"Big brother, you're awesome!" Qian Duoduo appeared behind Gu Yu at this moment, giving Gu Yu a thumbs up. He had seen Gu Yu's strength before; it was very strong, comparable to Jiang Tianchen. The key was that Gu Yu wasn't alone; he also had Xu Ling'er, this prodigy. With the two of them working together, probably no one except those two at the Spine Realm would be their match.

"It's time to sleep." Gu Yu ignored Qian Duoduo. Looking at the shattered door, Gu Yu frowned, then went inside and sat on the bed. Qian Duoduo sat on the sofa, looking at Gu Yu with a mix of excitement and fear. He was excited because he had made the right bet, but afraid that Gu Yu might extort him like Jiang Tianchen. Wouldn't that be like going from one wolf's den to another?

Gu Yu sat cross-legged, surrounded by a surge of energy. A ball of life essence appeared, which he quickly absorbed and began to digest.

Although the action was quick, Qian Duoduo still saw it. The thing, the aura—Qian Duoduo's eyes lit up.

He recognized the essence of life. What Gu Yu had just absorbed was definitely the essence of life. Gu Yu actually possessed the essence of life! My God! Cultivating with the essence of life—what a luxury! Even he, Qian Duoduo, didn't have this privilege.

So powerful, so young, and possessing such vital essence—who exactly is Gu Yu? A tycoon? A noble family? Or a sect? All are possible.

Gu Yu didn't care about Qian Duoduo. He had just achieved unity of essence, energy, and spirit and needed to stabilize his cultivation. As for using life essence to cultivate, it was nothing to Gu Yu. He had enough contribution points to squander.

As the first rays of morning sunlight entered the room, Gu Yu slowly opened his eyes. A powerful aura emanated from him, startling Qian Duoduo, who was snoring.

"Big brother, congratulations on your breakthrough again." Qian Duoduo said with a flattering expression. He had now decided to acknowledge Gu Yu as his big brother, not for any other reason than that he might be able to get some life essence from Gu Yu!

Looking at Qian Duoduo, Gu Yu didn't say anything, but walked out of the room and knocked on Xu Ling'er's door.

"Gu Yu." Xu Ling'er opened the door and called out to Gu Yu.

"Ling'er, how did you sleep last night?"

"It's alright, very comfortable," Xu Ling'er said. "How about you?"

“I slept very well too.” Gu Yu took Xu Ling’er’s hand. “Ling’er, let’s go outside and take a look.”

“Hmm!” Xu Ling’er nodded, while Qian Duoduo, who was following behind, twitched at the corner of his mouth; he had been completely ignored.

And so, under the gaze of many, Gu Yu and Xu Ling'er strolled through the Dragon Division's training ground. The handsome man and beautiful woman were the only eyesore, with a fat pig following behind them.

However, Qian Duoduo didn't realize this. In his eyes, he didn't know why, but all eyes were on him today. Could it be because he had become more handsome?

In the training ground, some people had just arrived, some had been training for a while, and some had not returned all night, practicing desperately.

Without a background, without connections, without talent, and without resources, one can only rely on a hundred times more effort than others. However, the world is sometimes unfair. Even if some people put in all their efforts, they still cannot match the results of others' efforts for just one second. Of course, if you don't work hard, you can't do anything at all.

At this moment, the instructor who led Gu Yu to the dormitory yesterday came over. In fact, the instructor was quite respectful to Gu Yu and Xu Ling'er. After all, although he was an instructor, his cultivation level was not as high as Gu Yu and Xu Ling'er's. Most importantly, Gu Yu and Xu Ling'er were personally taught to him by Shi Polu.

Of course, Shi Polu also instructed him not to tell anyone that Gu Yu knew Shi Polu. It was this sentence that made the instructor feel that Gu Yu's identity was not simple and that he was probably a relative of Shi Polu.

"I'll take you to visit the training room," the instructor said.

"Okay." Gu Yu nodded. In the Dragon Clan, the training room is now the most attractive place for him.

The instructor led the way, with Gu Yu and Xu Ling'er following behind.

