Chapter 71 The Effects of the Spirit Forging Tower; I Almost Got Beaten Up

Inside the spacious Spirit Forging Tower, looking down, there are cultivation rooms of varying sizes arranged in a very regular pattern all around. However, most of these cultivation rooms are occupied by students, and student identity tokens are inserted outside the cultivation rooms.

The cultivation room on the second floor where Qin Xin is now is half the size of the one on the first floor, but the spiritual energy tides here are more pronounced, allowing Qin Xin to clearly feel the surge of true energy within his martial core.

However, the prices of each training room on the second floor vary. The most expensive costs 20 points per day, while the cheapest only costs 10 points per day. Of course, the higher the point cost, the closer the room is to the center of the tower.

Seeing that the training rooms were already full, Qin Xin walked into the third floor without hesitation.

As soon as Qin Xin stepped into the third level of the Spirit Forging Tower, he suddenly stopped, not daring to move his feet for a moment. After catching his breath, he finally took a step.

"I'll start cultivating here."

Qin Xin felt the pressure from the surge of spiritual energy; this was exactly what he needed. Looking around, he saw several empty cultivation rooms and randomly chose one that cost forty points per day, then went inside.

The student's identity token is placed in the slot of the training room, forming an energy shield outside the training room that isolates all external sounds. It can only be opened from the inside, which also prevents students from outside from suddenly barging in while the student is training.

The cultivation room was very elegant, decorated with some flowers, and occasionally a faint fragrance would waft into the air, making people feel refreshed and relaxed.

Qin Xin didn't care about that. He took out the Heavenly Phoenix Futon, sat cross-legged in it, and slowly released his suppression of the spiritual energy tide.

Since Qin Xin obtained this Heavenly Phoenix Futon, he has been able to feel the effect of focusing his mind every time he sits on it to cultivate. Moreover, under the automatic operation of the Supreme Divine Evolution Technique, energy is constantly injected into the space of the futon, pouring into the ancient Heavenly Phoenix Egg.

As Qin Xin felt his internal energy being refined, he could clearly feel his spiritual power increasing little by little. Moreover, the tide of spiritual power constantly pounded against his soul, making Qin Xin's soul even stronger and his control over his spiritual sense more effortless. With a slight thought, his spiritual sense could instantly be injected into objects, and all the structure and weaknesses of the objects could be completely explored.

This change instantly energized Qin Xin, and he became so engrossed in his cultivation that he forgot about the time.

At this moment, a number of students had gathered on the third floor of the Spirit Forging Tower. Of course, these were all senior students from the outer academy.

"Senior Qingqi, what's wrong?"

Wearing a fiery red dress, Mu Shuilan walked over with her legs barely concealed, as if she were watching a spectacle.

"Oh, someone actually dared to occupy Senior Sister's training room, they're really bold," Mu Shuilan added fuel to the fire.

Behind the girl known as Senior Qingqi were several male students, all of whom appeared to be very strong. However, they were all following behind her, their faces filled with admiration as they looked at Qingqi in her simple white dress.

"Alright, Shui Lan, don't add fuel to the fire."

A man carrying a long sword, with a strong, prominent eyebrow, and a somewhat robust appearance stepped forward.

Upon seeing the man before her, Qingqi's admirers behind her quickly averted their gazes and dared not get too close.

“Jiang Xinghai, I, Mu Shuilan, am no less attractive than Zhan Qingqi in terms of figure or appearance. I am much easier to pursue than her. Why don’t you change your target?”

Mu Shuilan said it as if she were joking, but some of the older students watching from the sidelines were a little envious, because both Zhan Qingqi and Mu Shuilan were among the top ten beauties of Donghuang Academy.

Zhan Qingqi has a cold and aloof demeanor, giving off an icy beauty that arouses a desire to conquer her. Mu Shuilan, on the other hand, is quite fiery and has a changeable personality, making her difficult for most people to handle.

Zhan Qingqi was completely unconcerned about the discussions around her and didn't care at all. Having just returned from a mission outside the academy, she had intended to cultivate in the training room, but when she arrived, she found that her private training room had been occupied by someone else. Now, she was just standing guard at the door to see who was so bold.

