Lu Yuan planned to head to Shencheng Supernatural University as soon as his application was officially approved.
The sooner he entered university, the sooner he could access resources and grow faster.
Every minute was precious. He couldn't afford to waste any time.
After Ling Weiwei left, Lu Yuan didn't linger either. He slung his little backpack over his shoulders and hurried out of school.
In this world, schools didn't have evening study sessions.
Students generally spent their evenings cultivating on their own.
A little over ten minutes later, he rode his bicycle up to a building.
He looked up.
Unlike the small houses around it, this building was remarkably tall and imposing!
It had a distinctly modern, high-tech design.
The automatic doors kept opening and closing as crowds streamed in and out.
And right in front of the building, five shining golden characters read "Extreme Supernatural Ability Hall"!
Lu Yuan knew that Extreme Supernatural Ability Halls were spread all across the country, since their founder was a ninth-rank powerhouse.
It was much like a chain store in his previous life.
Aside from Extreme Supernatural Ability Hall, there was one other supernatural ability hall that could rival it.
It was called Thunder Supernatural Ability Hall, and its founder was also a ninth-rank powerhouse.
The supernatural ability halls offered both free and paid services.
Simple tests of blood vitality and mental strength, as well as booking an ordinary room and the like, were all free. Sometimes, though, people had to wait in line.
Purchasing weapons or potions, taking lessons, and booking special cultivation rooms were all paid services.
After taking in the imposing exterior of Extreme Supernatural Ability Hall, Lu Yuan entered through the automatic doors.
Extreme Supernatural Ability Hall had four floors.
The first floor was the reception area, the second was for free services, the third for paid services, and the fourth was the office area.
Each floor covered tens of thousands of square meters!
Since Extreme Supernatural Ability Hall had devoted an entire floor to reception, Lu Yuan hardly had to wait in line despite the crowds. He reached the counter with ease.
"Hello! What service can I help you with?"
The receptionist asked warmly, handing Lu Yuan a price list.
"I'd like to book an E-grade cultivation room, please!"
Lu Yuan took the price list and thought for a moment before replying.
He knew that E-grade cultivation rooms were the lowest-tier rooms at Extreme Supernatural Ability Hall.
Since he had only just awakened his supernatural ability, an E-grade room was just right for him.
"Four hundred Blue Star coins per hour. Any fraction of an hour will be charged as a full hour."
The receptionist reminded him, then handed Lu Yuan a room card with his information entered.
It couldn't really be considered a waste of money. You got what you paid for.
After all, his family wasn't well-off, so he'd previously only been able to practice in ordinary rooms.
Now that 1.5 million Blue Star coins were about to come in, he naturally wasn't going to scrimp on himself.
The room card had a virtual display that showed the assigned room number.
303.
That was the E-grade cultivation room Lu Yuan had just booked.
He swiped the card, and the door to Room 303 opened at once.
The concentration of Primal Energy in the cultivation room was higher, which could improve the efficiency of cultivation.
Once inside, Lu Yuan looked around.
A metal rack stood along the edge of the room, holding all kinds of weapons.
There were spears, broadswords, longswords, and more...
Lu Yuan took a black spear from the rack.
He practiced his spear technique a few times.
"My movements are still a little stiff and awkward."
"But fortunately, I have the system. It's time to put my Evolution Points to use!"
Lu Yuan opened his panel and pressed the only "↑" on it.
[Evolution Points -100!] [Spear technique (Beginner) → Spear technique (Intermediate)]
After spending the Evolution Points, Lu Yuan felt all kinds of memories of spear practice pouring into his mind, as if he really had practiced day and night.
When he came to his senses, he realized that he had gained much better control over the black spear in his hands!
"So this is the power of the system? Not bad. I like it."
Lu Yuan murmured to himself.
Incidentally, there were six levels of skill proficiency, from lowest to highest: Beginner, Intermediate, Advanced, Master, Supreme-grade, and Perfected Level.
After raising his spear technique to Intermediate proficiency, Lu Yuan lifted the spear again and thrust it sharply several times!
"Refreshing!"
Lu Yuan nodded in satisfaction.
Now, it was time to try out his supernatural ability!
"Ice Snow Crown!"
Lu Yuan lowered his head and murmured the words.
In an instant, an Ice Snow Crown appeared above his head, lending him a chilling air.
The Primal Energy in his body surged to life, and his eyes gradually turned ice blue!
Endless snowflakes swirled around him, but Lu Yuan felt no chill at all. Instead, he felt quite warm.
Wisps of cold air rose from the black spear. This was what happened when Primal Energy was channeled into a weapon!
The spearhead was completely encased in ice.
In this state, Lu Yuan practiced his spear technique for another half hour.
"Just half an hour of practice, and the Primal Energy in my body has already dropped by half! I've only just awakened my supernatural ability, so the amount of Primal Energy in my body is still a little low..."
