Chapter 92 - Internal Division
Xia Fei had taken the day off from Qin Mang, first was because he would be heading to the internal division for a twenty-four-hour special training tomorrow and second because he had gotten hold of the Amberice Crystal he needed for concoction and wanted to concentrate on formulating the medicine.
Setting up the concoction machine, Xia Fei brushed his spatial ring with his finger and retrieved a milky-white rock from within.
The rock was uncut, angularly shaped, and translucent in appearance, looking of good purity.
This was the legendary Amberice Crystal, and Xia Fei had paid an exorbitant price just to get his hands on it.
Xia Fei had only managed to get his hands on this small, white rock after trading in the 3000 points he had gotten for winning the extreme hovercar race, plus the four-cubic-meter spatial ring in his possession.
Xia Fei examined and inspected that sliver of Amberice Crystal in his hand before he sighed. Placing it on the table, he then retrieved the Luan Spirit he had from his spatial ring.
These were two high-quality medicinal ingredients, one of which bearing the extreme cold attribute, while the other was extreme heat. Neither was compatible with each other.
Taking the elevator down fifteen levels, Xiao Haili took out five numbered cards and handed them to the freshmen.
Ye Xiaohan hesitated for a moment before she bit her lip and said, “Xia Fei, come with me.”
The ever mischievous Moon Song flashed a funny face toward Xia Fei and whispered, “Everyone, look; someone’s getting preferential treatment.”
Beihai and Manjun covered their mouths and sniggered, while Xiao Haili felt unhappy standing at the side. However, he did not show it on his face and still maintained his bright smile.
Ye Xiaohan ignored the ridicule of the others and caught up to Xia Fei in a few steps, stepping into Room 1512 together.
Ye Xiaohan reached out to take Xia Fei’s card from his hand and stuck it into the slot next to the door to gain access inside.
“Come in; I have something to tell you,” Ye Xiaohan said in a low voice.
Sound could easily travel inside the sealed space, so there was no need for her to be loud. Nevertheless, Moon Song and the others could still hear her clearly, and several of them broke into chortles again.
Xiao Haili was clenching his teeth a distance away as he coldly stared at Xia Fei and Ye Xiaohan.
Xia Fei had no choice but to step into the room, and just as he crossed the threshold, Ye Xiaohan shut the door behind him.
“The Stygian Training Center’s training rooms are very extraordinary. There is an abundance of energy inside, allowing cadets to continuously replenish their energy while training, and it has the added effect of improving your physical function. You need to remember not to adjust the energy to its max from the start but gradually adjust it, instead,” Ye Xiaohan instructed Xia Fei.
“Haven’t all these been mentioned just now?” Xia Fei asked suspiciously.
Ye Xiaohan lowered her head to think for a while. “Am I very uncompassionate?”
Xia Fei was slightly stunned by this question, but he soon replied with a slight smile, “Honestly, a little, but it’s not too severe.”
Ye Xiaohan appeared to be slightly disappointed. She lightly nodded before turning to leave the room.
Xia Fei paced around the room once to first familiarize himself with the surroundings.
The training room was partitioned into an inside space and outside space. The outside is a living space, with an AI computer, sofa, table and chair, bed, and an ensuite bathroom.
There were circular holes on the walls and ceiling of the inside space, a bit like a honeycomb, and soft carpeting on the ground. There was nothing else inside it aside from that.
Xia Fei walked into the inner room and turned a knob in the wall just as Ye Xiaohan had just mentioned.
Just turning it a bit, Xia Fei could feel an intense energy wave, flooding the room wildly all around him, like an endless sea that was unceasing.
This energy wave was very unusual, almost as if it penetrated the surface of his flesh and reached deep into the recesses of his body.
It was like inflating a balloon; the unceasing flow of energy very quickly entered his body, and soon, Xia Fei’s skin began to redden.
Phantom was walking around the room on his tiptoes, examining the room as he did.
“Do you still remember the Heart of Spirit?” Phantom asked.
Xia Fei nodded. “It’s what we used when exploring Atlantis. I remember you saying that it’s a kind of pure energy that contains the universe’s origin power.”
“That’s right. I dare to say that the energy you’re filling now is the same kind as Heart of Spirit, but what I have difficulty understanding is how they managed to convert it into this sort of energy undulation that can be absorbed into the human body.”
Xia Fei had once read something in the books about how energy was split into two types: wave and linear. Linear energy could provide machines with power, but humans were unable to absorb it all due to their structural particularity; our bodies could only absorb the scattered energy given off from the wave energy.
To be able to convert the linear energy of the Heart of Spirit into the wave energy that human bodies could absorb—the technology behind this process was simply astounding.
If humans could master this technology, humanity’s dependency on food to replenish their energy could be eliminated, and they would be able to re-energize themselves directly just by holding onto an ore that contained energy.
This would not only solve the inefficiency of humans needing to depend on food to replenish their energy but would also greatly strengthen humanity’s physical constitution.
“This is just too wonderful. No wonder the Adjudicator Union can be this great even these days. Turns out that they’re in possession of such advanced technology,” Phantom excitedly muttered to himself.
In a short while, Xia Fei could feel uneasiness overwhelming his body as if there was an uncountable quantity of silver needles prickling his body, making him feel unbearably itchy all over.
“Would having such energy help with my cultivation?” Xia Fei asked.
“Nope,” Phantom immediately answered. “Your body’s ability to cultivate has already been ruined, so this energy is useless for you. At best, it can let you feel very energized.”
Xia Fei was left speechless as disappointment crept up his heart.
“However, this sort of energy can speed up your cell movement, and that will be very helpful in boosting your body’s medicinal absorption rate. If you stay in such an environment for some time, you can speed up the rate at which your body absorbs medicine, which will in turn help you rank up.”
Xia Fei was quite surprised. “Speed up my medicinal absorption rate?”
He took out the equipment from his spatial ring and placed it against his skin for a reading. A quick glance at the result and Xia Fei was ecstatic. “Oh, wow! My alpha value is dropping fast! The rate of this decrease means I can completely absorb the medicinal residue in my body in the next few hours, then it’ll be time for my next round of medicine intake to increase my cultivation!”