"By the way, instructor, my door was broken yesterday," Gu Yu said, remembering that Jiang Feng had kicked down his door the night before.

"Find a way to fix it yourself!" the instructor said, as if this was a common occurrence in his eyes.

"Alright!" Gu Yu nodded. He regretted kicking Jiang Feng away yesterday and instead made him fix his door before kicking him away.

"Don't worry, big brother, I've got your door covered," Qian Duoduo said as he stepped forward.

"Okay." Gu Yu was quite happy to have someone fix his door.

"The training room is just ahead," the instructor said, pointing to the three tall buildings in front of them.

"This is the gravity training room. There are three floors. The first floor is the basic gravity room, the second floor is the intermediate gravity room, and the third floor is the advanced gravity room," the instructor explained. Then he led Gu Yu and Xu Ling'er into the gravity training room.

"The primary gravity chamber can reach up to ten times the normal gravity, and it's usually where martial artists train." Upon entering the training room, Gu Yu saw people training inside. Their veins were bulging, and they were drenched in sweat. Every punch they threw was incredibly difficult.

The gravity chamber is of great help in filling and stabilizing the blood vessels. One hour of cultivation in the chamber is equivalent to several days of cultivation outside.

The instructor then led Gu Yu upstairs to the second floor, where there were far fewer people, only a handful.

"This is an intermediate gravity chamber. The maximum gravity can reach fifty times. Once you have enough blood to fill your sixty or more blood apertures, you can choose to cultivate here." Then the group continued upwards.

"The advanced gravity chamber can reach a gravity of one hundred times. It's a good place for some people to train their bodies. With your cultivation level, you probably don't need to train here, but if you want to train your bodies, you can give it a try," the instructor explained.

Even with a hundred times the gravity, it's difficult for a grandmaster to walk inside, but it's extremely beneficial to the physical body and blood vessels and meridians.

The group then headed to the Origin Qi cultivation room. The beginner Origin Qi cultivation room was filled with Origin Qi, with a thin layer of Origin Qi mist visible to the naked eye. The intermediate Origin Qi cultivation room had a very dense layer of Origin Qi mist, while the advanced Origin Qi cultivation room was almost liquid. Cultivating in this room was indeed twice as effective. The source of the Origin Qi was undoubtedly Origin Stones.

Next up is the combat simulation training room. Unlike the other two training rooms, the combat simulation room consists of individual rooms containing various instruments. In the center of each instrument is a capsule. Simply lie down inside the capsule to enter a simulated combat scenario.

In the beginner combat simulation room, the weakest opponent requires the strength of a high-level martial artist. In the intermediate combat simulation room, the weakest opponent is a grandmaster. In the advanced simulation room, the weakest opponent is at the vertebral realm, and the strongest can reach the general realm. If the opponent is stronger, the equipment cannot achieve that.

Training in the simulation room can improve combat experience, enhance combat awareness, and improve proficiency in combat tactics.

With these three training rooms, cultivators can rapidly increase their speed. This is why powerful families, wealthy clans, and sects send their top students to the Dragon Division. Even if they have their own training rooms, they can never compare to the Dragon Division's three training rooms.

"These are your student cards. With these cards, you can spend four hours a week training in the training room. Fifth-year students will also receive five basic source stones each month for training." The instructor said, handing the two cards to Gu Yu and Xu Ling'er.

"Ling'er, let's try out the combat simulation room." Gu Yu said to Xu Ling'er. He wasn't interested in the gravity room, nor did he care about the source energy cultivation room. The only thing he was interested in was the combat simulation room, as he had never seen such a thing in his previous life.

“Okay.” Xu Ling’er nodded; she was also very interested in it.

Gu Yu opened the door to a room, swiped his student card, and then lay down in the capsule in the middle of the simulated combat training room.

As he lay down, the machine started immediately. Gu Yu felt a jolt of dizziness in his head, and the next second he felt a bright light before his eyes. He found himself in a jungle.

"This is..." Looking at the scene before him, Gu Yu was somewhat incredulous. Had human technology really reached such a level?

It was obvious that the scene in front of him was virtual, but his consciousness had completely entered into it; that device could extract a person's consciousness.

