Chapter 14: Trial

The energons, with the assistance of Su Xuan’er, flowed into his body like a tide, bringing with it a considerable amount of soul essence.

Su Xuan knew about the transformation of the body by the soul essence, and the consequences of this transformation.

However, this was not the time to hesitate.
Hesitation was not in Su Xuan’s character.
Hesitating before making a decision was prudence, but hesitating after making a decision was foolishness.

The cells were like fledgling birds waiting to be fed.

The soul essence was like the most tempting food, quickly absorbed completely.

The energons also constantly urged the cells to become stronger.

Aging cells were quickly replaced by new cells.

The entire living organism operated with an extraordinary vitality.

Su Xuan could clearly perceive the strengthening of his physical fitness.

With each cultivation session, he could feel himself constantly becoming stronger.

This considerable growth brought Su Xuan immense confidence and a positive attitude towards cultivation.

But that barrier still could not be broken through.

This might have something to do with his lack of a deep foundation.

After all, the previous three years were equivalent to being wasted.

Therefore, his current self still had a lot of room to grow and accumulate strength.

But a true warrior could not be trained just by cultivation.

Although there were no Dark Abominations in the city, no wars, and not that many training grounds, it did not mean there were no training grounds.

Jincheng Training Ground was a training ground composed of retired soldiers.

The trainers inside were all retired from the front lines of the Land of Chaos, people who could no longer step onto the battlefield due to physical reasons.

Although they no longer had the strength to fight against the Dark Abominations, they were still very effective at teaching the little brats in the city who had never seen blood.

Because they had retired from the front lines, their methods were not as gentle as those engaged in educational work.

It was common for students to get injured, but the injuries would not be very serious.

For those hot-blooded youths who aspired to the battlefield, Jincheng Training Ground was always a place that people both hated and loved.

The fees inside were actually not high.
The retired soldiers had a considerable monthly subsidy, so they were not that keen on earning extra money.

It was more about hoping that they could contribute more to society, burning themselves to illuminate others.

If they encountered a seedling with good aptitude and mentality, they would even pay out of their own pockets to escort their growth.

The people inside were very strict, but they were extremely responsible.
Sometimes they would also tell all sorts of stories about the Land of Chaos, which were very moving.

The training was rigorous.
Some people would clamor that they would not go again tomorrow, but the next day they would still obediently arrive there.

Su Xuan had trained at Jincheng Training Ground for a period of time.

However, because he didn’t use his Phantom Soul at that time, the talent he showed was too mediocre, so he didn’t become a regular there.

But his training membership card was still valid.

Su Xuan decided to go and check it out tomorrow.

Early the next morning, Su Xuan did not go to the back mountain to run as usual.
Instead, he tied the special iron blade to his back and went to the Jincheng Training Ground.

If he still had the mood to go for a run after encountering that kind of thing, it would be very suspicious.

There were many people, both men and women, coming and going.

Here, there was a one-to-many class format, as well as a one-on-one elite mode.

His membership card still had four one-on-one opportunities.

He had used one before, and the effect was not very good.

After all, he was not considered a genius at that time, so the remaining four times had not been used.

One-on-one was when a student, at a specific time, consulted a specific coach on a problem.

It could be in terms of cultivation or actual combat.

If the coach felt that you were a person with potential, he would even give you a special number.

In the future, when you came to him for a one-on-one, you would not have to consume your uses.

What Su Xuan wanted to know most now was how to quickly break through to the initial form.

If he cultivated normally, Su Xuan felt that it would take him about two more months to break through to the initial form.

Two months, to break through from an ordinary third-year high school student to the initial form, was already very fast for an ordinary person.

One must know that there were really not many high school students who had the initial form.

The entire White City might only have eleven or twenty of them.

But now, there was less than a month until the day of the big test.

If he could break through to the initial form on the day of the big test, then he might be able to enter the military summer camp, and he could enter the Land of Chaos nearly half a year faster than ordinary people.

For Su Xuan, half a year was enough time to change many things.

Now he urgently needed to get Black Energon Stones for the Crimson Flame Blade to absorb.

While his strength was growing at a speed visible to the naked eye, his mentality was also constantly changing.

Now Su Xuan was gambling, gambling with his dignity as a man, gambling on getting Black Energon Stones before he was completely feminized, to make a desperate comeback.

And whether he could reach the initial form on the day of the big test was the key to this gamble.

He slowly walked into the training ground.
It was very large and very tall, with numerous rooms.

He could vaguely hear the screams of the students.

Su Xuan shivered and walked towards the counter.

“Hello, is there anything I can help you with?”

A friendly voice came.

The counter lady smiled and looked at Su Xuan.

“Er, I’d like to know if there are any level one rooms available now?”

Level one rooms were one-on-one rooms.

“Mmm, please wait a moment, I’ll check… Mmm… there are still three rooms empty, two red, one blue. Which one would you like?”

Red, focusing on actual combat.
The coaches inside mostly taught fighting skills.

Most of those tragic screams came from the red rooms.

Blue, focusing on theory.

Most of them assisted in the cultivation of energons.

Of course, they would still make a move when necessary.

Obviously, the blue room was more suitable for him this time.

“Blue.”

“Okay, please show your membership card, or other valid number.”

“Here, membership card.”

“Okay, please wait a moment.”

The counter lady placed the membership card on the sensor.

A file appeared on the computer screen.
Looking at it roughly, her gaze lingered on the gender column.

She glanced at Su Xuan with a bit of disbelief.

“Here, this is the door card… please be sure to manage the door card well…”

“Thank you.”

Su Xuan picked up the two cards, said thank you, and left.

“Xiao Lan, that person just now was actually a boy~”

As expected, as soon as Su Xuan left, the young lady couldn’t help but say to her colleague on the side.

“Really? The one just now? That’s too unfair. A boy is prettier and more delicate than a girl.”

“Really…”

The two of them chattered, a fujoshi smile slowly appearing on their faces.

On the other side, Su Xuan looked at the door card in his hand and began to search for it according to the map.

“1324… Area one, third floor, room twenty-four.”

Turning left and searching right, he finally found room 1324 at the end of a corridor.

Looking at the tightly closed door, Su Xuan took a deep breath, held the room card in his hand, and slowly placed it on the sensor.

“Beep!”

A sound broke the silence.

The door slowly opened.
