Douluo Continent, Huo Yuhao who returned from Sekiro

Chapter 442 Indulging in Excessive Spending (10,000 words per day)

Wandering aimlessly from the Sun Moon Royal Soul Master Academy, Huo Yuhao soon arrived at a peculiar building.

If Huo Yuhao remembered correctly, this should be the training area of ​​the Sun Moon Royal Soul Master Academy.

Huo Yuhao temporarily put aside the chaotic thoughts in his mind. If the concentration of the spiritual energy inside this place were higher, Huo Yuhao planned to come here to cultivate every night.

Anyway, he's not short of money right now, so spending some money to increase his cultivation speed is not bad.

Looking up, a domed circular building came into Huo Yuhao's view—at least this time it wasn't a semi-underground structure.

To be honest, the people at the Sun Moon Royal Soul Master Academy really like the shapes of circles, cylinders, and hemispheres.

Except for the dormitory buildings, which are square, almost all the buildings look the same.

The silver-gray building stands on the ground, its walls reflecting the lazy afternoon sunlight, making it look incredibly dazzling.

The dome did not appear to be merely a decoration.

Judging from the faintly flowing soul power reaction inside, this might be an incredibly huge soul tool device. However, Huo Yuhao didn't quite understand the principle behind it, and could only vaguely discern its function of gathering free-floating elemental energy.

A device for gathering the primordial energy that is free in the world?

Huo Yuhao's eyes lit up.

Upon entering this building, which is supposedly a cultivation area, one is greeted by a place resembling a hotel lobby. It is almost completely deserted and eerily quiet, with no one in sight except for Huo Yuhao and a few staff members.

Directly opposite was a long counter, where three staff members sat idly by, seemingly slacking off.

That makes sense. Students at the Sun Moon Royal Soul Master Academy spend most of their time either in the Mingde Hall or the laboratory, and very few people would voluntarily spend a lot of their daytime hours cultivating.

Furthermore, if one meditates all night, one's mind will be somewhat foggy the next day, which is not conducive to the production and research of soul tools, and no one will be willing to spend money at night.

It's normal that this place is deserted.

Huo Yuhao consciously walked up to a staff member.

The other person was a little sleepy, but when they saw someone coming, they immediately perked up.

Not only did he straighten his back, but he even flashed a professional smile, demonstrating quite good professionalism.

He glanced at the Soul Master badge that Huo Yuhao hadn't removed from his chest and asked, "Hello, Level Two Soul Master, what service do you require?"

Huo Yuhao looked around but couldn't find any relevant information or description: "Hello, this is my first time in the cultivation area. What services do you offer here?"

Judging from the Sun Moon Royal Soul Master Academy, not many students would come here on their own initiative, so asking this question shouldn't be considered abrupt.

As expected, the receptionist explained skillfully, "The cultivation area is divided into five levels according to the color of the soul ring: white, yellow, purple, black, and red. Each level corresponds to a different concentration of spiritual energy supply and different cultivation equipment and services."

"Only basic meditation cushions and physical training equipment are provided in the white, yellow, and purple areas. Additional services will be charged separately."

"Free rest, food and drink and trial areas are provided in the black and red areas. If you come in a group, you can compete with your companion in the trial area."

"Within the highest-level red-grade area, the latest gravity-amplifying soul tool from Mingde Hall has been installed, which can provide different gravity environments for all soul masters to use."

"At the same time, if you are cultivating in the red-level area, we also provide free awakening and meal delivery services, so that you will never waste your precious research time."

"Since this is your first time here, you have ten minutes to visit and experience the different levels of training environments before making any plans."

Huo Yuhao was somewhat surprised by the thoughtful service provided by the Sun Moon Royal Soul Master Academy.

They even offer a free 10-minute trial for first-time visitors!

Adhering to the principle that "a fool wouldn't take advantage of a cheap deal," Huo Yuhao decided to give it a try first.

First, we entered the lowest level, the white-level training area, which was only about two hundred square meters in size. It was empty, with a bunch of futons scattered on the floor and a bunch of things that looked like gym equipment in the back.

The concentration of the elemental energy of heaven and earth was only slightly higher than that of the outside world.

Afterwards, Huo Yuhao quickly sensed the remaining four cultivation areas. Only the red-level area felt acceptable, with the density of the spiritual energy in the world barely comparable to that of Shrek Academy's inner courtyard.

Back at the front desk, he decisively asked, "How much does the Red-Level Training Area cost?"

The receptionist replied, "It costs twenty gold soul coins per hour. All fees will be settled after you finish your cultivation."

Twenty gold soul coins per hour is not expensive; in fact, it's almost like they're losing money to gain publicity.

You should know that the trial area, which is specifically for fighting, costs 100 gold soul coins for just two hours.

I have no idea what's going on with this strange pricing.

Perhaps it's because the students of the Sun Moon Royal Soul Master Academy all use soul tools, which make a lot of noise and are more likely to damage the trial area.

If you could shout out in the Douluo Continent: Three Kingdoms and spend 20 gold coins to enter Shrek Academy's inner courtyard for an hour of meditation, the tickets would probably sell out instantly.

Seeing the abundant spiritual energy of heaven and earth in the red-level cultivation area being wasted, Huo Yuhao felt extremely distressed.

Although the price of twenty gold soul coins per hour is indeed unaffordable for ordinary soul masters, Huo Yuhao is now very wealthy, especially after negotiating a business deal with the Nine Treasure Glazed Tile School. Huo Yuhao is now rolling in money.

Huo Yuhao bought a two-year membership card in one go, and the waitress's eyes narrowed with joy. It was free commission!

For a moment, the young lady's gaze towards Huo Yuhao was filled with a hint of longing.

The receptionist was very efficient; she entered all the information into the database in just one minute and handed over a bright red crystal card with both hands.

"This is your Red-level annual VIP card. Please keep it safe. With this card, you can also enjoy a massage and medicinal bath once a day after your cultivation. We wish you progress in your cultivation, good fortune in your martial arts, and a speedy advancement to the ninth-level Soul Master."

"Thanks."

Huo Yuhao ignored the other person's gaze and re-entered the red-level training area.

Unlike the cramped white-level area, the red-level training area is located on the top floor of the entire building, and is a super-large training area of ​​tens of thousands of square meters.

On the left, you'll see a row of doors, each leading to a private room.

These individual rooms are not only equipped with soft beds and cushions, but also have a separate power supply pipeline, which can further increase the concentration of the primordial energy within the room.

Once the door is locked from the inside, the filler between the wall and the door will block out most of the outside noise.

Furthermore, apart from staff members' access cards, no one else can open it from the outside.

Huo Yuhao couldn't help but sigh at the fact that no one came to such a nice place.

Before Huo Yuhao could even begin his proper cultivation, a series of footsteps approached. Huo Yuhao turned his head and saw a young man of about twenty-five or twenty-six years old standing there.
