It was vacation time. The entire Shendu Martial University stood empty and deserted. Jiang Yan had no mind to admire the riot of blooming flowers by the roadside, following only the location of the Spirit Gathering Room displayed on his Student Card screen.
The Spirit Gathering Rooms had been built beside Shendu Martial University's gymnasium.
As Jiang Yan entered the area, he discovered that even during vacation, quite a few people were still coming and going from the rooms, taking advantage of the break to cultivate Qi Absorption.
Along the way, many people recognized him. Jiang Yan received all manner of scrutinizing gazes.
Yet no one surrounded him as people outside would have. A nod of acknowledgment was all it took to count as a greeting.
Jiang Yan was happy for the peace and quiet. Imitating the others, he placed his Student Card against the card reader by the door.
The black screen lit up.
Card successfully scanned. Student Jiang Yan, your remaining usage time is: +∞. Please leave the Spirit Gathering Room within the designated time. Otherwise, the monitoring system will take compulsory measures.
Jiang Yan smiled. Shendu Martial University's efficiency was quite high; they had basically made good on everything they had promised.
With this much time, it wouldn't matter even if I lived in here, right? Jiang Yan thought as he stepped into the Spirit Gathering Room.
The room was not large, only some twenty or thirty square meters. Unlike traditional buildings, its surroundings were not constructed from reinforced concrete. Everything was a monotonous silver, brimming with a metallic texture.
A silver-white cushion sat in the center of the room.
Jiang Yan dropped onto it.
Ding!
A holographic screen projected itself before him.
An electronic female voice sounded.
``` Facial recognition in progress...
