National Games: Hang up from the zombie apocalypse

The training ground is located in the central prism region of the planet.

At the entrance, two elderly men dressed in white robes stood still.

An old man nodded to Fang Heng and asked, "Martial artist, is this your first time in a cultivation area? Would you like me to explain this area to you?"

Fang Heng clasped his hands in greeting and said, "Thank you for your help, seniors."

The old man said, "There are two types of cultivation methods in the cultivation grounds. The first is one-on-one instruction, which provides cultivation guidance and can help martial artists break through bottlenecks as quickly as possible."

"The second method is to directly provide energy by infusing the body with academic energy, which helps martial artists improve their academic level in the shortest time. However, it is important to remember that this method of cultivation will lead to an unstable foundation. It is necessary to further comprehend and cultivate to fully integrate the power."

"In addition, entry to the training ground is charged by time. Once the number of dimensional crystals stored in a martial artist's token is exhausted, the martial artist will be automatically expelled from the space."

Fang Heng listened, lost in thought.

With his divine eye and his understanding of domain power, breaking through is as easy as eating and drinking. He no longer needs one-on-one teaching; he only needs to absorb energy.

And it's charged by the hour?

And such good things?

He possesses a zombie clone, and theoretically, his energy absorption rate is hundreds of times that of an ordinary person.

Wouldn't that be a huge profit?
The old man said, "Martial artist, if you wish to enter the cultivation area, please first present your trial token for registration. Afterward, I will lead you into the cultivation area and you can choose your cultivation space."

"Thank you, senior."

Fang Heng handed over the token, and after completing the registration, he entered the cultivation area under the guidance of the old man.

A fork in the road appeared on the left and right sides ahead.

The old man in white explained, "The left side corresponds to the teaching area, and the right side corresponds to the academic power infusion area. Which training should the martial artist undergo?"

"Infused with academic strength."

"Okay, please come with me."

The old man in white led Fang Heng through the barrier at the right fork in the road and into the right area along the passage.

Beyond the passage was a circular open space.

The teleportation magic circles corresponding to the various high-level academic training spaces are arranged in a circle.

As can be seen, the three major academic disciplines of hell, holiness, and the dead have not appeared.

Huh?
Fang Heng carefully examined each academic area, then suddenly raised an eyebrow and looked at two structures in the teleportation corridor, his eyes lighting up immediately.

The study of incantations?
This academic approach has never been seen before!

Are there still some who slipped through the net?
Fang Heng asked, "Senior, may I ask what kind of academic discipline is the study of incantations?"

"Simply put, by using incantations and prayers to summon ancient beings, calamities, or ancient gods, one can directly pray for the creature to enter the battlefield or, in a short time, merge the ancient being with oneself to gain a significant attribute boost."

The old man calmly explained, "The study of incantations usually requires the consumption of offerings each time it is performed. It also depends on the personality and relationship between the warrior and the ancient creature being summoned. Failure to summon the creature can easily result in a backlash, so this academic study is not widely known."

Fang Heng pondered silently.

It sounds like the way believers in evil gods summon evil gods.

It's ok.

He doesn't actually need to summon any ancient artifacts through incantations; he just needs this skill to boost his stats.

Let's take this opportunity to max it out all at once.

"Thank you for your explanation, senior."

Fang Heng clasped his hands in a fist salute to the white-robed elder and walked to the teleportation passage leading to the mystical arts.

No rush, let's start with the study of mysticism.

Mysticism is a relatively popular academic discipline with low difficulty of cultivation. It is quite effective in combat, and many martial artists practice it.

"call out!"

Fang Heng stood in the center of the magic circle, and with a flash of thought, his figure disappeared quickly.

When Fang Heng opened his eyes again, he was already in the trial space.

Huh?
Such a rich and profound mystical power!
Upon being teleported into the cultivation grounds, Fang Heng felt a surge of astrological power rushing towards him.

The concentration of arcane energy was so high that it even atomized, with a large amount of misty arcane energy filling the space, giving him the illusion that arcane energy was being forced into his body.

In this environment, even if the zombie clones are just summoned, they can absorb energy without touching the prism crystal; it's just that the efficiency is a bit slower.

Fang Heng nodded to himself and looked around.

The trial space is about half the size of a football field, and the outer perimeter of the space is covered by a barrier.

Inside, a tall crystal pillar rises from the ground at the center, constantly emitting esoteric energy.

Fang Heng looked at the crystal column, his eyes filled with admiration.

A beam of energy!

It is dozens of times larger than the one I saw in the Tiger Lord Dimensional Realm before.

OK!

Central Dimension made the right choice!
The crystal pillars in the Tiger Lord's Trial Grounds were simply too small; even a circle of zombie clones couldn't absorb them all!
Fang Heng then looked to his right.

He wasn't alone in the trial space; there were also two unfamiliar alien races and an old man in a white robe.

Two alien beings were sitting cross-legged, absorbing arcane energy.

Fang Heng remembered that the God King had mentioned that the World Emperor had a total of eight World Lords under his command. Every time the Martial Arts Tournament was held, the World Lords would personally lead a team to select ten people to participate, making a total of eighty people. The remaining forty-eight people were martial artists selected from the Dimensional Realm.

The old man saw Fang Heng's gaze, nodded slightly to him, and said, "I am the guardian of the Trial Grounds of the Arcane Studies Region. You have entered the training area and you can begin your training at any time."

"clear."

Without further thought, Fang Heng flicked his wrist, and a thick stack of talisman paper appeared in his hand. He then flung it forward!
"Bang! Bang bang bang!!"

The rune paper exploded in the air, and lickers burst out from the shattered rune paper, quickly forming fleshy cocoons after landing on the ground.

The old man frowned slightly upon seeing this, but did not stop it.

Many martial artists entered the cultivation grounds, and he had seen many alien races with special abilities to absorb energy.

Judging from his appearance, he seems to want to absorb energy through his clone?
Can a clone absorb academic power directly through contact?

It's rare.

"Pfft, pfft pfft...!"

The fleshy cocoon broke open one by one on the ground.

The zombie-shaped clone crawled out of the cocoon and staggered slowly toward the central prism pillar. At the same time, its body began to slowly split, one into two, two into four, and quickly split into large swathes of zombie clones that spread toward the prism pillar.

In the blink of an eye, the zombies surrounded the prism prism, reaching out to touch its surface and directly absorbing its arcane power.

"Oh?"

A look of surprise appeared in the eyes of the old man in white.

It actually absorbs energy through direct point-to-point contact?
The old man glanced at Fang Heng beside him and nodded inwardly.

interesting.

Directly touching the prism prism to absorb energy requires one's own strong mental power; otherwise, one's own ritual sea will be overwhelmed by the prism prism's enormous energy.

Most ordinary martial artists do not actively absorb energy directly through touch, but rather absorb free-floating mystical energy from the outside world, which minimizes the backlash on the body.

Not to mention that if hundreds of clones absorb energy at the same time, the impact on the sea of ​​consciousness will be hundreds of times greater!
A very good newcomer!

This martial artist possesses formidable mental strength! (End of Chapter)