It is important to understand that consciousness is very illusory. Some people call consciousness the soul. After the unity of essence, energy and spirit, once one enters the Convex Realm, the spirit that represents consciousness and one's own essence and energy will undergo a transformation, becoming the Primordial Spirit. The Primordial Spirit can be captured outside the body, but consciousness is very difficult to capture. Although the Primordial Spirit can intimidate the consciousness of others, it cannot extract the consciousness of others. In his previous life, Gu Yu could only barely do this after reaching the Emperor Realm. Therefore, he had to marvel at the power of human technology.

A gentle breeze blew through the jungle, brushing against Gu Yu's body, which he could clearly feel.

The next second, several strangely shaped humanoid monsters, wielding long swords, swept towards Gu Yu.

Gu Yu frowned, and a long sword appeared in his hand as well. However, this long sword was not the wooden sword he had used before, but an ordinary sword.

Gu Yu brandished his longsword, and bursts of energy instantly emanated from it as he clashed with the humanoid monsters.

"Mountain Opening." As Gu Yu repelled a monster, he instantly unleashed a slash, killing the monster with the blade's light. However, the next second, the area around the slain monster trembled, and the creature reappeared unharmed, charging towards Gu Yu once more.

The monsters cooperated extremely well with each other, forcing Gu Yu to retreat repeatedly. These monsters were all at the level of 12th-grade Grandmasters. Although they were not as strong as Gu Yu, their sheer number and constant regeneration put Gu Yu in a difficult and dangerous situation.

“Interesting,” Gu Yu murmured, looking at the knife wound on his arm inflicted by the monster.

He could actually feel pain; this combat simulation room was truly extraordinary.

"Extinction Cross Slash." The next second, Gu Yu's figure retreated, and the next second, his figure transformed into lightning, with countless cross-shaped blade beams spreading out, instantly killing several monsters.

Gu Yu had just breathed a sigh of relief when the monsters revived again, seemingly even stronger.

Gu Yu frowned again. Good heavens! At this rate, no one could hold on.

whoosh...

A monster suddenly slashed at Gu Yu with its blade. Gu Yu swung his blade to block. This monster initially had a combat power of only 9999N, but now it was probably close to N. If it died again, would it be able to get close to N? Thirteen monsters, with a combat power of N, together, would be enough to give even a Zhui Realm cultivator a hard time.

boom………

Gu Yu blasted the monster away with a single blow, his body instantly radiating energy. He hadn't used his full strength in the previous battle, but not now; he had given it his all.

"Open the heavens!" A massive blade of light slashed out, instantly annihilating several monsters beneath its blade.

Gu Yu's figure flashed again, his long sword moving like a serpent as he fought fiercely with the monsters.

Time passed second by second. Although Gu Yu's combat power was extraordinary, he was also starting to feel the strain. The combat power of these monsters had now reached N. Although they could be resurrected after being killed, their combat power seemed to have reached a bottleneck and would not increase any further.

That's true. If it continues to grow, even those from the Shii clan will be doomed, let alone those who aren't from the Shii clan.

"Ten Thousand Blades Return to the Source." At this moment, Gu Yu was covered in wounds. As Gu Yu unleashed his ultimate move, countless bursts of energy transformed into countless long blades, spreading towards the monsters.

The monsters that were about to charge forward were instantly annihilated by the longsword.

Watching the monsters being annihilated, Gu Yu breathed a sigh of relief. With his departure, and the monsters resurrecting, he would likely find it difficult to fight them again; he was already even weaker.

Seeing the monsters about to be resurrected, Gu Yu moved instantly and stepped out of the capsule.

"It really does drain my energy," Gu Yu murmured, feeling somewhat weak.

"Gu Yu, you're out." As soon as Gu Yu stepped out of the training room, he saw Xu Ling'er.

"Ling'er, how are you feeling?" Gu Yu asked, noticing that Xu Ling'er looked somewhat weak.

"I was no match for the monster in the end and was killed by it, so I came out," Xu Ling'er replied.

Her combat strength is only around N, so she is no match for the monsters that follow.

