ground, then my Seven Treasure Glazed Tile Sect won't be able to control him."
"At that point, the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile Sect will have no choice but to become his friend. After all, someone like him cannot be controlled by our sect, nor can Spirit Hall, the two empires, or even the Haotian Sect."
Thinking about this, Ning Fengzhi clenched his fists.
Such a talent, he truly wanted to bring him into his fold!
