Simulated Environment Training Ground

Simulated Environment Training Ground. "It's fine, we're not late yet."

Quan Yi comforted her softly.

Only then did Huo Wu let out a long breath. "Phew~, that's good."

As she spoke, she began tidying her messy hair and clothes.

Once she finished, she smiled at Quan Yi. "Then let's go."

"Mm."

The two walked side by side along the road to the Simulated Environment Training Ground. There were more people coming and going on this road than elsewhere.

Because of that, as the two walked together, passersby often stopped to look.

It was no wonder. Both of them had excellent figures and looks, and walking together, they were like a golden boy and jade girl, with an indescribable sense of being well matched.

It was just that the boy's White Short-Sleeve and Black Shorts rather spoiled the view.

Quan Yi felt a little ashamed too.

Quan Yi could tell Huo Wu had put a lot of thought into dressing up. He lowered his head and glanced at his own clothes, shaking his head inwardly.

Fortunately, Huo Wu did not seem to mind.

Quan Yi watched Huo Wu's expression. She looked very happy, with no sign of caring at all.

Moreover, Quan Yi also noticed that Huo Wu seemed to have specially taken a bath. Walking beside her, he could smell a clean, refreshing scent.

"Hey, Quan Yi, do you know how our academy's Simulated Environment Training Ground came about?" Huo Wu suddenly asked.

Quan Yi replied, "I only know it's a branch of the Flame Vein split off from Blazing Fire Academy. How did it come about? Wasn't it formed naturally?"

"Hmph, hmph!" Seeing that Quan Yi did not know, Huo Wu laughed proudly. Then, somewhat smugly, she began explaining information about the Simulated Cultivation Environment.

"I'll tell you. The Flame Vein at the Primary Academy wasn't formed naturally. It was man-made. Several powerful soul masters joined forces to open up an underground passage and divert the Flame Vein here."

Quan Yi had not expected this academy's Simulated Environment Training Ground to have such a secret. Quan Yi was once again shocked by the power of soul masters.

However, Quan Yi did not quite understand.

"Was it necessary to go to so much trouble for a Junior Soul Master Academy?" Quan Yi asked Huo Wu.

"Of course it was necessary. A long time ago, this academy wasn't an affiliated academy of Blazing Fire Academy. But because of Blazing Fire Academy's existence, this Primary Academy slowly became an affiliated academy of Blazing Fire Academy.

"Although it's only a Primary Academy, it actually already counts as an extension of Blazing Fire Academy. Most of its students will go to Blazing Fire Academy in the future.

"Blazing Fire Academy also realized this. In order to cultivate outstanding soul masters from a young age, they spared no effort in investing. The Flame Vein was also diverted here during that period."

Huo Wu spoke with ease and confidence, seeming extremely familiar with this information.

After listening to Huo Wu's explanation, Quan Yi also understood its origins.

"Huo Wu, you're amazing. This is information that isn't even in the guide," Quan Yi praised Huo Wu.

Hearing the praise, the corners of Huo Wu's mouth unconsciously lifted. "Haha, of course. If there's anything you don't know in the future, you can come ask me."

Seeing that Huo Wu seemed to really like praise, Quan Yi could not help joking, "All right, Teacher Huo Wu. If there's anything I don't understand in the future, this student will definitely come to you."

At that, Huo Wu immediately burst into laughter. She even patted Quan Yi on the shoulder and said, "Not bad, not bad. Leave it to Teacher."

The two chatted and laughed along the way, and Quan Yi and Huo Wu also gained a preliminary understanding of each other's personalities.

After walking for a long time, the two finally began to see a barren little hill. That was their destination.

At the end of the road was that small hill. There were no trees on the hill, only a passage leading underground.

The passage was dim, making it impossible to see what was inside. It was like a path to Hell, constantly devouring the pedestrians on the road.

There were many students on the road. They entered the passage one after another, and the passage was like a bottomless pit, showing no sign of being filled at all.

The students who had still been talking began to quiet down of their own accord. Quan Yi and Huo Wu also consciously closed their mouths and started observing.

What surprised Quan Yi the most was the number of people. Aside from in the Dining Hall, Quan Yi had never seen so many people gathered together.

Usually, he could not even see a single person at the Training Ground. Quan Yi had thought they were all rather lazy, but it turned out they had all come here.

Huo Wu was also affected by this strange atmosphere, her body unconsciously moving closer to Quan Yi.

There was a notice board at the entrance of the cave entrance, with precautions written on it. The two stopped to read.

Because this was a cultivation place, loud conversations were strictly forbidden here, to avoid disturbing other students.

This passage led straight underground, and the deepest point was the Flame Vein. The deeper one went, the higher the temperature one would feel. The higher the temperature, the better the cultivation effect. Students could choose a suitable position according to their own endurance.

Lastly, if there were any special circumstances, they could notify the Patrol Teacher inside the passage, and the teacher would help solve the problem.

That was roughly the content. After Quan Yi carefully read through it, he turned to look at Huo Wu. Huo Wu had also finished reading. The two looked at each other and nodded, then walked into the passage.

Quan Yi had originally thought the inside of the tunnel would be very dark, but in fact, everything underground was clearly visible. Lamps hung on both sides of the tunnel, and flames illuminated the entire passage.

As they went deeper, Quan Yi slowly began to feel the heat coming from the depths of the passage.

Moreover, temperature markers were carved on the walls.

Because this was still only the entrance, it was just forty degrees.

This little bit of heat was not enough to trouble Quan Yi and Huo Wu yet, and the two quickly walked deeper.

As they went deeper, Quan Yi could see cave entrances in the walls on both sides. Signs hung outside them; some read Occupied, while others read Vacant.

These were probably the students' personal cultivation spaces.

Both entire rows were lined with these cave entrances.

There were fewer and fewer people ahead of Quan Yi and Huo Wu, and the temperature was getting higher and higher. Sweat began to bead on Quan Yi's and Huo Wu's foreheads.

It was like walking into a sauna; the farther down they went, the hotter it became. The current temperature had already exceeded sixty degrees.

This was already close to the limit an ordinary person could endure.

Many students were stopped at this point as well and began entering the nearby cave entrances to cultivate.

But this level of heat was nothing to Quan Yi and Huo Wu, who had already entered the Soul Master Realm.

They began moving deeper.

Seventy degrees. Sweat began pouring from their entire bodies, but their condition was still all right.

Quan Yi's white shirt was already soaked through, clinging tightly to his chest, and through the fabric, his pectorals could be seen.

Huo Wu was the same. Her hair was damp with sweat, and her clothes were soaked through too, making her look somewhat disheveled.

It was Huo Wu's first time as well, so she had not paid attention to the matter of clothing.

Huo Wu glanced at Quan Yi's outfit and admired his foresight. Inwardly, she also made up her mind to prepare short sleeves and shorts like his.

What she had not expected was that Quan Yi actually only owned short sleeves and shorts.

Eighty degrees. This was already nearing Huo Wu's limit. Huo Wu tugged at the hem of Quan Yi's clothes, indicating that she could not go on.

Although Quan Yi could still go deeper, he could cultivate for a longer time here. After weighing it up, Quan Yi also decided to cultivate here.

"We'll choose this place, then. Today, we're only here to get a feel for it, so there's no need to stay too long. Let's cultivate for one hour."

After Quan Yi and Huo Wu agreed on the time, they each began entering a cave entrance to experience cultivating in the Simulated Environment.

Before going in, neither of them forgot to flip the sign, and then they closed the door.