"It's been two hours." Gu Yu looked at the student card in his hand, which showed the timers for some training rooms. "Let's go to the Origin Qi Cultivation Room to recover."

Although Gu Yu has made contributions and is not short of source energy, he figured he might as well use the free source energy since he was currently weak and needed it to recover.

Gu Yu, Xu Ling'er, and Qian Duoduo had just arrived downstairs at the Origin Qi training room when they saw a group of people surrounding the two of them.

"Take out your student cards and let us use them."

"Your White Tiger Sect is going too far! I only have four hours a week, and you've already used three of them. If you give me more, what am I supposed to do?"

"Hmph! With your talent, it would be a waste to use it. You might as well give it to me."

"My Brotherhood still has members in the Southwest Source Gate. Aren't you afraid they'll come back?"

"Heh... Come back? As everyone knows, once you go to the Southwest Origin Gate, how can you ever come back? Either the Southwest Origin Gate is gone, or you're dead and brought back with your corpse, or you can only return with a name."

"Aren't you afraid that the leaders of the Dragon Clan will find out about your banditry?"

"Heh... So what if they know? If they wanted to care, they would have done it already." The man said dismissively, "Give it to me!"

The next second, he reached out and snatched the other person's student card. He was an eighth-grade grandmaster, while the other person was a first-grade grandmaster. They were no match for him at all.

In just a few moments, the man was forced to retreat, coughing up blood, and his student card appeared in the hands of the eighth-grade grandmaster student.

"Hehe... You won't listen to a toast, so you'll have to drink a forfeit. If you had handed it over earlier, there would have been no need for this." The man was about to leave with his student card when Gu Yu suddenly blocked his way, which startled him.

"Who are you? Get lost!" the man said arrogantly.

"I'm out of study time, can I borrow your student card for a bit?" Gu Yu said casually.

"What did you say?" The man was stunned at first, then reacted as if he had heard the biggest joke in the world. "Are you out of your mind? Do you know who I am? My name is Zhang Mingyang, and I am the head of the White Tiger Sect."

At this point, Zhang Mingyang looked incredibly arrogant, as if he could already imagine Gu Yu begging for mercy after hearing his name.

The next second, unexpectedly, Gu Yu suddenly slapped Zhang Mingyang, who was sent flying before he could even react. During the flight, all of his teeth fell out.

"Never heard of you. Trash like you doesn't deserve to enter the Origin Qi Training Room. Give me your student card." Gu Yu suddenly appeared beside Zhang Mingyang, stepping on Zhang Mingyang's chest, and a terrifying aura emanated from him.

Zhang Mingyang was completely stunned. He had been beaten, and by a very strong opponent. His mouth was numb, and blood was constantly oozing out.

"I...I..." Zhang Mingyang tried to say something, but he had no teeth, so his speech was slurred, and with the blood, he couldn't hear what he was saying at all.

Gu Yu looked at Zhang Mingyang, moved his hand, and two student cards appeared in his hand. Then he kicked Zhang Mingyang in the waist, and Zhang Mingyang flew out like a cannonball.

Everyone stared in disbelief at the scene before them. What had happened? The leader of the White Tiger Sect had been kicked away like trash.

Then everyone's eyes turned to Gu Yu. Who is this person? He was able to defeat an eighth-grade grandmaster so easily. His strength and previous aura suggest he must be at least a twelfth-grade grandmaster. Although there are quite a few twelfth-grade grandmasters among the new and old students of the Dragon Division, there aren't many. Everyone knows almost everyone, but it seems like Gu Yu isn't one of them.

Ignoring everyone's surprise, Gu Yu walked over to the Brotherhood member who had been bullied by Zhang Mingyang and returned the student card that Zhang Mingyang had taken from him.

This startled the man. He looked at Gu Yu with a strange, puzzled, and confused expression.

"Take your card! Go and work hard to improve your strength. Only with strong fists can you protect yourself and your resources." Gu Yu said to the man.

"Thank you." The man suddenly said gratefully to Gu Yu. Nowadays, the Dragon Clan is full of bullying the weak, and such things happen all the time between gangs, and even within gangs themselves.
