Chapter 86: Chapter 74: Neighbor of Room 3 Chapter 86: Chapter 74: Neighbor of Room 3 On the way to the South District Third Garden, there were signs and members of the student council all along the route.
And not only were Su Yuan and Huang Xiang there, but along the way, many freshmen who had completed their registration were also heading towards the dormitory area, so they just followed the crowd.
After a while, Su Yuan and Huang Xiang finally arrived at the dormitory area.
“What a big tree…”
All the students who came here couldn’t help but be amazed when they saw the giant tree ahead!
It was a huge ancient tree over two hundred meters tall, spreading its branches and leaves, standing on a flat land.
Around it, there were two circles of dormitories.
The inner circle had one hundred rooms, all in two-story row houses, close to the giant tree.
The outer circle had two hundred rooms, also in two-story houses.
Since each room accommodated two people, the houses were larger but a bit farther from the Divine Tree.
On the outermost side, there were a dozen expansive six-story flat buildings scattered around.
All the buildings were in a forest style, blending together seamlessly, complemented by the central giant tree and surrounding greenery.
It looked more like garden villas than student dormitories!
Huang Xiang exclaimed to Su Yuan, “That giant ancient tree must be the Soul-binding Divine Tree of the Demon Capital Academy, which was reportedly brought here by the overlords from the depths of the Ancient Forbidden Zone when the academy was founded.
It’s a fourth-level spirit plant.”
“Besides being able to enhance alertness, dispel evil, and ward off demons, its main function is to gather Star Power!”
“A fourth-level spirit plant?”
Su Yuan felt greatly surprised.
A fourth-level spirit plant was equivalent to an Epic grade Star Beast or Star Card, which was extremely rare.
After sensing a bit, Su Yuan nodded and said, “The Star Power around here is indeed a bit denser.”
“That’s from far away,” Huang Xiang shook his head and smiled, looking at Su Yuan with envy.
“You’re living in the Southern First Garden, the innermost circle, where the Star Power concentration is reportedly thirty percent higher than outside!”
“Thirty percent?!”
Su Yuan’s eyes lit up.
If the increase was indeed thirty percent, that would be significant, especially for students with high-grade Soul Cards!
The higher the grade of the Soul Card, the faster it could refine Star Power.
Now that the Star Power concentration was also increased, the cultivation speed would naturally be greatly enhanced!
After chatting for a while, Huang Xiang smiled and said, “Su Yuan, I’m off to Building 7.
You need to go further to the inner Southern First Garden.
Let’s exchange contacts and catch up later when we’re free.”
“Alright.”
After exchanging contact information, the two parted ways.
Su Yuan continued on through the Southern Second Garden into the innermost Southern First Garden.
“This is Room 72.
Is Room 4 to the right…”
Su Yuan walked around the giant tree for a while and quickly found Rooms 1, 2, 3, and 4 on the south side of the Divine Tree.
Standing in front of Room 4’s door, Su Yuan swiped his student ID and the door opened automatically.
The first floor was a living area, with a living room, bedroom, toilet, and even a kitchen.
And since there was only one bedroom, it looked quite spacious.
The second floor mainly consisted of a cultivation room.
The floor of the cultivation room was engraved with a multifunctional fixed barrier that had pest repellent, sound insulation, and Star Power fluctuation isolation functions.
There was also a more than thirty square meter semi-circular open-air balcony on the side close to the Divine Tree.
Leaning against the balcony railing, Su Yuan felt the dappled sunlight on his head while looking at the lush branches and leaves of the Divine Tree before him.
Just by looking at the Soul-binding Divine Tree, he felt a refreshing coolness, his senses became clear, and distracting thoughts faded away.
Moreover, as Huang Xiang had said, the Spiritual Power concentration here was indeed thirty percent higher, if not more!
“As expected of a fourth-level spirit plant!”
Su Yuan felt greatly satisfied.
Ignoring everything else, just having a dormitory close to the Soul-binding Divine Tree was already a great gain!
Back on the first floor, Su Yuan thoroughly cleaned the place and organized the many daily necessities he had bought and stored in his ring.
“According to the email, today is the freshman registration day.
Starting tomorrow until the 8th, there are seven days for the freshmen to replace their mentors through challenges during the pre-selection period.
If I’m not mistaken, before the pre-selection challenges begin, each mentor should meet with their pre-selected students first, which should be today.”
Opening his phone, Su Yuan checked the time and saw it was already 1 PM.
After confirming there were no new messages, Su Yuan took out some food from his ring to quickly fill his stomach and then got up to go out and explore the academy first.
After all, it was his first time at this school, and familiarizing himself with the environment was a priority.
There was no need to rush to cultivate.
He decided to check out the teaching buildings, Practical Combat Hall, and library of this top academy to see how they differed from Guangchuan Fourth Middle School.
As Su Yuan walked out of his room and passed by Room 3 next door, the door opened, and Su Yuan couldn’t help but look over.
A slender young man in a coarse gray robe with slightly long hair, tall stature, and a face with some freckles, looking very ordinary, stood there.
He was the type who wouldn’t stand out in a crowd.
However, Su Yuan was well aware that someone living in this room couldn’t possibly be ordinary.
The more ordinary someone appeared, the more extraordinary they likely were.
“Is this what they call ‘complete concealment’?”
Su Yuan recalled the term Vice Chairman Qin mentioned today.
This should be a method to hide the fluctuations of Star Power under normal circumstances.
Although Su Yuan could somewhat suppress Star Power fluctuations by concentrating Star Power Vortex, it was far from what Xiang Dingqian could achieve.
Undoubtedly, his direction was wrong.
There must be some techniques involved.
Apart from Xiang Dingqian, this young man before him was the second freshman he had seen who achieved complete concealment.
He could sense no trace of Star Power fluctuations from him.
At this moment, seeing Su Yuan looking over, the young man smiled warmly and waved at him.
Only then did Su Yuan notice the young man’s hands.
They were not only unusually fair but also quite slender and delicate, even more beautiful than those of a girl.
“Hello, I’m Shang Baiyu.” The young man walked up and greeted with a smile.
“Hello, Student Shang, I’m Su Yuan.”
“So you’re Su Yuan, who ranked first in the supplementary special admissions.
Nice to meet you.” Shang Baiyu smiled and added, “Also, just call me Xiao Shang or Baiyu.”
Xiao Shang?
Uh…
Su Yuan’s expression grew somewhat peculiar.
This special admissions student living in Room 3 of the Southern First Garden was quite courteous, almost excessively so…
“Let’s go with Baiyu,” Su Yuan said, “Baiyu, where are you heading now?”
“I’m planning to explore the Demon Capital Academy, especially the Practical Combat Hall!” Shang Baiyu’s eyes flashed with excitement.

After a moment of thought, Su Yuan said, “I was about to go there too.
Mind if I join you?”
Meeting a couple of new friends at a new school was undoubtedly a good thing.
Plus, Su Yuan also wanted to see the Practical Combat Hall and gauge the level of the new freshmen at Demon Capital Academy.
“Sure,” Shang Baiyu replied with excitement.
“Practical Combat Hall No.
1 is nearby, just a twenty-minute walk north.
Let’s go quickly.
I heard some freshmen couldn’t wait to spar already!”
Su Yuan cast a surprised look at Shang Baiyu.
This guy, he didn’t expect him to be a battle maniac…
Su Yuan nodded, and they quickly headed towards Practical Combat Hall No.
1 together.
