Half an hour passed in a flash. As the indicator light suddenly went out, Li Qing suddenly felt a rich energy surge into the secret room from the ventilation holes on the wall.
Li Qing quickly sat cross-legged and entered a state of cultivation.
The effect of the simulated cultivation environment varies from person to person, and it mainly depends on the strength of the meridians. If the meridians are not strong enough, no matter how rich the energy is, it will be useless because your refining speed simply cannot keep up.
The higher the talent, the better the effect of the simulated cultivation environment.
For useless trash with poor talent, the natural energy from the outside world is enough; more is just a waste. The simulated cultivation environment is not prepared for trash.
Immersed in the rich energy of death and life attributes, Li Qing finally experienced the benefits of the simulated cultivation environment.
While in the simulated cultivation environment, Li Qing's cultivation speed was a full 20% faster. Don't underestimate this 20%; it is already enough to compensate for the gap between Li Qing and those with innate full Soul Power.
Perhaps it even exceeds that.
Without the simulated cultivation environment, someone with innate full Soul Power would at most have a cultivation speed equal to his current speed; it is absolutely impossible for them to surpass him without the simulated cultivation environment.
Shrek Academy, hehe!
Recruiting so many geniuses, isn't it purely misleading the younger generation? If Shrek Academy had a simulated cultivation environment, even without immortal herbs, Tang San and the others should be able to advance to Soul Supreme before the Soul Master Competition.
A select few with immortal herbs might even break through to the Soul King realm in one go.
However, in that case, there's something Li Qing doesn't quite understand. Dai Mubai wanting to slack off and Zhu Zhuqing having no choice is understandable, but what's going on with Ning Rongrong?
If he remembered correctly.
The reason Ning Rongrong knew about Shrek Academy seemed to be information revealed by her family, right?
Are Ning Fengzhi and the others' brains short-circuited?
He doesn't understand.
Time flies very quickly during cultivation, and soon it was lunchtime.
"Li Qing!"
Li Qing opened his eyes after hearing the shout, still feeling a bit unsatisfied.
He got up, turned off the simulation, and opened the door.
Dugu Yan and the other seven stood in the corridor outside the secret room, looking at him with smiles.
Yu Tianheng said, "Let's go eat."
Li Qing really wanted to say he wasn't hungry and to please let him die in the secret room, but that would seem a bit unsociable, so he just nodded and walked out of the secret room.
"How do you feel?"
On the way to the cafeteria, Yu Tianheng asked, mainly wanting to see how much his increase was, so he could determine his specific talent.
He could also see the gap between them.
Li Qing happily said, "Very good, the efficiency has increased by about 20%."
"Monster."
Dugu Yan couldn't help but mutter softly, a hint of helplessness in her expression.
The others also had helpless looks upon hearing this.
Among them, the highest increase was Yu Tianheng, about 15%, Dugu Yan and the Shi family brothers only had 10%, and the others were even less than 10%.
This gap is a bit large.
If this continues, it's only a matter of time before Li Qing catches up to them and even surpasses them, especially since Li Qing has the advantage of exceeding the limit when absorbing Soul Rings.
"Cough cough, well, I'll treat for lunch. Please take care of me in the future."
Li Qing didn't expect that an unintentional remark would shock them. Feeling awkward, he could only use treating them to compensate for their fragile hearts.
Moreover, treating someone is the simplest and most effective way to make friends.
As a result, upon hearing this, Dugu Yan and the others all looked at Yu Tianheng, because as the captain, he should be the one to treat them to this meal as a welcome for the new member.
Yu Tianheng thought for a moment and said, "Okay, you treat for this meal, and I'll treat for dinner to welcome you."
"Okay!"
Li Qing had no objections.
Yufeng smiled and teased, "Then I'll have to eat my fill today, otherwise I won't be able to compensate for my wounded heart. Just wait for me to empty your wallets."
Shi Mo feigned fierceness and echoed, "That's right, we must eat you into poverty."
Dugu Yan couldn't help but roll her eyes and looked at Yufeng, saying, "I believe the Shi family brothers when they say that, but with your small stomach, how much can you eat even if you eat your fill?"
Yufeng said indignantly, "You dare to underestimate me?"
Dugu Yan raised her right hand, extended her index finger, and shook it, saying, "Let me correct you, I'm not underestimating you, I'm just not looking up to you at all."
"Arrogant! Come on, let's compete!"
Yufeng was furious and immediately put on a stance as if to fight her for three hundred rounds.
Dugu Yan said disdainfully, "If you have the guts, don't fly into the sky."
Yufeng exclaimed, "Wow, when did your skin get so thick? You can say something like that? Why don't you just tell me to lie on the ground and let you hit me?"
Dugu Yan smiled, "That's not impossible."
Upon hearing this, Yufeng gave her a big eye roll.
Just like that, everyone walked into the cafeteria chatting and laughing, making Li Qing inexplicably feel like he was back at school on Earth.
Yufeng and the others said they would eat their fill, but they were just saying it. The meal didn't cost much.
There were no classes in the afternoon either. Li Qing didn't even see Qin Ming. After eating, the few of them went back to the simulated cultivation building to continue cultivating as if they had been doing it for a long time.
In the evening, Yu Tianheng treated them, but not at the school, but outside the school.
Li Qing's first day at Heaven Dou Noble Academy passed so easily and happily. He originally wanted to go to the library to read the book Liu Lao mentioned, but he didn't have time.
The next day, Li Qing specifically took the time to look at that book in the library.
What was recorded in the book was the same as what Liu Lao said, and it was much more severe, because the other person did not stop at Soul King, but died due to a Martial Soul defect when breaking through to Soul King.
He was burned to death by his own Underworld Fire.
However, there was a difference between Li Qing and that Soul Master: the other person's Raven Martial Soul was not mutated but innate; their Martial Soul was a Raven as soon as it awakened.
Li Qing's Underworld Fire is a Soul Skill, while the other person's was an inherent attribute.
Simply put, the other person could achieve Underworld Fire possession and even use Underworld Fire as a normal attack, but Li Qing could not; he could only release Underworld Fire through Soul Skills.
Furthermore, the power of the other person's Underworld Fire was clearly not as strong as Li Qing's Soul Skill.
The text recorded that although the other person's Underworld Fire also had the effect of being difficult to extinguish and burning life force, its power was not great; it took half an hour to burn a Soul Master of the same realm to death.
And Li Qing?
The Soul Supreme who was hit by his Soul Skill at that time was burned to death in just three or four minutes, and this was with a Soul Power gap of about twenty levels.
It would be even more terrifying in the same realm.
However, Li Qing was not sure whether this difference was good or bad. It was possible that he did not have the defect that the other person had, or it was possible that his defect was more serious.
Fortunately, this kind of defect is predictable.
The text recorded that from the Soul Supreme stage, that Soul Master's complexion gradually turned pale, and his body became increasingly thin. By the time he reached Soul King, he was skin and bones.
He was listless, and when lying still, he was no different from a corpse.
As for balancing the life and death attributes, that was a possibility that his teacher researched after his death, a theory that had not been proven.
