Cultivation Simulator: Shocking the Academy

Zhao Dongfang beside him also snapped back to reality, exclaiming, "Yes, his speed is too fast, I couldn't even see how he moved."

Luo Chen nodded, took a deep breath, and said, "Truly impressive. I think he has at least the strength of a Soul Master. Yet, despite this, he still lost to that person, and it only took one move." As he spoke, he turned to look at Li Qing, whose face remained indifferent, and his heart couldn't help but stir with emotions.

Li Qing gave the impression of being incredibly unfathomable. He seemed lazy and indifferent to cultivation, yet his strength was terrifying. Luo Chen thought about his own master, who only became a Soul Demon in his fifties after years of retreat and cultivation. But Li Qing, looking much younger than his master, had already reached such a high realm. Such talent and power were truly hard to believe.

"What are you thinking about, young brother?" Li Qing came over and asked, looking at the thoughtful Luo Chen.

Luo Chen raised his head, meeting Li Qing's gaze, and suddenly asked curiously, "Senior, are you from the Martial Soul Hall? What kind of organization is the Martial Soul Hall?" He was indeed eager to know what secrets and stories this mysterious and powerful organization in the Divine Fire Empire held.

However, his question made both Li Qing and Zhao Dongfang pause in surprise. Immediately, laughter erupted around them.

"That guy doesn't know about the Martial Soul Hall? Hahaha, that's hilarious!"

"Don't even know the Martial Soul Hall, are you even from the Soul Energy Continent? Could it be you came from another dimension?"

"Hahahahahahahaha..."

Laughter rose and fell, and Luo Chen stood there bewildered, looking quite innocent. He did not understand why his question had drawn such a big reaction, only feeling somewhat embarrassed and confused.

Zhao Dongfang couldn't help but pull at his arm, laughing softly, "You rascal, are you saying this on purpose to get attention?" Although he was teasing Luo Chen, there was no malice in his tone, but rather a sense of warmth and friendliness.

Luo Chen smiled wryly and shook his head, "I really haven't heard of the Martial Soul Hall," he admitted, "I come from a remote town, maybe that's why I'm more ignorant."

After hearing Luo Chen's explanation, Li Qing smiled and nodded to show his understanding, "I see. The Martial Soul Hall is one of the largest Soul Master organizations in the Divine Fire Empire, gathering many top Soul Masters and powerful beings. It's not only responsible for cultivating and selecting outstanding Soul Master talents, but it also maintains the order and stability of the Soul Master Realm in the empire."

Luo Chen shook his head lightly, with a bit of bewilderment on his face, "I really didn't know about the Martial Soul Hall. Do you understand it, Zhao Dongfang?" He turned to his friend beside him, hoping to get some answers from him.

Zhao Dongfang widened his eyes, as if he had heard something unbelievable, "Nonsense, who in the Divine Fire Empire doesn't know the Martial Soul Hall? No, I should say who on the Soul Energy Continent doesn't know the Martial Soul Hall!" His tone was filled with astonishment at Luo Chen's ignorance, but more so with admiration for the Martial Soul Hall.

He paused, then continued, "The Martial Soul Hall is ranked first among the strong organizations of all countries for fifty years. It used to be very mysterious, with little known about it to the outside world. But with its strong rise in recent years, more and more strong figures from the Martial Soul Hall have appeared before people. I heard there are nearly a hundred Soul Cultivator powerhouses from various countries, and the weakest of them is at the Soul King level!"

Luo Chen's heart trembled, and his expression changed dramatically, "How can there be so many powerful beings? Where did you hear this from?" He asked incredulously, for this news was too shocking for him.

"Why not?" Zhao Dongfang retorted, "This is data compiled intentionally by those with a heart, and it's accurate. And this person before you," he pointed to Li Qing beside him, "is said to be a once-in-a-century Soul Cultivator genius from the Martial Soul Hall, Li Qing."

Luo Chen looked at Li Qing and found that he still wore a slight indifferent smile on his face, as if he was already accustomed to all this. Luo Chen thought to himself, if what Zhao Dongfang said was true, then the strength of the Martial Soul Hall must far exceed that of the Celestial Peak Sect and other major sects. If it were to attack the Celestial Peak Sect and other righteous sects… he dared not think further; the result was too startling.

However, just as his thoughts were chaotic and his heart filled with worries, he suddenly heard someone in the crowd exclaim, "Miss Han Longxue is coming down! Everyone look!"

This exclamation seemed to possess magic power, instantly drawing everyone's attention. Even Li Qing, who had maintained an indifferent expression, turned his head at this moment.

Luo Chen, curious, turned around as well, only to see at the entrance of the balcony a graceful woman slowly walking down like the moon being surrounded by stars, her face veiled in purple. Her slim figure and captivating charm attracted people's hearts even without showing her face! She seemed to carry her own light, standing out particularly in the crowd.

"Miss Han Longxue!" Someone shouted excitedly, his voice full of admiration and reverence. This name clearly had great fame within the Dark Night Tower, almost everyone recognized her or had heard of her famous name.

As Han Longxue slowly approached, the atmosphere in the crowd became increasingly lively. Her appearance seemed to add a few shades of color and vitality to the banquet, making people eager to catch a glimpse of her true beauty.

At this moment, Li Qing also restrained the indifference on his face, his gaze tightly fixed on Han Longxue. Luo Chen noticed his change and couldn't help but be curious about what kind of charm this Miss Han Longxue possessed to move even a powerhouse like Li Qing.
