Chapter 86: Soul World
Translator: Dragon Boat Translation Editor: Dragon Boat Translation
Back in the dorm, Lan Xuanyu’s head was filled with all sorts of knowledge taught by the teacher. With such a wealth of knowledge, it was like opening a new door for him.
Just like what the teacher mentioned, the higher one’s Spirit Power, the higher one’s power of understanding would be, so it was much easier for him to digest and absorb all this knowledge. Therefore, even though there was a lot of information, Lan Xuanyu was still able to understand it. Especially because Mu Zhongtian felt very guilty, he gave him preferential treatment by giving him private lessons which were very detailed. He answered all sorts of questions he had and allowed him to benefit a lot from it.
Qian Lei and Liu Feng were both in the dormitory. Liu Feng was meditating while Qian Lei was messing around with his mecha model.
“You’re back. You took quite a while, why was the teacher looking for you?” Qian Lei asked out of curiosity.
Lan Xuanyu laughed. “I joined two months later so the teacher wanted to give me extra classes. What time are we going to eat?”
“You’re hungry again? I saw that you ate the most this afternoon.” Qian Lei was shocked.
Lan Xuanyu smiled bitterly. “I ate less because of that sparring with Jin Xiang, I wasn’t full at all!”
“Although the food expenses in our Elite Junior Class is fixed, the way you eat will make others jealous! But with you joining, we finally see hope and our Dorm 333 will no longer be in the last place.” Qian Lei was speechless.
“It’s hard to say, your unreliable spirit doesn’t change much. With only the both of us, what can we do?” Liu Feng, who was meditating on the bunk, opened his eyes and said in disdain.
“Oh please, how much stronger are you? You can’t even control how fast you go, you either slip up or labor in vain. At least I have a chance of summoning a formidable spirit beast, but what about you? If you go one on one with the class, how many can you defeat?”
Liu Feng’s lips twitched a little. “I’m only lacking a little training and have a weaker attack, right? But if we’re talking about speed, I’m top in class.”
“My Spiritual Power is number one eh!” Qian Lei said.
“Alright, alright, stop fighting. Everyone just has to make concerted efforts and work together.” Things were getting a bit heated between these two so Lan Xuanyu quickly became the mediator.
Liu Feng jumped off the bed. “There’s still some time before we eat, let’s go to the field to train and get familiar with each other’s fighting style so it’ll be easier to work together next time.”
“Alright!” Lan Xuanyu was a little hungry but he was quite eager to see how great his roommates could fight. Everyone has to work together next time, after all.
However, he was dumbfounded when he got to the field. It wasn’t like the spacious training ground or a fighting ring that he imagined. The field wasn’t very big, it was just slightly bigger than their classroom and the simulation pods that were still vivid in his memory were lined up neatly there. There weren’t too many or too little, just 30 of them.
‘Simulation pods…’
This thing had left a deep impression on Lan Xuanyu! It was impossible to say that it didn’t leave a shadow in his heart. But thankfully, he was still young and didn’t overthink.
“Are we going to train in the simulation pods?” Lan Xuanyu asked Liu Feng with a perturbed expression.
Qian Lei fought to answer, “Of course, other schools don’t have such luxury for junior students. The simulation pods are only for the students at the intermediate level and above, and they even have to pay more to use it. Our Elite Junior Class is different. The simulation pod is very safe and convenient, it’s amazing!”
He and Liu Feng obviously didn’t know what happened to Lan Xuanyu in the simulation pod.
“This is your first time so you will have to register first. Your simulation pod has been empty for a long time. Let’s go,” Liu Feng said.
The registration was very easy. After verifying that he was in the Elite Junior Class, Lan Xuanyu had his very own simulation pod. That’s right, it belonged to him and only he can use it.
Every simulation pod in the field belonged to a student and it was equipped with detailed recording instruments to keep track of their usage.
There was a teacher-in-charge at all times and the students in the Elite Junior Class could use the simulation pod any time. This was one of their special treatment. In order to groom this batch of elite students, Heaven Luo Academy had invested a lot of their resources.
During the Initialization, it wasn’t much different from the simulation pod that Lan Xuanyu had used before. But compared to the curiosity he felt before, Lan Xuanyu was more nervous now.
“Connect, connect, Xuanyu, do you copy?” Suddenly, Qian Lei’s voice resounded by his ear. His pitch-black surroundings also lit up and indicated that Qian Lei was connected.
In the next moment, Liu Feng also got himself connected and there was a prompt that resounded, “The three-people team is connected. Access granted.”
The light flickered and Lan Xuanyu felt very light before he appeared at another place. Everything appeared so real but it wasn’t the like forest that he was in previously, it was a town instead.
The streets were bustling with activity and it didn’t seem any different from reality. The only difference was that the people here were dressed very quaintly and it had an antique style to it, unlike Heaven Luo City which was a steel forest.
“Pa” There was a smack on Lan Xuanyu’s shoulder and he jumped. When he turned around, Liu Feng and Qian Lei were behind him and were looking at him weirdly; Liu Feng still managed to hold it in but Qian Lei simply burst out laughing uncontrollably.
“What are you guys laughing at?” Lan Xuanyu asked suspiciously.
Qian Lei pointed at Lan Xuanyu’s body. He looked down and immediately clamped his legs together subconsciously. He was only wearing a pair of white shorts and he didn’t have any other clothing on.
“This…”
“Hahaha,” Qian Lei laughed unsympathetically.
Liu Feng’s lips twitched. He lifted his hand and tossed a robe over to Lan Xuanyu. “Quick, put this on, you’re a newcomer so everything is in a blank slate. You don’t have anything.”
Lan Xuanyu wore his very ordinary and ancient robe and with an annoyed tone, he said, “Why didn’t you guys say so earlier. Why is the world like this in this simulation pod?”
Qian Lei tried his best to stop laughing and said, “Seems like this is really your first time! This place is called the Soul World, it is the Federation’s biggest simulated world and is under the direct control of the head of the Federation. Usually, the major planets operate separately and at a specific period every year, all of the planets in Soul World will be connected. It is the simulated world that is closest to reality and could even be said to be the second life of the modern world. Of course, not everyone is allowed to enter. Simply put, it is a world for Spirit Masters and ordinary folks would not be able to enter because whether it was Spiritual Power or physical requirements, it would be very dangerous for them.”
‘A world for Spirit Masters? Soul World?’