At this moment, Qin Xin, whose cultivation was progressing smoothly, was completely unaware of the situation outside.

However, just as Qin Xin was feeling like he was opening up his fifth main meridian, the spiritual energy tide suddenly disappeared, forcing him to immediately stop cultivating.

"Sigh! If only I could cultivate for a few more days."

Qin Xin thought to himself, but he also knew that his points were almost used up, so he could only tidy up a bit, get up and take off his token.

After the energy shield in the training room dissipated, many martial artists stopped their training and left the training room just to catch a glimpse of the warrior's beautiful face.

"ah!"

Qin Xin took a step forward and suddenly bumped his head into something soft. A fragrant scent wafted to his nose, but a soft cry immediately followed.

"Qin Xin, it's you!"

Mu Shuilan, who was standing to the side, immediately recognized the person who came out of the training room as Qin Xin, who had run out of points.

Qin Xin was also taken aback by the scene before him. He hadn't expected so many people to gather outside his training room, and that they were all veteran students.

Looking at the aloof woman, Qin Xin felt a little embarrassed, because he had just bumped into her arms as soon as he came out, and at this moment, a blush appeared on Zhan Qingqi's face.

Before Zhan Qingqi could react, Jiang Xinghai, who was carrying a long sword, stepped forward. Seeing his beloved woman being taken advantage of by the young man in front of him, he was filled with rage.

"Leave Qingqi to me. Don't get your hands dirty," Jiang Xinghai said sinisterly.

Upon hearing the woman's name, Qin Xin immediately recalled the description of the ten beauties of the Eastern Wilderness Academy that Jin Yuanbao had told him. After taking another look at the woman's appearance, Qin Xin guessed Zhan Qingqi's identity.

"Senior Sister Zhan, this was my fault. I apologize if I offended you in any way."

Qin Xin ignored Jiang Xinghai, but he realized that the person seemed to be Zhan Qingqi, so it was normal for him to step in. However, since Qin Xin had inadvertently taken advantage of someone, he still chose to apologize.

"An apology? This isn't something an apology can solve!"

Jiang Xinghai persisted.

"What, you're done playing? You were the ones blocking the entrance to the training room, so you can't blame me for everything. How do you want to resolve this?"

Looking at Jiang Xinghai, who was shouting loudly, Qin Xin was somewhat displeased.

"unless……"

Before Jiang Xinghai could finish speaking, Qin Xin suddenly interrupted him.

“This has nothing to do with you. Let the person involved speak for themselves.”

Qin Xin retorted.

"Good, very good. You are Qin Xin, right? I'll remember you!"

Jiang Xinghai was speechless for a moment after being confronted by Qin Xin.

"This training room is for my exclusive use. You shouldn't go in there in the future."

Zhan Qingqi's voice was very cold.

"What? Your name isn't on the sign of this training room. You think you can just say you won't come in? Once I have enough points, I'll definitely come in."

Qin Xin hated this kind of seat-hogging behavior, so he naturally didn't give Zhan Qingqi any face.

"Why don't you give it a try?"

Zhan Qingqi's words were light and understated, yet they carried a chilling force. Though it was just a simple sentence, it struck Qin Xin like an icicle.

Just as Qin Xin was about to mobilize his true energy, an aged voice rang out.

"Fighting is strictly prohibited inside the Spirit Forging Tower; those who violate this rule will be permanently barred from entering!"

Upon hearing this, Zhan Qingqi also absorbed the chilling true energy, and was somewhat afraid of the voice.

"If they don't want to go in, they don't have to."

Qin Xin also knew the principle that women should not be messed with, so he quickly lowered his head and walked straight outside under everyone's gaze.

"Qin Xin, once you leave this Spirit Forging Tower, I will come to find you."

Jiang Xinghai suddenly said something ominously behind Qin Xin.

"Me too, I'll definitely go back to see what's going on."

Mu Shuilan immediately chimed in.

However, Qin Xin seemed not to hear, and his figure disappeared from the third floor in the blink of an eye.
