Soul Skill Training Ground, Dungeon Master Arena

Su Mu did not linger in the teleportation plaza.

After exiting the station, I hailed a taxi and headed towards the Tsinghua and Peking Universities Academy.

He had already done his research.

Tsinghua and Peking Universities Academy is located in the western suburbs of Capital, covering a vast area, almost equivalent to a small city.

It takes almost forty minutes to get there from the teleportation plaza by highway.

Su Mu sat in the back seat, watching the street scene flash by outside the window. The buildings in Capital were much taller than those in Rongcheng, the roads were wide, and the traffic was dense. In the distance, several skyscrapers could be seen piercing the clouds, their surfaces covered with runes that shone with a faint blue light.

He had his own reasons for choosing to go to Tsinghua and Peking Universities and Peking Universities first.

Only after entering the college and completing the enrollment procedures can one obtain the official status of a Tsinghua and Peking Universities student.

Only with this identity can one access core information related to professional dungeon masters, transfer the points earned during the college entrance examination to the university's points account, and enter the nest areas under the names of Tsinghua and Peking Universities.

What Su Mu urgently needed was the base material card of the White Elephant King.

The three brothers of Lion Camel Ridge: Green Lion King is already in place, Golden-Winged Great Peng King is in the process of joining, and White Elephant King is still waiting for him in the Tsinghua and Peking Universities instance.

When the three brothers are together, the overall strength of Lion Camel Ridge will undergo a qualitative change.

This matter cannot be delayed.

Forty minutes later, the taxi stopped in front of a huge school gate.

Su Mu got out of the car and looked up.

The school gate is supported by two huge stone pillars, which are covered with runes. Above the gate hangs a plaque with gold characters on a black background, which reads "Tsinghua and Peking Universities Academy".

The handwriting is vigorous and simple, conveying a profound sense of history.

The school gate was bustling with people coming and going.

Su Mu glanced at them briefly and counted at least several hundred people.

There were students carrying backpacks, tour guides holding flags, tourists taking photos, and several staff members in uniform maintaining order.

Just as Su Mu was about to find a place to go inside, a voice rang out from the side.

"Excuse me, are you a freshman?"

Su Mu turned his head.

A girl with a ponytail stood beside him, wearing a light blue volunteer vest with a badge pinned to her chest that read "Welcome Volunteer".

She was around twenty years old, with delicate features, and her eyes crinkled when she smiled, giving her a very warm and welcoming appearance.

"Hmm." Su Mu nodded.

The girl's gaze lingered on his face for a moment, then it clearly lit up.

She looked Su Mu up and down, her smile growing even wider than before.

"Come on, I'll take you to register. This way."

Su Mu thanked her and followed her into the school gate.

The campus was much quieter than outside.

Tall trees line both sides of the wide main road, their canopies blocking most of the sunlight and casting dappled shadows on the ground.

Occasionally, students would ride by on bicycles, their baskets filled with books and card holders.

The senior student seemed to love talking, introducing things as we walked.

As they passed a gray-white three-story building, she pointed and said, "This is the cafeteria. But the food here isn't as good as the second cafeteria. You should go to the second cafeteria next time; they have a wider variety of food, and it tastes better."

Su Mu nodded.

Passing by another huge cylindrical building, the senior student slowed her pace. "That's the teaching building. Looks big, right? There are many classrooms inside, but we don't actually have many classes. We spend a lot of time there practicing dungeons. The dungeon battle hall—that's a feature many universities don't even have."

Su Mu looked up and saw that the building's exterior walls were also engraved with runes, and students were constantly going in and out of the entrance.

After walking a little further, the number of people increased significantly.

A huge square building stood on the left side of the road, from which came various sounds of battle: the crisp clang of metal clashing, the dull thuds of impact, and the occasional exclamations and cheers.

Su Mu glanced at it curiously.

Following his gaze, the senior student smiled and introduced, "This is one of the most important places in the university... the Soul Skill Training Ground, and the place for dungeon master competitive combat."

She paused, her tone carrying a hint of the seriousness of someone with experience. "This arena for actual competition will be the easiest place for the school to earn points in the future."

However, as a freshman, it is not recommended to engage in competitive matches too early.

Although this place not only allows you to compete against players from various prestigious universities, but also to engage in remote competitive matchmaking with dungeon masters from all over the country later on, as a freshman, you will spend a long time matching within the school.

When you're not strong enough, some upperclassmen from other universities can easily gain points for you.

Su Mu nodded.

Simply put, this is a place where people can practice and exchange skills with each other.

However, he wasn't particularly interested in competing with others.

Currently, he doesn't lack points, after all, he still has several million points from the college entrance examination. On the contrary, Su Mu is quite interested in the soul skill training.

"Can soul skills also be trained?" he asked.

The senior student thought for a moment, then laughed, "Oh right, I almost forgot you're a freshman."

She slowed her pace and explained earnestly, "Normally, it's best to improve your Soul Skills in nests and among monsters, but that's in the early stages."

In the early stages, the upgrade of Soul Skills is usually linked to the number of times they are used.

However, as the level or grade of a soul skill becomes very high, increasing its level is not simply a matter of the number of times it is used. Instead, the source of its Momentum Points must be of the same rank, and in the later stages, it may even need to be higher than its own level to increase the level.

As the game progresses, the intelligence and other aspects of monster lairs increase significantly, making it increasingly difficult to fight monsters of higher levels.

Therefore, the training of Soul Skills will be placed here.

But this requires consuming training points.

She added, "Also, let me tell you, later on, whether it's your core cards or battle monster cards, if you want to become stronger, you'll need to train, and you'll need to spend points here to train."

This kind of training involves competing and sparring with other opponents.

Besides the venue fees that most people need, some people also add extras to these competitive matches. That's why I started by explaining why this is one of the important places to earn points.

As for the other place to earn points, it's in the mission lobby; you'll encounter that later.

Su Mu nodded without asking any further questions.

The other person was just a volunteer, responsible for taking me to register. Asking too many questions would be bothering them.

Moreover, for such basic questions, you can check them on the school's academic information forum after you register.

After.

The senior student led him forward, across a square, to a square administration building.

"We're here, this is it."
