Professionals of the Starry Skies - Chapter 275

[275. Chapter 275 Training Room (asking for monthly ticket)]

An obelisk, its tip seemingly stained with blood, stands proudly on the horizon.

As Fang Xing got closer, he realized that this obelisk was terrifyingly huge, at least ten thousand meters high, like a gigantic mountain.

Moreover, the closer you get to the dark monument, the stronger the pressure you can feel.

Fang Xing glanced at Nangong Xue beside him and found that this was indeed a doctoral student at the seventh level. No matter how fast he accelerated, she could easily keep up.

“I wonder if you, Nangong, are a doctoral student admitted through social examination… or did you go straight to the doctorate?”

He didn’t know why this woman was interested in him, so he asked tentatively.

“I was originally a graduate student at Jiujian College, and luckily I passed the doctoral exam in my last year…”

Nangong Xue replied with a slight smile.

Although her dress looks a bit rustic, she was actually a child of destiny back then.

Like Gu Zhen, he didn’t have the confidence to break through to the Vajra Realm during his graduate studies.

One can only hone his skills in society or the army after graduation, hoping to break through the seventh level before the age of fifty.

In this way, there is also an opportunity to participate in the doctoral admissions of Jiujian College.

In other words, Nangong Xue’s talent is even stronger than Gu Zhen’s!

The federal government holds the college entrance examination once a year, and geniuses are worthless.

The two chatted for a few words and came to the bottom of the obelisk.

As far as the eye can see, there is a vast expanse of black that has no end in sight.

[Ding, authority confirmed, passage allowed! ]

A feeling of danger came over me, but quickly dissipated.

Fang Xing’s heart moved, and he reached out his hand to touch the somewhat cold body of the obelisk above.

A rough caressing feeling came.

Cold and smooth… It feels like touching the skin of a scaly creature, and there is an inexplicable life and vitality jumping on your fingertips.

In Fang Xing’s perception, this black obelisk with a red roof seemed to be “alive”.

“No! Not only that…”

His heart moved slightly and he looked at the attribute panel.

Suddenly, the rune representing the Gate of the Heavens began to tremble slightly!
‘The Gate of the Heavens is responding!’

“This obelisk… can be used as an ‘energy source’ to be absorbed by the Gate of the Heavens?”

Fang Xing’s heart was immediately filled with shock: “This… could it be that the obelisk is related to the ‘Gate of Nothingness’?”

His “Mahavairocana Mantra” accepts all requests related to evil gods.

But the ‘Gate of All Heavens’ has always been picky and is only interested in the ‘Gate of Nothingness’.

This forced Fang Xing to start making associations.

“That’s right. That alien race is said to be related to the evil god. Perhaps they are worshipping an incarnation or aspect of the Gate of Nothingness…”

‘Besides that… it could also be that the items I had previously come into contact with were too low-level and did not attract the interest of the ‘Gate of the Heavens’… Could this ‘obelisk’ be related to a special evil god? The other two of the three pillars?’

…

His mind was in turmoil and a look of shock appeared on his face.

Nangong Xue just watched with a smile, as if she was used to the exclamations of outsiders.

“Let’s go… The training room is inside the obelisk. The time spent must be exchanged for credits…”

She explained with a smile, and a dark crystal card appeared in her hand.

After using the card to lightly swipe the surface of the obelisk, a door will open automatically.

“credit?!”

Fang Xing nodded and called Han Chunfeng directly: “Professor Han… I have a little trouble here…”

After more than ten minutes, a golden light flew over. It was Gu Zhen who was using the Golden Core Realm to speed up his journey.

He handed a pitch-black card to Fang Xing: “Teacher said that he was going to show you around here in three days, but I didn’t expect you to come here first. So let’s try to practice… The practice room here can only be entered by warriors in the Vajra Realm, which is quite dangerous… In addition, one credit can only be used for one day. This is a special temporary card with a limit of one thousand credits, which can only be used in the Obelisk…”

“Thank you very much.”

Fang Xing took the black card and thanked him politely.

Gu Zhen finally breathed a sigh of relief and looked at Nangong Xue next to him: “Senior Nangong…”

“Oh? You know each other?”

Fang Xing smiled.

“We are from the same school after all.”

Gu Zhen seemed to be hesitant to talk.

Don’t be fooled by Nangong Xuewen’s weak and rustic appearance. She is actually well-known for being crazy in the Nine Swords Academy.

The other party also followed the [Sword Saint] profession and had passed the Seven Swords Trial. He even took the initiative to replace his own bloodline with that of the descendant of the evil god when he was in the Golden Elixir stage, and almost turned into an evil creature.

And… he also proposed several experiments to keep the offspring of evil gods in captivity. Although they were all shot, they are still very famous in the Nine Swords Academy.

He is particularly keen on the study of ancient evil gods, and his preferences should be similar. It is said that everything he liked before were those that were closely related to evil gods.

The academy even relied on this to catch deeply hidden followers of the evil god!

“Then… I’m leaving.”

He was too embarrassed to speak in front of his senior schoolmate and quickly said goodbye and left.

…

“It’s weird.”

