The Supreme Void Dao Realm, [Divine Capital Changluo].
Whoosh!
Chen Qingyu's sixteen-year-old body abruptly appeared without a sound.
He quickly swept his gaze around, found that no one was paying attention to him, and immediately breathed a sigh of relief, hurrying away from the War God Tower.
But soon:
Before he had taken more than a few steps, someone suddenly pointed at him in delighted surprise:
"Look! It's Chen Shaojun!"
The moment those words rang out, the entire street erupted, and the crowd swarmed toward him:
"Chen Shaojun? It's really Chen Shaojun?"
"Where's my dear Brother Shaojun?"
"It really is Chen Shaojun! I saw him while watching a battle in the [War God Tower]."
"Shaojun, please wait! I am-"
Chen Qingyu's expression changed. With a thought, an auspicious cloud rose beneath his feet, and he abruptly shot into the air.
"What..."
The crowd surging toward him below was instantly dumbfounded.
"Phew, that was terrifying..."
Chen Qingyu let out a breath, then drove his auspicious cloud swiftly toward the [Martial Practice Hall].
Flying on a cloud caused such a commotion that it naturally drew countless exclamations and a great stir along the way, with large numbers of people chasing after his auspicious cloud.
At this moment:
Almost everyone in [Divine Capital Changluo] knew that one of Chen Shaojun's signature techniques was flying on a cloud. It was unmistakable; no one else in the Divine Capital could do it.
Whoosh!
Chen Qingyu flew on his cloud and arrived before the Martial Practice Hall a short while later.
He quickly lowered his cloud and darted into the Martial Practice Hall before the people below could react.
At once-
The world fell quiet.
"It really isn't easy to come out for a visit."
Chen Qingyu sighed inwardly. Only then did he have time to examine his surroundings.
Looking around, he found himself in a peculiar space a hundred zhang on each side. The floor was black, while the ceiling and walls were white, engraved with intricate, profound runes.
"Welcome to the [Martial Practice Hall]!"
An icy, mechanical voice sounded at just the right moment:
"In the Martial Practice Hall, the martial techniques you practice can be automatically corrected, their errors rectified, and their execution adjusted."
"At the same time, according to your wishes or with the Primal Spirit's assistance, you can select the most suitable opponent to fight you and help you improve your martial techniques!"
"The [Martial Practice Hall] charges by time, at ten Great Void Points per two-hour period!"
Chen Qingyu raised his eyebrows and said in surprise:
"Ten points? That's not much..."
After clearing the fourth floor of the War God Tower, he received a hundred points every month.
If he spread them out evenly, he could come once every three days.
That interval seemed quite short, but the [Martial Practice Hall] was equivalent to receiving guidance from the most accomplished teacher. Coming once every three days would at least double his efficiency.
Of course, if he wanted to spend every day inside, he would need at least several thousand points. That was not something an ordinary martial artist could afford.
"What if I want to activate the time acceleration function?"
Chen Qingyu voiced his question.
"Activating the time acceleration function will progressively increase the charge according to the acceleration rate!"
"At twice the speed, fifty points per two-hour period; at three times the speed, eighty points per two-hour period."
"At four times the speed, one hundred and twenty points per two-hour period; at five times the speed, two hundred points per two-hour period..."
"In [Blood Sea Heaven], the maximum supported acceleration is tenfold, at two thousand Great Void Points per two-hour period!"
After listening, Chen Qingyu began calculating inwardly.
He could cultivate automatically. Apart from time spent eating and sleeping, he could spend practically all his time in the [Martial Practice Hall], which meant at least sixteen hours.
At the maximum tenfold acceleration, that would cost sixteen thousand Great Void Points a day.
And through the rewards for challenging the [War God Tower], along with admission fees from two spectator events, he had already accumulated over two hundred thousand Great Void Points.
That's enough!
Chen Qingyu relaxed inwardly, and a slight smile appeared on his face.
His current Great Void Points could sustain tenfold acceleration for at least a dozen days.
And a dozen days later, he would already have advanced to the Golden Bridge Realm.
"Let's begin!"
He declared in a clear voice:
"I want to activate tenfold time acceleration!"
The instant his words fell:
The profound runes on the walls all around him began flashing intensely.
Even the surrounding space seemed to start distorting slightly.
An inexplicable force descended into Chen Qingyu's body, instantly making him feel as though everything around him had slowed down...
No! It hasn't slowed down. I've sped up!
Understanding suddenly dawned on Chen Qingyu.
His body in the Supreme Void Dao Realm was a manifestation of a strand of consciousness. Simply accelerating his thoughts would produce an effect similar to accelerating time.
This was more than tens of millions of times easier than truly accelerating time in the real world!
And everything in the Supreme Void Dao Realm was controlled by the Primal Spirit of the Supreme Void Eternal World Mirror, so it could naturally keep pace with his accelerated thoughts with ease.
So this is the truth behind the [Martial Practice Hall]'s time acceleration.
Thoughts surged through Chen Qingyu's mind.
He wasted no time, immediately stretching out his body and beginning to practice the "Great Radiance Heaven-Suppressing Fist," move by move.
After he finished a round of the fist technique:
Swish!
An image formed before him, showing precisely how he had just practiced the fist technique.
"You need to lean back slightly here... your breathing became somewhat irregular when exerting True Qi... your footwork was slightly slow..."
Eight errors in total were pointed out one by one.
Then the image performed the "Great Radiance Heaven-Suppressing Fist" again, its execution so precise that it could be called flawless.
How powerful!
Watching this scene, Chen Qingyu fell into thought:
Over these hundred-odd thousand years, countless people from all the great sacred lands, including those of other races, have entered the Supreme Void Dao Realm.
Everything these people did in the Supreme Void Dao Realm-fighting, practicing martial techniques, challenging the [War God Tower], and so on-was recorded by the Supreme Void Eternal World Mirror.
That makes it an enormous database... no wonder the [Martial Practice Hall] is an unsurpassed treasure land for practicing martial techniques.
The martial technique records stored here alone probably encompass ninety-nine percent of all martial techniques and secret arts on the Desolate Continent.
He immediately focused his mind and began practicing the "Great Radiance Heaven-Suppressing Fist" again under the Primal Spirit's guidance.
Before long:
He experienced the most powerful aspect of the [Martial Practice Hall].
After practicing over and over, he could configure an opponent who had already reached the beginner level in the "Great Radiance Heaven-Suppressing Fist."
Through sparring and fighting, he could easily grasp the subtleties and flaws in how this fist technique exerted force, circulated True Qi, and regulated breathing.
Together with the Primal Spirit's automatic corrections, his rate of improvement was simply unimaginably fast.
Not to mention-
All of this was taking place under tenfold time acceleration!
Boom, boom...
Within the Martial Practice Hall, those low, whistling rumbles sounded once more.
Chen Qingyu repeatedly practiced and cultivated the three martial techniques-the "Great Radiance Heaven-Suppressing Fist," the "Great Radiance Body Refining Method," and the "Celestial Star Attraction Method"-honing them through sparring.
His mastery of martial techniques began soaring as though riding a rocket. In just a few two-hour periods, he had progressed by leaps and bounds.
Time continued to trickle by...
