Shen Heng left the Origin Power Chamber.
He ate something before the cafeteria closed and then returned to his dormitory.
Inside the dormitory, Zhou Xuan was taking the offerings out of his bag and placing them on the altar.
Seeing Shen Heng return, he turned his head with some surprise.
Why are you so late today?
"Today we moved the Body Tempering process from inside the Origin Power Chamber to outside. This way, we can use the Origin Power Chamber for longer. If you get access to an advanced Origin Power Chamber later, you can try doing this too," Shen Heng explained.
"I see. Looks like I'll have to try harder next time." Zhou Xuan said as he placed things on the altar.
"You've been using these things for a long time, haven't you? Aren't you going to change them?" Shen Heng glanced at the two old items on the altar.
"Sigh, I'd like to too, but there's nowhere to buy any. I'll just have to make do! Anyway, I'm going to burn some incense!" Zhou Xuan said, taking out a few sticks of incense and lighting them.
Shen Heng smiled and went back to his bed.
He took out his phone and opened the group chat of the Linhai City Supervision Bureau.
Shen Heng: How has everyone been lately?
Shortly after the message was sent, a reply was received in the group.
Wu Cheng: The third day of missing Shen Heng
Han Ling: +1
Wei Leyang: +1
Shen Heng: What's wrong?
Han Ling: [Panda sighing. jpg]
Shen Heng:?
Wu Cheng: People are always like this; they don't cherish what they have until they lose it and then they regret it.
Three question marks appeared above Shen Heng's head.
Just as he was about to ask, another message appeared in the group chat.
Le Gu Nan: I encountered a quest a couple of days ago, and it took me some time to find the Calamity Beast.
Shen Heng: Was the final mission successfully completed?
Le Gu Nan: Yeah, nothing went wrong.
Shen Heng: That's good.
Wei Leyang: By the way, how are you doing at the training camp?
Shen Heng: This isn't just some random training; headquarters specifically found three individuals with suitable abilities...
The following day, night fell.
Of the six Origin Power rooms, only two had red lights on.
One room belonged to Cao Mingyu, and Shen Heng told him about the Body Tempering process. As for the other room, no one knew whose it was; it was probably the last room that arrived.
At this moment, Shen Heng was standing at the door of a Origin Power Room with a green light.
He practiced the Five Animal Fist while thinking about tomorrow's combat simulation training.
He didn't simply assume that just because he got a spot last time, he would definitely get one next time.
It's not that I distrust the proven ability of tunnels to amplify sound waves, but rather the uncertainty of the environment.
The environments of the two live-fire simulations were not exactly the same.
For the first time, there was a blood moon in the sky, and the city streets were even more dilapidated.
The second time, the sky only turned a golden yellow because of the twilight, and although the streets were dilapidated, they were not yet in ruins.
In other words, is the environment refreshed every time?
If that's the case, then if a city without a subway station appears, it will be difficult to achieve the same effect as last time.
Let's find the tunnel first, and then go for practical training with the Calamity Beast.
As Shen Heng was planning his actions for tomorrow, the door to the last Origin Power room on his side suddenly opened.
A figure with a low ponytail walked out of the Origin Power Room.
His dark eyes paused slightly when he saw the figure practicing boxing in the corridor.
They looked at each other for a moment, then went about their own business.
Shen Heng continued practicing his Five Animal Fist, while Xiao Xiangtong walked towards his location, which was the direction of the stairs.
The sound of footsteps echoed in the corridor.
Just as the two were about to pass each other, Xiao Xiangtong suddenly stopped.
She turned to look at Shen Heng.
"May I ask what you're doing?"
Shen Heng paused in his actions, glanced at Xiao Xiangtong, and instead of answering directly, explained why he was outside.
"Spending time Body Tempering in the Origin Power Chamber is too troublesome, so I practice outside and go back in to practice breathing exercises after my Origin Power is depleted."
Is that really how it is...? Xiao Xiangtong nodded.
"I understand, thank you!"
"Need not."
Xiao Xiangtong turned and took two steps, then seemed to remember something and turned back to ask:
"By the way, can I do this again tomorrow?"
"Of course, this is just a way to save time; I haven't applied for a patent," Shen Heng replied.
"Okay, thank you." Xiao Xiangtong thanked her sincerely again.
This time she didn't hesitate and walked straight out of Shen Heng's sight.
Shen Heng also withdrew his gaze and resumed practicing his Five Animal Fist.
The next day.
Shen Heng stood on the soft mud, his pupils reflecting a vibrant green.
What appeared before him was not the tall buildings he had seen before, but towering trees.
Shen Heng turned his head and looked around at the surrounding trees.
"A forest environment? Is this meant to train our combat capabilities in different environments?"
Shen Heng's brows furrowed slightly. He could understand the instructor's thoughts, but this environment was not as welcoming to him as the city he had been in before.
In the forest, his abilities weren't weakened, but he probably wouldn't be able to snag a spot to use the Origin Power Chamber like before.
After all, forests don't amplify sound waves.
"Then let's treat it as a normal combat simulation training!" Shen Heng murmured.
He wasn't particularly disappointed, probably because his ability was only D-Class, while the lowest level of others was B-Class.
Logically speaking, the spots should belong to them, not to them.
but...
"It really comes down to having to be strong yourself; relying on external factors is unreliable!"
Shen Heng slowly drew his long sword, checked the direction he heard, and then quickly ran in that direction.
Simulation ended.
As Shen Heng had predicted, he only achieved 13th place.
However, Fang Ran and Zhou Xuan managed to snatch the two spots in the live-fire simulation training.
Fang Ran's success was within Shen Heng's expectations.
After all, the forest was practically his home.
But Zhou Xuan's words...
According to him, the Earth God hates concrete, asphalt, and the like in the city to the extreme.
Three more days have passed in the blink of an eye.
This combat simulation training was conducted on an ice field, and the two selected participants were a man and a woman.
Shen Heng wasn't familiar with them; he only knew one was named Yu Zeyang and the other Wu Shiyao.
That afternoon, Chang Lei found Yan Yu had just finished teaching everyone in the training camp.
Yan Yu was half-reclining in a chair, wearing a device that looked like goggles on his head and another device on his hands. He occasionally raised his hands and made gestures in the air.
" Professor Yan, there's something I need to report to you," Chang Lei said, standing beside Yan Yu.
"Yes, Instructor Chang, what is it?" Yan Yu replied, but remained in that posture.
"We did a routine check today and found that the advanced Origin Power chamber is consuming Origin Crystal faster than we expected," Chang Lei explained briefly.