Fang Xing watched Gu Zhen leave and walked into the obelisk.

Trample!

The sound of muffled footsteps echoed back and forth in the wide passage.

The interior of the obelisk is very empty, and even the space has a sense of confusion and disorder.

He felt that if he took a step forward, he might be able to cross a distance of a thousand meters, or he might end up falling behind.

At the same time, a strange force descended, bringing with it a sense of seal and repression.

“Suppress… the evil god’s pollution?!”

Fang Xing was a little surprised.

He turned around and saw black scales emerging on Nangong Xue’s body. Her eyes turned into vertical pupils and she looked like the legendary snake girl.

But the next moment, everything returned to normal.

“As expected… many of the professionals in the Nine Swords Academy are abnormal, especially those in the ‘Sword Saint’ department…”

Fang Xing secretly complained in his heart, but a serious look appeared on his face: “What’s wrong with you?”

“Nothing, it’s just that the evil god blood in my body is passively stimulated…”

Nangong Xue adjusted her glasses and smiled widely: “Every time I come here, I feel a lot more relaxed…”

The Sword Saint class focuses on refining the evil spirit into the body, and completely absorbing and digesting it…

It can be said that we are always fighting against the pollution of evil gods.

This is true whether it is on the spiritual and will level or on the physical and blood level!

There is indeed some peace in this obelisk that can suppress the pollution of the evil god.

It can even help some professionals who are about to go half crazy to stay sane temporarily.

But in Fang Xing’s sea of consciousness, the Vairocana Mantra slowly revolved, and a huge scarlet sun rose up.

He touched the Mahavairocana relic between his eyebrows and felt that everything was normal.

‘Either the obelisk is not normal, or I am not normal… then there must be something wrong with the obelisk.’

Fang Xing muttered in his heart and followed Nangong Xue into an elevator.

“This is just the interior of the obelisk, and we haven’t reached the training room yet…”

Nangong Xue introduced Fang Xing: “There are nine levels of training rooms here, divided into nine floors… Generally speaking, for outsiders in the Vajra Realm, my suggestion is to start from the first floor…”

“Well, I’d like to see it for myself.”

Fang Xing walked out of the elevator and saw an empty corridor.

Every few thousand meters, there is a huge door.

The door is also carved from black stone, exuding an ancient and mysterious atmosphere.

The light in the passage was dim, but every line on the door was so clear and perfect.

“The feeling of the evil god’s building…”

Fang Xing took out his temporary black card and gently swiped it across the door.

Crash!

The door opened with a bang, revealing a training room at the back.

This training room is very small, only about ten square meters. It is completely inconsistent with the towering gate that looks like it is from the outside, giving a sense of mismatch.

“It’s another spatial chaos…”

Fang Xing turned around and saw Nangong Xue waiting outside, but she had not come in.

Then, the pitch-black door slowly closed.

In an instant, the training room fell into darkness.

Endless darkness swept over, and Fang Xing felt just like when the Moon Goddess attacked, the darkness that could devour everything descended!

‘No……’

“It’s not an illusion, this is it!”

“However, the extent of the situation has been controlled, and the danger has been reduced a lot… Could it be that the body of the Moon Goddess is under the obelisk?”

A golden light appeared in Fang Xing’s dantian and turned into a golden sun, rising from behind him.

Then, like a blazing sun in the darkness, it illuminated everything!
In the void, countless darknesses were ignited, and emerged endlessly.

The ‘darkness’ here seemed to have life as well, surging in like a tide, ready to drown this bit of golden light.

“If it was an ordinary martial arts golden elixir, it would probably not be able to hold on by now…”

“No matter how strong the golden elixir is, facing this weakened version of the evil god’s pollution, it is no different from a candle in the wind…”

Fang Xing sat cross-legged, his expression unchanged.

Countless darkness was ignited and dissipated by the golden light…it was impossible to get within three feet.

He had an idea in his mind and restrained his golden elixir realm.

Crack! Crack!
The darkness fell on him, making a terrible gnawing sound.

It was as if countless evil spirits from hell were gnawing at his limbs!
Fang Xing was surrounded by golden light, like a golden arhat. Even though he had fallen into hell, he remained majestic and motionless.

“As expected…”

After a moment, a look of realization emerged on his face: “The principle of the obelisk to assist in body training… is destruction! By controlling the intensity of pollution, it erodes the martial arts golden body…”

“Those low-turning golden bodies will be constantly worn away in this darkness… just like the process of constantly polishing a rough jade, only after blowing away all the yellow sand can the gold be found?”

“But, for me, the pollution here is too weak… It would take at least eight levels of pollution to feel anything.”

“If you want better results, you should go to the ninth floor and hone your Vajra physique…”

“This Nine Swords Academy has indeed studied the evil god pollution very thoroughly.”

Fang Xing felt emotional.

For him, this is a good place to practice.

As for ordinary warriors in the Vajra Realm, if they are not careful, they may end up like Pan Xiong and Wei Shentong!

“No, Wei Shentong is at the Great Vajra Realm, so he shouldn’t be a problem at the ninth level…”

“On the contrary, Mr. Pan Xiong may not survive past the eighth floor…”
